Free Web NovelChapter 1681: Chapter 1296: Remote Exchange with the Eternal Emperor! [Monthly Ticket Bonus Short Chapter]
"You... familiar young man... it seems that the Imperial Jade Seal I made with He’s Jade Disc in those days is still in your hands... you’ve actually broken through to the Returning to Truth? Could it be, that since the last time, I’ve rested for quite a long period?"
Just as the mysterious and majestic emperor and the dragon energy behind him all turned into earth texture, a deep and solemn voice softly echoed in Jiang Dali’s mind.
"The few of us...?"
Jiang Dali was puzzled by this strange self-designation, suddenly his heart shook, and he was greatly surprised, "Throughout the history of the Mixed Martial Arts World, many monarchs referred to themselves as ’the few of us’. Back in the Spring and Autumn Period, vassal state rulers often addressed themselves this way, and the weaker ones would refer to themselves as ’I alone’...
But the real emperor who referred to himself as ’the few of us’ later on, there was only one... and with the Imperial Jade Seal made with He’s Jade Disc, could it be, he is Qin Shi Huang?"
In the midst of internal shock and astonishment, Jiang Dali focused his mind, wanting to "see clearly" the mysterious emperor that had condensed into an earth servant in his mind, gathering miracle techniques, silently observing the opponent’s spirit.
However, no matter how he focused his mind to "see", the opponent’s face was always blurred, as if separated from him by a shimmering ice wall, unable to discern the specific features.
Clearly, this should be a method of a Breakthrough Realm expert, who, when unwilling to be seen, creates a sense of being close yet far as the end of the world.
"Young man, which country do you belong to?"
At this time, the deep and solemn voice was heard again.
Jiang Dali slowly regained his composure, and as the calm of the Black Wind Village Chief, the top master of the current era, returned to him, he immediately communicated through spiritual waves.
"I am a person of the vassal state Song Country, senior, you refer to yourself as ’the few of us’, and say that the Imperial Jade Seal made with He’s Jade Disc belongs to you. Could it be, you are Qin Shi Huang?"
"Song Country person?"
The emperor seemingly closed his eyes slowly in thought, after a while, he spoke with a smile and authority, "It has been many years since someone spoke with me so calmly, young man, you are the first.
Speaking of your Song Country, I remember now, in my memory, this country was just a very weak small country, yet it produced someone like you... indeed, heroes are not asked their origins."
Jiang Dali was slightly surprised, not expecting Qin Shi Huang to be so approachable without airs, even exchanging mutual flattery, completely unlike the rumored image of a serious, stern, and domineering ruler. He immediately followed with a polite remark.
The two identified themselves and chatted for a while.
Qin Shi Huang’s tone regained its calm authority, saying.
"Since you’ve broken through to the Returning to Truth Realm, you qualify to be a king and overlord even in my Qin State, and indeed have the qualification to know me. This time, I won’t forcefully seal your memory, but I also request that you not frequently use the Imperial Jade Seal to avoid disturbing my slumber often."
Jiang Dali mused internally, "So, the Imperial Jade Seal made with He’s Jade Disc is the key to the door of Qin Shi Huang’s sleeping chamber?
Previously, after accidentally establishing contact with Qin Shi Huang, I faced a closed door, even having related memories sealed by him, only for them to gradually restore after breaking through to the Returning to Truth Realm as my strength increased...
Wanting to meet Qin Shi Huang indeed requires enough strength and qualification, it’s realistic alright."
Anyway, he hadn’t suffered a loss, and wouldn’t have many chances to use He’s Jade Disc going forward.
Through numerous uses, he had also analyzed that not every time he used He’s Jade Disc would this emperor be disturbed, and just as Jiang Dali was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something, and swiftly communicated from his mind.
"Agreeing to Your Majesty’s request isn’t difficult, but actually, I have one more thing I’d like Your Majesty to confirm."
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi Huang’s tone noticeably started to show some impatience and chill.
The reason he was willing to talk so much with Jiang Dali was not only because upon waking this time he sensed the traces of the Undying Bird, feeling in a good mood, but also because Jiang Dali was a strong Returning to Truth Realm expert.
Experts of this level, even during the heyday of Qin State, were considered generals, not saying they needed deference, but at least they received a degree of respect, yet this still didn’t justify the opposite party’s reason to disturb him repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dali’s next words immediately made Qin Shi Huang’s spirit shake.
"Your Majesty once recruited an alchemist named Xu Fu to find the whereabouts of the Undying Bird Fire Phoenix, didn’t you? But later, although this Xu Fu found the Phoenix, he betrayed Your Majesty due to the temptation of eternal life..."
"You actually know about this?"
Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment, then promptly regained his calm, understanding that although Qin State, in those years, was defeated, it was still the proverbial dead camel bigger than a horse, being watched by many countries was normal, and the affairs spreading till today made it not surprising for the Black Wind Village Chief to know.
The key was why the other party would ask about Xu Fu at this time.
Connecting to the previously sensed movement of the Undying Bird, Qin Shi Huang’s impatience somewhat subsided, continuing to listen to Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali saw that Qin Shi Huang was not only non-denying but also very interested.
Immediately realized that this eternal first emperor had not let go of past events, and perhaps wasn’t fully clear about Shakyamuni creating havoc among the vassal states.
At this point, he told the other party all he knew and had learned about Shakyamuni.
Not expecting this somewhat strangely communicating Qin Shi Huang via He’s Jade Disc to take action against Shakyamuni, just hoping perhaps the emperor could reveal more about Shakyamuni’s information and weaknesses.
At the very least, by the principle of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he kept a good relationship with this eternal emperor, which would help future developments in Qin State...
Even, when he would go to the Holy Dynasty in the future, perhaps he could use He’s Jade Disc to communicate with Qin Shi Huang from afar, learning some important strong individuals’ information about the Holy Dynasty through this "Fierce Emperor" who had arm-wrestled with the Holy Dynasty’s Holy Emperor...
