Chapter 744: Chapter 607: Earth Book, Human Book; the Great Dao has no Master

Apart from Wang Yuan, the other eunuchs and palace maids serving in the palace were all ordinary people; where had they ever seen such a display?

They hadn’t paid any attention to what the Inner Court Eunuch had said.

They just stared blankly at the "little eunuch," who used to be somewhat familiar, as he transformed in quick succession into a cheetah, a bird, a mosquito, a brick...

Trying to escape the confines of the "Heavenly Terrace."

But as the net of increasingly fierce Prison Law Hook Locks closed in from all directions, he gradually became overwhelmed.

Unless he could compensate for the flaws in the Dragon Qi Silk Thread, even if his 72 Transformations were seamless to perfection, they couldn’t evade the locked gaze of the Qi Fortune Golden Dragon.

If the Painted Skin Ghost couldn’t do it, he certainly couldn’t do it either.

Furthermore, the path to elevation for this Wanxiang Ancestor was destined to be a hundred times more difficult than Wang Yuan’s.

Wang Yuan sought Immortal Ascension with only a Half-Immortal Underground Master above him.

But sitting above the Wanxiang Ancestor was an authentic Corpse Dissection Immortal, the Victorious Fighting King!

Unless the Victorious Fighting King perished in battle one day, the Wanxiang Ancestor’s aspiration for immortality was doomed to be a nightmare.

This didn’t even consider where as a Green Seal Strange Immortal, he would find a top-grade Killing Dao Fruit; the No-Life Fruit.

Crack!

No surprise occurred; he didn’t get very far before being chained and pierced through the shoulder blades by a hook, his 72 Transformations no longer sustainable.

Then, like his predecessors, the Elephant Head Ming King and the Corpse Son, he was pulled up high, bloody and grotesque, to become a Human Pillar.

Even though the Wanxiang Ancestor was a Strange Immortal, he was undoubtedly the ruler of Yong State, the master of the system.

The 72 Transformations naturally had seventy-two separate lives, fully satisfying the requirements of a sacrifice.

The only thing he had over his predecessors was his Body was always kept outside the tomb, so he didn’t lose everything in one go.

By now, including Lord Hao Li who had become "unhappy," Wang Yuan was the only one left in the Dharma Image realm who hadn’t stumbled.

It was just for the time being, however.

Witnessing the tragic fate of those using the Finger Transformation Technique, a group of palace attendants huddled together like quails, frightened.

It took them quite a while to recover their senses and then they displayed their loyalty to the responsible eunuch.

"Inner Official, this servant is utterly loyal to His Majesty, with no second thoughts!"

"Inner Official, I’ve been serving diligently for more than a decade without a single mistake, you must believe me!"

"..."

In fact, under the "ignorant populace" and "poor populace" systems of the Great Qin Empire, people didn’t possess any concept of loyalty or patriotism.

All they wanted was to survive with a minimum supply of material needs, indifferent to who ruled over them.

The people of Qin State believed in Emperor Shi purely out of inertia from a history spanning eighteen hundred years, just like Buddhists are used to worshipping Buddha at home.

In this context, the Wishing Power and Dragon Qi Silk Thread generated by the populace were naturally very weak.

Compared to those enlightened individuals who had ignited their Heart Light, they were not even worth mentioning.

But these palace attendants who had served long in Efang Palace were among the few spiritually awakened in the dynasty, and their Dragon Qi Silk Thread was much stronger than those of the ignorant men and women.

At this moment, Wang Yuan, standing at the back of the line, no longer had the leisure to consider the merits and drawbacks of the "Five Techniques of Civilian Control" and the "Everyone as Dragons" governing models.

He was about to face his own trial.

"There’s no need for nervousness.

The Prime Minister has ordered that until the Corpse Sacrifice begins tomorrow, this ’Heavenly Terrace’ is open only for entry, not for exit.

During the Corpse Sacrifice, only the most devout Palace Attendants, who harbor no divided loyalties towards His Majesty the Emperor, will deserve to wait upon him in the palace gardens closest to the Great Tomb.

I believe in your loyalty."

Under the gaze of the Qi Fortune Golden Dragon, the eunuch once again lifted the Official Seal towards the foremost Palace Attendant.

The ritual demanded: [To host a grand coronation ceremony that worships the Emperor as if he were a God,

for one’s thousand-year dynasty to return to the mainstream of the Human Dao, "borrow" the resurrection of a Mortal World dynasty, and thereby complete the ultimate elevation.]

To support the ritual, it was obviously better for the participants closest to the "Heavenly Terrace" to be as devout as possible.

Preferably, they should revere Emperor Shi with the same fervor as believers in God.

These palace attendants, who were qualified to enter the "Heavenly Terrace," were already the long-serving veterans of the Inner Court, all meeting the required standards.

They were allowed to pass in succession without issue.

Soon enough, it was Wang Yuan’s turn, disguised in a palace maid’s clothing.

Under these circumstances, even if there were some effective method to compensate for the shortcomings of the Dragon Qi connection, it was already too late to implement it.

Wang Yuan could only brace himself.

He was preparing for the moment when the Official Skill closed in.

To attempt using the Power of the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts to pull the soul of the palace maid wrapped in the Painted Skin Ghost’s human skin back to the forefront, replacing himself to undergo the inspection.

To bet that the Qi Fortune Golden Dragon couldn’t see through his disguise.

"At the very least, I still have Changgeng Enlightenment. If anything goes wrong, I’ll just kill myself right there and avoid becoming a live sacrifice like those poor souls on the ritual altar.

After being thrown out by the guards, I can access my saves and resurrect at the last dusk or dawn (Chapter 473).

But if anything goes awry, sneaking back in later will be troublesome."

Wang Yuan stepped onto the white marble steps of the "Heavenly Terrace" with some apprehension, ready to stake everything on his fortune, which he was least adept at.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped onto the "Heavenly Terrace," a familiar throbbing surged in his heart.

"This is..."

The object that had previously interacted with his Earth Que Golden Book, possibly advancing his Heavenly Department Dao Skill, was unmistakably concealed beneath the Heavenly Terrace!

Instantly, Wang Yuan faintly heard an imperial command resounding at the bottom of his heart.
