We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 415: I Want to Search This Whole World for Him

Qin Lan’er found herself completely bewildered by what Big Sister Sovereign meant by “being selfish for once.”

However, before Qin Lan’er could fully process her confusion, she discovered that she had, without consciously deciding to, followed Big Sister Sovereign all the way to the majestic Mount Tai.

The immense dynastic fortune present had manifested as a colossal dragon, perpetually coiling and uncoiling in the heavens above.

Influenced by this potent dynastic fortune, the spiritual energy in the vicinity was extraordinarily concentrated.

Were this spiritual energy to maintain its intensity for another millennium, this hallowed location would undoubtedly blossom into a premier blessed land and cave-heaven, perfectly suited to sustain a Sect of the Ascension Realm.

Qin Siyao gracefully descended from the sky, her form drifting toward the mountain’s apex, with a close-following Qin Lan’er in her wake.

The mountain-protecting formation array of Mount Tai, sensing the overwhelming dynastic fortune enveloping both Qin Siyao and Qin Lan’er, did not initiate its defenses. Instead, it willingly embraced their presence.

Upon reaching the summit, Qin Siyao proceeded directly to the Sacrifice-to-Heaven Platform.

The platform itself was devoid of any extraneous adornments, save for a single, immense cauldron.

This artifact was known as the Cauldron of the Four Directions Under Heaven, a sacred treasure from the annals of ancient times, consistently employed by every preceding dynasty for crucial sacrificial rites.

It was a known phenomenon that when the world of myriad arts achieved unity, the Cauldron of the Four Directions Under Heaven would invariably surface. Conversely, should a dynasty splinter and fracture, the Cauldron would vanish without a trace.

The last recorded instance of the Cauldron of the Four Directions Under Heaven making an appearance was within a riverbed.

This occurred in the fourth year following a period of unification. An unusual event transpired in Qinghai Commandery: a river inexplicably dried up within a mere half-day, and a surge of dynastic fortune ascended dramatically into the sky.

Upon the arrival of local officials, they discovered the magnificent cauldron and, without delay, personally escorted it to the imperial capital.

From within her robes, Qin Siyao retrieved the imperial seal and placed it upon the designated surface.

This particular seal was not the original state seal of the Qin dynasty; rather, it was a composite artifact, forged by amalgamating the seals of every individual state within the entire world of myriad arts.

After meticulously lighting three sticks of incense, Qin Siyao, with Qin Lan’er by her side, commenced the solemn ritual of worshipping Heaven and Earth. The very moment the incense was planted into the cauldron, the ambient dynastic fortune transmuted into a brilliant pillar of light, piercing the heavens.

Golden ripples propagated outwards through the atmosphere.

Across both the world of myriad arts and the demon-race world, every cultivator who had attained the Nascent Soul Realm or a higher level of Cultivation paused, lifting their gazes towards a singular point in the sky.

“Where are the headmasters of the Hundred Schools!”

Qin Siyao’s voice resonated with the authority of cosmic law, carrying across Mount Tai and extending in all directions.

In the subsequent moment, countless streaks of golden light converged from every conceivable direction.

The resplendent golden forms of the headmasters representing the Hundred Schools—encompassing Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism; Legalism, Mohism, Agriculturalism, Militarism; Yin-Yang studies; Diplomacy; Commerce; and over a hundred other distinct disciplines—descended and took their positions around Mount Tai, forming a vast, encircling array.

Their cultivation realms varied significantly; some had already ascended to the Ascension Realm, while others were merely at the Jade-Polished Realm.

“Your Majesty, may I humbly inquire as to the reason for this summons?” The esteemed palace master of the Confucian academy stepped forward, offering a bow of profound respect.

“There is no other purpose. I merely possess three imperial edicts—and one among them is specifically for your attention, nothing more.”

Qin Siyao’s decree resonated throughout the entirety of the world of myriad arts.

“Let the world of myriad arts receive this edict!”

Qin Siyao then produced the first imperial edict.

“The demon-race world has harbored covetous intentions towards my world of myriad arts for an extended period. Today, I hereby command the world of myriad arts: construct the Great Wall along our borders. As long as the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall remains unbreached, the demon-race world shall not transgress it, not even for a single day.”

The instant these words were uttered, the imperial edict transformed into a beam of pure light and swiftly departed towards the designated border region.

“Qin Siyao! You dare to forcibly segregate two worlds—how can you be so audacious!”

A commanding voice, belonging to a powerful great demon of the Ascension Realm, emanated from the demon-race world.

“My world of myriad arts acts according to its own will—what concern is it of yours?”

Qin Siyao responded with a frigid snort and lowered her slender hand. The imperial edict descended with a colossal impact, striking the borderlands with an earth-shattering force. The ground convulsed violently as a colossal wall erupted from the earth, soaring upwards to pierce the clouds and extending for tens of millions of li.

“Let the Hundred Schools receive this edict!”

Wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth, Qin Siyao produced the second imperial edict.

“From this day forward, those dwelling below the mountain shall attend to matters concerning the lower realms, while those above the mountain will govern affairs of the higher realms. Any cultivator who chooses to enter the imperial court shall not remain for a duration exceeding one hundred years.

“Furthermore, between the pursuit of immortality and the holding of an emperor’s throne, only one path may be chosen!”

“Hereafter, any ruler of Qin above the Foundation Establishment stage shall be barred from claiming the throne. Transgressors will face karmic repercussions, and the Dao of Heaven will not suffer it!”

With these words, Qin Siyao concluded, and the second imperial edict ascended into the sky.

Despite any reluctance from the heads of the Hundred Schools, the law of the Dao of Heaven compelled them to accept its decree.

Ultimately, the imperial edict transformed into a beam of light, merging with the Great Dao and becoming an intrinsic part of the Heaven-and-Earth law.

“Crown Prince Qin Lan’er, receive the edict.”

Having proclaimed the first two edicts, Qin Siyao turned her gaze towards the young woman standing before her.

“With the Heavens and Earth as witness, and the mountains and rivers observing all, I now pass the throne to you at Mount Tai.

“Effective immediately, you shall be the sovereign of Qin.”

As the Supreme Sovereign Sister delivered the imperial decree, Qin Lan’er stood rooted, a look of bewilderment on her face.

“Lan’er, receive the edict.” Noticing her sister’s daze, Qin Siyao offered a gentle smile.

Qin Lan’er lightly bit her lower lip, stepped forward, and bowed. “Lan’er… receives the edict.”

Qin Siyao placed the imperial edict into Qin Lan’er’s hands, her expression softening as she gazed at her.

“From this moment forth, you hold dominion over Great Qin.

“With this Great Wall spanning ten thousand li, the invasion of the myriad arts world by the demon race will be considerably hampered.

“However, I say ‘considerably hampered,’ not impossible. This Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall demands your diligent management and unwavering vigilance against the demon race.

“Furthermore, there will be fewer powerful cultivators vying for the position of state ruler. Once I depart, the scrutiny from those on the higher mountains will diminish significantly.

“You may continue your cultivation unhindered; your realm will not face restrictions.

“However, for your successors and all future rulers of the myriad arts world, their cultivation realm shall not surpass Foundation Establishment.

“Consequently, rulers will change hands more frequently. Whether this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.

“After all, an emperor once possessed the ability to cultivate. Should a wise sovereign emerge, the world might bask in prolonged peace.

“Yet, a foolish ruler could plunge the world into turmoil for a century, a millennium—even ten thousand years.

“But with you in charge, I am confident the world will enjoy at least ten thousand years of tranquility.

“Ten thousand years is a substantial duration.

“Regarding the Xiao family—you are permitted to grant them three reprieves from capital punishment. Should their descendants commit further transgressions after these three instances, punish them as you deem fit. Under no circumstances, however, are you to eradicate the Xiao family entirely.”

“Supreme Sovereign Sister… are you departing?”

Qin Lan’er’s eyes welled up, tears glistening at their edges.

“Mhm.”

Qin Siyao nodded, then delicately wiped a tear from her sister’s eye.

“The world has found its peace. All that Father, Mother, Brother, and my husband entrusted to me—I have fulfilled it. Now… it is time for me to pursue my own desires.

“My apologies, Lan’er. Please forgive my selfishness. I am entrusting everything to you now.”

“Where will Supreme Sovereign Sister be going?” Qin Lan’er inquired softly, a reluctance to part evident in her voice.

“I am going to search this entire world for him.”

“But Supreme Sovereign Sister… the Frost King, he… he has already left this world. Even if he were to reincarnate, amidst this boundless sea of people, how could Supreme Sovereign Sister possibly locate him… Where could Supreme Sovereign Sister possibly even—”

Before the words “where to find” could escape her lips, Qin Lan’er found herself staring, dumbfounded, at the woman before her.

Within Qin Lan’er’s vision, the corners of Qin Siyao’s lips curved upwards slightly. That gentle smile seemed to encompass every hue imaginable.

It was the first time Qin Lan’er had ever witnessed her Supreme Sovereign Sister smile in such a manner.

So, Supreme Sovereign Sister could indeed smile.

And when Supreme Sovereign Sister truly smiled… she possessed such breathtaking beauty.

“Your elder sister does not know if she will find him,” Qin Siyao stated softly. “However… I despise being deceived above all else.”

Qin Siyao’s eyes crinkled as she smiled. She reached out, lightly tapping Qin Lan’er’s nose, her radiant smile akin to a galaxy cascading across the nocturnal expanse.

“Therefore…

“Elder Sister intends to find him.

“And when Elder Sister locates that oath-breaking, colossal liar…

“He shall face retribution.”
