684 Lifelike Imperial Concubines (2)
After the three divine pillars spoke briefly, their Earth Immortals flew into the Dragon Python’s stomach first.
However, the others stood where they were, hesitating.
Even the headquarters of the Divine Judgment Hall had been flattened. Clearly, it was already in a precarious situation.
If the situation did not go well, the Divine Judgment Hall might collapse.
Although many of the experts present did not say it out loud, many of them already had the idea of escaping and hiding.
This was because too many people had died recently.
These Earth Immortals had been high and mighty for hundreds and thousands of years. They had yet to enjoy the good life that they still had thousands of years left.
Their cultivation path had yet to reach the peak.
If possible, who was willing to die?
Against the enemy that could threaten their lives at any moment, everyone’s thoughts became active.
As a result, even if it was the three divine pillars, it was best not to take compulsory orders now and only mobilize them in a gentler manner.
However, the effect was very limited.
At this moment, Jiang Li who was wearing a mask walked out and interrupted the awkward silence.
“Three esteemed lords, if we find an opportunity or treasure in that palace, or even the national treasure of the Immortal Dynasty, how should we distribute it?”
“Do we need to hand it over to the Divine Judgment Hall?”
Right when everyone fell silent, Jiang Li did not say anything righteous. Instead, he asked in a ‘virtuous’ manner.
Concubine Yun and the other two divine pillars were stunned, but they immediately understood Jiang Li’s meaning and spoke.
“In this Epang Palace, treasures and immortal opportunities belong to those who are fated.”
“There’s no need to hand over what anyone obtains. Even if they find the national treasure of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the three divine pillars and the Divine Judgment Hall will definitely not ask.”
“In addition, you are not allowed to fight or threaten each other. The three of us will supervise the situation.”
As soon as they said this, the Earth Immortals who originally wanted to retreat immediately revealed different expressions.
Immortal cultivators were aloof from the mortal world. Compared to saving the people and defending the world, it was obvious that things like the “national treasure or immortal opportunity” were more tempting.
Moreover, with the guarantee of the three divine pillars, there was no need to worry about threats or facing enemies who would want to seize the treasure. This eliminated many of the other people’s worries.
Previously, they had heard rumors that the Epang Palace hid the secret to breaking through the Earth Immortal realm and truly becoming an immortal.
There were also long-lived medicinal pills and artifacts everywhere.
This was really not groundless.
When the spiritual qi environment of heaven and earth had just reopened, all kinds of natural treasures and inheritances appeared endlessly.
That was an era that had just begun, but had the most resources.
Many mountain farmers encountered an opportunity like this and stepped into the cultivation world, finally achieving something great.
At that time, the cultivation dynasty ruled almost the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region. In the era where materials were most distributed, they had plundered for 3,000 years and had the advantage of first come, first served.
After only a portion of the foundation accumulated by the dynasty was divided, it formed the current Divine Judgment Hall.
However, the essence and the most precious thing was not obtained by them.
Those treasures must be hidden in the Epang Palace.
If they could obtain it, ascending to the heavens in a single step and attaining the Dao might sound too far away and not realistic enough.
However, condensing the three flowers on the top and gathering the five qi in the chest to step onto the peak of the current cultivation world should not be a problem.
Thinking of this, even if it was a tiger’s den, why not charge in?
“The three esteemed lords are magnanimous. How can I dare to let down the three of you?”
An Earth Immortal monk was the first to step forward.
The sincere and serious expression on his face made people feel that he was not there for the treasure in the palace at all. Instead, he was purely there to save the people of the world.
“This matter concerns the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region. How can I stand by and watch? Count me in!”
“Us brothers will also lend a hand!”
With someone taking the lead, others immediately followed.
To die for others, he naturally had to hesitate.
However, if it was for the sake of advancing further on the path of cultivation, then cultivators naturally had the desire to compete.
One had to know that the current system of the cultivation world was something that they had studied and figured out bit by bit.
How could such a person lack courage?
Now, there was still a chance to divide the Immortal Qin Dynasty again. They naturally had to cherish it.
Apart from a small number of Earth Immortals who had lost their path forward because their foundation was damaged in the early years,
The others all chose to explore the Epang Palace with everyone!
The Earth Immortals shrunk their bodies and turned into streaks of light that flew into the Dragon Python’s mouth.
Jiang Li was the same. It was not difficult for them to become larger or smaller.
Then, the Dragon Python rushed into the door with its slightly bulging stomach.
The golden light that enveloped the 300 miles of Epang Palace brushed past the Dragon Python’s entire body.
However, the Polar Mountain King was a true descendant of the Son of Heaven. He was one of the nine most orthodox successors.
The golden light did not stop him. With a slight fluctuation, he entered.
However, an invisible force swept down, and the Dragon Python in the sky immediately shrunk and was about to return to its human form.
The stomach of the humanoid Polar Mountain King could not accommodate so many experts.
In any case, he had already passed through the membrane of light. Hundreds of golden lights immediately flew out of his mouth.
The interior of the 300-mile-wide palace was very spacious. Everyone scattered on the passageway opposite the door and did not feel crowded.
“It’s impossible to use dragon qi to transform into a Dragon Python here. In that case, it’s very likely that the Blood King can’t use dragon qi either!”
“If that’s the case, as long as we find the Blood King, we can kill him!”
“The aura of the Blood King is ahead. Let’s chase after him!”
When they discovered that the Polar Mountain King’s dragon qi was suppressed, everyone was not shocked but delighted. If not for that troublesome dragon qi, the Blood King would not have been able to last long under the three divine pillars.
Immediately, the aura of the Divine Judgment Hall rose as they quickly rushed forward.
As expected, in this Epang Palace, there was no way to use spatial jumps or other methods. Flying was also greatly restricted.
However, although 150 kilometers was huge, to an Earth Immortal expert, even if they ran on the ground, it would not take long.
As they went deeper, the terrain ahead began to become more complicated.
One by one, the rooms revealed jewels from the cracks of the door. One could imagine what was piled up inside.
With a casual wave of their hands, they used their spiritual qi to push open a door. A strange fragrance immediately surged out.
Even though everyone present was an Earth Immortal, they were still restless when they heard this. They felt a little dazed and wished they could find someone to fall in love with on the spot.
In the room, there were not any artifacts or secret scrolls, but beautiful women with their heads lowered.
The women were dressed in luxurious palace clothes. Their faces were pale and their lips were red. If not for the fact that everyone present had excellent eyesight, they would really think that they were all alive.
“They’re so lifelike. Who can tell that these women have been dead for at least five thousand years?”
“After every Qin Emperor dies, their corpses will be secretly buried, and those concubines will be made into puppets with the most exquisite craftsmanship and sent to the Epang Palace.”
“Every generation of the Qin Emperor is like this. Every generation has no less than 3,000 concubines. The women here are only a portion of the Qin Emperor’s harem.”
Concubine Yun of the Cloud Manor spoke indifferently.
As a woman, she could not have a good impression of such rules.
As for the previous Concubine Yun, she had also become the concubine of the last Qin Emperor.
It was not just cruel.
Due to the fact that immortal cultivators were generally better-looking, many of these concubines were forcefully recruited from various wealthy families and large and small sects.
The highest lifespan of each generation’s Qin Emperor was less than 300 years. Moreover, the duration of his reign was actually not much different from ordinary mortal emperors. Generally, he would only rule for decades.
As such, not only were female cultivators who could originally live for at least a few hundred years forced to enter the palace, they could only live for decades before being buried with him.
Only a few young talents who had once loved them were left feeling regret and anger.
The seeds of hatred were planted like this. As generations of young talents became successful and sat in various positions in the dynasty, it would be strange if the dynasty could do well.
The accumulation of conflicts came from all aspects. To be honest, the destruction of the Qin Dynasty was not unjust.
