Ying Zheng sat at his desk, with a tall stack of bamboo slips and memorials in front of him.
Since he swept across the land and established the Qin Empire, he has had too many things to deal with.
As the first emperor, he held all the power in his own hands. Although he had many ministers, he did not actually trust many of them. He only felt at ease when he personally handled these memorials.
The descendants of the six states are all watching, eager to see this grand building collapse so they can then divide up the newly established Qin Empire.
Although he achieved the standardization of writing and the unification of cart tracks, the integration of the seven states, their complete acceptance of Qin, and their becoming true subjects of Qin still required a process.
This process was very long. Ying Zheng knew that it would be difficult to achieve in his generation. It would take at least several decades and the efforts of several generations before the results could be seen.
"Immortals really exist, living for three thousand years, three thousand years!" Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a look of infatuation.
He had only been in the Dadao chat group for a few days, introduced by group member Wang Ye.
Knowing in advance about the fate of the Qin Dynasty, they had no idea, much less that, beyond the Seven Kingdoms, there was a vast territory in the far west that was no less powerful than the Qin Dynasty, and on the other side of the sea, there was a huge undeveloped land.
According to Wang Ye, the territory there might be larger than ten times the size of the Qin Dynasty, and that's a conservative estimate; there are even more resources there.
Ying Zheng wanted to conquer these places, but time was running out. He felt his health deteriorating and his time was running out.
"No matter what, I must survive and learn the true immortal arts. According to Immortal Xu Yi, there might be a treasure like the elixir of immortality in the group, but I wonder what the price would be?"
"Hey."
Ying Zheng sighed and leaned back in his chair, looking even more haggard from staying up all night.
From the shadows on one side, a tall, mysterious figure emerged.
"Your Majesty, you should rest." The mysterious man held an ancient longsword, his aura restrained, but his eyes were sharp.
There is only one person in the entire world who could wield a weapon and be so close to Ying Zheng, and that person is the Sword Saint Gai Nie.
During Ying Zheng's time as a hidden dragon, Gai Nie stayed by his side, thwarting numerous assassination attempts and saving Ying Zheng from life-or-death situations on many occasions.
Emperors are all lonely, without friends, and even their relatives are accompanied by suspicion and scheming.
Ying Zheng understood this deeply, as that was how he had come to be.
However, Gai Nie was different. To Ying Zheng, Gai Nie was an old friend. Sometimes he could confide in him and describe his grand plans for hegemony. Gai Nie could understand him.
Having just one person was enough; Ying Zheng felt he wasn't completely alone.
“It is indeed time for me to rest. I am no longer young. For the sake of the empire, I must pay attention to my health,” Ying Zheng said.
Gai Nie nodded slightly; it was rare for Ying Zheng to listen to advice today.
Ying Zheng poured himself a cup of wine and then poured one for Gai Nie, saying, "Gai Nie, let's have a drink together."
Gai Nie paused for a moment, but still took a step closer, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ah."
Ying Zheng's lips curled slightly as he downed his drink in one gulp. Taking advantage of the wine, he said, "Gai Nie, you are a disciple of Guiguzi. Do you believe there are immortals in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Gai Nie's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head. "The talk of immortals is too ethereal. Your Majesty knows that you have been seeking the way to immortality, but life and death are inherently predetermined by heaven and earth. As for those alchemists and elixirs, Your Majesty, you should consume less of them."
Gai Nie offered a very tactful piece of advice: he was an outsider with a clearer perspective, but for emperors, the temptation of immortality was too great.
Even just one more day of life is enough to drive someone mad.
However, this time Ying Zheng listened to the advice very well, "Hmm, I understand. From now on, I won't take the golden elixir."
“!” Gai Nie.
……
In the world of "Covering the Sky," in the Northern Region, at the sacred site of the Myriad Desires Hermitage.
Saintess An Miaoyi stood in a lush green bamboo forest, her appearance pure and elegant, her figure slender and graceful.
Like a piece of exquisite jade, its aura is cold and elegant, like snow, seemingly carrying frost, and possesses a captivating charm.
Her eyes were ethereal and deep, and she wore a white, otherworldly fairy dress. Although she wore a veil, it could not hide her unparalleled beauty.
"Xu Yi".
An Miaoyi spoke softly. Since joining the Great Dao Chat Group and becoming a member, she felt her fate changing silently, especially after encountering a powerful being from the same world, a Saint Lord-level expert.
The key point is that the other party is only in his twenties, a few years older than him. They are about the same age, but their cultivation levels are so different.
She wasn't jealous; she was just marveling at how many heroes there were in the world.
It's a pity the other party isn't in Beidou, otherwise I definitely would have met them!
If they came to Beidou, they would probably become famous throughout the world in no time, and might even establish a powerful lineage.
Although there are many geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness, there are only a few who can truly catch her attention.
An Miaoyi has great ambitions. She wants to walk the path of the Great Emperor and the path of the Bodhisattva, cultivating both Buddhism and Taoism. However, this path is destined to be turbulent and full of hardships and difficulties. If she is not careful, she may even die and perish.
Therefore, she has been investing and befriending various prodigies, hoping to find a protector who can remove obstacles in her path.
Of course, she is willing to give everything for this.
However, if you fail, you will ultimately fail to pass the level.
She would choose to descend into the mortal world, seek enlightenment in an unorthodox way, and kill everyone connected to her.
It has to be said, she is an extremely crazy woman.
However, there is still one problem: An Miaoyi is not sure if they are really in the same universe.
Because the members come from different worlds, Xu Yi may also come from a similar world.
……
Meanwhile, on Earth, in Jiang City.
Xu Yi temporarily left the chat group, but he was extremely excited.
I originally planned to ride the Nine Dragons Coffin into Beidou, but now that I have a Beidou group member, I can enter Beidou through the chat group if I have the opportunity in the future.
However, he was unsure whether An Miaoyi was on the same timeline or in the same world as him.
There are countless parallel universes in the myriad realms.
"Anyway, the system only requires you to sign in to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, and it doesn't specify which world it is, so I might as well give it a try." Xu Yi thought about it and decided to give it a shot.
The next morning.
Xu Yi had just finished meditating when he sensed someone had come to his house. When he went downstairs, he saw Ye Fan and Xu Qiong busy in the kitchen, making breakfast.
However, Ye Fan did most of the cooking, and he did it quite well, showing that he had some culinary skills.
"Brother Yi."
Ye Fan noticed that Xu Yi had come down and quickly greeted him. He was all smiles, looking polite and radiant.
"Good morning, Yezi," Xu Yi greeted.
"Although I agreed to let you two be together, you don't need to be so enthusiastic, Yezi. Coming all the way here to make breakfast first thing in the morning? You should use that time to go to the company and work overtime."
Xu Yi sat down on the sofa and made a joke.
"Brother Yi, working overtime is out of the question," Ye Fan chuckled.
“Your age is the time to strive, sigh.” Xu Yi sighed.
"Brother, I'm planning to go on a month-long trip with Ye Fan."
Hsu Chiung came over with breakfast, her face beaming.
"A month-long trip?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
If that's the case, who knows when Kowloon will pull the coffin?
“Yes, actually I’ve had this idea for a while. Brother Yi, in the first few years after the company was founded, I worked too many nights. Now that the company is in your hands, I’ve decided to take a break. The world is so big, I want to go and see it,” Ye Fan said.
"..." Xu Yi.
"Ding, story mission triggered: Defeat Ye Fan head-on and beat him up. Mission complete, earn 5,000 points."
At that moment, the chat group started making noise.
Upon seeing this task, Xu Yilai perked up. However, the cause and effect of this task might be a bit too significant, wouldn't it?
……
P.S.: During the new book release period, I'd like to request some data.
Chapter 5 Ye Fan, the Master of Sanda, Slay the Dao!
Jiang City, a private gym.
Xu Yi and Ye Fan stood on the arena, with no spectators around them.
"Brother Yi, go easy on him!" Ye Fan said, having changed out of his casual clothes and into a loose black Sanda uniform.
"Yes, they will show mercy." Xu Yi nodded, his gaze kind.
In order to obtain the first mission points in the Great Dao Chat Group, Xu Yi decided to make things difficult for Ye Fan. Defeating Ye Fan, who has not yet cultivated, would make this mission stress-free and easy to complete.
Of course, in order not to bully Ye Fan, Xu Yi promised not to use the power of the Chaos Body, the power of the Double Pupils, or the power of the Supreme Bone, and to fight purely with his physical body!
Although Ye Fan said he would show mercy, he was actually eager to try and his fighting spirit was high.
Although he wasn't a trained athlete, he was naturally energetic and physically stronger than his peers. In particular, he had played on the school soccer team as a forward, earning him the nickname "Bulldozer," as he was unstoppable and could send people flying!
Under normal circumstances, he could easily take on three or four people of the same age by himself.
Moreover, in the years since graduation, I have also learned martial arts such as Sanda and Tai Chi to improve my physical fitness, making my physical condition even better.
He's probably not as good as most professionally trained special forces soldiers.
"Brother Yi, take this!"
Ye Fan suddenly took a step forward, and he lashed out with one leg with swift and powerful force, like an iron whip, at an extremely fast speed.
For an ordinary person, this kick might have sent them to the intensive care unit.
However, Ye Fan knew Xu Yi very well and knew that Xu Yi was quite skilled.
As expected, Xu Yi easily dodged the attack by simply shifting his weight to the side, and then casually threw a punch at Ye Fan. Ye Fan immediately used Tai Chi, using minimal force to deflect a powerful blow.
However, after touching Xu Yi's arm, Ye Fan found that he couldn't move Xu Yi at all. It was like hitting an iron wall. No matter how he tried to get some leverage, he couldn't get any.
Instead, Xu Yi leaned his shoulder against him and bumped into him, sending him flying.
Just as he was about to fall, Xu Yi caught him again and used Tai Chi techniques to spin him around like a windmill.
"??" Ye Fan.
Until Ye Fan steadied himself, his eyes looked at Xu Yi with complete unfamiliarity.
The moves and techniques just now are probably only seen in martial arts films, yet Brother Yi actually pulled them off.
"Again!"
Ye Fan was full of fighting spirit. He took a step forward and used the Sun-shaped Punch from Chinese martial arts to parry and strike at the same time.
He swung his arms rapidly, creating afterimages, but still couldn't touch Xu Yi.
轟…
In the end, in order to complete the mission, Xu Yi did not continue with anything else. He struck Ye Fan in the kidneys, and Ye Fan immediately showed a pained expression and lost his fighting ability.
"Brother, you really went too far! This is my kidney. If you don't think about me, you should at least think about A-Qiong." Ye Fan grimaced, cold sweat pouring down his face from the pain.
"Stop being so cheeky. I've already gone easy on you by not turning your kidneys into sieves," Xu Yi said.
"..." Ye Fan didn't dare to answer, since this was his boss and brother-in-law.
Afterwards, Ye Fan found a chair and lay down to rest.
At this moment, Xu Yi heard the voice of the Great Dao chat group.
"Ding! You have successfully completed the story mission, defeated Ye Fan, and earned 5,000 points."
*Ding! Special mission reward triggered! Obtain the Ancient Sacred Body Origin! (Note: Fusing with the Ancient Sacred Body Origin will grant you the Ancient Sacred Body!)*
"Besides the points, there's an unexpected bonus." Xu Yi looked surprised.
However, he was already a flawless chaotic body, so this ancient holy body was of no use to him.
However, in theory, even a flawless chaotic body can continue to improve its upper limit and can still enhance its foundation by refining other physiques.
