Profound Water Grotto-Heaven, Aid His Dao!
"Young Master, you're doing great!"
"With a few more years of cultivation, the young master will have the opportunity to break through to the Core Formation at the age of 60, the age of sixty, becoming the youngest Core Formation True Person in the Qin Clan!"
"At that time, young master will surely become famous throughout the world!"
Flower Princess was overjoyed and jumped into Qin Zheng's arms. Not far away, Gai Nie also appeared...
Reflecting on Qin Zheng's swordsmanship, he couldn't help but marvel:
"Young Master's Sword Intent has improved even further. I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses the likes of us. I truly feel ashamed..."
"I have been cultivating for at least 150 years. Compared to the young master's talent, my title as Sword Dao genius is..."
"It is somewhat overrated."
Gai Nie spoke, he wasn't flattering him; it was simply the truth...
But precisely because this is the truth, seeing this enormous gap, one can't help but feel that Gai Nie's talent is definitely not bad...
Although his talent is only four inches, he can still be considered a little genius!
Now, at over 170 years old, he has only reached the Dao Foundation Ninth Layer. From a general perspective, to have achieved such a level at this age...
That's already incredibly rare!
But compared to Qin Zheng, it's like comparing heaven and earth...
"Alright, Brother Gai, you're almost at the Core Formation!"
"Look at this world, how many people can Core Formation at your age? Our young master is the chosen one!"
"Blessed by the Great Dao!"
How could we ordinary mortals compare to him?
"Even the old master, with his Celestial Person talent, might not have been as powerful as the young master at the same age. The old master is heaven!"
"Young Master, you are an immortal standing in the heavens!"
How could we possibly be compared to him? Brother Gai, you should be content!
Hearing Flower Princess's words, Gai Nie chuckled and shook his head. He seemed quite accepting of the situation; Great Qin had such a worthy successor...
Why worry that the Great Qin will not prosper? Why worry that the Qin Clan will not flourish?
"Sister Hua, I'm forty years old, I'm not a child anymore."
Qin Zheng put Flower Princess down. Looking at the young girl, who was only a teenager, Qin Zheng's cold face softened unconsciously...
Within the Lineage --
Everyone revered him as their young master, the chosen one, respecting, admiring, and worshipping him, unaware of his true feelings...
I've always carried a certain loneliness with me.
His father once told him that kings always walk alone, while only cattle and sheep travel in herds...
As Qin Zheng grew older, he increasingly felt the same way, realizing the saying, "The higher you climb, the colder it gets," and he gradually understood...
His birth was marked by a mission.
His remaining years were destined to be spent in solitude, sitting alone on the throne...
But before that, his father and brothers, Flower Princess and Master Gai Nie were the pillars of his life in the first half. He only hoped...
To preserve as many memories as possible of those we cherish.
As the ancients said: The Great Way is impartial; let us reflect on the past and present!
Cherish the moon of today, for even after ten thousand years, I will have no regrets.
Seeking the Dao and immortality is a path of no return; once one enters the path of immortality, all is in vain.
Qin Zheng had already foreseen the future; at just over forty years old, he had already forged an unwavering Dao heart...
Perhaps hundreds of years from now, or even thousands of years from now.
When all the people and things he cherishes have vanished into the vastness of history, his heart can truly be calm and undisturbed...
In this way, all emotions are extinguished.
When the Daoist heart is boundless and humanity gradually fades away, perhaps his path will be far more advanced than Qin Lu's!
When one lets go, and only cultivates the Tao, the Great Tao will open up for him...
That is the true ticket to the supreme realm!
The three of them chatted for a long time.
While exorcising demons and gathering spirit medicine herbs, they leisurely returned to the Northern Frontier King's Residence after half a month...
Qin Yingjie, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met his seventh ancestor: Qin Zheng!
The Northern Frontier King's Residence – Inside the back garden.
Inside the pavilion, Qin Zheng sipped his tea, and an invisible aura emanated from him, carrying an overwhelming sense of power...
It was like an emperor watching him all the time!
Qin Yingjie was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head. For a brief instant, he seemed to see the shadow of the Qin Emperor!
Even the Three-Tailed Snow Fox in his arms became unusually quiet...
Tell me about it.
"You've traveled thousands of miles and spent years to see me, surely not just to watch me drink tea and admire this Northern Frontier scenery?"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Yingjie finally recovered from the oppressive aura he felt...
He then took out a treasure box with a talisman affixed to it, and the aura emanating from it was very familiar to Qin Zheng...
It was clearly something his father had given him.
"This item was entrusted to me by our ancestor to be given to you, Seventh Ancestor. Delivering it safely to you is also a test set by our ancestor for his juniors..."
"Because teleportation arrays are prohibited, for safety reasons, it took several years to arrive by riding the Giant Deer..."
Having said that--
Qin Zheng then removed the talisman, turned the roller lock on the treasure box, and opened it with the Qin Clan's secret inscription. The moment the treasure box opened...
A surge of power from the Great Dao descended in an instant!
The Great Dao of Profound Water was drawn here, clearly resonating with something; in an instant, heaven and earth surged...
The scent of Water Dao is rising anew!
Qin Zheng's pupils constricted slightly. He quickly activated the Mystic Water Dao Principles to seal his aura. A short while later, the Great Dao of Profound Water above the sky...
It slowly faded away, disappearing completely.
Qin Zheng took out a ring from the treasure box; it was none other than the Profound Water Grotto-Heaven Ring!
"My father actually gave me this thing. It's Grotto-Heaven, a place where the origin of the Great Dao gathers. Using it as a place for cultivation is like having a mobile tributary of the Great Dao..."
"Father..."
Qin Zheng fell silent, his mind replaying every moment he shared with Qin Lu...
Silent care, as gentle as a spring rain...
Qin Zheng smiled faintly, as if the sky had cleared after the rain. If he were to become angry, rivers of blood would flow, but at this moment...
Qin Zheng smiled from the bottom of his heart, a truly radiant smile!
"This is yours!"
"From now on, you'll stay by my side. You have good aptitude, and you're very likely to Core Formation in the future. If you also have a renowned teacher to guide you..."
"In the future, there may still be an opportunity to glimpse the Nascent Soul stage!"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Yingjie naturally understood Qin Zheng's attempt to win him over. At this point, even a fool would know which option to choose...
If he can get on Qin Zheng's good side, his future Dao Path will be smooth sailing!
Qin Zheng casually bestowed upon him a treasure—a Third-Tier Upper Grade gourd magic Law Treasure —which, for Qin Yingjie at the moment...
This is an immense fortune!
