Chapter 655: The Alliance of Six Dynasties
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
Because of the strong opposition of Xun Kuang and the other two old misters, Wu Qi had no choice but to change the terms of the agreement with Hei Mo . They agreed to exchange the freedom of everyone with vast quantities of natural treasures .
Unlike the other Ghost Gods from the outer domain, Hei Mo was a strange fellow . He was particularly fond of the various rare and precious natural resources produced in Pangu World . The reason he taught King Yang Shan the Black Celestial Forbidden Curse was because the latter had once offered him a batch of extremely precious materials, which he had used to craft a Prime Weapon and killed one of his old rivals .
All the Ghost Gods from the outer domain, including Lei Meng, were only interested in the souls and flesh of the living beings on Pangu Continent . But, Hei Mo was an alien amongst them; he was on a constant lookout for vast quantities of natural treasures, so much so that he even allowed them to substitute blood sacrifices with natural treasures . At any rate, Wu Qi and the others were relieved with the new terms . It was the best solution which everyone could agree to .
But, the rate Hei Mo proposed immediately sent Wu Qi's head reeling . Since they would not offer him blood sacrifices, he had demanded an immense amount of treasures . The amount was so enormous that it nearly drove Yan Dan and all his courtiers mad when they heard it — it was almost the equivalent of twenty thousand secret vaults that Great Yan had accumulated over the past two thousand years! Hei Mo agreed to free all the people of Great Yan from the curses if they would offer him that amount of treasures .
After more than two thousand years of hard work, Great Yan had only one secret vault . And yet, the amount of treasures Hei Mo demanded was equivalent to twenty thousand of such treasure vaults! Wu Qi nearly fainted when he heard that . 'This fellow is trying to get revenge! He did it on purpose!'
As if he did not notice the bitter expressions on Wu Qi and the others' faces, Hei Mo told them the amount of various precious materials he wanted, as well as the amount of other materials they could be replaced with . After that, he took his leave happily, leaving behind only a withered baby corpse . Even as he was leaving, he reminded Wu Qi and the others that if they could find a few Innate Spirit Artifacts or similar artifacts, he could make an exception to free the emperor and ministers of Great Yan from the curses .
Upon hearing that, Wu Qi and the others got so angry that they almost coughed up blood . A few Innate Spirit Artifacts? There were very few innate artifacts left in the current world of cultivators, and Wu Qi was considered extremely lucky to be able to find the innate energy required to cultivate the Scroll of Stealing . And that was only the innate energy, not the innate artifact which had taken physical shape . Innate Spirit Artifacts were formed from innate energies and the work of the heaven and earth . They were so rare that ordinary people hadn't even heard of them . Yet, Hei Mo actually demanded a few Innate Spirit Artifacts to release them?
That was simply impossible . Even if they did find some Innate Spirit Artifacts, they would never give them to Hei Mo .
The only way now was to gather the astronomical amount of precious materials Hei Mo demanded in exchange for the freedom of Yan Dan and the others . The emperor and courtiers came together and discussed for a quarter of an hour, and after being pointed out by Wu Qi, Yan Dan made a decision of sending formal letters to the emperors of the other five dynasties, including Ying Zheng, inviting them to meet at Great Yan's palace .
The letter simply asked a question: Are you interested in the solution to the curse?
As Wu Qi and others had expected, the emperors of five dynasties, Ying Zheng, Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng, Tian Wen, and Qu Ping, as well as their courtiers arrived at Great Yan's palace as quickly as they could in just half a month . Because of the feuds among the dynasties, these emperors feared that the meeting might be a trap, so each of them brought at least a million soldiers with them . And, without exception, all the soldiers cultivated the body tempering technique of the human race, while some military officers even practiced the various mystic arts of the Oracles .
Wu Qi could not help but laugh in his heart . It seemed that the emperors of the six dynasties had sent their best men to Pangu Continent, and they had reaped a lot in just a few short years . In particular, there were several courtiers around Qu Ping whose obscure and mysterious aura let Wu Qi knew that they had received the orthodox teaching of the Directorate of Celestials, and that they had accumulated pretty decent cultivation bases .
Millions of soldiers made their camps outside Ji City, their banners fluttering fiercely along the camps and barracks that stretched hundreds of miles across the vast flatland . The soldiers and captains from different dynasties were flaunting their prowess amongst each other . Sounds of drums and horns rose high into the air while the battle cries let out by the soldiers churned the passing clouds in the sky . Every once in a while, the walls of Ji City trembled as the soldiers stamped their feet and shouted in unison . Although the walls were protected by numerous layers of energy barriers, they soon cracked from the deafening cries and ground-shaking stamps .
On Pangu Continent, even in the rich and populous Zhong Province, Wu Qi had never seen millions of soldiers, who all practiced the cultivation technique of the human race, gathered in one place! Even the main force of the punitive army led by Bo Yunting only had 100,000 soldiers!
It was only after witnessing millions of soldiers who practiced the cultivation technique of the human race gathered in one place that one could truly understand what the meaning of the torrent that could destroy everything was . Wu Qi could not imagine what a terrible monster these six armies would become when they were seasoned, and when all the soldiers had stepped into the realm of Heaven Immortals .
Furthermore, the generals who led these armies were Bai Qi, Yue Yi, Tian Dan, Xiang Yu, Li Xin, Wang Jian, and many famous generals who could make one's scalp numbed just by thinking of them . Moreover, because of Wu Qi, they were about to get rid of their last shackle!
As long as the Black Celestial Forbidden Curse was removed, the heroes of the six dynasties would not be held back by anything . . .
Standing on the wall of Great Yan's palace and overlooking the military camps that stretched hundreds of miles outside Ji City, Wu Qi took a deep breath . His entire body was tingling with excitement, his internal organs shivering, and his heart drumming . He had a feeling that what he did today would throw the entire Pangu World into a chaos!
Perhaps, when the scientists who unleashed the horrible beast of nuclear weapons on Earth had the same thoughts as Wu Qi today on seeing the first nuclear bomb exploding in the wilderness!
"Hehe, it's going to be fun!" Wu Qi muttered to himself . "It's going to be really fun!"
Loud battle cries kept coming from outside the city . Energetic and restless, the soldiers of six dynasties were drilling crazily, using the most brutal means to constantly improve their strength . The entire Ji City was shaking, and even the whole planet was vibrating from their powerful movements . Wu Qi could feel the groans of the planet coming from under his feet .
They were millions of caged monsters waiting to be released .
As Wu Qi was absorbed in his reverie, a steady footstep came to his ears . Dressed in a red robe and with a blade hanging from his waist, Ma Yi strode up the wall . He bowed to Wu Qi, and then said in a deep and powerful voice, "Duke of Tianyun, His Majesty and the other emperors are waiting for you in the great hall!"
Wu Qi smiled and patted Ma Yi on the shoulder, then whispered, "Why don't you start cultivating Lao Ai's Great Sun Technique when this matter is done?"
Ma Yi's face turned into an ugly grimace as Wu Qi burst into laughter, then took a step and teleported into the palace's great hall .
The emperors of the six dynasties sat in a row on the dais at the far end of the great hall, while the brave and brilliant courtiers of six dynasties crowded the spacious hall . Everyone was staring at Wu Qi who appeared suddenly . The air in the hall was so stagnant that it seemed to have been compressed into an iron plate, weighing heavily on everyone's mind .
