Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 157 Adding fuel to the flames
Come back to life!
The most painful thing in the world is life and death.

When a person with the ability to bring the dead back to life appears, the shock caused is definitely more terrifying than the elixir of life, especially when the power of almost unconditional resurrection has been proven countless times.

It can even completely detonate the entire world.

Zhu Jinzhen and Changsun Wangqing watched the spies scattering side by side.

"Once the Heavenly Sword is born and its possibility of immortality is confirmed, no one, including kings, princes, generals, celestial beings, and immortals, can stand by and watch this surprise unfold."

"I just don't know how many hidden monsters will be revealed this time."

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

"Your Highness, the next plan is to seize the Heshi Bi, right?" Changsun Wangqing asked.

"Ok!"

Zhu Jinzhen smiled and nodded. The 'light gate' he opened for Zhao Min was a door that directly opened the door to the Jingnian Zen Temple of the Great Sui Dynasty by hiding the exterior of the Anywhere Gate with divine means.

In order to verify the authenticity of the Heavenly Sword, we need to check whether this Heavenly Sword existed in history.

The secrets of the Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum and the legend of Qin Shi Huang's conquest of the sky all require careful investigation and evidence collection.

But in a blink of an eye, they crossed thousands of miles, passed through several countries from the Ming Dynasty and directly set foot on the land of the Sui Dynasty, and launched a killing spree that shocked the world and destroyed a Buddhist holy place that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

It is enough to provide other investigators with "ironclad evidence" that no one can ignore.

This proves the authenticity of the "Heavenly Sword" from another perspective.

When more "facts" and history are revealed, when myths and legends shine into reality, when the "miracle" of the combined power of Tianjian and Heshi Bi appears before people again, and this power falls into the hands of the Mongols.

That’s the most exciting beginning.

……

With Zhu Jinzhen's help, the news quickly spread throughout Jiayuguan, and many "gossips" spread like wildfire, reaching the ears of many interested people with incredible accuracy.

On this day, Jiayuguan was in an uproar.

All the common people, merchants, and martial artists were talking about it, and their discussions all revolved around one thing.

Zhao Min, Heavenly Sword, back to life.

"Oh, you heard about it?"

"Someone broke through the barrier and escaped. How could we not have heard of such a big thing?"

"You might not know this, but Princess Shao Min from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, while under siege by the Tiance soldiers, actually relied on her 'Heavenly Sword' to display extraordinary strength. In the end, even Commander Yan himself was unable to escape."

"What? How is that possible?"

"It's true. It's said that the 'Heavenly Sword' is a secret treasure of His Highness Prince Su, and it contains the power to bring the dead back to life. Zhao Min relied on the 'Heavenly Sword' to perform an extremely extraordinary feat outside Jiayu Pass."

"Not only that, I heard that the Heavenly Sword is also related to the secrets of the First Emperor Ying Zheng's Mausoleum. Princess Shao Min was previously only a person who hadn't even reached the Profound Finger Realm, but after just a few days, she has already entered the realm of land immortals."

"Impossible! How can martial arts be mastered overnight? You haven't even reached the Zhixuan level yet, yet you've become a terrestrial immortal in just a few days. Do you think you were helped by an immortal or taken some magical elixir?"

"Humph, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's a terrestrial immortal? The most powerful thing about the Heavenly Sword is that it can bring the dead back to life. Do you understand?"

Someone lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious as he revealed what Zhao Min had done outside the pass.

Upon hearing that even a person with no complete body and broken into pieces could be brought back to life in an instant, countless people, merchants and interested people could not help but exclaim that it was impossible.

However, the facts are the facts, whether they believe it or not.

More news flowed into the public and spread out.

In addition, what happened outside Jiayuguan was witnessed by many people, and more evidence was confirmed.

Everyone was completely unable to sit still.

The common people are worried that the Heavenly Sword was stolen by Zhao Min, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty. If it is used on the battlefield in the future, facing the immortal enemy, how will Tian Ce, Cang Yun, and even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty respond?
Merchants and people from various forces rushed to report the situation.

They all had a premonition that this incident would be a disaster, absolutely massive beyond their imagination. ...

Secret guard station.

Many secret guards swarmed in.

"You heard the news too?"

"The same to you?"

A group of secret guards, talking in a flurry, found the secret guard mission officer who issued the mission, wanting to inquire whether the secret guards should be dispatched, as well as about the level assessment of the mission, etc.

But, there was only one response.

"Regarding the 'Loss of the Heavenly Sword,' the Secret Guards have not received any mission from Your Highness."

"Instead, it was directly intervened by Tiance and Cangyun Army."

"However, if you would like to know more about the details, the Merit Hall does have some information to offer. Furthermore, although His Highness hasn't issued any missions regarding the 'Loss of the Heavenly Sword,' you are not prohibited from participating on your own."

"If you can bring back the 'Heavenly Sword', you will be rewarded with 500,000 merit points and a number of other rewards."

Hearing the mission officer's words, all the secret guards were in an uproar.

Five hundred thousand merit points.

Almost all exchangeable items can be taken away from the Secret Guard's Hall of Merit.

Is that sword so valuable?

"May I ask, sir, how many merit points are needed to obtain information about the Heavenly Sword?"

"Fifty."

"Please give me one."

Someone took the lead, and even if many secret guards didn't want to get involved, they couldn't help but exchanged for a record about the "Heavenly Sword" out of curiosity. The record contained all the information that Zhu Jinzhen had ordered in advance and rushed out overtime.

"The Heavenly Sword actually belonged to the First Emperor Ying Zheng?"

"And it's one of the keys to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum? How is that possible?"

"Hiss! On the Heavenly Sword is an elixir of immortality obtained by the First Emperor in his battle against the Heavens. It grants immortality, sharing the same spring as the heavens and the earth, and living as long as the sun and the moon? It can also control life and death, bringing the dead back to life?"

"No way, the rumors about the commotion in Jiayuguan are actually true?"

"Gulu."

Someone swallowed frantically, stunned by the last line of the intelligence. Then they screamed, "Hurry up and look at the intelligence at the bottom."

At the bottom?

Those who purchased the intelligence subconsciously shifted their attention.

All that caught my eye was a single line of words.

Just one glance, and no matter their identities or backgrounds, these secret guards were all stunned.

"Gather the Heavenly Sword, the Heshi Bi, and the Tai'a Sword, and conquer the First Emperor's Mausoleum. Then you can command the twelve golden men and three hundred thousand terracotta warriors left behind by the First Emperor?"

Twelve golden men and three hundred thousand Qin warriors from the land of immortals?

Many people could not bear the shock and fainted.

Many secret guards also had their blood boiling, their faces flushed, they breathed heavily, and white smoke continued to come out.

Three hundred thousand land immortals!!

The legacy of the First Emperor!!
Plus the Heavenly Sword that controls life and death and the Elixir of Immortality.

Who wouldn’t be confused by this recipe?
While all the secret guards were immersed in endless shock and fantasy, some of the secret guards who had just spoken up to remind them at the right time also completed their respective tasks and quietly left.
