Chapter 197 The Astonishment of the Ancestors of the Great Qin
After that, Ying Tianzong led Ying Chen to the very back of the ancestral hall.
This place is riddled with formations; without a special token, you'd probably be torn to shreds the moment you entered.
There are twelve coffins here, covered with intricate array patterns, exuding a mysterious aura.
When Ying Tianzong arrived, he first bowed deeply to the coffin, then mumbled something unintelligible.
Finally, he sighed, formed a mudra with his hands, and chanted a spell.
As the hand seals between his fingers changed, the twelve coffins began to tremble slightly.
And the array patterns on it also lit up.
As time went on, the coffin began to vibrate faster and faster.
Boom~~
With a loud bang, the lids of all twelve coffins flew up.
Then twelve powerful auras emanated from it.
"What time is it now?"
"How long have I been asleep?"
As an aged voice rang out, twelve figures emerged from the coffin.
All twelve of them had white hair, were emaciated, and were surrounded by an aura of death.
"Your descendant, Ying Tianzong, the thirtieth emperor of the Great Qin, pays respects to all our ancestors!"
Upon seeing the twelve patriarchs, Ying Tianzong quickly bowed and said...
Ying Chen also bent over slightly, but not as dramatically as Ying Tianzong.
"His~~"
"The spiritual energy is so rich! Has the spiritual energy of my Great Qin become so rich?"
A gasp rang out, filled with surprise.
The other ancestors were also full of surprise. They remembered that when they were asleep, the spiritual energy was not nearly as concentrated as it is now, not even half as concentrated.
"My esteemed ancestors, you may not know this, but our Great Qin has now advanced to the level of an imperial dynasty, so it is not surprising that we have the spiritual energy we have now!"
Ying Tianzong spoke to the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty with a face full of pride.
His tone was full of boastfulness.
"What? My Great Qin Dynasty has been promoted to an imperial dynasty?"
An elder who had been silent until the very front exclaimed in surprise.
He is the most senior person in the Great Qin Dynasty, and his cultivation is the strongest among the many sleeping ancestors.
He had reached the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, but now his lifespan was coming to an end, and coupled with his long slumber, his strength had been reduced to less than one-tenth.
He was also the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, named Ying Yue. During his reign, the Great Qin Dynasty was the most powerful among the surrounding dynasties.
However, with his talent, reaching the early stage of the Void Refinement realm was already the limit.
He had not been able to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm until his lifespan was nearing its end, at which point he had no choice but to seal himself away and transform it into his foundation.
"Are you telling the truth? Has my Great Qin really been promoted to an imperial dynasty?"
His gaze fell on Ying Tianzong, his tone full of doubt.
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, it was just that the matter was too unbelievable.
The gap between a dynasty and an imperial dynasty is like a divine punishment.
During his reign, he always wanted to elevate the Qin Dynasty to an imperial dynasty, but the further he went, the more difficult it became for him.
There was no progress as his lifespan drew to a close.
The junior before him, whose cultivation was comparable to his, actually claimed that Great Qin had advanced to an imperial dynasty—how could that be possible?
"Reporting to the Ancestor, our Great Qin has indeed been promoted to an Imperial Dynasty!"
"This is the current emperor of my Great Qin Dynasty. It is he who led my Great Qin Dynasty onto the path of an imperial dynasty!"
Ying Tianzong pointed to Ying Chen and introduced him to the ancestors.
"Ying Chen, the first emperor of the Great Qin, greets all the venerable ancestors!"
When Ying Chen heard Ying Tianzong mention him, he also bowed to the elders.
"Child, how old are you?"
Ying Yue forced out what he thought was a kind smile and said.
"I am exactly twenty-one years old!"
Ying Chen replied.
"Twenty-one years old? At the Void Refinement Realm?"
Ying Yue exclaimed again, his eyes filled with shock.
"Yes, I am indeed twenty-one years old!"
Ying Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hahahaha! Heaven blesses my Great Qin! With such a unicorn born, it is no wonder that my Great Qin has been promoted to an imperial dynasty!"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's confirmation, Ying Yue laughed loudly, and the deathly aura around him dissipated, showing a faint tendency to break through.
Ying Chen noticed this scene and was somewhat surprised. Was this a breakthrough coming amidst intense emotional fluctuations?
I never imagined that what was said in the novel was all true.
The other ancestors were also shocked. None of these ancestors had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm; the highest they had reached was the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The lowest level is only the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
They naturally couldn't discern Ying Tianzong and Ying Chen's cultivation levels, but they had heard every single word of their conversation.
He's only in his early twenties and at the Refinement of Void Realm!
How are people like them, who have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, supposed to survive?
Even if you start cultivating from the womb, it's impossible to reach the Void Refinement Realm!
"Very well! I believe you. It's no wonder that our Great Qin Dynasty can advance to become an imperial dynasty with such a prodigy!"
"That's right, our Great Qin is now an imperial dynasty, and this has been the only wish of dozens of generations of people in our Great Qin!"
"..."
The old ancestors all started talking at once, their faces full of excitement.
"Alright, quiet down, let's get down to business!"
Ying Yue said coldly. Upon hearing his words, all the ancestors fell silent. They naturally knew what Ying Yue was talking about.
After all, once they fall into slumber, they cannot be awakened at will unless one possesses the power to destroy a nation.
In other words, the Qin Dynasty is now in danger of being destroyed.
The joy of learning that the Great Qin Dynasty had been promoted to an imperial dynasty was instantly dashed, like a bucket of cold water being poured over it.
"Speak! What danger has our Great Qin Dynasty encountered that requires us old bones to come out?"
Ying Yue looked at Ying Chen and Ying Tianzong and asked.
"Ancestor, our Great Qin is not in danger now. Our Great Qin is one of the three great imperial dynasties of the Xuanxing Domain. No force in the Xuanxing Domain can threaten us!"
Ying Tianzong explained.
"If there's no danger, then why did you wake us up? Do you know that once I'm awakened, I can never fall asleep again!"
Upon hearing Ying Tianzong's words, Ying Yue felt a surge of anger and questioned him.
"This, Ancestor, I naturally know that, but..."
Ying Tianzong's face fell, and he was about to explain, but Ying Chen stopped him.
"Alright, let me speak!"
Ying Chen stepped forward and said.
"The reason I had my great-grandfather awaken all the ancestors was to help them prolong their lifespans!"
Ying Chen said with a confident expression.
"Extending lifespan?"
The ancestors of the Great Qin were all somewhat puzzled when they heard Ying Chen's words.
At their level, the only way to prolong their lifespan is to break through to a higher cultivation level.
But breaking through is easier said than done. If they could break through, they wouldn't have sealed themselves into slumber in the first place.
