Chapter 1 The Suggestion

Ye Chuxiao affirmed Cui Yu's suggestion.

The trip to Hedong made Ye Chuxiao fully realize his shortcomings.

Of course, among cultivators of the same level, Ye Chuxiao, with his numerous methods, life-locking cheats, and instant-escape cheats, was in a league of his own.

However, when faced with more complex situations and opponents with higher cultivation realms, he still lacked some decisive means.

Therefore, using ten great merits to exchange for the divine artifact imprints preserved by the Six Doors was an absolutely worthwhile choice.

Now that he had made a decision, he went straight to the point.

After bidding farewell to Cui Yu, who was in seclusion in the archives, Ye Chuxiao sought out the Six Doors warehouse.

Inside the Six Doors warehouse, the one-eyed old constable in charge of guarding it was said to be a former Gold Badge Constable, but he had used forbidden techniques when fighting criminals, which damaged his foundation. Not only did his cultivation not improve, but his lifespan was also greatly reduced, so he came to the warehouse to retire.

Ye Chuxiao greeted him politely, offering a 'meeting gift' with great tact, and then made his request to exchange for the imprints.

The one-eyed old constable accepted the gift and brought three wooden boxes to Ye Chuxiao.

Then he opened the wooden boxes one by one.

Three oppressive auras permeated from the wooden boxes, even clashing with each other, as if they were competing.

The one-eyed old constable first picked up the first wooden box and held it up in front of Ye Chuxiao. This divine artifact imprint had a black background with blood-colored patterns, and one could smell the bloody scent emanating from it even three feet away.

"This imprint is made using the skin of a thousand-year-old Black Water Poison Python as the base, and it is branded with an 80% power strike of the Six Doors' signature divine artifact, the Black Dragon Guillotine. Although there is no backlash after use, it is best to seize the opponent's illegal evidence and loudly proclaim it before use, otherwise the power will be weakened."

"Since you are a constable of the Six Doors, then I most recommend this one to you. Even if it is just a divine artifact strike imprint, there will still be some divine artifact spirituality remaining on it. The spirituality of the Black Dragon Guillotine will have extra favor for the Six Doors constables," said the one-eyed old constable.

Ye Chuxiao did not make a judgment immediately.

Even if this imprint was indeed the best and most suitable, he still had to look further down to broaden his knowledge.

The one-eyed old constable then picked up the second box: "This is made using the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros as the base, and it is branded with a 70% power strike of the Prison Suppressing divine artifact, the Xuanhu Treasure Seal. This item combines the power of sealing and gravity and is best used close to the ground, or even deep underground. There is a possibility that you yourself will be restricted while using it."

Ye Chuxiao also realized at this time that the divine artifact suppressing the Ministry of Justice's dungeon was the Xuanhu Treasure Seal.

Seeing Ye Chuxiao look towards the third box, the one-eyed old constable solemnly picked it up.

At first glance, the imprint in this box looked the most ordinary, with simple white background and yellow patterns, and even the aura was not strong.

"This imprint is the most special. It is branded with a 50% power strike of the Great Heng's National Protecting divine artifact, the Juntian Sword. And the carrier of this special divine artifact's 50% power strike is the skin of a rebel king that was peeled off more than a hundred years ago," said the one-eyed old constable.

Ye Chuxiao looked at the three imprints, and then asked, "Which of these three is the strongest?"

While speaking, there was no extra change in expression.

But in fact, Ye Chuxiao had already set his sights on the last imprint.

Because on that imprint, there was still a Dao rhyme aura remaining.

"Of course, it's this one. Whether it's the Xuanhu Treasure Seal or the Black Dragon Guillotine, they are just ordinary divine artifacts. They are forged by humans with precious materials, and then tempered with spirituality for many years, until the spirituality is greatly accomplished before they become divine artifacts. The Juntian Sword is different. It is a National Protecting divine artifact, carrying the national destiny of Great Heng. If Great Heng is not destroyed, the power of the Juntian Sword will far exceed many other divine artifacts of the same level," said the one-eyed old constable.

"Then it must have usage defects!" Ye Chuxiao said.

The one-eyed old constable said, "That's right! The primary condition for using this imprint is to be an official of my Great Heng, and an official above the seventh rank. You, as a Silver Badge, meet this requirement, but after use, three sword marks will appear on your body. Within ten years, you must do three major things that benefit the country and the people for Great Heng before the sword marks will disappear. Otherwise, after ten years, the Juntian Sword will automatically be unsheathed. As long as you are still in this world, no matter where you are, the Juntian Sword will take your life."

"The Juntian Sword is a true national artifact and cannot be used lightly. Even through the imprint, every use is a consumption of the national destiny, so there are measures for users to supplement the national destiny."

"Are there only these three imprints in the Six Doors warehouse?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

The one-eyed old constable said, "Of course, there are more than just these three. There should be eleven in total, but these three are of the best quality, and the Juntian Sword imprint is only this one."

"How much does the Juntian Sword imprint exceed the other two?" Ye Chuxiao asked again.

The one-eyed old constable said, "How would I know that? I haven't seen it before, but according to the records in the classics, the power of the Juntian Sword when it erupts with full force is at least five times that of ordinary divine artifacts. The stronger the national power, the more fierce the power of the National Protecting divine artifact."

Ye Chuxiao calculated in his mind that the Juntian Sword imprint was 50% power.

But this 50% far exceeded the 100% of ordinary divine artifacts.

With several thoughts turning in his mind, Ye Chuxiao finally closed the box belonging to the Juntian Sword imprint and hugged it in his arms.

"Tell Lord Shi! Just say that I, Ye Chuxiao, am very honored that he can think highly of me," Ye Chuxiao said to the one-eyed old constable.

The one-eyed old constable smiled when he heard this: "You kid is quite clever, but next time you encounter this kind of thing, just know it in your heart, there's no need to say it out loud."

Having obtained the Juntian Sword imprint, Ye Chuxiao had one more trump card.

Afterwards, he continued to cultivate steadily, making steady progress in both illusion techniques and sound cultivation.

Of course, in order to communicate with the demoness Ying Shu more safely, Ye Chuxiao increased his daily research in illusion techniques.

In terms of illusion techniques, Ye Chuxiao consulted Feng Yu, the disgraced grand eunuch who was serving his sentence in the Heavenly Prison. This grand eunuch was once the most trusted inner servant of the late emperor. After the late emperor's death, he deliberately sought a mistake and requested to serve his sentence in the Ministry of Justice.

Now, it has been quite a few years.

He came to the Ministry of Justice prison much earlier than Ye Chuxiao.

When Xu Biao was the warden of the Ministry of Justice dungeon, he could only hold and respect this grand eunuch, but he didn't dare to really treat him as a prisoner.

Like some of the criminal officials, Feng Yu was also hiding from disaster in this Ministry of Justice prison.

As a close attendant of the late emperor, after the late emperor's death, his best destinations were none other than the Ministry of Justice prison and the late emperor's mausoleum.

Retiring to his hometown sounded nice, but it was risky to do.

Once he left the Divine Capital City, there would be too many people plotting against him.

He knew too many royal secrets. Neither the current empress dowager nor the emperor would allow him, such an 'unexpected factor,' to leave the Divine Capital and escape control.

When Feng Yu was still a young eunuch, he was good at using illusion techniques to transform flowers and birds, pleasing nobles.

During his most glorious years, the most talked about event was that during the Rebellion of the Three Kings, he used a lifelike illusion technique to transform into 100,000 iron cavalry, temporarily scaring away the enemy troops and buying time for the king's loyal cavalry.
