Chapter 1: May Heaven and Earth Bless Our Great Qin
On the deserted mountaintop, a figure stood facing the wind. Calamity clouds gathered in the sky, and purple lightning crackled in the clouds.
[Host, please think about it again. Don't be impulsive.] In the sea of consciousness, a round ball emitting soft white light jumped up and down excitedly.
Wei Shengxue was concentrating on counting the tools needed to aid her in overcoming the tribulation. She nonchalantly replied, "How can we know it won't work if we don't try? Besides, didn't you say you wouldn't die if you failed?"
System: ...Yes, I did say that.
In this world without supernatural powers, even if a thunder tribulation were to occur, its power would not be great.
It glanced guiltily at the red warning flashing in the background: [World channel offset, landing point error].
When he spoke again, his momentum weakened a bit: [If you really die in the thunder tribulation, I will take your soul and run away.]
"Thank you, 301."
Wei Shengxue's face became serious, and he tapped his toes lightly, and his body floated into the air.
No matter how many times, she would still be fascinated by this feeling. Her eyebrows curved, and she once again sighed at her decisiveness.
As people living in the interstellar age, since the massive amount of documentary materials unearthed from the archaeological excavations of our home planet decades ago, we have learned that our ancestors could actually summon the wind and rain, fly into the sky and hide underground.
The interstellar people who had lost this ability were very enthusiastic about it, and various literary creations exploded. By the time she was born, works about cultivating immortals were already flourishing everywhere.
So when she accidentally encountered System 301 and learned that she could travel to the real world of immortal cultivation, she almost couldn't wait to agree to bind it, and then she came here.
The system said that the world of cultivating immortals was very dangerous, and that with her level of cultivation, she could only be cannon fodder, so she had been living obediently in a primeval forest for twenty years, until she recently formed a pill, and then she ran out and chose the highest mountain top nearby to transcend the tribulation.
So, why did you have to come to the top of the mountain?
Wei Shengxue argued confidently: "Because it's cool! The big guys in the novels all survive on the top of the mountain, I want to do that too!"
system:【……】
During the conversation, the first thunderbolt had already struck.
…
Half a month passed in a flash, and the originally exquisite and fitting clothes were already tattered, and Wei Shengxue's body was covered with marks of lightning.
While the next thunderbolt was brewing, she hurriedly took out a pill from the space and swallowed it. Feeling the internal injuries in her body gradually being repaired, she slowly exhaled.
"I didn't expect this thunder tribulation to be so powerful. The last two, they're almost over."
Since she started to overcome the tribulation, the system has been much quieter. Seeing that she was slacking off, it quickly reminded her:
[The second to last one is the inner demon tribulation. You must quickly understand it, otherwise you will be seriously injured by the last tribulation thunder.]
Having said that, it has already called up the host protection mode in the system background, ready to rescue people at any time.
Everything you see and hear during the Heart Demon Tribulation is fake, fake, you must not be deceived.
"Don't worry, I always rank first in the psychology test every year in school. I have a strong will."
System: [The Heart Demon Tribulation tests your state of mind. Forget it, I won't bother you.]
Although Wei Shengxue was very talented, so talented that she could embark on the path of cultivation even in this world without supernatural powers, her temperament, which was raised in an ivory tower, was far from the requirements of the Golden Core Stage, which required her to be free from all worldly desires and to be harmonious and perfect.
The virtual cursor moves to the emergency protection button, ready to be pressed at any time.
----
In the 28th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign, Emperor Qin Shihuang led his ministers on an eastern tour and offered sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai.
As the auspicious day predicted by divination was approaching, abnormal lightning and thunder occurred near Mount Tai.
Because of this, the Confucian scholars began to mock passionately again, but on the auspicious day, the place became strangely calm. Except for a layer of dark clouds still hanging over the top of the mountain, the scenery from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain was sunny and windy.
Burning incense, offering sacrifices, presenting gifts...
After the whole process was completed, except for some dark clouds still hanging over the head, the ceremony was considered smooth, which made Ying Zheng, who had a tense face, breathe a sigh of relief.
The ceremony reached the most important step, the emperor's bow.
Ying Zheng's face was solemn, and he held three incense sticks in his hands. He slowly walked to the incense table filled with offerings. His tone was slightly raised, with the arrogance of his unparalleled achievements:
"I have inherited the legacy of my ancestors, quelled the rebellions of the six kingdoms, and achieved unprecedented feats. My virtues rival those of the Three Sovereigns, and my achievements surpass those of the Five Emperors. I am the First Emperor."
After saying this, he held the incense and bowed, saying with a nonchalant understatement: "Heaven and Earth, bless our Great Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city.
The expressions of the important ministers accompanying the emperor changed suddenly. The weather around him changed suddenly. This was not a good sign.
The Confucian scholar standing in the back row raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the emperor in front of him with sarcasm.
Not respecting the saints and wise men, not following the ancient rituals, and offending Mount Tai, this is the wrath of heaven!
There were different gazes coming from behind him, but Ying Zheng's eyes were gloomy, his expression remained unchanged, and he waved his sleeves and bowed again.
"Heaven and Earth, bless our Great Qin." The tone was flat but with a hint of the usual majesty.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing the flowers and plants to the ground, and even the branches seemed to be trying to break away from the trunk.
The wind came at such a perfect time that even the confidants in the first row couldn't help but look worried.
The Confucian scholars, who were already dissatisfied, clamored even more and mocked the emperor's wishful thinking.
"One bow and the heavens and earth change color. Another bow and a violent wind suddenly appears. Hahahaha tyrant! Even the heavens won't accept your worship!"
"You are tyrannical and arrogant! Heaven and earth will not tolerate you!"
Ying Zheng's face darkened slightly as he looked up at the sky. A strong wind blew through his heavy dress, lifting the hem of his dress which was adorned with the image of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.
Waving his hand to signal for the man to be dragged away, he raised his sleeves and bowed three times, but he no longer clasped his hands or bowed his head. His dark eyes stared straight at the sky, and his tone was the same as the command from above in the past:
"May Heaven and Earth bless our Great Qin."
In an instant, the air was filled with mist and heavy rain poured down.
"Oh."
Ying Zheng casually threw away the half-burnt incense in his hand, with a look of mockery and disdain.
Li Si took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Please leave..."
"Hahaha, this is a punishment from heaven! Tyrant! How dare a king like you, a tiger and a wolf, offer sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai!"
"The punishment bestowed upon you by Mount Tai is all your fault!"
The ministers were furious: "How outrageous!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Ben and other generals were so angry that they drew their swords and wanted to kill those who insulted His Majesty.
These Qi Confucians really deserve to die!
Seeing this, the Confucian scholars laughed even louder, and some even shouted:
"If there is a spirit in Heaven, then thunder will come down from the sky to rectify the law!"
Ying Zheng looked up at the dancing lightning in the clouds, his eyes dark.
——Is God really dissatisfied with me?
He scoffed, "If there really is divine punishment, I want to see how it will be delivered!"
Bang!
Rumble——!
A flash of white light appeared before their eyes, followed by a loud thunder in their ears, causing everyone to become blind and deaf for a moment.
----
The last two thunder tribulations took so long to brew that the medicinal effects spread throughout the body, and all the injuries on Wei Shengxue's body were almost healed.
"Hey, 301, look, there's someone down there."
She looked down curiously, and with her excellent eyesight as a half-step golden elixir cultivator, she could clearly see the thumb-sized figure.
"They seem to be," she searched her memory for relevant information, "offering sacrifices to the heavens?"
Finished!
Did she go to someone else's house to survive the calamity?
She was undergoing the tribulation and making such a big noise, but no cultivator came out to check on the situation. Is this an unowned land, or is the owner not at home, or is he too generous to care?
Wei Shengxue drooped his brows and reluctantly scraped through his meager supplies, calculating the items needed to apologize.
While she was thinking, the people on the top of the mountain had already quickly set up the arrangements for the sacrifice to the sky.
A man stepped out from the crowd, his black robe falling to the ground, holding three incense sticks in his hands, standing in front of the incense table.
"Such a strong aura, this aura is not worthy of the strength of a Spiritualization Stage or a Mahayana Stage?"
As she watched, the man was holding incense and worshiping.
With one bow, the sky and the earth changed color.
Wei Shengxue subconsciously erected the barrier, but when she looked up, she realized that the calamity clouds were not hers and had grown thicker.
Instead, dark clouds gathered at the top of the mountain.
Weishengxue: Quite interesting, let me take a look.
The man in black robe bowed again, and suddenly a strong wind arose, carrying sand and rocks into the air.
Weishengxue: How strange, let me take another look.
The man in black robe bowed three times, and suddenly a rainstorm came, like a downpour.
Wei Shengxue was stunned and kept shouting 666.
Every move he makes can cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, he must be a big shot!
[Quickly come back to your senses! The thunder tribulation is coming! ]
The next moment, the inner demon's thunder fell -
