Roaring Tiger Lu Bu, Mid-Quasi-Sage!

"Valley Master, may I come in?"

"What is it?"

"There is something I wanted to ask. If you are busy, then pretend I never said anything."

"Come in."

Having received Qin Xi's permission, Ao Xin gently pushed open the door.

Qin Xi sat upright on the wooden bed, his eyes closed as though he were pondering something.

She returned Primordial World: Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the bookshelf. In her hand, she held only the golden scroll from its final page—Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods, which had inherited the fortune of the Cao Wei Dragon Soul.

Her intuition told her that this ancient scroll was no ordinary object either.

"Valley Master, this golden scroll..."

"It is a ranking chart I drew when I was bored. It is divided into the General Ranking List, Civil Official Ranking List, Beauty Ranking List, Extraordinary Person Ranking List, and Monarch Ranking List."

"I see."

In Primordial World: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, everyone had their own way of judging others.

The rankings of generals, strategists, beauties, extraordinary people, and rulers naturally varied greatly. The Valley Master surely had not drawn this golden scroll simply because he had nothing better to do; there had to be some deeper meaning behind it.

Just as he had suddenly pointed out today that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had been plotted against.

"But aside from those five words, I cannot see anything else on it."

"Look with your heart."

"With my heart?"

Ao Xin blanked out for a moment before quickly recovering.

Remembering the fortune of the Cao Wei Dragon Soul she had just inherited, she calmed herself and directed the purple dragon aura toward her eyes. When she looked at the Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods again, what she saw was completely different.

General Ranking List—

First: Roaring Tiger Lu Bu, Mid-Quasi-Sage.

Second: Dragon-Courage Zhao Yun, Early Quasi-Sage.

Third: Evil-Come Dian Wei, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Fourth: Martial Saint Guan Yu, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Fifth: Cavalry God Ma Chao, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Sixth: Battle God Zhang Fei, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Seventh: Archery God Huang Zhong, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Eighth: Tiger Fool Xu Chu, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Ninth: Little Overlord Sun Ce, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Tenth: Heavenly Righteousness Taishi Ci, Late Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Though she did not want to admit it, Shu Han, which had inherited the Qilin Soul, indeed held a considerable advantage in terms of top-tier generals.

It occupied five places in the top ten outright.

Cao Wei had only two spots, Xu Chu and Dian Wei. Both were Peak Great Luo Golden Immortals. Moreover, because they followed a strength-based path, fought in a manner similar to the Wu Clan, and possessed Dragon Clan physiques, they could suppress opponents of the same realm.

Unless a Quasi-Sage personally intervened, their strength was practically invincible within the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

More than that, when the two generals gathered together, they could trigger a special bond—Perfect Match. Like the Oath of the Peach Garden shared by Liu-Guan-Zhang, it allowed their combat power to surge explosively for a short period.

"This ranking..."

"In truth, it can only be considered my subjective ranking." Qin Xi rubbed his brow and said, "Within the Romance, aside from Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, who are undisputed powerhouses, the other top fierce generals are all roughly equal in strength."

Quasi-Sage and Great Luo Golden Immortal were separated by an enormous gulf.

But among Peak Great Luo Golden Immortals, in a one-on-one battle, who would win and who would lose was truly unknown.

After all, most generals were battle-crazed maniacs.

Like the Wu Clan, they did not care about their lives once they began fighting.

Every move was a fight to the death. No one could say who would survive to the end.

"I have already figured out the hint behind Three Families Return to Jin."

"This matter is of great importance. Xin must return to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible to report it to my father."

"I ask the Valley Master to permit it."

"..."

Ao Xin looked somewhat uneasy.

The Valley Master had revealed heavenly secrets to her. Would he simply confine her here and refuse to let her return to the Dragon Palace?

Perhaps he would not release her until this Tribulation had ended.

After all, heavenly secrets must not be revealed!

But by the time the Tribulation ended, the Dragon Clan would likely have already been plotted to death, completely declining into a state where anyone could bully them. Even Ancestor Dragon, the Lord of Cao Wei, would ultimately be stabbed in the back by someone.

"You were only staying here temporarily to begin with."

"Whether you wish to leave or stay, I will not interfere."

"However, do not go spreading word of this place after returning to the Dragon Clan. Do you understand?"

"..."

Qin Xi did not care in the slightest about revealing heavenly secrets.

The overall situation had already been decided and could no longer be changed. Besides, with the Heavenly Dao Dojo protecting him, so what if he revealed them? Could Devil Ancestor Luohou really come knocking and chop him down?

The only thing he needed to watch out for was people going around publicizing the Heavenly Dao Dojo.

The Dragon Clan had plenty of treasures, but very few top-tier items. If they came bothering him all day long, that would be a real headache.

"I understand."

Ao Xin nodded and left the Small Wooden House.

Then, she transformed into a little golden dragon and flew toward the Dragon Palace.

The instant she left the Heavenly Dao Dojo, the Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods also burst forth with golden radiance. The divine souls contained within seemed as though they were about to awaken...
