Chapter 604: A Solemn Oath, Witnessed by the Sun and Moon!

"I ascended the throne at thirteen, spent nearly ten years taking full power, and then in a few years, destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world!"

"Now, the territory of my Qin State reaches Penglai of the immortal mountains in the east, Many Loulan of the ancient kingdom in the west, has destroyed the Regarding Baiyue countries in the south, and repelled the Xiongnu in the north, holding the north of the Yinshan Mountains!"

"This time, I climbed Mount Tai to sacrifice to Heaven here, serving Heaven with rites..."

Standing on the altar, Ying Zheng first explained the reason for coming here to sacrifice to Heaven, and then stated his many achievements, telling the gods of the heavens to prove the legitimacy of his rule.

At first, this voice could only be heard by the people on Mount Tai.

But gradually, for some reason, Ying Zheng’s voice became extremely loud, possessing an unparalleled penetrating power. Not only could the people on Mount Tai hear it, but his voice spread from the altar, and those soldiers stationed on Mount Tai, as well as the common people gathered at the foot of Mount Tai just to catch a glimpse of the Emperor’s dignity, all heard this voice.

First, the people on Mount Tai were stunned.

"This is... His Majesty the Emperor’s voice?"

Immediately afterward, because the people on Mount Tai conveyed this matter, many soldiers stationed below also recognized that it was His Majesty the Emperor’s voice, and because they knew, many common people also knew.

Some common people at first wondered who was speaking, as this voice spread from the ethereal void, but now they learned that it was actually His Majesty the Emperor’s voice.

His Majesty the Emperor was sacrificing to Heaven at Mount Tai, and his voice had actually reached here.

How incredible was this?

But thinking about it, it was precisely because such an incredible thing had happened that it showed His Majesty the Emperor’s uniqueness.

Many people listened carefully to these words.

Only then did they know that this was His Majesty the Emperor declaring his achievements to Heaven.

Great events in the world seemed a bit out of reach for common people, but after hearing these great achievements mentioned by His Majesty the Emperor, everyone still felt something unusual. His Majesty the Emperor was truly too great.

It was also because of this feeling that they couldn't help but feel a bit more awe for this Emperor whom they had only heard of by name but had never seen.

On Mount Tai, Does Xun Zi noticed Ying Zheng’s voice spreading from the top of the mountain to a very far place, was stunned, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "What a grand display!"

Li Si and Han Fei looked at Su Xuan, who was standing to the side like a passerby.

Undoubtedly, this matter was Su Xuan’s handiwork.

But even Han Fei and Li Si had to admit that this move by Su Xuan was like a stroke of genius.

The Mount Tai Fengshan sacrifice was itself a means to worship Heaven and Earth, to comfort the gods with one’s achievements, and to prove that imperial power was received from Heaven, thereby strengthening the rule of royal power.

Due to certain reasons, not many people could truly climb to the top of Mount Tai to witness this event during this Fengshan sacrifice.

However, at the foot of Mount Tai, there were quite a few common people gathered here because they admired the Emperor’s name.

This move by Su Xuan, through unknown means, transmitted Ying Zheng’s voice, allowing the common people at the foot of Mount Tai to hear these words. Today’s Fengshan sacrifice would undoubtedly become a miracle, spread through the mouths of the people, and this matter would take on a bit of mythological color, combined with the news that spread throughout the world when the Mirage returned that Ying Zheng had obtained the elixir of immortality.

Ying Zheng’s image would leap from an emperor in the mortal world to a level comparable to the legendary Heavenly Emperor.

Han Fei was meticulous and immediately combined these two things.

His gaze toward Su Xuan became more and more different.

'Was all this planned by you?'

If not, it could only be said that he thought too much. If it was, this person Su Xuan was truly terrifying.

It was fortunate that he was now considered a minister of the Qin State, and had a relationship with Su Xuan as a fellow minister, rather than an enemy.

As he learned more about Su Xuan, Su Xuan’s image became more and more terrifying in Han Fei’s mind.

Sometimes, he thought slightly, if he and Su Xuan were enemies, he would suddenly discover that all his quick wit seemed unable to deal with Su Xuan, after all, Su Xuan was too strong.

Now, he could only be glad that they were not enemies.

Not to mention the feelings of Does Xun Zi and his two disciples.

Those Confucian scholars who followed and were able to observe the Fengshan sacrifice all fell into a state of silence after Su Xuan used his means to break the heavy rain earlier. At this moment, hearing Ying Zheng’s loud voice as if it had descended from the nine heavens, they all trembled, their hearts swaying.

Although they had all seen Su Xuan break the wind and rain with his own strength before, wasn't the current event a miracle?

The Confucian Sect Master Fu Nian was also mixed among the many Confucian scholars.

He had actually heard the discussions of these Confucian scholars earlier, but he didn't say anything. However, in his heart, he had already made up his mind that after this, he would definitely reorganize the Confucian school.

If they followed the ideas of these Confucian people, they would sooner or later bring disaster to the Confucian school.

This was not surprising, as many Confucian scholars did not like the Qin State.

The Confucian school’s submission to the Qin State was only a choice made after Han Fei and others arrived at the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor and forced the Confucian school to take a stand.

Immediately afterward, Fu Nian’s brow furrowed slightly again.

"What exactly is this power?"

He held the Tai'e sword, which was a sword of prestige. It was said that when this sword was forged, its sword Qi already filled the space between Heaven and Earth. Fu Nian had held this sword for many years and had also felt the meaning of prestige from Heaven and Earth.

Now, as Ying Zheng sacrificed to Heaven, he felt a power more magnificent than the prestige of the Tai'e sword, which made him very curious.

On the altar, Ying Zheng’s voice spread, and many achievements were slowly stated by him, telling the gods of Heaven and Earth.

As the voice rang out, the commoners at the foot of Taishan were filled with awe, and he also felt his own destiny gathering and becoming more solid.

This made his feelings regarding the Fengshan ceremony mentioned by Su Xuan grow even deeper.

After announcing his many achievements to heaven and earth, everyone thought that Ying Zheng’s Fengshan ceremony had come to an end, but unexpectedly, Ying Zheng’s tone shifted, and he suddenly began to speak of something else.

"Today, with the sun and moon above and heaven and earth before me, I, Ying Zheng, hereby take an oath..."

"While I live, I shall defend the land and expand our borders, sweep across the four seas, and secure the foundation of my Great Qin for ten thousand generations!"

"When I am no more, I shall become a heroic spirit to protect my Huaxia, that it may never decline for all eternity!"
