Chapter 001-Heavenly Dao Imperial Rankings, Appears in Great Qin! (New book, collection!)
210 B.C., the coast of the East Sea!
Ships that were as tall as clouds and as if they were moving land set sail from Langya County on the coast of the East Sea.
Black flags filled the sky, blotting out the clouds and the sun.
On each of the black battle flags, there was a gilded ancient character Qin. On the back of the character, there was a black bird that wanted to soar into the sky.
The huge fleet of over a hundred battleships was like a moving island, braving the wind and breaking through the waves, heading toward the distant sea.
Surrounded by hundreds of ships, an indescribably huge ship sailed in the middle.
The ship was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide. The sides of the ship were covered with Qin soldiers in black clothes and armor.
Apart from that, there were also giant ballistae placed around the ship's sides.
Each ballista was loaded with a bolt as thick as an adult's arm. It was sharp and intimidating.
On a flat plank, dozens of civil officials and generals were guarding a man with gray sideburns.
The man's name was Ying Zheng.
The first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng.
Even though he was almost fifty years old.
However, the black-robed man still stood at the edge of the ship like a pine tree. He held the Emperor's Sword at his waist with one hand and looked at the endless Eastern Sea.
The black dragon robe swayed slightly with the sea breeze. The black bird embroidered on his back almost soared into the sky, but it could only serve as a foil due to the might of the emperor.
There was no joy or anger between his brows, but he was constantly exuding a domineering aura.
Beside Ying Zheng, a group of civil and military officials stood in two rows.
Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture, and Xu Fu, the eastern necromancer, accompanied the emperor respectfully.
"Xu Fu, let me ask you, is there a celestial mountain in the East Sea?”Ying Zheng looked straight ahead and spoke slightly. Although his voice was calm, everyone who smelled it lowered their heads to show their submission.
Xu Fu, who was wearing a star robe, quickly cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, there are three celestial mountains in the East Sea. They are Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.”
"Immortals ride cranes in the wind and soar in the clouds. They can live forever without eating grain and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. However, although I can see it with the naked eye, I have no chance to go to the island to seek immortality and ask for medicine.”
"Only an emperor like Your Majesty can talk to immortals. However, the immortal mountain is elusive and needs to be met by fate, so I don't dare to say anything!”
As Xu Fu spoke, the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, Zhao Gao, turned his head and glanced at Xu Fu.
Immortal mountain? Immortals?
Zhao Gao's eyes were filled with indifference.
It was obvious that he didn't believe Xu Fu's words.
It had been almost ten years since the Emperor had first visited the Celestial Mountains, but Great Qin had spent countless amounts of money and food in those ten years. Not even a single Celestial Mountain or Celestial had been seen.
However, no one dared to say this out loud.
Now that the Emperor was past his prime, his body was getting weaker and weaker. Coupled with years of hard work, he was already extremely weak.
As for the emperor, he was more and more concerned about immortality.
Who would dare to pour cold water on him at this time? That meant he didn't want to live anymore.
On the ship, Xu Fu was chattering about what had happened on the immortal mountain. Suddenly, a thick fog rose from the sea in the distance. The ship in charge of guarding the road ahead immediately sent a signal.
Wang Ben, who was standing not far behind Ying Zheng, stepped forward immediately and squinted his eyes as he looked into the distance.
After seeing the signal clearly, he immediately cupped his hands at Ying Zheng and said,""Your Majesty, the ship in front is sending a message. There seems to be a huge thing stirring the waves under the sea.”
Xu Fu rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to step forward."Your Majesty, the thing in the sea is an evil flood dragon!”
"The evil flood dragon was originally a big fish. It absorbed the essence of immortal energy and transformed into an evil flood dragon. After a thousand years, it could soar into the clouds and become a dragon. It must be the evil flood dragon that blocked the way and prevented Your Majesty from searching for the immortal mountain!”
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, and his two blade-like sharp eyebrows knitted together as he spat out a word,""Kill them!"
"Here!"
Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, immediately sent a messenger to the ship ahead.
As the message was transmitted, loud bangs could be heard from the ship ahead.
It was the sound of air exploding when the ballista was fired.
As the ballistae shot their arm-thick bolts into the sea, the originally blue sea water was instantly dyed scarlet.
A huge black fish, about tens of meters long, with its white belly turned over, was carried by more than ten ships to the front of the fish that Ying Zheng was riding on.
Seeing the big fish that Xu Fu called the Evil Flood Dragon being killed, the thousands of soldiers who followed him let out a series of excited shouts.
"Ten thousand years of Great Qin!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Qin!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
Ying Zheng, who was standing by the side of the ship, also felt a sense of heroic spirit rising in his chest.
"Anyone who blocks Qin, kill! Those who disturb Qin will be killed! Anyone who disobeys me will die! Great Qin has ten thousand years, and I have ten thousand years!"
It was unknown whether this sky-piercing shout had alarmed the nine heavens, or if this bold statement had avoided the gods, but the sea that was originally shrouded in fog suddenly became clear.
Seeing this, Xu Fu wanted to compliment Ying Zheng.
However, before Xu Fu could say anything, the fierce man seemed to have realized something. He opened his mouth in shock and pointed at a small island in the distance.
The golden light on the island was extremely dazzling. A golden scroll that seemed to fall from the sky fell from the nine heavens.
A deep and intimidating sound like a bell rang out above the sea.
"Those who enter the Heavenly Dao Imperial Rankings have endless opportunities!”
