Over a decade, Ying Zheng collected billions of battle souls, with a particular focus on finding the heroic souls of three famous generals from the Warring States period.
Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu.
Not long ago, Wang Jian also passed away.
Among them, Bai Qi and Wang Jian were already famous generals of the Qin Dynasty, and Ying Zheng didn't have to use much persuasion to win them over.
Lian Po and Li Mu, both famous generals of the Zhao state, were somewhat difficult to deal with, but under the generous conditions promised by Ying Zheng, they were willing to serve the Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld.
To this end, Ying Zheng cast twelve bronze figures based on the Terracotta Army.
Four of the four great generals of the Warring States period are represented here.
Unfortunately, Sun Wu, Sun Bin, and others had already entered the Fire Cloud Cave and failed to form heroic spirits; otherwise, Ying Zheng would have wanted to take them in as well.
After thinking for a moment, he also reserved places for Sima Cuo, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben.
That makes eight.
We have enough military commanders.
The civil official Li Si got a position, followed by Shang Yang, Lü Buwei, and Zhang Yi.
As for Zhang Han, Wang Li, Li You, and others, they will all go to the underworld sooner or later, and since they can all be used by him anyway, there is no need to waste any more effort.
As Ying Zheng collected more and more battle spirits, he felt his already weak body becoming increasingly heavy.
With each fluctuation in the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty, his body weakened further.
He had a feeling that he wouldn't live past fifty, which was only a matter of the next couple of years.
But he could never have imagined that his sons would follow in his footsteps, so no place was prepared for them in the tomb.
Ten years later, the underground Xianyang project was completed.
During this period, countless laborers, craftsmen, mechanics, and array masters died.
Even the shamans died hundreds of times, all killed by the impact of the battle spirits.
Ying Zheng also sensed that his death was imminent. On his way back from collecting battle spirits, his physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and he lost his life.
The edict he left behind before his death was also altered by Zhao Gao. Li Si, half-heartedly, conspired with Zhao Gao to put Huhai on the throne.
After Ying Zheng's death, the underground palace began to shake, affecting the city of Xianyang.
Zhao Gao and Li Si felt as if millions of soldiers were about to burst forth from the ground and tear them to pieces.
Fear gripped him, so he hastily sent Ying Zheng's body to the underground palace for a grand funeral.
At the moment of burial, the underground palace was completely sealed, and the earth closed up, as if the underground palace had never existed.
After Ying Zheng was buried, the fortune of the Qin Dynasty instantly decreased by 70%, and the separated fortune disappeared into the ground and entered Ying Zheng's body.
At this time, Fusu had committed suicide, and Meng Tian had also died.
Ying Zheng was furious, but powerless to change the situation, he could only take Fusu and Meng Tian to the underworld.
Seventy percent of the Qin Dynasty's fortune became a consumable resource, appearing in the underworld along with the Qin Dynasty's underground palace.
In an instant, parts of the Terracotta Army and the Twelve Golden Men came to life.
"Greetings, Emperor Fengdu."
From deep underground, a Buddha's light appeared, revealing the figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. "This humble monk greets Your Majesty."
After Ying Zheng returned to the throne, the Underworld Emperor's Robe was automatically bestowed upon him, and he obtained the Fengdu Ghost Seal, both of which were top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
He learned of his responsibilities and also gained more knowledge of the secrets of the Pangu Realm.
Of course, they also instantly learned a great deal about the people and affairs of the underworld.
He naturally recognized Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"No need for formalities, Bodhisattva."
The countless incarnations of Yama also sent representatives to congratulate the Emperor of Fengdu on his return to power.
At this point, the establishment of the underworld was largely complete.
After Ying Zheng returned to the throne, he quickly began to fulfill his duties, not only expanding the territory but also sending troops to eliminate the ghost kings and ghost emperors who occupied the mountains in the underworld.
Originally, with the blessing of the Qin Dynasty's fortune, Ying Zheng already possessed the cultivation level of the Hunyuan Realm.
After becoming the Emperor of Fengdu and obtaining the Heavenly Fruit, he reached the peak of the Hunyuan Realm, instantly becoming a super big shot in the Pangu Realm.
Even Lin Zhu would be envious of such a rapid promotion.
The Heavenly Court, the Imperial Horse Stables.
Sun Wukong had just returned from herding horses in the Milky Way when he ran into Marshal Tianpeng.
The two exchanged a brief blow.
As a disciple of Laozi, Tianpeng naturally knew Sun Wukong's current role.
Although he possessed the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he still pretended to be no match for Sun Wukong and submitted.
Sun Wukong returned happily from the Milky Way, only to run into Wuqu Xingjun, who came to retrieve his horse.
What happened next is self-evident.
Upon learning that he was merely a minor official in charge of tending horses, Sun Wukong could not bear it any longer and charged out of the South Heavenly Gate with his golden cudgel in hand.
Lin Zhu has been cultivating on the Taiyin Star for nearly ten years.
During these ten years, he continuously refined the power of Taiyin, which enhanced his immunity to Taiyin power to the extreme, and at the same time greatly improved his physical strength and enhanced his power.
His magical power has become much purer.
His cultivation level, which had dropped due to the birth of a peach, has also increased, returning him to the eighth level of the Law Realm.
Meanwhile, after ten years of contemplation, the laurel tree also came up with a solution.
She woke Lin Zhu and spoke to him telepathically, saying, "Little one, I see that you have the power of creation in your left eye. Why don't you help me manifest a part of it? Then you can study my true form as you wish."
"Senior can transform into human form?" Lin Zhu asked in surprise.
The laurel tree said, "It was impossible before, but after meeting you, I sensed a glimmer of hope. After ten years of contemplation, I can take human form, but I need your help."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhu asked, "I wonder what this junior should do?"
"No rush, we still need to wait for little Wangshu to come back, otherwise you alone won't have enough strength."
The laurel tree sounded somewhat excited.
She can finally transform into human form!
It's not easy.
"Alright." Since I still have time, there's no rush, so I'll continue my cultivation.
"You little brat, why are you just like that little brat Wang Shu, always cultivating and never bothering to talk to this old woman? Oh, by the way, there's a little monkey down there fighting with the Heavenly Court, don't you want to take a look?"
Lin Zhu was stunned for a moment. After some calculation, he realized that another ten years had passed. It was truly true that time had no effect in cultivation.
He turned his gaze toward Huaguo Mountain.
At this time of day, the moon is hidden, but it is still in the sky.
Heavy clouds rolled above Flower Fruit Mountain, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded it.
Sun Wukong had already raised the banner of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and his golden cudgel pointed towards the sky.
Lin Zhu has keen eyesight, but not very strong hearing, so he can't hear the conversation.
But judging from Sun Wukong's lip movements, he was speaking filthy language towards the heavenly soldiers and generals.
The insults they hurled were as harsh as they could possibly be.
"Damn monkey!" The Giant Spirit God was the first to lose his temper and volunteered, "King Li, let me chop this rascal to death with one axe."
Li Jing said solemnly, "Go and defeat that mischievous monkey. I, the Heavenly King, will recommend you for credit."
Chapter 826 Nezha: I'll launch a sneak attack! Sun Wukong: I'll counter-sneak attack!
"This humble general thanks the Heavenly King." The Giant Spirit God, carrying the Xuanhua Axe, descended from the clouds with his enormous body.
Watching his departing figure, Nezha, with his Fire-Tipped Spear on his shoulder, picked his nose and said, "The Giant Spirit God will lose; that monkey is no simpleton."
Li Jing patted Nezha's head. "If he can't handle it, then you go. Keep a close eye on him, so you don't end up in a mess."
"Don't touch my head." Nezha dodged, his mouth twisted in displeasure.
As Huaguo Mountain descended low into the sky, before the Giant Spirit God had fully descended, Sun Wukong went to meet him, saying, "State your name, for I, Old Sun, do not strike nameless nobodies with my Golden Cudgel."
The giant stopped its descent, looking arrogant and haughty. "You impudent monkey, listen up! I am the Giant God, and today I will take your life."
"Very well, let's see who takes whose life." Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel and started to strike.
The golden cudgel instantly grew longer and larger, and with a single swing, even space itself seemed to collapse.
The giant spirit blocked with his Xuanhua axe.
I thought I could block the blow with my own strength, but my legs went weak as soon as I made contact.
The sound of the golden cudgel striking the Xuanhua axe made the ears of every living being on Flower Fruit Mountain ring.
The giant spirit god's eyes were bloodshot, and his veins were bulging all over his body as he tried to push Sun Wukong's golden cudgel away.
Unfortunately, it's impossible.
Sun Wukong said casually, "I thought someone this big was really powerful, but it turns out he's just a silver spear with a wax head."
Having said that, the golden cudgel continued to press down, then suddenly released its pressure.
The giant spirit was caught off guard and staggered forward.
Sun Wukong kicked the giant spirit god in the belly, and golden light dissipated.
The giant spirit god transformed into a ball and flew to the Heavenly Court camp like a shooting star.
Sun Wukong shouted, "Can you give me something more powerful? My hands are itching to fight!"
In mid-air, the Giant Spirit God felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and his whole body went numb. He lost his grip on the Xuanhua Axe and it fell to the ground, rolling dozens of times in the clouds before being helped up by the heavenly soldiers beside him.
Then, weakly, he said, "Your Majesty, this humble general is incompetent."
