Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Jiang Dali racked a brain that was comparable to a Divine Weapon and still couldn’t figure out why Qin Shi Huang wanted him to join in on slaying the dragon.

After all, from the images transmitted via the other party’s Spiritual Sensing, even that Jin person he’d received through the other party’s transmitting couldn’t display power sufficient to slay a dragon.

It could only be said to pose some threat to the Azure Dragon, but it was still far from being able to actually take down that Azure Dragon whose combat strength was definitely at the Breaking Realm stage.

Even Qin Shi Huang, this Eternal Emperor who could arm-wrestle a Holy Emperor, couldn’t pull it off; he hadn’t even broken through to Breakthrough Realm yet, so what method did he have to slay a dragon?

Unless the other party was pinning his hopes on helping him break through to Breakthrough Realm, and then using his hand to slay the dragon—that would be the most reasonable explanation.

"My strength is improving too fast, and the annoying part is that my wisdom seems to be falling behind my strength. Aside from this one relatively reasonable line of deduction, I honestly can’t come up with any other explanation.

But... unless I get completely stuck at the Returning to Truth Realm bottleneck and can’t break through to Breaking Realm, there’s no need to deliberately manufacture such a huge threat either."

In terms of ambition, it wasn’t that Jiang Dali had none.

It’s just that his greatest ambition was actually not to conquer this world.

At the end of the day, the path of conquest was only one of the means he used to investigate the mystery of his return and rebirth. In essence, it didn’t really conflict with Qin Shi Huang’s lifelong goal.

But this Eternal Emperor’s hyper-aggressive nature and ambition would make anyone feel threatened, which would inevitably draw resistance.

And just because he, Jiang Dali, didn’t pursue it, didn’t mean he was willing to meekly hand everything over just because the other party was overbearing. The word "yield" simply did not exist in his personality, even when facing the Eternal Emperor.

Aside from that, the sudden emergence of Han Country’s Li Guang’s Bow also surprised him greatly.

He’d only just found out that the Great Han Kingdom, which had been lying dormant just like the Qin State, was also anything but simple. It actually had powerhouses from over a thousand years ago who had survived by some unknown method. Naturally, this made Qin Shi Huang’s dragon-slaying endeavor even more complex and difficult, since the Azure Dragon’s lair was within Han Country’s borders.

"Basically, it doesn’t have much to do with me either. In the next few days, once I’ve accumulated enough, I can basically confirm whether I can break through to Breakthrough Realm... If I can’t make the breakthrough smoothly, I’ll make other preparations...

Also, although I won’t participate directly in the dragon-slaying, I can generate hype and involve the Players, see if I can use a bunch of Players to probe the depths of the Qin Han two countries..."

Thinking of this, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Jiang Dali’s mouth. He looked at the "Restore the Great Qin" quest that Qin Shi Huang had posted to him on the panel and decided to outsource this quest of Qin Shi Huang’s in another form, publishing it to the masses of Players.

Especially the Four Great Families—no doubt the Four Great Families, including the Supreme Alliance, would be very interested in getting in touch with Qin Shi Huang, this Eternal Emperor.

He rose abruptly, grabbed He’s Jade Disc, and once again tucked it into the pouch at his waist.

Although this He’s Jade Disc was linked to the Qin State’s Qi Fortune, allowing Qin Shi Huang to transmit Spiritual Power through it at any time and even launch attacks using it as a Medium,

as long as he didn’t actively trigger it or passively accept the fluctuations transmitted from within the He’s Jade Disc, it would be hard for him to be affected or ambushed by it. So he didn’t need to be overly cautious.

He cast one last glance at the Demon Dragon that was still gnawing on Orochi’s body, emitting creepy sounds of flesh being torn and bones being crushed, then looked to a corner at the side where Dongfang Bubai’s face was bathed in a faint glow, making her look bewitchingly seductive.

Jiang Dali didn’t disturb the one person and one dragon. He turned and walked out of this Tomb that belonged solely to Orochi, and pressed the mechanism.

With a booming rumble, the Tomb gate shut, and he headed toward the densely packed hordes of Puppet mechanism beasts outside.

With his current eyes, this Holy Tomb that Shakyamuni had tinkered together back then clearly had a bit of a "copy Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Terracotta Army" flavor.

Still, that was fine—those who came before plant the tree, those who come after enjoy the shade.

Just the Puppet mechanism beasts in this one Holy Tomb alone would probably be enough for him to grind the proficiency of several Returning to Truth Realm Martial Arts up by a minor Realm.

For the next stretch of time, he would remain in this Holy Tomb to digest this haul of spoils.

At the same time, he would also be waiting for the people from the Four Great Families he’d contacted in advance to deliver the ancient records related to Xiao Sanxiao and the Xuanhua Ship Master.

During this period, he would also quietly arrange some forces to guide the Players toward the Azure Dragon’s location, to further probe the Azure Dragon and the Qin Han two countries.

Right now, although many Players in the Mixed Martial Arts World had been drawn away by the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament he was hosting, there were still plenty of Players who hadn’t entered this grand event. He wasn’t worried about not having enough "leeks" responding to such a quest.

...

Time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, four days had gone by.

In these four days, the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament proceeded in full swing. Almost all regions had finished their open qualifiers and prelims and officially entered the semifinals stage.

Out of the massive number of Players who initially signed up for the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament, only one hundred thousand ultimately managed to squeeze into the semifinals.

These people were scattered across the hundreds of Black Wind Village sub branches, with each sub branch averaging only a few hundred remaining contestants. Each and every one of them could be called an elite among the sixty to seventy million Players.

Many of the Players who’d been eliminated were still staying at the various Black Wind Village sub branches to watch the subsequent semifinals.

Quite a few others left in dejection, continuing to roam the Martial World, taking part in various Martial World incidents and sect quests.

Among them, some "lucky Players" happened to run into the currently very hot "aid Qin Shi Huang" quest and rode the wave of fortune, charging straight toward Han Country together with over a million other Players who had also taken the quest.

For a time, the hottest topic on the Jianghu Forum was no longer the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament.

There was even more discussion about Qin Shi Huang and Han Country’s Azure Dragon. Players let their imaginations run wild, and around this special "aid Qin Shi Huang" quest, they spun out all sorts of different versions and guesses that were clamoring across the forum.

The joke posts originally made by some Players who specialized in scams had actually come true, leaving people torn between laughter and tears, and the forum became filled with nothing but absurd spoof posts mixed in.

"Greetings, everyone! I, the lonely one, am Qin Shi Huang! Cut the crap! Send money first!"

"I, the lonely one, Qin Shi Huang, am not dead yet and can still be saved. I urgently need a dragon right now to salvage the Qin State’s national fortune. As long as you can become my Dragon Slayer Warrior, once I, the lonely one, re-conquer the world, I will surely promote you and grant you titles!"

"Han Country Dragon Cave Exploration! Gang Qi Realm Eight Desolate Disciples looking for a big tour group!"

While Jiang Dali secretly remote-controlled the Mountain Village’s Dark Piles spread across the land to quietly disguise themselves as Qin people and issue quests, he was also constantly monitoring the forum’s activity.

Now that the quest had only been posted for two days, nearly a million Players from various vassal states had already been drawn and gathered to take the "aid Qin Shi Huang" quest. The Players’ enthusiasm in responding was beyond even his expectations.

However, no matter how many, even a million Players, when faced with the Azure Dragon whose combat strength was close to Breaking Realm, were like a swarm of ants trying to provoke an elephant—not even enough to get stuck between its teeth.

This mass movement of Abnormal People heading to Han Country to probe the Azure Dragon was mainly to scout out more intel for him first.

Meanwhile, in this short four days, not only had he accumulated enough Cultivation Points through the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament to keep breaking through Realms, he had also received the Exchange Envoy from the Four Great Families who was responsible for handing over the ancient texts related to Xiao Sanxiao and the Xuanhua Ship Master...
