Chapter 194 Ten Imperial Cauldrons, Great Qin’s Crisis (2)
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had reached the peak of his cultivation techniques.
Although there was no problem with his mastery of the cultivation techniques, he didn’t have much battle experience after all.
This time, he had fought against demonic beasts almost every day. His battle experience had skyrocketed.
Conversely, his combat experience gave him a deeper understanding of the Martial Dao.!!
This kind of epiphany-like experience resulted in his successive breakthroughs after waking up from his dream.
At the end of the day, be it the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique or the Golden Bell Shield Technique, they had just both been a step short of reaching perfection. After an epiphany, breaking through was a matter of course.
Wang Xin was the complete opposite of Shi Songtao. Shi Songtao was diligent and hardworking, but he also enjoyed spending a lot of time with women.
But Wang Xin was a martial arts fanatic. This year, other than cultivating to slay demonic beasts, he led troops to slay demonic beasts. He didn’t get close to women at all. He was even more of a monk than a monk!
In short, he was either fighting or on the way to battle.
There was a reason why Great Qin was so formidable. In Wang Xin’s dream, many of the soldiers that Zhou Shu had seen were like Wang Xin.
A breakthrough in cultivation is just a pleasant surprise. Wang Xin’s greatest value is not his battle experience but the information he has!
Increasing his strength was naturally something worth being happy about, but what made Zhou Shu even happier was that when he became Wang Xin in his dream, he had finally come into contact with some secrets of this world!
In Great Xia, although Zhou Shu was already a marquis, his foundation was still too shallow. Furthermore, he had only been a marquis for a short period of time. There were many things that he had yet to come into contact with. Even Meng Bai was secretive about the matters of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament and had never told him too much.
Wang Xin was different. He was the grandson of Great Qin’s General Wang Mu, and he was nurtured as an heir.
He was naturally qualified to come into contact with these secrets.
In the year that he became Wang Xin, Zhou Shu had personally attended a few high-level court meetings in Great Qin.
It was also from this that he was able to see the truth of this world!
No wonder the ten nations are competing for the right to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Zhou Shu thought.
Besides other reasons, in the next ten years, the vital qi of heaven and earth of the place where the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament is hosted will be several times richer than elsewhere.
The cultivation of martial artists was to absorb vital qi of heaven and earth into the body.
In places with rich vital qi of heaven and earth, a martial artist’s cultivation speed would definitely be faster.
Whichever nation held the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, the vital qi of heaven and earth there would be richer than the other nine countries.
This meant that the nation would be more suitable for cultivation. Martial artists would be stronger, and the country would also become stronger.
If not for the fact that a nation wasn’t allowed to continuously become the venue for the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Great Qin would probably continue to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. That way, it would become stronger and stronger.
The reason why Great Qin is unable to take over all the other nations is because all the ten nations must participate in the martial arts tournament. No country would dare to break the rules on the surface.
The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament can only be held with the Ten Imperial Cauldrons. And these Ten Imperial Cauldrons can only be used by the ten nations’ imperial families. Even if other countries want to seize them, they can’t.
In the year that he had transformed into Wang Xin, Zhou Shu had also learned about this information that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to know.
The information he heard previously was completely different from the truth.
Wang Xin doesn’t have the right to know what exactly is going on with the Ten Imperial Cauldrons. He can only deduce that each of the ten nations has one of the ten cauldrons. Furthermore, only the imperial families of the various nations can activate them. It’s useless even if someone obtains the ten cauldrons by destroying other nations. In just one year, the things that Wang Xin could experience were naturally limited. A lot of information had to be inferred by Zhou Shu himself.
Before coming to Hangu Pass, Wang Xin and his grandfather, Wang Mu, had an exchange. Great Qin deliberately designed the nine checkpoints this time. There is indeed a huge problem. Zhou Shu’s eyes flickered.
He sat on the couch without saying a word. Lu Wenshuang stared at his face for a while and felt a little bored, so she started cultivating again.
Great Qin isn’t trying to make things difficult for the nine nations with this trial, but rather, something has happened to Great Qin! Zhou Shu recalled Wang Mu’s and Wang Xin’s words. He already knew what would happen during the trial.
The reason Great Qin had set up nine checkpoints was that,
Something went wrong with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron!
Wang Mu didn’t mention the exact problem.
But he had told Wang Xin that the nine checkpoints set up by Great Qin were related to the restoration of the imperial cauldron.
There was a problem with the imperial cauldron, and it was a matter of great importance. Great Qin naturally couldn’t allow outsiders to know about it.
And with the power of Great Qin, they were unable to directly repair the imperial cauldron, so they set up nine checkpoints to test the Forging Masters of the other nine nations. Their goal was to find a way to repair their imperial cauldron.
The settings of these nine checkpoints were related to the repair of the imperial cauldron.
If the Forging Masters of the nine nations could resolve some of the problems during the process of challenging the trial, they would be able to give Great Qin’s forgers a revelation and give them a chance to repair the imperial cauldron.
To put it bluntly, they had set up nine checkpoints to test the Forging Masters of the other nine nations after identifying the problems they couldn’t solve.
Great Qin has a good idea. They got the nine countries’ Forging Masters to help them solve the problem for free and also solved the problem of the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. It’s killing two birds with one stone.
But even Great Qin’s Grand Craftsmen are unable to repair their imperial cauldron. How effective can a group of Forging Masters be?
Zhou Shu couldn’t help complaining inwardly.
There might be other problems, but Wang Xin hadn’t experienced it, so Zhou Shu didn’t know.
Something actually went wrong with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron, Zhou Shu thought.
The Ten Imperial Cauldrons were related to whether or not the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament could be held normally. If something went wrong with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron, then the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament would be ruined.
This was definitely an earth-shattering matter.
If the other nine countries found out, they would probably attack Great Qin.
Should I tell Meng Bai?
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, but in his heart, he rejected this idea.
If this matter was really leaked out, it might be a world war.
The Ten Imperial Cauldrons are also weapons, Zhou Shu thought. What grade of weapons are they? Is it also because of them that the vital qi of heaven and earth in the hosting nation is so rich?
Zhou Shu didn’t care much about the political situation of the nations. His interest was in weapons.
The Ten Imperial Cauldrons sounded very interesting
It was unknown what grade of weapon they were.
Zhou Shu had the urge to take them and study them.
He thought back to when he was in You Prefecture and the strange mirror that had once made a short appearance in the Legendary Armament Canon.
Divine artifact…
Could the Ten Imperial Cauldrons also be divine artifacts above heaven grade?
Apart from the time in You Prefecture, Zhou Shu had never heard of the existence of divine artifacts from anyone else.
Not to mention divine artifacts, even heaven-grade weapons were extremely rare in the ten nations.
What Zhou Shu could see was that only some first-rank experts had heaven-grade weapons.
Most second and third-rank martial artists only used earth-grade weapons. Divine artifacts seemed to be a little far from the martial artists of the ten nations.
The Ten Imperial Cauldrons are kept a secret within the imperial families of the ten nations. If not for the problem with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron, Wang Xin might not even know of their existence.
Under normal circumstances, wanting to study them is impossible. No matter how good Emperor Yuan Feng is, he won’t give me this chance.
But now is a good opportunity. If I’m able to prove myself in the trial, then Great Qin might ask me to help repair their imperial cauldron. Isn’t this an opportunity to come into contact with an imperial cauldron?
Even so, we still have to be on guard against Great Qin killing us to silence us. It’s quite troublesome.
But it’s not impossible. If I have the chance to come into contact with a divine artifact, even if I have to take some risks, it’s worth it.
Zhou Shu made up his mind. His eyes flashed with determination.
In that case, let’s have some fun! Let Great Qin experience a miracle!
