Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

The surrender of the Three Pure Ones Realm was like a silent thunderclap, which exploded a silent vacuum in the already turbulent world of heaven and earth.

If the collapse of the Class A Council declared to the universe with a thunderous force the truth that "power is not omnipotent", then the submission of the Three Pure Realms demonstrated to all transcendent beings the possibility that "laws can also reach the sky" in a gentle and silent way.

This is more shocking than simple conquest by force.

In the legends of the heavens and myriad worlds, the Three Pure Realms is not a powerful force, but a sacred symbol.

It represents a state of mind, a peak of "Tao" that transcends matter, energy, and cause and effect.

Countless monks have spent their entire lives seeking to step into the legendary "Gate of the Three Pure Ones" and listen to the "Great Way of Sanqing" that comes from the origin of the universe.

Now, this door has been opened to the Qin Dynasty.

When the news reached the Qin fleet, the entire fleet fell into a state of almost fanatical excitement.

From the lowest-ranking soldiers to important officials like Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, and Li Si, all felt an unprecedented sense of pride and glory.

The Majesty they follow is not only a heroic ruler who expands territory, but also a saint who can communicate with the great Dao of heaven and earth!

"Your Majesty, this is truly the destiny of Heaven!" Li Si was so moved in the council hall that tears welled up in his eyes. "Throughout history, countless emperors have called themselves the Son of Heaven, but were merely rulers of the mortal world. Only Your Majesty, with a mortal body, performs the work of the gods, and establishes the order of the heavens with human laws. Such achievements are unprecedented and will be hard to match!"

Meng Tian's face was filled with awe. "I used to think that Your Majesty's power lay in the sweeping might of your cavalry and the strictness of your laws. Today, I realize that Your Majesty's greatness lies in your ability to convince the people with reason and transform hearts with law. What kind of person is the Three Pure Ones? To be willing to legislate for our Great Qin! This... this is no longer conquest, but... enlightenment!"

Ying Zheng sat upright on the throne, listening to his subjects' praise, his face remaining calm. He simply waved his hand, signaling for silence.

"You are flattering me." His voice was calm and steady. "The return of the Three Pure Ones is not my own achievement alone, but the result of the laws of the Great Qin itself, which embody the utmost justice and truth. I am merely the executor and guardian of this law. What I seek is not the honor of one person, nor the glory of one clan, but eternal peace and the unification of all laws."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd in the hall, his expression unmistakable in his authority. "Immediately issue an order, all troops, to prepare. With the Three Pure Lands' allegiance, our Great Qin will have gained another territory. However, the wider the territory, the clearer the laws must be."

"I will personally travel to the Three Pure Realms to discuss with the Three Pure Realms the establishment of the 'Qin Law - Dao Realm Chapter'. This law will not only govern the Three Pure Realms, but will also establish an insurmountable standard for all cultivators and seekers of the Dao throughout the world!"

"According to the order!"

The ministers accepted the order with a roar, their eyes filled with infinite longing for the future.

……

The Sanqing Realm is different from the fairy-like aura and jade-like buildings imagined by the outside world.

Here, there are no physical planets and no brilliant galaxies.

It is a "conceptual" existence independent of the universe and time. Stepping into this place, it feels like being in a nothingness at the beginning of chaos and the beginning of the universe.

There is no up or down, left or right, no past or future, only the endless and pure breath of "Tao" flowing.

The three Taoist masters, Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing, welcomed Ying Zheng, Li Si and a team of red-armored guards into the core of this void.

"Your Majesty, this is the root of our Three Purities Realm, named 'Daoyuan.'" Taoist Taiqing pointed to this void, a hint of awe in his tone. "All dharmas originate from this, and all paths return here. Your Majesty, if you wish to legislate for the Dao, this place will be the best 'code of law.'"

Ying Zheng looked around. He was not a cultivator, so he could not perceive the omnipresent "Tao" as clearly as Li Si.

But his imperial heart, which has integrated the "Tao Fruit", the origin of the universe, can understand the essence of this space better than anyone else.

"Order." Ying Zheng spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the void, as if carrying some strange rhythm. "What I see is order. Within chaos, there is order. Tao follows nature, and within nature, there are laws. The 'Tao' you pursue is, in essence, the search for the most fundamental, most basic order in the universe."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Taoist Master Yuqing, and he seemed to be thinking: "Your Majesty's intention is..."

"What I'm saying is," Ying Zheng turned, his gaze piercing, staring directly at the three Dao Masters, "that what you call 'detachment', what you call 'freedom', isn't truly lawlessness. Your actions still adhere to certain rules of 'Dao'. You don't kill because 'life' is the foundation of Dao; you don't act recklessly because 'action' must conform to 'reason'. These, in themselves, are a kind of invisible 'law'."

"What I want to do is to transform this invisible 'law' into a tangible 'rule'. Let all seekers in the world understand that the ultimate goal of cultivation is not to follow one's heart, but to 'follow one's heart without breaking the rules'. This 'rule' is the law of the Great Qin!"

The Shangqing Daoist Master frowned and raised his doubts, "Your Majesty, the paths of cultivators are diverse and varied. There are body cultivators who prove their Dao through strength; there are sword cultivators who break all laws with a single strike; there are formation masters who create their own worlds within their formations; and there are demonic cultivators who prove their Dao through slaughter and feed on emotions. Their 'Paths' are completely different, even conflicting. How can Your Majesty bind them all with a single law?"

This is the core of the problem.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath, his imperial heart in motion, and the Dao Fruit shone brightly. He extended his finger and lightly tapped the air.

In an instant, countless points of light began to emerge from this chaotic "source of the Tao." Each point of light represented a living being, a method of cultivation, and a trajectory of the "Tao."

"Look."

Ying Zheng's voice rang out.

I saw those spots of light, although their trajectories were different, some straight, some curved, some fast, some slow, but they all followed the most basic laws of the universe during their movement.

They cannot be created out of thin air, cannot be completely annihilated, and cannot reverse cause and effect. Their "Way", no matter how unorthodox, cannot escape the framework of these most fundamental "Heavenly Ways".

"This is 'All Laws Have One Origin.'" Ying Zheng's voice carried a perceptive authority. "My laws do not restrict how you 'seek the Way,' nor do they interfere with which 'path' you take. What I restrict are the things you cannot do on that 'path.'"

"For example, a body cultivator can temper their own body, but they cannot use the flesh and blood of billions of lives as a furnace. This is the 'Anti-Slaughter Law'."

"Sword cultivators can cut through anything, but they cannot sever the foundation of a civilization's inheritance. This is the 'anti-genocide law'."

"A formation master can set up formations to trap the enemy, but he cannot trap all the living beings in an entire star field within the formation and refine them for his own use. This is the 'Anti-Slavery Law'."

"Demon cultivators can absorb emotions, but they cannot actively create large-scale fear, despair, and pain to 'cultivate' emotions. This is the 'Anti-Anti-Humanity Law'."
