Chapter 720: Blood Sacrifice of the Heavenly Emperor's Army, Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang
Chapter 720: Blood Sacrifice of the Heavenly Emperor’s Army, Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang
"I can understand the Host Star Tribulation being a bit sinister, after all, it was born from the resentment and sin of the Primordial Dragon. But these three rings are just too much. They’re clearly targeting me, right?"
"I’ve heard of parents being unreasonable, but I’ve never heard of parents targeting their own children."
Huangfu Xing felt that Qin Muye was absolutely targeting him. After all, these three rings were named Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang. Initially, they seemed ordinary, but if the Heavenly Emperor were to die, they could rise to power, and in more extreme cases, directly assassinate the Heavenly Emperor. Using the Heavenly Emperor’s blood to consecrate the divine weapons, they could immediately ascend to a higher level.
While Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang could indeed serve as vanguards for a king, the risks were significant. Wouldn’t it be better to choose something like Wenqu or Wubi for support? Yet, these three were chosen.
Moreover, these three divine weapons naturally chose those who could rebel. They couldn’t really choose loyalists, could they? If they did, it would surely be a loyalist who was actually a great villain.
"It’s indeed quite targeted, but who asked you to guess the perfunctory thoughts behind my Qiangan Sword and Kundi Sword? So, I had to take it seriously."
"But don’t worry, if you really get killed by the masters of Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang, it can only be said that your skills are not up to par."
"Under what circumstances do you think these three divine weapons will appear?"
Qin Muye countered, explaining that if it were a time of peace, these three specifically designed for rebellion would lack the necessary support and would only be third-rate. They could only truly come into play during chaotic times or the end of a dynasty. By then, the problems would be deeply rooted, and the appearance of these three divine weapons would merely add fuel to the fire.
"Tsk, that’s really scary," Huangfu Xing said, pursing his lips.
"It gets even scarier. Once the divine weapons are fully completed, I will add matching cultivation techniques to them," Qin Muye said leisurely.
Previously, in the Shining Universe, he had obtained the Mythical Level treasure of the Supreme True Man, the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Scroll, which, like his Fate Tablet, was a template treasure. After he transformed it into a special Abyss Layer, it became a part of him, allowing Qin Muye to bestow a unique cultivation technique to the divine weapons.
"I guess when these three divine weapons assassinate the emperor, not only will the weapons evolve, but the techniques will also evolve, right?" Huangfu Xing sarcastically remarked. These three divine weapons were definitely specialized in attacking the emperor. Unless the emperor held the Qiangan Sword, but even then, if the emperor had the Qiangan Sword, he would be a great ruler and wouldn’t let things get to the point where these three weapons could rise to power. So, it was a paradox.
"You guessed right, but there’s no reward for it. Want to give it a try? You have resurrection magic, so it’s not a big deal if you die," Qin Muye placed the three rings on the table, his tone tinged with mockery.
"Seriously, do you think the current situation of the Great Qi Dynasty is a time of peace or the end of a dynasty?" Huangfu Xing suddenly asked.
"End of a dynasty?" Qin Muye was taken aback.
"So, Dad, how about we do it together? We can directly sacrifice the current Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, ensuring these three divine weapons can instantly rise to power. Then, after these three things supercharge, you can send the Black Hand to quell the rebellion. What do you think?" Huangfu Xing thought that since Qin Muye didn’t mind causing trouble, he didn’t mind either.
If they really followed Huangfu Xing’s suggestion, Qin Muye just needed to release these three divine weapons, and within ten days, there would definitely be three insurgent armies rising up. After all, the Great Qi Dynasty was currently plagued by natural disasters and man-made calamities. If not for the spirits and monsters helping with disaster relief, the situation would have already collapsed.
Qin Muye could only awkwardly laugh: "Ah, that’s a bit inappropriate."
These three divine weapons were not suitable for release now. The Host Star Tribulation at most could harm the weapon’s master, but if Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang appeared, the result would be nothing short of chaos.
"Let’s keep them here for now. We can release them once the Great Qi Dynasty is restored," Qin Muye didn’t want to create unnecessary trouble for himself. He wasn’t stupid; just because he made them didn’t mean he had to release them. They were just stabilizers, with no mandatory requirements. He had thrown out the Host Star Tribulation before because it was entertaining to watch.
But releasing Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang would not only be unentertaining, but it would also make him the entertainment.
"Tsk, Dad, you’re a coward," Huangfu Xing said, his tone inviting a beating.
"After this is over, I’ll directly perform a blood sacrifice with these three divine weapons and throw them out. Then, you’ll be waiting for the insurgent armies to attack the Imperial Capital." Qin Muye also felt that Huangfu Xing needed a good beating and a lesson.
Huangfu Xing: "..."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xing felt that he had been too hasty. Given Qin Muye’s situation, it wasn’t out of the question that he might actually perform a blood sacrifice with the divine weapons, especially since he wouldn’t die.
If that happened, these three divine weapons might skyrocket to a level comparable to the Qiantian Sword. After all, a blood sacrifice to a wise ruler and a blood sacrifice to a tyrant would have different effects.
Although Qin Muye had always been inactive on the dragon throne, everything the spirits and monsters did was attributed to him, so he couldn’t be classified as a tyrant or a cruel ruler.
Therefore, the first generation of weapon masters truly had the potential to use these divine weapons to attack the Imperial Capital.
"Cough, I was wrong." Huangfu Xing immediately conceded; he didn’t want to be attacked at his doorstep. He still wanted to be the Emperor of Qianwu and didn’t want to go into exile.
"Ha, I thought you’d shout ‘traitors of Han cannot coexist with loyalists, and the imperial cause cannot be compromised.’" Qin Muye expected Huangfu Xing to concede, as no one would willingly create such a big trouble for themselves.
Since Huangfu Xing had conceded, Qin Muye didn’t pursue the matter further and casually put away the three divine weapons.
It wasn’t the right time to release them. If it hadn’t been for the natural disasters and man-made calamities caused by Qin Muye’s battle with Snake Father, there would have been no issue. After all, things were stable at that time. But now, with the disasters and the unrest among the people, it was the perfect time for trouble to arise.
Moreover, his mission wasn’t complete, so he couldn’t act rashly.
Out of the 108 divine weapons, most were already nearly finished. Apart from the three rebellion-related weapons, which he kept, the rest had already been released.
Qin Muye had only been truly focused on the Qiantian Sword; otherwise, the process wouldn’t have been so swift.
"Why would I shout that? This isn’t Han." Huangfu Xing grumbled, pointing out that this was the Great Qi Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty, so such a statement wouldn’t make sense.
"But what are you planning to do after finishing the divine weapons? Help me dig a subspace?" Huangfu Xing asked.
"Subspace? We need to be mindful of the setting; it’s called a Grotto-Heaven. We’re in a world similar to martial arts and fantasy, so it can’t be called a subspace. That would be too out of place." Qin Muye corrected Huangfu Xing with great seriousness.
"Ah, right, right, right. If you say Grotto-Heaven, then it’s Grotto-Heaven." Huangfu Xing was speechless. Why not call it a ruin?
Fortunately, he didn’t say it out loud; otherwise, Qin Muye might have added "secret realm" after "ruin" to maintain the fantasy setting.
"After finishing, I’ll definitely set up a Grotto-Heaven. After all, the divine weapons are just a part of it, and Ji Shan can’t handle everything."
"This technology originally belongs to the Shining Universe and doesn’t fit Ji Shan’s setting. He knows a bit about it and has adapted it into a talent, but it’s definitely not as effective as the complete version."
Qin Muye had to take care of this; Ji Shan wasn’t up to the task, given the massive scale of the project.
While the internal work could be delegated to the spirits and monsters, only Qin Muye could handle the core aspects.
Ji Shan had a lot to learn. Unlike Qin Muye, who learned quickly, Ji Shan had only dabbled in the three major force fields and hadn’t delved into them deeply enough to lead the project.
"However, I need to dig the basic framework of the Grotto-Heaven first, otherwise, it won’t be possible to make any modifications."
"Don’t worry, I’ll pick a good one for the Qiantian Sword to bind to."
Qin Muye assured him that they were all in this together, and he wouldn’t let him down.
Grotto-Heavens are dug, not naturally formed, so they could decide what they wanted to dig.
"If you leave, will the spirits and monsters follow and withdraw?" Huangfu Xing asked a crucial question. This mattered to whether he could continue his easy life or face the risk of overworking himself to death and triggering his resurrection magic.
Qin Muye: "..."
