The emperor appeared

Inside the Palace, everyone stared at the Bronze Coffin suspended in the center. Who lay within that coffin? Why did it require nine Spirit Vein to suppress it? And why were there twelve Golden Man puppet, each comparable to Great Accomplishment Stage expert, guarding it from the outside?

"Want to take a look?" Ying Xiaocui asked anxiously, staring at the Bronze Coffin suspended in mid-air by nine Chains.

Not only Ying Xiaocui, but everyone else was equally uneasy.

Guarded by Twelve Golden Figures and suppressed by nine Spirit Vein, this Bronze Coffin floats in mid-air. Everyone is curious about who lies inside, but they are also terrified of the unknown.

"Since we're all here, of course we have to see it." Hearing Ying Xiaocui's words and seeing everyone's uneasy expressions, Zhuge Xiang was quite carefree. As he spoke, he jumped directly onto the Bronze Coffin, reached out his palm, and tried to lift the coffin Coffin Lid.

"No matter who's lying inside, they're just a dead person now."

With Zhuge Xiang's strength, even though the Coffin Lid of this Bronze Coffin weighed over ten thousand jin, he easily lifted it. At the same time, the corpse inside the Bronze Coffin appeared in front of Zhuge Xiang, looking at the person Bronze Coffin.

Even though Zhuge Xiang was mentally prepared to face anything, he was still stunned.

"So? Who is lying inside?" Seeing Zhuge Xiang's stunned expression upon seeing the corpse in the Bronze Coffin, Ying Wushuang couldn't help but ask. As she finished speaking, several Princes and Princesses also flew up, their gazes falling on the Bronze Coffin.

Inside the Bronze Coffin lay a man, appearing to be around forty years old. Although merely a corpse, he exuded an incredibly powerful aura. More importantly, this man wore a yellow robe emblazoned with Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Crown on his head, and a hazy golden mist emanating from his body, forming dragon shapes that appeared and disappeared. This mist was not spiritual energy, but rather the National Fortune...

If Zhuge Xiang n't witnessed the remnants of the National Fortune of the Six Nations within the Hundred Emperors Pagoda, he would never have been able to discern that the person within the Bronze Coffin was actually imbued with the remnants of National Fortune...

"Wearing a dragon robe and a crown? Could this be an emperor of the Qin Dynasty?" Prince Zhao Kai of the Song Dynasty asked in surprise, looking at the attire of the corpse in the bronze coffin.

"No, the Dragon Robe of my Great Qin Empire are mainly Purple-Gold, not pure gold. Moreover, the style of the Dragon Robe and Crown is not like this," Ying Dongsheng shook his head and denied as Zhao Kai finished speaking.

"That's true," Zhao Kai nodded upon hearing Ying Dongsheng's words. The Dragon Robe and Crown worn by the Great Qin Emperor at the Birthday Banquet were indeed very different from those worn by the corpse in the Bronze Coffin, a complete difference in style.

"But within the territory of your Great Qin Empire, if the emperor's corpse is not from your Great Qin Empire, then from which country?" Zhu Xiaoxi of the Great Ming Dynasty asked in return, her face full of doubt.

Unfortunately, Ying Dongsheng couldn't answer her question. They also wanted to know: who was the corpse Bronze Coffin within the Mount Xiao Imperial Palace?

"This Crown and Dragon Robe are in the style of the Great Tang Dynasty," Zhuge Xiang said at this moment. His expression was extremely complex, a mixture of shock, surprise, joy, and many other emotions...

Indeed, upon seeing the corpse in the Bronze Coffin, Zhuge Xiang found it difficult to remain calm. He was first shocked, but then overjoyed, because the corpse in the Bronze Coffin looked exactly like the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty!

Why did Zhuge Xiang return to the Great Qin Empire this time? The reason is simple: to find Evidence the emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty was switched or controlled.

Originally, Zhuge Xiang hadn't made any substantial progress since arriving in the Great Qin Empire and was at his wit's end when, unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared. Zhuge Xiang was certain that this corpse was his most significant discovery.

"Could it be? This is the real emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the current emperor of the Great Tang is just an imposter with a similar appearance?" Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself as he looked at the corpse in the Bronze Coffin.

Although this was just speculation, Zhuge Xiang believed that this corpse was definitely a very important piece of Evidence. With that in mind, Zhuge Xiang did not hesitate and immediately took action to collect the corpse.

In the Great Qin Imperial Palace, the Great Qin Emperor sat leaning against the headboard of his bed. During his Birthday Banquet, the invasion of the Hungry Ghost Path had occurred. Although the billions of Zombie Hungry Ghost had been exterminated, dealing with the corpses afterwards was indeed a troublesome matter. There was also the repair work on the Imperial Palace's defensive array. Fortunately, the work had finally been completed in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, we should rest..."

On the Dragon Bed, a young concubine leaned gently against the emperor, her slender hands provocatively roaming over his muscular body. Her eyes were alluring, and her long, black hair cascaded down like clouds. Half-naked, her body was visible from the emperor's angle, revealing two firm, plump mounds of flesh.

However, the emperor showed little interest in this scene today. He simply patted the concubine's beautiful cheek and said, "You go to sleep first. I have some matters to attend to."

The events that occurred at the Birthday Banquet a few days ago were quite shocking even to the Great Qin Emperor. The Great Qin Empire has always been a gathering place for powerful figures, but at his level, he was already aware of the situation.

In the Great Qin Empire, there are only a handful of top experts, including myself. You can count them on one hand. Although being the emperor means being busy with countless affairs of state and wasting a lot of time, the position of emperor also has great advantages. Therefore, the Great Qin Emperor has already cultivated the Imperial World Shocking Merit to the twelfth level.

In the Great Qin Empire, if one were to say that there were few opponents that he was not confident he could defeat, it would be Luo Ba and True Person Changfeng. However, at the Birthday Banquet, the Golden Body Bodhisattva suppressed Luo Ba one after another and broke True Person Changfeng's Imperial Edict Heavenly Book. His incomparably powerful strength was comparable to that of Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens.

Secondly, the old man who appeared later was even able to easily suppress the powerful Golden Body Bodhisattva, suggesting that he was even stronger...

Finally, there was the mysterious person who rescued the Golden Body Bodhisattva. Although he only made one move, a true expert can tell a lot with just one move. With that one move, the Great Qin Emperor knew that the other party's strength far surpassed his own.

These three powerful individuals all displayed strength surpassing their own. Where did these three come from? Why did these three peerless experts suddenly appear, comparable to Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens?

Thinking of the mysterious old man who had easily defeated the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the emperor recalled the words the old man had spoken to him when he left: the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave held secrets, and might even be able to help him comprehend the Final Layer the Imperial World Shocking Merit?

The Great Qin Emperor had been striving to Imperial World Shocking Merit, but as an emperor, his status was extraordinary, unlike other Cultivator who could devote themselves entirely to cultivation. Therefore, the Great Qin Emperor rarely had the time to cultivate diligently.

Originally, the Great Qin Emperor wasn't particularly enthusiastic about breaking through to the Final Layer. After all, his cultivation had already reached the Great Accomplishment Stage, and he was undoubtedly one of the strongest at the very top of the pyramid in the entire Great Qin Empire. However, when he thought of the three Mysterious Experts who appeared at his Birthday Banquet, the Great Qin Emperor felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and his thirst for power grew stronger.

"The Xiaoshan Sacred Cave?" Upon realizing this, the Great Qin Emperor could no longer remain still. He rose abruptly and vanished into thin air, ignoring the concubines waiting for his favor on the dragon bed.

As the emperor of Great Qin, he naturally knew about the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave. At the same time, the Great Qin Emperor also knew that the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave was a Forbidden Ground. From the beginning of the founding of the country, his ancestors had made it clear that no member of the Ying Clan was allowed to set foot in the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave.

Later on, even the Princes and Princesses were unaware of the existence of the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave. Only when a new emperor ascended the throne would he be informed of the taboos and location of the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave.

"Huh? Why is the door open?" However, when the Great Qin Emperor arrived at the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave, he was slightly surprised to see the door of the Mount Xiao Imperial Palace open.

This Xiaoshan Sacred Cave is Forbidden Ground Great Qin Dynasty. Who could possibly enter? Moreover, it holds the opportunity for him to break through to the Thirteenth Layer of Imperial World Shocking Merit. How could he allow it to be destroyed by someone else? Thinking of this, the Great Qin Emperor could not wait any longer and rushed into the Imperial Palace at full speed.

The Imperial Palace was not large, Great Qin Emperor who rushed into the Imperial Palace naturally saw Zhuge Xiang and his group at a glance.

To be honest, there are nine Spirit Vein in this Imperial Palace. Even the Great Qin Emperor was secretly surprised. He was also very curious about the person lying in the Bronze Coffin. However, when he saw Zhuge Xiang open the Coffin Lid of the Bronze Coffin and put away the stones inside, the Emperor could no longer hold back.

"Stop!" The Great Qin Emperor shouted, striking Zhuge Xiang with a palm.

As Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage Realm, and possessing the Imperial World Shocking Merit, the Great Qin Emperor struck out with a palm strike to force Zhuge Xiang back. Naturally, given the Great Qin Emperor's cultivation level and strength, Zhuge Xiang, not wanting to perish, was forced back by the palm strike.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Upon seeing that the people who made the move were the Great Qin Emperor, Zhu Xiaoxi of Great Ming, and Zhao Kai of the Great Song Dynasty, they hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Greetings, Father Emperor!" Several Princes and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty knelt down and respectfully addressed the emperor.

However, the Great Qin Emperor ignored both his own Princes and Princesses, as well as Zhu Xiaoxi and Zhao Kai, and instead focused his attention on Zhuge Xiang, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhuge, there is something very important here, concerning my cultivation. Please do not interfere." (To be continued...)
