The Human Ranking Descends, Human Dao Fortune!

Chapter 347: Seizing Power Starting from the Book of Changes

On the Coming Dragon River.

The final punch landed squarely on Emperor Tianshun's head, shattering his majestic imperial figure and revealing a blood-red body beneath, its face contorted and blood flowing from its seven orifices—it was Shen Jie, who should have escaped.

After recalling the events in his mind, Yu Tunzhou roughly guessed the person's identity.

Has the Blood River Dao joined forces with the royal family and the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan?

Before he could think it through...

Suddenly, from this broken body, a wisp of golden energy, exuding a vast and majestic aura, began to emanate.

As thin as a spider's thread, yet as heavy as if it bore the weight of the entire Central Plains.

Human Dao Fortune!

Having already absorbed a great deal of Martial Fortune and Water Fortune Profound Qi, Yu Tunzhou recognized the true nature of this object at a glance.

And considering Emperor Tianshun, its origins are self-evident!

After leaving the body, this wisp of energy flowed gently in the air for a moment before solidifying and contracting, seemingly about to vanish into the Void.

Yu Tunzhou's pupils contracted, and after realizing what was happening, he quickly made a move, his sleeves suddenly flicking upwards.

Universe in the Sleeve!

The chaotic energy surged, and a world unfolded within the sleeve, fiercely swallowing that Human Dao Fortune.

"Stop!"

Jiang Linfan shouted sharply, disregarding his own safety, and rushed forward to block Yu Tunzhou's attack.

"You are indeed loyal."

Yu Tunzhou calmly, casually punching the already injured Jiang Linfan back, and then used Universe in the Sleeve inner power to Human Dao Fortune.

However, the next moment...

Yu Tunzhou's gaze sharpened.

He covered it with his Universe in the Sleeve, but that Human Dao Fortune still flowed in the Void, no matter how much his Divine Ability devoured it, he couldn't touch it at all.

Yu Tunzhou frowned and made another move. Black and white energies surged in the area beneath his feet as he attempted to use the Qi of Dao and Virtue to encompass and refine the Human Dao Fortune.

But that golden aura was like a swimming fish, freely darting between heaven and earth, and with a gentle sway, it broke free from all constraints.

The Yu Tunzhou, employing every technique imaginable: Fist Intent, Dharma Domain, Qi of Dao and Virtue, and the Vajra Bracelet.

Yet none of them could retain this wisp of fortune!

"Hahaha! Yu Tunzhou, this is the Human Dao Fortune left behind by the Human Emperor, the foundation upon which the entire Central Plains Human Race stands, something your Daoist School cannot covet!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Linfan burst into laughter, his expression a mix of ferocity and arrogance.

Human Emperor ----?

Just as that wisp of golden energy was about to disappear into the Void and vanish completely, Yu Tunzhou suddenly realized the key!

A Cultivation Method flashed through his mind like lightning.

[Spark Instruction]!

Although this is only an introductory Cultivation Method for the Qi Ingestion Realm ----

But it was through this Qi Ingestion Method that he absorbed Martial Fortune and refined the Water Fortune Profound Qi!

Most importantly, this was also left behind by the Human Emperor!

Jiang Linfan's words awakened Yu Tunzhou. Seeing that the Human Dao Fortune was about to slip away, he no longer hesitated and activated the Spark Instruction.

Boom!

A deep humming sound rang out.

A gigantic, illusory millstone emerged from behind Yu Tunzhou, ancient and vast, like a miniature world at work.

In an instant, the air currents roared, and the Heaven and Earth Clear Qi within a radius of several miles rushed in like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!

The Water Fortune Profound Qi within the Coming Dragon River was also swept up and swirled upwards, transforming into visible white streaks that flowed into the millstone.

The most striking feature was the wisp of golden fortune that was about to vanish into the Void!

As if gently pulled by some familiar force, it paused in place, seemingly trying to identify the source of the force. Its surface shimmered with golden light, as if making a final struggle.

Jiang Linfan's laughter abruptly stopped. He stared at the scene in disbelief and exclaimed in shock, "Impossible!"

"You are not of royal blood, nor do Human Dao rank or official position. What gives you the right to influence the Human Dao Fortune?!"

Yu Tunzhou was completely focused, using the Spark Instruction to influence the Human Dao Fortune.

He could sense that the wisp of fortune had hesitated and paused, but the pull from afar was too strong, making it impossible for it to break free.

At this critical moment, Yu Tunzhou sensed the presence of another object.

Right on the riverbank!

Almost instantly, Yu Tunzhou sensed what this thing was.

The Human Emperor's Three Rankings!

The method of controlling the Three Rankings he obtained from Floating Hill Mountain appeared in his mind. With a thought, a scroll of lists shot out from between Mo Shougui's eyebrows, hovering above Yu Tunzhou's head, unfurling in the wind and spreading across the sky and earth.

The list lists thousands of names, most of which have faded into obscurity, but one stands out brightly, shining like Yu Tunzhou!

This is the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and also the Human Ranking among Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The list above contains information on all those who made the list throughout history.

After it spread out horizontally, the Human Dao Fortune finally stopped struggling and, in an instant, like a fledgling swallow returning to the forest, darted into the list.

This moment.

Heaven and earth were utterly silent.

Dozens of miles away, Tantai Yinghu stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

Human Dao Fortune ----

It was intercepted?!

Even the various Dharma Aspect and Immortals and Gods throughout history have never been able to intercept the Human Dao Fortune!

Even a Dao Lord might not dare to intercept the Human Dao Fortune burdens!

This is the fundamental principle by which dynasties have always been superior to all other sects in the world; it is the "rule" left behind by the Human Emperor!

But at this moment, on the Coming Dragon River, the water surged, and endless Water Fortune Profound Qi flowed into that magnificent millstone. Even the Human Dao Fortune stopped beneath the millstone. Tantai Yinghu gazed intently at this "millstone of heaven and earth".

He felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, yet he couldn't recall or understand what it was that could intercept the Human Dao Fortune left behind by the Human Emperor.

This is a divine object that should only be interfered with and controlled by the ruler of the Central Plains!

After Emperor Tianshun's projection was destroyed, Xiao Rong, utterly despairing, looked up at the scene before him, frozen in place as if struck by lightning. Today's events had already far exceeded his expectations, but this scene before him—

"That's... that's... the Spark Instruction..."

"Qi Ingestion Method - Spark Instruction -"

Even though this millstone of heaven and earth was unusually large, far exceeding his comprehension, he still recognized the Cultivation Method.

Because one of the foundations of the martial arts traditions of the Eastern Wilderness and Northern Plains is the [Spark Instruction], and he had recently studied whether there were any hidden secrets or mysteries within it!

This Qi Ingestion Method, which had long been considered by all parties to be outdated by more than one era, unexpectedly intercepted the Human Dao Fortune left behind by the Human Emperor.

The Cultivation Method left behind by the Human Emperor intercepted the Human Emperor Human Dao Fortune he left behind.

That feeling of being both unexpected and perfectly natural made Xiao Rong tremble all over, and she felt a chill penetrate to her very bones.

Just how much prior planning did the Daode Lineage actually make against the Great Yuan?

Countless images flashed through his mind.

From the Eastern Wilderness to the Northern Plains, he spread his martial arts across the land, refining his Qi of Dao and Virtue along the way.

The Yu Tunzhou also uses Qi of Dao and Virtue to suppress the Human Dao Fortune.

Now, they are using the Spark Instruction to intercept the Human Dao Fortune ----

One move leads to another, one piece leads to another, like a long river with no end in sight. Before each wave crashes down, a foreshadowing has already been laid.

But when exactly were the pieces placed in this game?

Was Yu Tunzhou merely a chance occurrence by the Daode Lineage, or, as some speculate, was his true identity as a reincarnation of a powerful figure from the Daode Lineage, with everything "predestined" long before his reincarnation?

Is this the true strength of the Three Pure Ones Lineage?

Xiao Rong suddenly shuddered.

If Mo Shougui's death today is "predestined" in His Majesty's eyes...

So, Your Majesty, faced with the "destiny" of the Three Pure Ones—

And what is it?

He trembled all over, as if he had guessed the whole truth, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Jixia Academy — Xiao Household —You've both gone to the wrong place!

Yu Tunzhou stood beneath the millstone of heaven and earth, his green robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

His mind was already absorbed in the Human Ranking.

Although he left behind the Human Dao Fortune using the Spark Instruction, how to store it became another problem.

Although he had already obtained it, Huntian strongly advised against him attempting to refine this wisp of fortune.

The Human Dao Fortune are far too heavy!

Staying on the Human Ranking for now seems to be the best option.

At this moment, the Human Ranking hangs above his head, and a torrent of fortune descends. The favor of heaven and earth, which had been scattered not long ago, also sweeps back at this moment, and is even greater than before!

With a thought, he collected the entire list and stored it in his Dantian.

At the same time, the fragment that resembled the Human Emperor Seal trembled slightly, seemingly resonating with the Three Rankings in some way.

Yu Tunzhou ignored it for the time being, and turned his gaze to Jiang Linfan, who had been laughing heartily not long ago.

"Why did you stop laughing? Is it because Buxi, or because it wasn't funny?"

The latter's expression changed drastically, and he tried to flee, but it was too late.

"Still want to leave?"

Yu Tunzhou smiled enigmatically, reaching out to grab, the suction force of the Universe in the Sleeve, overwhelming everything. "You're so loyal, yet you didn't seize the opportunity to leave earlier. Why are you in such a hurry to go now?"

"Stay."

With a rustling of his sleeves, Jiang Linfan let out a muffled groan as he was forcibly pulled into the robes.

Yu Tunzhou withdrew his Divine Ability and looked up towards the direction of the Divine Capital.

It would be too wasteful to kill the Jiang Household members like this.

It's a good opportunity to give it to Senior Jiang Wenxuan so he can use it as a bargaining chip to make an exchange with the Jiang Household.

And this battle----

This is just the beginning.

With a flick of his sleeve, he swept everyone remaining in the arena into his Divine Ability realm, including Mo Shougui.

Hundreds of miles away, a terrifying aura was approaching at an alarming speed.

Immortals and Gods? Dharma Aspect?

Yu Tunzhou chuckled. Today's gains had far exceeded his expectations, so there was no need to stay and confront them head-on.

If he doesn't return soon, that Great Yuan envoy will think that he, Yu, has broken his promise.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly threw a punch, stirring up the wind and clouds, completely disrupting the laws and energy of the surrounding world, leaving no trace, and then turned and flew north.

Shortly after the Yu Tunzhou withdrew.

A figure that seemed to command the entire world appeared here.

Wearing straw sandals and coarse linen clothes, looking unkempt and disheveled, he was none other than Old Gang Leader Su of the Heaven Ranking and one of the world's Dharma Aspect.

His gaze swept over the devastated battlefield, his expression grave.

"Who exactly took Little Mo away and shattered Emperor Tianshun's aura?"

He murmured to himself, his expression full of regret. If he hadn't been held back by that person from the Tantai Household, he should have been able to arrive earlier.

He carefully examined the scene, trying to find clues and follow the trail, but the person had completely destroyed it before leaving.

Not only was there no vital energy, but there was also no trace of legal principles left, leaving him no way to track him down.

Today's events----

It was both expected and unexpected.

That emperor's strength recovered faster than everyone expected, and his control over fate had surpassed the level of ordinary Immortals and Gods.

However, it seems that a third party has entered the fray.

If it weren't for this person, Little Mo would be in grave danger today!

Su Mang's expression was solemn; this war—

It has already reached the level of Immortals and Gods!

Star Palace.

"Fellow Daoist, congratulations! Your disciple has escaped the siege of the Divine Capital and was rescued by Yu Tunzhou of the Northern Plains."

Yellow Springs Daoist, who received the news almost at the same time, walked into the Star Palace Ancestral Hall with a big laugh and paid another visit to True Person Xuanyang.

Upon hearing this, True Person Xuanyang's brows twitched slightly, but he neither opened his eyes nor paid any attention to this person.

Yellow Springs Daoist asked with great interest, "Fellow Daoist, can you still see the future? According to what the Jixia Academy said, after that emperor determined the future, you should no longer be able to see any trace of destiny."

Seeing that Xuanyang showed no intention of replying, he smiled and said, "If you continue to ignore me, I might as well go and kill a few Star Palace elders to liven things up. They are just a few trivial matters, are you unwilling to do me the honor?"

True Person Xuanyang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold. "You'd better not go to extremes in everything you do."

"That doesn't depend on me, but on you, fellow Daoist," Yellow Springs Daoist said with a smile.

True Person Xuanyang coldly replied, "With the Heaven Ranking's assistance, even if Dao Lord obstructs my path, I can still see part of the future."

The Yellow Springs Daoist said with great interest, "So, you had already predicted that your disciple would escape death this time?"

True Person Xuanyang remained indifferent.

In fact----

He didn't see it clearly; instead, he did the Shougui, calculating that if Shougui continued to stay in the palace, he would only face death.

"Yu Tunzhou ----"

Yellow Springs Daoist stood with his hands behind his back before the gate, uttered the name, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head, saying, "Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Three Pure Ones Lineage, his legacy is something we Rogue Cultivator envy immensely, a blessing we could not attain even in ten lifetimes."

"It seems the information from the Jixia Academy was wrong; this person most likely really did defeat Xue Wuya single-handedly."

Suddenly, Yellow Springs Daoist said thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you do some more divination for me? Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the royal family will soon be sending me to deal with Yu Tunzhou."

"Could it be that my fate is sealed by this man?"

True Person Xuanyang said calmly, "So you're finally afraid? Don't blame me for not warning you. Now that you've fled overseas, far from the strife in the Central Plains, you still have a glimmer of hope."

"Fear?"

The Yellow Springs Daoist chuckled.

"If you were already afraid, I wouldn't have made it this far. Fellow Daoist, you are indeed from the Star Palace lineage, and you know very little about Martial Dao."

"If that person could kill Xue Wuya, then naturally they also have ways to deal with you." True Person Xuanyang spoke slowly, trying to scare the man away with the Yu Tunzhou, or at least make him wary.

"Xue Wuya?"

But Yellow Springs Daoist scoffed, "It's obvious without even guessing that Yu Tunzhou must possess Secret Method that counters Xue Wuya's Blood River Undying Body."

"Since that person is a descendant of the Grand Purity Lineage, what's so strange about having a method to counter him? Even if Xue Wuya is truly dead, he deserves to die. Did he really think that a Secret Method could make him invincible?"

"Besides that Secret Method, does Xue Wuya have anything else worth mentioning? He's only just entered the Dharma Aspect, yet he dares to challenge Yan Huifeng...?"

They probably still don't know that the one who made the move that day wasn't Yan Huifeng himself, but the spirit of the immortal sword!

The Yellow Springs Daoist made no attempt to conceal his contempt in his words.

True Person Xuanyang was shocked. The spirit of the immortal sword?

Even he didn't know such a secret; how did this person learn it from?!

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am not a fool like Xue Wuya who dares to underestimate the heroes of the world just because I rely on the inheritance of Dao Lord!"

Yellow Springs Daoist laughed heartily, then turned and walked out of the hall. "Since there is such a risk, then this humble Daoist must prepare well and meet this successor of Dao and Virtue!"

True Person Xuanyang watched the man's departing figure, his brows furrowed.

When this person left the Central Plains, he was only slightly better than Ji Yaoyang in the Dharma Aspect.

But after going abroad, even he himself couldn't quite see through this person.

I wonder what kind of fortuitous opportunity this person had overseas.

Danyang Commandery, River-Viewing Tower.

Almost an hour had passed since Yu Tunzhou left.

With an hour to go, Qian Jinqing ordered someone to remove the cold dishes from the table and set out a new set.

The Qian Household patriarch nodded with a smile, "Jinqing made the best arrangements."

The other elders of the Qian Lineage held their breath, their hearts filled with unease.

"Do you really think he can come back?"

Lü Qingshu remained half-frozen in his chair, his body aching and weak. Han Wuj iu his energy flow, and he had been sitting there stiffly for an hour.

As the time drew near, the initial panic in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by increasing composure. He looked at Han Wuj iu with a cold smile, "You're not a Donkey Primordial being, you're an extraterrestrial visitor, aren't you?"

"No need for excuses. I am an envoy of the Great Yuan Dynasty, blessed with the aura of the Mao Yuan Blade Dynasty. I can see at a glance that you are subject to the control of Heaven and Earth."

"You're following the Yu Tunzhou; what will you gain? Do you really think that Daode Lineage can allow you to run rampant in Maoyuan? Maoyuan is ruled by Human Dao, not by Daoism or Buddhism!"

Han Wuj iu glanced at the man expressionlessly.

Even the Human Emperor of that time never uttered such words that attempted to separate Daoism and Buddhism from the Human Race.

Since ancient times, Daoism and Buddhism have gradually merged with the Human Race, becoming indistinguishable from one another. Primordial sages such as the Three Pure Ones have passed down their teachings to the Human Race.

With the support of these two factions, even the Demon Race race cannot compete with the Human Race.

Han Wuj iu pondered, wondering whether these words were the man's own idea or whether the emperor behind the Great Yuan still harbored the intention to oppose Daoism and Buddhism.

Did that victory four thousand years ago lead him to believe that Daoism and Buddhism were nothing more than this?

Lü Qingshu remained calm, attempting to plant a seed of intelligence in Han Wuj iu's heart first, laying the groundwork for later winning him over.

"Do you know that if you submit to the Great Yuan, we can remove the oppression of heaven and earth for you—"

Suddenly, a very distant and deep tremor came from the southern horizon, like muffled thunder rolling across the sky.

Lü Qingshu's smile froze, and he looked over with surprise and uncertainty.

They're really back?!

In one hour, this person not only traversed a thousand miles, but also rescued Mo Shougui from the clutches of many powerful figures, and then turned back?

As far as he knew, all the major families in this Divine Capital had come out in full force, and all the people on earth had been mobilized. Emperor Tianshun himself, under His Majesty's guidance, had suddenly aligned with the Human Dao Fortune. This was a method specifically targeting Immortals and Gods, and Dharma Aspect!

With such a devastating defeat, how can Yu Tunzhou possibly break through?

Upon further reflection, Lü Qingshu regained his composure. This person either hadn't gone at all and was just going through the motions, or he had returned empty-handed.

"I'm back!"

The Qian Household family looked on in surprise and saw a streak of blue light breaking through the sky from the south, moving at an astonishing speed, and arriving above River-Viewing Tower in the blink of an eye.

His green robe fluttered down, its hem lightly swaying, untouched by the dust of the journey; he didn't look like Yuan Ya, but rather like someone taking a stroll along the riverbank.

Witnessing this scene, and seeing that Yu Tunzhou had returned empty-handed, Lü Qingshu became even more certain that Yu Tunzhou had not gone at all, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"I have not failed in my mission, and I apologize for keeping you all waiting." Yu Tunzhou walked into the formation and said with a smile, "I have returned with several guests."

With a flick of his sleeve, Mo Shougui, covered in dust and wounds but full of spirit, appeared out of Mo Shougui air at the banquet.

The moment this person appeared, the cold smile on Lü Qingshu's face froze instantly, and he looked at him in disbelief.

This is—that thief from the Star Palace, the one carrying a secret weapon?!

Yu Tunzhou really rescued him?!

"So it's the Danyang Qian Household. Mr. Qian Cong, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

Mo Shougui touched his head, recognized the place at a glance, and laughed heartily, becoming very enthusiastic.

In his youth, he traveled all over the country and forged many friendships with prominent Aristocratic Clan in various places.

The Qian Household patriarch gave Mo Shougui a deep look and sighed, "Looking at the world today, there are probably very few heroes who can catch Young Hero Yu's eye."

Yu Tunzhou laughed and said, "Heroes aren't judged by age, and great men aren't judged by fists; what matters is their ambition and aspirations."

"It's a pity we haven't seen a single hero or great man along the way, but we've met quite a few people with empty reputations."

He flicked his sleeve again, and a figure tumbled down from the spray. Everyone was filled with surprise and doubt; who was this person?

"Master Jiang?!"

Lü Qingshu screamed, startled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Jiang Linfan's appearance was like a thunderbolt, shattering all his confidence.

His mind went blank for a moment, like the rumbling thunder that had just swept across the sky.

"This is----"

The Qian Household patriarch took a deep breath and recognized him.

There are only so many people in the Earthly Realm, not to mention the top twenty Grandmaster.

And the one on the ground----

He was among the top performers in the land and recently replaced Feng Xu as the commander of the Gold-Wielding Guard, holding a high position!

Within an hour, this person not only rescued Mo Shougui but also captured the Grandmaster of the Jiang Household. Such strength—

Yu Tunzhou sat down, picked up the warm wine that had just been served, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

There are always some clueless people blocking the way; I just take care of them when I'm done.
