Chapter 1162: Chapter 497: Wuzhuang Temple, West Kunlun, Entering Qin! (Part 2)
The barrier resembled an invisible copper wall, exuding a powerful pressure that instilled fear.
"Conceal."
Guiguzi smiled, as a halo of light flowed from his fingertips and submerged into the barrier.
As the light flickered, the oppressive force of the Nine Provinces Barrier that had enveloped the entire sky gradually dissipated, and the Nine Tripod Cauldrons hidden in the void slowly vanished, leaving behind a space of emptiness.
Afterwards.
The group continued forward, and a grand and majestic Heavenly Palace gate appeared before them.
Imperial Guards Leader Ren Xiao held a long spear, guarding the Heavenly Gate.
A supreme martial aura emanated from his body, and simply standing there caused the surrounding air to freeze.
Guarding the Heavenly Gate with a Martial Arts Supreme indicated the high standard.
"Trouble Commander Ren to open the Heavenly Gate." Guiguzi stepped forward, his tone calm yet indisputably authoritative.
"Certainly!" Ren Xiao glanced at everyone and waved his hand without hesitation.
The Heavenly Gate slowly opened, and the light curtain gradually separated.
With Guiguzi present, he need not worry about any unexpected situations.
"The Qin Court Heavenly Palace, truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship, astonishing!"
Zhen Yuanzi stepped into the Heavenly Palace, his gaze swept around, and he couldn’t help but genuinely praise.
The architectural style of the Heavenly Palace was unique, its momentum grand. Though slightly inferior compared to the palaces of the Heaven Realm, this was constructed by Qin through its own efforts, not naturally formed by heaven and earth. To achieve such scale was already remarkable.
"Qin Court not only pioneered groundbreaking martial arts but also achieved astonishing depths in array technique."
Queen Mother of the West also scanned the surroundings, her eyes flashing with admiration. After surveying for a while, she continued, "To allow such a massive Heavenly Palace to float stably is not something an ordinary Array Master could achieve."
Under the guidance of Guiguzi, the group soon arrived at the Heavenly Palace Square.
All around the square were Imperial Guards, emitting a sense of sternness and authority.
"Zhen Yuanzi Great Immortal of Wuzhuang Temple, Queen Mother of the West Great Immortal of West Kunlun, request audience with Your Majesty!"
Guiguzi stood outside the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, his voice directly transmitted into the hall.
As soon as his words ended, Ying Zheng’s authoritative voice immediately came from inside the hall: "Enter!"
Just one word.
The void of heaven and earth surged, carrying a powerful emperor’s pressure that instinctively inspired awe, as if it contained infinite power that could dominate life and death of all things.
This, was Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.
Guiguzi turned his head, smiling slightly at Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West, gesturing them to proceed: "Two Daoists, please!"
With that said, he stepped aside to clear the path.
Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West exchanged a glance and stepped confidently into the main hall.
Inside the Heavenly Palace main hall.
Unlike the Mortal World.
The hall’s decoration was extremely luxurious, with carved beams and painted pillars, resplendent with gold and jade.
Ying Zheng sat upright on the throne of emperor’s seat, dressed in the Black Dragon Emperor Robe, his features imposing, his gaze deep, exuding an inherent majesty without anger, fully embodying the imperial demeanor.
Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West, Ying Zheng also smiled.
Moreover, his expression remained calm, not surprised.
Because.
As soon as Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West entered Qin, Ying Zheng already knew.
Firstly, because of the existence of the Nine Provinces Barrier.
Secondly, naturally due to the existence of the Tian Xuan Mirror.
With these two divine artifacts, once within the territory of Qin, almost nothing could escape Ying Zheng’s attention.
The Qi Fortune Path of Human Dao was indeed powerful.
"Compared to the battle against Qin by the Heavenly Court in the past."
"Now the strength of the Qin Emperor is even greater, seemingly forming an entire world on its own."
"Unable to discern the reality."
"No, perhaps he has completely merged with the Qi Fortune of Qin Court; he is Qin Court, and Qin Court is him."
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Ying Zheng, his heart suddenly startled.
With his strength, he unexpectedly couldn’t see through Ying Zheng’s depth.
No fluctuation of mana emanated from Ying Zheng, nor any feel of rule aura; at first glance, he seemed like an ordinary mortal.
But upon closer inspection, one could feel an indescribable majesty from him, as if he was the sovereign of heaven and earth, controlling the life and death of all things, exuding an almost suffocating pressure with every move.
"Greetings Qin Emperor!" Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West simultaneously saluted, showing their respect for Ying Zheng.
"Both Great Immortals may dispense with ceremony."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, his smile carrying a touch of friendliness.
Then with a wave of his hand, two chairs appeared out of nowhere behind them.
"Please sit." Ying Zheng’s voice was gentle yet conveyed a confidence and composure of a superior, irresistibly inviting.
"Thank you Qin Emperor."
After thanking, Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West sat down openly.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng went straight to the point, asking, "Both of you are distinguished, being Primordial Innate Gods, with strength supreme."
"Coming to Qin this time, there is surely business to discuss?"
Saying this.
Ying Zheng’s gaze was fixed tightly on the two, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.
"Qin Emperor, we came today with only one matter."
Zhen Yuanzi didn’t beat around the bush, directly addressing the main point, with a solemn expression, looked firmly at Ying Zheng: "Does the future of Qin Court intend to replace the Heavenly Court and rule the world?"
"Naturally!" Ying Zheng provided an affirmative answer without hesitation.
His words contained unrestrained ambition and dominance.
"The current Heavenly Court is merely occupying its position, no longer fit to rule the world and establish rules for all beings."
"Their actions have deviated from the path of all beings, failing the expectations of the masses."
"Qin must follow the will of the masses and take their place."
"Eastern Continent is merely the first step for Qin."
Ying Zheng’s words echoed, revealing no cover of his ambition to rule the universe.
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, not surprised by Ying Zheng’s answer.
After pondering for a moment.
Zhen Yuanzi continued asking: "If in the future Qin Court launches an army against Nan Zhanbu Continent, how does it plan to handle the cultivators there?"
Upon asking this.
He slightly squinted, with a concern glimmer in his eyes, closely watching Ying Zheng’s reaction.
In response to this question.
Ying Zheng showed no hesitation.
"Anyone with blood debts of our Human Race, practicing with Spiritual Charm, feasting on flesh and blood, regardless of strength, will be killed."
"Anyone obstructing Qin’s battalions will be exterminated."
"Those who comply with me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish."
Right now.
Even though Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West were right in front, and they were the Great Divine Ability Practitioners of Nan Zhanbu Continent, holding power, Ying Zheng did not intentionally recruit anything, revealing the supreme majesty and spirit of the Qin Heavenly Emperor.
The path of Qin.
Will not change.
Even with two Great Divine Ability Practitioners in front, it’s no exception.
No matter what.
The future of heaven and earth.
Qin is bound to have full control; within the territory of Qin, no uncontrolled forces can exist.
No matter how transcendent the position, how strong the power, it must fall under the control of Qin Court.
This is the path of Qin.
More aggressive than Heavenly Court, yet more fair and strict.
After all, the path of the Heavenly Court follows the Heavenly Dao, acting in accordance with heaven, ruling over beings.
While the path of Qin follows the Human Dao, the Human Dao is the path of all beings, and the future of Qin will uphold the will of the masses.
The original Dao of heaven and earth, the path of ruling the world, must be the Human Dao.
It was only suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, Hong Jun.
And upon hearing Ying Zheng’s answer.
Zhen Yuanzi’s facial expression remained unchanged.
"If in the future Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun obstruct Qin Court’s army, will they meet the fate of annihilation?"
Zhen Yuanzi asked once more.
Ying Zheng smiled, gazing at Zhen Yuanzi: "Daoist, what do you think?"
"It means."
"Any force, any creature in Nan Zhanbu Continent has no choice."
"Once facing Qin Court, except submission, there is annihilation."
Zhen Yuanzi spoke softly, as if carrying a thousand thoughts.
"The Dao of heaven and earth is inherently so."
"Since the primordial times, hasn’t each Calamity been the reshuffling of power within heaven and earth?"
"This Westward Journey Tribulation, Qin naturally seizes this great tribulation."
"Four Great Continents, Four Seas, Heaven Realm."
"Those who comply with me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish."
"No one can stop the footsteps of Qin." Ying Zheng said solemnly, reflecting authority.
