Rise to God with Life Skill Professions
Chapter 936 - 735: Pill Master, Array Master 27 – Someone Has Arrived (2)Qin An thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, you may withdraw for now. I'll go have a look."
Since Emperor Xuanwu had personally invited him, he naturally wouldn't waste time.
The eunuch bent over in a bow and then withdrew to attend to his tasks.
Qin An temporarily set aside his thoughts of cultivating the Scholar Profession and headed towards the Imperial Study.
...
The Imperial Study was vast. At this moment, besides Emperor Xuanwu, it was also filled with the General, the Prime Minister, and the head of the academy, all gathered here.
Apart from them, an elder from the Divine Soul World was also present, representing the experts from shattered worlds.
However, at this moment, every person's face was marked with gravity, as if they were facing the most challenging trial of their lives.
No one spoke, including Emperor Xuanwu, who was silently watching the front, maintaining this silence.
The heavy atmosphere was as thick as ink, impossible for anyone to disperse.
And then, footsteps suddenly rang out.
Emperor Xuanwu and the others, who had been silent, turned their gaze toward the entrance.
Before long, Qin An stepped into the room, dressed in a black robe.
When he saw those standing in the room, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression grew grave.
In the past, when Emperor Xuanwu summoned him, it was usually for a private meeting. Now even the General and others were present, indicating the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination.
After a brief contemplation, Qin An chose a spot to sit and slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, what is it you wish to discuss by calling me here?"
With this question, it was as if a valve was opened, and the atmosphere, previously as heavy as the sea, dispersed instantly.
Emperor Xuanwu first glanced at Qin An, his face extremely solemn, and then slowly said, "I didn't intend to disturb you this time, but I had no choice. You should be very interested in this matter."
"In the sky, a multicolored bridge suddenly appeared, landing on the very edges of the Daqian Kingdom, a place devoid of any living souls."
Speaking of this place, Emperor Xuanwu paused slightly.
Qin An furrowed his brows, pondering over Emperor Xuanwu's words.
The sudden descent of the bridge, along with its extremely remote location, undoubtedly connected with the Heavenly Demons.
Qin An thought for a moment and again asked, "Besides that bridge, did anything else descend to this location?"
As soon as this question was asked, Emperor Xuanwu promptly answered.
"People, many people, and the weakest among them are at least of the Manifest Saint Realm, and many are experts of the Celestial Human Realm."
Upon saying this, the gravity on Emperor Xuanwu's face deepened.
He paused briefly before continuing, "These people are traitors from those shattered worlds. They betrayed their worlds, allied with the Heavenly Demons, and came here. Just as we discussed before, this battle is finally about to erupt."
Qin An showed a look of realization, "In other words, that multicolored bridge is actually the power that breached our world's barrier, allowing them to descend."
Emperor Xuanwu nodded without hesitation, confirming that Qin An's understanding was accurate.
Qin An rubbed his chin, falling into deep thought.
He never expected them to come so quickly, but now that they have, what needs to be done is to strategize against their onslaught, not anything else.
Then, Qin An looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, have we made any counterattacks?"
Emperor Xuanwu took out a document and slid it across the table to Qin An, "This is my plan. No amount of explanation can substitute you reading it yourself."
Without much ado, Qin An accepted the document and began to peruse it carefully.
After finishing, he slowly closed it and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty's approach is sound. However, undertaking this will lead to fierce combat, and we can't be sure we can withstand it."
The method detailed in the document was simple yet targeted.
Emperor Xuanwu had already deployed the forces from shattered worlds that pledged allegiance to Qin An.
At the most remote border region of the Daqian Kingdom, they had set up a series of defenses to counter the attacks from those traitors.
Moreover, not only the people from the shattered worlds but also many from the Daqian Kingdom had been mobilized to the border region.
Although these people weren't Celestial Human Realm experts, they were all Manifest Saint Realm cultivators, each having once gained renown in the martial world.
As they aged, they began to disdain such vanity, retreating from the martial world to fortify their own powers.
With so many gathered, there certainly is the possibility of a significant battle.
Qin An pondered again, tapping his fingers on the table, and continued, "Is it your intention, Your Majesty, for me to go?"
Being summoned in such a situation must be related to this matter, which is evident with little thought.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded, "That's right. Even the General must be involved this time, but they won't personally go. Instead, their task is to ensure no issues arise in all aspects."
"Hence, their mission is actually more like a logistical role. A plan requires not just executors, but strategists."
Such a life-and-death battle is difficult for Emperor Xuanwu alone to arrange, hence needing someone familiar with the Daqian Kingdom's policies and its inner workings.
They are as familiar as one can be.
Therefore, entrusting them to collaborate with Emperor Xuanwu in planning is of utmost importance.
The General and others didn't speak because they knew that to speak now would only disturb Qin An's thoughts, so they waited patiently for Qin An to ponder.
Finally, Qin An spoke, "Alright, I will set off immediately."
With a new mission, especially when it concerns his own safety, he naturally wasted no time.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded, "Be careful on your way."
There were no lengthy instructions, just this one sentence, which was enough.
Because Emperor Xuanwu trusted Qin An.
Qin An stood up and left the Imperial Study, then soared into the sky, heading towards the location Emperor Xuanwu mentioned.
Soon, the Imperial Study was left with only Emperor Xuanwu and the others such as the General.
The General and others looked at Emperor Xuanwu with solemn faces.
Emperor Xuanwu took a deep breath, his eyes transitioning from solemn to resolute, "If we win this battle, we can eliminate the strongest claws of the Heavenly Demons; if we lose, then what awaits us is the most brutal end."
"Everyone, give it your all. We can't afford any slack now."
They exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, then also left the room to attend to their tasks.
Soon, the room fell silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
...
In an extremely remote place, known as the Extreme Death Land.
Here the land is barren, unsuitable for cultivation, with stark landscapes filled with yellow sand, not even fit to build a city.
Thus, even under the scope of the Daqian Kingdom, this area remains desolate.
Yet, at this moment, the wasteland housed a series of camps, each held by experts, the weakest being of the Manifest Saint Realm.
Within them lingered a sense of impending conflict.
Ding Chen was the leader this time, possessing mastery at the Celestial Human Realm Perfection, making him the top-tier expert among them.
Yet, he was deep in thought, pondering how to handle the upcoming battle.
Just as he was absorbed in thought, footsteps were suddenly heard from afar.
A Manifest Saint Realm cultivator approached swiftly, lowering his voice, "A secret report has come; Qin An has left the capital."
