Start with the fisherman

Daqian Capital, Xuanjing Division,

In the Ranking Department, the clerks worked hard to compile and organize information from all over the country, and then score the countless geniuses of Daqian from various dimensions. Finally, a ranking was formed, and this ranking was constantly adjusted based on the latest news and battle records.

At the same time, during the ranking process, they will also pay attention to some important information, organize it and report it to the commander-in-chief.

The Ranking Department can also be called the Intelligence Department!

Suddenly, a sharp whistle resounded through the sky, and a red light fell into the Ranking Department at lightning speed.

The clerks of the Xuan Jing Division in the cubicle all looked up.

They knew that this was the way to pass urgent intelligence within the Ranking Division.

There were three sharp screams, and it was obvious that something extraordinary had happened. The last time Ling Xiaoyu fought against a powerful person in the Dharmakaya realm with his Grandmaster cultivation, there was not such a scene.

I don’t know what big thing happened?
However, they quickly suppressed their doubts and continued to process the information in front of them. There were a lot of jade talismans floating in front of each of them.

In the side hall next to the Ranking Department's main hall, Commander Su Mengli was holding the scarlet jade talisman in his hand, lost in thought.

That little guy from Donghai County actually defeated Ling Xiaoyu? !
If this news did not come from a spy from the Ranking Department, he would probably scoff at it, but now, he had to believe it.

Ling Xiaoyu has already activated his Tao Seed. Since Cao Ze was able to defeat him, he must have also activated his Tao Seed. Then, the Phantom Soul Powder is probably just a joke.

As the commander of the Intelligence Department, he was well aware of the effectiveness of the Phantom Soul Powder.

Unfortunately, he was far away in the capital and could only obtain information through text. Otherwise, he would have discovered Cao Ze's tricks long ago by now.

This time, Donghai County is really going to produce an extraordinary guy!

Putting away the red jade talisman, Su Mengli walked out of the side hall and came to the main hall of the Ranking Department.

The middle-aged commander in brocade clothes had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw the scarlet jade talisman streaking through the sky, he knew that the commander-in-chief would definitely come.

"This issue of the Tianjiao Ranking has been delayed for a long time, and it's time to update it."

Su Mengli was very satisfied with the middle-aged man's vision. She nodded with satisfaction and threw the red jade talisman in her hand to the middle-aged man, "Put Cao Ze's name at the top of the list!"

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was a little dazed, and subconsciously read the message in the jade talisman. Then his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

But after a while, the middle-aged man in brocade clothes was still a little confused.

"Master Su, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but the Tianjiao Ranking is based on both strength and potential. Cao Ze has been poisoned by the Phantom Soul Powder and has no potential anymore. I'm afraid there's no need for him to be on the list, right?"

"I'll do it if you ask me to!"

The smile on Su Mengli's face faded, and she turned and left the hall with a cold face.

This little guy is a little clever, but ultimately his comprehension is too poor to be of great use.

Su Mengli gave her evaluation.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood there blankly, with a bitter face, almost crying.

The reason why he said this was because not long ago the leader did not agree to add Cao Ze to the list of geniuses.

How come the statement changed in the blink of an eye?

……

The moonlight was as bright as a mirror, sprinkling across the quiet courtyard, casting a silver glow that cast a layer of mysterious veil over this world.

Cao Ze was dressed in plain clothes, his figure as tall as a pine tree. He stood quietly in the center of the courtyard with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had merged into one with the vast stars and all living things.

Half a month has passed since he came out of the blood pool. In the blood pool, with the unlimited supply of that mysterious energy, his points had already reached the edge of the Dharmakaya realm.

The Tao seed is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and is not far from perfection.

After half a month of accumulation, the loving points are finally enough.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

"Ming Wang Shen, give me some more!"

His mind moved, and as he slowly breathed in and out, the space around him seemed to tremble slightly, and a faint fluctuation of Yuanli permeated the air.

Inside Cao Ze's body, streams of warm air rose from his dantian, traveled along the eight extraordinary meridians, and finally gathered at the lower dantian in the abdomen, then went all the way up, rushing straight to the brain and reaching the upper dantian.

There, a Tao seed emitting a faint fluorescent light was quietly suspended. It was the key for warriors to communicate with heaven and earth and activate the original power!

"Om-"

With a slight humming sound, the Tao Seed was activated and instantly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Cao Ze entirely.

The light was not dazzling, but contained an ancient and profound power. It penetrated the void and resonated with the original power between heaven and earth.

Cao Ze's mind moved, and with the help of the power of the Tao Seed, he began to guide the vast and boundless power of origin, like a stream flowing into a river or sea, continuously pouring into his body.

These original forces churned and merged in his body, and finally, under his will, condensed into an unprecedented powerful force.

"The Ming King has descended to the world, and his Dharma body has solidified!"

Cao Ze let out a low roar. Although his voice was light, it contained a momentum that could shake mountains and rivers.

As his words fell, a tremendous force burst out from his body and soared into the sky.

Behind him, an illusory figure about ten feet tall gradually condensed into shape. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the figure looked even more solemn and sacred. Its details revealed an aura that was detached from the mundane world and superior to all things.

The entire body of the Dharmakaya is composed of brilliant golden light. This light is not simply bright, but contains the pure energy of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the origin of all things.

In the golden color, there are faintly visible tiny runes flowing. These runes seem to be the oldest characters in the universe, recording the mysteries and laws between heaven and earth.

The head of the Dharmakaya is majestic and compassionate, with a dazzling gem inlaid on the forehead. It is a symbol of countless faiths and wishes, shining with the light of wisdom and power, and contains the terrifying original power.

Its eyes are like torches, deep and bright, as if it can see through the essence of all things in the world and look directly into the deepest secrets of human hearts.

Its arms are thick and powerful, with smooth and explosive muscle lines, as if containing terrifying power that can tear the void and shake the mountains. On its arms, golden lines are like dragons and snakes, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

In the palm of his left hand was a small tripod the size of a Dharmakāya's fist. The tripod had intricate patterns on it and five-colored light was flowing in it. It was exactly the same as the shadow of the Dan Ding Jue.

In his right hand, he held a long sword that was also shining with golden light, with faint flashes of lightning in it, as if it contained infinite power.

This is the prototype of the Dharmakaya of the Vajra King. Although it is in its initial stage of condensation and only reveals the form of a head and two arms, it is enough to make people feel the terrifying power it contains.

This Dharmakāya of the Mingwang had a dignified face and eyes as sharp as torches, as if it could see through all the falsehoods in the world. The muscles in his arms were knotted, containing explosive power, ready to destroy all obstacles at any time. Although it was only in its initial stage of condensation, the aura emanating from his body had already made the surrounding space tremble, as if even time had frozen.

Cao Ze stood before the Dharmakaya, feeling the power surging in his body, and an unprecedented ambition surged in his heart. He knew that this was just the beginning. As his understanding of the Tao deepened, the Dharmakaya of the Mingwang would gradually improve, and eventually show the supreme power of three heads and six arms to destroy the world.

Perhaps, he can really reproduce the style of the wise king of those days!

He finally entered the Dharmakaya realm!
The sky is big, the earth is big, and most places in this world will be at his disposal.

Yuwen family, Wang family...

It’s time to settle the accounts!

Feeling excited, the thunder in the hands of the Dharmakaya phantom behind him crackled, and Cao Ze wished he could test his current strength right now.

But he still endured it. After some time, when his cultivation had been consolidated, he would go to find Uncle An, or go out of the city to find a place to try!
Swap out the panel,

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Third-grade Dharmakaya

Vidyaraja Body: Dharmakaya Three Levels (6 million)
Dao Seed (Snowfall Blade, Strike the Sea, Wind Shadow Step, Sky-Flipping Seal, Thunderbolt): Great Accomplishment (84/8000 million)
Sea Covering Decision: Perfection
Love Points: 372 million]

Seeing the points needed for the Dharmakaya, Cao Ze took a breath. But seeing the words "Third Grade of the Dharmakaya", Cao Ze guessed that maybe the Dharmakaya didn't have the ninth level, but the ninth grade. The next time he added points, he should be able to upgrade it directly to the sixth grade, creating a second head and the third and fourth arms for the Dharmakaya.

The ninth level of Dharmakaya?
Cao Ze looked up at the sky. He was now increasingly looking forward to the state after the Dharma body.

Soon!

Soon!

So what if he has 6 million points? A drop of water can wear away a stone. After he is promoted to the Dharmakāya, he will have a lifespan of years. He will be able to obtain countless natural treasures. He can afford it!
……

"It is said that in that blood pool, Cao Ze, the Thunder Blade, split the road of life and death with one strike, knocked Ling Xiaoyu into the endless hell, and ascended to the flying fairy lotus platform..."

In the roadside teahouse, people were scattered around, some were fanning themselves, some were banging wooden sticks on the table, and the storyteller was vividly describing what had happened in the blood pool more than half a month ago.

Many people witnessed what happened that day. After half a month of fermentation, even these ordinary warriors had heard about it. Storytellers even made it into a story, attracting many tea drinkers.

For a time, the name Cao Ze, the Thunder Blade, became the most famous person in Donghai County.

Of course, the story becomes more and more mysterious as it is passed on, with all kinds of stories such as the road of life and death and the endless hell coming out.

This naturally caused the real strong ones to sneer at him.

"The Sword-Flying Immortal Ling Xiaoyu once escaped from the hands of a Dharmakaya realm master. Could it be that the Thunder Blade is even stronger than the Dharmakaya realm master?"

A young man in a yellow robe interrupted the storyteller and questioned.

The storyteller smiled but did not argue with them. These tea drinkers were his bread and butter, so it was normal for them to have different opinions. It was a bit of a loss for the author to insult the readers.

But some readers were not willing to tolerate this questioning youth. "So many seniors present saw it. Could it be that all those top Grandmasters were lying?"

"The blood pool has been closed for more than half a month, why hasn't anyone come out to refute it?"

"If you can't do it yourself, you think others can't do it either?"

A deadly triple combo, every move is deadly.

"you you you……"

The young man in yellow robe was speechless for a long time, which caused a burst of laughter in the hall.

After all, this is Donghai County, Cao Ze’s home town, and he has many fans here.

"If what you said is true, then why is there no name of the Thunder Blade on the Tianjiao Ranking?"

But the young man in yellow robe who chose to play away was no pushover either, and he brought out his trump card?

"you……"

This time, it was the young man who had refuted that was speechless.

The yellow-robed young man smiled smugly.

Everybody was praising the Thunder Blade, but he was the only one who questioned it and found the problem. This showed that he was thinking independently and he was different from those ordinary people who just followed the crowd.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"The Tianjiao Ranking has been updated!"

"The Tianjiao Ranking has been updated!"

At this moment, there was a shouting coming from the street outside the hall. A child, not even as tall as the wheels of a wheel, was running and shouting on the street with a huge cloth bag on his shoulder. In the bag were volumes of papers printed with words. There was no doubt that this was the Tianjiao List.

"Kid, give me a list of the top talents."

Speaking of the Tianjiao List, the Tianjiao List arrived. A tea drinker came to the door of the teahouse, leaned against the door frame and waved to the child.

The child's eyes lit up when he heard that. He trotted all the way to the entrance of the teahouse, took out a pamphlet from the large cloth bag in his arms, handed it to the customer breathlessly, and said, "Sir, two cents of silver, thank you."

After paying the silver, the tea drinker took the list and walked into the hall, while the child happily took the silver and continued to jog and shout along the street.

The tea drinker walked into the hall, only to find that everyone's eyes were on him. Then he remembered that everyone seemed to be arguing about the Tianjiao List just now.

Those who can listen to storytelling here are not ordinary people. The tea drinker was not flustered by the public gaze. He returned to his seat and even took a sip of tea before unfolding the list.

Then, he widened his eyes and remained silent for a long time, but his expression told everyone that he was reading the description carefully.

This reaction made everyone feel itchy. Some impatient ones couldn't help but stretch their heads to look over here, looking through the tea drinker's shoulder at the booklet in his hand.

What caught his eye was none other than "Thunder Blade Cao Ze"!
Top of the list of geniuses!
The list of geniuses has indeed been updated!

The tea drinkers who saw the contents of the Tianjiao Ranking also widened their eyes and continued to look down. Ling Xiaoyu, the Flying Fairy with a Sword, had already come to the second place.

No one doubted Xuan Jingsi's ranking. Since the launch of the Tianjiao list, unless someone deliberately concealed their strength and had no battle record, Xuan Jingsi's ranking was always correct.

Cao Ze's detailed information also recorded his battle record. He defeated Chu Feng, who was ranked ninth on the Tianjiao list, in Donghai County. Three months later, he defeated Ling Xiaoyu, who was ranked first on the Tianjiao list, in the Blood Pond.

There were only a few strokes, but they undoubtedly told everyone that Xuan Jingsi acknowledged Cao Ze's record. Ling Xiaoyu was really defeated by Cao Ze!

The top warriors had already known this news, but to these ordinary warriors, it was undoubtedly a shocking secret and the best topic of conversation after dinner.

People like Ling Xiaoyu can be said to be the top figures in the martial arts circle. Just some of the groundless rumors about him have supported countless storytellers.

This is also the biggest source of sales for the Tianjiao List. Every year, the Tianjiao List alone can create a considerable fortune for Xuan Jingsi.

At this moment, a tea drinker suddenly reacted, immediately stood up and looked at the street, and saw that the child selling the Tianjiao List had run to the end of the street. He quickly used his skills to chase after him.

The others were not fools either. Some walked, ran, or flew out, some went through the doors, some went through the windows, and some were even impatient and broke through the wall directly. In a short period of time, most of the teahouse was empty.

Not only them, but the tea drinkers in other teahouses also had almost the same reaction. The kid who was selling the Tianjiao List was immediately surrounded by the crowd.

However, there are so many tea drinkers on this street, but the list of geniuses brought by the kid is limited. In order to fight for a copy of the list, many people even fought.

For a time, many streets in Donghai County were in chaos.

Thunder Blade Cao Ze!

This is the martial arts genius who came out of their Donghai County!

In the teahouse, only the young man in yellow robe and the storyteller were left. The storyteller looked at the young man in yellow robe with a smile on his face.

Those who can become storytellers naturally have their own information channels, and they make a living from this.

The young man in the yellow robe looked embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while, he walked out of the teahouse in embarrassment.

"It seems that the information from the Xuanjing Division is not so accurate!"

On the third floor of the teahouse, in a private room, a young man was sitting by the window, his lips curled slightly, "I heard that Ling Xiaoyu had already forged a Dharma body three days ago!"

"The Tianjiao Ranking was finalized ten days ago, but it was only released today."

The middle-aged man opposite him spoke.

"As expected of Song Qingshan!

It was so unexpected that Ling Xiaoyu was able to reshape his sword heart and condense his Dharma body so quickly.

This kind of foundation is not something that the little guy from this remote countryside can compare to. I'm afraid the gap between them will become bigger and bigger in the future.

"A moment of pleasure is nothing, do you understand?"

"I know, I know……"

The young man answered impatiently. (End of this chapter)
