From this moment on, it can be clearly seen that everyone in the Qin Dynasty, whether civil officials or military generals, is yearning for war.
They dreamed of the Great Qin unifying the world and creating a prosperous era in which the world would truly belong to Qin.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty truly controlled the world.
"My Lords, let us fight."
"I, don't I also want the Great Qin to unify the entire ancient world as soon as possible?" Zhao Feng raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile. He spoke bluntly with no concealment of his ambition.
"The brave warriors of Great Qin are willing to fight for Great Qin at any time." Wang Jian looked excited and shouted loudly.
For the Qin army, Wang Jian was their representative.
What Wang Jian said was exactly the common voice in the hearts of the Qin warriors.
"Mobilize the four camps of Lantian, Jiuli, Hangu, and Wu'an, and make sure they march to the strategic pass where the two continents meet within ten days."
"Xuanzang will arrive at Xiongguan on the tenth day."
"And on that day, my Great Qin army will break through the pass of heaven." Zhao Feng gave his order to Wang Jian with unquestionable majesty without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Wang Jian immediately bowed, saluted, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."
In response, Wang Jian's tone was full of excitement and his emotions were extremely high.
After waiting for so many years, the Qin Dynasty is finally marching westward.
"Xiangbang."
"Now, I guess there is no need to mobilize any more resources, right?" Zhao Feng smiled, looked at Lu Buwei and asked.
"Today, our Great Qin is no longer the ordinary country it once was."
"Every soldier of the Qin Dynasty has already fasted, so they don't need any food or grass supplies at all."
"As for the weapons and baggage, the soldiers can store and use the Tianxuan mirrors they carry with them."
"Daqin has undergone a transformation and is no longer what it used to be."
"As the prime minister, I no longer have to shoulder the responsibility of mobilizing grain and fodder. I feel deeply ashamed." Lu Buwei was filled with emotion, his tone full of pride in the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty.
The development of the Qin Dynasty to such a powerful state can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
As an important figure who witnessed the gradual rise of the Qin Dynasty, how could Lu Buwei not be extremely excited?
"For many years, the Prime Minister has assisted my father in governing the territory of the Qin Empire, coordinating various government affairs, and consolidating the foundation of the Qin Empire."
"The contributions you have made cannot be erased."
"The heaven and earth are extremely vast, and the four continents are vast. Even outside of the heaven and earth, there are still worlds of heavens."
"Prime Minister, do not feel that you have nothing to do. In the future, the tasks waiting for the civil and military officials of our Great Qin will be extremely arduous."
"I will join hands with my father and other ministers to make the Qin Dynasty stand at the top of the world." Zhao Feng raised his arm, glanced at all the civil and military officials in the court with expectation, and said solemnly.
"Swear allegiance to the Qin Dynasty until death."
In an instant, all the civil and military officials in the court bowed in unison and shouted loudly.
"In that case."
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Get moving."
"Da Qin has been silent for many years, it's time to take action."
"Otherwise, they will all think that our Great Qin has lost its former ambitions." Zhao Feng sneered, his voice low but resolute, and said in a deep voice.
"I will follow your Highness' orders."
All the civil and military officials in the court responded in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the court officials withdrew from the Heavenly Palace in an orderly manner in accordance with the order.
This decision will surely bring about a tremendous change that will be earth-shaking and far-reaching throughout the world.
When the Qin Empire moves, heaven and earth are shaken.
It must be such a scene.
"Feng'er."
"What do you think the Heavenly Court and Buddhism will do when they see the Great Qin mobilizing its troops?" After all the court officials had left, Ying Zheng asked with a smile on his face.
“They will certainly not sit idly by.”
"Under this great calamity, the opponents that our Great Qin is launching this time are definitely not just the Heaven and Buddhism." Zhao Feng said calmly with an indifferent expression.
The impact of the catastrophe was like a surging wave, sweeping across the entire world, and no place could stay out of it.
"I am looking forward to the actions of Buddhism and Heaven."
"It would be best if they also took up arms. Using the killing in the catastrophe to promote the reshaping of the future world." Ying Zheng sneered, his words revealing a strong expectation.
The strength of the Qin Dynasty today is no longer the same as it was five hundred years ago, and has achieved a qualitative leap.
With the continuous blessing of the powerful force of destiny, there is no doubt that Daqin will undergo a transformation every once in a while and its strength will steadily increase.
Today, the number of quasi-saints in Daqin has exceeded thirty, and the number of Daluo Jinxian is too numerous to count.
Today's Great Qin has already possessed the strong power to confront the Heavenly Court head-on and destroy it in one fell swoop.
At the junction of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhanbuzhou, a towering and huge pass stands tall.
This majestic pass towers into the clouds, like an insurmountable natural barrier, completely cutting off almost all connections between the two continents.
However! Where there are people, there are bound to be disputes and transactions, even in this seemingly isolated pass.
Although there is a strong pass here, the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the pass found an opportunity to make money.
In order to maintain the connection between the two continents, many monks had to pay an extremely high price in exchange for permission to pass through.
Almost everyone who wants to pass the level has to pay a huge amount of spirit stones to the heavenly soldiers and generals.
As things have gone on, this magnificent pass has now become a tool for the heavenly soldiers guarding the pass to make money.
After five or six hundred years of garrisoning, the initial concerns that the Qin Dynasty might suddenly launch an attack had long since disappeared without a trace.
They seemed certain that the Qin Empire would not take action without reason and disrupt the current delicate balance.
But today, everything is completely different.
The place where the two continents meet, where the Heavenly Fortress is located, instantly became the focus of secret attention of many powerful people in the world.
Even in the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven, the Jade Emperor personally opened the Haotian Mirror and was watching every move here intently.
Many immortals and gods also used the Haotian Mirror to keep a close eye on the border between the two continents.
In the picture reflected by the Haotian Mirror, Xuanzang was seen wearing a golden cassock, holding a Zen staff firmly in his hand, and walking towards the pass steadily, step by step.
In front of the majestic and huge pass, Xuanzang's figure seemed particularly small, like a drop in the ocean.
However! Although the pass was magnificent, Xuanzang exuded a fearless aura, which was the courage to be the first in the world.
Although he was alone, he moved forward slowly but firmly. But on the Qin side, countless cultivators and common people stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch.
No one dared to step forward and stop Xuanzang from moving forward.
Even at the important pass, which was closely guarded by heavenly soldiers and generals, a passage large enough for Xuanzang to pass through was specially opened at this moment.
"Once the monk Qin crosses the pass, the great catastrophe will truly begin."
"The entire world will also enter a new era of catastrophe."
"I just don't know who will be the final winner of this catastrophe?"
"In the past, under the guidance of Heaven, Buddhism flourished in the world."
"But with the disappearance of the saint, everything has changed. This catastrophe is the catastrophe of the Journey to the West. Is it that the final victory is completely destined to belong to Buddhism?"
At this moment, above the Lingxiao Palace, many immortals and gods were staring at Xuanzang walking alone in the picture, and couldn't help but speculate secretly.
For them, although they are currently above the sky and seem to be outside the catastrophe, how the situation will develop in the future is still unknown.
Today, the Southern Continent has gradually been shrouded in calamity, and its future direction is like being shrouded in fog, full of unknowns and variables.
In the Great Leiyin Temple, although there is no powerful ability to spy on the world like the Haotian Mirror in Heaven, there is a Xuanguan Mirror in the main hall.
The mirror also reflects the image of Xuanzang. Obviously, this was condensed by Duobao Tathagata using his great supernatural powers.
The great catastrophe began and Xuanzang truly embarked on the journey to the West. Naturally, the Buddhist community attached great importance to this.
"Golden cicada."
"I hope you won't let me down in this life." Duobao Tathagata stared at Xuanzang in the picture of the Xuanguan mirror, thinking secretly in his heart.
In fact, I am a little worried.
Turning his eyes back, Xuanzang approached the pass steadily step by step.
On top of the pass, many heavenly soldiers and generals were looking down from above, also closely watching his every move.
But no one dared to stop Xuanzang.
Anyone who dares to stop it will be seeking his own death.
"Heavenly Pass."
"Once I pass through, killing will follow." Xuanzang looked at the pass in front of him and had already foreseen its future fate.
Buddhism has always upheld the doctrine of compassion, and this is especially true of the Great Qin Buddhism.
However, Xuanzang did not feel too much concern about the heavenly soldiers and generals who were guarding the pass and were about to face destruction.
After all, war and killing are cruel and merciless, resulting in countless deaths.
Possessing Jin Chanzi's memories of his previous life, Xuanzang knew very well how many lives had disappeared in this world since its creation.
If the unification of heaven and earth could be achieved, it would be of immense significance to all living beings in the entire prehistoric world.
Under the close watch of countless eyes, Xuanzang resolutely passed through the gate specially opened by the pass and set foot on the land of Jambu Continent for the first time as a Qin monk.
The moment he stepped into this continent.
Boom, boom, boom! Across the heaven and earth, the calamity energy of the Southern Continent instantly climbed to an unprecedented peak.
Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is mixed with extremely strong aura of calamity.
As long as one stays in Jambu Continent and absorbs the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in this continent to practice, one will inevitably be eroded by the calamity energy, and eventually lose self-awareness, fall into the great calamity, and be unable to control oneself.
"The calamity energy has reached an unprecedented peak in the Southern Continent."
At this moment, many powerful people who had entered the realm of quasi-saints clearly felt the drastic changes in the calamity energy in the Southern Continent.
Being outside the continent, I can still stay awake and lucid.
However, countless living beings and numerous cultivators on the continent were being madly eroded by the calamity energy at this moment.
"Qin monk Xuanzang, I heard that if you eat a piece of his flesh and blood, you can achieve immortality and greatly improve your cultivation."
"If you can eat him whole, you can instantly achieve the realm of Quasi-Saint."
"Whoever can eat him can instantly become the most powerful person in the world."
"Qin Monk, I must get him..."
As the calamity energy in Jambudvīpa reached an unimaginable peak of terror, not only the eighty-one difficulties pre-set by Buddhism and Heaven, but the entire Jambudvīpa became completely agitated as if it were a lit powder keg.
As the most chaotic and largest continent among the four continents, one can imagine how intense this catastrophe will be.
Perhaps, at the moment when this catastrophe began, everything had deviated from the original trajectory of the Journey to the West.
Inside the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun looked calm as he silently watched the various changes taking place between heaven and earth.
"The calamity energy of the Southern Continent has reached its peak."
"Hongjun, is this your purpose?"
"Use the calamity energy to attract countless creatures to attack Monk Qin. The more creatures die, the stronger the power of heaven will be replenished, and you will be able to recover your strength."
"If it were in the past, I might not have been able to stop it. But now, your Heavenly Dao is no longer the only one in this world. The Earthly Dao and the Human Dao have already appeared one after another."
"Although you can grow stronger by consuming the lives of the world, the earth and humanity can also increase their power through expansion."
"You are destined to miscalculate." Taishang Laojun had a calm expression and deep eyes, and murmured secretly in his heart.
Under his gaze, from the direction of Daqin, there are six places where the Tianting Pass is located and connected to the territory of Daqin. One is the place where Qin Xuanzang passed through, and the other five are distributed along the Tianting Pass.
Above the void, countless Qin troops have quietly gathered, densely filling the void sky.
This time, only four camps were dispatched, with a total force of only two million elite soldiers.
But the Qin warriors of today are no longer the ordinary soldiers of five hundred years ago. They have gone through countless hardships and their strength is no longer the same as before.
Moreover, when the four camps were dispatched, the generals had not yet arrived, and it was their condensed incarnations that went into battle.
And this also shows one thing.
The generals of these four camps have successfully broken through the shackles and reached the realm of martial arts emperors.
Under the rules of heaven, quasi-saints are not allowed to enter the world.
Once you enter the world, divine punishment will come.
Within the territory of the Great Qin, perhaps there is no need to abide by such rules. After all, the Great Qin has the Nine Provinces Barrier. As long as one hides one's own aura well, the punishment of heaven will not fall on the officials of the Great Qin. But once one leaves the territory of the Great Qin and leaves the place protected by the Nine Provinces Barrier, one will naturally be subject to the control of heaven.
The expansion of the Qin Dynasty seems to be a fight with the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and many other forces for territory, but in fact it is a fight with the Way of Heaven.
This is the pass that Xuanzang just passed.
Wow! Wow! Waves of terrifying murderous aura suddenly condensed in the void where Daqin was, and endless blood clouds appeared above the entire sky.
