Chapter 966

The former is certainly incomparably powerful, but Emperor Taizu of Song Zhao Kuangyin and their Great Ming's Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang have also reached this realm, which is not too shocking.

But if it is the latter, then it is too terrifying.

So far, no powerhouse above the quasi-Emperor realm has ever been exposed in the world.

If Ying Zheng has really reached this realm, it means he has surpassed Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang, approaching Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che.

For those of them from the Great Ming, it is clearly somewhat hard to accept.

"There is one more point."

"The Qin Emperor's cultivation is so astonishing; logically, he should have transcended the lifespan of ordinary people long ago."

"Why is he still tirelessly seeking the method of longevity?"

Shangguan Haitang also raised her own question.

Everyone nodded one after another in agreement.

There are countless methods to prolong life in this world.

If one says that "Hun Tian Bao Jian" cannot prolong life, they absolutely do not believe it.

"Oh, why are you guessing so much? Isn't it enough to just listen to Mr. Su continue?"

"I think this matter is related to the mutation Mr. Su mentioned at the end."

Princess Yunluo said in a pretty voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt it made sense and looked towards the white jade platform again, with a slightly nervous look in their eyes.

Currently, the emperors of the several major Central Plains imperial dynasties are between the peak of Martial Saint and quasi-Emperor.

They do not hope to break this boundary.

……

The sixth private room in the West District.

"What? Father, Father actually cultivated the strongest God-Demon level technique, 'Hun Tian Bao Jian'?"

Fusu said in shock, his eyeballs almost popping out.

He had been Ying Zheng's son for more than twenty years and knew nothing about this.

Even Ge Nie's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.

But he was not as shocked as Fusu.

Because he had always served by Ying Zheng's side and often felt an aura as terrifying as an abyss from Ying Zheng.

So he had long concluded that Ying Zheng must have incomparably terrifying martial arts cultivation.

Now it can only be considered confirming this matter.

Ying Zheng's strength is truly far above his.

Thinking this, Ge Nie was even more glad that he did not take action to help when Jing Ke assassinated Ying Zheng.

If he had helped Jing Ke at that time, the ending would have been that both of them died miserably.

"The Emperor hides so deeply; what does the mutation Mr. Su mentioned refer to?"

Zhang Han also muttered in his heart.

Like Ge Nie, he had been by Ying Zheng's side for many years and had long noticed that Ying Zheng was hiding terrifying cultivation.

But he had no clue about the so-called 'mutation'.

But he naturally did not dare to ask about such things and could only look towards the white jade platform, waiting for Su Chen to answer.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea leisurely, watching the popularity points soar, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

According to this progress, just the commentary on "Hun Tian Bao Jian" would be enough to give him more than one million popularity points.

This is definitely a generous reward.

Until the discussion of the crowd below gradually subsided, Su Chen put down his teacup and said slowly:

"Everyone should be very clear about that mutation."

"It is the well-known Rebellion of Chengjiao."

"Back then, after Ying Zheng succeeded as King of Qin, he enfeoffed his younger brother Chengjiao as Lord of Chang'an."

"This Chengjiao has always had great ambitions; long before Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, he secretly created the Iron Blood Alliance, with forces spanning seven countries and countless experts under his command."

"He originally thought that the position of King of Qin must belong to him, but he did not expect that at the most critical moment, the always neutral Lu Buwei stood on Ying Zheng's side."

"Although the Iron Blood Alliance under his command was strong, its experts were scattered across the seven countries, and it was not very powerful within the Qin State."

"Under the siege of the Luo Wang organization under Lu Buwei and the Black Ice Guards under Ying Zheng, Chengjiao was eventually defeated and could only watch Ying Zheng ascend the throne."

"But Chengjiao was not willing to be subservient to Ying Zheng forever, so after planning for several years, he launched the world-shaking Rebellion of Chengjiao."

"It was this betrayal that caused the Great Qin to lose soldiers and generals."

"Not only that, Chengjiao also stole two Heavenly Crystals from the palace, which were the ninth and tenth Heavenly Crystals that Ying Zheng had not yet had time to cultivate."

"Ying Zheng was furious and ordered the Great General Wang Jian to lead the army to wipe out Chengjiao."

"In this battle, Chengjiao's side was miserably defeated, but Chengjiao himself luckily escaped a disaster and hid."

"Chengjiao's martial arts talent was also very powerful; he actually skipped the first nine styles and directly used the tenth Heavenly Crystal to cultivate the tenth mental method of 'Hun Tian Bao Jian', 'Mysterious Universe'."

"Su Mou has already said before that the ten mental methods of 'Hun Tian Bao Jian', each style is more powerful than the last, and the power of the tenth style 'Mysterious Universe' is already comparable to a true God-Demon level technique."

"Relying on this technique, Chengjiao advanced by leaps and bounds and had already cultivated to the second layer of the Mysterious Universe realm, with galaxies born within his body, and his combat power was comparable to a quasi-Emperor powerhouse."

"And although Ying Zheng had cultivated the first eight mental methods of 'Hun Tian Bao Jian' to the perfect realm, he could not cultivate the ninth style 'Blood Firmament' because he lacked the ninth Heavenly Crystal."

"If this continued, he would never be able to break through to the quasi-Emperor realm in his life."

"But Ying Zheng is the Emperor of the Ages after all; in order to defeat Chengjiao, he actually risked defying heaven to cultivate the ninth mental method 'Blood Firmament'!"

"Su Mou has already said before."

"'Hun Tian Bao Jian' uses ten Heavenly Crystals as carriers; you must first hold the Heavenly Crystal to meditate and establish the foundation, and then you can cultivate the mental method."

"Ying Zheng directly reverse-cultivated the mental method of 'Blood Firmament', which naturally got rid of the constraints of the Heavenly Crystals."

"This cultivation method can be called extremely dangerous, unprecedented in history, and those who cultivate it have a nine-in-ten chance of death."

"But Ying Zheng relied on his powerful talent to successfully reverse-cultivate the ninth style of 'Hun Tian Bao Jian', 'Blood Firmament', and his cultivation broke through to the peak of quasi-Emperor in one fell swoop."

"This internal energy realm even surpassed Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che back then, and can be called the ceiling below Wu Di."

"As long as Ying Zheng refines the ninth Heavenly Crystal, he can immediately advance the ninth style 'Blood Firmament' to the perfect realm and prove the Wu Di fruit position."

"But because the necessary condition of obtaining the ninth Heavenly Crystal is very difficult to achieve, one must first defeat the powerful Chengjiao."

"So Su Mou listed Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che as the person closest to shattering the void in the past thousand years."

"At the same time, Ying Zheng has a huge flaw."

"'Hun Tian Bao Jian' originally has the mystery of prolonging life, and those who cultivate this technique have a lifespan far exceeding ordinary people."

"Especially after cultivating the ninth style 'Blood Firmament', it will strengthen the blood energy, making the blood energy as full as a god, prolonging life by three thousand years."

"But Ying Zheng cultivated this realm with the 'reverse-cultivation method', which is going against the flow and changing heaven and earth."

"This mental method will not only not strengthen his blood energy, but will burn his blood energy essence at a hundred times the speed, accelerating the loss of life."

"Originally, after Ying Zheng cultivated the eighth mental method of 'Hun Tian Bao Jian', his lifespan had reached a thousand years."

"But under the hundred-fold blood energy burning speed of 'Reverse Blood Firmament', he has at most ten years of lifespan left."

"There are only two paths in front of Ying Zheng."

"The first path is to find Chengjiao, defeat him, take back the ninth Heavenly Crystal, refine it, and fill the defects of 'Blood Firmament'."

"Doing this can not only completely repair the side effects of reverse-cultivating 'Blood Firmament', but his cultivation can also directly break through to the Wu Di realm."

"The problem is that Chengjiao is hidden very deeply, and even the Yin-Yang School cannot calculate his whereabouts."

"The second path is to find longevity substances that can increase lifespan."

"This path is extremely difficult; divine objects that can increase others' lifespan by a thousand years can only increase Ying Zheng's lifespan by ten years."

"But if you obtain things like 'Dragon Essence' that can significantly prolong lifespan, you can still significantly replenish blood energy."

"But this method is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure; without the ninth Heavenly Crystal, there is no possibility of stepping into the Wu Di realm."
