Chapter 101: Sixth Place On The Heavenly Dao Golden List

In the past, the Xian family was weak, struggling even to leave their mountainous homeland. Moreover, the Qing family always looked down on them, so the Xian family avoided interacting with them.

But now, the Xian family had grown strong, and they had the confidence to stand proud before others.

"That's fine, we can visit when it suits you!" said Xian Wu.

"Let's go in a few days. It happens to be your grandfather's 100th birthday soon," he added.

"Sounds good!" Xian Yue nodded in agreement, knowing it wasn't a troublesome matter.

On that same day, a voice echoed across the universe: "Congratulations to Xian Feng for becoming a Great Emperor, ranking 6th on the Heavenly Gold List. His reward is 'Immortal Grade Divine Soul Technique: Part One!'"

The sudden announcement startled all the living beings in the universe, followed by an uproar of disbelief.

"What's happening? Another person has become a Great Emperor just like that?"

"And this person's surname is Xian! Could he be related to the recently ascended Great Emperor, Xian Wu?"

"It's not just that. These two new Great Emperors share a surname with the mysterious figure who ranks first on the Heavenly Gold List. There must be a connection!"

"How else could two people from the same family break the universe's limits and ascend to become Great Emperors? It must be that powerful being who broke the rules of heaven and earth for them!"

"A family named Xian? Does anyone know of a powerful Xian family? I'd love to become their son-in-law!"

"And the reward is incredible! An Immortal Grade soul technique? Does that mean one could cultivate their soul to the point of immortality? Could it be like the legendary True Immortal, who is said to live forever?"

"The reward Xian Wu received was also impressive – the Immortal Stone. It's said that sitting on it grants you immortality like a True Immortal!"

For a moment, the entire universe buzzed with excitement.

Earlier, it had been astonishing enough that one Great Emperor appeared, but now there was another. People couldn't help but wonder if the Xian family was free from the rules of the universe. And if two had already ascended, surely there could be a third or a fourth…

Many powerful forces gasped at the thought.

"If these three individuals from the Xian family are all related, then this is truly the most powerful family in the universe!" someone exclaimed.

"Xian family? Which Xian family could it be?"

Not only were regular cultivators shocked, but even other Great Emperors were caught off guard. They pondered not only how the Xian family was producing Great Emperors one after another but also how Xian Wu and Xian Feng had suddenly achieved such a status.

At that moment, the consciousness of several Great Emperors spread across the universe, searching for the newly ascended Great Emperor. But they were unable to detect any trace of him.

"Even if the mysterious figure who ranks first on the Heavenly Gold List can break the rules of heaven and earth for them, surely they would need to be quasi-emperors first, right?" asked one of the Great Emperors.

"But the truth is, these two were not even Supreme cultivators before, let alone quasi-emperors. So how did they go from a level below Supreme all the way to Great Emperor in one leap?"

On the primary planet of the Absolute Beginning Star Domain, an elderly man with a cane walked through a mortal city. He gazed up at the Heavenly Gold List and muttered to himself.

This was the Great Emperor of Time and Space, ranked second on the Heavenly Gold List.

He speculated that the Absolute Beginning Star Domain might hold a glimmer of hope for the future of the universe, possibly due to the presence of the mysterious being ranked first on the Heavenly Gold List. That being might be the reason the star domain had such potential.

Driven by this thought, the Great Emperor traveled across the stars to this place, searching for clues about the senior being and the elusive opportunity to attain immortality.

Beside him stood a young girl in a white dress. She looked surprised and said, "Grandpa, are you serious? How can anyone leap from Supreme to Great Emperor overnight? No matter how strong their foundation, that's impossible!"

The Great Emperor of Time and Space smiled and replied, "Oh? Does my little Yoona have her own theory? Go ahead, tell Grandpa how someone could suddenly become a Great Emperor."

"How would I know?" she said, frustrated. "Unless we find someone from the Xian family and ask them ourselves!"

She paused and then asked thoughtfully, "Grandpa, you know so much about the universe. Do you know where the Xian family is? Maybe they're connected to the Xian family that keeps appearing on the Heavenly Gold List?"

"Xian is not an uncommon surname," her grandfather replied. "There are quite a few notable Xian families across the universe, including one that has produced quasi-emperors. But I've already investigated them in secret. None of those Xian families have anything special about them. There's no hidden mystery."

Shaking his head, he continued, "Several other experts from the Imperial Scriptures have also searched through the Xian families in the universe and found nothing. It's possible, however, that this Xian family on the Heavenly Gold List is a different one entirely."

At that moment, the girl's ears twitched as she heard a distant conversation. "Grandpa," she said excitedly, "someone found a strange fire! I want to check it out!"

"Strange fire? You don't need that kind of thing. Why are you getting involved in this?" her grandfather asked, puzzled.

"Who said I don't need it? I don't have a single strange fire yet!"

"Well, I have several of them with me," the Great Emperor said.

"But you found those, Grandpa. They're not mine. This time, I want to find a strange fire on my own!" she replied with a smile.

"Alright, alright," her grandfather relented. "But if you're going to rely on your own strength to obtain a strange fire, remember not to use your powerful artifacts to just snatch it away."

"Of course, Grandpa. I'll play fair," the girl said with a laugh. And with that, she transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

Elsewhere, Xian Yan also caught wind of the strange fire and grew excited. "I've been searching for so long, and finally, there's news of a strange fire!"

Over time, his cultivation had progressed, but not as quickly as his family's, as the resources they had at home were far superior to what he had access to after leaving.

However, if he could find a high-grade strange fire and absorb it, his cultivation would soar. With that thought in mind, he sped toward the location of the strange fire.

Still, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why do the Great Emperors on the Heavenly Gold List share the same name as our family's elders?"

"Three powerful figures with the same name as members of the Xian family? Could it really just be a coincidence? Well, it has to be. There's no way our family's elders could suddenly ascend to become Great Emperors, right? That's ridiculous."

He shook his head, unwilling to believe the possibility. After all, even if Xian Yue were extremely talented, how could he be ranked first on the Heavenly Gold List?

Xian Zhan, who shared Xian Yan's skepticism, was engaged in battle. Glancing at the Heavenly Gold List, he frowned. "Strange, really strange. How can this be?"

He, too, refused to believe that the Xian Wu and Xian Feng on the Heavenly Gold List were members of the Xian family. It seemed too incredible to be true.
