Chapter 1261: Chapter 1151: Donkey Da De
Gengyuan Continent.
The earth stretched vast and boundless, bathed in sunlight, shimmering with dazzling golden radiance.
At this moment, outside the largest city of Metal Emperor State—Jin Emperor City—the crowds were overwhelming!
In just a few days, the news that Mount Jin Di was seeking men with Pure Yang physiques had spread across the entire Metal Emperor State.
The so-called Pure Yang physique refers to males!
It is said that possessing a Pure Yang physique would earn one personal tutelage from the Metal Emperor himself, paving the way to ascend to Qingyun.
As a result, men across the continent went crazy!
Any man with noticeable attributes ended up coming here.
Within the city, there were ten designated locations for the selection process.
The men lining up were almost uniformly striking in appearance—some with youthful, delicate features resembling pampered young nobles; others ruggedly built, exuding raw masculinity; and even others refined and scholarly, radiating intellectual charm…
One glance could make infatuated women drool!
“Huh? This sort of fat guy dares to show up?”
Suddenly, someone spoke up in astonishment at the ninth selection point.
In the queue, there stood an overweight man… utterly out of place with the rest!
The others were all eye candy, but he was round and bloated, far from being called handsome—he looked more like a butcher who raised pigs.
This man… was none other than…
Wu Dade!
—Since arriving in the Forbidden World, he had found himself in Gengyuan Continent.
However, he hadn’t managed to locate his descendants among the survivors nor had he discovered the Lamp of Origin, wandering aimlessly across Gengyuan Continent instead.
He had always wanted to approach Mount Jin Di because he had a sense… that Mount Jin Di might once have been connected to his origin!
However, he had never succeeded.
Until a few days ago, Wu Dade sensed a dark aura emanating from Mount Jin Di, followed by news breaking about their search for Pure Yang physiques…
At once, he hastened to register.
After all, this was the only chance to infiltrate Mount Jin Di.
But he hadn’t anticipated that he’d be rejected in over ten cities beforehand…
“Haha, that’s the kind of fat guy who doesn’t know his place—someone like him would be better off accompanying dogs. What right does he have to participate in the selection?”
“Hehe, there are always dreamers thinking absurd thoughts; soon enough, Mount Jin Di will kick him out!”
“So many toad-eyed dreamers have already been punished by Mount Jin Di for their repulsive audacity—yet he still dares to show up…”
The surrounding crowd mocked and sneered, distancing themselves from him disdainfully.
In truth, Wu Dade was not entirely unattractive, but nor could he be considered particularly handsome. Unfortunately, amidst a sea of exceptionally handsome men, he stood out as “fat and ugly.”
Wu Dade observed their reactions but chose silence, gritting his teeth!
This world obsessed with appearances!
How ridiculous was it? Why was there such disdain for fat people?
It’s not as if he ate their rice!
“People like this should be left soaking in Dead Dog’s Great Divine Power…”
He couldn’t help thinking bitterly.
Up ahead, the selections had already begun.
“Jiang Yu, features balanced, proportionate physique; eligible for top one hundred, approved!”
“Jiang Xing, muscular physique, undeniably striking image; approved!”
The selection process continued.
Only a few manage to pass!
“Sir, please give me another chance. While I may not be the most handsome, my waist strength is unparalleled—I trained in theater performances, capable of a thousand movements within one incense stick’s time!”
Up front, a man with weaker looks was pleading desperately.
The selecting official listened and said:
“Is that true? Someone, take him for verification… If he meets the standards of ‘Donkey Path,’ he may still qualify…”
—According to Cheng Huanhuan’s specifications, this selection had three criteria.
Pan, Donkey, Youth!
Pan, representing Pan An-level jaw-dropping beauty.
Youth, signifying young age.
Donkey… well, it had to resemble a donkey—like that, uh, you know!
Instantly, the registering man was taken inside.
“Ji Ying, five inches, three thousand motions per incense stick; satisfies ‘Donkey Path’ criteria! Approved!”
The registering official confirmed immediately.
Ji Ying, the chosen candidate, was ecstatic.
“I never imagined this guy to have such extraordinary talent!”
“Impressive!”
Many expressed their admiration.
From behind, Wu Dade’s eyes lit up… Although he wasn’t entirely sure what “Donkey Path” was, he thought, since he had raised pigs and dogs, he’d take being a donkey too—all just to get inside!
He stepped forward immediately and said:
“I… I’ll try Donkey Path too?”
But the elderly registrar frowned and replied:
“No need to try; your physique is disqualified—you’re too fat, and you’re not eligible.”
Hearing this, Wu Dade grew even angrier—seriously, just because he was fat, he wasn’t even qualified to be a donkey?
Was there no justice in this world?
Just then…
“Here comes Emperor’s Son Jin Qiang Ruan!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
From within the Emperor City, a grand procession appeared on the streets. Guards lined both sides, and three massive golden rhinos pulled a shining Golden War Chariot!
In the war chariot sat a dazzling young man, his face sharp and chiseled, exuding strength and unparalleled beauty.
Even in a city filled with handsome men, he demanded attention like no other.
Handsome—absolute perfection!
“The Fifth Emperor’s Son… Jin Qiang Ruan!”
“Hush, do not refer to him directly!”
“It’s unbelievable—the Emperor’s Son himself has come…”
Everyone gawked at the war chariot in shock.
The war chariot finally stopped before the selection points.
“Summon all those who passed the Donkey Path selection.”
Jin Qiang Ruan spoke coldly.
Immediately, staff at various registration points scrambled into action. Soon, about twenty men, all chosen through Donkey Path, were gathered.
Golden light flickered in Jin Qiang Ruan’s eyes as he surveyed them, nodding in satisfaction—indeed, they all adhered to the “Donkey Path” criteria…
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Wu Dade, and he was visibly taken aback.
“This one, bring him as well!”
Wu Dade was handpicked!
Those around him were stunned.
“To think he’d be chosen personally by the Emperor’s Son… not bad at all…”
“He said he wanted to try Donkey Path just now; could it be he’s really a master in this?”
“A fat guy… it doesn’t make sense though!”
Many were puzzled.
Wu Dade, though unsure why he’d been selected, was overjoyed and exclaimed:
“Great!”
Emperor’s Son Jin Qiang Ruan waved his hand, and Wu Dade, Ji Ying, and the group followed him.
But instead of heading up the mountain, they arrived before a Golden Mountain after a short while.
The mountain seemed to be constructed entirely of yellow Divine Metal, without any other materials. At its center, there was a cave.
“Is the formation set up?”
Jin Qiang Ruan asked.
A middle-aged attendant lowered his head and answered:
“Rest assured, Emperor’s Son; all that’s missing is the medicinal catalyst.”
Hearing this, Jin Qiang Ruan took a deep breath, then led the group into the golden cave.
Stepping into it, they were instantly mesmerized!
“Even one piece of this Divine Metal could forge a divine weapon!”
“Unbelievable, priceless!”
“Does it contain an essence of the Metal Emperor?”
Everyone was wondering aloud.
Wu Dade, on the other hand, remained calm. To him, though these Divine Metals looked impressive… they were no better than pot ash back in his village!
Not even worthy of feeding the Ancestral Melting Gold Tree.
Before long, they arrived at a massive chamber deep inside the cave.
Within the chamber stood an enormous Alchemy Furnace, surrounded by mysterious golden symbols glowing faintly as if connected to the veins of the land.
The golden symbols seemed to have drawn in almost all the Source Qi across the Metal Emperor State.
“This Source Qi…”
Wu Dade was slightly surprised—it felt oddly familiar to him, almost like something he’d once possessed…
“Throw the medicinal catalysts inside!”
Jin Qiang Ruan shouted.
The furnace lid was opened instantly.
The Metal Emperor State experts accompanying him began to act. No one in the group could resist—they were all tossed in!
Bang!
The lid slammed shut.
“Are you certain that using donkey-human catalysts combined with Ancestral Sacred Origin Qi will heal my old ailment?”
Jin Qiang Ruan turned to the middle-aged man.
With a smile, the man replied:
“Rest assured, Emperor’s Son. Your natural defect stems from being the Great Emperor’s youngest child, conceived in his late years when Source Qi was insufficient.”
“As the saying goes, ‘what is lacking must be replenished.’ Using my method of remedying deficiencies, with donkey-human catalysts and Ancestral Sacred Origin Qi, we can refine the Great Sun Pill. Once consumed, you will experience unprecedented growth… At that point, your four elder brothers combined will pale in comparison to you!”
Hearing this, Jin Qiang Ruan nodded repeatedly and said:
“Good… very good!”
He was elated!
—Empress Huanhuan, walking out from the darkness, was in search of men…
And naturally, they, the five brothers, had the advantage of proximity!
He was the most strikingly handsome among the five brothers, yet…
Thinking back to Empress Huanhuan’s ridicule—calling him a “silver-coated spearhead, all looks and no utility”—his heart burned with humiliation!
This time, even if it meant stealing Ancestral Sacred Origin Qi from Mount Jin Di, he was determined to make himself stronger!
As long as he grew stronger, as long as he won over Empress Huanhuan, he believed even his father would overlook the theft of Ancestral Sacred Origin Qi!
Anticipating his transformation after taking the Great Sun Pill, he couldn’t contain his excitement…
…
