Chapter 422: Chapter 422

Upon seeing Qin Wudao approaching, Chu Changfei was slightly taken aback but quickly expressed his gratitude. After all, Qin Wudao was the sovereign of a nation, and his personal offer of assistance was a great show of respect to him.

When Qin Wudao placed his hand on the jade, he immediately felt an immense pressure. This pressure did not originate from the physical body but from the depths of the soul, as if he were carrying a God Mountain. It was so incredibly heavy that after only a few steps, he began to feel tired.

As Qin Wudao’s hand rested on the jade, the Kun Daoist and the Four Incompatible hurriedly released their spiritual power to perceive the jade’s origin.

"Could this be for nurturing the soul..."

"My heavens, this is the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven!" the Kun Daoist said tremblingly, his voice tinged with a frantic edge.

The Soulprotection Jade of Heaven was a unique treasure, rumored to be condensed from the origin of the law of the soul. Although it lacked combat capabilities, it possessed the function of repairing and nurturing the soul. In his memory, throughout the Primordial Era, the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven had appeared only a handful of times, and each piece was far smaller than the one before him; the largest was merely the size of a human head.

The Four Incompatible also discovered the jade’s origin. "Yes, it is indeed the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven! This is great! We now have hope for resurrection!" he exclaimed, then eagerly said to Qin Wudao, "Young Master, you must obtain this piece of jade. It’s called the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven, a treasure rarer than innate spiritual treasures, capable of repairing fragmented souls!"

"I understand!" Qin Wudao responded. I must obtain the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven, he secretly resolved. Not for any other reason, but simply because it can revive the Kun Daoist and the Four Incompatible.

In fact, he had previously considered ways to reconstruct their physical bodies, but since their True Spirits were incomplete, even the Investiture of the Gods could not accomplish this task. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net

With the help of Qin Wudao and the others, the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven was quickly moved into the Imperial Physician’s Court.

When everyone removed their hands, a mystical energy surged out from the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven, constructing an arcane world where graceful stalks of lotus flowers stood tall, like shy maidens with blushing cheeks and gentle smiles.

"Such a magnificent scene!" Dian Wei exclaimed, looking around, stunned by the spectacle before him. It was incredibly beautiful, as if they had stepped into a living painting, utterly intoxicating.

"Pavilion Master, what kind of jade is this?" A question arose in Qin Wudao’s mind, and he asked with feigned curiosity.

"According to ancient texts, this seems to be called the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven, which can nourish the soul. It’s fortunate we have this Soulprotection Jade of Heaven; otherwise, the Old Ancestor would have long since perished," Chu Changfei explained briefly, in no mood for idle chat, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, please perform the spell to resurrect the Old Ancestor!"

"Rest assured, Pavilion Master, the three Imperial Physicians are already preparing!" Qin Wudao replied with a slight smile. Remembering his goal of resurrecting the Alchemist, he cupped his hands and said, "Pavilion Master, I have an impolite request. Could the powerhouses of the other sacred lands be allowed to watch? As you know, the current situation of the Qin Dynasty is not favorable."

Only by resurrecting the Alchemist in front of all the sacred lands, using traditional Chinese medicine, would the numerous sacred lands believe it. If he performed it privately, many sacred lands would remain suspicious, assuming that the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court had used some special treasure to resurrect the Alchemist. Doing so privately was merely to deceive others and would not achieve the desired outcome.

"Well..." Chu Changfei hesitated slightly, worried that with too many onlookers, any disturbance or secret sabotage might affect the Old Ancestor’s revival.

"Pavilion Master, rest assured," Qin Wudao assured him, perhaps seeing his hesitation. "I will arrange a sound-proof Formation around the area and deploy Great Emperor Realm Martial Artists to protect it!"

Hearing this, Chu Changfei no longer hesitated and nodded gently.

"Xu Chu, go and invite the powerhouses from the major sacred lands to enter!"

Upon receiving permission, Qin Wudao breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Chu Changfei might be obstinate and refuse.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Chu acknowledged, turned, and left the Imperial Physician’s Court.

A few minutes later, renowned Imperial Realm martial artists walked into the special world constructed by the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven. They positioned themselves in different corners, waiting in anticipation. They glanced at the Alchemist, whose soul was on the brink of collapse, then at Qin Wudao, a hint of skepticism in their eyes. Can he truly be revived in such a state? they wondered.

"What a large Soulprotection Jade of Heaven!" Soul Annihilation, however, recognized the Soulprotection Jade of Heaven. Beneath his black robe, his eyes revealed a glint of greed.

Guo Jia walked over to Qin Wudao and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, it’s time!"

"Everyone," Qin Wudao began, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his voice cold, "the three Imperial Physicians of the Qin Dynasty will now proceed to treat the Alchemist. During this period, I expect all of you to remain calm and not release your auras. Otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite!"

Many of the powerhouses present revealed a trace of disdain upon hearing this. They had dominated various eras; would they be threatened by a junior?

At this moment, Guo Jia and Chu Changfei each took a step forward. The might of their Great Emperor Realm cultivation bases erupted, and the Power of Laws swirled, pressing down on the disdainful experts.

Instantly, all except for Feng Conglong and Soul Extinguisher retreated several steps, their faces aghast, their contemptuous expressions vanishing.

A green barrier appeared, centered on the Soulprotection Jade, encompassing a radius of thirty zhang and isolating it from all external forces.

Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, and Zhang Zhongjing, each carrying a medicine box, walked into the barrier, appearing in everyone’s sight.

This was their first public appearance. However, before long, their names would echo throughout the entire continent.

What can three mere Semi-Emperor Martial Artists possibly do? everyone, aside from those of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, wondered skeptically. In their view, the resurrection would be performed by either some powerful treasure or a formidable expert. Yet, it turned out to be these three ’ants’!

"If any harm comes to the Old Ancestor, my clan will not spare the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court!" Chu Miaoyu declared, stepping up to Qin Wudao, her hand on her sword, her voice a cold threat. Her beautiful phoenix eyes radiated a faint killing intent.

"If you don’t want anything to happen to your Old Ancestor, then behave yourself!" Qin Wudao retorted irritably, without turning his head.

"You..." Chu Miaoyu gritted her teeth, shot Qin Wudao a venomous glare, but did not leave. She stood to the side, poised to act at any moment. If anything seems amiss, I’ll capture Qin Wudao immediately, she had already decided.

"The Art of Remnant Soul Resurrection involves three steps!" Hua Tuo announced calmly, under everyone’s gaze. His aura suddenly transformed, emitting a green light and revealing an esoteric law.

"Strange, such a peculiar Power of Laws!" Chu Changfei, standing at the edge of the barrier, was the first to sense the change in Hua Tuo’s aura, a hint of surprise on his face. He had lived for sixty million years, and as a renowned Alchemist, he had witnessed countless manifestations of the Power of Laws, but this was the first time he had encountered one .

This law was different from any other known law in the world. It was vaguely similar to the laws of the Alchemy Dao, yet it lacked the volatile nature of Fire-attribute laws, possessing instead a quality of peace.

He was certain that the Power of Laws manifested by Hua Tuo was anything but simple!
