Chapter 1164: Chapter 498: The Human Dao Emerges! Zhen Yuanzi and His Companion Are Astonished! (2)
Ying Zheng faced Queen Mother of the West’s questioning without a trace of anger, still maintaining a faint smile: "In the past, in the Mortal World, the existence of immortals was an unattainable presence for Qin. An immortal alone could destroy Qin, but now?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, his eyes filled with dominance: "Immortals are merely the lowest level of combat power in Qin."
"Today, Qin has countless strong individuals. Perhaps today, Qin is to Saints as it once faced immortals in the Mortal World, but Qin, why fear them?"
"If Saints dare to offend Qin, Qin is also fearless and will surely slay them."
Ying Zheng’s voice was cold, filled with fearless courage and fortitude.
Qin is fearless of everything.
Even Saints are not feared.
This is also unique to Qin within the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth.
In this Primordial world, forces are in awe of Saints, but Qin alone is not.
Even if they are not opponents, Qin will certainly fight to the death.
Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel a tremor in their hearts, sensing an unprecedented fortitude and fearlessness from Ying Zheng.
Saints!
Ying Zheng truly does not fear them.
"As the Qin Emperor just mentioned, there is no opportunity for sanctification under the Heavenly Dao."
"Could there be chances outside the Heavenly Dao?"
Zhen Yuanzi was sharp-minded and immediately picked up the key in Ying Zheng’s words, hurriedly asking.
At this moment, a spark of hope reignited in his eyes.
"Naturally, there is." Ying Zheng smiled mysteriously.
"Dare I ask where?" Zhen Yuanzi asked urgently, his body leaning slightly forward, eagerness written all over his face.
However.
Facing Zhen Yuanzi’s urgency.
Ying Zheng slowly shook his head: "This is Qin’s secret, only known to top ministers of Qin."
After a pause.
Ying Zheng’s expression was serious, his tone indisputable: "I can only tell you that in the future, every top minister of Qin will have the opportunity to prove and achieve the Primordial Realm."
"It is not the proving under the Heavenly Dao, the opportunities are limited, and everything depends on one’s own abilities."
After speaking, Ying Zheng glanced around, saying no more.
Regarding the existence of the Human Dao, Ying Zheng naturally would not easily disclose.
This is Qin’s true secret; the Heavenly Dao nurtures Saints, the Human Dao follows the path of all beings, and can also nurture Saints. This was the balance given to the three Dao after Pangu God opened the heavens in the past.
Yet, with Hong Jun’s emergence, the power of the Heavenly Dao suppressed the Earth Dao and Human Dao. Nowadays, most beings of the Primordial Heaven and Earth only know of the Heavenly Dao.
Zhen Yuanzi, seeing Ying Zheng’s attitude, did not ask further.
He pondered for a moment, gazing at Ying Zheng, and asked earnestly: "Dare I ask Qin Emperor, how can I trust you?"
Zhen Yuanzi’s gaze was cautious and hesitant.
"Whether Daoist believes or not is up to Daoist." Ying Zheng’s expression was calm, his tone serene: "I will not prove anything!"
"The future will become clear in the future."
Ying Zheng tilted his head slightly, his eyes reflecting confidence.
With Qin’s current strength, there is indeed no need to prove anything to others.
Qin has long passed the difficult initial phase of entering the Earth Immortal Realm, various crises have been resolved, and now Qin does not need to curry favor with any force in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.
They felt Ying Zheng’s assertiveness and realized that Qin truly had no urgent need for their allegiance, nor did Qin plan to offer substantial benefits to entice them.
It could even be said that Qin does not care whether they join or not.
This was vastly different from what they initially thought, and the huge disparity left them feeling somewhat disappointed.
They knew well that if they were in the Heavenly Court, the situation would definitely be different; if they expressed their wish to join the Heavenly Court, Hao Tian would be overjoyed and offer numerous resources.
But Qin, aside from that seemingly tempting chip of vying for Primordial Chaos, seems to offer nothing else.
"Qin Emperor."
After a long silence, Zhen Yuanzi finally spoke again: "Although you have not proven the chip of Primordial Chaos Dao, you have moved me."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, determination showing in his expression.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhen Yuanzi, revealing a faint smile on his face, not showing much surprise.
Since entering the Earth Immortal Realm, Ying Zheng was well aware of the Great Divine Ability Practitioners’ yearning for the Primordial Chaos Dao.
The Heavenly Court cannot provide it, nor can any force in the world, because this path was blocked by Heavenly Dao Hong Jun.
However, Qin exists outside of the Heavenly Dao, yet still holds the possibility of allowing many to achieve sainthood.
"Indeed, a decision has been made."
Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath, seemingly making a significant decision: "Wuzhuang Temple is willing to join Qin Court. Henceforth, obey Qin Court’s command."
"Billions of spirits in Wuzhuang Temple’s domain all respect Qin Court."
Zhen Yuanzi’s voice was resolute, his words pronounced with conviction.
For Zhen Yuanzi, this moment he clearly understood his choice; if not grasped, Wuzhuang Temple might truly face calamity in the future.
Qin Court’s aggression was too strong, and Zhao Feng’s presence also made Zhen Yuanzi uneasy.
After all, Ying Zheng’s confidence, aside from Qin Court’s Qi Fortune, crucially lies in Zhao Feng’s strength.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Queen Mother of the West: "And you, Daoist?"
His expression was calm, his tone peaceful.
"Years ago, I formed an alliance with Daoist Zhen Yuanzi to fight against the Heavenly Court."
"Now that Daoist Zhen Yuanzi has chosen, how could I not follow?" Queen Mother of the West said slowly, her tone without resentment, only calm, clearly determined to follow Zhen Yuanzi to the end.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief; he truly worried that Queen Mother of the West might refuse, which would make the future situation difficult to manage.
"Good." Seeing both agree, Ying Zheng smiled contentedly.
Subsequently, Ying Zheng’s expression gradually became solemn, his face exuding an air of undisputable authority.
"Since Qin’s founding, oral promises have never been trusted."
Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Today, both Daoists wish to join Qin; do you dare to swear the Human Dao Oath?"
"Similarly, I can swear the Human Dao Oath that in the future, the opportunity for Primordial Chaos will be given to both Daoists."
Ying Zheng’s voice echoed within the Grand Hall, full of majesty.
"Human Dao Oath?" Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West exchanged puzzled looks, eyes full of confusion.
Ying Zheng didn’t say much, but his countenance became solemn as he lifted his head towards the void and declared loudly: "Human Dao above! Today, I make the Human Dao Oath. Witnessed by Human Dao."
Just as Ying Zheng’s words fell.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the Heavenly Palace.
This pressure, vast and boundless, seemed to come from the depths of an endless abyss, like ancient and mysterious rules of a Dao appearing.
The pressure spread out, overshadowing all beings, making one feel insignificant and trivial.
Even Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West felt a sense of oppression.
"Heavenly Dao?" Zhen Yuanzi was shocked, his brows furrowing as he carefully felt this pressure: "No, it’s not the Heavenly Dao’s pressure. This is another set of Dao rules."
"But why does this pressure resemble the Heavenly Dao so closely?" Zhen Yuanzi was full of doubts, murmuring to himself.
When the will of the Human Dao appeared, Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West were completely stunned.
Everything they experienced today in Qin provided them with an abundance of shock and surprise.
"Both of you, if willing to truly join Qin, then swear in the name of the Human Dao."
Ying Zheng looked at them determinedly and said in a deep voice: "I only believe in oaths supervised by Human Dao rules."
Upon hearing Ying Zheng, Zhen Yuanzi wasted no time, solemnly stating: "Human Dao above, Zhen Yuanzi is willing to lead Wuzhuang Temple to join the Qin Heavenly Court. Witnessed by Human Dao."
Zhen Yuanzi’s voice was equally loud, resonating throughout the hall.
"Human Dao above, Queen Mother of the West is willing to lead the spirits of West Kunlun to join the Qin Heavenly Court. Witnessed by Human Dao."
Queen Mother of the West immediately spoke up, her voice crisp yet firm.
Although they both were unaware of the Human Dao’s nature, at this moment, having made their choice, perhaps there’s no turning back.
As they swore, Ying Zheng was forthright, immediately proclaiming loudly: "Human Dao above, I, Ying Zheng, swear by the Human Dao, that one day Qin possesses a Saint Position, the opportunity for vying for Primordial Chaos will be granted to Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West. Witnessed by Human Dao!"
