Chapter 421: Chapter 421

"Prime Minister, have the three major forces released the Qin Dynasty merchants yet?"

In the imperial hall, Qin Wudao, dressed in imperial robes, sat high on the throne. His back was straight and upright, exuding an immense imperial aura that spread out around him. After breaking through to the Quasi-emperor Realm, his temperament became even more majestic, making him seem like a divine spirit, someone too powerful to look at directly.

"Your Majesty, they haven’t been released yet. However, the recent actions of the three major forces are a bit strange; they seem to be blocking some kind of news!" Zhuge Liang stepped forward, walked to the middle of the hall, and respectfully reported.

"Blocking news?" Qin Wudao’s brows lifted slightly. He waved his hand and ordered, "I want the Hidden Guard to find out what’s going on!"

"As you command!" Zhuge Liang returned to his position.

"Has the representative from the Elixir Pavilion arrived?" Qin Wudao turned his head to look at Guo Jia, asking loudly.

"Your Majesty, the representatives of the Elixir Pavilion have already set off. They should reach the Imperial Capital in five days at the most!" Guo Jia cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

Qin Wudao nodded, his gaze sweeping across the court. He solemnly admonished, "The resurrection of the Elixir Saint is related to the future of the Qin Dynasty. During this time, all departments of the court will fully cooperate with the actions of the Imperial Physician Institute."

"As for the Qin Dynasty citizens detained by the three major forces, they must not be taken lightly. Make every effort to rescue them. If it comes to it, once the Elixir Saint is revived, we can use force to save them!"

"Every citizen of the Qin Dynasty, however far they may be, must be saved!"

Five days passed, sliding by like flowing water, causing no ripples.

Under the watchful gaze of countless forces, the team from the Elixir Pavilion finally arrived at the Imperial Capital. Guo Jia led the officials to welcome them three miles outside the city, showing the magnitude of their importance.

"I heard rumors that Minister Guo had died at Bull Head Mountain. To see you in person now is such a fortunate event!" Aboard a luxurious Spirit Boat, Chu Changfei stood on the deck. Spotting Guo Jia over a thousand feet away, a glint of shock and joy flashed through his eyes.

He was astonished that Guo Jia was still alive! He was also joyous that Guo Jia was still alive!

The previously supposedly dead Guo Jia was now alive and kicking before him, clearly showing that the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty possessed real revival techniques.

"All things are possible. Who knows, in a few days the Pavilion Master may be able to receive teachings from the Elixir Saint!" Guo Jia smiled and extended his hand towards the city behind him, courteously saying, "Pavilion Master, my friends, this way please!"

"Please!" Chu Changfei also made a welcoming gesture, then piloted the flying ship into the Imperial Capital, landing it on the training grounds of the palace.

That day, Qin Wudao hosted a banquet for the members of the Elixir Pavilion to discuss the timeline for reviving the Elixir Saint. They verified that all required preparations were set and scheduled the process for three days later.

In the following two days, powerful individuals from various major forces, exuding potent auras, crossed the skies to arrive at the Imperial Capital and witness the process of reviving the Elixir Saint. This group even included powerhouses from the Eternal Temple!

「At night, the sky was as dark as pitch!」

The Imperial Physician Institute was brightly lit. Qin Wudao, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, and Zhang Zhongjing were gathered, the atmosphere slightly tense as they made their final preparations.

"Your Majesty, we have examined the soul condition of the Elixir Saint. Although it is on the verge of collapse, luckily the True Spirit is still intact; it can be revived!" Hua Tuo was the first to speak, his tone full of confidence.

In fact, it was his first time performing the resurrection technique on a damaged soul; it would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous. However, as a top traditional Chinese physician who had comprehended the Medical Dao, one who held the life and death of patients in his hands and dared to snatch souls back from the King of Hell, he possessed exceptional self-confidence. Having self-confidence is an important factor in any task, and often a prerequisite for success.

"You’ve all worked hard!" Qin Wudao let out a sigh of relief. He had complete faith in the medical skills of the three Imperial Physicians. Without further ado, he gave some instructions and then left the Imperial Physician Institute.

Meanwhile, inside the Honglun Temple, it was also brilliantly illuminated.

May Heaven bless us. I hope we’ll succeed! Chu Changfei stood by the window, hands clasped behind his back, gazing upon the night view of the Imperial Capital, praying silently.

The cool night wind swept through the window into the room, tossing his pitch-black hair into a wild dance, making his clothes rustle and snap in the breeze.

"Father, don’t worry too much. The Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court wouldn’t do this unless they were certain of success," Chu Miaoyu said softly as she pushed open the door, walked into the room, and stood by the window, comforting him. The source of this content ɪs n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

The moonlight spilled over her fair and glowing face, casting an ethereal beauty that made her seem even more enchanting. Sadly, no one was there to admire such beauty.

Chu Changfei remained silent, filled with intense anxiety, waiting for the dawn of the new day.

Chu Miaoyu, too, stopped speaking, simply standing quietly by the window.

As the moon ascended higher and higher, their shadows shifted position under the moonlight, as if comprehending the passing of time.

Gradually, the bustling night scenery vanished. Apart from patrolling soldiers, no pedestrians were to be seen. Then, insect sounds began to fill the air, weaving together to perform nature’s wondrous melody.

In the latter part of the night, the chirping insects fell silent. Everything was still, the moonlight icily cold.

However, even when all creatures were sound asleep, how many people in the vast Imperial Capital could not find sleep?

In the imperial palace, someone was reviewing a night’s worth of memorials to the throne.

Inside the Imperial Physician Institute, someone was making final preparations.

In the Honglun Temple, someone was waiting for the first light of dawn under the moonlight.

The passage of time never quickens or slows. A new day will never be late. Even mighty gods who can disrupt time and space with their power cannot freeze time.

As the morning sun slowly rose, at almost the same moment, the major powerhouses gathered in the Imperial Capital started to move towards the imperial palace.

Feng Conglong from the Sacred Court of the Nine Heavens!

The Grand Elder Soul Annihilation from the Eternal Temple!

Bo Zhong from Saint Heaven Institute...

"Your Majesty, there are three martial artists at the Source Great Emperor realm, thirteen at the Ten-thousand-year Emperor realm, twenty-seven at the Thousand-year Emperor realm, and more than forty at the Ancient Great Emperor realm within the city!" Guo Jia, who had rushed to the Imperial Physician Institute early in the morning, released the power of his spiritual soul to scan the Imperial Capital. He was then taken aback by the sheer number of powerhouses who had come to witness the ’Method of Resurrection’. Even a slight mishap could be a devastating blow to the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court.

So many? Qin Wudao was quietly shocked. It seemed that the ’Method of Resurrection’ held a great allure for all the major sacred lands. He immediately ordered, "Bring back the Liang Mountain Troops and secretly set up the Heavenly Dipper and Earth Evil Formation as a precaution!"

Considering the conflict between the major sacred lands and the Eternal Temple, he had thought that the sacred lands would only send Ten-thousand-year Emperors. Unexpectedly, three martial artists of the Source Great Emperor realm had arrived! Guo Jia alone was no longer enough to maintain control!

"Understood!" Guo Jia hurriedly left.

He had high regard for the strength of the Liang Mountain Troops. Once they set up their formation, their combat power would be astonishing, capable of resisting an ordinary martial artist of the Source Great Emperor realm.

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out, and the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth began to thicken.

Qin Wudao turned to look and saw Chu Changfei and the experts from the Elixir Pavilion carrying a jade bed. Their faces were red with exertion, and each step they took left a deep pit in the ground.

Lying on the jade bed were the soul and bones of the Elixir Saint!

What is this jade bed? Qin Wudao looked at the lotus-carved jade bed, utterly shocked. As soon as the jade bed appeared, the several innate spiritual treasures within him began to tremble lightly.

"Young Master, this jade bed is not ordinary! You should go and take a look!"

"Yes, Young Master, I feel that this jade bed is useful to us!"

Suddenly, the voices of Kun Daoist and Four Incompatible simultaneously rang out, tinged with a hint of urgency.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wudao, accompanied by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, walked over and smiled, "Pavilion Master Chu, let us help you!"
