Chapter 58: The Five Great Empires Tremble! A Frenzied Summoning of Warriors!
“What did you say?”
Zhao Kuangyin abruptly rose from his dragon throne, his expression tinged with astonishment.
Moments ago, he had been in the midst of deliberations with his civil and military officials over matters concerning the Song Empire.
However, the head of the Imperial Guard Bureau had suddenly entered with urgent news—an immortal inheritance had emerged within the Song Empire’s borders.
“Your Majesty!”
“A legacy of the Immortal Dao has appeared outside Lin’an City!”
“And unlike the ones discovered in the other empires, this immortal inheritance is an entire sect from the ancient era!”
“This sect is known as the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, once a hegemonic force in the Western Continent!”
“At its peak, the sect had no fewer than four great cultivators at the Realm of Spiritual Integration!”
Zhao Hun stood at the centre of the grand hall, his tone respectful yet urgent. As the leader of the Imperial Guard Bureau, he was responsible for gathering intelligence across the Song Empire and handling covert affairs. Thus, he had swiftly obtained news of the developments outside Lin’an. Upon learning of this revelation, he had not hesitated in the slightest before making his way to the Grand Celebration Hall. Ordinarily, as the head of the Imperial Guard Bureau, he rarely appeared before the court’s officials. But this matter was simply too momentous. Moreover, with the information spreading rapidly through the martial world, it would not be long before the other four empires learned of it as well.
He had to inform Emperor Zhao Kuangyin at once.
.............................................................................................
“Haha...”
Upon Zhao Hun’s confirmation, Zhao Kuangyin’s face lit up with joy.
“Excellent!”
“The Song Empire has obtained an immortal inheritance at last!”
“And not just any inheritance—it is that of a hegemonic immortal sect!”
“Now, let us see who dares to mock the Song Empire for lacking cultivators in the ancient era!”
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
In truth, Huang Shang’s greatest wish was to prevent martial experts from rival empires from setting foot in Song territory. But he knew such an idea was impractical. After all, of the Five Great Empires, the Song Empire was the weakest. If they dared to obstruct others, the armies of the four rival empires would surely descend upon them in retaliation. Thus, rather than barring entry, it was better to strengthen their own forces—maximising their chances of securing the inheritance!
.............................................................................................
“Indeed!”
“Lord Huang speaks wisely!”
“Your Majesty, we urge you to issue the decree at once!”
The surrounding officials voiced their agreement one after another.
An immortal inheritance was at stake—caution was imperative.
“Very well.”
Zhao Kuangyin slowly settled back onto his throne, his gaze sweeping across the court.
“Draft the imperial edict!”

Inside the Xianyang Palace
“Zhao Gao!”
“I give you three days!”
“Summon every Grandmaster of Finger Profundity below the age of thirty across the Qin Empire—the more, the better! The stronger, the better!”
“Furthermore, if any remnants of the Six Warring States possess such qualifications...”
“Execute them on sight!”
Seated upon the dragon throne, Emperor Ying Zheng issued his commands with unquestionable authority.
Upon learning of the developments in the Song Empire, he had immediately convened his court.
There was no doubt about it— The immortal inheritance of the Song Empire was something he coveted. With over ten days remaining until the full moon, he had ample time to gather his warriors. If he could complete the recruitment within three days, he would have more than enough time to send his forces to Lin’an.
