Chapter 847

He was just a human, and he should compare himself to humans.

Those people were different.

They were compared to the supreme existences in myths and legends.

At the very least, Ying Zheng didn't feel he was qualified to compare himself with the Fire Virtue Star Lord.

"Calm your mind. A cultivator must first accept their own talent, and then they can start working hard from that position."

"The premise of man conquering heaven is that you must first acknowledge your own mediocrity. In this world, there is never a shortage of geniuses."

"But the cultivation world is not without cases of ordinary people changing their destiny, and there are many."

"It's just that relatively speaking, some people stand on the stage of the finish line from birth, while others need to work hard to stand on the stage of the finish line."

"Once you step into the path of cultivation, there is no possibility of stopping. You will need to lower your posture and work hard for your whole life."

Jiang Xuan Chen looked at Ying Zheng and said patiently:

"Zheng'er, let me tell you a story."

"In the past, there was a peerless genius in the cultivation world who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root and was the darling of that cultivation family from birth."

"Everyone firmly believed that he could become an immortal."

"He lived up to expectations and truly became an immortal within fifty thousand years."

"From then on, he ascended to the immortal world and became an immortal soldier in the Heavenly Court..."

"Later, a great demon power in the immortal world, calling himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, led countless demon soldiers to attack the Heavenly Court."

"Guess what happened to that genius?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and hesitated:

"Successfully suppressed that great power?"

Jiang Xuan Chen laughed dumbly and shook his head.

"The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li of the Heavenly Court, a Golden Immortal power, led one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to intercept the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. That genius was beaten to the point of soul destruction by the Great Sage in one encounter."

"..."

At this moment, everyone was silent.

They had seen much of the beauty of the cultivation world, but they had only just heard of its cruelty.

"There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven. Young Sect Master Klee's talent is very good, but compared to the Sect Master?"

"The Sect Master's talent is unprecedented in the cultivation world, or even the immortal world, but compared to those Great Goddess Nuwa, the Three Pure Ancestors, and the Haotian God?"

"In the words of that recognized God of War of the Heavenly Court."

"If you don't cultivate, seeing me is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you cultivate, seeing me is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

"The Second Young Master Erlang has a divine dog named Xiaotian. Erlang and his friends jokingly call it the Xiaotian Dog every day."

"But do you know what that Xiaotian Dog should be called in the cultivation world?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's blank expression, Jiang Xuan Chen said in a deep voice:

"Sun-Swallowing God Lord..."

Ying Zheng understood a little and respectfully bowed to Jiang Xuan Chen.

"Many thanks, Ancestor; I understand."

Jiang Xuan Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Zheng'er, don't be scared by those top-tier geniuses. Above them, there are even more powerful geniuses."

"Cultivation is itself a practice of changing one's destiny against heaven time and time again."

"Only by first accepting that there are always stronger geniuses above you, while ensuring that you never lose your persistence in cultivation."

"Only then can you truly walk your own path and not become an ant in the eyes of others."

"Even ants have the ambition to swallow the sky. For a practitioner, although talent is important, what is more important must be the Dao heart and will."

"The Sect Master's talent is shocking and rare. He is only in his twenties, but he has already reached the pinnacle of practitioners, the late stage of Void Refinement and Dao Integration."

"But the Sect Master still maintains a pious and humble cultivation mindset."

"There is always someone stronger than the strong, and there is always a mountain higher than the mountain."

"You must keep this in mind."

Ying Zheng nodded seriously and said earnestly:

"Yes, Ancestor! I will keep it in mind!"

Jiang Xuan Chen nodded slightly and said softly:

"After that, follow me back to the clan land. In the short term, I will not teach you cultivation. I want you to carefully read some biographies of the cultivation world."

"Wait until you have your own understanding of the cultivation world, your own cognition of cultivation, and adjust your mindset."

"Then your cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds."

"As I said, if you can break through to Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation within a hundred years, I will send you to Shushan no matter what."

"You don't need to be too anxious. Your current lifespan is over three thousand years, although it is a bit worse compared to ordinary cultivators in the clan."

"But when you lay a good foundation for cultivation, it will definitely be smooth sailing. You don't need to worry about lifespan."

"Unless your talent is extremely poor and your Dao heart is not firm, generally speaking, cultivators will not worry about lifespan."

"In our clan, it's not like there are no pills for extending life, so just take your time."

Listening to Jiang Xuan Chen arranging his cultivation matters step by step, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel moved.

Ever since he became King, no one had cared about him like this.

Not to mention standing from the perspective of an elder, hoping from the bottom of his heart that he would be well, and taking the trouble to clean up the path he was going to take.

Although as an emperor, he shouldn't like other people's arrangements, but his own ancestor tidying up the path for him to walk well.

Ying Zheng did not refuse, and in his heart, he even longed for it.

579. The Cryo Archon's Sharp Critique of Great Qin

In the next few days, basically nothing major happened.

Ying Zheng's team for the Fengshan sacrifice soon returned to Xianyang.

And in these few days, the matter of immortals descending to Great Qin had already caused a huge stir.

Basically, the entire Great Qin knew about the so-called immortal descent.

Some believed it firmly, while others thought it was a signal for Great Qin to take action against anti-Qin forces.

But more people gathered towards Xianyang, intending to find out the news for themselves.

Although these anti-Qin forces were unwilling to believe any news coming from Great Qin.

But...

People's words are to be feared.

Since so many people mentioned it, they had to be careful.

In these few days, the Cryo Archon also had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Great Qin.

To be honest, it was somewhat similar to Teyvat.

Both were seven nations, but that was the only similarity.

The relationship between the seven nations of Teyvat could not be compared to the seven nations of the Warring States period.

Although Snezhnaya previously had a not-so-good relationship with the other seven nations because of the Cryo Archon's plan.

But it never reached the point of fighting to the death.

Moreover, they didn't dare to use force at will.

More importantly, the rulers of the seven nations knew each other.

Relatively speaking, Teyvat was a peaceful seven-nation world.

However, regarding the unification strategy implemented by Ying Zheng, the Cryo Archon thought it was very reasonable.

During the Warring States period, nations fought and traded, and the people lived in misery.

Compared to the humans during the Archon War, they lived even more miserably.

In Teyvat, because of the existence of gods and Heavenly Principles, the seven nations could live in peace and develop peacefully.

But here in Great Qin...

It indeed needed a unified nation to end all disputes.

The world is, after all, the world of the majority of people. For ordinary people, peace is what they truly crave.

Great Qin could suppress the world with force and give the people peace after unification. The Cryo Archon was very satisfied with this point.

Every world has its own different development trend.
