Chapter 514

~9 min read 1,605 words

Great Qin, Xianyang City.

Since some time ago, for some reason, Ying Zheng suddenly felt that his energy was not as vigorous as before.

Looking at the first white hair that had actually grown on his head, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

“Could it be that I am truly old?”

At this moment, Ying Zheng was very helpless. He wanted to live for a longer time, but there was no way, even though he had been sending people to desperately search for a way to seek immortality for so many years.

But until now, on the road to immortality, Ying Zheng had not taken a single step.

“I must train Yu’er as soon as possible so that he can shoulder the burden of the Great Qin as early as possible.”

“It seems I must push him onto the throne even faster.”

Ying Zheng’s gaze was somewhat unfocused at this moment; he stared at the sky outside and said softly.

But just at this moment, rays of light suddenly erupted in the sky, endless Heavenly Dao pressure appeared above the firmament, and the rich power of the Heavenly Dao spread across the entire sky.

Facing such terrifying Heavenly Dao pressure, Ying Zheng just gave a light hum, and then took out the Great Qin’s Imperial Jade Seal.

Subsequently, a black dragon formed by the Great Tang’s national destiny directly shrouded the entire Xianyang City.

“What is this again?”

Under the protection of the black dragon formed by national destiny, Ying Zheng was not affected in the slightest by the Heavenly Dao pressure.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at the sky, at something emitting blazing light formed by the endless power of the Heavenly Dao.

After a moment, the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking directly appeared in Ying Zheng’s line of sight, followed by information about Zhang Jiao’s Taiping Essential Arts making the list.

After completely receiving the information from the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but mutter to himself:

“Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking?”

“There is actually a new Heavenly Ranking again?!”

“Then in this new Heavenly Ranking, will there be things I need regarding immortality?”

At this moment, the look in Ying Zheng’s eyes as he looked at the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking was extremely fervent.

The desire for immortality in his heart, which had already been about to extinguish, burned fiercely once again the moment he saw the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking.

In fact, during the time of the Famous Sword Ranking, the desire for immortality in Ying Zheng’s heart had gradually weakened.

After all, the previous Divine Weapon Ranking might have had rare treasures and supreme items of heaven and earth that could increase a person’s lifespan, but a Famous Sword Ranking would only feature various terrifying swords, which was completely useless to Ying Zheng.

Therefore, during that previous period, Ying Zheng had been somewhat anxious to give Ying Ying Ziyu the task of becoming the Crown Prince; he just wanted to make the entire Great Qin completely submissive to the Ninth Prince Ying Ying Ziyu before he himself died.

Only in this way could the Great Qin become even more powerful in Ying Ying Ziyu’s hands, and only then would it be possible to realize the dream in Ying Zheng’s heart of trampling the various countries of the Central Plains in the future!

But now, the appearance of the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking made Ying Zheng think of immortality again.

“Perhaps, I still have a chance!”

Ying Zheng stared at the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking in the sky with very fiery eyes and said slowly.

“Now, the situation in the Great Qin has not exceeded anything beyond my control.”

“Whether it is the various schools of thought within the Great Qin or the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they are already of no consequence. If it weren’t for the fact that I handed this matter to Yu’er, as long as I wanted to, I could crush them at any time!”

Thinking of Ying Ying Ziyu, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng’s face involuntarily.

“Now that the Baiyue City side has also promised to form an alliance with the Great Qin, the Great Qin no longer has any internal worries.”

“And the Great Qin’s current military strength, under my management, is thriving even more. Even if foreign enemies come now, relying on the Great Qin’s current strength, there is still no need to fear.”

“So, can I now let the Lord of Wu’an find some treasures related to immortality for me in advance?”

“If the treasures found can really make it onto the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking, then the Heavenly Dao reward will certainly be related to immortality!”

“At that time, it may not be impossible for me to walk the path of immortality with a mortal body!”

Thinking of this, rays of sharp light burst from Ying Zheng’s eyes, and the previous look of fatigue was swept away under the temptation of immortality.

Under the temptation of immortality, Ying Zheng went directly to the Great Qin’s library.

Under Ying Zheng’s tireless search, it didn’t take long for him to find a treasure related to “immortality,” and according to the records in this ancient book in Ying Zheng’s hands, this treasure related to “immortality” not only had the characteristic of making people immortal but also possessed extremely powerful destructive power!

According to the introduction of this treasure in this ancient book, Ying Zheng believed that if this treasure were to appear in the world, it would certainly be qualified to successfully make it onto the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking!

Subsequently, Ying Zheng shouted somewhat urgently toward the empty hall:

“Lord of Wu’an!”

Ying Zheng’s voice had just fallen when, in just a moment, the figure of the Lord of Wu’an, Bai Qi, appeared before Ying Zheng.

Looking at Ying Zheng’s slightly excited appearance at this moment, a trace of doubt appeared in the Lord of Wu’an’s eyes.

The reason for this was precisely because in the past, Ying Zheng was always that kind of person whose joy or anger could not be seen.

It was only after the appearance of Ying Ying Ziyu that there were more smiles on Ying Zheng’s face.

But even when Ying Zheng saw Ying Ying Ziyu, the excitement on Ying Zheng’s face had never been as high as it was now... 0

Seeing Bai Qi, Ying Zheng walked excitedly to Bai Qi’s front and handed the ancient book in his hand to Bai Qi very carefully.

“Lord of Wu’an, follow the records in this ancient book, find this treasure, and then hand it to me!”

Ying Zheng said to Bai Qi very excitedly.

After Bai Qi took the ancient book and saw the page Ying Zheng had folded, a trace of difference appeared in his eyes.

“Yes.”

Bai Qi replied.

Subsequently, Bai Qi disappeared before Ying Zheng.

After Bai Qi left Ying Zheng’s side, he turned again to the page Ying Zheng had folded.

“It is actually this thing.”

“I said why His Majesty would suddenly be so excited; it turns out this is related to immortality.”

“That’s right, besides immortality, what else in this world is worth His Majesty treating it like this?”

“It seems the appearance of the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking has reignited the flame of wanting immortality in His Majesty’s heart.”

Bai Qi looked up at the Nine Provinces Treasure Ranking in the sky, which was wrapped in endless Heavenly Dao power, and sighed with slight helplessness.

On the other side, inside the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

At this time, Ying Ying Ziyu was basking in the sun very leisurely.

“Sigh, basking in the sun every day, humming little tunes, this is really boring.”

Ying Ying Ziyu said softly.

“Otherwise, should I take advantage of the opportunity that Father Emperor gave me to sweep away the various schools of thought and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms within the Great Qin to go out and play?”

Ever since this thought appeared in Ying Ying Ziyu’s heart, he had no way to control the spread of this idea.

The reason Ying Ying Ziyu could travel around the Nine Provinces at will before was that he hadn’t received Ying Zheng’s attention, and there were not many people within the Great Qin paying attention to his private life, so Ying Ying Ziyu could wander around in various places in the Nine Provinces.

But now, ever since Ying Ying Ziyu exposed his strength, he had become like a shining star, and the attention of everyone in the Great Qin was gathered on him. In fact, Ying Ying Ziyu didn’t care much about others.

But for Ying Zheng, Ying Ying Ziyu couldn’t help but care. If Ying Zheng suddenly called him to say there was something to do while Ying Ying Ziyu was out playing, that would not be good.

However, now he had the task given to him by Ying Zheng to sweep away the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the various schools of thought, which precisely gave Ying Ying Ziyu a reason to go out and play.

“Anyway, I handed the matter of sweeping away the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the various schools of thought to Ye Ye Gucheng, and with Ye Ye Gucheng’s ability, there won’t be any mishaps.”

“Then, taking advantage of this time, I’ll go to Baiyue City to take a look; I really haven’t been to Yan Yan Lingji’s side for a long time.”

With this thought, Ying Ying Ziyu turned directly into dots of starlight and disappeared from the original rattan chair.
