Chapter 490: Chapter 490

The ultimate saber gleam, without any effort, directly annihilated the power of the Earth Sha Star, turning it into countless strands of black energy that floated in the air.

Soul Obsession’s broken body quickly regained its normal color!

"Success!" the Soul Emperor said with a smile.

However, just as his voice fell, the dissipating power of the Earth Sha Star gathered once more and surged into Soul Obsession’s body.

"Not good!" The Soul Emperor’s expression changed.

Soul Obsession’s body visibly swelled and then exploded with a loud bang. Flesh and blood splattered, dyeing the great hall red.

"Damn it!" Watching the mangled corpse on the ground, the Soul Emperor clenched his fists, his face as grim as water. A Great Emperor Realm elder had just exploded and died right before his eyes.

After a moment, faint soul power emerged, coalescing into a humanoid figure floating in the void.

"Take Elder Soul Obsession’s soul away!" the Soul Emperor ordered in a deep voice, settling back onto his throne.

Two Ancient Great Emperor Realm experts walked in, produced a jade box coffin, and carefully placed Soul Obsession’s soul inside. After respectfully saluting, they quickly retreated.

"Report all the details of the war in the East Border to me!" the Soul Emperor said coldly, looking at Soul Annihilation and Soul Heart.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master!" Soul Heart, as Soul Obsession’s comrade-in-arms, spoke first, "The Qin Dynasty has a powerful military formation that can condense constellations, imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dipper Stars and the Earth Sha Star. Its combat strength is exceedingly formidable!"

"When I fought against the Qin army, which was augmented by the power of the Heavenly Dipper Stars, I was thoroughly suppressed, even when using the power of the Dao..."

Listening to Soul Heart’s report, the Soul Emperor’s expression gradually became grave.

He had observed the war in the East Border, but because it was too distant, he could only vaguely sense the power of the Qin Dynasty’s legions. Therefore, he had ordered the establishment of ten legions. But now, hearing Soul Heart’s words, he felt that ten legions might be too few.

After all, even the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court had more than ten main battle legions!

Their Eternal Temple, at any rate, was also the foremost power on the continent!

In terms of the number of experts, we are arguably the foremost on the continent, but our legion strength is sorely lacking!

After this summary, a hint of madness flickered in the Soul Emperor’s eyes as he loudly commanded, "Issue the order! The Eternal Temple headquarters is to establish ten more legions. Each regional branch is to establish three main battle legions!"

Soul Annihilation, Soul Heart, and the two other elders present were greatly shocked. One must know that there were dozens of branches across the entire Primitive Continent.

By this calculation, the Eternal Temple would be forming over a hundred legions, requiring a massive amount of resources.

However, when they thought about the strength of the Qin Dynasty’s legions, the four of them fell silent.

Their current situation was far from easy. They were engaged in intense battles with the Holy Land Alliance on the main front, and many branches had been uprooted, failing to gain the upper hand. They had initially hoped to break the stalemate from the East Border, but not only had they failed, they had also suffered heavy losses in troops and commanders.

Perhaps creating armies could turn the tide!

The military formation manuals gathering dust in the Blockade Pavilion should also be put to use!

The thought of a future, years from now, where countless armies marched forth, their banners obscuring the sky, conquering all directions with overwhelming momentum, made their hearts surge with excitement.

Even if they had to sell everything they owned, they had to be formed!

At the former site of the Qionghua Holy Land, Jade Snow Gentleman stood at the mountain gate, surveying the surroundings.

Revisiting this old place, the scenery was still captivating. Countless magnificent buildings sat nestled amidst a sea of flowers. Signs of its former, treasure-filled prosperity were still faintly discernible.

It was just a pity that old acquaintances were gone, and past events had dispersed with the wind.

"This place is a royal palace. Who are you?" a Qin soldier on duty asked warily, gripping his sharp weapon tightly.

After they had occupied the Qionghua Holy Land, Guan Yu thought its environment was beautiful. Considering Qin Wudao did not have an imperial villa, he suggested converting the Qionghua Holy Land into a royal palace.

"We are from the Middle Region. Passing by, we were drawn by the beautiful scenery here and came to take a look!" Jade Snow Gentleman replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see!" The Qin soldier breathed a sigh of relief. So, it was just someone admiring the scenery. He had been worried they were remnants of the Qionghua Holy Land.

Confirming there was no threat, the Qin soldier returned to his post at the mountain gate and continued his vigil.

Since the fall of the Qionghua Holy Land, tourists had come to admire the scenery almost every day. As long as they didn’t try to enter, they wouldn’t be driven away.

"Let’s go!" Jade Snow Gentleman said after strolling outside the mountain gate for a while, then vanished into the sky.

The silent Aunt Lan followed closely, her terrifying aura flashing for an instant before vanishing.

After leaving the Qionghua Holy Land, Jade Snow Gentleman did not dally. She traversed dozens of domains in just five days, arriving in the territory of the East Ancient Domain.

Strange! Why do I feel a mysterious power drawing me? Could there be someone I know in the Imperial Capital?

Gazing towards the Imperial Capital, Jade Snow Gentleman’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly.

She had visited the East Border once but had spent most of her time secluded in the Qionghua Holy Land. She had only attended one East Border Grand Ceremony and had not formed deep connections with anyone!

"Destiny has decreed it! The Queen of the Great Qin has finally arrived!"

Inside the State Preceptor’s residence, Gui Guzi stood by the window, a faint smile on his lips.

Eh? Why has the red thread of fate appeared?

In the Imperial Study, Qin Wudao, who was handling official business, suddenly felt his blood flow quicken. Looking down, he discovered the red thread of fate, which was flashing with a dazzling light.

This was the first time in several years that the thread of fate had appeared!

I should go and have a look!

Without much thought, Qin Wudao put down the memorials and crossed the imperial palace. For more chapters visıt novel✶fire.net

"Princess, there’s a red thread on your foot!" Aunt Lan exclaimed, pointing to Jade Snow Gentleman’s right foot.

This is... Jade Snow Gentleman looked down at the reappeared thread of fate, her heart filled with bewilderment. She instinctively drew her sword, intending to cut the red thread, but the blade passed straight through it.

"Princess, let’s follow this red thread and see where it leads!" Aunt Lan squatted down, touched the thread of fate, and studied it for a moment but couldn’t discern its origin. She frowned and said.

Jade Snow Gentleman nodded. With a light tap of her lotus feet, her graceful figure soared into the air, her skirt fluttering as if she were a fairy dancing through the vast sky, captivating the heavens and earth as she flew towards the Imperial Capital.

One flew out, one flew in!

Propelled by the power of destiny, the two young people, bound by fate, drew closer to each other.

A few minutes later, Qin Wudao flew out of the Imperial Capital, while Jade Snow Gentleman arrived just outside it. They faced each other across a distance of several miles, high in the sky.

A red thread of fate connected the two of them!

The heavens and earth suddenly changed!

A mysterious energy burst forth from the thread of fate, dyeing the entire world crimson. High in the sky, a Tree of Fate materialized.

A golden dragon’s shadow flew out from behind Qin Wudao and coiled around the Tree of Fate. Its resounding roar echoed for thousands of miles!

Immediately after, a golden phoenix’s phantom flew from above Jade Snow Gentleman’s head. It soared high, flapping its wings, radiating myriad streaks of golden light as it perched on the Tree of Fate!

A dragon and a phoenix—an auspicious scene of Dragon and Phoenix bringing prosperity!

It was as if the entire world was blessing their encounter!

Such a wondrous spectacle made countless people marvel silently!

"I am Qin Wudao. Dare I ask for the young lady’s esteemed name?" Qin Wudao asked with a smile, his sword-like brows and star-like eyes exuding an extraordinary, refined temperament, like a graceful nobleman, aloof and independent from the world.

"Immortality Mountain, Jade Snow Gentleman!" Jade Snow Gentleman replied with a gentle laugh, her voice warm and elegant. Her smile was like a blossoming flower, causing the surrounding scenery to dim in comparison, as if this world itself favored her unparalleled smile alone.

Both their smiles were exceptionally radiant!

This was their second meeting, yet there was not the slightest unfamiliarity between them, as if they were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together.

Some people are simply destined to be together!

The power of fate is truly wondrous!
