Chapter 892

Later, he also heard that within the Divine Weapon Hall, there were not only immortal-grade divine weapons, but also the hope of advancing to god-grade divine weapons.

These highest-ranking figures of the Great Tang flashed a trace of fervor in their eyes.

Although the cultivation of most of the Great Tang's civil and military officials was not very high,

anyone who practiced martial arts did not yearn for divine weapons, especially immortal-grade or even god-grade divine weapons!

Even if they could not possess one, just laying eyes on it would be good enough!

Amid the envy of the crowd, Wu Zhao did not continue to introduce the Qinglong Summit at length, but instead turned to speak of the Qinglong Society's mission.

Upon hearing that completing the Qinglong Society's mission offered the hope of exchanging for immortal-grade or even god-grade treasures,

even though these Great Tang civil and military officials were either rich or noble, at this moment they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

Zhang Jianzhi could not help but interject,

"Your Majesty, what is our Great Tang's mission?"

The ministers' gazes burned in succession as they looked at Wu Zetian, hoping she would reveal this mission.

After all, a mission that could exchange for immortal-grade or even god-grade treasures was simply too tempting.

If possible, they truly would be willing to spare nothing to exchange for this mission!

"Our Great Tang's mission — there's no rush to speak of it first."

Wu Zhao played coy, not following Zhang Jianzhi's lead to speak directly of the Great Tang mission, but instead pointed at Chahetai and said,

"The one who ascended the Qinglong Summit this time for the Great Yuan is Chahetai.

While on the Qinglong Summit, not only did he show great care toward Us,

after descending the Qinglong Summit, he even abandoned darkness for light, bringing the Great Yuan's mission and directly submitting himself beneath Our banner.

My lords, do you feel that one Qinglong Society mission is enough to enfeoff a king?"

The ministers heard this and could not help but feel enlightened.

So this Chahetai — the third prince of the Great Yuan — actually took one Qinglong Society mission, a mission sufficient to exchange for immortal-grade or even god-grade treasures, to trade for a Great Tang royal title?

This is simply...

wonderful!

Although quite a few people, upon hearing this, inwardly despised Chahetai's behavior as nearly selling out his country,

this did not prevent the ministers from endorsing Wu Zhao's reasoning.

"Your Majesty is most wise!"

Led by Di Renjie, the ministers prostrated themselves in submission.

"Very well! Since all of you agree, then from this day forth, Chahetai shall be enfeoffed as the Yuan Wang of Great Tang, the title hereditary in perpetuity.

The Court of Imperial Sacrifices and the Court of State Ceremonies are ordered to make preparations at once for the Yuan Wang's coronation."

Wu Zhao saw that, having become the Great Tang's empress, her first proposal had finally passed, and could not help but feel a little pleased.

Although in that other world, she was also an empress, also a woman whose word was final,

this Great Tang and that Great Tang were, after all, not the same thing.

"As Your Majesty commands!"

The Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies naturally stepped forward at once to acknowledge the order.

"Your subject Chahetai thanks Heaven for this grace!"

Chahetai was immensely excited; this time not only had his little life been spared, he had also been enfeoffed as the Yuan Wang of Great Tang.

Although, looking at things now, this Yuan Wang carried a somewhat hollow-shell meaning,

Chahetai understood clearly that as long as he clung tightly to the empress's thigh, one day he could make this Yuan Wang a substantive title.

"Yuan Wang need not stand on so much ceremony — rise!"

Wu Zhao knew that, within the Great Tang court, she had gained yet another trusted confidant.

Thus she waved her hand, signaling Chahetai to rise.

"Congratulations to the Yuan Wang, felicitations to the Yuan Wang."

Once Chahetai rose, the ministers naturally offered a round of congratulations.

This made Chahetai feel even more elated, feeling that what he had done this time was not bad at all.

After a bout of commotion, they proceeded once more to the next item of business.

Originally Di Renjie and the others still wanted to know what the Great Tang's mission, or the Great Yuan's mission, actually was.

But Wu Zhao did not announce it publicly, and instead said,

"Regarding the three ultimate divine arts recorded on this Heavenly Dao Golden List, and the Sword Emperor's absolute learnings — do any of you have thoughts?"

The Three Ultimates Divine Art could be said to have forged three Heavenly Dao Golden List-level masters: Xiong Ba, Dongfang Sheng, and Xiong Wu.

It also produced three masters who had dominated Yunzhou for many years: Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Seeing Nie Feng.

After this Heavenly Dao Golden List's exposure, people all over the world vied with one another to find the Three Ultimates Divine Art.

Now, on the great roads leading to Yunzhou, the paths were already filled with Wu Lin figures.

Di Renjie's storming of the palace this time was precisely for the sake of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Hearing Wu Zhao's question, he immediately replied,

"Your subject feels we should invite Lord Tianmo, and if necessary also invite the Xuanxin Sect's Sect Master Jin Guang, my lord, to journey together to Yunzhou."

The Three Ultimates Divine Art was truly too tempting.

Di Renjie actually felt that one Cang Ju alone might not be safe enough, and even prepared to have Jin Guang ride out together!

On the road back to Great Tang, Wu Zhao had already been given a thorough briefing by Zhang Wuxia.

She knew that Tianmo Cang Ju and the Xuanxin Sect's Sect Master Jin Guang were the two most outstanding top-tier experts Great Tang currently possessed.

Either one of them, at will, possessed the ability to turn the tide of battle.

Now hearing that Di Renjie intended to send the two of them together, Wu Zhao actually thought it was not bad,

"It can be done, but Di Qing, have you actually found out where the Three Absolutes Divine Art currently is?"

Actually, who to send was not the most important thing; rather, the current whereabouts of the Three Absolutes Divine Art was the key.

First, Xiong Ba certainly knows the complete Three Absolutes Divine Art; he even worked backward from it to create the Three Returns of Earth Yuan Qi on his own.

But Xiong Ba's whereabouts are now erratic and uncertain — how could one find him?

Then there is Dongfang Sheng, but he is far away in Fuyu, and moreover, the materials Di Renjie pulled up make it even harder to pin down his movements.

Next come the three: Qin Shuang, Seeing Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun.

Qin Shuang was taken back to Fuyu by Dongfang Sheng; finding him would be even harder than finding Dongfang Sheng.

Seeing Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are people of the Qinglong Society; unless necessary, no one dares to plot against them.

Actually, in the end there is one and only one route.

That is to go find the State-Protecting Worshipper of the Yunzhou Dynasty — Xiong Ba's junior brother, Xiong Wu!

This man not only has the complete set of the Three Absolutes Divine Art, but also possesses the Three Yuan Return to One inherited from the Three Absolutes Elder.

Di Renjie laid out all the various circumstances right there in court.

Only now did Wu Zhao realize that a single Three Absolutes Divine Art was actually so complicated.

"In that case, the only option is to go to the Yunzhou Dynasty and demand the person?"

"For now, this is the fastest method."

Actually, unless necessary, Di Renjie did not think making an enemy of Yunzhou was a good thing either.

But the Three Absolutes Divine Art was indeed very tempting.

"But Yunzhou's strength is certainly not weak either, is it?"

Wu Zhao actually did not care — after all, this Great Tang did not truly belong to her anyway.

But the role she was now playing was the Empress of Great Tang, so naturally she could not afford to play it poorly.

"Moreover, we now have two Qinglong Society missions; to complete these two missions, I'm afraid we'll also need quite a few people."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Di Renjie had actually previously wanted to invite Cang Qu and Jin Guang to act together — he truly had not expected there would also be Qinglong Society missions.

"Then this minister suggests we simply send people to keep watch on Xiong Wu.

The moment another force obtains the Three Absolutes Divine Art from him, we move to act."

"Good! Leave this to the Luan Guard!"

Wu Zhao knew the strength of the Great Tang Luan Guard and immediately made the final call.
