Chapter 11: The Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots: The Flat Peach

In the eyes of Ying Zheng, the importance of Huhai was far inferior to that of Fusu.

Yet, it was this very prince, whom Ying Zheng did not hold in high regard, who actually ascended to the imperial throne.

That would have been one thing.

What made Ying Zheng feel disheartened was that Huhai, for the sake of his own throne, had nearly wiped out the entire Ying Clan.

They were all his own good sons.

As a father, Ying Zheng could not help but feel a sense of frustration.

But fortunately, everything had not yet happened; he still had time.

Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: "Your Majesty the First Emperor, in this world, one cannot rely on anyone; one can only rely on oneself."

Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: "We have now joined the Chat Group, and with the Heavenly Court, we will certainly be able to defy Fate and change our destiny."

Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng: "Sect Leader Yue is not wrong; it is fortunate that I have now joined the Heavens Chat Group."

Within the Ancient Tomb Sect, Xiaolongnü trembled.

As someone with social anxiety, she did not really accept the outside world and basically never left the house.

Even the daily food she needed was purchased by Sun Popo.

Therefore, Xiaolongnü lacked a basic understanding of the outside world of martial arts.

After seeing the plot, Xiaolongnü felt even more terrified of the outside world.

Xiaolongnü made up her mind that before she was invincible in the world, she could not easily leave the Ancient Tomb Sect.

And that so-called Son of Luck Yang Guo, he was trouble; she absolutely must not get involved in such trouble.

Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng: "Thank you to the Administrator for uploading the data; it is of great help to us."

Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: "Thank you to the Administrator."

Ancient Tomb Little Dragon Maiden: "Thank you to Su Xiaoxiao."

Within the Great Desolate World, Qin Hao looked at the members in the group.

He thought that most of these group members were people he was relatively familiar with.

It was time to give them some benefits.

【Ding-dong! The Group Owner, the Heavenly Emperor, has sent a red envelope.】

【Ding-dong! Diligently Working Su Xiaoxiao has claimed the red envelope and obtained a Flat Peach.】

【Ding-dong! Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng has claimed the red envelope and obtained a Flat Peach.】

【Ding-dong! Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun has claimed the red envelope and obtained a Flat Peach.】

Qin Hao directly sent one Flat Peach to each member in the group.

This Flat Peach was one of the ten great innate spiritual roots of the Great Desolate World.

Of the three thousand six hundred peach trees in the Flat Peach Garden, the first one thousand two hundred trees have small flowers and fruits, ripen every three thousand years, and those who eat them become immortals and attain the Dao.

The middle one thousand two hundred trees ripen every six thousand years, and those who eat them ascend to the heavens and attain immortality.

The last one thousand two hundred trees have purple veins and small pits, ripen every nine thousand years, and those who eat them live as long as heaven and earth, and as long as the sun and moon.

The Flat Peaches Qin Hao gave to the group members were all the most ordinary ones, and were even significantly weakened.

This was mainly because the strength of the group members was very weak; they were all mortals.

If the spiritual root were too powerful, these people would not be able to withstand it at all, and it could even directly burst their bodies.

That was why Qin Hao had greatly weakened the effects of these Flat Peaches before bestowing them upon the group members.

After receiving the Flat Peaches, the few members all felt it was incredible.

Just the aroma of that spiritual fruit alone was enough to make one feel a sense of ascension upon taking a single breath.

Diligently Working Su Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor."

Ancient Tomb Little Dragon Maiden: "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor."

Lord of the Heavenly Court, Heavenly Emperor: "Everyone, work hard."

Qin Hao had only acted casually, but for every group member, it had changed their Fate.

Diligently Working Su Xiaoxiao: "Respectfully sending off the Heavenly Emperor."

Huashan Sect Leader Yue Buqun: "Respectfully sending off the Heavenly Emperor."

Within the Great Qin World, Ying Zheng did not hesitate at all and directly swallowed the Flat Peach.

The Flat Peach melted upon entering his mouth and instantly flowed into his stomach.

And Ying Zheng's originally aged body regained its vitality in an instant.

He was rejuvenated, and his gray hair turned black.

More importantly, his own strength increased.

It could be said that the Flat Peach directly made him the strongest person in the world.

Feeling the long-lost surging power, Ying Zheng could not help but excitedly say, "Is this a Flat Peach? Is this the Heavenly Court?"

At this very moment, Ying Zheng did not have any hesitation.

He wanted to join the Heavenly Court.

"Come here."

Ying Zheng prepared to join the Great Dao Heavenly Court immediately.

Zhao Gao walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I wonder what the matter is?"

Zhao Gao's back was bent very low, appearing very humble.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Gao.

The air suddenly fell silent, which placed a heavy pressure upon Zhao Gao.

As a member of the Zhao State clan, Zhao Gao harbored a deep blood feud and had infiltrated the side of Ying Zheng.

Over these years, he had been loyal and devoted, handling affairs for Great Qin and for Ying Zheng.

Of course he wanted revenge, but he knew that as long as Ying Zheng lived, it was impossible for him to take revenge.

He placed his hopes on Huhai, helping Huhai gain the favor of Ying Zheng.

But as long as Ying Zheng lived, Zhao Gao dared not make any moves.

Yet Zhao Gao was like a venomous snake lurking in the Darkness, ready at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to Great Qin.

Feeling the heaviness in the air, Zhao Gao could not help but secretly look up.

Upon this look, Zhao Gao was even more shocked.

What had happened?

How had Ying Zheng returned to his youth?

Had he seen wrong?

Zhao Gao had been waiting for Ying Zheng to die; only if Ying Zheng died would he have the opportunity to subvert this empire.

But what was he seeing now?

He saw Ying Zheng returned to his youth.

Could it be that Ying Zheng had truly found the Undying Medicine?

Various thoughts raced through Zhao Gao's mind, and for a moment, his breathing became somewhat disordered.

With just one glance, Ying Zheng guessed Zhao Gao's thoughts.

"Zhao Gao, what are you thinking about?"

Ying Zheng stood up and looked at Zhao Gao indifferently.

It was this very lowly eunuch who had subverted his empire.

The entire Ying Clan had been slaughtered, and the members of the imperial family were treated worse than pigs or dogs.

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said fawningly, "Your subject was thinking that Your Majesty's imperial might is like the sea; for a moment, I was overwhelmed by Your Majesty's imperial might and did not know what to do."

Ying Zheng chuckled, breaking the gravity in the air.

Why had he never suspected Zhao Gao? Because all along, Zhao Gao had handled matters cleanly and efficiently; he was indeed a rare talent.

And the tasks entrusted to Zhao Gao over the years had never gone wrong.

The most excessive thing Zhao Gao had done was to associate with Huhai, which was actually understandable.

It was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng had never suspected Zhao Gao.

Ying Zheng sighed leisurely and said, "Zhao Gao, how have I treated you?"

"Your Majesty's grace toward your subject is as heavy as a mountain. It was Your Majesty who gave your subject dignity, and it was Your Majesty who allowed your subject to live like a human being."

Zhao Gao spoke with gratitude.

"Ha!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Since that is the case, then why betray me? Why betray Great Qin?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao's heart could not help but skip a beat.

What had Ying Zheng discovered?

Zhao Gao was certain that although he wanted to subvert Great Qin, as long as Ying Zheng was alive, he had basically made no other moves behind the scenes.
