Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 337: The Underworld under the Rule of Taishan Lord! The Awakening of the Emperor's Way!
One can only allow consciousness to penetrate deeply into it and awaken the so-called power of great righteousness; being able to allow the soul to remain there permanently are two completely different concepts.

Although the former is mysterious, how can it compare with the latter?

After all, the latter has achieved immortality in the true sense.

Even now Zhang Liang is still young.

But he still understood what the immortality of the soul meant.

Don’t think that only after Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms and became the first emperor did he become so obsessed with immortality.

On the contrary, the obsession with immortality runs almost throughout history.

To be precise, longevity is one of the most instinctive pursuits of all life.

As long as one is alive, it is impossible for him not to have the desire for immortality.

Even a young man like Zhang Liang, whose life was just beginning and who did not have such a strong desire for immortality, could not help but show a moved expression when he heard that the so-called Confucian holy land could actually allow a person's soul to remain forever.

At this time, almost no one cared about the battle between Hei Bai Xuan Jian and his fellow apprentice brothers Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

In fact, compared to this wonderful battle, something like immortality, which should only exist in myths, made them more concerned and worried.

Luo Fu nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes, it is the Confucian holy land you mentioned. It is a world that is truly independent of reality, just like the underworld ruled by the Lord of Mount Tai. It is a world where people can stay in spirit forever."

If he were the future First Emperor, I'm afraid that when he heard about Sun Jian who had the hope of immortality, he would be eager to ask Luofu for the method of immortality.

But now, Ying Zheng is more concerned about the life and death of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

"Sir, will Cheng Jiao ever return to the human world? How can I see him?"

"No." Luo Fu knew very well why Ying Zheng asked this question.

Regardless of whether Cheng Jiao entered the so-called Confucian holy world, for this world, or for Ying Zheng and the Qin State, Cheng Jiao had only one ending, which was death.

But as long as Cheng Jiao does not appear in this world, Ying Zheng still hopes to see his brother again.

After first dispelling the key point that Ying Zheng was most worried about, Luo Fu immediately said: "If you want to contact people whose souls reside in the Confucian Holy Land, there is only one way, and that is to improve your own Confucian cultivation."

After a slight pause, Luo Fu continued, "Of course, Confucianism and Taoism are not absolute. In fact, I have discovered that that world can accommodate more than just Confucianism and Taoism. After reaching a certain level of knowledge in various schools of thought, one has the opportunity to access that world. However, Confucianism has a greater chance of entering that world."

"Confucianism?" Ying Zheng frowned immediately.

For Ying Zheng, in his eyes, Confucianism was just a group of people who could talk big, and the real way to govern the country still had to be the Legalists.

This has been confirmed by facts.

The Zhongshan Kingdom, the first country where the entire nation practiced Confucian ideals, was destroyed because of Confucianism.

This also dealt a severe blow to Confucianism.

Anyone who follows the teachings of the Legalists can, on the contrary, realize the ideal of enriching the country and strengthening the military.

The various reforms carried out by the seven countries are clear evidence of this.

Legalism is undoubtedly the way to make a country strong. As for Confucianism, the fall of Zhongshan Kingdom was enough to make Ying Zheng believe that it was a doctrine that was only good for big talk but of little help to the country and the people.

Among Han Fei's five pests, the idea that Confucians use literature to disrupt the law and knights use force to break the law was deeply recognized by Qin Shi Huang.

Confucianism and chivalry also represent the two major schools of thought at the time, Confucianism and Mohism respectively.

For the country, both of these doctrines will obviously bring only disasters.

But now Luo Fu told him that in that world where one's soul can remain forever, Confucianism is easier for people to approach.

It was also thanks to Luofu that when he affirmed Confucianism, he did not deny other schools of thought, otherwise, who knows what Ying Zheng would think.

After calming himself down, Ying Zheng said, "Sir, can the Legalists also enter the so-called...so-called holy land?"

It is obviously not an easy task to make a man with a strong mind like Ying Zheng accept the name of the Confucian divine realm, a world where one's soul can remain forever.

Luo Fu nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right. Although the various schools of thought have different ideas, their goal is to pursue the idea of ​​universal peace. In order to pursue a truly stable order, as long as you can resonate with that world, you can contact that world, and as your strength increases, you can contact the soul of that world."

"Power? Could it be that that world can give people strange abilities?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Even though the supernatural system in this world does not seem to have a high upper limit, even Gai Nie, who is known as the Sword Saint, could only defeat 300 Qin soldiers head-on, which shocked the whole world.

But in terms of variety, the world is full of diversity.

Martial arts Qi, Yin-Yang magic, bloodline supernatural powers, mechanical creations, etc. ... everything is available.

In Ying Zheng's view, the world where the spirit can stay is obviously a kind of ability similar to blood inheritance, but it is passed on through knowledge.

Although there is not much blood inheritance, as the king of a country, Ying Zheng has seen it.

Although it may not be comparable to Yan Lingji's innate ability to manipulate fire, his other bloodline abilities are not weak either.

This kind of knowledge inheritance is really incredible.

Of course, it is not difficult to understand the existence of such a special world. After all, this world is full of myths and legends.

Almost all the theories of various schools of thought use cases of success and failure of ancient people as examples, and Confucianism is the most typical one among them.

It can be said that although the various schools of thought emerged in the Spring and Autumn Period, the origins of these ideas are so long ago that it is impossible to trace them back. Almost every one of them can be related to ancient mythology.

It is not difficult to understand if we can touch upon the power left over from ancient myths through learning.

After finding a reasonable explanation for the source of the world that could keep people in the trance, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "Sir, if I use the theory of Legalism, how can I get in touch with that world?"

In fact, ever since those old monsters from various schools of thought came into contact with the Shenwei World, the Shenwei World, this special place created by Luofu, has long been no longer limited to the barriers of Luofu’s own doctrines and Confucianism.

However, adopting Luofu's doctrine is the simplest way, while other schools of thought require a sufficient spiritual realm.

The Shenwei World is the most far-reaching change brought about by Luofu.

But now this change is still in its infancy.

However, although Ying Zheng was an emperor and not a sage of the Hundred Schools of Thought, in terms of spiritual realm, even those old monsters among the Hundred Schools of Thought can be compared with him, which is still rare.

In fact, as the future first emperor, Ying Zheng truly laid the core of the imperial system for more than two thousand years.

Apart from anything else, as Ying Zheng's swordsmanship teacher, Gai Nie's evaluation is almost quite impressive.

There has never been, and there will never be, an emperor like Ying Zheng in the future.

There is no doubt that Ying Zheng's spiritual realm, as he was able to establish such a system and implement it with determination, was definitely one of the strongest in the world.

That is to say, now, Ying Zheng has not yet come to power and cannot transform this potential into strength.

Otherwise, given his state of mind, it would be almost inevitable for him to come into contact with the world of divine power.

Facing Ying Zheng's question, Luo Fu only thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Master Shang, do you want to contact that holy land as a disciple of the Legalist School?"

His brows suddenly furrowed.

Although Ying Zheng attached great importance to the ideas of Legalism, he would not admit that he was a disciple of Legalism.

He is the king, the king of the Great Qin, the king of the future world. How could he limit himself to any one school of thought?

The reason why the Legalists were valued was simply because they could help consolidate the power of the Qin Dynasty and help it unify the world.

But it would be wrong to say that Ying Zheng really believed in the Legalists.

In Ying Zheng's mind, the various schools of thought were at best nothing more than tools that could be used. How could an emperor trap himself in tools?
Staring at Luofu, Ying Zheng said, "Sir, is there no other way to get in touch with that world besides the various schools of thought?"

Luo Fu looked at Ying Zheng without hesitation, nodded slightly, and said affirmatively: "Yes, and that is the most suitable path for Master Shang."

His eyes lit up, and Ying Zheng couldn't wait to bow and nod to Luofu.

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Zheng."

"The way of the emperor."

At this moment, except for the brothers Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang who were engaged in a fight, everyone else was deeply attracted by the conversation between Luofu and Ying Zheng.

Han Fei, Zhang Liang and others were in a trance and had the illusion that the stories of ancient sages and holy kings were repeating themselves.

Shen Buhai and Han Zhaohou, Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong... those stories between wise ministers and wise kings who carried out reforms in various countries seemed to be re-enacted before their eyes.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. The way of the emperor is definitely a stance and a point of view, and there are many different ways among the various schools of thought.

But thinking of Luofu's status as a Confucian sage, Ying Zheng said with a hint of resistance: "Sir, are you trying to tell me that ruling by doing nothing is the way of an emperor?"

If this is true, then Ying Zheng would respectfully decline Luofu's so-called imperial way.

In Ying Zheng's eyes, the Confucian sage king was just a puppet.

The so-called wise ministers, no matter how great they were praised by Confucianism, were all like Lu Buwei in the eyes of Ying Zheng.

As an emperor, how could Ying Zheng have any good feelings towards the Confucian sage monarch?

Moreover, Confucianism is just boasting about its power now. In fact, after the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed because of Confucianism, almost all countries have an unspoken consensus on Confucianism.

Confucianism is useless.

The former Zhongshan Kingdom required itself to be a Confucian sage monarch, but now it is completely gone.

Luo Fu, however, shook his head gently under Ying Zheng's suspicious eyes and said, "The so-called way of the emperor has never been determined. This is true for Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and Mohism. The way of Master Shang is also the way of the emperor."

"Is this... the way of an emperor?" Ying Zheng seemed to have an illusion in a trance. As Luo Fu's voice fell, his consciousness seemed to be elevated in an instant.

Among all the people present, only Dongjun seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at Luofu subconsciously, frowned slightly, and was obviously suspicious of something.

But at this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to be reminded by Luofu.

In an instant, his consciousness came into contact with a vast and boundless world. A terrifying aura emanated from Ying Zheng, which seemed to be slow but was actually fast, from weak to strong. In a short period of time, it even forced the people around him to distance themselves from Ying Zheng.

In fact, the aura of Ying Zheng at this moment was so terrifying that it was like a display of domineering power.

But in Ying Zheng's consciousness, he somehow came to a vast and boundless universe.

The moment he regained consciousness, Ying Zheng suddenly saw several vague figures approaching.

There are men and women, old and young.

Among them, the figure of a young man firmly attracted Ying Zheng's attention.

"Cheng Jiao?"

The young man's figure was erratic, and there was a look of obvious surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Wang. Why...why are you here?"

"Is this the holy land you mentioned?" Ying Zheng did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around the so-called Confucian holy land and then asked, "Cheng Jiao, can this place really make people stay in the spirit forever?"

Shaking his head, Cheng Jiao said with a bitter smile: "I don't know either. It was only after I regained consciousness that I realized I was here, and... and I realized that I had died in Luowang's assassination."

"Luowang assassination?" Ying Zheng's eyes focused and he understood instantly.

His previous guess about Cheng Jiao's betrayal was correct.

Cheng Jiao's betrayal was, in essence, nothing more than a conspiracy pushed forward by someone with ulterior motives.

You know, although King Zhuangxiang of Qin, the father of Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao, was on the throne for only three years, he was undoubtedly a wise ruler.

King Zhuangxiang of Qin knew Ying Zheng's life experience very well, otherwise how could he allow Ying Zheng to succeed to the throne?
Even if Ying Zheng's identity was really problematic, neither the Queen Dowager Huayang, the Qin royal family, the old Qin people, or even the Chu faction in the court would accept Ying Zheng's ascension to the throne.

In essence, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao's betrayal was simply a conspiracy promoted by all those with ulterior motives.

It’s a pity that Cheng Jiao became the biggest victim.

Cheng Jiao said bitterly: "Brother Wang, it seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Coming back to his senses, Ying Zheng looked at Cheng Jiao with regret and said, "It doesn't matter. I will let them know that the one sitting on the throne of the Qin Dynasty will definitely not be their plaything."

As Ying Zheng finished speaking, it seemed as if he and the entire world had resonated with each other.

A mysterious force, like birds returning to the forest, gathered on Ying Zheng in a very short time.

The terrifying aura exploded from Ying Zheng's body as if it were real.

Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, who was the first to be hit, and several other members of Ba Linglong screamed and disappeared on the spot.

When Ying Zheng began to accept this new power in the world of Shenwei.

Luo Fu, the instigator of the incident, showed a meaningful look.

That's right.

The so-called imperial ways and the various schools of thought are actually nothing more than tricks created by Luofu.

Especially when it comes to Ying Zheng's imperial way, Luofu has put a lot of effort into it.

This so-called way of the emperor is nothing but an ability developed by Luofu based on the Confucian spirit that he had studied some time ago, combined with means similar to the domineering aura of the overlord.

If it is placed in a world where people cultivate their luck, then the power in Ying Zheng can be called something like the Dragon Qi of the Son of Heaven.

The effect is that within the range around Ying Zheng, the closer to him, the more suppressed all the supernatural powers will be.

In addition, there is a suppressive effect that is like a mental shock, which is enough to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Of course, Luofu is only in its infancy with this ability, and right now it is just being used as an experiment for Ying Zheng.

Whether this so-called imperial way needs to be improved in the future will have to wait until Ying Zheng personally verifies it.

After receiving the so-called power of the emperor's way created by Luofu from the world of Shenwei.

Ying Zheng's consciousness was quickly expelled from that world, and he didn't even have time to check on Chang'an Jun Chengjiao's condition and whether he was harmed by his power.

Ying Zheng came back to his senses and subconsciously glanced at the people who were keeping a distance from him.

Feel this so-called imperial aura that can suppress all martial arts and strange arts.

Ying Zheng burst into laughter.

The strength of an emperor's aura does not depend on his own cultivation, but on the strength of his country.

When the country is strong, the emperor's spirit becomes stronger; when the country is weak, the emperor's spirit becomes weaker.

And when the imperial aura is strong to a certain degree, even a glance from him is enough to shock the army, no matter if they are strong men who are proficient in martial arts, or masters of the mysterious Yin-Yang arts, or blood arts, in front of the king who has stepped into the path of the emperor and possesses the imperial aura.

Either their strength has been weakened to the point where they are vulnerable to any attack, or they cannot even get close to becoming an emperor.

It can be said that the way of the emperor is the most suitable path for Ying Zheng.

In particular, the way of the emperor can form an unparalleled restraint on the power systems of other schools of thought.

Although the Confucian spirit of righteousness seems very powerful, it will be greatly reduced in the face of the imperial spirit.

"Zheng, thank you for your guidance, sir." Ying Zheng bowed and saluted respectfully towards Luofu.

Then he looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang and others who were still fighting.

The next moment, a mysterious force erupted from Ying Zheng's body, and indistinctly, in everyone's ears, it seemed as if the sound of a dragon's roar was echoing.

What is even more incredible is that, in a trance, they seemed to hear the voices of countless people, but the voices were so ethereal that they could only hear countless people whispering something, but they had no way of making out any useful information.

And as Ying Zheng burst out with the aura of an emperor.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who had just been able to steadily suppress his fellow apprentices Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, suddenly felt that his own martial arts true energy seemed to become heavier and even began to be a little out of control.

On the other hand, the opponents Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang seemed to be assisted by gods, and their strength seemed to be enhanced by the so-called blessing from before.

This is another application of the imperial way.

Positive suppression and reverse enhancement can be carried out according to the emperor's perception of the enemy and ourselves.

The enemy and us are determined by the emperor's subjective attitude.

For an emperor, suppression is the mainstream and enhancement is the exception.

After all, as an emperor, especially for someone like Ying Zheng who has suffered almost every betrayal, there is no one worthy of his complete trust.

Even now, Ying Zheng has high hopes for Han Fei, who is willing to sacrifice his life for him and take the risk alone to meet him.

In Ying Zheng's heart, what he valued was only Han Fei's academic achievements.

If not for this, Ying Zheng would not have remained indifferent when Han Fei died in Qin in the future.

Obtaining Han Fei's academic achievements basically means that Han Fei himself is of little use to Ying Zheng.

Even Han Fei, whom Ying Zheng cared so much about, was like this, let alone others.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This saying is not an exaggeration at all when applied to Ying Zheng.

With the BUFF and DeBuff granted by Ying Zheng, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang instantly created a clear gap between themselves and Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

Back then, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was able to chase Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, forcing them to flee for their lives. But now, many years later, although he can suppress Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, he can no longer take them down as easily as he did back then.

In fact, during these years, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang did not stop making progress, but Hei Bai Xuan Jian, was trapped by love, and as the theme of Ba Linglong, fell into a state of complete sleep.

It can be said that there has been little progress over the years.

Moreover, the power of this world itself has an upper limit that cannot be broken.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian was already not far from the invisible ceiling.

After the situation was reversed, within a few breaths, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was careless and had one of his arms chopped off by Wei Zhuang's shark-tooth sword.

When Gai Nie was about to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Hei Bai Xuan Jian in one fell swoop, several snake bone chains shot out at him.

Gai Nie was forced to give up the attack to kill Hei Bai Xuan Jian, and instead swung the sword in his hand quickly to block the snake bone chain with incredible power.

The moment Yan Lingji saw these snake bone chains appear, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Owner."

But in the next moment, Yan Lingji seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said loudly: "Master, please leave quickly. It's dangerous here."

It was obvious that after being sent to Luofu as a gift, Yan Lingji had already developed a deep psychological trauma after failing to escape many times and being beaten by Dongjun every time.

More importantly, after such a long time, Yan Lingji has already felt the terrifying power of Dongjun and how unfathomable it is.

Even if she had confidence in Tianze, the abandoned crown prince of Baiyue and her former companion, Yan Lingji did not think they would be Dongjun's opponent.

Not to mention, behind Dongjun, there is an extremely terrifying BOSS like Luofu.

Even though he had never had many direct confrontations with Luofu, he had never even seen Luofu take action.

But just the hints during this period were enough to make Yan Lingji feel what an overwhelming force that made people despair was.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Tianze, with his long hair flying and six snake bone chains behind him swinging like tentacles, appeared in everyone's sight, surrounded by the King of Poisons, the Corpse-Driving Demon and the Peerless Ghost.
