Infiltrating the world of cultivation

"We are of the same root, why are we so eager to fight each other?"

The pressure emanating from Ying Zheng was suffocating the dynasty, but the dynasty remained unwavering, determined not to lose face.

"How come this wolf has the essence blood of the Celestial Hound? What is your relationship with Erlang Shen?"

Ying Zheng looked at Little Grey with great interest. Regardless of whether what Wang Chao said was true or not, at least the mark on Little Grey's body was undeniable.

He had heard about the mad dog's ferocity; it was unlikely to easily give its life essence to another person.

"I met Yang Jian in the Tang Empire, but his mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused."

"Your son Ying Su and I are good brothers. I even let him win in our previous martial arts match."

To increase his chances of survival, Wang Chao offered up every bargaining chip he could think of.

"Is my Great Qin here?"

Ying Zheng's gaze was deep, which stirred up his memories.

"Don't you know what kind of person your youngest son is? He's squandered it all."

The dynasty unearthed historical records and educated the King of Qin on the history after the Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng heard that the nomadic tribes of the Yuan Dynasty were moving south, he lamented that the Han bloodline was no longer safe.

Upon hearing of the Manchu conquest of China, they predicted that China would be destroyed by them; upon hearing of the Opium War and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance...

The entire dynasty could feel the palpable killing intent emanating from Ying Zheng.

From the national awakening during the War of Resistance against Japan, to the civil war between the two parties, and finally to the Chinese nation realizing the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation, Qin Shi Huang gradually calmed down.

"Back then, I was part of a group searching for medicinal herbs when a monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth dumped me here on the way."

At that time, this place was still a chaotic world of seven kingdoms at war. The two worlds were strikingly similar. When I quelled the war and unified the country, I came into contact with the immortals of this world, who are what people call cultivators.

I went through many troubles to finally find the Northern Region Sword Sect, but the mountain guardian said that I have no talent or spiritual root and will never be able to walk the path to immortality.

I do not believe that there is anything in this world that I cannot accomplish.

I have studied many cultivation methods, abandoned the Golden Elixir Path, and pioneered a brand new path on my own.

"Nowadays, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can't do anything to me."

When the dynasty heard about Ying Zheng's plight, it was filled with sighs and emotion. He truly deserved to be called the greatest emperor of all time. Even without spiritual roots, he was able to endure to this extent.

Although his own five elemental spiritual roots were useless, they were still far superior to those of King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Ultimately, the dynasty obtained the methods for cultivation below the Foundation Establishment stage from Ying Zheng.

According to Ying Zheng, everyone has their own path. If everything is handed over to the dynasty, it will be difficult for those who come after to surpass it.

However, Ying Zheng also explained to the dynasty not to trust those Slovaks, as their motives were impure and they were very likely using the Earth.

After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Wang Chao fell into deep thought. Although he had also suspected the Slovaks, his vision and perspective were still too shallow, and he could not see through many problems.

At the dynasty's request, Ying Zheng released Li San and Zhang Hu.

Wang Chao had no compassion. He had made a promise to Li San, so he naturally had to keep it. The life and death of others were none of Wang Chao's business.

Compared to these strangers, the dynasty naturally favored Ying Zheng.

As for why Ying Zheng existed for tens of thousands of years, and whether he was practicing demonic arts, the dynasty did not ask any further questions.

It's enough to leave it at that; some things don't need to be investigated thoroughly.

"Buzz!"

The dynasty was teleported away by Ying Zheng. His vision was completely dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on the first floor of the nine-story ancient pagoda.

"Brother, has there been any news from our hometown?"

The dynasty knew that the space where Ying Zheng was located was probably another small world.

Opening his parents' chat window, he found mostly concerned greetings. The level of technology on Earth offered him negligible help, so it was essentially a one-way transmission of information between the dynasties.

There was one more video left, which Wang Chao clicked on.

"You little rascal, why haven't you sent any documents home in so long?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao frowned. What was wrong with his brother? He was usually very composed; these were words he didn't seem like he would say.

The time ratio between Qiling Star and Earth is ten to one. Only a few days have passed on Earth, so how could it be a long time?

Although it was a bit strange, Wang Chao didn't take it seriously. Maybe he was just missing himself too much.

I was treated like a baby from a young age and spoiled. In their eyes, I am a child who will never grow up.

"Safety first. Take good care of yourself over there. Remember how much you loved swimming when you were little? When you come back, we'll swim across the Yangtze River!"

"Keep in touch with family promptly, and send back any information immediately. The polar bear next door, and even that eagle next door, are already seeing people flying on planks; I don't want to fall too far behind."

The video ended with a perfectly normal conversation, nothing amiss, but Wang Chao remained silent.

Because he can't swim at all!

When he was a child, he went back to his hometown in the countryside and fell into the pond in front of the house. If it weren't for a few people using bamboo poles to pull him out, he probably wouldn't be here today.

For a long time after that, whenever Wang Chao traveled by train and saw a lake that was even slightly large, he would exclaim that it was the sea.

It wasn't until he joined the special forces that Wang Chao overcame his fear and learned to swim.

But what does it mean that my brother said he loved swimming the most when he was a child? He couldn't possibly have forgotten that Wang Chao was afraid of water when he was a child.

Therefore, there is only one truth: the older brother said these words against his will.

Moreover, the forces monitoring him must be very powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't have been afraid to use Morse code.

Wang Chao's gaze sharpened. What exactly happened at home?

My brother works for a relevant government department, so if he has a problem, my parents couldn't possibly not have noticed.

That family is still here, recording videos for themselves; the answer behind it is self-evident!

Something bad has happened at home; it's very likely that the entire country has been taken over by the Slovaks!

The three undercover agents in Russia, North America, and the EU are very likely to face the same fate.

Since something happened at home, what role does the nine-story pagoda play?

Could it be that the nine-story pagoda was built by the Slovakians?

Perhaps the nine-story pagoda was used as a remote transmission tool.

Currently, the Slovaks do not have the capability to attack Qiling Star, so they want to learn about Qiling Star through four undercover agents, including Wang Chao.

In other words, the nine-story pagoda wasn't there to help him at all. It's very likely that the nine-story pagoda was a means for the Slovaks to control the four undercover agents!

This also explains why Yang Jian and Ying Zheng did not have in-depth conversations with him; clearly, they must have known something!

No wonder the Nine-Story Ancient Pagoda wanted to find the Elixir of Immortality on its own; it was very likely instructed by the Slovaks!

Perhaps the reason the King of Qin didn't give him the complete cultivation method wasn't because everyone has their own path, but because he sensed something!
