Martial Arts: Signing in for sixty years, I, the leader of the Azure Dragon Society
Author: Mingxi L
Synopsis: Ximen Yu transmigrates to various martial arts worlds, quietly signing in for sixty years, and eventually founding the mysterious Azure Dragon Society! When the martial arts world discovers that "wherever there are people, there is the Azure Dragon Society," this sign-in maniac can no longer hide his true colors.
Chapter 1: War
Across the vast land of China, heroes rise up in great numbers.
After eight hundred years of trials and tribulations, the Great Zhou Dynasty finally disintegrated.
The world was engulfed in a century of war, with flames of conflict rising everywhere.
Until recently, the situation has gradually stabilized.
On the continent, eight great dynasties stand in a tripartite balance, with small kingdoms scattered throughout.
Those who like to meddle in the matter have named the eight dynasties according to their relative strength: Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing.
A martial spirit prevailed, and sects and gangs sprang up like stars.
Countless people have become famous throughout the world.
There is the Lord of Baiyun City, whose sword strikes are breathtaking; there is Dugu Qiubai, who defeated all the masters under heaven; and there is Zhang Sanfeng, the Tai Chi master who founded his own school.
This is a glorious era, yet also a chaotic one!
............
At the summit of a towering peak, Qinglong Mountain Villa stands majestically.
The villa is not adorned with luxury, but rather exudes a rustic and dignified atmosphere with an extraordinary presence.
In the back garden, a young man in a black robe brewed tea.
His eyebrows and eyes were sharp as swords, and his temperament was otherworldly.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would surely exclaim: "Elegant pursuits in the mountains—brewing wine with pine pollen, brewing tea—this gentleman is truly peerless."
Unfortunately, no one gets to appreciate this sight.
The young man paused slightly in the hand that was raising his glass.
He looked up at the sky, a playful smile playing on his lips.
Is chaos about to descend?
Ximen Yu chuckled and looked away.
This marks his sixtieth year in this world.
Sixty years ago, an accident transported him to this place, where he also awakened a god-level sign-in system.
Sign in daily to receive divine weapons, secret manuals, elixirs, and other treasures.
Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the course of these long years, he consumed countless elixirs and mastered numerous unparalleled skills, and wielded many divine weapons.
He couldn't even gauge his own strength—because very few people could force him to use a second move.
For sixty years, he has witnessed the flames of war between nations and the rise and fall of countless gangs.
Having been a ruler in his previous life, he deeply understood the importance of power. With the help of the system and access to endless resources, he naturally cultivated his own strength in secret.
However, this force remains largely unknown to this day.
It is worth mentioning that the Azure Dragon Society he founded was completely different from ordinary gangs.
Apart from the seven dragon heads at the head, there are twelve halls below, corresponding to the twelve months of the year. Every three halls form a season, symbolizing spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Below the twelve halls, there are 365 branch headquarters, which correspond to the 365 days of the year.
There is an ironclad rule within the Green Dragon Society: those who serve the Green Dragon Society will either succeed or die!
A deafening roar came from the highest heavens, instantly spreading throughout the land.
The world was shocked and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, the once clear sky burst forth with a dazzling golden light, so bright that even the blazing sun paled in comparison.
As the golden light faded, a golden scroll stretching across the sky suddenly appeared on the canvas.
All who witnessed this scene felt a majestic yet chilling voice resonate in their minds—
"The Golden List of Heavenly Dao!"
The entire land was in an uproar, and all were shaken. Some astute individuals, in particular, wore solemn expressions and fell into deep thought…
The Qin Dynasty, the Xianyang Palace Tower.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the golden list of heavenly deities, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Strange celestial phenomena have appeared; the political landscape of the Nine Provinces is likely about to undergo a major change..."
Despite his doubts, his expression remained calm and composed.
Behind him, Zhao Gao bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, should we send the Luo Wang (a secret police force) to investigate?"
"Summon Donghuang Taiyi." Ying Zheng suddenly interrupted the servant, the candlelight on the desk casting varying shadows on his brow. "Summon the Imperial Preceptor as well."
As the attendant left the palace, he saw the emperor stroking the jade pendant with dragon patterns on it, which was part of the Tai'a sword at his waist.
......
Liu Xie buried his face in the folds of his robe embroidered with twelve imperial symbols. When he looked up again, his eyes were still red, but the corners of his mouth curved into a smile characteristic of youth: "If this golden list is..."
"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Dong has sent someone with an ice chest!"
The young emperor instantly straightened his back, grabbed the memorial, and pretended to review it. The trembling vermilion brush spread crimson ink blots on the bamboo slips.
......
The dragon pillars of the Dragon Guardian Manor reflected Zhu Wushi's ever-changing expression. He suddenly sneered, shattering the calming incense burning three inches away.
"My Lord! His Majesty urgently summons you!"
At this moment, from the summit of Kunlun Mountain to the shores of the East China Sea, all the observatories lit up simultaneously. As the golden inscription began to flow with gilded characters, the morning bell of Shaolin Temple and the evening drum of Wudang Mountain eerily resounded at the same time.
Gazing at the emerging words, I suddenly understood their meaning.
[Peak Battle Power Ranking of Kyushu]
[Throughout the Nine Provinces, countless heroes and geniuses have emerged. This list only ranks the top twenty strongest individuals in the world. All those who make it onto the list will receive blessings from Heaven!]
The rankings change every six months; the higher the ranking, the greater the reward!
"Heaven bestows blessings? That's interesting, but I wonder if it contains the elixir of immortality that I seek."
In the Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty.
A glint of light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes as he spoke calmly in a low voice.
The officials in the hall, however, knew perfectly well what was going on.
If the heavenly reward truly contains the elixir of immortality.
Given the nature of an emperor, he would surely seize it by sacrificing everything in his power!
"Your Majesty is blessed! If such an elixir exists, this old minister would gladly give his life to retrieve it for Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao quickly bowed his head and loudly swore an oath.
The remaining officials secretly scoffed at the flattery, but verbally echoed it.
"Gentlemen, how many people do you think are worthy of being included on this list in my Great Qin?"
Glancing at the expressions on everyone's faces,
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve and chuckled.
It remains unclear how much sincerity was behind his words.
Upon hearing this, the ministers were stunned, and then pondered deeply.
Although the Qin Dynasty was the first of the eight great dynasties,
However, in the battle of martial arts, there are countless strong individuals.
Moreover, those with profound cultivation have long lifespans.
The number of reclusive monsters hidden in the Nine Provinces remains unknown.
Therefore, no one dared to draw any conclusions rashly.
"Your humble servant dares to speculate that Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School, Beimingzi of the Daoist School, and Xunzi of the Confucian School should be on the list."
Zhao Gao pondered for a moment and then cautiously reported the matter to the emperor.
As the head of the Net,
Although I do not know the exact level of understanding of these people,
Yet he knew the ins and outs better than his colleagues in the palace.
Therefore, after careful consideration, I have only mentioned these three renowned masters of the Qin Dynasty.
As for the rest, I dare not speak presumptuously.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, withdrew his gaze from the sky and sighed sadly.
Although it has the name "Fu Song",
In terms of national strength, it was ultimately the last of the eight great dynasties.
Secretly, the Song Dynasty was also jokingly referred to as a weak dynasty.
Due to the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military affairs,
When the Heavenly Path Golden List was announced this time,
It's likely that only a handful of people from the Song Dynasty could make the list.
Although he didn't know what the specific Heavenly Rewards were,
However, judging from the previously observed unusual celestial phenomena,
This reward is sure to be extraordinary!
Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty could not gain much benefit.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel saddened.
.........
Within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, on Mount Wudang.
When Song Yuanqiao saw the contents of the Heavenly Path Golden List,
I couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Peak combat power rankings! It seems my Wudang sect can also receive the favor of Heaven!"
"I just wonder where Master ranks?"
Besides Zhang Wuxia, whose whereabouts are unknown,
Even Yu Daiyan, who was paralyzed, was extremely excited.
Mo Shenggu replied without hesitation:
"With Master's cultivation level, he is undoubtedly at the top!"
Several other people agreed.
Surrounded by the crowd, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head:
"You guys are ultimately too narrow-minded."
"Leaving aside whether there are still reclusive masters in the Nine Provinces,"
"To my knowledge alone, there are those whose cultivation is comparable to mine."
"There are at least five or six of them."
