Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 740 Chapter 304: Father, Do You Want to See What an Immortal Is? (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
With a smile, Zhao Feng inquired,
"A dragon?"
Astonished, Ying Zheng spun his head toward Zhao Feng. "Does a dragon truly exist?"
From time immemorial,
the dragon symbolized imperial power, revered as the sovereign.
Clearly, the dragon occupied a revered position in the Huaxia people's hearts.
Though Qin's emblem was the Mystic Bird, the dragon still represented kingship.
"If I claim it exists, then it does."
Zhao Feng grinned.
With just a single thought,
in an instant,
a brilliant flash erupted.
A colossal Black Dragon, stretching more than a hundred feet long, materialized high in the clouds.
"This..."
Gazing upon the enormous Black Dragon soaring in the sky,
it matched the mythical Divine Dragon perfectly, radiating an awe-inspiring, unfathomable power.
Utterly magnificent.
"Father."
"Today, as your son, I offer you this magnificent present to reveal the expansive lands of Qin."
Zhao Feng chuckled, soaring through the air and employing True Yuan to lift Ying Zheng onto the dragon's head.
"Excellent."
Ying Zheng boomed with laughter. "Having a son who is an immortal is truly marvelous. I never dreamed I could ride a dragon and gaze down upon the world."
"I, the first emperor through the ages."
This declaration brimmed with boundless, inexpressible ambition.
"Absolutely."
"Father, that title belongs to you by right. Across history, your legacy as the inaugural emperor will echo forever." Zhao Feng chuckled.
Next,
the Black Dragon surged through the void, racing at tremendous velocity.
The sights of Xianyang City and its surrounding domains spread out entirely below.
By lunchtime,
Zhao Feng returned Ying Zheng to the Imperial Palace.
"Now it makes sense."
"With powers like yours, it's no surprise you feared nothing amid battles."
"Your abilities mean that even sneaking into an enemy kingdom's palace solo, their troops couldn't touch you." Ying Zheng stated profoundly.
Earlier, Zhao Feng had whisked him away and back undetected; such a feat seemed inconceivable.
Ying Zheng even considered,
should Zhao Feng desire to assassinate someone,
which kingdom's ruler could resist him?
"Father."
"You're thinking too much."
"Remember what I said about National Fortune?"
Zhao Feng chuckled.
"What precisely is National Fortune?" Ying Zheng questioned.
"National Fortune refers to a country's Qi Fortune. The mightier the nation, the greater the populace, the more robust the national strength, the more potent the National Fortune."
"A nation's sovereign naturally receives National Fortune's shield."
"Regardless of my present realm, not even a genuine immortal could slay you."
"Upon nearing, National Fortune activates its defense automatically."
"That's the case for you right now, Father."
"One immortal couldn't do it, nor could ten."
"Thanks entirely to National Fortune."
"With Qin conquering Shenzhou, imagine the National Fortune's strength." Zhao Feng laughed.
"So during Jing Ke's assassination attempt, had I not evaded, would I have been safe?" Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed.
Zhao Feng laughed. "You've got it wrong once more. National Fortune's power only impacts cultivators; a mere mortal like him remains untouched. Back then, without dodging, Jing Ke might well have wounded you."
"In my days as king, I believed my knowledge vast. As emperor, commanding the realm with access to every secret record, I thought all lay within grasp."
"But your words revealed that my understanding was just shallow mortal affairs." Ying Zheng reflected deeply.
"Father, your accomplishments are already legendary."
"You've forged unification, unmatched for eternity."
"Mere mortals misunderstand such truths as I described."
"Ahead, with us father and son bolstering Qin, founding a martial empire—wouldn't eternal life be glorious?" Zhao Feng laughed.
Hearing this,
an unspeakable yearning flickered in Ying Zheng's gaze.
Immortality.
What emperor, lording over all, wouldn't crave it?
"Feng'er."
"Should I gain immortality, when do you claim the throne?" Ying Zheng teased with a grin, questioning Zhao Feng.
At this question,
Zhao Feng laughed too. "Father, do you know my initial plans?"
"How would I?"
"You conceal yourself so well." Ying Zheng responded coolly.
"My original scheme was, after Qin's fall, to refound a Shenzhou dynasty, birthing a brand-new empire. Once set, I had no plans to stay bound to Shenzhou. After unification, I'd pass rule to Qi'er, freeing me for endless conquests beyond."
"Now as Qin's Crown Prince, skipping Shenzhou's reforging saves effort; I can refine Qin further, empower its forces, and launch future wars without restraint."
"State matters henceforth rest with you, Father." Zhao Feng laughed.
On hearing this,
Ying Zheng arched a brow, smirking. "Should I take this as you dodging responsibilities, dumping all rule on me?"
"Hahaha."
"As Qin's Emperor, it's your domain naturally."
"Should you tire of it later, pass it to Qi'er; I've zero interest anyway." Zhao Feng laughed.
Chasing the pinnacle of martial arts, attaining genuine immortality, ensuring his family's everlasting life—this was Zhao Feng's supreme aspiration.
Governing's drudgery only hinders Zhao Feng's path to greater power.
With his father as a mighty pillar now, it's perfect.
Zhao Feng would naturally adjust.
Ahead, he'd dominate the world, his father securing the base, safeguarding the realm in his stead.
Ideal for both.
Once the Mortal World falls unified, what wonders await?
Beyond Shenzhou,
absent Shenzhou's Qi Fortune safeguard, what marvels await?
Zhao Feng burned with curiosity for these!
