Chapter 141 My Charming Ancestor 15
"The Way of the Human Emperor?"
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat.
This name sounds a hundred times more domineering than ordinary immortal techniques!
The exclusive cultivation technique of the "Human Emperor's Path," titled "The Eternal Imperial Record," can be purchased in the points mall.
Price: 200,000 points.
Two hundred thousand?!
Zhou Jue's vision went black, and he almost cursed out loud on the spot.
This is robbery!
She worked tirelessly, killing zombies and gathering resources, to accumulate this meager fortune. And now the system wants to empty her pockets? No way!
She didn't want to feel like she was penniless overnight, with only a pittance left in her account!
[This cultivation technique is a top-tier technique within this plane, involving the power of national destiny and laws, and its price is reasonable. The host currently has sufficient points to purchase it.]
I'll go to hell with your abundance!
No, we have to think of another way.
"Brother Tongzi, scan this world and mark all items that contain energy and have special value. I want to see how much profit this world has."
[Scanning in progress...]
[Scan complete. This plane contains spiritual energy, albeit sparsely, but there are several spiritual eyes deep within the earth's veins, as well as several rare and precious materials scattered throughout the world's mountains and marshes. If all are collected, it is estimated that 300,000 points can be exchanged.]
300,000 points!
Zhou Jue's eyes lit up instantly.
That's enough! Not only can it buy the cultivation manual, but it can also make a small profit!
But the next second, looking at the dots of light scattered across the country and even overseas on the map, she calmed down.
Too slow! By the time she finishes picking them all, the daylilies will be cold!
Is there an easier way...?
Just as she was struggling with this decision, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
etc!
How could she forget about him!
Her consciousness instantly sank into the Starry Sky Box within her sea of consciousness.
"Senior, I'm in dire need of help!"
"What's wrong?" the old tree asked lazily.
"You are a man of great knowledge and experience, do you know of a cultivation method called 'Human Emperor's Path'?"
"The Way of the Human Emperor..." The old tree's voice seemed to carry a hint of reminiscence.
"Taking the nation as its foundation and the people as its core, gathering the faith of all people, condensing the dragon's energy of the state, and forging an immortal imperial map... such a method does indeed exist."
There's hope!
Zhou Jue was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Then... do you know it? Can this technique be passed on to others?"
"This cultivation method was not created by me, but was left by the ancient sages of the human race, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, for future rulers. It does not belong to anyone, but only to the true 'Emperor' chosen by the people of this land."
"If you want to spread it, then spread it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and profound flow of information surged from the trunk of the old tree and directly entered Zhou Jue's consciousness.
The Illustrated Record of Emperors for All Ages!
Each character seems to contain the weight of the nation and its people, and each breath seems to evoke the joys and sorrows of the masses.
Zhou Jue felt the cultivation technique in his mind and was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Saves you money!
I've saved 200,000 points!
Looking at the old tree now, she felt it was practically glowing! This wasn't just any old tree; it was clearly her personal grandfather, her mobile treasure trove!
"Thank you, senior!" After saying that, he poured a bucket of spiritual spring water on the old tree.
The old tree's branches and leaves stretched out joyfully: "Ah, that feels so good!"
Both the man and the tree were completely satisfied, and Zhou Jue's consciousness returned to reality.
She looked at the emperor before her, whose eyes burned with ever-increasing flames, and made a plan in her mind.
“Your Majesty,” she began slowly, her voice becoming calm and solemn once more.
“There is more than one path to immortality,” Zhou Jue said. “With Your Majesty’s talent, you have two paths to choose from.”
"Firstly, there is the ordinary path of immortality. Your Majesty possesses a top-grade golden spiritual root. You only need to follow the steps, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refine yourself. Your Majesty's achievements are only related to your own diligence, talent, and opportunities. This path is simpler and purer to follow."
Ying Zheng didn't speak, but listened quietly. He knew the important part was yet to come.
Zhou Jue took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely solemn.
"Secondly, it is called 'The Way of the Human Emperor'!"
"Once you embark on this path, Your Majesty, you will be completely bound to the entire Great Qin Dynasty and to the hundreds of millions of people on this land, with no separation whatsoever!"
"Your cultivation is no longer simply about drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but rather about relying on the destiny of the Great Qin Kingdom and uniting the faith of all people."
"When the nation is strong, the ruler is strong. When the people's hearts are with you, Your Majesty's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. If the world is well-governed, the people live in peace and prosperity, and everyone is grateful to you, then your power will surpass that of ordinary immortals, and the realm you reach will far exceed that of ordinary cultivators."
Zhou Jue continued, "However, everything comes at a price."
"If the country is in turmoil, the people are disaffected, and there is widespread resentment, then this resentment will also backfire on oneself. At best, one's cultivation will stagnate; at worst, one's foundation will collapse, leading to eternal damnation."
"Choosing this path means you will never be able to escape it. The rise and fall of this land, the joys and sorrows of its people, will be the heaviest burden on your shoulders, and also the most fundamental source of your strength."
"Your Majesty, which option would you like to choose?"
Inside the hall, there was a deathly silence.
One is to live a carefree and immortal life.
One is that the nation resonates with the earthquake.
Zhou Jue thought he would hesitate and weigh the pros and cons, after all, she had already told him that the people of this land had grievances due to the harsh laws, and the remnants of the six kingdoms also had their own agendas.
However, Ying Zheng's answer was much faster and more decisive than she had imagined.
"Oh……"
A soft laugh escaped from the emperor's throat, filled with boundless arrogance and madness.
“Immortal, you seem to have misunderstood something.”
He turned around abruptly: "I am the First Emperor of the Great Qin!"
"My empire, my people, their lives, honor, and disgrace are all in my hands! I and the Great Qin have long been one! How could we ever be separated?!"
"I want the Great Qin Dynasty to last forever! I want the Black Water Dragon Banner to fly throughout the four seas and eight wastelands! If it cannot protect my country and its people, what difference is there between immortality and a stubborn rock in the mountains or a rotten tree in the forest?!"
He walked step by step toward Zhou Jue, his gaze intense!
"I, the Emperor, choose the right person to rule!"
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at her ancestor, she finally understood why he could become the emperor who swept across the land and created an era, a figure of unparalleled power.
His ambition and his domineering nature have long been intertwined with this country.
“Okay.” Zhou Jue nodded and stepped forward.
"Does Your Majesty know why there was the saying of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times?"
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow.
"Because they are following the path of the human emperor."
Zhou Jue extended a finger and gently touched Ying Zheng's brow.
"Your Majesty, concentrate."
boom--!
A vast amount of information about cultivation techniques flooded into Ying Zheng's mind like a burst dam.
The Illustrated Record of Emperors for All Ages!
Ying Zheng's body trembled violently. He closed his eyes, sensing the profound magic that seemed to connect him to the very pulse of the entire world.
Mountains and rivers are his bones and muscles, rivers are his blood vessels, and the people are his vital energy!
I see! I see!
This is the true emperor! This is the true ruler of the world!
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.
The confusion, pain, and resentment in those deep eyes had vanished without a trace! In their place was an overflowing ambition and passion that almost materialized!
He walked toward the huge world map again, this time his gaze was no longer limited to the Qin Dynasty, but swept over the vast, unknown land.
Japan, the Western Regions, Southeast Asia...
A cold and confident smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
Died too young?
No.
Now, it's just right.
He has plenty of time to incorporate these places into the Qin Dynasty's territory one by one!
He turned to Zhou Jue and bowed deeply once again.
"Thank you, Immortal, for enlightening me and teaching me the Way! I will never forget this kindness!"
Looking at the emperor before him, who had rediscovered his ambition and was even more sharp than before, Zhou Jue was filled with emotion.
A Qin Shi Huang who could cultivate immortality and possessed a lifespan of at least two hundred years...
This world is about to change.
Suddenly remembering something, a meaningful smile played on her lips as she spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, now that you have the cultivation method and the time, the first step of the Human Emperor's Path is to eliminate the parasites of the nation and unite the hearts of all people."
"Those are the sources that will cause your Qin Dynasty to perish after only two generations, and leave the people filled with resentment..."
"Zhao Gao, Li Si, and... your good son, Hu Hai."
She took a step forward, her voice lowered.
"Whom do you intend to... start killing?"
