Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Directly Aiming at Xianyang
The Qin Empire.
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, swept across the six kingdoms, making the Qin Dynasty the most powerful state in the land. However, the position of crown prince remained vacant, so he secluded himself in seclusion, determined to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal!
The wind was biting cold.
On an official road.
A column of troops galloped at high speed.
At the front of the line sat a handsome young man in white.
"Born into an imperial family, without strength, one will ultimately have nothing!"
"hateful!"
Ying Xuan cursed inwardly, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
He has been here for eighteen years, becoming the ninth son of Qin Shi Huang, but he has never been able to activate the system that transmigrators usually have, nor does he have any martial arts talent.
The First Emperor had many children, more than twenty in total.
In their struggle for the throne, the princes engaged in treacherous schemes and betrayals.
As a descendant of emperors, the slightest mistake could result in death.
Therefore.
He did not refuse the suggestions of his elder brothers, and took the initiative to leave the palace and go to the border to assist Fusu in supervising the construction of the Great Wall.
Although.
Despite their reluctance, they could only suppress their anger.
If he shows his dissatisfaction, his life may be in danger.
This is precisely why he has kept a low profile for so many years.
In this world.
Martial arts cultivation is divided into several stages: the ninth level of acquired cultivation, the innate cultivation, the master of the finger-pointing technique, the grandmaster of celestial phenomena, the terrestrial immortal...
Once you reach the Innate Realm, you can fight against a hundred enemies!
However.
Throughout the Nine Provinces, countless people spend their entire lives without ever reaching the Innate Realm!
After the Innate Realm comes the Grandmaster Realm, also known as the Finger Profound Grandmaster.
Such powerful individuals are already admired by all.
Once you achieve the status of a Grandmaster of Profound Mystery, you will be able to defeat a thousand enemies single-handedly.
If one reaches the level of a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena, one can control the wind and clouds, split mountains and cut rivers, and behead enemies amidst a vast army as easily as taking something out of a bag.
The Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena is already an extraordinary being!
Every such powerful individual, no matter which country they go to, can be a distinguished guest.
Above that are the legendary terrestrial immortals!
Such figures, capable of soaring through the air, could easily suppress an entire nation.
Ying Xuan lifted the carriage curtain, stepped into the carriage, and the wheels rolled as it headed out of the city.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed eighteen years of transmigration, meeting the activation requirements!"
"The Emperor's Sign-in Enhancement System is now activated!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed eighteen years of transmigration, meeting the activation requirements!"
"The Emperor's Sign-in Enhancement System is now activated!"
"Upon first system activation, a newbie gift pack will be given to you. Please check it."
"The gift pack contains the lifelong cultivation of the White-Haired Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Alliance in the Fengyun World, and the perfected Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill."
"Host in a dangerous situation detected. Activate the two rewards in the gift pack immediately?"
At this moment, a cold system notification sounded in Ying Xuan's mind.
"Huh? I finally have a system?"
Ying Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. Although he had been trained for many years and could remain expressionless, he could not hide his joy at this moment.
With the system in place.
Faced with numerous crises, he will have countless more chances of winning!
My spirits lifted.
Without hesitation, Ying Xuan immediately chose to use the gift pack.
In an instant, his whole body trembled violently, as if he had become stronger and harder, as if he had undergone a complete transformation.
The body's eight extraordinary meridians are constantly being repaired and reorganized. Powerful, domineering, and surging forces flow through the meridians, like an endless ocean converging in the dantian. An unprecedentedly powerful force fills the limbs and bones!
Even more miraculously, a massive amount of information suddenly surged forth from the depths of Ying Xuan's consciousness!
These messages were clearly about cultivation insights into unique skills such as "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi", "Heavenly Frost Fist", "Wind God Leg", and "Cloud Dispelling Palm", and all of them were insights that reached the pinnacle!
Surprisingly, although Ying Xuan's cultivation level soared rapidly, it was sealed within the carriage space, and there was no disturbance from the outside world!
A system notification sounded:
Host: Ying Xuan
"Qualification: Average"
Cultivation Level: Late Stage of Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster
Martial Arts: Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill (Perfected), Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi (Perfected), Wind God Leg (Perfected), Cloud Dispelling Palm (Perfected), Heavenly Frost Fist (Perfected), Three-Part Divine Finger (Perfected)
"The life's work of the White-Haired Overlord has been integrated, and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill has reached perfection!"
"Late-stage Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena! I've finally reached it!"
Ying Xuan was overjoyed.
Throughout the past eighteen years, he has faced numerous crises at every turn, always proceeding with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice.
Now, not only has his cultivation level greatly improved, but he has also mastered the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" that makes him impervious to swords and spears, which makes him feel much more at ease.
"System, could you please introduce your functions?"
Despite his greatly increased strength, Ying Xuan did not forget the existence of the system.
He knew that this was the key to his true rise to power.
"Host, the [Emperor Sign-in Enhancement System] has two functions."
"First: Check-in function. As long as the host sets foot in famous cities or places throughout the Nine Provinces, a check-in will be randomly triggered, and a reward will be obtained."
"The more famous and historically significant the place of check-in, the richer the rewards. Prizes include treasures from all realms, elixirs, divine medicines, insights into cultivation techniques, and even the ability to summon peerless powerhouses!"
"Second: Enhancement function. All items obtained from daily check-ins will continuously increase in value over time as long as they are not discovered by Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng. Once Ying Zheng finds them, the enhancement power will cease to exist."
The system's voice echoed in my mind.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xuan's eyes lit up!
All the treasures of the heavens and myriad realms are contained within!
A miracle cure?
Unparalleled martial arts?
Succession of the strong?
As long as he doesn't get discovered by his father, Emperor Ying Zheng, he can continue to grow stronger!
If I traveled all over the Nine Provinces and kept checking in, how many treasures and powers would I accumulate?
How far will my cultivation level have grown by then?
By then, the princes' schemes and threats will be nothing to worry about!
"System, regarding the boosting mechanism, how often do the rewards I receive for checking in get boosted, and by how much?"
Ying Xuan communicated with the system in his mind.
"Host, the rewards for signing in will increase every two weeks!"
"For example, if the host obtains a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, it will be upgraded to a Greater Rejuvenation Pill after half a month."
"If you obtain the Black Iron Armor, it will be upgraded to the Netherworld Armor in half a month."
"Obtain the Golden Bell Cover Technique. After half a month, it can evolve into the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover Technique Manual."
"If you sign in and become a martial artist at the early stage of the Innate Realm, you will be promoted to the middle stage of the Innate Realm after half a month, and further promoted to the late stage of the Innate Realm after one month."
"Of course, the higher the initial level of an item or character, the longer it will take to level up."
The system's voice slowly came through.
"Understood."
"Then I'll go to Suizhou City on the frontier to complete the sign-in task now."
Ying Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the white system interface in his mind.
.
Ying Xuan rode his horse at breakneck speed.
suddenly.
He saw several corpses lying in the middle of the road ahead.
"Young master, I'll have someone move the body right away, it'll be done soon!"
The guard commander, Tie Yunying, stepped forward and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
"Go and handle it."
Ying Xuan nodded slightly.
Tie Yunying turned around and ordered several guards to go forward and clean up the corpse.
Not long after.
"Young master, there are three corpses at the scene, all of whom died from poisoning. There is also a young beggar girl disguised as a boy who is still alive. Her protective soft armor is poisoned and has already injured two guards. The armor seems to be extraordinary..."
Tie Yunying reported to Ying Xuan in a low voice.
"A poisonous soft armor? Could it be... her?"
Ying Xuan's heart stirred, and in a flash, he arrived beside the little beggar.
A woman disguised as a man, a little beggar, a poisonous hedgehog armor... these clues reminded him of the girl who ran away from Peach Blossom Island.
This is a world of martial arts.
at this time.
The little beggar lay unconscious on the ground. Ying Xuan carefully examined her neck and, sure enough, found she had no Adam's apple.
The two guards who had touched her turned pale, looked terrified, and their bodies convulsed.
Ying Xuan reached out and a suction force enveloped the two of them. Two streams of black energy emerged from their bodies and were completely sucked out.
"Thank you for saving me, young master!"
Once the poison was neutralized, the two guards immediately knelt down and kowtowed, deeply grateful.
"Let's take this little beggar with us and continue on our way."
Ying Xuan nodded to the guards, then turned and walked toward the horses.
"Yes, young master!"
Tie Yunying responded and ordered the guards to help the little beggar onto his horse, and the group set off again.
...
Along the way, all the villages they passed had been reduced to ruins.
There was no sign of human habitation, nor any bustling towns.
Half a day later.
"Young master, we have arrived at Qingzhou City!"
Ying Xuan and the others stopped in front of the city gate, and Tie Yunying stepped forward and bowed.
"Very good. After a short rest, we will set off for Suizhou City on the border."
Ying Xuan gave the order in a deep voice, his heart filled with anticipation.
As the ninth prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, he traveled to the border without any obstacles.
"Ding! Host detected to have arrived in Qingzhou City. Check-in task activated! Confirm check-in?"
The moment Ying Xuan rode his horse through the city gate, a cold system voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Check-in!"
Ying Xuan responded without hesitation.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, check-in successful! Reward: 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Rider Summoning Tokens!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have triggered the Emperor's Check-in bonus effect. After summoning 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders, the enhancement mechanism will be activated after half a month! (Note: If Qin Shi Huang discovers the Great Snow Dragon Riders, the enhancement will automatically terminate!)"
Immediately afterwards, a notification sound rang in Ying Xuan's mind again.
At the same time, a snow-white, jade-like military token shaped like a fierce tiger appeared in his system inventory!
It exudes a faint halo, shrouded in spiritual energy!
"Holy crap, they give you 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders right at the start! And you can even upgrade them in half a month!"
"After this upgrade, is it 200,000? Or will it double to 300,000?"
Upon hearing the prompt, Ying Xuan's eyes lit up.
If that's the case...
That was absolutely amazing!
If we can really summon a million-strong army, what is there to fear?
A million dragon riders marched through the snow, heading straight for Xianyang!
Thinking of this, Ying Xuan felt a surge of excitement.
"Also, this is the first city I've passed through. If I could check in at every city in Kyushu and stack up the enhancement effects, how many rewards would I get?"
He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.
If you were to visit every city in Kyushu and complete all the check-ins, the rewards would be immeasurable!
"Thank you for saving me, young master!"
Just then, the little beggar girl disguised as a boy slowly opened her eyes.
"It's alright..."
Ying Xuan waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over her indifferently, and asked calmly, "What is your name? Why are you stranded in this desolate place?"
"I...I am Huang Rong."
"Having traveled all the way here, I encountered villains along the way... Fortunately, you saved me, young master, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she answered in a low voice.
"Hmm? This name sounds like it was used by a woman..."
Ying Xuan gave her a meaningful look and continued, "I didn't save you for nothing. I'm on my way to the border and I need someone to do things for me."
"Working for me for a year will repay your kindness."
Ying Xuan knew this perfectly well.
The Qin Empire.
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, swept across the six kingdoms, making the Qin Dynasty the most powerful state in the land. However, the position of crown prince remained vacant, so he secluded himself in seclusion, determined to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal!
