Chapter 67: Confronting Heaven and Earth
Xuanzang looked at Ying Zheng, waiting for the answer from the First Emperor.

The only thing about him that Ying Zheng appreciated was his luck.

"With the help of good fortune, you are indeed different from other people and you can see things clearly." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

He returned to Mount Zhongnan for the Buddhist fortune in Xuanzang!

The three most important avenues for practitioners in the world are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Confucian monks have declined, but their spirit still exists.

Reading is something that is in the bones of the Chinese people.

Now Yan Hui, the Confucian saint, had entered the Qin Empire, and a large part of the rest followed him.

The Xuanzang in front of us carries even greater Buddhist luck than Yan Hui.

After all, Yan Hui is only one of the four sages of Confucianism.

It cannot represent Confucianism as a whole.

But Xuanzang was different. He followed the example of the ancient Buddha, made twelve great vows, and borrowed the Buddhist fortune of the entire world!

If Ying Zheng had not been blessed by the Heavenly Official, Xuanzang might have been able to fight against him with the great luck of Buddhism.

"Your Majesty, do you want to gather the good fortune of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and merge them into the Great Qin?" Ying Zheng's words have confirmed his guess.

"I want not only the fortunes of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but also all schools of thought, all living beings and all things." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Joining my Great Qin, I can guarantee that you will become a Buddha in all three lives, past, present, and future, and become the Buddha."

"Are you willing?"

If Xuanzang did not carry the fortune of the entire Buddhist community, it would not be worth it for him to make the trip in person.

Now that everything is ready, he only needs to gather the luck from all over the world, and the Dragon Kingdom will take care of the luck of mortals' faith.

And these powerful sages could only be dealt with by Ying Zheng.

Although this little monk is not as good as him, he is second only to Ying Zheng in the world today.

Yan Hui, the Confucian saint, is slightly inferior in terms of luck.

Only Ying Zheng can suppress this Sandalwood Merit Buddha.

Listening to Ying Zheng's words, Xuanzang smiled bitterly:
"I have already made it clear before that I am nothing more than a chess piece to the heaven and earth, and to Your Majesty. I have no choice."

"The Buddhist fortune that I have is also obtained by making twelve great vows to heaven and earth. It is not mine."

This luck is not his, it is just given to him temporarily.

Even his current state of true Buddha was given by heaven and earth, and was not the result of his cultivation.

"I followed the will of heaven and made twelve great wishes, and only then was this fortune given to me."

"If I do not obey the will of heaven, I will naturally be taken back." Xuanzang looked at Ying Zheng and said.

This is not because he was deliberately shirking his responsibilities and did not want to join the Qin Dynasty.

But this is the case.

Now, to Xuanzang, there is no difference between heaven, earth and Ying Zheng.

They are all chess players, there is no good or bad, right or wrong, just different positions.

If he really has to choose, he can choose anyone.

But what Ying Zheng was interested in was not him as a person, but his luck.

If he joined the Qin Dynasty, all his Buddhist luck would be taken back immediately.

The power gained by making the twelve great wishes will also dissipate.

"I didn't ask you that much."

"Just nod your head!" Ying Zheng looked at Xuanzang without saying much.

He was too lazy to listen to those reasons and was in a hurry to get to the next stop.
As for the luck being taken back? Once it enters the Qin Empire, it belongs to the Qin Empire. How dare the heaven and earth snatch it away!
"Is it possible for me to refuse?" Xuanzang nodded with a wry smile.

What can he do? Just nod.
He could not disobey heaven and earth, nor could he disobey Ying Zheng.

However, the world is not in front of us
And Ying Zheng was right in front of him.

No matter how he chooses, he is not stupid.

There was a glimmer of satisfaction in Ying Zheng's eyes. The slap on the little monk last time was not in vain. He has become sensible.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't say anything, Xuanzang knew what to do. He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky:
"I, the poor monk Xuanzang, wish to enter the Qin Empire, serve as an official, and live and die with the Qin Empire!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud explosion was heard from the sky.

Just like the day when Yan Hui entered officialdom, strange phenomena occurred in heaven and earth.

He seemed extremely angry at Xuanzang's choice. Without seeing any movement from Xuanzang, the huge golden statue of Buddha reappeared behind him, pressing down on the entire Zhongnan Mountain.

But unlike the last time when the golden light was shining, this time after the golden body of the Buddha appeared, it actually began to crumble and disintegrate.

The Buddhist fortune that was originally bestowed upon Xuanzang began to be stripped away madly!

Just as Xuanzang thought.

The strength he has now is all borrowed from heaven and earth!

It would be very easy for heaven and earth to take it back.

"How dare the gods interfere in my world?!"

At this time, Ying Zheng's voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a towering bronze statue suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

That is the phantom of Ying Zheng’s ancient god body!

Its face has the images of all living beings, and its illusory body exudes endless majesty.

The statue just raised its hand slightly and placed it on Xuanzang's golden body of Buddha. The golden body that was originally beginning to collapse instantly stabilized.

The Buddhist fortune that had been stripped away from Xuanzang also returned to him.

At this moment, Xuanzang looked at Ying Zheng beside him and felt relieved.

As the enemy of this supreme being, you will feel despair and fear.

But once such an existence becomes your support, you will be able to feel the greatest peace of mind in this world.

No matter how high the heaven and earth are, they are not higher than that bronze statue!
"Your Majesty...the Twelve Great Vows are not so easy to break." Xuanzang opened his mouth slightly.

He knew that Ying Zheng was very powerful and had great luck, and that heaven and earth could not do anything to this First Emperor for the time being.

But he is different, he is just a small sandalwood Buddha.

The good fortune in your body is given by heaven and earth.

Still owed the twelve great wishes of heaven and earth.

You can manipulate him however you want.

Not to mention other means, the causal backlash of the Twelve Great Vows alone is enough to destroy Xuanzang in an instant.

After all, that was the ambition he made himself. If he failed to fulfill it, the heaven and earth would take action against him, which was within the rules.

"I've said, no one can take away the things of the Great Qin!" Ying Zheng was already calm, his expression did not change at all. Even facing the power of heaven and earth, he could not be shaken in the slightest.

"Alas..." Xuanzang sighed and said nothing more.

But from his expression, we can tell that he doesn't think Ying Zheng can stop the world.

During this period, Ying Zheng trampled on the respect for the Mandate of Heaven in the hearts of the people in various ways.

This has led to people's concept of heaven and earth becoming nothing more than this.

But Xuanzang understood it very well.

Heaven and earth could not move Ying Zheng, only because of the restrictions of various rules and regulations.

Because of the blessing from the Heavenly Official on Ying Zheng!
Otherwise, the power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by the ancient gods, so how can Ying Zheng, who has not even reached the level of the ancient gods, resist it?

His Buddhist luck will eventually be taken away.

Xuanzang knew it very well, but he had no choice. As he said at the beginning, he had no choice.

The chess piece must do whatever the player tells him to do.

At this time, the movements in Mount Zhongnan also attracted the attention of people all over the world.

At Mount Li, Yan Hui looked towards the direction of Mount Zhongnan in astonishment.

"Your Majesty... are you so brave? How can you have a chance of winning if you face heaven and earth head-on?" Yan Hui murmured with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Ying Zheng is not such an arrogant person, how could he do such a thing.

Heaven and earth could not do anything to the Qin Dynasty, but that was not because heaven and earth were weak.

Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty would have succeeded in changing the world long ago.

In addition to Yan Hui, those hidden sages also looked towards the direction of Zhongnan Mountain with some confusion.

Was this First Emperor a little impulsive, or perhaps a little inflated?
This is not going to end well.

Once Ying Zheng fails to dominate the world, the image of invincibility that he has created during this period of time will be broken.

The unstoppable momentum disappears in an instant!
Even the luck that has been accumulated during this period will plummet!
I'm afraid that Qin Shihuang's belief in invincibility would be shattered today.
