Qin Chen raised his head and saw a city tower beside him. It was very tall and majestic, and it was filled with an immortal divine aura. It was very special.
Opening his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, he could see the boundless imperial aura rushing into the sky. It was as if a great ancient emperor had once stood here, but it was extremely familiar.
It was Qin Shihuang, who had once stood on a tall building.
There were thousands of corpses below, and the weakest was in Qiyao Realm. Some of them had been in Bahunag Realm before dying, and hundreds of Juitian Realm Sages’ dead bodies.
Numerous Sages, Venerables, and Kings were buried here! Other than the great ancient emperor, who else in the world could have killed this many powerful cultivators?
“Your Excellency.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Qin Chen looked into the darkness and saw a skinny figure appear without a sound. He wore a simple black robe and looked like an ordinary old man in his seventies or eighties.
He looked at Qin Chen and bowed with a smile.
Qin Shiqi, an imperial elfer.
His surname was Qin, and his first name was Shiqi.
Just like Qin Chen, he had been once the seventeenth Prince. However, Qin Shiqi was extremely talented back then and was crowned as the crown prince of the royal family.
Because it had been a long time, few people remembered his real name. Most people called him Qin Shiqi.
He was an experienced cultivator and had a long lifespan. So far, he had been an elder of the Great Qin Dynasty for almost 3000 years. He was truly an old man.
At the same time, he was one of the two imperial elders in Bahunag Realm.
Qin Chen naturally knew of this person’s arrival. Around this area, no one could appear without him knowing.
“Your Excellency.” Qin Chen also nodded slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, he was also an old senior who had cultivated for many years.
Qin Shiqi looked at the tower and smiled. “Your cultivation is indeed beyond measure. You can sense that it’s an extraordinary place.”
“Please explain to me,” Qin Chen replied.
“This place is where Emperor Shi, Qin Shihuang, burned books and buried scholars!” Qin Shiqi said proudly.
Hearing this, Qin Chen came to a realization. He thought of the Great Qin Dynasty. When Qin Shihuang was still alive, he ruled the world and was extremely powerful. During this period, some Confucian scholars thought that Emperor Shi was too brutal. Many of the Confucian experts wrote a letter together to demonstrate their ideas to the emperor.
No one knew what was written in the letter, but it angered Qin Shihuang in the end. His fury made him burn the books and bury the scholars, killing all the Confucian experts who had sent him the letter.
This incident shocked the whole world.
This was where Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars!
“May I ask why Emperor Shi burned books and buried scholars here?” Qin Chen asked curiously.
This was definitely a secret that was related to the ancient emperors, and it was even related to Emperor Shi.
Hearing this, Qin Shiqi shook his head. He looked confused and answered, “Not to mention outsiders, even the Great Qin imperial family is not sure because Emperor Shi did not leave any explanation. However, according to our understanding of Emperor Shi, he would not easily burned books and buried scholars. Back when the Great Qin Dynasty was still under the rule of Emperor Shi, Confucians were the main force to educate the world. They were also his ministers, and they worked for him for years. There were even records that some Confucians Sages had reprimanded Emperor Shi for some of his actions, and he accepted them with an open mind without feeling offended.”
“As for what happend about burning books and burying scholars, we are not too sure what was that about.”
Qin Chen was stunned.
Even the great Qin imperial family didn’t know about it. There was no doubt that there was something behind the reason Emperor Shi had burned books and buried scholars.
Qin Chen was very curious. Emperor Shi was one of the greatest emperors in history, so he should have been open-minded. How come he had decided to burn books and bury scholars?
[A super-strong divinity has been detected here. Would you like to check in here?? ]
The system’s notification rang again. This was the first time Qin Chen had heard the system’s second notification and even mentioned super-strong divinity.
“System, I want to check in here!”
Qin Chen made a prompt decision and checked in there.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in and obtained Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!]
A piece of information appeared in his mind, which delighted Qin Chen. Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint was a heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge.
A heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge was an invincible supernormal knowledge developed by a heavenly emperor, which was a level higher than an emperor-grade one.
There had been many ancient emperors in the entire Canglan Continent, but only a few of them were heavenly emperors.
One of them was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, an unrivaled existence that had suppressed everyone since ancient times. He was known as a heavenly emperor.
That was why Chaotic Holy Body was known as the number one body type at all times.
People also Qin Shihuang was also known as a great existence that was suspected to be a heavenly emperor.
When he was alive, he ruled the world and united the continent. Even ancient emperors were killed by him. He was undefeatable, and thus, he was also known as the emperor of the Ages.
Now, the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint Qin Chen had obtained by checking in here was very likely to be heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge Emperor Shi had left, even though he had never announced that such a technique existed.
A piece of supernormal knowledge quickly entered Qin Chen’s mind, allowing him to understand the situation instantly. After learning the cultivation method of Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, he was amazed.
“This is indeed heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, truly astonishing,” he thought.
Even Qin Chen, who had a check-in system, was amazed. Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint could be considered the most powerful technique. When Qin Shihuang used this technique, he directly killed a great ancient emperor. This was where the legend being documented in Gods of Honour came from.
Gods of Honour was a record of all the strongest supernormal knowledge in history. Those that could be on it were all emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. Moreover, they were the forbidden ones among the supernormal knowledge, which meant they were ultimate.
He was a great Venerable, and with the help of the Chaotic Holy Body, he could even fight against Immortals and Juitian Realm Sages.
After obtaining Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, he was sure that he could even kill an ordinary Juitian Realm Sages easily.
As a great Venerable with Chaotic Holy Body, ee could not only fight against Sages but defeat Juitian Realm Sages.
He was a powerful figure, but he would be able to kill a Sage with Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint.
Qin Chen was overjoyed. He had the power to kill Sages, so he would be able to deal with Juitian Realm Sages from now on. Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel excited. He wished there was one in front of him to test if Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint was indeed this powerful.
Of course, this was just an assumption. He would only know the truth after facing a Juitian Realm Sage.
Moreover, before demonstrating the mighty of the heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he needed to practice Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint at the beginner or intermediate level.
Qin Shiqi suddenly looked at Qin Chen and said, “I’ve heard that you’re invincible in the world. You killed the demonic venerable Yang Tiancheng, who was famous three thousand years ago, in Taiyi Holy Land, and forced the Kings of other immortal holy lands to retreat. Not long ago, you also defeated Withered Leaf Venerable with a short period of time. I’ve always wondered and wanted to know who Elder King is. Since Taiyi Holy Land has produced such an ultimate great Venerable like Elder King, I’m sure he’s not just a nobody.”
