When the last Thunder Tribulation dissipated.
Qin Shujian withdrew his Celestial Body and sat cross-legged on a city. Then, he took out the remaining spirit stones from his storage ring to recover his vital essence.
But it was different from the previous violent absorption.
This time, Qin Shujian only absorbed the spirit qi contained in the spirit stones, but did not harm his origin.
Half a day passed.
Most of the surrounding spirit stones dimmed. Qin Shujian saw that Su Zhan and Fang Yilan had already appeared in front of him.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian put away the spirit stones as if nothing had happened. Then, he stood up and said with a faint smile, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. The four cities have finally been forged. Although it lacks an innate embryo and can't reach the level of a spirit weapon.
But I believe that the four cities are not much weaker than a two-seal Dao weapon. "
Hearing these words.
The two of them looked at him with a strange look in their eyes.
It was not much weaker than a two-seal Dao weapon.
When they had successfully forged the city, they had tested it with a Dao weapon. In terms of defensive power, it was not weaker than a four-seal Dao weapon.
A top-tier spirit weapon.
Although it had already surpassed the category of a high-grade spirit weapon and reached the level of a Dao weapon.
But as the elders of the Imperial Astronomer, how could they not have any knowledge?
A normal top-tier spirit weapon.
At most, it was comparable to a two-seal Dao weapon.
But Qin Shujian had forged a top-tier spirit weapon that directly reached the level of a four-seal Dao weapon. It was simply unheard of.
It was not that they were short-sighted.
It was because in tens of thousands of years, there had never been such a powerful forger in the human race.
With the other party's forging methods.
In the eyes of the two.
Even if Qin Shujian was only a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, his status was much higher than ordinary mighty figures. The Human Emperor would definitely recruit him into the Imperial Astronomer.
There was no other reason!
Such a forger was even rarer than a mighty figure.
If the other party could forge a large number of top-tier spirit weapons similar to the city in front of them, then the overall strength of the Great Zhao would definitely reach a higher level.
When that time came.
A person at the peak of the Spiritual Martial Arts Realm with a spirit weapon could suppress a person at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm.
A person at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm with a spirit weapon had a chance to fight against a Celestial Being.
Even if he had just become a Celestial, he was still a Celestial.
The Great Zhao lacked diviners, but it did not lack strong practitioners at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. If everyone had a spirit weapon comparable to a four-seal Dao weapon, it would be equivalent to the Great Zhao having a large amount of diviners.
Su Zhan chuckled and said, "Does Sovereign Qin have any plans to enter the imperial court as an official? If you do, His Majesty will treat you as an elder of the Imperial Astronomer!"
"That's right. As long as Sectmaster Qin is willing, this old woman can guarantee that you will become an elder of the Board of Astronomy."
Fang Yilan nodded and said.
Both of them really wanted to pull Qin Shujian into the Board of Astronomy.
They believed it too.
If the Human Emperor were here, he would do the same.
Qin Shujian smiled and said, "I'm used to being free. I don't like being tied down."
"That's fine too. If Sect Master Qin has any ideas in the future, you can look for this old man at any time." Su Zhan didn't force the issue.
Although he hoped that Qin Shujian would join the Imperial Astronomer, he did not expect the other party to really agree.
How could it be so easy to rope in an expert?
Then.
Qin Shujian said, "The cities have been built. What happens next is not something I can control."
"The four cities have made the Eastern Continent's door impregnable. Sect Master Qin has contributed greatly."
Fang Yilan praised.
Qin Shujian smiled. Then, he looked at the cities and said, "The four cities are the corners of each other. If an Array Grandmaster uses the four cities as the foundation of an Array Formation, he can set up a shocking Array Formation.
Then the power of the four cities can be unleashed to the limit.
In my opinion, there will be four Celestial Beings in the city at that time. With an army of a million, supported by the array, even a mighty figure can be killed. "
The four cities were not weaker than a four-seal Dao weapon.
In addition, with the help of the Celestial Beings and the army of a million.
The power of the array would definitely soar.
In Qin Shujian's view as a second-stage Array Grandmaster, such an array was enough to kill a mighty figure.
However.
He only gave a few words of advice, but he did not intend to set up an array.
With his current means.
Qin Shujian was confident that he could be called the best Artificer in the world, but when it came to array, he was not so confident.
In his opinion.
There might even be a third realm formation grandmaster in the Imperial Astronomer.
Of course.
These were just Qin Shujian's guesses. He did not have any practical evidence.
On the other side. Fang Yilan also silently agreed.
She was a second-stage Array Grandmaster.
Fang Yilan was not good at Artificing, but she was very confident in Array Grandmasters.
So.
Fang Yilan did not ask Qin Shujian to help.
When it came to setting up the array, she could do it alone.
If Qin Shujian did it all, then the elders of the Imperial Astronomer would be too useless.
The rest of the matter became simple.
After the city was successfully built, Qin Shujian left the Heaven and Earth Restriction.
On the other side.
Su Zhan immediately sent the news to the Human Emperor.
But the next day, the Human Emperor came in person.
"Your Majesty!"
Both Fang Yilan and Su Zhan bowed.
"You may dispense with the formalities!"
The Human Emperor smiled, then turned to look at the cities. "Qin Shujian's Artificing skills are uncanny. His title as the best Artificer in the world is undeniable."
Artificing a top-level spiritual weapon with his bare hands.
It took him a month and a half to build all four cities.
Even the Human Emperor was astonished by this.
Su Zhan said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you're so wise. Qin Shujian is indeed the best Artificer in the world."
The Human Emperor praised Qin Shujian, and Su Zhan looked a little embarrassed as well.
After all, Su Zhan was the one who took the initiative to build the cities.
However, in the end.
He didn't help at all when the cities were being built. Qin Shujian did it all by himself.
It was so embarrassing to say such a thing.
The Human Emperor seemed to have seen through Su Zhan's thoughts, but he didn't press the matter. Crossing his hands behind his back, he said, "Now that the cities have been built, Grand Secretary Fang will be in charge of the array for the time being.
As for Grand Secretary Feng, he'll be here in a few days.
When the time comes, you two must complete the portal. I want the people from the three continents to be unable to come out. "
"Your Majesty, will powerful cultivators really attack us when the seal is broken?"
Su Zhan asked the question that had been bothering him.
The Human Emperor looked at the seal with a brooding look in his eyes and said quietly, "The seal is a form of protection for the East Continent. That Chen River is there to stop the powerful cultivators from the three continents.
Perhaps the people from the three great continents were already waiting there.
They're waiting for us to break the seal and for the Chen River to disappear. "
Hearing that.
Su Zhan looked at the seal as well.
There was clearly nothing there, but in his eyes, it was as if he could see many experts with auras as deep as the abyss, staring at him.
"Get ready! This battle has dragged on for too long. It's time for a big fight. "
A faint smile appeared on the Human Emperor's face. He said, "If we don't give it our all, we won't have another chance."
What chance?
The Human Emperor didn't say much.
Su Zhan wanted to ask, but before he could, the Human Emperor had disappeared on the spot.
The next day.
The imperial court's army passed through the portal and set up camp in the four majestic cities.
Each city covered an area of thousands of miles, and the city walls were hundreds of feet high.
Besides that.
The Human Emperor also appointed four Saint cultivators as the city lords to guard the four cities.
At this moment.
The originally empty cities were now filled with millions of elite soldiers and four Saint cultivators.
The war hadn't started.
But the murderous intent had already soared into the sky.
Even if there were no powerful cultivators deliberately intimidating them, those monsters would consciously retreat when they sensed the murderous intent.
A storm was coming.
The imperial court had already spread the news of the war, and the powerful cultivators of the various sects had all received the order.
Facing the three continents.
The human race in the East Continent was no longer divided into the cultivation world and the imperial court.
In the eyes of the Human Emperor.
The human race was the human race, and there wasn't much difference. As long as they were in the East Continent, all the humans would listen to his orders, and those who dared to disobey would only have a dead end.
To this.
No sect or force dared to resist.
"Sect Master, the imperial court has sent a message that when the war starts, we need to send one Heavenly Being, ten Divine Martial Artists, a hundred Spiritual Martial Artists, and a thousand True Martial Artists."
In the Yuan Sect, Zheng Fang said in a deep voice.
Qin Shujian's expression was normal as he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down. "It's about to start. Once the war starts, we can only win, and not lose. This is no longer a matter of the imperial court, but of the entire human race in the East Continent.
As a human sect in the East Continent, we should do our part. "
It wasn't that Qin Shujian had a high awareness.
It was that he understood that no egg would remain intact when the nest was overturned.
Once the imperial court was defeated, or the door to the East Continent was broken, the Yuan Sect would be one of the first sects to bear the brunt.
At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire human race.
After understanding the meaning of the restriction of heaven and earth.
Qin Shujian no longer hoped that something good would happen when the passage to the three continents was opened.
Once the restriction of heaven and earth was broken, the weak water would disappear.
It would be when the war between the two sides began.
At the same time.
The moment the passage opened was also the most intense moment of the battle.
Although Qin Shujian didn't see it with his own eyes, his sixth sense told him that a war was about to break out.
Zheng Fang said, "The other cultivators are fine, but our sect can't take out ten great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm."
This was a very awkward situation.
As a top sect, they couldn't even take out ten great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm.
If it were other top sects, even the worst one would have the hope of taking out ten great cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm.
Only the two top sects of Beiyun Mansion were facing such an awkward situation.
One was the Yuan Sect, and the other was the Traceless Sect.
The Yuan Sect had been established too recently, so they didn't have the time to cultivate so many experts. The cultivators below the God Martial Arts Realm were fine, but there were only a few cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm.
Even if the guests were included.
The Yuan Sect could only take out five or six cultivators of the God Martial Arts Realm.
As for the Traceless Sect.
That would mean that they were a proper new top sect.
It had the name of a top sect, but it didn't have the foundation or influence of a top sect.
The imperial court's order.
It wasn't a problem for other sects, but for the Yuan Sect and the Traceless Sect, it was very awkward.
Qin Shujian said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I'll take Jiang Feng there when the time comes."
If they couldn't take out ten God Martial Arts Realm cultivators, they could take out two Celestial Beings.
One Celestial Being was more useful than ten God Martial Arts Realm cultivators.
At the very most, Yuanzong had three Celestials in his hands.
It didn't matter if the God Martial Arts Realm cultivators weren't enough. They could just take out the Celestial Beings.
Hearing this.
Zheng Fang didn't say anything more.
As for what to do, Qin Shujian was the one who made the decision.
Then.
Zheng Fang said a few more things, then got up and left.
Qin Shujian was still sitting in the courtyard, drinking spiritual tea.
At some point.
A person suddenly appeared and sat in front of Qin Shujian.
Qin Shujian paused for a moment, but soon came back to his senses. He poured a cup of spiritual tea for the other party and said with a smile, "Human Emperor, you've come a long way. I apologize for not going out to meet you. This cup of spiritual tea is my apology."
The Human Emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then praised, "It's worthy of being a spiritual flower nurtured by the Celestial Eldar. It's enough to rank in the top three among the spiritual teas I've drunk."
"Your Majesty, what are the top three and the other two that you mentioned?"
"Let's not talk about those two. They're extinct now. The spiritual tea in Sect Master Qin's hands is already number one."
The Human Emperor shook his head and said.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian's face was calm, but his heart was a little dignified.
He didn't expect the Human Emperor to come here for no reason.
In his sea of consciousness.
Godslayer's voice also sounded. "Kid, this Human Emperor of yours is not simple. The pressure I feel from him is as if I'm facing the immortals of the Heavenly Court in the past.
Although he's only in the Nirvana Realm, in terms of strength, he might be able to kill immortals. "
When he saw Qin Shujian.
Godslayer thought that Qin Shujian was the person with the strongest talent and potential in the human race. He was the Son of Destiny of this era.
But when he saw the Human Emperor.
Godslayer hesitated.
Because the Human Emperor in front of him also gave him great pressure.
Killing immortals with a Nirvana Realm cultivation.
With such strength.
It was also the top in ancient times.
Godslayer thought that the current Human Emperor of the human race was just an ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivator. Looking at his current posture, he already had the demeanor of the former emperors.
Even if it was a little worse.
But that was also a matter of strength.
For a moment, Godslayer was also a little confused.
If Qin Shujian was the Son of Destiny, then what was Qin Shujian?
The Son of Destiny.
Only one would be born every ten thousand years. He was the one who was truly favored by destiny.
In Godslayer's eyes.
Although the Human Emperor and Qin Shujian were thousands of years apart, they were actually of the same generation.
The Human Emperor said, "Senior, why don't you show yourself?"
Qin Shujian was taken aback by the sudden words.
The God-Slaying Saber said, "He discovered me. What a strong perception. Fine, let me go out and meet this Human Emperor."
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian no longer hesitated and took out Godslayer from his sea of consciousness.
When the Human Emperor saw Godslayer, his expression became solemn. He cupped his hands and said, "Zu Bing greets Zu Bing. May I ask what your name is?"
"God Slayer."
Godslayer replied indifferently. He calmly accepted the Human Emperor's salute.
As the Human Race's Zu Bing.
Godslayer also had the right to accept it.
The Human Emperor's expression changed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Godslayer, one of the Three Zu Bing of the Human Race in the past. The Godslayer!"
"You've heard of my name?"
"Senior's name resounds like thunder. How could I not have heard of it?" The Human Emperor said with some emotion, "It's just that I didn't expect that one day I would be able to see one of the Three Zu Bing of the Human Race with my own eyes."
"You're very good."
Godslayer replied indifferently and then returned to Qin Shujian's sea of consciousness.
The Human Emperor cupped his hands slightly as a farewell. Then he looked at Qin Shujian and said, "Sect Master Qin, you have a great opportunity to be protected by Godslayer. I'm also very envious."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Qin Shujian smiled slightly.
He really didn't know how to respond to this topic.
If he were to humbly say that a mere Ancestral Armament was not worth mentioning, he might end up angering the God-Slaying Blade.
If he accepted it directly, he would be too arrogant.
So.
Qin Shujian had to give an ambiguous reply and then asked, "May I know why Your Majesty is here this time?"
"I'm here to invite Sect Master Qin to join the Imperial Astronomer. I wonder if Sect Master Qin is willing?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I have no intention of joining the court as an official."
Qin Shujian shook his head and refused.
The Human Emperor looked regretful and said, "With your casting skills, if you can join the Imperial Astronomer, you will definitely be more useful than a Celestial Being. If you are willing to join the Imperial Astronomer, I promise you the position of Elder.
The Elder of the Imperial Astronomer will listen to orders and have absolute freedom. Sect Master Qin, you really don't want to consider it. "
"If I have any ideas in the future, I will definitely explain it to you."
"Well, to each his own. I won't force you."
The Human Emperor shook his head and stopped trying to persuade him.
As the Human Emperor, he had personally invited someone and this was the second time after being rejected. He had already given Qin Shujian enough face.
Since the other party didn't agree.
The Human Emperor wouldn't continue to force him. This was the dignity of a Saint Emperor.
He looked at the Human Emperor in front of him.
Qin Shujian thought of the Heaven and Earth Restriction and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, I have some questions that I would like to ask. I wonder if you are willing to answer them?"
"What is it?"
"If I'm not wrong, the Heaven and Earth Restriction should be a means to protect the Eastern Continent. If the Heaven and Earth Restriction is broken, does the current Eastern Continent have the strength to contend with the other three continents?"
Qin Shujian said in a deep voice.
He didn't talk about the broken rules or the fallen Immortal.
If he said too much about these things, the Human Emperor would easily guess something.
Qin Shujian wasn't going to share the remains of that Immortal with others.
At the mention of the Heaven and Earth Restriction.
The smile on the Human Emperor's face faded a little, and he said solemnly, "Sect Master Qin, do you know why the humans and demons were on good terms in ancient times? Do you know why the other three continents attacked the humans?"
"Please tell me, Human Emperor." Qin Shujian was stunned, then he cupped his hands and said.
He had a premonition that he might know some secrets.
In his sea of consciousness.
The Godslayer's saber shook.
He didn't fight with the Myriad Races to the end. Instead, he left halfway and went to Heavenly Pattern Island. Therefore, he had no idea what happened to the Myriad Races.
The Human Emperor seemed to be recalling something and said slowly, "Senior God Slayer should have told you about the invasion of the Demon Abyss and the attack of the Myriad Races. However, from the looks of it, I'm afraid you don't know everything.
Simply put, in the face of the attack of the demons, the Myriad Races were defeated, the Immortals died, and the Heavenly Court collapsed.
The Emperor Of Heaven sacrificed himself and slashed out with his saber, shattering more than half of the world and breaking the connection with the Demon Abyss. Only then did he resolve this calamity.
But similarly, although the demons retreated, more than half of the world was shattered.
Hundreds of millions of living beings and many experts of the Myriad Races died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Emperor Of Heaven. From then on, the Myriad Races hated the humans because the Emperor Of Heaven was from the human race. "
The Human Emperor's calmest words made Qin Shujian understand the tragedy of the battle back then.
It also made him understand why the human race would turn against the other races.
In the face of the Demon Abyss's calamity.
The Myriad Races were defeated.
In order to preserve the last hope, the Emperor Of Heaven sacrificed himself and billions of living beings of the Myriad Races to completely shatter this world and resolve the calamity of the Demon Abyss.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian was silent. The Godslayer was also silent.
Such an outcome was something they had not expected.
The Human Emperor said, "The world was shattered, and more than half of the Myriad Races were annihilated. The remaining races thought that the Emperor Of Heaven had harmed the Myriad Races, so they hated the human race very much. Whether that was the case or not, it didn't matter. What the Myriad Races needed was a target to vent their anger.
In ancient times, the human race was the top race and was respected by the other races.
However, the Emperor Of Heaven's saber cut off the ancient times and also cut off the glory of the human race, causing the human race to fall from its supreme position. "
"But no matter what, the human race's foundation was still strong. However, in the face of the attacks of the Myriad Races, the human race retreated step by step. After the ancient war, the human race fell into the flames of war that lasted tens of thousands of years.
In this war, the experts of the older generation of the human race kept falling, and the new generation of experts kept being born.
It was not until the birth of an immortal in the human race that the situation was alleviated. However, the situation did not ease for long. Immortals were also born among the Myriad Races. In the end, the immortals of the human race and the Myriad Races led their respective races to erupt in a great war.
This war destroyed the last foundation of the human race. "
The Human Emperor said slowly.
Qin Shujian listened silently.
He did not know the history of the human race.
The Human Emperor said, "Do you know why no immortals have been born in the Eastern Continent after so many years?"
"Is it related to that war?" Qin Shujian understood immediately.
The Human Emperor nodded and said, "That's right. It's related to that war."
"In that war, the immortals of the human race understood that things were hopeless. In the end, they paid the price of their own death to cut off a part of the rules of the world, causing the rules of the world to no longer be perfect.
At the same time, they shattered the rules of the world and summoned the water of the Heavy River, completely isolating the Eastern Continent where the human race lives from the other three continents. This is the origin of the Heaven and Earth Restriction. "
"Then why does the demon race exist in the Eastern Continent?"
"The demon race in the Eastern Continent is just a part of the entire demon race. The true foundation of the demon race has never been in the Eastern Continent."
