Chapter 21: Reigning for Immortality
"Your Majesty, all the records in this thing are the secrets of ancient times, including the secret of this fountain of eternal life. However, due to the changes in the world, many of these things may not be realized. Like some of the strange beasts in the book, the ancient lands have long since died out in the vicissitudes of thousands of years. ”
Xia Jie closed Gu Jian and handed it to Ying Zheng, although he knew that Ying Zheng couldn't understand it, but this gesture had to be done, otherwise what was it to hold this thing to death?
Ying Zheng didn't think about it so much, he reached out gloomily to take Gu Jian, and stroked this item with one hand, which was older than his own age.
Even if he has attained immortality at this moment, he has to sigh that time is merciless.
Only a thousand years have passed, and his Great Qin Empire, like those items on this ancient slip, has turned into the dust of history.
Xia Jie's words also caused him to have dusty memories, and after a while, Ying Zheng slowly sighed: "Strange beasts...... When I searched all over the world, I only found two ends, if those legendary ancient things had not been extinct, why did I need to find this fountain of eternal life! ”
Of course, this is not so decisive, it is just an exaggeration, even if Ying Zheng can survive in the world by virtue of cultivating the incarnation of a strange beast, if he knows about the Spring of Immortality, he will never let go of such a treasure.
"Could it be that the form that Your Majesty changed just now is these two strange beasts?"
Xia Jie strengthened his courage, he had also witnessed the changes of the First Emperor just now, and the three-headed dragon and the giant beast form were extremely terrifying. Although the First Emperor also used it in the original book, it was only a flash in the pan and was killed by O'Connor and them.
"Not bad! I dominate the world, and the ancient books and secret methods collected include hundreds of doors, so how surprising is this method of change. It's a pity that neither of these two beasts has the power of immortality, and it only gives me a little more resources to fight the enemy. ”
Ying Zheng put away those sentimentalities, and threw Gu Jian to Xia Jie and said, "You take a good look, if you find any creatures that have survived from ancient times, report them to me quickly!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Xia Jie was overjoyed, he was not happy that he had regained the ancient Jane, but he cared about Yingzheng's so-called method of change.
Because the three-headed dragon and the giant beast that changed before Ying Zheng are recorded in the strange beast scroll on pages 7 to 10 of the ancient Jane: "In the mountain of Chongyin in the west, there is a black dragon with multiple heads, which can spit fire and fly with wings. In the great wilderness of the north, there is a beast with the head of a tiger and a wolf's hooves, which is said to be a calf, the skin is as thick as a stone, and the force can move mountains, and it runs like the wind. ”
Judging from how much Ying Zheng cares about this law, as well as the information revealed in his words, Xia Jie can conclude that this method of change must be very powerful, although there are no so-called ancient creatures in modern times, but he has a system of shuttling through the world of regret!
Just because there are creatures in this world doesn't mean that there aren't in other worlds.
And...... Maybe it'll be stronger.
After a while, Xia Jie remembered something, and pointed to the hole in the inner side of the mountain and said: "Your Majesty, this is also an ancient place, according to the records of the ancient Jane, there is the power of geothermal heat, and the hot springs gather the Zhong Lingxiu Qi of this thousands of miles of snowy regions, so as to condense this wonderful immortal spring." The ministers are incompetent and cannot find out a thing or two for His Majesty. ”
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at the cliff mouth opposite the cave entrance in the belly of the mountain, behind this high mountain, there is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, with green mountains and green waters, as if the four seasons are like spring, he was only a scenery before, but at this moment, it seems that it is not so simple.
If the spring of eternal life can be brewed here, will there be something to be gained here?
He meditated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xia Jie, and said slowly:
"General Xia, I promised you. Now what you ask for is here. If I allow you, you can enter the pool of immortality and obtain an immortal body! ”
After two thousand years of Ying Zheng's rebirth, his command urgently needs to inject new blood, otherwise how can he sit firmly in the world just by relying on the Qin Warriors who have turned into dead things, do you have to do everything yourself?
And Xia Jie is the only general he has seen after he wakes up. Maybe in the eyes of others, Xia Jie is a little ruthless, but this is exactly the quality that a soldier should have, if he still has sympathy for the enemy, he is hurting himself.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Hearing this, Xia Jie's heart suddenly couldn't stop beating, and he arched his hands and said, "Minister, thank Your Majesty for the reward!" ”
The opportunity for immortality has come! The power of the five elements, will it be far away?!
"I'll go down and see! You take it yourself. ”
With a wave of one hand, Ying Zheng's whole person turned into three black dragons in an instant, and the four dragon claws were pulled on the ground, and the figure rushed down the cliff for thousands of meters.
At the moment of taking off, the wings on his dragon's back suddenly unfolded, and the black flesh wings that were only more than ten zhang long rose against the wind and flew away in an instant.
General Yang walked over cautiously, watched the black dragon transformed by the First Emperor gradually move away, and said to Xia Jie in disbelief: "Unexpectedly, Your Majesty really gave you the Fountain of Eternal Life. ”
Xia Jie lowered his head and put Gu Jian aside, looked at General Yang's face with surprise and envy, and smiled and said with relief: "General Yang, Your Majesty still needs you to lead troops to fight, and this immortal life will have your share sooner or later." ”
"I hope so." General Yang sneered twice, slightly embarrassed.
He is now also attracted by Xia Jie's vision, immortality, maybe he can better contribute his value to the country.
As for the people present, why don't they sneak down and take a dip, or grab some water and run? I'm afraid that as long as it's a normal person, this idea doesn't need to be said to dare to think about it, even if it is unconsciously moved, it will be quickly dispelled in the next moment.
That is the First Emperor with the extraordinary power of the Five Elements, who would dare to secretly steal the Fountain of Eternal Life under his nose?
Moreover, it took a whole half of the night to climb up from the foot of the mountain. After stealing the Spring of Eternal Life, two legs can outrun the First Emperor on this snowy mountain, and that is a ghost.
Xia Jie looked at the crystal pool water, his heart was already excited, he threw down with one hand, and the black knife was inserted into the ground with a thud, stabbing into a depth of nearly half a meter.
Then, he lifted his leg and walked straight to the pool.
There is no need to undress, and there is no need to care if there is mud on the soles of your feet, because Xia Jie knows from Gu Jian that this fountain of eternal life is the purest mysterious liquid, and it will only be integrated into human flesh and blood, and other than that, dust will not be stained.
"Whoa...... Whoop ......"
The crystal immortal spring water rippled slightly under Xia Jie's military boots, and the dancing splashes were like sparkling gems.
White light, rising from the water.
A warm feeling was transmitted from the place where it was wrapped in the spring of eternal life.
Xia Jie smiled, and went deeper into the center step by step, until the spring water reached his waist, and he stopped. And the light in the pond has shone the mountainside like day, and everything is white.
He closed his eyes slightly, quietly letting the warm heat flow through his body.
The limbs and bones are all happy, the meridians and lungs are all connected, and the body seems to be as light as a feather, fluttering in this immortal spring, as if returning to the state of a baby in the mother's womb.
The warm current flows through the body and then slowly subsides.
A few seconds later, Xia Jie opened his eyes, the world he saw in his eyes became extremely clear, and he was surging with a lot of energy, and even his breathing was much longer than before.
"I, this is immortality......"
He looked down, his body had not changed in the slightest, and under his thick arms, his strength had not increased in the slightest, making people feel as if the experience just now was just a dream.
But then, Xia Jie had a definite solution, he raised his eyebrows, and his spirit directly entered the system panel in his mind.
"The current Salvation Wish: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has begun to lock down the search."
……
Xia Jie directly skipped the previous information and locked his gaze on the last line.
"Note: Dying in a world of regret will force a return to reality and lose 30% of your maximum lifespan (current max lifespan: 3067)."
Looking at his lifespan, which had skyrocketed by dozens of times, Xia Jie was stunned, immortal...... Why only 3,000 years of life?
"This ......"
Xia Jie frowned and stepped out of the Fountain of Eternal Life, he did not have the slightest nostalgia, because his body could no longer hold more Fountain of Eternal Life.
"Could it be that in the eyes of those who first discovered the Fountain of Eternal Life, 3,000 years is already considered immortal? Or rather, immortals who have not yet lived to 3,000 years? ”
After a brief thought, he put the thought behind him.
Xia Jie never thought that he would be able to live happily for a lifetime if he got an immortal body. Needless to say 3,000 years, what about adding 30,000 years of life?
Just like Lin and Ziyuan, he can turn it into a dead corpse with a single knife and can't move, and under the hands of a person like Yingzheng who has extraordinary powers, the Immortal Spring will also be squeezed dry and pumped out.
In Xia Jie's eyes, this long lifespan and a very flawed immortal body only meant that he could train himself with all his strength like he had done in the Killing City before, without worrying about being physically injured or leaving a dark disease.
He knows it.
Survival is never just about lifespan, just like the eight turtles, even if they can live for a hundred years and thousands of years, they can't escape the life of being put on the table.
Therefore, there must be strength to ensure the eternal survival of eternity.
"How does it feel?"
General Yang looked at the First Emperor who was hovering in the valley and turned his head to ask Xia Jie.
"Yes, it's not bad."
Xia Jie smashed his tongue, not only is it good, he has never felt so good in his body since he was born.
And the soldiers around them, looking at Xia Jie's figure walking out of the pool water, also showed a look of envy in their eyes, although they didn't know what kind of treasure this pool water was, but it couldn't hinder them from thinking about it.
Cui Yu's nose wrinkled, and tears couldn't help but pop up in his eyes. She was unwilling, why her hands were broken, but she didn't get as many benefits as Xia Jie, a wicked person, and she could even live forever.
"Sa! Boom! ”
Before the two of them could talk a few more words, a few loud wind whistles suddenly came from the mouth of the cliff.
A black shadow covered the sky and slammed into the belly of the mountain, his body shrinking rapidly, turning into the First Emperor Yingzheng wearing gold and black armor.
