Chapter 491: Chapter 491
Since their meeting at the city gate, the Jade Snow Gentleman had taken up residence within the Imperial Capital, in close proximity to the royal palace. During their leisure time, Qin Wudao and the Jade Snow Gentleman would exchange letters, admire the flowers in the royal palace, stroll through the bustling streets, and explore the vast lands and waters.
"The Fortune has become even more stable now!"
Within the Imperial Observatory, Yuan Tiangang gazed high into the sky. Deep within his profound pupils, the power of heavenly secrets flickered, piercing through illusory appearances to perceive the underlying truth.
In the vast sea of Fortune, besides the entrenched Golden Dragon of Fortune, there were three other clusters of fortuitous energy! These three clusters were concealed within the purple Fortune, invisible to the naked eye.
The first cluster of Fortune was the most concentrated, representing Qin Wudao’s imperial aura. It crystallized into a miniature Golden Dragon of Fortune, its divine light shimmering, positioned above the other two clusters, highlighting its supreme status.
The second cluster of Fortune was fainter, representing the Empress’s aura of the Jade Snow Gentleman, who was destined to be Qin Wudao’s partner. It condensed into a wispy Golden Phoenix of Fortune, displaying her noble spirit.
The third cluster of Fortune was well-balanced, representing the Fortune condensed by Confucianism. It spread righteous energy throughout the world, suppressing all manner of malevolent spirits.
It was these three clusters of Fortune that stabilized the national Fortune of the Great Qin, maintaining the stability of the realm and ensuring its prosperity for generations to come!
Celestial fate has descended upon the world. The future’s secrets are obscured, and the nation’s Fortune is volatile and unpredictable!
Behind Yuan Tiangang, an old blind man sat cross-legged. A seven-colored light flashed across his sunken eyes, unnoticed by anyone. After joining the Great Qin Saint’s Court, he had remained in the Imperial Observatory, living a reclusive life to the extent that many had forgotten his existence.
"Indeed, fate is unpredictable!" Yuan Tiangang turned, looked directly at the old blind man, and said firmly, "Although I am an astrologer, I believe that humanity can triumph over fate!"
"We shall see," the old blind man replied, the corners of his mouth twitching faintly before he quickly regained his composure.
「Saint’s Court of All Monsters!」
Within the Stone Palace on a sacred mountain, the Demon Emperor sat enthroned, his expression shifting as he examined two intelligence reports in his hand. The expansive hall was filled with powerful experts from various non-human races, numbering over a hundred. All possessed cultivation at the Emperor Realm. Those standing at the forefront, in particular, exuded the aura of the Ten-thousand-year Great Emperor Realm.
"Your Majesty, has something happened?" a white fox standing at the head of the assembly stepped forward and asked. He was exceptionally handsome, his immaculate white fur neatly groomed and radiating a white demonic light. His narrow, red-pupiled eyes held a captivating allure. Most strikingly, he possessed six tails! His name was Hu Qingyue, Clan Leader of the Sky Fox Tribe and Prime Minister of the Saint’s Court of All Monsters, second only to the Demon Emperor himself.

"Qin Wudao has issued a decree to enslave the non-human races in the East Border!" the Demon Emperor stated coldly. His voice, laced with boundless fury, caused the Void beside him to ripple and tremble unceasingly.
"What?!" Hu Qingyue was stunned.
The hall, filled with experts of the non-human races, erupted in an uproar. How dare the Great Qin Saint’s Court enslave non-human races? Are they not afraid that the Saint’s Court of All Monsters will dispatch troops to flatten the East Border?
"Your Majesty, I request permission to dispatch troops and annihilate the Great Qin Saint’s Court!"
"They dare to enslave non-human races! The Great Qin Saint’s Court must be destroyed, and Qin Wudao must be executed!"
One after another, the experts of the non-human races roared. Ferocious and brutal demonic auras surged skyward, blanketing a radius of tens of thousands of miles. The tranquil Void was torn asunder, the earth quaked, and the heavens trembled. Resplendent pillars of demonic light, each a different color, pierced the heavens, visible throughout the entire Beast God Tao Domain. The Beast God Tao Domain was the core territory of the Saint’s Court of All Monsters.
Countless powerful experts of the non-human races raised their heads, roaring mightily. Their roars echoed across dozens of domains in the Middle Region, striking terror into the hearts of neighboring forces and spreading widespread panic.
"Silence!" the Demon Emperor commanded.
The demons retracted their auras, looking at the Demon Emperor with bewildered expressions. At this moment, shouldn’t their supreme Emperor rally them, lead the non-human races’ armies to attack the Great Qin, and rescue their suffering kin? The non-human races, heirs to a terrifying legacy stretching back to ancient times, possessed power far greater than what was apparent on the surface.
"The princess of Immortality Mountain and Qin Wudao share a fated bond," the Demon Emperor said, his fists clenched and his face ashen with unwilling resentment. A fated bond meant they were destined to be together. Qin Wudao will be Immortality Mountain’s chosen son-in-law!
Upon hearing "Immortality Mountain," the assembled demons grew quiet, their brows furrowed. They too held a deep-seated fear of Immortality Mountain.
"Relay my orders: all clans are to prepare for the imminent arrival of the great Fortune manifestation. Open the secret realms and prepare to welcome the descent of our ancestors!" the Demon Emperor commanded coolly. "As for revenge, there is no rush. We will wait until all our ancestors have fully awakened. Then, we shall dispatch our forces to annihilate the Great Qin Saint’s Court!"
"As you command!" The demons bowed in acknowledgement, a flicker of anticipation in their eyes.
Qin Wudao, are you truly an ordinary mortal? Inside the Eternal Temple, the Soul Emperor felt a deep unease upon learning that Qin Wudao and the Jade Snow Gentleman shared a fated bond. Intelligence suggested the rise of the Great Qin Saint’s Court might be connected to the "chess player" who had appeared months prior. However, there was no denying that Qin Wudao’s ascent was nothing short of miraculous.
An ordinary man, ranking among the top three on the ’Immortal Ranking’? An ordinary man, capable of establishing the Great Qin Saint’s Court that dominated the East Border? An ordinary man, destined to be the Jade Snow Gentleman’s partner? All these signs indicated that Qin Wudao was no ordinary person; he undoubtedly concealed some profound secret.
Once the legions are formed, I shall personally go to the Great Qin Saint’s Court, capture Qin Wudao, and scrutinize him thoroughly! the Soul Emperor mused, a glint of killing intent in his eyes.
The primary reason he hadn’t acted immediately was the Jade Snow Gentleman’s presence in the Great Qin Saint’s Court. Before the second wave of the great Fortune manifestation arrived, he was unwilling to provoke Immortality Mountain. After all, who could blame him for being no match for Yu Zun?
「Immortality Mountain!」
Within a magnificent jade palace, Yu Zun sat in a meditative posture, enveloped by an endless starry sky. As his hands formed intricate seals, the myriad stars shifted, outlining a series of images. The images flickered rapidly, depicting the evolution of the Primordial Continent from the mists of the Wilderness Era to the present day, before finally settling on a scene three years in the future.
A unique Spiritual Body materialized in the vision, suspended ten thousand zhang in the air, gazing down upon the vast and beautiful lands, wielding dominion over the nine heavens and ten earths. Around it, the supreme power of the Great Dao coiled!
After scheming from ancient times until now, are you finally about to emerge? Yu Zun contemplated the unique Spiritual Body, murmuring to himself. A keen observer would notice a hint of trepidation and unease in his expression, as if he feared something. And what could possibly frighten him, the foremost expert of the entire Primordial Continent?
The ancestors prophesied that the princess of Immortality Mountain in the Ninth Era would meet her fated partner, and he would be the final sliver of hope! Yu Zun waved his right hand, and the images before him vanished. The scene shifted dizzily, returning him to his ancient, tranquil bedchamber, where fragrant incense smoke curled upwards, calming his mind.
