Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Ying Zheng waved his hand, dismissing everyone, including Zhao Gao, and then continued, "Under the dual pressure of destiny and bloodlust, I feel increasingly powerless, and I think my days are numbered."

Lin Zhu noticed the growing signs of decay in Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty has two places to go after you pass away."

Ying Zheng said, "I am all ears."

Lin Zhu repeated Houtu's original words, and then asked, "Where does Your Majesty wish to go?"

Without hesitation, Ying Zheng replied, "I am willing to go to the underworld."

In Huoyun Cave, it's just a mascot.

The human race's fortune is now very stable; having one more First Emperor won't make a difference, nor will losing one more First Emperor.

In the underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu holds great power; only a fool would have gone to the Fire Cloud Cave for Ying Zheng to do so.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lin Zhu had originally thought he would have to say something more, but now he didn't need to.

Ying Zheng nodded, having already decided how to seize power.

He planned to use a secret method to bring his main force down with him.

Therefore, the construction of the underground palace and the firing of the terracotta warriors were imperative.

"Since Your Majesty is willing to go to the Underworld to take up a post, then Lin Zhu will go and inform the Goddess Houtu, so as to avoid any misunderstandings with the three emperors."

"Very well, then I'll trouble you, envoy."

Ying Zheng was quite polite to Lin Zhu at this time.

Chapter 824 Ying Zheng's Plan

Upon leaving Xianyang, Lin Zhu immediately informed Houtu of Ying Zheng's decision.

Houtu also connected with Suiren, Fuxi, and Shennong.

The Three Sovereigns were pleased with Ying Zheng's appointment as the Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld, as the human race finally had someone of high status and power in the underworld.

The Emperor of Fengdu, in terms of status and power, is above Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the King of the Underworld.

As for Lin Zhu, she went to the Moon Palace.

At night, the moon is full and its light shines down upon the world.

Lin Zhu activated the Taiyin power within the jade pendant, connecting it to the Taiyin Star, and was instantly teleported to the vicinity of the laurel tree.

In an instant, the power of Taiyin entered his body.

He had to circulate all his magical power and vital energy to resist the invasion of the Yin energy.

Why is it so cold?

Even with his current physical and spiritual strength, he appears extremely fragile in the face of the immense Yin power within the Taiyin Star.

This was because he had the jade pendant protecting him.

If someone were an ordinary cultivator at the third level of the Laws, trespassing on the Taiyin Star would only result in being sealed by the power of Taiyin, their soul being scattered, and their body being decomposed into the power of Taiyin.

As the only Taiyin Star in the Pangu Realm, its power level is even above that of all the Dao Lords.

Its size is boundless.

The Heavenly Court is already very large, but the Moon Star is even larger than the Heavenly Court.

The reason why Yaoyue and her group could move freely on the Taiyin Star was because they had gained the Taiyin Star's approval.

Wang Shu was born on the Taiyin Star, and with its help, she broke through to the Dao Lord Realm without any major obstacles. This was an innate advantage.

The same applies to Xihe.

In such an environment, if one cannot adapt, then there is no point in talking about enlightenment.

Lin Zhu planned to use the power of Taiyin to temper his body first.

He looked at the laurel tree in the distance.

It was an incredibly huge, translucent white jade tree trunk, so large it seemed to have no end.

If it weren't for his ability to perceive the cycle of time and space, he truly wouldn't have been able to see the full picture of the laurel tree.

"You little brat, how rude of you to look at my body without even saying hello."

A cute, childlike voice rang in Lin Zhu's ears, but the tone was mature and old-fashioned, which was quite incongruous.

Lin Zhu was taken aback. "Are you Senior Laurel Tree?"

"Very clever, you even know me." The laurel tree also looked at Lin Zhu. "You're not from the Taiyin Star, was it that little brat Wang Shu who sent you to keep me company?"

Lin Zhu was dumbfounded; he had never heard of a laurel tree developing sentience!

"Um..." Lin Zhu said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's because I've practiced a supernatural power, and Lady Wangshu asked me to come and learn from your teachings, senior."

"Oh, what kind of supernatural power is this?" The laurel tree felt a little strange, and also a little curious.

Lin Zhu immediately released the Nine-Rank Creation Green Lotus from suppressing the Ren Water Peach, then made his body transparent, and the Ren Water Peach naturally appeared on his left waist.

As he demonstrated, he explained how he had developed his supernatural powers.

“I see. That is indeed a good fortune. Then I will lend you a hand.” The laurel tree said, a vitality enveloping the bamboo forest and shielding it from the power of the yin, and then said, “Come on.”

Without the power of Taiyin, Lin Zhu felt much more relaxed. "Thank you, senior. I apologize for my rudeness."

With green on the left and gold on the right, the eyes' vision is fully unleashed.

The entire laurel tree can be seen, its surface revealing its very essence.

In Lin Zhu's eyes, an infinitely large laurel tree transformed into a series of broad avenues between heaven and earth, much like copying an answer key; he only needed to copy it to his right kidney.

The next moment, the moon trembled twice.

Lin Zhu then heard the laurel tree chuckle and say, "No, this old woman feels a little uncomfortable. Wait for me for a while, and I'll think about how to help you."

Sensing Lin Zhu's gaze, the laurel tree felt as if it had been seen naked, and it was far from comfortable.

Lin Zhu also expressed her understanding, otherwise she wouldn't have said it was offensive before, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I will definitely keep my promise." The laurel tree said, and then began to think.

Because he was too focused, he forgot to shield Lin Zhu from the power of Taiyin.

Lin Zhu was happy to begin using the power of Taiyin to refine his body.

In the Moon Palace, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Guyue, and Chang'e all felt the tremors of the Moon Star, but none of them knew what was happening.

The fact that the laurel tree possesses a spirit is known only to Lin Zhu and Wang Shu in the entire Pangu Realm.

She was born with heaven and earth and looks quite old, but considering the lifespan of a top-grade innate spiritual root, now a supreme-grade innate spiritual root, she is just a little baby.

While Lin Zhu was refining his body on the Taiyin Star, Ying Zheng took action.

Construction of the underground palace begins.

To this end, he conscripted all the artisans, sculptors, craftsmen, and laborers within the Qin territory.

They were ordered to replicate an underground Xianyang Palace within ten years, along with hundreds of millions of terracotta warriors and various equipment.

The Qin Dynasty, such a massive state apparatus, was operating at full capacity at this moment.

Such a massive project not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also puts a strain on the finances.

Li Si, the prime minister, was very distressed during this period.

Not counting the cost of materials for the underground palace, the labor costs were an even greater expense.

Let alone the millions of craftsmen, even the laborers need to be paid.

Li Si wondered if the project's timeline could be extended, so he went to Zhangtai Palace to discuss it with Ying Zheng. "Your Majesty," he said, "building such a massive underground mausoleum within ten years will require funds that even the national treasury will find stretched thin."

Ying Zheng gave Li Si a cold look and said, "I will raise the necessary funds myself. You just need to do your job."

This wasn't the first time Li Si had seen Ying Zheng look at him like that, but he was still terrified.

He had originally wanted to ask why a mausoleum, no smaller than the city of Xianyang, was to be built in such a short time.

But now, he doesn't dare to ask.

Watching Li Si depart, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, his consciousness appearing above the Divine Dragon of Fortune, taking in the entire Nine Provinces of the Southern Continent.

The legacy of Qin Feng's six generations eventually led to the unification of the Southern Jambudvipa.

But prosperity inevitably leads to decline, and the remnants of the six former states were not completely eradicated.

At this time, the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty were relatively stable thanks to his suppression, but as soon as he died, it wouldn't be long before the whole world rebelled.

This was the inevitable course of events, and none of his many sons were able to turn the tide.

Even Fusu wouldn't do.

This son is too soft; he's not tough enough.

In that case, let the storm rage on.

He wants to build an underground Qin Dynasty.

As long as he is alive, the Qin Dynasty can exist forever in the underworld.

At the same time, isn't this also a kind of alternative immortality?

With the continuous expenditure of the Qin Dynasty's treasury, the Terracotta Army was the first to yield results.

Ying Zheng personally went to inspect it.

Each terracotta warrior is ten feet tall, extremely majestic and imposing, and lifelike.

The physical body is there; now all that's missing is the battle spirit.

Ying Zheng did not intend to have the Qin elite soldiers buried with him, so he began to travel on tours, accompanied by shamans, to various ancient battlefields, using the Qin dynasty's fortune to summon the war spirits on the battlefield.

Chapter 825 The Laurel Tree That Wants to Take Human Form

For hundreds of years during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there were major battles every year, and countless soldiers and generals died in battle.

With the destiny of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng could summon hundreds of millions of warriors on every battlefield, who, under the influence of the Qin Dynasty's fortune, would be infused into the already sculpted Terracotta Army.

In this way, the Terracotta Army can be said to have come to life.
