Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 629 - 603: Massive Rewards_1

With 'Jie' gone, the battle that would decide the continent's hegemon came to a temporary halt. Qin Wudao retracted his aura. His figure flickered as he sat on the main seat of the high platform. His face was icy, radiating a murderous aura as he gazed down upon the numerous Sacred Land leaders.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

The hearts of the many Sacred Land leaders trembled. Holding surrender documents, they raised them above their heads and respectfully saluted.

"You may all rise!"

Seeing this, Qin Wudao's gloomy expression softened slightly. Although he hadn't found the Great Dao's hiding place, forcing over ten Sacred Lands to submit was not a worthless gain. Besides, how could finding the Great Dao's sanctuary be so easy?

Guo Jia stepped forward, collected the surrender documents, and placed them before Qin Wudao.

"Issue the decree," Qin Wudao majestically commanded after reviewing the surrender document of the Nine-Level Saint's Court and stamping it with the Jade Seal. "Confer upon Dongfang Wendao the title of Viscount, to be passed down through generations, sharing in the fate of Great Qin!"

He naturally had to treat these Sacred Lands that submitted later differently. He only conferred upon them the title of Viscount, a rank lower than that given to Gu Tian and Ice Jade Soul.

Dongfang Wendao raised his head, a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Viscount! He offered up a Saint's Court and countless miles of territory, only to receive the title of Viscount. Isn't this too cheap?

The expressions of the All-Demon Old Ancestor, Emperor of Dry Bones, and others also turned grim.

"I gave you all a chance!" Qin Wudao announced coldly, seated on high, clearly observing everyone's expressions.

Had the various Sacred Lands surrendered willingly, the rewards I would have bestowed would have surpassed an Earldom; I might have even granted them governorship over a region, not merely a titular peerage. But now, I feel even a Viscounty is too generous! With the might of the Great Qin Saint's Court, did we even need these Sacred Lands to surrender? They could have been conquered directly. However, such an approach would result in numerous innocent civilian deaths, something I do not wish to see.

"This humble servant... accepts the decree!" Dongfang Wendao was taken aback. A bitter smile touched his lips as he accepted the reward.

Seeing that even the most powerful Dongfang Wendao had yielded, the remaining Sacred Land leaders dared not resist and obediently accepted their decrees.

Soon, only Chu Renjie remained unrewarded. Qin Wudao did not hesitate and ordered loudly, "Issue the decree! Chu Renjie has rendered meritorious service. He is renowned throughout the continent as the Pill Saint and has aided the Great Qin Saint's Court multiple times. I have not forgotten his contributions. He is hereby ennobled as Marquis Xiaodan and appointed Deputy Pavilion Master of the Elixir Pavilion!"

Deputy Pavilion Master of the Elixir Pavilion—a second-rank official! Combined with the Marquisate, currently the highest conferred rank, Chu Renjie's status was sufficient to place him among the top ten individuals in the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Renjie saluted respectfully, under the envious gazes of the other Sacred Land leaders.

The distinction between sovereign and subject was clear. Although he was Qin Wudao's sworn brother, he now also bore the identity of a subject and needed to observe the proper etiquette.

BOOM!

For a time, mournful dragon roars echoed across the firmament of the Primordial Continent, shaking the cosmos. Countless Martial Artists shed tears. They mourned fallen nations, exterminated clans, and shattered sects...

"ROAR!"

Above the Great Qin Saint's Court, in the sky over the Imperial Capital, the Fortune Golden Dragon emitted a joyful roar. Its massive maw opened, indiscriminately devouring all the streams of Fortune. The Sea of Fortune churned, expanding relentlessly like a true ocean.

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Ice Snow Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: 'Guardian Divine Pattern'!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Star Constellation Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: 'Stargazing Map of All Heavens'!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Holy Dragon Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: 'Ancestor Dragon Orb'!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Demon Saint Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: Scholar-General Zhou Yu. Summon?"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Nine-Level Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: Jiang Ziwen. Summon?"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Earth Store Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: Xuanzang. Summon?"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Foreign God Dao Domain. Sign-in reward: 'Thunder God Divine Pattern'!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying..."

On the high platform, Qin Wudao's lips curved slightly. Hearing the system's prompts, he was exhilarated.

Without a doubt, this was the most bountiful reward he had ever received.

In total, he had received nineteen Saint-level Dao Domain rewards and over a hundred Ancient-level Dao Domain rewards. These included three individuals: Zhou Yu, Jiang Ziwen, and Xuanzang!

There were two Divine Patterns: the Guardian Divine Pattern and the Thunder God Divine Pattern! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

There were also numerous other miscellaneous rewards.

However, the sole regret was that the Nine Provinces Cauldron, which Qin Wudao had long coveted, had still not been summoned.

"System, display the information for Zhou Yu, Jiang Ziwen, and Xuanzang!" Qin Wudao instructed the system internally.

Name: Zhou Yu!

Cultivation Level: Peak of the Supreme Emperor Realm!

Cultivation Technique: Rupture Fire Sky Burning Mantra!

Brief Introduction: A military strategist, politician, tactician, and renowned general of Eastern Wu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who served as Grand Commandant.

Achievements: Assisted in pacifying Jiangdong, developed Jingzhou, defeated Cao Cao at the Battle of Red Cliffs, oversaw the annihilation of Huang Zu, advised against sending hostages, and proposed the strategy to conquer Yizhou. One of the primary architects of Eastern Wu's military successes and its establishment as a regional power, lauded as "A hero gallant and bold in this world, a handsome and distinguished man from Jiangzuo."

Unfortunately, Heaven was jealous of his talent, and he died at only thirty-six. Otherwise, the history of the Three Kingdoms might have been rewritten! Qin Wudao mused after reading Zhou Yu's introduction.

He then began to access the information on Jiang Ziwen.

Name: Jiang Ziwen!

Cultivation Level: Quasi-emperor Realm (sealed)!

Cultivation Technique: Dark God Mantra!

Divine Skills: ???

Brief Introduction: During the Three Kingdoms period, he was consecrated as the god of Zhongshan. During the reign of the Marquis of Donghun in the Southern Qi Dynasty, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Zhuangwu. Later, he was assigned to the underworld, becoming King Qin Guang of the First Hall of the Ten Halls of Yama!

His cultivation is sealed, and his Divine Skills are hidden... This Jiang Ziwen is rather mysterious!

Qin Wudao was slightly taken aback, a gleam in his eyes, as he curiously asked, "System, why isn't Jiang Ziwen's information fully displayed?"

"DING! Jiang Ziwen is one of the Ten Yama Kings. His Divine Power would destabilize this world, so it has been temporarily sealed. It will gradually be unsealed after the Host establishes the Heavenly Court."

So, that's it! Qin Wudao had a sudden realization.

The Ten Yama Kings! Deities of the underworld, they govern the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation for all souls. The current Great Qin Saint's Court is merely a mortal empire, lacking even a single Immortal. Naturally, it cannot summon a true deity. To put it bluntly, even if an unsealed Jiang Ziwen could be summoned, the current Primordial Continent couldn't withstand the pressure of a deity.

Anticipating Jiang Ziwen's power once unsealed, Qin Wudao turned his attention to the final figure: Xuanzang!

A figure who existed in both history and legend!

Name: Xuanzang!

Cultivation Level: Peak of the Supreme Emperor Realm!

Cultivation Technique: Great Sun Tathagata Sutra!

Brief Introduction: A famous Tripitaka Master of the Tang Dynasty; founder of the Faxiang (Yogācāra) school of Buddhism, and one of the most eminent translators in the history of Chinese Buddhism.

Two peak Supreme Emperor Realm Martial Artists and one deity! Not bad! Not bad at all!

Qin Wudao sat on the main seat, nodding with satisfaction. His unconscious actions caused the Sacred Land leaders to exchange perplexed glances. What is he doing? Why is he suddenly nodding?

Suddenly, a pillar of black and red light shot skyward, unleashing a tremendous demonic and divine power that nearly overturned the high platform. Everyone present felt immense pressure.

Hmm? Is he about to break through?

Noticing the commotion, Qin Wudao turned to look, a slight smile playing on his lips.

On the shattered ground, Lv Bu sat cross-legged. His body appeared bifurcated: his left side was enveloped in eerie, terrifying demonic energy, while his right side radiated a sacred, comforting divine power.

"Break!"

Suddenly, Lv Bu opened his eyes; one eye turned black, the other red. His cultivation surged as he successfully broke through to the Supreme Emperor Realm.

RUMBLE!

Above the nine heavens, thunderclouds gathered.

"Your servant thanks Your Majesty for this gift!" Lv Bu respectfully saluted Qin Wudao, his heart filled with gratitude, ignoring the heavenly thunder.

Only after receiving the inheritance did he truly understand its terrifying power.

His Majesty's grace is as vast as a mountain! It is beyond repayment! This was his heartfelt sentiment.

"Go, face your tribulation!" Qin Wudao waved his hand with a smile and said nonchalantly.

"As you command!"

Lv Bu rose, gripped his Square Heaven Halberd, and charged towards the thunderclouds.

"Issue the order: once General Lv successfully overcomes his tribulation, the army is to return to the capital immediately..."
