Chapter 121
“You have restored the Emperor’s Path, reopened the structure of national destiny, and continued this path for all emperors of the ages… Thus, you shall be the First, the beginning of all. Accordingly, your Emperor title shall be First Emperor—Qin Shihuang!!!”
As Su Zhou’s voice fell, all fell into dead silence.
Armies of thousands, civil and military officials, all dropped to their knees, bowing their heads in heartfelt reverence before that emperor!
Under this emperor’s leadership, they would behold the summit of the world; under his banner, they would witness the glory of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
“Long live the Emperor! May he rule over all Heavens! Long live the Emperor—ten thousand years and more!”
“Long live the Emperor! Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years!”
The ministers roared in unison, and the very heavens and earth changed color.
Above the sky, on that dazzlingly resplendent Emperor Road, four figures stood at its newly restored beginning, unmoving.
At the sa ti, a misty, indistinct figure stepped onto the Emperor Road.
In that instant…
The Emperor Road beca even more brilliant, even more radiant.
That figure grew more majestic, more imposing, as if capable of encompassing all.
It was not that he shone because he stepped on the Emperor Road, but because his presence made the Emperor Road radiant!
“Long life to the Family Patriarch!”
“From this mont on, I am Qin Shihuang! My nation shall be nad Great Qin!”
Su Zheng gazed down upon all beings, the ancestral dragon coiling behind him.
“Great Qin shall have no state religion, no official faith!”
As Su Zheng declared this, his eyes looked respectfully toward Su Zhou.
The aning was self-evident.
Great Qin shall establish no religion, respect no gods—only the Su Family, and above all, Su Zhou!
From this mont forward…
Great Qin is established!
The Supre Empire has risen!
Proclaid to the heavens.
The Black Flag has been unfurled!
“Yan Han Divine Nation salutes the First Emperor!”
A majestic voice suddenly rang out on the Emperor Road.
Next ca an elderly voice: “The Divine Xia Empire salutes the First Emperor—now, all emperors of the world owe you a great favor!”
Then a cold and domineering female voice echoed like a fierce phoenix: “The Empress of Holy Tang salutes the First Emperor! In honor of your continuation of the Emperor Road, my Holy Tang is willing to be your ally!”
Lastly, a hearty laugh burst out.
The laughter shook the Emperor Road, causing all beings to lower their heads, filled with boundless dominance and killing aura.
“I am the Hongwu Emperor. I salute the First Emperor. Your Emperor title is truly domineering—and I acknowledge you!”
“I’ll be waiting for you—waiting for your rise. Then… we’ll see who this world ultimately belongs to!!”
Following that, four distinct yet equally powerful Emperor auras descended as the purest protective force.
At Su Zheng’s side, they coalesced into a pitch-black jade pendant.
This was a treasure crafted from the essence of four Divine Nation Emperors.
It held within it the projected power of the four emperors—each ti it was used, one emperor’s phantom could be summoned to fight.
Su Zheng, by restoring the Emperor Road, had given these four emperors—who had been stuck at the broken edge of the path—a renewed chance to move forward.
Thus, this was their gift in return.
Su Zheng placed the jade pendant into his robes.
Then, two treasures slowly floated up before him.
“This is… this is!!”
The mont Su Zheng saw the treasures, his eyes lit up.
Tai’a Sword and Black Dragon Profound Robe—these were Su Zhou’s personal artifacts from the past.
And now, they simply floated there before Su Zheng, calm and silent.
“The Tai’a Sword is the Sword of Emperor Dao. As a Heaven-grade treasure, it can clash head-on with Saint-grade weapons. Moreover, Tai’a is aligned with the Emperor’s Path.”
“Refine it well—in the future, it may even surpass the Saint-grade and go a step further!”
This Tai’a Sword had followed Su Zhou for a long ti and was truly extraordinary, innately aligned with Emperor Dao.
Su Zhou could sense the sword’s imnse potential, though it didn’t perfectly suit him. It needed to be refined through the Emperor Dao.
It was perfectly suited for Su Zheng—thus, bestowed upon him.
“The Black Dragon Profound Robe, a Heaven-grade treasure—countless ages ago, there was a being who walked very far along the Emperor’s Path.”
“Though he failed to fully realize the path, he ca closest to its end. After his fall, the Emperor Road was broken.”
“This Black Dragon Robe had once been stained with this being’s Emperor blood!”
Su Zhou looked earnestly into Su Zheng’s eyes, his voice tinged with anticipation.
“The Emperor Road broke with him—and begins anew with you. The path he walked, you shall walk again. The far shore he never reached, you shall step upon it, Su Zheng!”
“Let see it! See if my Su Family can give rise to an emperor unmatched across all eternity!!”
As Su Zhou spoke, both the Tai’a Sword and the Black Dragon Robe erupted with astonishing Dao-rhythms.
It was as if they had found their true master—eager, roaring—they thirsted to once again conquer all heavens!
“Su Zheng shall never fail the expectations of the Family Patriarch!!”
Su Zheng saluted with both hands—in this mont, he was not the First Emperor, but a descendant of the Su Family giving thanks to the family leader.
Then, he straightened his spine—even the sky could not bend him.
The Emperor stands like a solitary crane, his heart vast as the heavens.
The Black Dragon Profound Robe adorned his body, the Tai’a Emperor Sword hung at his waist.
Su Zheng felt boundless excitent. These treasures were not just Heaven-grade weapons.
More importantly—they were once the personal treasures of the Family Patriarch, a symbol of status, of position.
To receive such artifacts ant Su Zhou regarded him with the utmost importance!
“Su Zheng shall never fail the patriarch’s trust!!”
Su Zheng vowed silently.
Seeing this, Su Zhou’s lips curved upward, and he gave a small nod.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the old monk he had embedded beneath the earth was forcibly pulled up by a mighty force.
This once dignified King-Sealed Buddhist master now looked like a re toy, suspended in the air.
No longer did he resemble a noble monk of the Buddhist sect.
His lower jaw was shattered. Though Dao-rhythms constantly tried to heal him, they could never restore him fully. His hand was severed, blood flowing endlessly.
“You happened upon this fortune. Buddhist cultivators differ from others.”
“Upon entering the Sun-Veiling Realm, they temper a grand law within their bodies, cultivating the Eighteen-foot Golden Body.”
“When complete, they beco unmatched among peers.”
“Thus, a Buddhist cultivator’s blood carries the essence of his lifeti of cultivation.”
As Su Zhou spoke, his left hand clenched the void.
The old monk’s eyes shrank—he seed to realize sothing terrifying and struggled violently.
But before Su Zhou—he was like a mortal before a god—unable to move in the slightest!
“Your Buddhist sect oppressed my family’s descendants.”
“This matter will not be resolved by your death alone!”
“I offer you a chance at redemption. Let your royal Buddhist blood beco the foundation for my family’s younger generation!”
Su Zhou’s tone was cold.
Then, completely ignoring the monk’s desperate struggle—
His left hand closed upon the void.
BOOM!!!
The monk’s body exploded into a mist of blood. The blood didn’t disperse—it compressed, condensed in midair, and ultimately beca a golden relic.
With a single finger, Su Zhou sent the relic straight into Su Zheng’s forehead.
“I have sealed the Buddhist blood within your body—you may comprehend it at any ti.”
Su Zhou looked at the emperor, his voice warm.
Su Zheng nodded gratefully.
He owed the family patriarch far too much—re words of thanks could never repay it.
Words were shallow. What he needed to do was conquer all under heaven—use his actions to prove that the patriarch had chosen the right person!

Scalping treasures—this is the proper way to cultivate!

Fla lotuses illuminated the sky in dazzling splendor.
