Free Web NovelChapter 1680: Chapter 1295: Emperor Shi! The Master of Shakyamuni! [Requesting Monthly Ticket]
Ancient Qin, the most powerful and mysterious of the vassal states, was once a nation that nearly unified the entire Mixed Martial Arts world during the Hundred Countries War.
Whether it was the Divine Martial Country that later rose with the support of the Holy Dynasty or the Ying Country, rumored to have been created by Shakyamuni, a former top alchemist of Qin State, or even the once renowned but now declining Han Country, all pale in comparison to Qin State. This was primarily due to the extraordinary figure of Qin Shi Huang.
It is said that Qin Shi Huang practiced the World Eight Desolate Six Harmonies Skill, fusing his personal Qi Fortune and national fortune into a single cultivation, progressively refining the "Qi, Fate, Luck," thereby maximizing the potential of life and fortune, achieving unity with the heavens and earth, harnessing the mysteries of the universe, and becoming unfathomable.
When Qin State defeated the Six Nations, it was during the peak of Qin’s national fortune, and Qin Shi Huang’s cultivation reached its zenith, becoming the first supreme expert among the Hundred Countries to break into the Breaking Realm.
After eliminating the strongest of the Six Nations, Qin Shi Huang believed himself to embody the "virtue of the Three Emperors and achievements surpassing the Five Emperors," thus adopting the title "Emperor," combining the "Emperor" of the Three Emperors and the "Sovereign" of the Five Emperors, becoming the first ruler in Mixed Martial Arts history to call himself Emperor, reaching the pinnacle of supremacy.
It was not until the Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty emerged using a strategy by the Regent King Long Clan, breaching a gap in the Great Wall and destroying Qin’s Dragon Energy, and then personally striking with the Emperor’s Divine Fist on the battlefield, that Qin Shi Huang’s legendary exploits were finally halted.
However, even though Qin Shi Huang was defeated in that battle, he did not die.
Instead, he later secluded himself in the Imperial Palace, devoting his days to the study of the Immortal Elixir, and spent a vast amount of resources over 39 years to construct the grandiose Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum. This led to rumors among the populace that his death was imminent...
To this day, the Imperial Throne of Qin State has been inherited by Qin Ershi, Huhai.
But rumors have long circulated that Qin Ershi was killed by the treacherous Zhao Gao and could not possibly have survived for thousands of years after Qin Shi Huang.
That the Imperial Throne of Qin State remains vacant yet functions normally is highly likely due to Qin Shi Huang still being alive, secretly influencing and controlling Qin State. The much-criticized burial incident of the tomb was very possibly a successful outcome of the First Emperor’s research into the Secret Technique of immortality, achieving long-term survival by refining the spirits of the living into Earth Servants. Thus, Qin State has never lacked the talent needed to govern the country...
Legends remain legends. After the top alchemist Xu Fu was sent to find the Undying Phoenix and failed, the world has never seen Qin Shi Huang again.
Who would know that today, within Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, the mysterious activity began in the rivers and seas formed of mercury, and the astronomical images on the ceiling seemed to revive, resonating with the stars of the Heavenly Vault outside.
Mountains, lands, and Terracotta Army figures began to ’come alive’ from their sealed state as great familiar power awakened from the depths of the mausoleum, the spectacle astonishing.
"Un...dying... Bird..."
A deep, majestic call, as if a roaring dragon and tiger, suddenly transformed into sound waves emanating from the depths of the tomb.
Where the sound waves passed, dust billowed and spread. Amidst the smoke, crimson points of light flared like flames, revealing the newly awakened eyes of the Terracotta Army figures guarding the tomb. Silently, they reverently knelt, performing the ceremony of subject and sovereign toward the depths of the tomb.
The immense and vast Dragon Energy brewed within the depths of the tomb, as if it would penetrate the heavy stone walls, like a gigantic, formidable True Dragon dormant inside.
The deep voice again issued a command.
"Wang Ben!"
"Thud! Thud!"
The first figure, a robust and imposing Terracotta General with a stern and resolute face, strode forward, kneeling with a thud. Though silent, his unwavering loyalty and admiration for the one inside the tomb were palpable.
"Take my Emperor’s decree, lead one hundred armor-clad, capture Xu Fu, and bring back the blood of the Undying Bird!"
The deep, authoritative voice continued from within the tomb, hesitating briefly as if long slumber had slowed its thoughts, then added, "Life or death doesn’t matter!"
"Hah!"
The Terracotta General promptly accepted the command, his downturned, expressionless eyes suddenly flaring red like two ignited flames. Resolutely, he rose, turned, and led a hundred armor-clad Terracotta Soldiers away.
...
Heavenly Gate, constructed entirely of massive Profound Ice pillars, is a realm in the Void Heavenly Realm, where the ice pillars vary in form, standing upon the ice cavern floor, supporting cavern walls, or hanging down from the dome, shimmering brightly.
Amidst these ice pillars, there sat an ice sculpture through which seemed to flow bright red lava.
This very sculpture was none other than Shakyamuni, who had remained immobile in its form for a day.
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of foreboding.
A troubling anxiety, like a web, ensnared his being, leaving him at a loss.
Yet at this critical moment of resisting the Evil Energy of Phoenix Blood within him, he had no time to scry the danger’s source, forcing him to endure the uneasy restlessness clawing at his mind, swiftly cultivating to suppress the Phoenix Blood’s waning Evil Energy within.
After another two incense sticks’ worth of time, the Phoenix Blood beneath Shakyamuni’s skin, red like coral magma, gradually subsided and calmed.
"Crack!"
"Crack, crack!—"
The ice on the surface of the body split open with several huge cracks, and then "boom," it shattered into countless ice crystals.
"I—Shakyamuni—am back again!"
Shakyamuni raised his hands high and let out an earth-shaking roar, then, with an aged and malevolent gleam in his eye, murmured breathlessly with his head tilted, "What was that dreadful sense of danger just now? Could it be that someone in this vassal state can threaten my life? Was it the Black Wind Village Chief?... No... it shouldn’t be him..."
Suddenly, his face stiffened, fists clenched tightly, muscles bulging, gritting his teeth in extreme anger.
"Transforming blood... you ruined my plans!!!"
The Heart Realm of the Seven No Absolute Realm had unexpectedly become unbalanced again due to this mishap.
After this second imbalance and failure, even he couldn’t guarantee when he could rebuild his Heart Realm.
Thinking of the strong crisis, whose origin was unknown, that he had just foreseen, Shakyamuni’s inclination to come out to personally resolve the Black Wind Village Chief and Wu Ming started to waver again.
Not being able to enter the state of the Seven No Absolute Realm, if he truly encountered any life-threatening danger outside, wouldn’t his extensive life of over a thousand years come to an end?
Yet if he were to let it go, the bizarre martial arts aptitude of the Black Wind Village Chief, comparable to Wu Wudi, was also a great threat not to be ignored.
...
As Shakyamuni was caught in this dilemma, within the still room of the Dragon Tiger Gang, waves of eerie and maddening strange fluctuation continued to spread.
Jiang Dali, with a solemn expression, held the He’s Jade Disc emitting a bizarre green light, his mind entirely focused on it, activating intense strange fluctuations that continued to emanate from the He’s Jade Disc, through his hands, and into the bodies of Ning Su and the other two, pressing their palms onto his chest and back respectively.
Ning Su and the other two had reached a critical point, each feeling their meridians about to burst, their hearts uneasy and restless, their hair standing on end, and all their senses sealed off.
If it weren’t for Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit Power continuously channeling into the ancestral acupoint at the Yintang of the three, keeping them slightly aware, this encounter might have driven them to insanity and suicide.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, they all felt a violent tremor in their minds, unable to hear any of the notifications from the interface, and they all fainted.
"It succeeded..."
Jiang Dali felt relieved, a few lines of sweat trickling down his rugged forehead, just about to put away the He’s Jade Disc when a familiar and intense strange feeling surged up inside him. The He’s Jade Disc, resonating with some peculiar function of the stars and the world, passively activated, immediately drawing his thoughts into a strange scene.
Instantly—an extremely clear and mysterious scene exploded in his mind.
In that scene, within the vast and magnificent dynasty, surrounded by a throng, at the center, a huge palace radiating blinding light like the sun emerged, a tall figure exuding an endless aura of nobility and authority, emanating magnificent Dragon Energy. That billowing Dragon Energy formed a giant golden dragon totem that coiled behind it, intimidating all directions.
"It’s him..."
The once blurred and dusty memories in Jiang Dali’s mind became clear again in an instant, feeling a shudder of horror, understanding that this Emperor must be a Breakthrough Realm expert.
Almost simultaneously, the tall figure made a slight "oh" sound, suddenly opened its eyes to look at Jiang Dali, and the giant golden dragon totem behind it stopped moving, its enormous golden pupils opening, four beams of Extreme Light-like eyes quickly crossing time and space to envelop Jiang Dali.
"Not good!"
Recalling the erasure-like vague memory after being locked on, Jiang Dali immediately attempted to forcibly cut off his connection with the He’s Jade Disc, to avoid a repeat of the past.
Yet at that instant, the once magnificent Emperor quickly dimmed, and even the giant dragon entwined with Dragon Energy behind it bizarrely turned inch by inch into earthen Earth Servants, an uncanny scene to the extreme...
