Chapter 1719 - 922: The Emergence of the Human List and Acquisition of the Fire Extinguishing Immortal Technique

After an hour, Zhao Sheng brushed away the jade fragments around him with a flick of his sleeve, then placed the jade tablet engraved with names on the ground, and carefully scrutinized it.

At the top position of the Human List jade tablet, the three large characters "Zhao Xiuyan" were boldly engraved with powerful strokes.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze finally rested on the characters "Zhao Xiuyan," and he couldn’t help but smile slightly, thinking to himself, "This time there’s excitement to watch. I wonder which lineage will find this person first."

With a mischievous thought, Zhao Sheng picked up the Human List jade tablet with a single thought and gently tossed it into the Void.

As a ray of light flashed, the Human List jade tablet instantly pierced through the Void, falling into the Divine Land Ancestral Land.

......

In the season of September, during the third autumn sequence, the plaza in front of the Ancestor Hall was bustling with people, all of whom were Zhao Clan Members coming to worship their ancestors.

As these worshippers walked past the plaza in front of the hall, many often turned their heads to look at the west side.

Because on the west side of the plaza stood two giant jade tablets, three meters high, shimmering with colorful light.

At this time, beneath the two jade tablets, stood quite a few people, all looking up at the jade tablets, pointing and gesturing at them.

"I just can’t understand it. How can that scoundrel Zhao Jueying be first on the Earth List? He’s a despicable outsider, unable even to defeat True Monarch Qinghong who ranks thirty-second, what qualifications does he have to hold the first position!"

"Brother, you’re absolutely right. Let me tell you, the Earth List ranking should have changed long ago. People like Zhao Jueying, Zhao Defa, Zhao Dao Po, who aren’t worthy of their positions, should have voluntarily stepped down long ago."

"Brothers, be careful with your words! Despite his shortcomings, True Monarch Jueying is still the Great True Monarch of the Earth List first position, not someone we juniors can discuss lightly."

"That’s right! No matter how it’s done, the Earth List ranking came from the hands of the Fourth Ancestor! The Fourth Ancestor has vast divine skills, ranking like that must have a deeper meaning. We don’t understand it, so we should never question thoughtlessly."

Upon hearing this, the person who spoke first was immediately panicked and quickly clarified, "I absolutely did not mean to question the Fourth Ancestor. I was just talking nonsense earlier, please don’t take it to heart."

"Yes, I was just speaking casually too, I would never dare show the slightest disrespect to the Fourth Ancestor," the second speaker, a middle-aged man, echoed immediately.

"Don’t worry, brothers. We hear and forget, how could we take what was just said seriously?"

"That’s good, that’s good!" The person earlier quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, repeating hastily.

Recently, for the past thousand years, with the Ancestor and the Second Ancestor hidden away, the Fourth Ancestor, who occasionally showed himself, became the "Stabilizing Pillar" of the Ten Lands Zhao Clan.

As time passed, under the meticulous planning of the Fourth Ancestor, the Zhao Family flourished increasingly, the speed of power growth accelerating.

Thus, the Fourth Ancestor’s prestige in the hearts of the whole clan grew ever higher, those who regarded him as a deity were countless.

Especially eighty years ago, when the Fourth Ancestor reformed nearly a hundred clan rules in one breath, strongly advocating for a whole set of new rules and order, greatly reducing the numerous drawbacks and outdated practices of the old rules, undoubtedly providing new developmental momentum for the whole clan.

Most importantly was thirty years ago when the Fourth Ancestor personally established the Heavenly List and Earth List.

The Heaven and Earth Two Lists each have a hundred people listed, any Returning Void Realm elder listed on the Heavenly List can automatically gain Heaven-level Authority, and additionally receive personal guidance from the Fourth Ancestor.

The hundred Divinity Transformation True Monarchs listed on the Earth List can all gain Earth-level Authority and also receive strong support from the entire clan.

You must understand, the Zhao Family Authority has a total of eight levels, namely Universe and Wilderness, Heaven and Earth, Mysterious and Yellow!

Desolate Level Authority is only available to the current Family Head and Unification Realm Ancestor, while Heavenly Level Authority is the highest level of authority that all Returning Void Elders can strive for.

Since the Ruins Demon Tribulation a thousand years ago, the Ten Lands Zhao Clan has entered a new phase of rapid power expansion.

Not only have new Returning to Void Realm elders been born consecutively, Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators have emerged in large numbers like offspring.

Today, a thousand years later, the number of Returning to Void Elders in the entire clan has long exceeded hundreds, and even the Unification Realm Ancestor has increased by one.

As of today, the Ten Lands Zhao Clan can be said to be at its zenith. Many ancient Immortal Sects and Immortal Gates outside have vaguely regarded it as the "Foremost Immortal Gate of Taiyi Spirit Realm."

"As the saying goes, ’the tallest tree in the forest will surely be blown down by the wind!’ Considering how glorious our Zhao Family is now, we really should be more low-key. Why does the Fourth Ancestor instead do the opposite? What’s his purpose in launching the Heaven and Earth Two Lists?

Is he not afraid that the listed individuals will be... be assassinated?"

At the end, the middle-aged man dressed in Jinyi suddenly lowered his voice.

However, his words had already reached the ears of those nearby, and everyone seemed to agree with what he said.

"This is wrong thinking! Our Zhao Family rose from wearing rags and being inconspicuous. Throughout the twenty thousand years, generations of clan members have fought hard... If we want to win the name ’First Immortal Gate,’ how can we act with timidity and fear, we must have great courage and be fearless, thus to overpower thousands of realms, to showcase—"

Before the words were finished, a giant jade tablet suddenly emerged from the void, slowly landing on the plaza ground, standing alongside the other two jade tablets.

As soon as the jade tablet appeared, the Zhao Clan members on the plaza suddenly seemed to sense something, looking over in unison.

At that moment, the plaza suddenly fell silent as if time had stopped.

"Human List?!"

After the jade tablet landed, an exclamation suddenly broke the silence of the plaza.

Instantly, everyone rushed towards the bottom of the jade tablet, and in the blink of an eye, the area under the Human List jade tablet was crowded with people.

"Quickly look, the first name on the Human List is Zhao Xiuyan! Who knows the background of this person?"
