Chapter 357 - True Dragon List

The True Dragon List is a very famous list in the Tian Nan Domain.

It ranks contenders based on their positions in the True Dragon Conference, and it can be said that making it onto the True Dragon List is the aspiration of every Martial Artist.

Because this represents not only strength but also honor.

You should know, there are so many Martial Artists in the Tian Nan Domain, and there are plenty of Genius Martial Artists, but only seventy-two can make it onto the list.

Anyone who gets onto the True Dragon List is a genius among geniuses!

“What are the restrictions for participating in the True Dragon Conference?” Lin Xuan asked.

“The most basic restrictions are that one must not be over forty years old, and Cultivation must be above the Spirit Merging Realm,” Old Man Di Que said.

“But even if you meet these two conditions, you might not necessarily be able to participate.”

“The number of participants in the True Dragon Conference is fixed—only seven hundred and twenty.

In the entire Tian Nan Domain, this number of slots is simply not enough.”

“Take Heavenly Mountain Country for example, it only has three slots, and the competition for them is always incredibly fierce.”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath; it seems the True Dragon Conference is even stricter than imagined; the mighty Heavenly Mountain Country actually only has three slots.

You should know that in Heavenly Mountain Country alone, there are no less than ten Three-star Sects, and the geniuses within are countless.

Besides that, there are the royal family and some super families; so many people are competing just for three slots, and the intensity can be imagined.

“Does that mean I don’t even have a chance to sign up?” Lin Xuan furrowed his brow.

“Don’t worry, Lin Xuan, there’s still more than a year before the True Dragon Conference begins, and I think that’s enough time for you to make a breakthrough.”

“As for the slots, I could introduce you to someone; whether you can seize the opportunity will depend on yourself,” Old Man Di Que slowly said.

“Really?” Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered.

As long as there was the slightest chance, he would not give up.

“I have two options for you, one is to compete for a slot in Heavenly Mountain Country.

Although there are only three slots, it’s not impossible to try.”

“However, the only downside is that you have enemies across many sects, and they might resort to underhanded tactics during the competition.”

Lin Xuan nodded; he had offended many forces in Heavenly Mountain Country, which might not be an issue ordinarily, but for crucial slots like those of the True Dragon Conference, it’s hard to ensure those old bastards won’t have murderous intent.

For safety’s sake, he could not stay in Heavenly Mountain Country.

Seeing Lin Xuan shake his head, Old Man Di Que continued: “I will write you a letter.

Take it to the Dragon Star Strong Country and find a man named Jiang Sanfeng.”

“If he is still alive, he might be able to help you.”

“Jiang Sanfeng?

Dragon Star Strong Country?” Lin Xuan felt overwhelmed; this was too vague.

“Can’t you be more specific?” he asked.

To be honest, I don’t know the specifics, but with his notoriety, you shouldn’t have trouble finding him,” Old Man Di Que shook his head.

“The Dragon Star Strong Country has far more slots than Heavenly Mountain Country, but you should be prepared that the level of Martial Artists there is much higher than in Heavenly Mountain Country.”

Lin Xuan pondered and finally decided to take a look at Dragon Star Strong Country.

“This is the letter, this is the Token,” Old Man Di Que handed to Lin Xuan.

“One year!”

Lin Xuan clenched his fist; as long as he acquired the True Dragon Qi, he would be able to seek the Great Dragon Sword!

“I plan to leave now,” Lin Xuan said.

“Okay, but just to be safe, I can escort you within Heavenly Mountain Country.”

“With Dan King Hall so busy, you surely cannot leave.

I’d better go on my own,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“In that case, I will send a strong protector to covertly ensure your safety, but he can only escort you to the border of Heavenly Mountain Country.”

“Okay.”

Lin Xuan nodded; he was not a person to dawdle, and he had a feeling that Elder Hei Xin wouldn’t just let things go.

That very afternoon, Lin Xuan left Dan King Hall.

He did not alarm many people; in the entire Dan King Hall, only Old Man Di Que knew of his departure.

However, as soon as he left, a shadow turned into black fog and quickly headed towards the Medicine Emperor Institute.

“Elder Hei Xin, the boy has left,” a fully black-clad Martial Artist said.

“With whom?”

“Alone.”

“Hmph, it looks like he wants to leave the Heavenly Mountain Country!” Elder Hei Xin sneered.

“I understand, you may go.”

After that person left, Elder Hei Xin transformed into a wisp of black smoke and swiftly left Wind Moon City.

In the wilderness, a colossal golden frog leaped, upon which sat a handsome blue-robed young man and a snow-white monkey.

This young man was none other than Lin Xuan.

He had already left Wind Moon City and was now heading towards the direction of the Dragon Star Strong Country.

On his journey, he did not idle but kept on cultivating.

During the Pill King competition, his cultivation did not lag, and now the qi cyclone within him had mostly formed, and he was soon to break through to the Spirit Merging Realm.

Only by reaching the Spirit Merging Realm would he be qualified to participate in the True Dragon Conference.

At night, the Silver Moon hung high, casting a clear radiance.

With his extraordinary Pupil Skill, Lin Xuan could always avoid danger in advance.

During this time, he avoided several Sixth Rank Demon Beasts.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, several strange birds swooped down from the sky, each over two meters long, with feathers like metal, exuding a harsh cold aura.

Their sharp claws, like iron tongs, burst the air itself.

Such might would be difficult to withstand for martial artists below the Spirit Merging Realm.

Yet, Lin Xuan still did not open his eyes.

Croak!

Croak!

The golden frog croaked twice and suddenly opened its mouth, its crimson tongue whipping through the air like a long whip, leaving behind afterimages.

Buzz!

In an instant, it bound one of the strange birds and swiftly reeled it back.

Gulp!

The tongue possessed strong corrosiveness, melting the metallic-like feathers.

The strange bird flapped its wings, desperately resisting, but to no effect.

In the end, the golden frog swallowed it in one bite.

This scene scared off the remaining strange birds in the sky.

Chirp chirp

The snow-white monkey patted Little Gold and nodded slightly.

Croak!

Croak!

Pleased with itself, Little Gold croaked twice more, hastening its pace.

Such episodes occurred frequently on the road; Lin Xuan didn’t need to lift a finger.

After a peaceful night, as the sun rose, Lin Xuan’s body was shrouded in a layer of radiance, quickly absorbing the scarce Purple Energy in the air.

Only when the sun completely rose did he open his eyes.

“Eh, a city ahead?

Just in time for some supplies,” Lin Xuan said as he patted Little Gold, who then headed towards the town.

In his hurried departure from Wind Moon City earlier, he had not prepared much, and the city ahead would solve his dilemma.

As he approached the town, he put away Little Gold and walked in with the snow-white monkey.

This trip, his main purpose was to purchase some medicinal materials and food, as well as water, clothes, and other necessities.

Since he had a long journey ahead, he bought plenty.

After Lin Xuan left, two Black Robed Men appeared in a corner, conversing in low voices.

“The white monkey, the blue-robed young man, target confirmed, report it quickly.”

“I’ll keep an eye on him.” The two split up to act.

These two acted very covertly and used special methods to evade Soul Detection.

Since Lin Xuan did not search intentionally, he did not notice this situation.

Under the tables and chairs on both sides of the street, a pair of even more secretive dark green eyes were now fiercely fixed on Lin Xuan.
