Chapter 1479 - 1470: Luo Hou’s Scheme

Chapter 1479: Chapter 1470: Luo Hou’s Scheme

After summoning Shang Yang and Han Feizi, in the hundreds of times that followed, Qin Wudao’s luck seemed to have run out, with no more characters or legacies appearing.

Regarding this, Qin Wudao, though somewhat disappointed, accepted it calmly.

One must know contentment.

Time passed leisurely.

Thirty years passed during the Qin Dynasty’s expansion outward.

Thirty years!

During this period, which is neither long nor short, many events occurred in the Qin Dynasty.

In the first year, Han Feizi successfully broke through to the Three Knowledge Realm.

In the second year, Di Renjie and Ran Min emerged from seclusion, and Qin Wudao appointed Ran Min to form the seventeenth legion.

In the fifth year, the Qin Dynasty occupied a thousand intermediate universes, becoming a colossal entity among them and drawing the attention of high-level cosmic forces.

In the tenth year, Qin Wudao announced the ’Prodigy List’, consisting of a thousand young talents from the Qin Dynasty, with rewards for those on the list.

In the fifteenth year, Han Feizi, Shang Yang, and Di Renjie declared seclusion to research the new laws of the Qin Dynasty.

In the twenty-fifth year, Qin Wudao broke through to the Molding Dao Realm, comprehending the power of the fifth dimension and reversing the origin.

In the thirtieth year, the Qin Dynasty occupied over four thousand intermediate universes.

Apart from these major events, subtle changes also took place within the Qin Dynasty.

Firstly, the strength of the Qin people rapidly increased, with everyone breaking through to the Dao Saint Realm, achieving true immortality.

Secondly, the fiefdoms expanded in size, with Liu Che’s Han Country being the largest, holding twenty intermediate universes and thousands of low-level universes. Even the weakest fourth-tier vassal state possessed one intermediate universe and hundreds of low-level universes.

Lastly, after thirty years of fierce competition, the ’Prodigy List’ was officially established with a thousand prodigies, most of whom were from the Qin people.

The remaining small portion came from the descendants of ancient powers in the intermediate universes who submitted to the Qin Dynasty.

These prodigies were very young, all under ten thousand years old.

But their cultivation levels were not low at all, with even the weakest reaching the Unity Realm Stage, and a very few breaking through to the rule domain.

Martial Artists at the rule domain under ten thousand years.

Although they couldn’t compete with Qin Wudao, they were extremely rare even among intermediate universes.

"Not bad!"

In the imperial study, Qin Wudao was flipping through the names on the Prodigy List, a smile appearing on his face.

The development of the Qin Dynasty cannot rely solely on one generation.

Qin Wudao was also very concerned about nurturing the next generation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have set up the ’Prodigy List’!

He hoped to use the ’Prodigy List’ to see the strength of the younger generation, discover more prodigies, and nurture them to assist the next emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Qin Wudao paused his actions. ℯℯ𝑙.

He directly put on a mask of pain.

He suddenly realized.

He didn’t have a son yet.

"I’m not reading anymore!"

Qin Wudao casually tossed the register on the table, losing interest in handling state affairs, and strode towards the harem.

At this time, in the Phoenix Ritual Palace, the Jade Snow Gentleman was sitting on a recliner, holding an ancient book. Her willow eyebrows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, engrossed in her reading.

Suddenly, she felt herself being picked up, and in her fright, the book fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

The Jade Snow Gentleman quickly looked up and found herself in Qin Wudao’s arms. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

"To have a son!"

Qin Wudao said, carrying the Jade Snow Gentleman to the bed.

In the following days, the civil and military officials noticed a peculiar phenomenon: not only was the morning court canceled, but the Emperor was also nowhere to be found.

This had never happened in a thousand years!

...

Nine Departure Universe.

In a certain uninhabited starfield, a fissure opened.

A figure wrapped in a black robe, enshrouded in Demonic Qi, flew out from the spatial crack and landed on a dead star, looking westward with an extremely gloomy expression.

This person was none other than Luo Hou.

Since the Qin Dynasty’s outward expansion began, he was forced into exile, fleeing through thousands of universes to this place.

Ironically, his ability for a cosmic escape was thanks to the fortune generated by the Qin Dynasty’s advancement, causing his strength to soar to the Peak of the Creation Realm.

"Damn Qin Dynasty!"

"Once I reach the high-level universe, it will be your end!"

Moments later, Luo Hou retracted his gaze, muttering curses as he tore through the starry sky, preparing to head to the next universe.

But in the next second, his expression changed drastically, for he found that at some point, the surrounding void had been sealed.

It couldn’t be torn open!

"Who?"

Luo Hou, full of vigilance, looked around, Demonic Qi surging in his palm, condensing into a battle spear, its cold gleam flashing, he stood in a state of readiness.

His first thought was that a powerful figure of the Qin Dynasty had come to hunt him down.

But he quickly dismissed his guess.

From his knowledge of the Qin Dynasty, if they had discovered his whereabouts, they would have taken direct action, not just simply sealing the void.

"Why would your arrival at the high-level universe spell the end for the Qin Dynasty?"

At this moment, a cold voice echoed, reverberating across the starfield, as if coming from a distance, yet exploding in the ears, magical and mystifying.

A powerhouse!

An invincible powerhouse!

"Senior, do you bear a grudge against the Qin Dynasty?"

Luo Hou’s pupils shrank sharply. Taking a few deep breaths to muster courage, he asked.

Bang!

But in response, he received a finger-strike, tearing through the void, severing the star river, carrying an irresistible might, landing on him.

"Puff!"

Luo Hou spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying hundreds of miles, and when he stopped, his body shattered inch by inch, leaving only a soul.

"Spare me, Senior!"

This left Luo Hou both shocked and frightened, kneeling on the ground in haste.

"I ask, you answer, not the other way around!"

The mysterious voice resounded.

"Yes!"

Luo Hou replied in terror, "I have a way to overthrow the Qin Dynasty!"

At this point, the void before him shattered, and a figure in a red robe emerged. The person was You Hu Fa, who calmly asked, "What way? Tell me, and I’ll spare your life!"

Luo Hou’s expression changed several times.

After a moment’s hesitation, he answered, "Senior, the Qin Dynasty possesses several volumes of the Dao Manuscript. I intend to go to the high-level universe and spread the word that the Qin Dynasty has the Dao Manuscript, thus using others to eliminate them..."

He kept his head down, not noticing the dramatic change in You Hu Fa’s expression.

"Dao Manuscript!"

You Hu Fa whispered, his face flushed with excitement.

For beings of the low and intermediate universes, the Dao Manuscript is merely a cultivation technique, a legacy for a force, not enough to drive one mad.

But for beings of the high and ultimate universes, the Dao Manuscript is the foremost treasure of the endless cosmos!

Because the creator of the Dao Manuscript is the founder of the existing cultivation civilization!

It’s rumored that within the Dao Manuscript lies the method to break through to the Order Realm!

Order Realm!

Across the endless cosmos, only the master of the Dao Manuscript has reached it.

Since the mysterious disappearance of the master of the Dao Manuscript a hundred billion years ago, the cultivation civilization of the endless cosmos has stagnated, with the strongest like the master of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and the master of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall only reaching half-step Order Realm.

Breaking through to the Order Realm seemed infinitely distant.

"If I tell Lord that the Qin Dynasty possesses the Dao Manuscript, considering Lord’s nature, he will undoubtedly act against the Qin Dynasty..."

You Hu Fa murmured to himself.

He gave up the thought of seizing the Dao Manuscript because he was too far from the Order Realm; breaking through to the Causality Realm in this lifetime would make him content.

Moreover, even if he seized the Dao Manuscript, he couldn’t guard it.

The question remained, how many volumes of the Dao Manuscript did the Qin Dynasty possess!
