All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 162 When Xu Fu Meets Qin Shi Huang
Xu Fu's actions seem to be nothing short of suicidal. He clearly suspected that Qin Shi Huang had been resurrected, yet he went to lift up Qin Shi Huang's coffin to check. Wasn't he just throwing himself away?

In reality, Xu Fu did not quite believe that Qin Shi Huang could survive.

In the world of Fengyun, immortality is not something easily obtained; it is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. Apart from the dragon, phoenix, and black tortoise, the Qilin, another auspicious beast, does not possess the power to grant immortality.

He had already refined the phoenix into a golden elixir and consumed it.

The remaining ones are the Xuan Turtle, which hides deep in the sea and whose whereabouts are unknown, and the Divine Dragon, which hides in the earth's fissures and only briefly appears on "auspicious" days, which even Qin Shi Huang could not possibly catch.

There was absolutely no chance of obtaining the power of the auspicious beast.

As for achieving immortality through human power, looking at the entire Fengyun series, including Shenwuji, there are very few examples—gods can only live forever, not remain young, demons need to possess bodies, and half-gods strictly speaking belong to mechanical ascension.

The Great Sun Tathagata may be a true immortal, but Xu Fu was unaware of his existence.

Therefore, in Xu Fu's mind, there was no other person in the world who could live forever. Only he, who had lived for a thousand years and then used that time to integrate the strengths of various schools of thought, could create the "Sacred Heart Technique" that made people live forever!
Therefore, he did not believe Chu Xiu, nor did he believe that Qin Shi Huang could be resurrected.

I just felt uneasy, so I wanted to take a look at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. That's all.

"Let me first see if Qin Shi Huang is really dead. If that brat dares to lie to me, I will definitely let him experience what it means to be treacherous!"

Xu Fu muttered to himself as he arrived at the deepest part of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.

Inside, a million terracotta warriors stand side by side, like heavenly soldiers and generals, guarding the heavenly palace.

The coffin of Qin Shi Huang did not resemble a tomb at all, but rather an underground palace, and the First Emperor himself was a god sleeping in the palace, rather than a dead man.

The layout of the tomb alone made Xu Fu wary.

No one dared to go in through the main entrance.

Instead, he quietly went around to a side hall and, from a great distance, used his internal energy to open Qin Shi Huang's coffin.

"Please, whatever you do, don't still be alive!"

Xu Fu muttered to himself, his hands ready to unleash the "Seven Deadly Situations" to escape at any moment, while his eyes used the "Shocking Calamity" to look into the distance.

At that moment, his heart was in his throat.

But soon, his anxiety subsided: inside Qin Shi Huang's coffin, there was only some dust that had settled over the years, and no remains at all.

There was also a lot of dust around the coffin.

It was clearly due to improper preservation; the remains had long since turned to ash.

"I knew it! How could Qin Shi Huang still be alive? He's long since turned to dust!" Xu Fu was completely relieved, walked over, and burst into laughter.

His smile revealed relaxation, but also a touch of loneliness and a fear of aging.

Even a powerful figure like Qin Shi Huang has been worn away by the passage of time.

Indeed, nothing can withstand the test of time.

Then, Xu Fu activated his martial arts and was about to leave the imperial tomb, but after taking a step, he found that he was actually walking in place and had not left at all.

At first, I was puzzled.

I was instantly gripped by fear; my scalp tingled and my body trembled.

When he turned around, good heavens! Right where he was standing, on the "Liuheche" (a type of ceremonial vehicle) buried next to the coffin, a clay statue was reaching out and grabbing his shoulder tightly!

With this grab, he was unable to use his "Seven Deadly Situations".

He became like an ordinary person.

The helplessness and fear that had been there for nearly two thousand years surged into his heart once again. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the stone statue bore a striking resemblance to Qin Shi Huang!

"What the hell are you?"

Xu Fu struggled desperately, but the stone statue's arm remained motionless.

"After two thousand years, you don't even recognize me anymore?" the stone statue sneered.

The next moment, Xu Fu felt his essence, energy, spirit, millennia of internal strength, and even phoenix blood rapidly draining away, flowing towards the arm on his shoulder.

He struggled, trying to fight back.

But after the palm strike, it only knocked off the outer layer of mud, revealing the young Qin Shi Huang inside, whose body was faintly radiating Buddhist light!

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Xu Fu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

But Qin Shi Huang did not say anything. He simply increased his strength and drained all of Xu Fu's power and phoenix blood before stopping and looking at the alchemist he had once trusted.

Qin Shi Huang, after merging the two worlds, was deceived more than once.

My anger level is at its maximum.

However, he did not kill Xu Fu directly.

"Of the four auspicious beasts of the Divine Land, the Qilin is the foremost, followed by the Divine Dragon, then the Black Tortoise, and finally the Phoenix!" Qin Shi Huang looked at Xu Fu and said expressionlessly, "Among them, the Qilin had its inner core extracted by the Yellow Emperor to refine its dragon vein and suppress the Divine Land, thus losing its power as an auspicious beast. The Phoenix was killed by me. Now only the Divine Dragon and the Black Tortoise remain. I intend to slay the Divine Dragon to renew the Qin Dynasty's dragon vein. Are you willing to help me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu kowtowed repeatedly and cried out, "I will die for Your Majesty!"

He originally thought that even if Qin Shi Huang hadn't died, with his thousand years of internal energy and the Sacred Heart Technique, he could still put up a fight. Now it seems he was completely overthinking it.

The person in front of me is a ruthless individual who was able to single-handedly kill Phoenix back then!
Yes, that's right, a solo kill on Phoenix!

According to Xu Fu, the Qin army killed the phoenix, and he then refined the Phoenix Blood Elixir, which he stole and ate, thus gaining the ability to live forever.

But can an army kill a mythical beast?

Do not make jokes!
In reality, the phoenix was killed by Qin Shi Huang alone. After being killed, its blood was drained and given to Xu Fu to make elixirs. Xu Fu stole and ate the elixir, and because he feared Qin Shi Huang himself, he hid for hundreds of years, never daring to return to the Central Plains!

In the fantasy world, even the contemporary Emperor Wenlong almost defeated Shuanglong Yuan Duanlang in one move.

Could someone like Qin Shi Huang, a great emperor who reigned supreme throughout history, have been lacking in martial arts skills?
"Very good!" Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu, who was prostrate on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, in an unquestionable voice, he said, "Three months! I will only give you three months. No matter what method you use, you must find the divine dragon for me!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately looked distressed.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious day has not yet arrived; it will be several years from now!"

"Then find a way to bring it forward!" Qin Shi Huang said. "I only care about the result, not the process. If you can't do it, then you're of no use to me!"

Xu Fu: "..."

He truly regretted stealing the elixir back then!
What's the point of living this long?
What a torment!
Qin Shi Huang looked towards Egypt, then glanced at Wushuang City, and sighed inwardly, "Several years? Where do I have several years to spare?"

The Scorpion King's army has assembled, but his Qin soldiers are still asleep.

The unfathomable "God of Death and Sun" is about to seize this world, but the people here are still immersed in internal strife.

Although the unknown entity gifted him a golden elixir, thus lending him a helping hand.

But the feeling he got from that person was even more terrifying and unfathomable. What would the future of China be like?

Ying Zheng did not know.

All he knew was that he had to become as strong as possible so that he would have a chance to do something!
"I can't stay at Mount Li any longer, but I can't reveal my identity either!" Qin Shi Huang thought for a moment, then reached up to the clouds and pulled down an ice mask.

Then he said, "For the foreseeable future, I will appear as the Lord of the Heavenly Gate—Emperor Shitian!"
