Chapter 477



477 The God King

After hearing the advice from his most loyal subject, Qin Shang hesitated for a moment.

This was very rare.

For the throne, he had paid the price of most of his emotions, but at least his desire and goal were still there. And this time, he was going to pay for all of this.

But,

“There’s no turning back.” Qin Shang said.

He had already told her what he needed to tell her, so he had nothing else to say.

Under Fang Ziliang’s worried gaze, Qin Shang strode forward.

The gate of the palace opened on its own. Outside the door, a dozen or so expressionless cultivators wearing white robes with golden runes embedded in them were already waiting.

These people, of course, had different appearances and heights, but their gazes and expressions were all surprisingly the same. They all had an indifferent, serious appearance, and the same temperament.

They bowed slightly to Qin Shang.

“Let’s go,” Qin Shang said.

……

In the city above the clouds, the cult Master of the great Qin State cult, Huo Xian, was sitting in his seat. He had already received the news that Qin Shang had set off.

There was no change in his solemn expression. He slowly raised his head and looked at the clouds in the distance. He slowly said, ” “God King law, your body has arrived.”

An ethereal voice sounded, ” “That’s good. Have the bodies of my eight divine generals been prepared?”

“It’s already prepared. However, when can I use my body?”

“For Scandinavia, it’ll be quick. However, there’s a small bug in Yingying that still needs to be dealt with.”

“What?” Huo Xian was confused.

“I’ve already marked him in your mind. Go.”

……

Lu Qing dodged a beam of golden flames. He turned around and looked at Huo Xian, who was chasing after him, with a tinge of regret.

Lu Qing had not been in Chang ‘an fortress for a long time.

Long ago, the Yan Kingdom had already arranged for many spies to enter the Qin Kingdom. In the foreseeable future, there would be a decisive battle between the two countries. Under such circumstances, it was necessary to figure out the other party’s background as much as possible.

However, the activities of Great Yan’s embroidered uniform guards in great Qin did not go smoothly.

In other parts of great Qin, things would be easier, but the closer they got to Chang ‘an city, the more difficult it would be for the embroidered uniform guards to continue their infiltration.

They would always be easily caught, and even those who were caught would not know how they were exposed.

Later on, they discovered that this was a problem caused by ‘faith’.

The people of Qin mostly believed in the orthodoxy. The spies from the Yan Kingdom, of course, did not have such a belief. It wasn’t that they didn’t know how to disguise themselves, but whether they could disguise themselves well enough and hide from others depended on their own abilities.

Those who weren’t capable enough or didn’t take this matter seriously from the beginning would naturally fall for it.

After that, the Jinyiwei concluded their failure and adjusted their strategy.

However, there would be new problems.

A considerable number of spies had become believers of the orthodoxy in order to better disguise themselves. However, a very strange thing happened-although this greatly reduced the risk of being exposed and caught, often a considerable number of people would inexplicably choose to join the enemy after hiding for a period of time.

This kind of loss was more terrible than death.

On this matter, the embroidered uniform guards had really hurt their heads.

Fortunately, there were two direct descendants of the Lu clan who had infiltrated the city. Although one of them had been caught and killed, the other was cautious and careful enough to not go out to find out more. He did not even enter Chang ‘an city and only moved around in the periphery. Thus, he was not exposed.

Lu Qing had used this person to send his consciousness to this place. He had entered Chang ‘an fortress and tried to gather information.

His first choice was, of course, the great Qin Imperial Palace. He had also witnessed the parting conversation between the Qin Emperor and Fang Ziliang.

This made him very curious about the city above the clouds.

That place was also a place that he needed to explore. Hence, he decided to go to the city above the clouds before the Qin Emperor and Qin Shang.

When Lu Qing entered the palace on top of the clouds, he felt an immense pressure. Although this aura did not directly affect the movement of his higher consciousness form, it gave him a constant warning with his spiritual sense.

He walked towards the core of the city above the clouds, trying to obtain as much information as possible.

Then, not long after he arrived at the core of the city above the clouds, a golden beam of light suddenly shot towards him.

Fortunately, Lu Qing had been on high alert ever since he entered the city above the clouds and felt the terrifying pressure. He did not act recklessly just because he was in a higher consciousness form and felt that no one could hurt him.

As a result, he was able to easily Dodge and escape the Golden beam.

However, this matter itself was already very concerning.

My higher consciousness form has been discovered?

Lu Qing had a rough idea of what could detect his higher consciousness form or what would react to it.

There were only three possibilities-demons, gods, and primordial Immortals.

There didn’t seem to be any demonic energy here, so could there be an inheritance of an ancient immortal here?

Lu Qing thought about it for a moment and ruled out this possibility.

It didn’t look like it at all.

This power was filled with dignity and solemness. Lu Qing knew that among the ancient Immortals, there was an existence known as the ‘sun god’. His power attribute might be similar to this. However, when he thought about it carefully, there were still differences.

Although the golden light was full of Majesty, it was not as warm as the sun. On the contrary, he was a little cold and unkind.

Most importantly, Lu Qing felt a sense of disgust toward this power.

Thinking back carefully, the nature of this golden light seemed to be more similar to the divine fire he had encountered in the reflection of the White sword immortal’s immortal Palace.

So, Yingying was a God?

The state of Qin had already been eroded so badly by the power of the Shen clan?

The so-called great Qin imperial cult was the power revealed by the Shen clan, the spokesperson of the cultivation world?

The bi ‘an celestial race’s invasion methods seemed to be much more advanced than the demons!

The sinister Devils were bloodthirsty and brutal species. After they invaded human society, they were very troublesome and often caused great destruction. However, it was also because of this that humans were very disgusted and vigilant of them. Once they appeared, they would try their best to find a way to solve it, extinguishing it in its budding stage.

However, the God race’s methods were too brilliant. They had used religious methods to secretly brainwash and transform.

A lot of information left behind from the immemorial age had already been turned into a myth. Modern cultivators were wary of demons because they were dangerous. However, they were wary of the Celestials. It had been a long time since they had been harmed by the Celestials, so they had gradually forgotten about it.

So much so that the Protoss had already taken control of a country through such a method!

This was a little scary.

Lu Qing was thinking about these things, but the pursuers behind him were also very fast.

The cult Master of the great Qin State cult, Huo Xian, was attacking!

Lu Qing could sense that this fellow’s abilities were only at the materialization realm. If his true body was here, he would naturally be able to kill it easily.

However, it was a pity that Lu Qing had only sent a consciousness form this time. He had too little means of retaliating. It would be a little difficult to get rid of this fellow.

Most importantly, Huo Xian could pose a direct threat to his higher consciousness form.

From time to time, he could shoot out a Golden Ray.

The power of this ray was not strong. If an ordinary Dharma adept or even a stronger nascent soul cultivator were here, they wouldn’t have much of a problem even if they were hit by the Golden beam.

However, Lu Qing’s consciousness form was a different matter.

Ever since he had recovered more than 100 years ago, Lu Qing had never let his consciousness form be attacked directly. He didn’t know what would happen if his higher consciousness was hurt.

However, Lu qingluan could feel a huge threat.

This kind of threat made him not dare to take the risk at all.

If he was touched, his unprotected higher consciousness form would be severely injured. This kind of injury could even be fatal to him.

There was no need for that.

If he was killed here in his higher consciousness form, it would be too much of a loss.

After some consideration, Lu Qing no longer had any intention of staying there and taking risks. He immediately activated his teleportation ability and returned to Yuyan mountain.

……

On Yuyan mountain, Lu Qing’s physical body suddenly opened his eyes.

“God King law, God King lang wo, this is going to be troublesome.”

Although he had heard very little information, there was always such a keyword.

Lu Qing more or less had some information regarding the ancient era. Naturally, he also understood the concept of ‘godly monarch’.

Godly monarch. This title was no longer revealed in the present day. However, if it was in ancient times, it would be a terrifying title.

Those who had invaded the cultivation world were only the demons from the abyss. Of course, the boundless divine realm was included as well.

And these people who called themselves gods had a very strict and rigid concept of class.

In reality, the chaos abyss didn’t have such a concept of hierarchy. To the demons of the chaos abyss, the high-level demons ‘rule over the low-level demons was completely based on their overwhelming power and the rule of fear.

However, the divine realm was completely different. There was only one way for the Protoss to improve their strength-to improve their order level under their strict order. This could be accomplished through the various tasks assigned under the Protoss system, or it could be improved through their performance in the war. Only by raising their order level could they increase their strength.

In other words, the abyssal demons had strength before their levels. Their hierarchy was based on the strong and the weak. They had no order to speak of, and their rule was purely based on blood, violence, and terror. Their numbers were huge, and their individual combat ability was very strong. Demons of the same level were often stronger than human cultivators and Celestials of the same level.

On the other hand, the God race first had levels, and then they obtained the corresponding level of power. Although they might be weaker than demons in individual combat, they were at least on par with human cultivators. Furthermore, there weren’t many Celestials. However, their performance in the war was very strong. They were orderly, coordinated well, and disciplined. They had a great advantage when they formed an Army to fight. The most important point was that the morale of the Protoss could truly be maintained at an eternal high state.

According to the information left behind from ancient times, although the sinister Devils were powerful individually, once they formed an Army, the Army of sinister Devils would be the easiest to defeat. As long as the leader of the sinister Devils was killed or heavily injured, the remaining sinister Devils would immediately flee like a pile of loose sand. Moreover, there was no cooperation between sinister Devils. Ordinary human cultivators might not be able to defeat them one on one, but when they formed an Army and dealt with them with formations, they could accomplish the magnificent feat of fighting against many with a few.

But the Protoss Army was completely different. If there was a need, they would fight to the last man and would not be defeated no matter what. Even if they had completely lost their organization and the high-level Protoss generals were killed, the remaining Protoss would always be able to reorganize on their own and continue to complete the mission until they were completely killed. In addition, they had many joint attack techniques, and they could even sacrifice themselves without hesitation. This was something that demons couldn’t compare to.

It was obvious that in a state of war, the latter type of enemy would be more terrifying and more difficult to deal with.

However, it was still fortunate that the number of God Warriors was much smaller than that of the evil demons. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the humans to expel the God race during the war in ancient times.

Speaking of the ‘Godking’ level, those who could have this title were as powerful as the dongxu stage human cultivators.

Of course, this was only a general idea. In fact, there were hundreds of levels among the Protoss. Apart from the different levels, their functions were also different, and the aspects they were good at were different.

From the information Lu Qing had heard earlier, this person called ‘Lu’ was a combat Godking.

As the name suggested, this was the title of a God King who specialized in combat among the God race. His combat ability was the strongest among the God kings. In the ancient times, this was an existence that could only be dealt with by top-class experts at the peak of the dongxu stage.

Of course, Lu Qing did not know that this was a combat Godking. However, just the term ‘Godking’ was enough to make him very concerned.

According to what was said, it was a Divine King who was about to use the body of Qin Shang to descend into the cultivation world. That would be a huge problem!

Lu Qing was confident that he could deal with cultivators at the divine sea realm, but what about those at the dongxu realm?
