Chapter 415: Chapter 415

The Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty!

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xiao He, and others closely followed the battle in the Kylin Domain, also receiving news of the destruction of the Kylin Sacred Land. Immediately, everyone’s mood grew tense. The five giants of the East Border were contending for supremacy; now one had fallen—who would be next?

Inside the Deliberative Pavilion, Zhuge Liang, with a grave expression, said to everyone, "The situation is rather dire. After the Kylin Sacred Land was destroyed, the three factions didn’t engage in internal conflict; they are still maintaining their alliance!"

Before Qin Wudao entered seclusion, he had asked the courtiers to discuss expansion plans. They all believed that after occupying the Kylin Domain, the three major forces would "split," even going so far as to fight amongst themselves. At that point, it would be time for the Qin Dynasty to expand. However, based on the current situation, all previously formulated plans had been overturned. Check latest chapters at noᴠelfire.net

"In fact, the relationship between the three forces isn’t good; they are all carefully calculating their own interests. Maintaining their current alliance is probably related to the forces behind them!" Guo Jia remarked, a keen light flashing in the depths of his eyes. It was common knowledge that hidden backers supported these three major forces.

"Then why do they want to maintain an alliance? Isn’t it more in their interest to occupy the Kylin Domain alone?" Xiao He asked. The Myriad Demon Saint’s Court, Beidou Palace, and Taiyi Saint’s Court supported the three major powers to contend for Fortune. The place with the richest Fortune in the East Border was undoubtedly the Kylin Domain.

Everyone shook their heads; if they knew the answer, they wouldn’t be so troubled.

After pondering for a while without finding any clues, Zhuge Liang decided to stop overthinking and address the pressing issue. "Let’s stop guessing," he declared. "Our priority now is to formulate a defensive plan to prevent an invasion by the three major forces!"

Of course, the ministers had no objections and began to discuss the defensive plan. This discussion lasted for more than twelve hours, from when the sun first rose until the bright moon hung high in the sky, before they finally reached an agreement.

All the major army corps of the Qin Dynasty began to mobilize secretly. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Turtle, and Vermilion Bird armies were dispatched to garrison the Beichuan Domain at the northern end of the Great Wall. The Bei Wei Army, Overlord Iron Cavalry, and Great Desert Army were dispatched to garrison the Giant Tiger Domain in the central part of the Great Wall. The Long Plank Army, Fanqiu Army, Ding Yang Army, and Blood Fight Army were dispatched to garrison the Tianyuan Domain at the southern end of the Great Wall.

These three Domains were all crucial strategic military areas. All buildings and facilities were primarily for military purposes, intended to defend against the Thousand Demons Sacred Land, the Zixiao Sacred Land, and the Qionghua Sacred Land! As for the Liang Mountain military corps, they continued to train, setting up the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Formation, ready for battle at any moment! Furthermore, the imperial court ordered the Artifact Refining Pavilion to forge God-Slaying Crossbows day and night...

Taking precautions was better than reacting to a crisis! Of course, one could also say a storm was brewing!

Located in the eastern part of the Kylin Domain, it was a beautiful grotto-heaven paradise. Formerly the detached palace of the Kylin Sacred Land’s Holy Lord, it was constructed with exceptional extravagance, surrounded by spiritual trees and with two rivers diverging through it, creating an atmosphere of serene elegance. However, with the annihilation of the Kylin Sacred Land, Huoyan Villa had changed owners, becoming the meeting place for the three major forces.

Tianyouge served as the grand hall for their deliberations. The leaders from the Qionghua Sacred Land, Zixiao Sacred Land, and Thousand Demons Sacred Land gathered here, seated according to their status. In the center, among the representatives of the three major forces, a map of the East Border was placed. It displayed four different colors: yellow represented the Thousand Demons Sacred Land, purple the Zixiao Sacred Land, pink the Qionghua Sacred Land, and red the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court.

Seated on a blue throne, a glint of greed in his bloodshot eyes, the Water Bear Emperor announced, "Gentlemen, we gather here today for the resurrection technique controlled by the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, are we not?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of Xiong Lie, Shu Qingyun, Zheng Guiqiong, and others constricted abruptly. The Qin Dynasty actually controls a resurrection technique? Can the dead truly be revived? How is this possible?

"The method of resurrection is not something the Qin Dynasty is qualified to control!" Kaiyang Star Lord declared with a smile, his eyes burning with fervor, his heart throbbing. After the destruction of the Kylin Sacred Land, he had initially intended to ally with the Qionghua Sacred Land to eliminate the Thousand Demons Sacred Land. However, before he could implement his plan, Tianshu Star Lord of Beidou Palace sent news, urging him to cooperate with the Thousand Demons Sacred Land and the Qionghua Sacred Land to seize the resurrection technique from the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court. When he first heard this news, he couldn’t believe it. He only accepted it as true when Tianshu Star Lord informed him that Guo Jia was still alive.

In the great battle of Bull Head Mountain, Guo Jia had fought fiercely against Soul Sky Emperor, saving everyone before perishing on the spot. The Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court had thus become renowned throughout the Primordial Continent, establishing karmic connections with all sacred lands.

Ancestor Rong, her face showing a compassionate smile that made her appear like a kind and amiable old woman—though an endless killing intent flowed beneath this facade—stated, "The powers behind us cannot take action against the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, so seizing the resurrection technique must rely on us alone!"

"The resurrection technique should benefit the world," Kaiyang Star Lord said coldly. "We should take action immediately to obtain it as soon as possible!" This was the ’nobility’ of the human race; no matter what they did, they could always find a suitable justification to portray themselves as saviors.

And so, the three major forces began their clandestine plotting, formulating a conspiracy against the Qin Dynasty.

Meanwhile, within the fragments of the Immortal Realm, an emperor’s might was as oppressive as a purgatory. Every inch of the Void was permeated with terrifying pressure; those with weak cultivation would instantly explode and die upon entry. Outside the central secret chamber, a colossal golden dragon coiled in the sky, occasionally emitting earth-shattering dragon roars.

Qin Wudao sat cross-legged inside the secret chamber, his entire body radiating a golden light. Behind him, a phantom figure appeared, clad in an imperial robe, its face indistinct, seated upon a royal throne, reigning supreme over all living beings, like a primordial Heavenly Emperor. All things in existence submitted before his throne! Peerless powerhouses prostrated themselves before his supreme strength! Countless sentient beings knelt before his unparalleled authority!

The Emperor: the aura of invincibility!

In the unseen depths, an ethereal voice echoed in Qin Wudao’s mind, interpreting the mysteries of the Emperor’s Path.

To possess strength is the prerequisite to becoming an Emperor!

Without strength, all authority is like a castle in the air, liable to collapse at any moment!

Qin Wudao murmured these words to himself. After he spoke, the imperial aura emanating from him seemed to shatter a barrier, becoming even more intense.

The Law of the Emperor Realm: Formed!

The golden dragon roared, its massive jaws gaping wide, unleashing a terrifying suction force. All the Spiritual Energy within the Immortal Realm fragment surged forth, forming an immense vortex of spiritual energy that was absorbed by Qin Wudao into his body. After absorbing a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, Qin Wudao began to challenge the Quasi-Emperor Realm bottleneck. Since he had comprehended the Law of the Emperor Realm, he broke through the bottleneck with ease.

After his breakthrough, Qin Wudao did not immediately awaken but continued to absorb Spiritual Energy, replenishing his emptied Dantian.

Two days later, Qin Wudao slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile gracing his lips. I’ve finally broken through!

Though not a true Emperor Realm martial artist, one at the Quasi-Emperor Realm wielded power tens of thousands of times greater than a Ninth-Turn Saint King. He had a feeling that a casual slap from him could transform a ten-thousand-zhang mountain into a deep, bottomless chasm.

Has the ranking also changed? Qin Wudao looked up, his gaze piercing the endless Void, toward the ’Immortal List’ high in the Ninth Heaven.

His name now ranked third!

First place: Soul Martial Ancestor!

Second place: Dongfang Zhantian!
