Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border
Chapter 1013 Self-Severing Foundation and Transforming Cultivation
Emperor Tianyang gritted his teeth, his face contorted with struggle, and said, "Fine... I agree!"
Seeing that Emperor Tianyang had agreed to submit, Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a satisfied smile. The divine blessing brought by the submission of this chosen one, born from the incomplete fortune of the Middle Thousand Worlds, would be beyond imagination.
Ying Zheng said meaningfully, "Very good. No matter how you cultivate your Dao Fruit of Mountains and Rivers, you will find it difficult to escape the cage set up by the Cangmang Daoist. You must completely change your foundation."
Emperor Tianyang hesitated slightly, but quickly made up his mind: "I am willing to give up the Dao fruit I have cultivated all my life. It's just that in recent years, I have been completely immersed in the Dao of mountains and rivers and the state, and it is difficult to get rid of its influence. Unless... I can get guidance from a more profound lineage of gods and demons."
Understanding the deeper meaning in Emperor Tianyang's words, Ying Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Then I will bestow upon you the wondrous Sun Technique!"
As Ying Zheng pointed his finger, Emperor Tianyang did not dodge and calmly accepted this divine and demonic inheritance. Instantly, a vast phantom of the sun hung high in the sky, carrying with it awe-inspiring divine might and a scorching power capable of burning all things.
This power was entirely different from the Taiyin Mystic Method that Ying Zheng had previously displayed. Although they repelled each other, they also subtly showed a symbiotic relationship. With the vision of the Heavenly Sun Emperor, he could naturally see that if one cultivated the Taiyang Mystic Method to its extreme, reaching the state of pure Yang generating Yin, and then cultivated the Taiyin Mystic Method to harmonize Yin and Yang, one could glimpse the supreme power in the world. This kind of inheritance far surpassed the Dao of Mountains and Rivers that he cultivated; in terms of both intent and status, they were incomparable.
"I'm here to help you eliminate the old regime. If you rely on yourself, who knows how much time you'll waste." Seeing Emperor Tianyang's eagerness to start cultivating immediately, Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed.
Emperor Tianyang did not refuse. He knew that if he were to sever his foundation and switch cultivation methods himself, it would inevitably damage his foundation. Having the unfathomable Ying Zheng intervene would only benefit him.
"Heavenly Blade, Slash!"
This immortal technique, derived from the concept of "Heaven's Will is Like a Blade," can sever all things without causing the slightest harm. Ying Zheng used his hand as a blade, slashing down with precise precision, severing the old foundation of the Heavenly Sun Emperor, yet without damaging his physical body or primordial spirit in the slightest.
At the same time, the Dao Fruit of Mountains and Rivers was separated from Emperor Tianyang's body, and in a trance, it seemed as if a vast land of rivers and mountains appeared, with endless songs of praise from all living beings echoing. Ying Zheng flipped his hand and took out an ancient and simple seal, on which flowed the meaning of "great virtue carries all things"—this was the heart of the mountain range formed by the condensation of the mountains and rivers of Cangzhou, which could barely bear this Dao Fruit of Mountains and Rivers.
Ying Zheng intended to refine it into a divine and demonic treasure to suppress the dynasty, thus not disgracing the power of this Dao Fruit. As the Dao Fruit merged with it, the will of Heaven and the fortune of humanity blessed the divine seal, and the seal surface was engraved with the patterns of mountains and rivers, finally becoming a twelfth-tier divine and demonic treasure—the Mountain and River Seal. The fortune of Heaven and Earth began to swirl around it, and the entire seven hundred states of Tai Xuan seemed to be in Ying Zheng's grasp.
Emperor Tianyang had no interest in Ying Zheng's attempt to refine the treasure: "Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."
Ying Zheng nodded, watching Emperor Tianyang turn and leave. At this time, the entire Qingzhou had been razed to the ground in the aftermath of the previous battle, and countless lives had perished, but neither Ying Zheng nor Emperor Tianyang took it to heart.
Then, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the reincarnated beings, including the Demon Buddha Wuxin. Under his gaze, these reincarnated beings were filled with shock and disbelief: "Why would such a powerful being appear in this mission? They must be beings of the twelfth rank of gods and demons or higher!"
"You all, why don't you leave now!" Ying Zheng said coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were ordered to leave, at least their lives wouldn't be taken. Ignoring the punishment for failing the mission, they all used the power of the main god to escape this realm. But what they didn't know was that from the moment they appeared and came into contact with Ying Zheng, a karmic mark had been silently planted on them. No matter where they fled, they could not escape Ying Zheng's control.
With these troublemakers gone, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Next came the sweeping conquest of the seven hundred states of Tai Xuan, the establishment of a new dynasty, the gathering of the will of Heaven and the people, and the ascension to the position of world ruler. Because the reincarnators had invested numerous systems into this world, coupled with the Heavenly Sun Emperor's deliberate promotion, this world was already showing signs of autonomous ascension. Although fraught with difficulties, Ying Zheng believed it was not impossible, only that it would take a very long time.
After this battle, Pei Yuancai truly understood the immense power he was relying on. He hurriedly stepped forward, eagerly awaiting Ying Zheng's instructions.
"Issue the order to the Holy Land of Ziyang to sweep across the land, starting from Cangzhou. Those who are wise enough to act should know how to choose," Ying Zheng commanded indifferently.
Pei Yuan quickly bowed and replied, "I will obey Your Excellency's orders!"
Playing with the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Ying Zheng returned to Qingfeng Mountain, awaiting his forces to sweep across the world. News of their battle quickly spread throughout the seven hundred states. Except for a few who were out of touch with reality, the major powers surrendered or even joined the forces when the forces of the Ziyang Holy Land and the Taiyin Divine Sect arrived.
Thus, the Azure King's fame resounded throughout the universe, and endless fortune converged upon Ying Zheng. The diversion of human fortune was a fatal blow to the Tai Xuan Dynasty, but none of them dared to act rashly. Because the Mountain and River Seal constantly plundered fortune, the Tai Xuan Dynasty's status as the True Dragon of Humanity was on the verge of collapse, almost falling from grace. The Yin Land, which was opened up with the dynasty's fortune, also showed signs of turmoil. The emperors of Tai Xuan gathered to discuss the matter, but all of them looked dejected and helpless.
The news from Qingzhou caused an uproar among various forces and numerous powerful figures.
Who could have imagined that the Heavenly Sun Emperor, who founded the first dynasty hundreds of thousands of years ago, would appear and confront the ancient being who had transformed into the Azure King? This conflict ultimately ended with the Heavenly Sun Emperor's defeat and submission to the Azure King.
The Heavenly Sun Emperor is a being surpassing even Ghost Immortals. The fact that the ancient god could subdue him speaks volumes about his divine power. Furthermore, with the Azure King now aiming to unify the seven hundred states, various forces are submitting to him, hoping to obtain the secret method to break through to the Ghost Immortal realm without the aid of destiny.
However, as the legitimate ruler of the world, the Tai Xuan Dynasty could not submit to the Cang King like other forces. But to try to stop the Cang King's advance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—even the Heavenly Sun Emperor, who was above the Ghost Immortal realm, had submitted; who would believe that their own ancestor, Tai Xuan, could withstand him?
For a moment, everyone in the court hesitated.
Just then, an aged yet majestic figure materialized in the void. Though exuding an aura of decay, it also faintly emanated the ethereal charm of immortality. Ghost Immortals cultivate their primordial spirit; their physical bodies may decay, but their primordial spirit remains immortal. Now, with his ten-thousand-year lifespan nearing its end, Tai Xuan already showed signs of twilight.
"So, the Heavenly Sun Emperor appeared in the world, only to be subdued by the ancient god who transformed into the Azure King... It seems we have no other choice. Perhaps if I personally intervene, I can sell this dynasty for a good price and obtain the true scripture to break through to the Ghost Immortal realm," Tai Xuan muttered to himself.
Upon hearing this, a look of helplessness appeared in the eyes of everyone present. This was the best option at the moment. If they waited for the Azure King to rule the world, the Tai Xuan Dynasty would only face destruction.
"There is no time to lose. The longer we delay, the more unfavorable the situation will become!" Tai Xuan moved, traversing the depths of the earth, heading straight for Qingfeng Mountain in Cangzhou.
Cangzhou and Tianzhou are hundreds of states apart, but for a Ghost Immortal, it's just a few steps away. The moment Tai Xuan stepped into the territory of the Taiyin Divine Sect, he felt the immense power emanating from the Dao of Mountains and Rivers, waves of pressure shaking his mind—this was definitely a realm above Ghost Immortals!
As far as he knew, this Way of Mountains and Rivers was the very path cultivated by the Heavenly Sun Emperor. If the Heavenly Sun Emperor, who had been defeated by an ancient god, was so powerful, then what kind of being was that ancient god? Thinking of this, a glint of ambition flashed in Tai Xuan's eyes.
"This junior scholar, a mere novice of the Tai Xuan school, has come to pay his respects to Your Highness, the Cang King!" The old, hoarse voice echoed in the void. Tai Xuan stood on the ground, bowed respectfully, and awaited Ying Zheng's summons.
Before long, Pei Yuan, the leader of the Taiyin Divine Sect, personally came forward to receive this ancestor of the Taixuan Dynasty: "Come with me, the senior wishes to see you."
Tai Xuan suppressed his excitement and humbly followed Pei Yuan into the Taiyin Divine Sect. The moment he stepped into the main hall, he saw a seal floating in the air, engraved with the four characters "Shanhe Sheji" (Mountains, Rivers, and Sovereignty). In a daze, it seemed as if a vast and beautiful landscape appeared, suppressing his mind and spirit.
Tai Xuan's aged body grew increasingly reserved, no longer daring to probe with his mind. This Mountain and River Seal alone contained enough power to suppress him. His posture became even more humble. Seeing this, Pei Yuan chuckled inwardly, "I knew this old fellow was restless; it would have been perfect to let the Mountain and River Seal dampen his arrogance."
The cool moonlight bathed the main hall, and a figure suddenly appeared before them. Pei Yuan and Tai Xuan were startled awake and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior!"
Ying Zheng silently gazed at Tai Xuan. Tai Xuan's face twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Now that Your Highness has awakened, the world should naturally be under your rule. Tai Xuan is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse..." His words were full of flattery, and an uninformed person would think he was trying to refuse some hot potato.
Ying Zheng chuckled, "You're quite sensible. I bestow this cultivation technique upon you, and this wisp of primordial energy will help you rebuild your foundation. When we meet again, I hope you will have condensed Yin Earth into a blessed land and achieved the Dao fruit of an Earth Immortal."
A wisp of primordial energy flowed into Tai Xuan's body, instantly causing him to radiate boundless divine light. His aged body became slender and upright, no longer showing any signs of his previous deathly state. Feeling an unprecedentedly good condition, and looking at the profound cultivation technique in his mind, Tai Xuan trembled with excitement.
The Human Immortal Martial Path opens up all the acupoints in the body, even shattering the void... What an exquisite method this is! He barely achieved the Ghost Immortal realm with the blessing of Heaven, and his cultivation technique was only sublimated to the Ghost Immortal level after ten thousand years of comprehension. And the system displayed by this Human Immortal Martial Path is more profound than martial arts, and its prospects are even more brilliant.
"Thank you for your grace, my lord!" Tai Xuan's voice trembled, his expression humble.
"Step down. Arrange the coronation ceremony as soon as possible," Ying Zheng ordered indifferently.
"I will do it immediately!" Tai Xuan hurriedly replied.
After Ying Zheng's figure disappeared, Tai Xuan hurriedly returned to Tianzhou to arrange the change of dynasty.
Three months later, everything was ready. On the altar of Heaven, Ying Zheng, dressed in the twelve-chapter imperial robe, stepped onto the ninety-nine-foot-nine-zhang-nine-zhang-high platform. Hundreds of millions of people knelt before him, with the Heavenly Sun Emperor and Tai Xuan at the head.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects and wish you eternal glory!"
The vast sounds of worship resounded through the void, and Ying Zheng clearly felt the favor of Heaven and the blessings of humanity upon him. With the support of both Heaven and humanity, he began his ascent to the position of Lord of the World.
Despite the slight backlash from the Heavenly Dao, Ying Zheng forcefully suppressed it, stepping on the will of the world to ascend to the position of the Lord of the World. In an instant, boundless divine light emanated from his body, and his illusory body, originally formed from strange power, completely solidified.
At this moment, the world began its own ascension, seeking to regain its former glory, and Ying Zheng's power slowly increased accordingly. Ying Zheng did not hinder the world's ascension, but the thought of the massive resources required caused him a headache—it would likely be difficult to achieve without millions of years. Currently unable to freely traverse the Chaos Sea, Ying Zheng could not assist the world's ascension and could only allow it to slowly absorb chaotic energy to fill its primordial void.
After becoming the ruler of the world, Ying Zheng was able to perceive more clearly the laws governing this world.
It must be understood that the laws of each world differ, and Ying Zheng, with his authority as the ruler of this world, meticulously observed the operation of its rules. The runes of law surrounding him at this moment appeared quite complete, but this was ultimately only at the level of a middle-thousand world. To truly deduce a particular rule to perfection was virtually impossible.
Ying Zheng used the strange power to reconnect with his original body and transmit the Dao he had comprehended back to it. At the same time, this world no longer required his attention; he only needed to wait for it to naturally complete its ascension.
In the Hongmeng Universe, after Ying Zheng's main body received the insights from his clone, the divine runes of law swirling in his palm received considerable benefits, and his understanding of his own path to enlightenment became much more profound. Even the cultivation systems of the Middle Thousand Worlds brought him countless sparks of inspiration.
"It's time to choose another world. This time, we must choose a stronger realm, at least at the level of a Great Thousand World," Ying Zheng murmured to himself.
At the same time, he contacted his hidden contingency plan in the God Realm and transferred a portion of his will there. However, relying solely on strategic moves was ultimately passive, so Ying Zheng used a portion of his strange power to possess and assimilate a physical body, entering the God Realm with the God's invitation. Because he only carried a portion of the will, and due to the cover provided by the strange power, even if this physical body was exposed, it would not implicate his true self.
After adapting to his new body, Ying Zheng examined the list of worlds provided by the main god within his own small world. He directly selected a crystal-walled world belonging to a divine civilization—the Taino World. This world was at the level of a Great Thousand World, possessing enough resources to nurture a Great Luo Immortal, and it had little connection with other Great Luo Immortals. This was precisely why Ying Zheng chose it—he did not want to encounter those Great Luo Immortals who roamed the Chaos Sea, lest he fall into a life-or-death situation.
"The Taino World has been selected. The Supreme God initiates the teleportation!"
"The test indicates this is the first time a Reincarnator has completed a beginner's quest, activating beginner benefits and reducing the quest difficulty!"
As the cold voice of the supreme god echoed, Ying Zheng, who had assumed the identity of a nobleman, sat upright in the luxurious room, sensing the task issued by the supreme god:
"There are three main quests in this world. Completing any one of them will allow you to return!"
"Mission One: Seize the Creation Scroll, reward: 10 million Reincarnation Points!"
"Mission Two: Guide the world into Ragnarok, reward: 10 million Reincarnation Points!"
"Task Three: Submit the divine essence; the reward depends on the value of the divine essence!"
Examining these three tasks, the first two left Ying Zheng feeling rather helpless. In this vast world, the status of items related to creation was immeasurably high, and even if he were to personally arrive, he might not be able to obtain them. The second task was equally difficult—based on the information he obtained from his divine sense covering the continent at the moment of his descent, there were at least two beings in this world of equal status to his own, making the attempt to incite Ragnarok as difficult as a mortal ascending to heaven.
The third task, submitting the divine essence, was relatively easy for Ying Zheng. The cultivation system in this world is divided into nine ranks: Transcendent, Weak Divine Power, Lesser Divine Power, Middle Divine Power, Greater Divine Power, Great Divine Power, Primordial God, and Creator God. The Creator God, Taino, is rumored to have perished long ago, but his creation scrolls still circulate throughout countless planes. (End of Chapter)
