Chapter 577 The Purple Extreme Palace, the True Foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty

Imperial City.

The Purple Palace.

Emperor Yuankang of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Chuan, stood solemnly on the jade steps in front of the palace, dressed in a black imperial robe.

Behind him stood figures, all dressed in dark black or crimson robes, their postures upright and solemn.

Prince Teng, Ying Zhu; Prince Yu, Ying Li; Prince Changping, Ying Jiuchen; Duke Chen, Qin Chengye; and the Duke of the Northern Border, who was stationed at the Great Wall, arrived—four of them.

King Linglan, Ying Chongxiao, and Duke Cheng, Lu Jun, were both entering the Ziji Palace for the first time, and their expressions revealed a hint of nervousness.

Lu Jun clenched his fist slightly, met the gaze of the Prince of Linglan beside him, and both nodded gently.

They understood that if they hadn't reached the Grandmaster level in cultivation, they wouldn't even be qualified to step into the Purple Extreme Palace.

Ahead, Emperor Yuankang bowed slightly.

"Om-"

A resounding boom echoed from the main hall, and a golden light curtain rose up.

The light screen first rippled like water, with illusory light and shadow on it, and then slowly solidified after a while.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the light screen.

"Ying Chuan, a descendant of the royal family, respectfully welcomes all our ancestors."

Emperor Yuankang's voice was respectful.

Everyone behind him bowed in respect.

Without stepping into this grand hall and becoming a true core member of the Qin Dynasty, it's impossible to know the true depth and strength of the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Chongxiao quietly looked up at those figures, his eyes filled with reverence.

"No need for formalities. You are the Emperor of Qin. According to the rules of the royal family, we should pay our respects to you."

A faint voice came from within the light screen.

The golden light screen trembled, and several figures actually bowed slightly.

"According to the rules of the Great Qin, the secular emperor holds power over the nine provinces and is the foundation of the human race..." Ying Chongxiao murmured softly, a hint of emotion appearing on his face.

This is the Qin Dynasty; even the most powerful and unparalleled individuals must submit to the Qin imperial authority.

This ensured that the people of Qin were protected by countless top-tier experts.

This is also why the human race on Yongtian Continent was able to hold the last line of defense even as the Nine Provinces crumbled.

Beside Ying Chongxiao, Duke Lu Jun of Cheng raised his head, his expression subtly changing.

He recognized the figures within those light screens.

He had only seen these people in the secret records of the Censorate.

He hadn't expected that these people were still alive!

Unconsciously, his gaze fell upon the figure in the light screen.

The one clad in the Xuanbing Kuilong Armor, holding the Dingkun Halberd, and sitting alone on the frozen throne, was none other than Ying Wuji, the first King Wu of Qin, who protected the country.

Back then, Ying Wuji used his physical body to block the invasion passage of the Xu Zhou demon race for three thousand years, staining the 30,000-mile-long Xuanbing Great Wall with his blood.

His left eye is embedded with the ten-thousand-year-old ice essence of Yongzhou, and his right arm was forged by an ancient weapon refiner using star-shaped black iron.

It is said that this King Wu of Qin was once at the half-step Celestial Realm, which is above the Grandmaster level.

Later, he used his physical body to permanently suppress the rift in the Nine Continents, and his divine consciousness transformed into a snowstorm that stretched for thousands of miles. He never appeared on Yongtian Continent again.

Lu Jun thought that this powerful figure from 100,000 years ago had already perished, but he never expected that he was still alive.

His gaze shifted to another figure, and Lu Jun unconsciously clenched his fist.

Blood Fiend condensed into twelve blood-red River Styxes that coiled around his body, and the "Soul-Slaying Bell" made from the skulls of seven emperors hung at his waist. This man was clearly Bai Qi, the first Martial Lord of Qin.

He was also the first king of a different surname after the founding of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that this Lord Wu'an was so bloodthirsty that with every step he took, an illusion of the wailing of a million demonic cultivators from Tengzhou would appear beneath his feet.

"The true form of Lord Wu'an is currently suppressed at the bottom of the Sword Tomb in Yangtianzhou, using the sword energy of 100,000 sword cultivators to dissipate the overwhelming evil energy." Prince Teng, Ying Zhu, spoke softly beside Lu Jun.

Yang Tianzhou!
On Yangtian Continent, which is occupied by the Immortal Path, there are actually powerful figures from the Great Qin Dynasty stationed there!
Seemingly noticing the surprise in Lu Jun's eyes, Prince Teng Yingzhu said softly, "The Great Qin embraces all rivers and lakes, not that it truly does not tolerate immortals and Buddhas, but that those immortal and demonic paths regard the human race as ants, and the people of our Great Qin are nothing but weeds."

These words made Ying Chongxiao and the others nod in agreement.

Despite their status and cultivation level, they not only do not reject the paths of immortals and demons, but also draw upon these cultivation methods to refine themselves.

The flourishing of martial arts in the Qin Dynasty was inseparable from the integration of immortal and demonic techniques.

However, the immortals and demons are high above, wanting to enslave the human race and not caring about the lives of mortals. In this situation, the Great Qin has no choice but to fight.

“That is Ying Yuexuan, the Supreme Elder of Tianxuan Sword Pavilion in Yangtianzhou. Aunt Yuexuan has been away from Yongtianzhou for 30,000 years. Now she is the number one person in Tianxuan Sword Pavilion and one of the top ten sword masters in Yangtianzhou.”

"The Moon Spinning Ancestor once severed the Nine-Bend Heavenly River of Yangtianzhou with a single sword."

"The Tianxuan Sword Pavilion secretly controls seventeen immortal cultivation families to cultivate immortal experts for the Great Qin."

Ying Zhu's words drew Lu Jun's attention to the figure shrouded in sword energy.

Her black hair transformed into three thousand sword energies, she stepped on the Yin-Yang fish formation, and behind her floated the phantom images of seven ancient famous swords.

This powerful sword cultivator from Yangtian Continent seemed to sense Lu Jun's gaze and nodded slightly.

Lu Jun quickly turned his gaze away and looked at the others.

Li Chunfeng, the master of Tianji Tower, whose eyes were blindfolded with Xuzhou demon silkworm satin, whose head of white hair was as white as snow, and who held Yongzhou ice jade to refine the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

Ying Jiuqiong, who resides in Tengzhou, has transformed into a powerful figure in the demonic path.

And then there's Zhuang Zhou, the hermit with his flowing white beard and otherworldly air.

"A secluded island, far beyond the Nine Continents, where Master Zhuang Zhou's cultivation has reached an unfathomable level."

Beside Ying Zhu, Prince Changping, Ying Jiuchen, whispered, "Master Zhuang Zhou attained enlightenment through dreams, and his incarnations are found throughout the Nine Provinces. I was fortunate enough to cultivate under his tutelage in the past..."

Without entering the Purple Palace, one cannot know the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty.

These world's top experts, stationed in their respective regions, are the foundation and strength of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Chenzhou is in turmoil, Qingtianzhou is vying for power, and now the Buddhist sects of Liangzhou are also considering war because of the events in Liangyuan."

Within the light screen, Li Chunfeng, holding a jade-colored Zhou Tian Pan in his hand, spoke calmly.

"Although I can influence a region in Liangzhou, I cannot control the overall situation in Liangzhou."

"What benefit would conquering Liangyuan bring to Great Qin?"

Liang Yuanyu is located behind Liangzhou.

The relationship between Buddhism and the Qin Dynasty seems good, but Buddhism ultimately occupies a continent of the Qin Dynasty and shares the fate of immortals and demons.

Ultimately, they were enemies of the Qin Dynasty.

The Buddhist sect's own strength is inferior to that of the immortals and demons. Their cooperation with the Great Qin is merely to resist the invasion of the immortals and demons.

As Li Chunfeng finished speaking, his eyes, covered by silk, turned to Emperor Yuankang.

Emperor Yuankang nodded and said, "The conquest of Liangyuan Domain is not for any other reason than that the Demon-Suppressing Pillar of the Heavenly Suppressing Division is corroded and needs Buddhist energy to be infused to reshape the pillar."

Upon hearing Emperor Yuankang mention the Demon-Suppressing Pillar of the Heavenly Suppressing Division, the expressions of the powerful figures within the light screen became more solemn.

Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This matter does need to be considered. Back then, in order to borrow the power of those ancient demons and monsters, we forged these twenty-eight constellation pillars to support the defense of the imperial city."

"The more resources you borrow, the more risks you take."

"How about I send some Sword Pavilion disciples into Yongtian Continent to kill those demons?" Ying Yuexuan's voice rang out from the light screen.
