"Buzz~"
The next moment, an invisible shield of energy rose from the disc, blocking Li Ling's path.
"Your Majesty!" General Yang exclaimed anxiously upon seeing this strange phenomenon.
"It's alright, you all step back." Li Ling waved his hand to dismiss General Yang and the others.
Then Li Ling unleashed his full magical power and blasted it towards the protective barrier.
"Phew~"
The protective aura rippled, blocking the magical power that Li Ling was unleashing. Instead, Li Ling was pushed back a few steps by the rebounding magical power.
General Yang behind him changed his expression slightly, but seeing that Li Ling was not injured, he did not dare to make a move.
"That's interesting." Li Ling's expression became serious.
The next moment, the World Tree branch extended again, and with a 'pop', the branch pierced into the air shield. The next moment, with a circle and a pull, the disc was pulled into the Universe World by the branch.
Li Ling closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the Qiankun World.
The world of Qiankun has grown to an unseen extent over the years. The World Tree is now rooted in a pool of water, which exudes a rich life energy and is none other than the Fountain of Youth.
The World Tree has grown from the size of a palm to about a foot long, and six of its three thousand branches have sprouted leaves, with divine runes of law engraved on them.
At this moment, a branch of the World Tree extends into the void, where a black and white Tai Chi disc is wrapped around it in the sky. The black and white disc vibrates constantly, trying to break free from the World Tree's restraint, but it is powerless to do so.
Time passed second by second, and the black and white Tai Chi disc finally stopped vibrating. The branches of the World Tree contracted, and the black and white disc fell into Li Ling's hands.
With a thought, Li Ling transformed into a streak of light and departed from the Qiankun World.
Outside, Li Ling opened his eyes, flipped his hand, and a black and white Tai Chi disc, shrunk to the size of his palm, appeared in his hand. At this moment, Li Ling knew the origin of this disc.
This disc, originally named the 'Reincarnation Disc', is an innate spiritual treasure formed from the condensation of the reincarnation law in this small world. The reincarnation law is formed by the fusion of the forces of life and death. The white Tai Chi fish on the Reincarnation Disc is the manifestation of the force of life, while the black Tai Chi fish is the manifestation of the force of death.
The Wheel of Reincarnation absorbs the life and death energies of the human world, condensing the two forces of life and death.
The power of life can purify the resentment of ghosts, allowing them to be reincarnated; the power of death can turn the dead back into the living, and can condense into the 'Fountain of Youth' rich in vitality.
"It seems that legends are generally inaccurate!"
Since ancient times, practitioners of Qi have witnessed the miraculous effects of the Fountain of Immortality, but they could not know the fundamental reason behind it. They speculated that it was left behind by the immortals after they attained enlightenment. As time passed, the legend changed to that the Fountain of Immortality was left behind by the Queen Mother of the West after she attained enlightenment.
Of course, this is also because the Reincarnation Disc, as an innate spiritual treasure, is not something that mortals who have not yet become immortals can access.
If Li Ling's Qiankun World body hadn't been the Chaos Pearl, and if the World Tree hadn't been a manifestation of the laws of the Qiankun World, Li Ling wouldn't have been able to obtain the Reincarnation Disc.
What moved Li Ling even more was that the Reincarnation Disc, being a treasure formed from the laws of reincarnation, could autonomously absorb the life and death power of the universe to continuously grow. It was a primordial spiritual treasure now, and it might very well become a primordial supreme treasure, or even a chaotic supreme treasure in the future!
"Haha, what a great opportunity!"
Li Ling stroked the Tai Chi-shaped Reincarnation Disc with his palm, feeling excited and joyful to have obtained such a supreme treasure.
With a flick of his wrist, Li Ling put away the Wheel of Reincarnation. He then waved his hand and, full of vigor, shouted to General Yang and the others, "Follow me back to the Central Plains, awaken the warriors of my Great Qin, and rebuild the unparalleled glory of my Great Qin!"
The next moment, Li Ling transformed into a hundred-meter-long Yinglong and soared into the air.
"We are willing to follow in Your Majesty's footsteps, conquer the Central Plains, and restore the glory of the mighty Qin!"
Below, General Yang and the others, gazing at the giant dragon in the sky, knelt down with a thud and shouted in unison. "Wishing Star of All Heavens and Realms"
------------
Chapter 226: Awaken the Undying Army!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Ling and his group returned to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum once again.
"Sing~"
The giant dragon circling in the sky let out a roar, a dragon's cry that shook the heavens and the earth, and boundless divine light poured down, stirring up endless yellow sand.
The giant dragon coiled up and swooped down towards the ground, transforming into Li Ling's figure upon landing.
Li Ling's expression was solemn. He waved his hand and roared, "Wake up!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The roar was incessant, and endless yellow sand swept in, forming a hazy, yellow storm.
In the desert, the smooth ground suddenly cracked open with huge fissures, and portals roared open.
"Tap tap tap!"
A series of synchronized footsteps came from underground.
Immediately afterwards, from those gates, one by one, terracotta warriors walked out in square formations.
One hundred thousand immortal terracotta warriors emerged from the ground, finally seeing the light of day again after being buried for two thousand years.
However, the stone on their bodies shattered, revealing their hideous and withered flesh inside. The 100,000 fierce soldiers were not the Dragon Emperor; they were just a group of immortal warriors who existed outside the rules.
They had no self-awareness, only the subconsciousness of their past as the most elite and fierce soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
It was this subconscious feeling from their previous lives that made them kneel down in unison and call out to Li Ling, the Dragon Emperor, when they faced him.
"Long live the Emperor!"
"All soldiers, rise! Follow me across the Great Wall, wipe out the enemy, and establish an unparalleled empire!"
