Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 837 Chapter 339: Nine Tripod Cauldrons [Nine Provinces Barrier]! Major Surge in Strength! Ying Zheng's Surprise!_3

He promptly proceeded to review the submitted petition.

"Qi'er."

"Now that Qin is blessed with capable ministers, any petition that reaches Zhangtai Palace concerns the livelihoods of tens of thousands of commoners, demanding utmost caution in every matter," Ying Zheng stated with a deep voice.

"Grandson understands." Zhao Qi nodded solemnly.

Following that,

As if a new thought arose,

"Grandpa."

"Daqin's laws are rather stringent. I wonder if local Government Offices possess the authority to pass death sentences?" Zhao Qi inquired.

"Qi'er, your insight is commendable."

"That you would consider this specific point."

"Daqin's laws are strict. Before the unification of Shenzhou, there were indeed numerous flaws. For this, your father and I have revised many of our laws.

"Regarding capital punishment, we have further decreed that such cases must be brought to the Capital, handed over to the Tingwei, and only upon entering Zhangtai Palace can approval be granted.

"This measure prevents innocent lives from being lost and guards against the harm caused by wicked officials," Ying Zheng explained with a smile.

"With you and Father at the helm, Qin is truly fortunate to have the support of millions of its people," Zhao Qi expressed with heartfelt agreement.

At this very moment!

"Old man."

"Now that Qi'er is handling state affairs, you seem to have more leisure."

Zhao Feng's voice echoed from outside the hall.

"Your father has returned," Ying Zheng announced with a smile.

Zhao Qi immediately rose and bowed. "Greetings, Father."

"Be seated."

Zhao Feng smiled, strode directly into the hall, and took a seat before Ying Zheng.

"Be seated."

Zhao Feng smiled, strode directly into the hall, and took a seat before Ying Zheng.

"How was your journey to Baiyue?" Ying Zheng inquired directly.

Zhao Feng smiled, and with a mere thought,

Nine streams of brilliant light erupted from his body.

They transformed into nine miniature cauldrons that began to circle in mid-air. Even without activation, a profound suppressive aura, characteristic of the Human Race's Artifacts, permeated the surroundings.

"The Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia, the Divine Artifacts of the Human Clan."

"They are finally all gathered."

Gazing upon these nine cauldrons, Ying Zheng's smile broadened considerably.

"Dad."

"Then are the Nine Tripod Cauldrons displayed before the Ancestral Temple actually replicas?"

Zhao Qi asked, his face etched with surprise.

For there were indeed Nine Cauldrons enshrined before the Ancestral Temple!

"Those Nine Cauldrons were already imitations long before the Zhou Kingdom even existed," Zhao Feng revealed with a smile.

"To think that our true Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia were actually located in the land of Baiyue."

"Who could have orchestrated this?" Ying Zheng voiced his curiosity.

"I suspect it was the work of our Human Race's Ancient Human Emperor."

"The locations where the Nine Cauldrons reside—to be precise, where Eight Cauldrons are situated—actually form a formidable Fate-Suppressing Great Array. Utilizing the Eight Cauldrons as its core, this array suppresses the Qi Fortune of the Jiuli Clan, ensuring they have no chance to rise again."

"This is also one of the primary reasons why, for so many years, the Jiuli Clan has remained confined to Baiyue, never having the opportunity to re-enter Shenzhou," Zhao Feng stated with a deep tone.

Upon witnessing the Fate-Suppressing Great Array, Zhao Feng had immediately drawn this conclusion.

If it wasn't the Human Race's Human Emperor, Zhao Feng genuinely couldn't fathom anyone else capable of employing the Human Clan's Divine Artifacts to suppress Qi Fortune on such a grand scale.

"What could the Jiuli Clan possibly possess that warranted such vigilance from the Ancient Human Emperor?"

"To the extent of not hesitating to use the Nine Cauldrons to suppress them?" Ying Zheng questioned, astonishment evident in his voice.

"Dad."

"You must not underestimate the Jiuli Clan."

Zhao Feng cast a glance at Ying Zheng, a hint of seriousness beneath his smile. "In ancient times, they were a force to be reckoned with, distinct from our pure Human Race. They were born from the union of the Witch Clan and our Human Race, thus forming the Human-Witch lineage! In antiquity, even Immortals and Gods held them in fear."

"This Jiuli Clan is actually that formidable?" Ying Zheng truly hadn't anticipated this.

After all,

Though he was an Emperor, in essence, he was still a mortal ruler.

While he had embarked on the path of Cultivation and his perspective had broadened, he still lacked a complete understanding of this world's might and the vastness of its myriad races.

"Indeed."

"However, that is all in the past now."

"The Jiuli Clan of today is no longer the Human-Witch lineage of ancient times, nor are they as unbridled and defiant as they once were."

"As long as Qin treats them with sincerity, they will reciprocate with genuine submission."

"With the Jiuli Clan's allegiance, Qin will gain an additional source of power in the future."

"Immortals and Gods—what is there to fear?" Zhao Feng chuckled, though in his heart, he genuinely began to place importance on the Jiuli Clan.

Witch Clan, Witch Body!

If this Jiuli Clan were to cultivate the Martial Path, they might awaken in the future!

Once that occurs.

Qin would command a Witch Clan army capable of overwhelming all opposition.

"As long as you understand what must be done."

"Anything that commands such regard from the Ancient Human Emperor of our Human Race must still be approached with caution, even if only slightly." Ying Zheng stated in a hushed tone.

"Your son possesses the perceptive skill of Penetrating the Human Heart."

"Furthermore, the Martial Path was established by me. As long as one cultivates the Martial Path, no one can surpass me, the Forefather of Martial Arts." Zhao Feng declared with assuredness.

Observing Zhao Feng's unwavering confidence, Ying Zheng refrained from further remarks. He then directed his gaze toward the Nine Cauldrons, inquiring, "These Nine Cauldrons are fundamental artifacts of our Human Race, used to suppress clans. What unique marvels do they hold?"
