Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 693 - 697: Discussion _1

After hearing the words of the Heavenly Sword Immortal, Yang Zaixing's pupils contracted sharply.

To perform the duties of the Great Elder and command the Human Clan's forces—this is equivalent to being the Grand Marshal of all forces in the world!

Most importantly, he was not a disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion, but a general of the Great Qin Saint's Court. This meant that the Heavenly Sword Immortal had gifted a portion of the Human Clan's authority to the Great Qin Saint's Court.

"Senior, this matter is of grave importance. I must report to His Majesty!"

Although moved, Yang Zaixing didn't agree immediately. He clasped his hands and said respectfully. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He was a subject of Qin.

Any position he held had to be appointed by the Emperor.

"Very well!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Sword Immortal showed a hint of surprise, even more pleased with Yang Zaixing's response.

One had to understand, what he offered was command over the Human Clan's military might, an undoubtedly immense temptation for any general. Yet, Yang Zaixing was able to adhere to his principles—truly commendable.

A loyal person's moral character is unlikely to be poor.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while before the Heavenly Sword Immortal rose and departed.

Yang Zaixing remained seated on the stone bench, gathering his thoughts. He then took out a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone from his storage space to write a letter.

Time flowed on. Nine days passed in a flash.

The entire Great Qin Saint's Court was bustling with activity. From court officials down to the common people, smiles adorned every face. After all, by the end of this day, they would be subjects of a Heavenly Court.

Great Qin would become the second Heavenly Court in the Red Dragon Starfield, following the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court.

This was an honor belonging to Great Qin! It was a source of pride for every citizen!

Deep within the imperial palace of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court, in a secluded courtyard, the atmosphere was heavy. Formations were laid out to prevent any prying eyes.

The Molting Dragon Emperor, clad in a long robe, sat in a chair. He tossed the intelligence report in his hand onto the table, his expression dark as he said coldly, "The Great Qin Saint's Court is about to ascend to become a Heavenly Court!"

Ascend to a Heavenly Court? How is this possible? Has a martial artist from the Great Qin Saint's Court broken through to the Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm?

Opposite him sat the Flame Demon Elder, demonic qi coiling around his body. He hastily flipped through the report on the table, his expression shifting rapidly in utter astonishment.

It is common knowledge that only by breaking through to the Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm can one's soul enter the Nether world and establish a Reincarnation Passage.

However, nothing is absolute; some special races can enter the Nether world prematurely.

"If Great Qin had a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert, the Human Clan would have counterattacked long ago!"

The Molting Dragon Emperor shook his head and stated coldly, "Do you remember that powerful Ghost Clan expert in the Great Qin Saint's Court?"

"The Ghost Clan!"

The Flame Demon Elder was stunned for a moment, then realization dawned.

The Ghost Clan is one such special race, able to communicate between Yin and Yang and enter the Nether world ahead of time.

He had previously wondered how the Great Qin Saint's Court, lacking a Taiyi Earth Immortal, could possibly ascend to a Heavenly Court. But if they had the aid of the Ghost Clan, then everything made sense.

"You are aware of Great Qin's potential!"

"If it ascends to a Heavenly Court and acquires karmic Fortune, Great Qin's overall strength will undoubtedly surge. In less than a century, it will pose a threat to us!"

"Therefore, I have decided that when Great Qin ascends to its Heavenly Court, we will send its emperor and officials to their deaths!"

"What do you think?" the Molting Dragon Emperor inquired leisurely.

His tone was calm, yet it carried an endless killing intent, potent enough to bury all life and slaughter thousands.

"You certainly know how to pick your moment! To destroy his nascent empire and slaughter his people just as Qin Wudao reaches the pinnacle of his success… that would indeed be amusing!" The Flame Demon Elder stroked his chin, a vile smile spreading across his face. He could almost see the look of utter despair on Qin Wudao's face after his nation was annihilated and his people slain.

Following this, the two began to conspire, and a frigid, murderous aura permeated the entire courtyard.

However, unbeknownst to them, a conspiracy targeting the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Devil Hall was already quietly unfolding in the Nether world of a different dimension.

「Within Nether Capital City.」

Guided by Huang Youcai, Jiang Ziwen arrived at a colossal, somber edifice.

This edifice spanned thirty miles, occupying a third of the city's area. Entirely black, it was engraved with arcane patterns, giving it an air of extreme solemnity.

From the edifice's peak, billows of black qi roiled, suffused with various Powers of Laws.

Jiang Ziwen extended his senses and identified the Power of Reincarnation, the Power of the Nether, the Power of Ruthlessness…

"City Lord, this is the core of the city, the Reincarnation Hall!" Huang Youcai stood at the main entrance, gestured respectfully, and said.

The primary function of the Nether world is to oversee the reincarnation of deceased souls from the Yang world. However, the Yang world is truly vast, and countless beings die every moment.

Such a staggering number, of course, could not be managed by a mere handful of individuals.

Thus, Yin City came into existence, using its Reincarnation Hall to manage the reincarnation of souls from specific regions of the Yang world.

And the region Nether Capital City was responsible for was precisely the Red Dragon Starfield.

"Let's go in."

Jiang Ziwen glanced at the edifice and said indifferently.

Huang Youcai bowed and pushed open the massive doors.

Suddenly, his vision opened up. The interior of the edifice, though only thirty miles across, seemed as vast as a world, with no end in sight.

What greeted their eyes was an immensely long passageway.

Beyond the passageway stood a 'Ghost Gate.' Souls continuously emerged from it, their gazes vacant, as they crossed the River of Forgetfulness, traversed Yellow Spring, and passed over the Naihe Bridge…

Jiang Ziwen wasn't interested in these 'structures' and proceeded directly to three pale gold passages.

Souls were also continuously emerging from these three passages.

However, unlike the souls emerging from the 'Ghost Gate,' these were veiled in a faint golden light that protected their True Spirit, ensuring they could return to their homelands upon reincarnation.

"City Lord, as long as we seal these Reincarnation Passages, the powers in the Yang world will descend into turmoil!" Huang Youcai said with a smile.

"In that case, seal the Reincarnation Passages of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Devil Hall!" Jiang Ziwen commanded coldly, his gaze profound as he produced his official seal.

"This… City Lord, is this truly advisable?" Huang Youcai was taken aback and hurriedly said, "The Nether world has regulations prohibiting the unauthorized closure of spatial passages! If the Lord of the Nine Cities investigates, we will be…"

Without rules, there can be no order.

The Lord of the Nine Cities is the ruler of the Nether world, the one who established its rules. It is even rumored that the Reincarnation Passages themselves were born from their hands.

Jiang Ziwen waved his hand dismissively. "Just execute the order!" he stated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Tomorrow is the day Great Qin ascends to its Heavenly Court. If things proceed as expected, the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Devil Hall will undoubtedly attempt to cause trouble.

At that critical juncture, he would be in the Nether world, constructing the Reincarnation Passage for Great Qin, and could not be diverted. If the Molting Dragon Emperor and the Flame Demon Elder were to strike simultaneously, they might disrupt the ascension ceremony.

So, he decided to take the risk and close the Reincarnation Passages.

"This… As you command!"

Huang Youcai's mouth fell slightly agape. He reluctantly accepted the official seal. Forming a series of hand seals, a mysterious power emanated from his hands, enveloping the exits of the Reincarnation Passages.

Throughout this process, Jiang Ziwen's gaze remained intently fixed on the official seal.

Jiang Ziwen muttered to himself, his expression grave, "As expected, ultimate control over the Reincarnation Passages lies with the 'Ghost' faction!"

As Huang Youcai sealed the Reincarnation Passages, Jiang Ziwen noticed the 'Ghost' insignia within the official seal emit a terrifying and supreme energy.

It was precisely the appearance of this wisp of energy that allowed the Reincarnation Passages to be completely sealed.

What exactly does this 'Ghost' character signify?
