Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 605 - 579: The Function of Taoist Seal_1
Five days later, Qin Wudao returned to the Imperial Capital with the powerhouses of the Qin Dynasty.
As for the powerhouses of Immortality Mountain, they parted ways with Qin Wudao’s group in the Middle Region, returning to the realm beyond the heavens. However, before leaving, both sides formed an alliance, agreeing to advance and retreat together.
In his bedchamber, Qin Wudao did not rest. He sat cross-legged and began to study the four Dao Seals.
He had a premonition.
The four Dao Seals had many more functions waiting for him to uncover!
For example, the three thousand puppets encountered in the Sea God Palace were quite peculiar. The Sea Clan had lived beneath the sea for generations, primarily comprehending water-based laws. How could they possibly have gathered three thousand Origin Great Emperor Martial Artists, each of whom comprehended the power of different laws? Even if they could, who would be willing to forge three thousand Origin Great Emperors into puppets? Furthermore, the burial effigies in the Sea God Palace’s square—why did they still retain their souls after countless eons of being ’dead’? Even the Sea God himself is a mystery! Why would he self-seal? Did he discover something?
With these doubts, Qin Wudao tried various methods to discover the functions of the Dao Seals, but unfortunately, all ended in failure.
Qin Wudao scratched his head. Strange! Does it require a special method? And is this method known only to the Sea God?
"Young Master, you could try commanding the Dao Seals as their owner!" At this moment, the voice of the Four Incompatible suddenly rang out.
These words brought sudden enlightenment to Qin Wudao.
That’s right! He is already the owner of the Dao Seals!
Prompted by the Four Incompatible, Qin Wudao, as their master, commanded the Dao Seals to reveal their method of use.
In the next instant, a new memory appeared in his mind, detailing the origin and method of use for the Dao Seals.
The Dao Seals originated from the myriad realms and were nurtured by a special form of energy. Their primary purpose was to maintain balance. However, the memory did not specify what they were meant to balance. As for the functions of the Dao Seals, they were numerous: increasing cultivation base, accelerating cultivation speed, enhancing comprehension, generating Origin, evolving the Heavenly Dao...
Generating Origin? Qin Wudao was taken aback.
Following the memory’s instructions, he immediately used the Dao Seals to generate a strand of attributeless Power of an Origin Law, which hovered before him.
Once this Power of an Origin Law manifested, the Fortune of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court diminished by approximately one ten-thousandth.
No wonder the Sea God Palace had three thousand puppets! No wonder the Sea Court only existed for a mere tens of thousands of years before heading towards destruction!
Gazing at the Power of an Origin Law before him, Qin Wudao had a sudden realization; all his previous doubts were resolved. The Sea God, through the ’Exalted Seal,’ discovered the other three Dao Seals. He then built the Sea God Palace and set up a Formation in the Boundless Sea, one that could only be opened by gathering all three specified Dao Seals. As the master of the Dao Seals, the Sea God understood their power and feared that future masters of the Dao Seals would possess immense cultivation strength. To ensure absolute infallibility, he did not hesitate to exhaust the Sea Clan’s Fortune, forging three thousand puppets and an army of millions of burial effigies, all to deplete the strength of any Martial Artists who might enter the Sea God Palace. And the Sea Court, its Fortune exhausted, soon headed for destruction!
He sacrificed the entire Sea Clan for his own selfish interests! Qin Wudao shook his head, deeply disdaining the Sea God’s actions. To wear the crown, one must bear its weight! A qualified monarch, beyond possessing great cultivation, must also protect their country and its people, doing everything in their power to lead the nation to strength.
If the Power of an Origin Law is formed by the Dao Seals, can its attributes also be removed by the Dao Seals? A bold idea struck Qin Wudao.
Without hesitation, he immediately retrieved a strand of water-attribute Power of an Origin Law and activated the Dao Seals, attempting to purge the law’s attributes. He had initially assumed this process would be exceedingly difficult, but it turned out to be unexpectedly smooth. He succeeded in removing the attribute with almost no effort at all.
In just three breaths, the water-attribute Power of an Origin Law had transformed into an attributeless Power of an Origin Law.
Excellent! Qin Wudao gazed at the attributeless Power of an Origin Law before him, immensely delighted.
During their expedition to the Sea God Palace, he and Jade Venerable had each obtained one thousand five hundred strands of Power of Origin Laws. However, due to attribute restrictions, only seventeen of these could be used by the ministers of the Qin Dynasty. In terms of the overall strength of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court, the enhancement was not substantial! But if these one thousand five hundred strands of attribute-bound Power of Origin Laws could all be converted into attributeless Power of Origin Laws, the strength of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court would skyrocket.
At this thought, Qin Wudao was filled with motivation and began converting the remaining strands of Power of Origin Laws.
「Just like that, the night passed.」
When the sun rose, one thousand five hundred and one strands of attributeless Power of Origin Laws were arrayed before Qin Wudao, emitting a soft, gem-like radiance.
Time to attend the morning court session! Qin Wudao rose, stretched lazily, stored the strands of Power of Origin Laws into his personal storage space, and strode out.
Today will be a day of monumental change for the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court!
...
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
In the imperial court, the civil and military officials bowed respectfully, their voices thundering like a tsunami.
"All my ministers may rise!"
Qin Wudao sat upon the imperial throne, clad in a Nine Dragons Emperor Robe. Perhaps due to his advanced cultivation and his status as the master of the Heavenly Dao, the imperial might emanating from him had grown exceptionally potent. As he sat there silently, he seemed like an entire world, vast and boundless, majestic and profound.
The officials rose to their feet and began to report recent events.
"Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang walked to the center of the hall and reported respectfully, "after your departure to the Boundless Sea, two peak Semi-Emperor Martial Artists among the populace disregarded the sacred edict and attempted to break through to the Emperor Realm. They were targeted by heavenly tribulation and perished! Their deaths were inconsequential, but tens of millions of innocent commoners were implicated as a result!"
He continued, "Although the imperial court issued an edict to temporarily halt breakthroughs, the allure of reaching the Emperor Realm is simply too immense, enough to make them disregard the sacred decree and act recklessly."
"We are aware." Qin Wudao’s gaze hardened, his aversion to the Great Dao deepening.
"Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang stated solemnly, "this is a critical period for Martial Artists’ breakthroughs. Postponing them for an extended time has already caused considerable dissatisfaction among many cultivators in the populace. We must devise a solution, or we risk a significant outflow of Martial Artists. Obstructing someone’s cultivation is tantamount to killing their parents! After two rounds of worldly fortune, some Martial Artists with slightly weaker talent arduously broke through to the Quasi-emperor Realm. They were on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm, yet the imperial court decreed a postponement of breakthroughs. Who could accept such a thing? To achieve their breakthrough, their only option is to leave the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court and travel to other territories. Emperor Realm experts are the pillars of a nation! If this problem remains unresolved, over time, a significant loss of powerful experts could jeopardize the very foundations of our dynasty."
"Beloved Minister, rest assured!" Qin Wudao smiled faintly and stated calmly. "We have already found a solution!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
A wisp of supreme Power of the Heavenly Dao emanated from his body, enveloping the entire court hall. With overwhelming dominance, it completely expelled the Power of the Great Dao residing in the Void, transforming the hall as if it were a new realm.
Instantly, the civil and military officials within the hall felt as if they were reborn; a lightness spread through their entire bodies!
"Excellent!" Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Zhao Yun, Yuan Tiangang, and the others exchanged glances, their faces alight with joyous surprise. Without the constraints of the Great Dao, the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court could finally proceed on the correct path.
