...

Zhao Country's capital, Handan!

Ying Zheng has already been born, and the people from Qin with different customs named him "Zheng".

However, to humiliate the odd ones from Qin, the people of Zhao deliberately called Ying Zheng as Zhao Zheng.

Thus, from his birth, Ying Zheng was known as Zhao Zheng, and only a few individuals such as the foreigners from Qin addressed him by his true name.

Perhaps it was Ying Zheng's innate extraordinariness, or possibly something else.

In any case, growing up amidst ridicule, the young Ying Zheng always displayed an unusual calmness.

For he understood that all these indignities were temporary.

As long as he devoted himself to cultivation, his future would hold boundless possibilities!

This was because he had a mysterious teacher.

Who had been guiding his cultivation all these years.

Moreover, he used secret techniques to conceal his cultivation realm.

Even at the age of twenty, his cultivation was comparable to that of an old monster who had cultivated for ten thousand years!

With a cultivation realm that was on the cusp of entering the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Such cultivation placed him at the pinnacle even within the entirety of Zhao Country.

He was no less accomplished even when compared to the senior generation.

Yet he had to pretend daily that he was without any cultivation.

Because his master did not permit him to reveal it.

...

Outside Handan City.

Within a nameless barren mountain.

Ying Zheng stood in front of a young man, voicing a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Teacher, why don't you allow me to take action and teach them a lesson?"

The young man standing opposite him was Ji Fa, the founding Great Emperor of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty and brother of the Fierce Empress,

who had now reincarnated to begin anew, returning to the origin, transforming into Ye Hao to instruct Ying Zheng.

Hearing Ying Zheng's inquiry, Ye Hao hummed without a hint of emotion, "Your sights should be set on the entire Primordial Land, not limited to the small scope of Zhao Country!"

"As a prince of Qin Country, you should return to Qin Country tomorrow to vie for the throne and establish unparalleled achievements, how can you bicker over petty matters with the insignificant populace of a mere spot of land?"

"What meaning would there be in winning such disputes?"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and eventually said meekly, "Teacher, the Wang Clan of Qin Country has numerous descendants, even if it were my turn, would it ever come to me?"

"Sending me back to compete for the throne seems like setting me up to fail, doesn't it?"

Ye Hao's eyes narrowed, and he reprimanded angrily, "If I say you can do it, then you certainly can! Being my disciple Ye... how can you lack such confidence!"

At that moment, Ye Hao's domineering spirit caused Ying Zheng to be taken aback.

Then shaking his head, he said: "But... I have no confidence!"

A flash of stern warmth passed through Ye Hao's eyes as he glared dominantly at Ying Zheng and spoke in an undeniable tone:

"You are my disciple; if I say you can, then you definitely can, and no one can change that!"

"Three days from now, I shall embark on a journey to pave the way for you to become King of Qin."

"Remember, in the time that I am away, do not reveal your power, nor engage in any conflicts with others."

"Impatience can ruin grand strategies!"

"Tomorrow, you will be the King of Qin Country, and you must not engage in actions that are only good for the immediate gratification and neglect the larger plan!"

"Now, sit cross-legged, I shall teach you something before I leave, so that you will not be idle after my departure!"

Ying Zheng did not dare to defy the commands of Ye Hao and sat down on the ground to await his teaching.

Ye Hao did not say more; with a point of his finger, a point of Spirit Light blossomed at the tip, entering the center of Ying Zheng's forehead.

In that instant.

Ying Zheng felt his mind fill with many things.

Strategies, tactics, military doctrine, battle arrays, and more – all poured into Ying Zheng's mind.

Additionally, there were Ye Hao's very own insights from when he was the founding Great Emperor of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, to help Ying Zheng comprehend these secrets.

Three days later, Ying Zheng woke from his epiphany, yet Ye Hao had disappeared without a trace.

Ying Zheng knew that in order to pave the way for him, Ye Hao had already left.

"Alas!"

Ying Zheng felt a sense of loss in his heart and couldn't help but mutter:

"Teacher, who exactly are you?"

"Why do you know so much about strategies and battle arrays!"

"Even the Human Race's closely guarded secrets such as the 'Firewood Array', 'Invisible Annihilation Array' and other arrays are within your knowledge!"

"Could it be... you are a sage of the Human Race?"

"But why impart such knowledge to me? Could it really be because of my exceptional talent?"

"..."

Over the years, Ying Zheng had always wanted to know Ye Hao's true identity, but his inquiries were never directly answered by Ye Hao.

Now with Ye Hao's sudden departure, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask again.

He thought that as before, Ye Hao would either ignore his inquiries or disregard him entirely.

Unexpectedly, from above the heavens, suddenly came Ye Hao's voice:

"If you want to know my identity, wait until you become the Emperor of Great Qin!"

"Fine!"

"I will become the Emperor of Great Qin!"

Determined to learn Ye Hao's true identity, Ying Zheng decided to follow Ye Hao's guidance in everything from now on.

To continue lying in wait!

Awaiting the opportunity to return to his country!
