Chapter 878

"My lords, is this Three Absolutes Divine Art truly so miraculous?"

He was, of course, addressing the Hundred Schools of Thought within the Orchid Pool Hall.

Although the Hundred Schools of Thought were not necessarily all that powerful, the richness of their martial archives was truly unmatched throughout Great Qin.

"Your Majesty! Heaven Frost Fist, Cloud-Dispersing Palm, and Wind God Leg — each one is merely an Earth-grade Wu Gong.

This old man truly cannot fathom why three Earth-grade divine arts, when combined, could possess such fearsome power."

The Confucian representative, Xun Qing, was the first to step forward and speak.

Generally, every scholar under heaven had to read through the Confucian classics, so the Confucians' intelligence was in fact extremely rich and timely.

After Yunzhou's return, the Lesser Sage Village had already sent people to Yunzhou to gather related intelligence.

At that time, the Heaven's Will Society was the overlord of Yunzhou, and Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang were the three Hall Masters.

Information on their Wu Gong, cultivation, and so on was naturally a key target for the Lesser Sage Village's intelligence gathering.

Therefore, Xun Qing also knew a little about Heaven Frost Fist, Cloud-Dispersing Palm, and Wind God Leg.

He had originally assumed these three Wu Gong were quite extraordinary, capable of stirring celestial phenomena.

But upon seeing the evaluation of the three Wu Gong, he immediately lost interest.

After all, Earth-grade Wu Gong were more than plentiful even within the Lesser Sage Village.

He could not even finish learning his own sect's Wu Gong, so naturally these three Wu Gong did not catch Xun Qing's eye.

As a result, the Confucians had never even thought of gathering these three Wu Gong.

"Quite right! Your Majesty, at that time the Lu Wushuang City upheaval—"

Zhang Han also stepped forward at this moment and said,

"Although Nie Feng had the Wind God Leg, his actual strength was extremely limited.

If not for the fact that he carried the blood of the Mad Demon and ultimately entered the path of the Mad Demon,

then relying solely on the Wind God Leg, he would have been buried in Lu Wushuang City."

In that battle at Lu Wushuang City back then, it was indeed the case that if not for Nie Feng's unique bloodline, he would likely have perished with regrets at Lu Wushuang City.

"Your Majesty, this Three Absolutes Divine Art may indeed have its unique merits."

Moon God also spoke at this moment,

"But Xiong Ba's achievements today came first from scheming to absorb Yunzhou's destiny.

Later, by some unknown means, he colluded with demons from beyond the heavens.

Furthermore, the Eastern Sage also only achieved his present accomplishments by merging the Sword Emperor's ultimate art with the Three Absolutes Divine Art into one.

Therefore, in my view, although the Three Absolutes Divine Art is miraculous, it should not be the case that one could soar to the heavens relying on the Three Absolutes Divine Art alone.

Otherwise, the Xiongwu of that Yunzhou imperial dynasty also possessed the Three Absolutes Divine Art — why did he not make a leap forward?

And the source of the Three Absolutes Divine Art, the Old Man of Three Absolutes — why was he poisoned to death by Xiong Ba?"

Moon God's words were both reasonable and well-grounded in analysis.

The representatives of the Hundred Schools of Thought who listened all nodded in agreement.

Hearing Ying Zheng finish, he could not help but nod as well,

"Moon God's words are well spoken.

However, regardless of whether it was the Three Absolutes Divine Art that forged Xiong Ba's and the Eastern Sage's present achievements,

these three Wu Gong, I must obtain them."

"As you command!"

Zhang Han, Moon God, and the others immediately straightened and obeyed.

In truth, they too were extremely curious about the Three Absolutes Divine Art.

Even if Hearing Ying Zheng had not said so, they would certainly have gone to Yunzhou to find a way to obtain the Three Absolutes Divine Art.

"Then what of the Sword Emperor's ultimate art?"

Zhang Han recalled what was recorded on the Heavenly Dao Golden List and asked Hearing Ying Zheng again.

"Sword Emperor Mu Yingxiong, it is said, is renowned alongside Nameless."

Hearing Ying Zheng frowned slightly, then turned to question Zhang Han,

"Who in my Great Qin do you think could defeat a master of Nameless's caliber and obtain his life's ultimate art from him!"

Zhang Han paused at these words.

Although to this day, Nameless had never once ascended the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

in reality, every martial artist knew that Nameless's appearance on the list was only a matter of time.

After all, Nameless had once gone alone with a single sword to the Great Yuan Imperial City.

Heaven Sword slaying gods and demons — what a magnificent feat!

Furthermore, from the records of this Heavenly Dao Golden List, Nameless had even protected Xiong Ba from Xiao Aoshi's hands.

The Sword Emperor is renowned alongside Nameless — how many such masters are there in Great Qin?

And after defeating him, to obtain his life's ultimate art — how could that even be possible?

Unless…

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke,

"This subject naturally cannot, but if the Chief Protectorate of the State, Lord Yin, were to take the field, success would surely be assured!"

Yin Zhong's strength was truly extraordinary.

Looking across all of Great Qin, not a single person could see through his cultivation.

Moreover, since Yin Zhong took up the post of Great Qin's Chief Protectorate of the State, he had in truth rarely made a move.

Whether it was Zhang Han or anyone else, they were all very curious about Yin Zhong's true strength.

If Ying Zheng truly wanted the Three Absolutes Divine Art and the Sword Emperor's ultimate technique, he would send Yin Zhong.

First, it would reveal Yin Zhong's true strength.

Second, it would secure the Sword Emperor's ultimate technique without fail.

Although they too did not know whether Yin Zhong could defeat the Sword Emperor Mu Yingxiong.

But if even Yin Zhong could not do it, then the Great Qin would have no hope of obtaining the Sword Emperor's ultimate technique.

"Mm!"

Ying Zheng listened to Zhang Han's suggestion and fell into deep thought.

He was, in truth, also extremely curious about Yin Zhong's strength.

After all, ever since Yin Zhong had surrendered to Great Qin, he had never once taken action again.

But was it feasible to send Yin Zhong out over such a trivial matter?

Moreover, Yin Zhong had been in closed-door cultivation all this time — would going to summon him now disturb him?

Yet thinking of the Sword Emperor's ultimate technique, combined with the Three Absolutes Divine Art, possessing such terrifying power—

It had lifted Dongfang Sheng directly from a Land Immortal to the peak of the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Thinking of the immense temptation within, Ying Zheng immediately made his decision,

"Good, I shall send Yin Zhong at once…"

"No, that won't do!"

Just as Ying Zheng decided to send Yin Zhong into action, a person stumbled and staggered in from outside the Lanchi Palace.

In Great Qin, Qin Huang Ying Zheng was the supreme, unchallenged authority.

Even though the former Imperial Prince Zichu had now returned from Lishan, his strength once more reaching Master Tongtian.

Yet everyone in Great Qin, high and low, held Qin Huang as their sovereign.

Only because he had ascended the throne in his youth, with extraordinary skill.

He had led Great Qin from being one of the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties to claiming the throne of the foremost dynasty.

Were it not for the sudden rise of the Feiqinglong Society, Great Qin would likely have already begun its march to unify the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, throughout all of Great Qin — and one could even say within the Lanchi Palace itself — not a single person dared to be so rude.

In an instant, the assembled ministers and the representatives of the Hundred Schools of Thought all turned their gazes toward the entrance of Lanchi Palace.

To see which reckless, ignorant soul dared to block Qin Huang at the very moment he gave an order.

Did this person not want to live?

There was even a fawning toady who had already resolved that, no matter who it turned out to be, as soon as he saw clearly, he would immediately leap out and impeach them.
