Zhang Xuezhou has always pursued opportunities brought about by luck, which makes luck seem harmless.

However, manipulation techniques are categorized under Incantation Technique.

Incantation Technique also possess the longest casting range among all Technique Method.

Zhang Xuezhou never expected that by using the imperial palace's fortune to cultivate, and by unexpectedly discovering another form of the Dragon Ball, he could also connect with Ying Fusu's father.

"The situation with the Qingzhou Cauldron has been investigated. It was that incompetent old demon, Zhu Jiuyin, who caused the trouble. His body was sacrificed to the Qingzhou Cauldron, making him unable to move. Your Majesty, I let him stain the palace with blood and almost scraped off his flesh. Unfortunately, he was skilled in deception and escaped!"

Zhang Xuezhou was someone who had once managed to evade the scrutiny of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, and he had also interacted with monarchs, great cultivators, and those who held real power.

He was still in a state of magical manipulation, disguised as Ying Fusu.

If they were face-to-face, it would be fine, but with an endless distance between them, there's clearly a chance he could deceive them.

The matter was reported simply, and the blurry figure of the emperor nodded in agreement.

"Although Zhu Jiuyin is incompetent, he has survived many years of risks. You need to maintain sufficient respect to avoid falling into a dangerous situation!"

"Your subject understands!"

When faced with Emperor Qin's instruction, Zhang Xuezhou did not refute it, but instead responded with utmost respect.

"Let him escape if he wants. Zhu Jiuyin has no ambition and only wants to live a life of ease. Such a monster is not worth worrying about!"

Zhang Xuezhou's submissiveness was clearly pleasing, and even though there were regrets, the Emperor Qin did not pursue the matter further.

"Whether it was Zhu Jiuyin spreading rumors or some other story, some outsiders said that taking the Nine Dragon Cauldrons would locate them, and then there were rumors that the Qin Dynasty would return as it approached its centenary!"

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his head and, while bowing, asked the question without making a sound.

Emperor Qin could not be dismissed with just a few words. The other party did not disappear after receiving the information, which allowed Zhang Xuezhou to quickly regain the initiative in the communication and avoid being led astray by Emperor Qin, thus preventing any flaws in his responses.

"Humans are the most intelligent beings in the Three Realms, and also the most gifted in cultivation. The difference between them and demons, immortals, and gods lies in the time they have spent cultivating. My father used the art of life and death to extend the lives of my Qin soldiers by a hundred years. Once this hundred years have passed, it will be the time for these demons and monsters to perish," the Emperor Qin said in a deep voice. "The Nine Dragon Cauldrons were merely the magical Law Artifact my father used to cultivate and condense his elixir. They have no connection to the Nine Cauldrons. The more casualties they suffer while fighting for them, the more advantageous it will be for Qin!"

"Father is right!"

Zhang Xuezhou's heart skipped a beat.

The story of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons being linked to the Nine Cauldrons is false, but the story of Emperor Qin is true.

On one side is an emperor who can no longer shoulder the burden, and on the other side is Laojun returning with a sharpened sword. If they were to clash, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Great Han Dynasty would be doomed.

"When the Nine Cauldrons are unearthed and resound together, that will be the day we return to the world. You do not need to go out and gather information now. Quickly return to strengthen your body to avoid being weak when you conquer the four directions in the future. In particular, the strength of those immortals in the Immortal Court is hard to know, and your father is also afraid that it will be difficult to ensure everything goes smoothly," said the Emperor Qin.

"Yes!"

After a couple of brief exchanges, Zhang Xuezhou sensed that the Emperor Qin seemed indifferent to many things, even appearing to be wrapping up his sentence, which prompted him to quickly agree.

Once he got past this hurdle, he didn't care who the Emperor Qin was.

Zhang Xuezhou refused to believe that the Emperor Qin stayed up until dawn specifically to target him.

His current residence is too far away, so he was left in the palace. After he moves, it is unlikely that he will live in the palace, and he will rarely choose to practice his skills during this period.

"Fusu, your strength seems to be waning?"

Just when Zhang Xuezhou thought everything was over, Emperor Qin asked a casual question, which startled him.

While the body's movements could be replicated perfectly, it was impossible for Zhang Xuezhou to possess the same level of skill as Ying Fusu. The Emperor Qin had clearly already noticed the difference.

This also demonstrates the difference in skill level between Ying Fusu and Zhang Xuezhou; Ying Fusu was indeed a cut above Zhang Xuezhou.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't used a variety of techniques, and if Zhu Jiuyin hadn't combined his skills to break Ying Fusu's body, he would have inevitably been defeated and forced out of the game.

Quickly recalling the relevant circumstances of the campaign, and remembering that Ying Fusu had once asked the Emperor Qin for help, Zhang Xuezhou understood why the Emperor Qin had come to search for him.

This wasn't just because of the Dragon Ball; Ying Fusu had clearly left behind some kind of guiding mechanism, which led the Emperor Qin to search for him.

"There was an insignificant demon king by Zhu Jiuyin's side. I didn't expect him to possess magical abilities, and I was caught off guard and suffered a blow. However, I killed him and even seized a magical artifact from him!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the dragon pearl that emitted a faint glow.

From taking control of the discourse to the conclusion, then back to Emperor Qin regaining control, and finally to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation, the shifts in power were extremely rapid.

Even if it's just a few casual words, it's related to a life-or-death struggle, so Zhang Xuezhou can't afford to relax for a second.

At this time, he was also trying his best to sever all ties and to reassure the Emperor Qin so that he could return home and go into seclusion.

"This artifact can reflect every detail of your body; it must be an extraordinary object," said the Emperor Qin.

"I can't see my father clearly in this treasure," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"It is easy to see the small through the big, but difficult to see the big through the small!"

The Emperor Qin laughed heartily, and the solemn atmosphere melted away like ice and snow, lessening his sense of dread.

"To be able to observe me through the Nine Tripods, this object is truly extraordinary," the Emperor Qin laughed. "However, even Your Majesty doesn't know its origin. We'll gather a wisp of its aura and ask Xu Fu about it, and then we'll know!"

"This..."

Zhang Xuezhou had just opened his mouth when Emperor Qin reached out and probed.

As if captured from afar, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he were being caressed.

The white glow emitted by the Dragon Balls flickered like a flame blown by the wind before returning to normal.

Being able to reach him meant that their enmity and conflict would inevitably escalate into war, which silenced Zhang Xuezhou.

While enjoying the benefits of the magic, Zhang Xuezhou also clearly encountered its entanglements. Various unexpected events were hard to prevent, and a slight misstep could lead to high risks.

Going left is one possibility, and going right is another.

The higher the risk, the calmer Zhang Xuezhou remained.

The Emperor Qin had not disappeared, and it was clear that summoning Xu Fu would not be difficult for the other party; they were even certain that they could get an answer in a short time.

Zhang Xuezhou saw fireflies flickering on the blurry figure of the Qin Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin head was lowered as if listening to something.

"My son is truly remarkable!"

After a long while, the Emperor Qin raised his head and began to praise him.

"Father has always thought you were weak-willed, hesitant and soft-hearted in the face of adversity. He never expected you to achieve such success in this battle. Xu Fu said this artifact draws upon a wisp of dragon's fortune, seemingly a remnant of the dragon clan's destiny. It resonates with the Emperor's dragon fortune, bringing peace and health. It can be inlaid into certain treasures, transforming them into unique artifacts with boundless wonders!"

After receiving praise and corrections, the Emperor Qin explained the uses of the Dragon Pearl.

This expression is clearly rather vague for Zhang Xuezhou.

Furthermore, the Dragon Balls have already shattered into pieces, so there's no way they could be embedded in any treasure.

However, the fact that he could discern so much from just a wisp of aura made Zhang Xuezhou realize that the Qin Dynasty was full of talented people, after all, his dragon pearl did indeed originate from the dragon race.

"The best material for transporting artifacts is the He Shi Jade Bi, which was used to make the Imperial Seal of our Great Qin. The next best is the Sui Hou Pearl, which, although slightly inferior, is still a rare item. Father Emperor never used this pearl back then. Now that you have awakened and obtained this treasure, using the pearl to enlighten you is quite an fortuitous opportunity," said the Emperor Qin.

"Yes!"

"The Suihou Pearl should have been taken by someone. Once you find it, recite 'By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous' three times to retrieve the pearl. Cut the pearl in half and drip blood into it to gain control of it. Then, you can use it to enhance and fuse with other items!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed.

From actively taking the lead in the conversation to passively accepting it, when he was proactive, he spoke more to guide the discussion, while when he was passive, he clearly preferred to say as little as possible.

After giving his instructions, Zhang Xuezhou watched as the Emperor Qin's figure gradually blurred, which relieved him.

"I will be watching over you. Come back as soon as this is over!"

As he disappeared, Emperor Qin seemed to remember something and left behind a sentence, which immediately worsened Zhang Xuezhou's mood.
