Chapter 957 951: Dragon-Slaying Technique
On a nine-tiered platform.
Qin Wudao radiated golden light from his entire body, tightly clenching his fists, emanating eternal power, the fists of the masses, the will of all beings, the strength of the entire nation.
The force that erupted was far stronger than the power of ultimate principles.
Behind him, the Seraphic image of the Celestial Emperor stood upright, clad in imperial robes, supreme and majestic, with infinite authority, governing the nine heavens and ten earths, overseeing countless worlds.
Gradually, strands of celestial power appeared, passing through the sky, gathering above the head of the Celestial Emperor's Seraphic image, slowly unfurling into a magnificent scroll.
Within the scroll, the territorial map of the Qin Dynasty's celestial court emerged.
Countless citizens of the Qin Dynasty raised their right hands, offering their most devout celestial power.
"National Cohesion Map!"
Many mighty figures witnessing the event exclaimed in awe at the celestial power gathering from all directions, enough to obscure the sun, inhaling sharply in astonishment.
Numerous kings in attendance were twisted with jealousy.
That was the National Cohesion Map!
A divinely bestowed artifact!
During the celestial upgrade, only a rare few kings with literary and martial prowess had hope of manifesting the Celestial Emperor's Seraphic image to enhance their combat strength.
And during the upgrade to the Immortal Court, a king possessing the Celestial Emperor's Seraphic image could, with the allegiance of over ninety percent of the citizens, manifest the National Cohesion Map to stabilize the empire.
As for the function of the National Cohesion Map, it cannot be directly used in combat.
It leans more towards assistance.
Through the National Cohesion Map, a king can monitor the nation's cultivation environment, celestial minerals, natural disasters, opportunities...
Extremely convenient!
"The cohesiveness of the Qin Dynasty's celestial court is truly terrifying!"
A clan leader from a small faction said bitterly.
Across all the heavens and worlds, how many countries possess a National Cohesion Map?
No more than ten!
To have the allegiance of over ninety percent of the citizens is such an exaggerated figure?
Even within the same group, there will be multiple branches vying for power and profit, unable to unite as one, let alone a country composed of different forces?
After all, human hearts are changeable!
"Quick!"
"Transmit the news of the Qin Dynasty's celestial court manifesting the National Cohesion Map back to the clan!"
Undercover spies' faces changed again, quickly issuing commands.
Many forces hostile to the Qin Dynasty's celestial court were stern-faced, eyes gleaming coldly, deeply apprehensive.
"National Cohesion Map!"
Qin Wudao looked up at the thousand-mile National Cohesion Map, eyes flashing with divine light, somewhat surprised.
But upon thinking it over, he felt it was normal.
Firstly, the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's celestial court is the Qin people, loyally advancing from the 'Realm of Mundane Dust' to the seventh heaven; it's not an exaggeration to say they are his die-hard supporters.
Secondly, the court values Qin people, encourages childbirth, and in the currently diverse Qin Dynasty's celestial court, they still retain significant importance.
Lastly, the politics of the Qin Dynasty are clear and upright, without oppressive taxes, establishing academies, spreading teachings nationwide, even treating tribes surrendering to the Qin as equals, without discrimination.
Looking across all heavens and worlds, in terms of benevolence towards the populace, the Qin Dynasty's celestial court dares to claim first.
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
The ministers governing the Qin Dynasty's celestial court are capable officials like Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Guo Jia, Wang Yangming, and others.
Any one of them could govern a country and create a flourishing era.
Not to mention governing together?
"Next step, it's time to blast open the Immortal Gates!"
Qin Wudao murmured to himself.
But suddenly, a change occurred.
Within the Imperial Capital, nine incomparably long black beams shot skyward, emitting evil gases, forming a Formation that shrouded the sky for ten thousand miles.
On each black beam, countless profound golden texts appeared, all were impressive literary works.
However, these works were not used for enlightening the world or nurturing talents.
All they contained was sealing, restraining, decay, evil...
The sky suddenly darkened!
Even the Immortal Gates were blocked outside.
"To upgrade to the Immortal Court, you must pass this ancestor's trial!"
An extremely elegant voice sounded.
Beneath the Formation, a hundred-foot-tall humanoid figure appeared.
This was the Book Ancestor's Seraphic image!
On the Book Ancestor's Seraphic image's head, a holy book floated, emitting dazzling divine light, abundant literary essence, and mighty scholarly aura.
"Dragon Slaying Technique!"
This sudden change left all the mighty figures observing the event stunned momentarily, then they reacted, displayed visible disgust.
"Courting death!"
From the main seat of the observing guests, the Azure Emperor raged, Imperial Immortal Emperor aura surged skyward, without hesitation, a palm strike shot forth.
Heaven and earth roared, a purple palm imprint sliced through the azure sky, striking towards the humanoid figure.
However, when the palm imprint hit the humanoid figure, it didn't cause any harm at all and passed straight through.
"Useless?"
"This is not a simple Dragon Slaying Technique!"
Azure Emperor's expression darkened, his body shook, standing before Qin Wudao, like a purple sun, dispelling the evil aura in the Void.
"Not good!"
In the Ancestor Hall, the First Ancestor had been monitoring the Qin Dynasty's upgrade, noticing the Book Ancestor using the Dragon Slaying Technique, furrowed his brow slightly, tearing through the Void.
"Dragon Slaying Technique?"
"Haha! First Ancestor, I shall accompany you a bit longer!"
In the All Clans Hall, Di Tian laughed heartily, surrounded by flames, transforming into a Three-legged Golden Crow, speeding away.
"The Literature Realm's Dragon Slaying Technique is indeed strange, relying solely on Azure Emperor should not be enough to crack it!"
In the Ninth Heaven, southern demon state, in an ancient village, the War Clan's Elder solemnly stated.
He instantly saw that the technique the Book Ancestor used, the Dragon Slaying Technique, was not easily broken.
"The Literature Realm chose a good timing, performing the 'Dragon Slaying Technique' when the Qin Dynasty upgraded to the celestial court, if successful, shattering the Qin Dynasty's fortune, then Qin Wudao would be devastated!"
In the Holy City suspended in midair, the Holy Clan's Elder sneered repeatedly, slightly anticipating.
Qin Wudao cultivates emperor's way.
The Qin Dynasty's celestial court is his foundation for achieving the way.
If the Qin Dynasty's fortune is cut, it's tantamount to severing Qin Wudao's heart for the way.
And a Martial Artist without a heart for the way naturally cannot achieve the way.
"Finally here!"
On the platform, Qin Wudao's expression remained calm, from beginning to end, unchanged, as if he had already predicted the Book Ancestor would perform the Dragon Slaying Technique.
"Today, this ancestor shall sever the golden dragon of the Qin Dynasty's fortune!"
The Book Ancestor's Seraphic image proclaimed loudly, eyes emitting black aura, fingers pinching and manipulating the power of evil text.
Rumbling!
The Formation operated, beginning to absorb the power of heaven and earth.
From the nine jet-black beams, golden texts flew out one by one, linking together, forming nine pieces of Dragon Slaying articles.
Borrowing Power Section, borrow the people's strength, borrow the officials' will, borrow the army's might!
Bewildering Section, deceive the lower people, form cliques in the middle, hoodwink the ruler at the top!
Severing Heaven Section, sever the ruler's people, sever the ruler's army, sever the ruler's national fortune!
"Borrowing Power Section, bind!"
"Bewildering Section, restrain!"
The Book Ancestor's Seraphic image continued speaking.
From the nine pieces of Dragon Slaying articles, six articles soared into the air, forming six chains, flying towards the Qin Dynasty's fortune golden dragon.
Sensing the threat, the fortune golden dragon became agitated, its scales stood erect, shattering large swathes of the Void, but in its dragon eyes, a trace of fear lurked.
It felt restrained!
It felt all its power was beyond reach!
This is one of the essences of the Dragon Slaying Technique, depriving the king of power.
Similarly, using the nine pieces of Dragon Slaying articles to create illusions, making the fortune golden dragon believe its power is missing, thus becoming a lamb awaiting slaughter.
