Chapter 251

Wu Zetian nodded slightly and asked for the results.

A flicker of urgency passed through her phoenix eyes.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, your humble servant has not failed your trust."

"The foundations of the Great Yuan Empire truly differ from our own."

"This time, although I did not calculate the whereabouts of the Long Xiang Seng or the Lotus Life Buddha,"

"I have uncovered their secret."

Yuan Shoucheng smiled confidently.

As he spoke,

his previously pale complexion regained a faint flush.

"Oh? Tell me quickly!"

Wu Zetian was overjoyed upon hearing this.

She forgot imperial decorum and urged him urgently.

Know this:

She had only replied to the Great Yuan and delayed acting against the Qinglong Society precisely

because she was waiting for this moment.

Once she fully understood the Great Yuan's foundations,

when the time came to jointly destroy the Qinglong Society,

she could swiftly ally with the Qin Huang Dynasty

and wipe them out along the way!

Even though, in terms of national strength and foundations, there was no need to uncover their secrets at all.

If Qin and Tang joined forces, the Great Yuan would surely fall.

But her ambitions went far beyond this.

If she could fully comprehend the Great Yuan's information,

Tang could destroy the Great Yuan at the smallest possible cost.

Meanwhile, the Qin Huang Dynasty would pay a far greater price.

With this imbalance,

Qin's strength would surely be significantly weakened.

When the two empires eventually clashed, who would prevail? That was far from certain!!

"I dare not conceal it from Your Majesty."

"The Great Yuan's foundations all stem from the Mi Sect's reincarnation burden technique!"

"They raise a group of children with exceptional talent."

"From childhood, they train them; once they reach the limit of their progress, they arrange for them to carry a burden and reincarnate."

"Carrying memories and experience, they typically restore their cultivation in a very short time after reincarnation."

"Then they continue to cultivate in secret until they reach the limit again, and reincarnate once more."

"This cycle repeats endlessly until the ultimate limit is reached!"

Here,

Yuan Shoucheng paused.

Seeing the doubt on her face, he continued:

"Although their talents may be broadly similar, due to the brutal nature of their reincarnation burden technique,"

"each reincarnation allows them to forcibly devour the soul within the original host's body."

"This enhances their soul and expands their spiritual force,"

"indirectly raising their own upper limit."

"The most typical examples are the state protectors!"

"Whenever their lifespan nears its end or they reach an impasse, they do this."

"Of course, this technique is not without flaws."

"Each reincarnation burden carries an extremely high failure rate."

"If they fail, their souls scatter into nothingness."

"That is why the state protectors almost always wait until their lifespan is nearly over before doing this."

"Only a very few dare to disregard life and death and directly choose reincarnation burden!"

As his words ended,

the hall fell utterly silent, not even a pin could be heard dropping.

Wu Zetian tilted her head slightly, her lovely face filled with astonishment.

She had never imagined

that the Great Yuan possessed such an utterly terrifying technique!

One could imagine

how many gifted children they sacrificed each year for this!

Thinking of this,

Wu Zetian suddenly felt a pang of understanding.

No wonder

the Great Yuan's martial world had so few powerful cultivators.

The problem all stemmed from here.

"Indeed, no wonder you're someone with great ambition."

"To enhance their foundation by sacrificing so many geniuses!"

A flash of coldness passed through his eyes.

Wu Zetian let out a cold, emotionless hum.

Deep within her heart, a flicker of relief passed through.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, this reincarnation technique had flaws.

Otherwise,

It could almost be foreseen.

Merely with this one cultivation art,

Given enough time,

the Great Yuan Empire would surely crush all factions, unify the world, and claim the Nine Provinces!

With this thought,

Wu Zetian straightened her expression and spoke calmly.

"What are your thoughts on this matter, Minister?"

"This matter is simple enough: if we face an enemy, we need only awaken several of their past-life memories, and we shall be invincible!"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled slightly and gave his answer.

Memories from multiple lifetimes would erupt at once.

That vast, overwhelming amount of information,

even if the soul were strongest, even if spiritual power were terrifying,

would likely shatter their mind in an instant!

Even cause them to perish on the spot!

Thus,

is it not absolute invincibility!!

"If that is so, then I entrust this matter to you, Minister."

"Be sure to devise a method to awaken their memories as soon as possible."

"I can hardly wait!"

Wu Zetian nodded in satisfaction.

A faint smile curled at her lips.
