Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 812 Chapter 329: Ying Zheng's Unparalleled Divine Power Unleashed! Golden Words!

Zhao Feng cast a casual glance.
A faint smile touched his lips.
Disciples of Guiguzi.
Figures of renown from bygone eras.
To the common folk, these disciples of Guiguzi are all thought to have perished, long relegated to history.
Yet, in truth.
When Guiguzi took on disciples, aside from requiring exceptional talent, a crucial criterion was possessing a spirit root.
It was precisely for this reason.
That these disciples of Guiguzi were able to endure until the present time.
If Zhao Feng had not emerged, perhaps they would have remained cloistered within Ghost Valley indefinitely.
"Disciple greets Master."
Twelve individuals approached Guiguzi and offered a bow.
"I have entered the mortal realm, serving as a minister for Qin."
"Are you willing to follow me into the world?" Guiguzi inquired of his disciples.
Hearing this!
The disciples showed no hesitation: "Disciple will obey the Master's command."
"This is the Crown Prince of Great Qin."
"Pay your respects."
Guiguzi gestured towards Zhao Feng and declared.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Guiguzi's disciples all bowed in unison.
Gazing upon these individuals, Zhao Feng smiled, "You may rise."
"Crown Prince."
"Among my disciples, many have previously served as officials within Great Qin."
"However, for various reasons, they returned to Guiguzi." Guiguzi explained with a smile.
"Minister, Sun Wu."
The youngest among Guiguzi's disciples stepped forth.
"Minister, Pang Juan."
"Minister, Su Qin."
"Minister, Zhang Yi."
"Minister, Gai Nie."
...
Each of Guiguzi's disciples paid their respects to Zhao Feng.
Some were celebrated across Shenzhou, while others were less widely known.
Nevertheless, their capacity to become Guiguzi's disciples was a testament to their unique capabilities.
Guiguzi's arrival in Qin and the gifting of a dozen talents this time was indeed a tremendous boon for Great Qin.
"Excellent."
"With your presence in Great Qin, Qin will undoubtedly treat you well." Zhao Feng proclaimed with hearty laughter.
...
The Heaven Realm!
The Celestial Court!
Amidst the dazzling splendor, an undercurrent of surging blood qi swirled secretly.
"Your Majesty."
"The heavenly mechanisms are in disarray, and changes are occurring within the Heavenly Book."
"The individual originally foreordained by Heaven has already forfeited their destiny and has not even entered Nine You."
An elder Daoist, wielding a horsetail whisk, spoke with solemnity.
"How could the one protected by Heaven lose their destiny?"
"Even if an immortal were to descend, they could not withstand the backlash of heavenly destiny."
The Heavenly Emperor's brow furrowed, radiating a hint of displeasure.
"Your Majesty."
"The Qi fortune of Shenzhou is converging, seemingly a consequence of Qin's current unification of Shenzhou."
"Transformations have already begun in the mortal world."
"I urge Your Majesty to make a prompt decision."
"The Qi fortune of Shenzhou must not fall into the hands of the Buddha Land."
"I suspect malevolent forces are stirring disturbances within the mortal realm."
An immortal bearing a pagoda stepped forward and declared loudly.
"Demonic forces causing mischief?" The Heavenly Emperor's expression darkened.
Within this magnificent Heavenly Palace, the mention of demons seemed plausible. However, if one were to probe the palace with divine thought, observing the swirling blood qi and hearing the lamentations of countless wronged souls, the talk of demons appeared rather farcical.
"There are indeed changes in the mortal world."
"It is indeed time for action."
"If the West takes the lead in seizing Shenzhou's Qi fortune, it would be detrimental to our Heavenly Court." The Heavenly Emperor stated slowly.
Yet, the icy resolve on his face cast a formidable aura of oppression throughout the grand hall.
"Your Majesty."
"To return Shenzhou to the Immortal Realm, we must first shatter its accumulated Qi fortune and plunge it back into chaos."
"Otherwise, without dispersing Shenzhou's Qi fortune, even if Your Majesty were to intervene personally, reclaiming Shenzhou for the Immortal Realm would be an impossibility." The immortal with the pagoda spoke once more.
"Issue the decree."
"Above Shenzhou, Emperor Qin shall perish, and the world shall fracture."
"Qin will face relentless calamities, and widespread chaos will erupt."
"The one bearing heavenly destiny shall claim dominion over all of Shenzhou."
The Heavenly Emperor contemplated briefly before speaking with measured cadence.
As his words concluded.
The entirety of the Heavenly Palace reverberated, as if a divine mandate had been proclaimed.
High above the celestial vault.
Abruptly, the stars shifted.
As if an unseen power of cosmic law was being drawn forth.
Traversing the void, crossing the boundaries, and descending upon the mortal world.
"Report to Your Majesty."
"The Qi fortune of Shenzhou cannot be amassed by an individual lacking cultivation; it must be a practitioner of great divine abilities."
"I have a suspicion that cultivators are already present within Shenzhou, and they are practitioners of great divine abilities." An immortal stepped forward.
"Wang Lingguan."
"Your assessment is flawed."
"In bygone eras, Zhu Xu severed the connection between the heavens and the earth, carving off a portion of the Southern Continent to become the mortal realm. This action prevented immortals and gods from entering the human world."
"Unless one is among the ancient saints, who could possibly descend to the mortal realm? Even if it were possible, who would be willing to expend their essence to do so?" Another immortal chimed in.
"Nothing is set in stone."
"Since the demise of the saints, the mechanisms of heaven have been in disarray."
"Who can definitively state whether a practitioner of great divine abilities has descended?"
"Furthermore."
"Your Majesty has long established hidden assets within the mortal realm. If there are indeed supernatural powers in Shenzhou opposing us from the Heavenly Court, it is now time to deploy those concealed forces, rather than allowing the Buddhist Sect to gain any advantage."
"The Qi fortune of Shenzhou, the spiritual essence of Shenzhou's inhabitants, must be under the dominion of our Heavenly Court."
"Demons, their spiritual essence is insufficient to prolong our longevity." Wang Lingguan scoffed.
...
In the Western Lands, at the Buddha Land!
"Changes have occurred in Shenzhou."
"Heavenly destiny has begun to shift."
"Instruct the hidden forces beyond Shenzhou to mobilize immediately, ensuring that Shenzhou does not fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court."
Seated upon the Golden Lotus, Tathagata spoke with measured words, his voice resonating like Brahman chants, carrying an immeasurable majesty.
"We shall humbly obey the command of the World-Honored One."
The Buddhas assembled below responded in unison.
Each Buddha emanated a radiant light, yet concealed beneath this divine radiance, akin to those Heavenly Court Immortals, lay a hidden blood-red intent to kill and demonic Qi.
...
Great Qin, Shenzhou!
Within the Morning Discussion Hall!
"A report to His Majesty."
"Good tidings have arrived from the Northern Frontier."
"General Li Mu has successfully breached the capital of Goguryeo, capturing the entire royal family of the King of Goguryeo."
"The former Great General of Tu An, Jin Feng, offered resistance but was consequently executed on the spot by General Li Mu."
"Tu An and Goguryeo are now incorporated territories of Qin."
"They have ceased to exist as independent entities."
Yu Liao announced with palpable excitement.
"Excellent."
From his imperial throne, Ying Zheng's brow betrayed a subtle trace of joy.
