Chapter 340: Chapter 345: Returning to the Middle Region_1
"Could it be due to the tide of Spiritual Energy? The increased richness of Spiritual Energy simplifies the complex procedures?" the Ancestral Emperor of the Taiyi Saint’s Court speculated.
The Great Emperors mulled it over and found it reasonable. When the legacy was previously manifested, there was no tide of Spiritual Energy, so any alterations were understandable.
"Stop dwelling on it, the legacy of the Primal Supreme is right before us. Are you interested or not? If you are, send your prodigies in; if not, act as if you’ve never come!" The old ancestor of the Reincarnation Sect, Emperor Reincarnation, rolled his eyes and said.
"Go, of course, we’ll go!"
"Are you joking? These are the Ten Supreme Immortal Experts! How could we not go?"
Emperor Dizang, Ancient Moon Emperor, and others voiced their opinions. The Primal Supreme’s legacy was something they all coveted. If the prodigies of later generations could acquire it, it would virtually secure their opportunity in the Immortal Realm.
The Ten Supreme Immortals were the most powerful experts of the Immortal Realm in ancient times, towering above all other Immortals.
"The barrier outside the space vortex will take some time to completely dissipate. I will leave first!" Emperor Reincarnation gave a slight smile, turned around, and vanished without a trace.
"This Ancestor also has urgent matters to attend to, farewell!"
"We’ll regroup when the barrier completely disappears!"
The gathered Great Emperors departed, each with an unspoken objective: to prepare their prodigies for the contest over the Primal Supreme’s legacy.
Aside from the Holy Lands in the Middle Region, Holy Lands in the other four regions also turned their attention towards the Primal Supreme’s legacy and took action.
Normally, there is a convention on the continent regarding legacies: whenever a legacy from ancient times appears, it is divided by region. For example, if a legacy appears in the East Border, only the powers of the East Border can enter; powers from other regions do not qualify.
This agreement, established in the Third Era, is called the Territorial Legacy Pact, its purpose being to reduce warfare.
Take the previous legacy of Kunlun Supreme as an example: only powers from the East Border participated.
But this time, it was different. The Primal Supreme was one of the Ten Supreme Immortals and also the Immortal with the greatest combat strength. Indeed, even the name of the continent was derived from the Primal Supreme’s honorary title.
"Amitabha, the Primal Supreme has a predestined relationship with my Buddha!"
In the West Territory, Abbot Ru Yuan of the Thunder Sound Temple put his palms together and spoke with great compassion.
"Amitabha!"
Countless Buddhas recited the Dharma name with smiles on their faces, as if they were performing a very sacred act.
If you were to translate their incantations, it would mean that the Primal Supreme’s legacy belongs to the Thunder Sound Temple and to Buddhism.
In the North Territory, the disputes between the Lustrous Sacred Land and Snow’s Saint’s Court also ceased. After their ancestors met, they took their prodigies and headed straight to Bull Head Mountain in the Middle Region.
The Star Constellation Pavilion was no exception. Their prodigies, under the leadership of a Ten-thousand-year Emperor, entered the Middle Region.
In the South Territory, the Saint Dragon Valley, Demon Saint Temple, Heretic God Sect, and Witch Sword Faction temporarily put their disagreements aside. Each dispatched a Ten-thousand-year Emperor Martial Artist to enter the Middle Region with a high profile.
The Holy Lands in the Middle Region protested against the actions of the powers from these three territories, but they were ignored by all parties.
In the face of the Primal Supreme’s legacy, all rules, all pacts, everything was disregarded.
Seeing their protests were ineffective, the Holy Lands of the Middle Region had no choice but to tacitly allow the entry of all powers. They were well aware of the Primal Supreme’s legacy’s irresistible allure.
No one could resist this temptation!
The Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court was no exception. Everyone’s attention was focused on the Primal Supreme’s legacy.
Last time, Qin Wudao obtained Kunlun Supreme’s legacy, and a large amount of cultivation resources greatly boosted the Qin Dynasty’s strength.
"Your Majesty, shall we go?" Jia Xu asked respectfully, clasping his hands.
Qin Wudao nodded, gazing at the eastern sky without a hint of hesitation. "Of course, we shall go!"
He also yearned to acquire the Primal Supreme’s legacy.
Currently, the Thousand Monster Saint’s Court, the Purple Cloud Holy Land, and the Jade Flower Holy Land had already shown an aggressive stance to attack the Kylin Holy Land. Perhaps their next target would be the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court.
From a geographical perspective, the territories of the Thousand Monster Saint’s Court, Purple Cloud Holy Land, and Jade Flower Holy Land blocked the westernmost part of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court. If the Qin Dynasty wished to expand, it would first have to eliminate these three powers.
The Primal Supreme’s legacy was an opportunity for the Qin Dynasty to leapfrog its progress.
"Zhuge Liang, Huo Qubing, hear my orders!" Qin Wudao shouted.
"Your subjects are here!" Two figures stepped forward.
"In two days, I will head to the Middle Region. During my absence, matters of military and state affairs will be decided by the two of you in consultation!" Qin Wudao ordered loudly.
"As you command!" Zhuge Liang and Huo Qubing replied.
Huo Qubing’s tone, however, was slightly tinged with disappointment. He also wanted to follow Qin Wudao to the Middle Region, but unfortunately, he was left behind.
But he was not surprised. The Qin Dynasty only had two Great Emperors of Old: him and Li Yuanba. But since Li Yuanba was not versed in military affairs, he naturally couldn’t be the one left to guard.
"Li Yuanba, hear my order! You shall accompany me to the Middle Region!" Qin Wudao raised his head and commanded solemnly.
"As you command!"
Li Yuanba stepped forward, his face alight with excitement.
"Your Majesty, I request to accompany you!"
Suddenly, Guo Jia stepped forward, his expression solemn and exceedingly serious.
"Granted!"
Qin Wudao was momentarily taken aback. Seeing the firm look on Guo Jia’s face, he agreed without hesitation.
「Almost at the same time.」
The Kylin Holy Land, Thousand Monster Saint’s Court, Purple Cloud Holy Land, and Jade Flower Holy Land all held meetings and decided to head to the Middle Region.
Each domain typically had a prodigy with a special constitution. After the East Border was occupied by the five Holy Lands, many such individuals emerged from the region and were listed on the Immortal List.
The Kylin Holy Land assembled a team of sixteen young prodigies, led by Ancestor Wanlin.
The Thousand Monster Saint’s Court assembled a team of twenty-three young prodigies, led by the Water Bear Emperor.
The Purple Cloud Holy Land and Jade Flower Holy Land sent teams of nineteen and twenty young prodigies, respectively, led by Star Emperor Kaiyang and Ancestor Rong.
As for the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court, Qin Wudao led a team of twelve. Among them were Li Yuanba and Guo Jia; the remaining ten were young prodigies.
Without exception, all the prodigies brought by the five Holy Lands were famous individuals on the Immortal List, totaling eighty-nine people!
This made it clear that the number of prodigies in the East Border was far less than in the other regions.
「Headed due west!」
They ventured through high mountains and flowing waters, and rode spatial wormholes. After three days of travel, they finally reached the East Border and arrived outside a majestic city.
This city was none other than White City.
Qin Wudao and his people checked into an inn. In the evening, he took Li Yuanba and Guo Jia to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Honestly, the ten prodigies accompanying him, though they had sworn allegiance to the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court, had not yet fully gained Qin Wudao’s trust and thus weren’t qualified to learn core secrets.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhang Jiao and Sima Yi had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing Qin Wudao, they hurriedly paid their respects.
"Please, rise!"
Qin Wudao walked forward with a smile and began to observe the two.
Since he last left, their cultivation had undergone earth-shaking changes. Both had reached the peak of the Semi-Emperor Realm, just a step away from becoming Great Emperors.
This amazed him. Zhang Jiao and Sima Yi were far away in the Middle Region and had to rely on themselves for everything. They rarely received cultivation resources from the Qin Dynasty.
