Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 333 The First Emperor, Zhu Jinzhen's Confidence

"Your Highness means..."

"Is it really possible that the First Emperor's Mausoleum contains things that he brought down from the heavens?"

Changsun Wangqing was incredibly intelligent and immediately figured out the hidden meaning behind the immortals' descent to the mortal realm. If it weren't for the fact that a certain forbidden divine object had been lost in heaven, he would have been able to see through it all.

Those immortals wouldn't open the Heavenly Gate and descend to the mortal realm at any cost without a reason.

"Indeed."

Zhu Jinzhen thought so too. "We have no way of knowing what exactly happened during the First Emperor's conquest of Heaven! From the mouths of those immortals, we only know that there was once a human emperor who launched a world-wide conquest of Heaven, killing so many immortals that they fell like rain, almost triggering a Ragnarok-like massacre. Even several of those Heavenly Emperors who were in sync with the Dao and reached the Dao Realm perished."

At this point, Zhu Jinzhen's tone was filled with amazement.

Even though Zhu Jinzhen was now standing at a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, he still couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power the First Emperor had possessed to kill so many immortals that they rained down from the heavens.

You should know that he is now above the terrestrial celestial beings. According to the calculation method of the upper realm, he is only at the Refining Spirit level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness. Above that are Returning to Emptiness, Refining Emptiness, and then the Dao Integration realm.

He's three whole realms below those Heavenly Emperors who have attained the Dao!

He could only use his sword skills based on the rules to scare away the Dao Integration Realm cultivator who almost crossed over, but the First Emperor led the Great Qin Dynasty to attack and killed more than one Dao Integration Realm Heavenly Emperor.

It's like, from a school of fish, suddenly a ten-thousand-foot-long true dragon leaps out, or even the ancestral dragon battling the heavens and fighting against immortals and gods—it's as incredible as that.

Even more incredibly, the mighty Qin Dynasty vanished into the annals of history!

Changsun Wangqing looked at Zhu Jinzhen with a smile and said, "Your Highness's words have come true."

Even the immortals are drooling over it.

"It seems that a world-shaking secret is indeed hidden inside the First Emperor's Mausoleum."

Zhu Jinzhen shrugged helplessly: "I really didn't expect this either."

Who could have imagined that a story made up on a whim would develop to this point, even attracting immortals to descend to the mortal realm to fight over it? It's simply absurd.

"As for the secrets within the First Emperor's Mausoleum..."

"I am also quite curious."

After the incident of the immortal descending to the mortal realm, Zhu Jinzhen became even more curious about the secrets within the First Emperor's mausoleum, or rather, more curious about the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor in the world of martial arts.

The whole world condemns Heaven and slaughters the heavens.

Aside from certain "Immortal Qin" figures, Zhu Jinzhen found it hard to imagine what kind of powerful ruler the First Emperor of this world must have been to possess such charisma, strength, skill, and determination.

What were the considerations behind leading the entire Qin state to attack Heaven?

These all became the mysteries that troubled Zhu Jinzhen at this time.

"Your Highness, those immortals are nothing, but even they can open the Heavenly Gate and descend to the mortal realm. Today, that immortal who attacked us from across the heavens and the mortal realm, could he... endanger the mortal realm?" Changsun Wangqing asked with concern.

Although today's battle, along with Yan Yimei and Yang Ning, was enough to shake the world.

But Changsun Wangqing would never forget the threat posed by that powerful immortal who attacked from a distance that was beyond description, a distance that spanned thousands of miles between heaven and earth.

"rest assured."

Zhu Jinzhen gave Changsun Wangqing a reassuring look, then shook his head with a smile and said, "The reason why immortals like Du Zi were able to descend to the mortal realm is not because they are strong enough; on the contrary, it is because they are too weak."

"In addition to Ling Donglai's special status, it was this that gave them the opportunity to open the Heavenly Gate and step into the human world."

"Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, Emperor Qin Shihuang led the entire nation in a campaign against heaven, and Emperor Wu of Han trampled Kunlun on horseback—all these point to one possibility. Celestial immortals cannot descend to the mortal realm; otherwise, given the strength of the Dao-Merging Realm immortal I encountered today..." "All the kingdoms under heaven have long been wiped out and slaughtered."

"The human world has become a pasture for the gods."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wangqing felt a slight relief, but still couldn't help frowning: "But..."

Seeing the lingering worry on Changsun Wangqing's face, Zhu Jinzhen reached out to smooth the creases between her brows and comforted her, "I know what you're worried about. If it weren't for the immortal I killed as a reference point, that immortal in heaven today would have had absolutely no chance of threatening the mortal world."

"The cost of maintaining the ability to accommodate cross-industry moves is also extremely high."

"You've seen what happened to that immortal."

"Even if I don't take action, his lifespan and vital energy will rapidly deplete in a very short time."

"and……"

Zhu Jinzhen suddenly sneered and said, "If that immortal in the heavens could really cross realms and wage war across infinite space in the mortal world, he wouldn't be so easily scared off by me."

The strength of that so-called Qingyun Patriarch is awe-inspiring and terrifying.

His every move seemed to bring down an entire world, and even a single finger from afar gave Zhu Jinzhen the feeling of an ancient star exploding and crashing down upon him, an unstoppable force.

If the opponent is truly unscrupulous, even if Zhu Jinzhen displays a sword technique like "One Sword Immortal Kneels," given the vast distance between them and the realms of heaven and earth, the opponent will inevitably test him.

Instead of simply choosing to give up.

Zhu Jinzhen didn't think the guy who could become a strongman and stand tall in the sky was that simple.

"I see."

Changsun Wangqing breathed a sigh of relief.

What she feared most was that if she killed those immortals from the lower realm today, an even stronger enemy would come from heaven tomorrow. Even if she had absolute confidence in Zhu Jinzhen, she feared that the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world would be plunged into chaos and suffering.

"Your worries are unnecessary."

"The upper limit that this world can accommodate is only terrestrial celestial beings. After those immortals descend to the mortal realm, they are suppressed by the world and cannot go too far from the Heavenly Gate, nor can they stay in the mortal realm for long."

"If those beings at the Refinement of Void and Integration of Dao level forcibly descend to the mortal realm and step into the human world, it would be like a dragon forcibly entering a small pond. The final result would either be the complete destruction of the pond or the dragon being trapped and dying in it."

"They wouldn't be that stupid."

Zhu Jinzhen wasn't afraid of celestial beings descending to the mortal realm. Ever since he learned that his cheat system had some bandit-like characteristics and would actually go out to hunt and plunder other worlds and systems, he had been quite successful.

Unless it's another system or a transmigrator or something similar.

Or perhaps the system has gotten itself into big trouble, and another terrifying force or entity that even the system can't handle has come knocking on its door.

otherwise……

Zhu Jinzhen was not afraid at all.

"The heavens are still a world within the immortal cultivation system."

"The so-called Heavenly Emperor is nothing more than an immortal in the Dao Integration Realm. He is no stronger than the rules of the sword path. No matter how many people come, it will be useless." Zhu Jinzhen laughed inwardly, and a flash of understanding occasionally appeared in his eyes.

It wasn't until the celestial being appeared in the sky that Zhu Jinzhen belatedly realized what was happening.

Perhaps the system's compensation package, which includes a sword technique as powerful and invincible as "One Sword Immortal Kneels," was a premonition of the predicament he would encounter.

If that's the case, what does he still have to be afraid of?
