Ever since King Zhaoxiang of Qin received the report from the commander of the Black Ice Guard that an amazing miracle had occurred in Zhongnan Mountain, he began to dream that he was a chosen one like the Yellow Emperor.
On his journey from Xianyang to Zhongnan Mountain, he kept imagining himself meeting the gods on Zhongnan Mountain, and with their support, unifying the world and even achieving immortality.
At this moment, arriving at the foot of Mount Taibai, we witness an incredibly awe-inspiring scene of divine wonder at the summit.
Ying Ji's already excited mood became even more agitated.
He wished he could fly straight to the top of Mount Taibai!
Unfortunately, King Ying Ji of Qin was weak and far from the Celestial Realm, so he couldn't fly at all!
With excitement, Ying Ji stepped down from the carriage and boarded a palanquin carried by the palace's elite guards, heading towards the summit of Mount Taibai.
...
The imperial guards are all highly skilled warriors.
Despite carrying Ying Ji, a heavy burden, they still moved swiftly and quickly along the mountain path of Taibai Peak.
Not long after.
Driven by the elite guards of the imperial palace, Ying Ji's magnificent palanquin arrived near the divine light barrier at the summit of Mount Taibai.
When Ying Ji arrived in his palanquin.
The palace attendant beside him shouted loudly to the group of extraordinary cultivators from Zhongnan Mountain gathered before the divine light barrier:
"His Majesty has arrived..."
Zhongnan Mountain was, after all, Qin territory.
Although the extraordinary individuals on Zhongnan Mountain live in seclusion there, they are still nominally under the jurisdiction of Ying Ji.
Hearing the shouts of the palace attendants and seeing the grand arrival of King Ying Ji of Qin.
One by one, these extraordinary individuals bowed symbolically to Ying Ji.
"Greetings, King of Qin..."
...
In mid-air, Donghuang Taiyi, who served as the Grand Preceptor of the Qin State, saw King Ying Ji of Qin arriving in a palanquin, and a hint of contempt appeared deep in his eyes.
He held Ying Ji in utter contempt, for someone who needed to be carried even to climb Mount Taibai.
Of course, as the Grand Preceptor of Qin, Donghuang Taiyi, who cooperated with Qin, would not openly express his disdain.
He descended from the sky, approached Ying Ji, and symbolically bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, you have arrived."
Not far away.
The Taoist Heavenly Sect leader, Bei Mingzi, and the Taoist Human Sect leader, Xiaoyaozi, both showed a hint of disgust in their eyes when they saw King Ying Ji of Qin arrive.
However, the reasons for their aversion are different.
Bei Mingzi disliked Ying Ji because he practiced the path of detachment from worldly affairs and did not like a worldly ruler.
In particular, since he has not yet truly transcended worldly concerns, he cannot disregard Ying Ji and still needs to bow to him.
This made Bei Mingzi hate Ying Ji's arrival even more.
As for Xiaoyaozi, he cultivated the way of worldly affairs, and his dislike for Ying Ji stemmed from the fact that, in Xiaoyaozi's view, the Qin state under Ying Ji's leadership was simply a ruthless war machine.
He not only despised Ying Ji, but also the entire Qin state's high-ranking officials!
...
However, although Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi did not like Ying Ji.
However, their sect was ultimately located on Qin territory, and very close to the Qin capital, Xianyang.
They cannot afford to offend the powerful Qin court now.
So, although Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi were very unwilling, they still bowed to Ying Ji perfunctorily.
In the eyes of Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi, the fact that they bowed to Ying Ji was already a great honor for him.
However.
Ying Ji was extremely displeased by Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi's perfunctory performance!
'Hmph, these fellows don't even respect me, the King of Qin!'
'Once I have an audience with the gods and receive their favor, I will surely make them pay!'
Ying Ji served as King of Qin for fifty years; he was a complete schemer.
He knew the power of Taoism. Although he was displeased with Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi, he did not lash out on the spot. Instead, he kept it in mind and planned to settle the score later.
...
After glancing at Bei Mingzi, Xiaoyaozi, and the others, Ying Ji looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said:
"Grand Preceptor, since you have arrived ahead of schedule, why are you lingering here instead of going to the Hongmeng Dojo?"
Ying Ji knew in his heart that a miracle like the Hongmeng Dojo was not something anyone could enter; it should be only those outstanding individuals recognized by the gods.
However, he also knew how powerful Donghuang Taiyi was.
In Ying Ji's eyes, Donghuang Taiyi was practically a god.
He was very surprised and doubtful. Could it be that even a powerful being like Donghuang Taiyi did not meet the standards for entering the Hongmeng Daoist Temple?
Upon hearing Ying Ji's question, Donghuang Taiyi pointed to the divine light enveloping the summit of Mount Taibai and replied calmly:
"Your Majesty, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has not yet been officially opened. It is shrouded in a divine light barrier, making it impossible to enter."
...
Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's reply, Ying Ji stared in astonishment at the magnificent divine light before him, which resembled the aurora borealis.
It seems that this is just a thin layer of beautiful light, yet it has blocked a powerful being like Donghuang Taiyi.
The divine light barrier outside is already this powerful.
How powerful must the god who created this miracle be?
In Ying Ji's view, this miracle was meant to help him.
The stronger the miracle, the happier he was.
In high spirits, Ying Ji pondered for a moment and then said to Donghuang Taiyi:
