Chapter 2236: My Ambition

Ying Wu, forty-three years old this year, has already been the Crown Prince for ten years.

This position wasn't given to him by anyone.

When he was twenty years old, people already knew no one was more suitable for that position than him.

By the time he was thirty-three years old, public opinion across the entire country had turned to him.

He naturally and smoothly entered the East Palace, as if spring replaced winter.

He used thirty-three years to become Crown Prince, and ten years to harmonize all sides.

Now his position is unshakable. He can sit and wait for the tide to turn, sit and wait for the current Qin Emperor to pave the way for him, and sit and wait for supreme achievements.

But he is not willing to do so.

He is inviting Jiang Wang, Ji Zhao Nan, and Gan Chang An, and also inviting that ambitious Qin Crown Prince—

He doesn't want to wait for achievements.

Defeating strong Chu in the river valley and resisting the Shura at the Great Wall are the achievements of the Great Qin Emperor.

While he, Ying Wu, wants to establish the achievements of the Qin Crown Prince.

So this time, during the confrontation between the two races and the locking of the Great Wall pass, he went out alone, personally stepping onto dangerous ground.

He verbally says his father emperor is no worse than him in any way, but his actions prove that in various senses, he surpasses his father!

Today's Qin Crown Prince surpasses the Qin Crown Prince of the past. The future Qin Heavenly Emperor should also surpass today's Qin Heavenly Emperor.

There was a long silence in the cave.

This is not a simple decision.

It is so for everyone.

Ying Wu's ambitions are fundamentally unconcealed. What kind of dangers will the things he wants to do entail?

Jiang Wang is still pondering, Gan Chang An finds it inconvenient to speak, so it is Ji Zhao Nan who speaks first.

"Achievements?" He asked, "Could not our hunting of evil Shura in Yu Abyss count as achievements? We have already beheaded four evil Shura. Intent Shura, Battle Shura, and the like are too numerous to count. When ten thousand armies clash, the gains are also difficult to match this. I think no one in the world can say that the few of us are trapped in one place, waiting for achievements to come to our door."

Ying Wu has thick eyebrows and big eyes by nature, appearing as a heroic young man.

The firelight reflects his figure, covering half of the cave wall, possessing an indescribable oppressive feeling.

"The heads of four evil Shura, of course, count as achievements! You have all performed bravely in Yu Abyss, and of course, no one can fault you."

Ying Wu said in a deep voice, "But you are all contemporary heavenly prides, forming a team to hunt. Are your goals limited to this? Just to 'cannot be faulted'? What kind of person are you, Ji Zhao Nan? For a peerless general like you, could a mere few evil Shura satisfy your appetite?"

He looked towards Gan Chang An, "You had the talent of Chang An at eight years old, and now you are nearly twenty-eight years old, still only satisfied with 'Chang An'?"

He looked at Jiang Wang again, "You brought back news of the Shen Xiao world from the demon world, you participated in Fu Hai's death in the maze world, you witnessed Meng Tian Hai's execution in the disaster water—Cabinet Member Jiang, you are already a figure that can be recorded in history. Can these small fights and small noises truly excite you now?"

For today's Yu Abyss Great Wall, the Qin people have exerted great effort.

After the great victory in the river valley, the Qin people showed no victor's swagger. Instead, they were especially low-key in diplomacy, adopting a posture of 'though victorious, injured,' and closed their doors to slowly digest the fruits of victory.

This was not only to deceive the various countries of the present world but also to deceive the Yu Abyss Shura, and to anticipate the entire New Wild Continent.

The projection of Wu Pass located in Yu Abyss has not advanced or retreated for many years. Under the Shura race's offensive, it has stubbornly guarded the entrance to the present world.

Xu Wang's arrival at Yu Abyss seemed like an ordinary rotation of defense at the time. In those past years, he had come to Yu Abyss many times and had not shown a stronger pioneering spirit than other generals. The unofficial Wang Xi Xu's quiet rush to Yu Abyss was even less noticed.

Just in this usual process of defense rotation, Xu Wang suddenly launched an attack!

He forcefully killed the Shura king A Ye Ji, pursued and routed the defeated army, scattered the Shura main force, and broke through the Shura battle line. He also adopted a full-line attack posture, forcing the Shura race to quickly shrink their defense line.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Shura race shrank their defense line, they emergency built cities, continuously building the three strong passes of 'Jia Yu,' 'Hu Lao,' and 'Shan Hai,' which, together with the real projection of the existing Wu Pass, formed the initial framework of the Yu Abyss Great Wall.

During this city-building process, they still led troops to sweep all the way, breaking through Yu Abyss while sweeping the Shura defense line, and even went to Snow Country for a circle. This was both to open the passage between the Qin and Snow countries through Yu Abyss, and to substantially complete the division of Yu Abyss, and even more importantly, to promote the transcendence of Qin Tai Zu.

After that, with the cooperation of Qin and Li, the Yu Abyss Great Wall rose from the ground on this dividing line.

After the Shura race reacted, Xu Wang personally pressed on the large army again, regardless of sacrifices, engaging in multiple life-and-death battles with the strong Shura army in the wild. Mountains were bombed into plains, old forests were beaten into deep valleys, and army losses were shocking. The condolence lists in the central army tent piled up like mountains.

Once the Yu Abyss Great Wall was successfully built, Xu Wang immediately shrank the defense line, turning attack into defense. He would rather mourn comrades on the city wall than allow warriors out of the city for revenge. He absolutely did not love battle, only sought to maximize the value of the Yu Abyss Great Wall.

This series of offensive switches can be described as flowing clouds and water, dazzling, and every step hit the key points. He is indeed a world-renowned general who directly defeated Xiang Long Xiong and won the river valley war.

Qin's preparations in Yu Abyss were so sufficient.

Even without Li's joining, the Yu Abyss Great Wall could have been successfully built. After Li's joining, Qin was even more composed.

The result of this 'composure' led to the radical faction, headed by Great Qin Crown Prince Ying Wu, wanting to achieve a greater victory before the Shen Xiao war began.

The head of one Shura king and the Yu Abyss Great Wall, which can be called a great feat of the present world, cannot satisfy him.

His ambition is so great that it can swallow the sun and moon!

The firelight flickered in the stone cave. Ying Wu's eyes, like angry tigers and lions, magnified his ambitions in the flames. Ying Wu's question fell into everyone's ears.

Ji Zhao Nan shook his head, "I have no appetite, let alone whether I am satisfied."

Ying Wu looked at him, "I know, you, Ji Zhao Nan, excel in life-and-death struggles, and your killing nature is extremely fierce. Only Li One of the Cave True Realm can satisfy your appetite. It's a pity he attained dao in one step, while you only hold onto your youthful prime in vain."

"But you, Ji Zhao Nan, could you just stop here?"

"The distance between you and Li One is further, but also closer. After reaching the absolute peak of the present world, progress becomes more difficult. He wants to expand outward at the limit, every step is thousand difficulties and ten thousand difficulties, while you still have the possibility of high-speed growth, and are instead chasing time."

"General Ji, Cave True is of course a good scenery, but could you be satisfied with the status quo? Whether challenging Li One is important or not, what's important is how you challenge the future. What I want to bring to you is not only unprecedented achievements, but also your opportunity to break through yourself!"

Ji Zhao Nan no longer had the heart to inquire how Ying Wu even knew he wanted to challenge Li One. It seemed that this fact was damn already known to everyone. His silent posture indicated that he had already been moved by Ying Wu's words.

Ying Wu looked towards Gan Chang An.

Gan Chang An said deliberately, "In this life, how much wind and rain, who can get a word of 'An'? I am already very satisfied with Chang An. I don't need to surpass the eight-year-old me, what do you say?"

Ying Wu did not speak.

Gan Chang An changed to an apologetic smile, "Your Highness, I am still just a God Lin. My high ancestor father is really waiting for me to go back and drink tea."

To his own people, Ying Wu is just not so polite. He waved his big hand, "During the action, you will be responsible for sentry duty."

Although Gan Bu Bing is virtuous and prestigious, an army veteran general, and an old meritorious subject of Great Qin, he is also a minister of the Ying imperial clan after all.

Facing Ying Wu, this almost certain to ascend the throne Qin Crown Prince, any action by Gan Chang An is useless. He can only swallow a sigh in his heart.

He involuntarily thought... which side is more dangerous, Chou Long Ford or outside the Yu Abyss Great Wall?

Both places have Jiang Wang, and Jiang Wang can offset. Then who is more troublesome, Li One or Ying Wu? Who is more dangerous?

Gan Chang An paid attention to Ying Wu out of the corner of his eye, while Ying Wu was looking at Jiang Wang.

The temporarily formed Chang An small team waited for the final decision.

Jiang Wang did not speak immediately.

Ying Wu's words are very grand, but he did get one point right—the death of a few evil Shura indeed cannot make his heart feel too much excitement.

He is always in a state of rapid growth, and he is still pursuing better cultivation.

He would rather encounter an evil Shura like Zong Yan, who is difficult to defeat after a long battle, or who is an unbeatable opponent from whom he has to escape. He can learn more from it, and harvest more.

Fighting alongside Wu Gu Du and the others, who were two against four, truly lacked passion. A battle without suspense, just to complete the task, made it difficult to enjoy the fun of battle and unable to let him step towards becoming stronger.

Ying Wu is truly an extremely charismatic hero, and he has done enough homework, knowing very well how to address the symptoms. Such a person, even if not born into the imperial family, would still be able to rise from the grassroots and gather a crowd to achieve great things.

But such a person is also extremely dangerous.

Since ancient times, which hero who ascended to the top with power did not have a pile of bones under their feet?

Ying Wu said again, "Cabinet Member Jiang, the first person I found when I secretly went out this time is you. Because that day you were the first to draw your sword against Huang Ye Yu, I believe in your courage. Zhong Xuan Zun and Qin Zhi Zhen are also Tai Xu Cabinet Members and world-class heavenly prides, but I still feel that only by first getting Cabinet Member Jiang's support will this adventure have a chance of success."

He praised one person by stepping on two others so clearly, Jiang Wang simply couldn't remain silent.

He slowly said, "I still don't know what Your Highness's plan is. Striving for something hopeful is called courage. Fighting for an impossible delusion is called seeking death. I am still very young, and I don't want to seek death."

Ying Wu grinned, "I want to kill Huang Ye Yu."

A simple sentence, but the words were like thunder. For that one moment, the cave was dead silent, even the flames were still.

Jiang Wang was accustomed to grand scenes, only saying "Oh" as he asked, "Is Zhen Hou coming? We are the bait?"

Ying Wu smiled, "Cabinet Member Jiang is very accustomed to being bait?"

Gan Chang An said faintly, "These days I've always been the bait..."

The solemn atmosphere finally scattered a little.

But Ying Wu continued, "A large part of the reason why Shura king A Ye Ji died and his dao disappeared is carelessness. He was accustomed to the intensity of past wars and was confident in standing at the absolute peak of super transcendence. He did not expect the Qin army to launch a great war so suddenly, and even more underestimated Zhen Hou's strength. After A Ye Ji's death, these Shura kings are all extremely alert. Zhen Hou and the others absolutely have no possibility of successfully beheading an absolute peak."

Ji Zhao Nan rested his spear across his knee, "So what's the meaning of you saying you want to kill Huang Ye Yu?"

Ying Wu said, "Now the ten Shura kings surround the city. As long as Zhen Hou leaves the city, the Shura will inevitably swarm out. Once Zhen Hou's whereabouts are not grasped, the Shura will inevitably be alert. So this time, not only will Zhen Hou and the others not act, they will also display their existence on the Great Wall, letting the Shura know that the six absolute peaks on the human race side are all on the Great Wall, thereby making them relax their vigilance outside the Great Wall—"

"Wait." Gan Chang An interrupted in shock, "That is to say, Zhen Hou knows that Your Highness went out of the Great Wall on an adventure, and knows that Your Highness wants to kill Huang Ye Yu?"

"Of course." Ying Wu said calmly, "This matter still needs Zhen Hou's cooperation. How could I conceal him? Do you think I walked out of the Great Wall this time on a whim, or to appreciate the scenery?"

If Xu Wang knows, the Qin Heavenly Emperor must also know...

Gan Chang An couldn't help but say, "The emperor of Great Qin will actually allow his Crown Prince to take such a risk?"

"Places where Great Qin soldiers can go, the Crown Prince of Great Qin can certainly also go. Risks that Great Qin soldiers can take, the Crown Prince of Great Qin can certainly also take. Sons and soldiers wear the same robe!"

Ying Wu said proudly, "The Heavenly Emperor presides over the country and cannot be moved lightly. The Crown Prince succeeds the country and must display the spirit of succeeding the country. If I die here today, it can only explain that I do not have this qualification and cannot bear this kind of ambition. Since I have no ability to be the Six Directions Heavenly Emperor, then there is no need to sit on the dragon throne and waste the efforts of Great Qin's successive ancestors—and there is no need to live."

The words of the Great Qin Crown Prince landed with a resounding impact.

The voice of Gan Chang An, a nobleman of Great Qin, was faint, however, "If I die here, then no one will accompany my high ancestor father to drink tea..."

Ying Wu glanced at him, "I didn't know you loved drinking tea so much before. It seems I'll have to remember it from now on."

Gan Chang An said with excitement, "But even if the high ancestor father raises his cup and sits alone, drinking with no one, this minister also wants to accompany Your Highness!"

Jiang Wang did not bother with their Qin people's dialogue, only saying, "I want to hear the complete plan, and then decide whether to participate."

"That is reasonable." Ying Wu said, "Then I will speak directly. At a suitable time, Huang Ye Yu will know the news that the Great Qin Crown Prince has left the Great Wall. I will kill Zong Yan—no, defeat him. He will escape heavily injured, in a dangerous location. I will pursue him in vain, and only have to return."

This Great Qin Crown Prince is truly confident, treating Zong Yan, the evil Shura who can be chased to the ends of the earth by the Champion team, as prey to be taken or left as he pleases.

He narrated his words clearly, "The Shura race will know that the purpose of the Qin Crown Prince personally going out of the Great Wall this time is just to kill Zong Yan, establish military merit, and build prestige."

"They will certainly want to kill me, but no evil Shura can achieve this. Then Huang Ye Yu, who governs this area, will naturally shoulder the responsibility."

"Of course, at this time, Zhen Hou and the others will also try to rescue me, not hesitating to mobilize the large army and send soldiers out of the city pass."

"How will the Shura race watch the Great Qin Crown Prince escape when he is within reach? The remaining nine Shura kings will certainly resist desperately on the front line, conveniently sealing my escape route. In this process, they are even willing to bear great losses to make it difficult for Zhen Hou and the others to advance an inch. This will make me look at the Great Wall and sigh in vain."

Ying Wu smiled, "Then at this time, in this vast heaven and earth, it will be only us and Huang Ye Yu. This time is the best opportunity for us to kill Huang Ye Yu."

"This is indeed a good plan, and the timing is also perfect." Jiang Wang said expressionlessly, "Then there is only one problem left—how do you plan to kill him?"

"Not me," Ying Wu said, "I said 'we'. I and all of you, together kill Huang Ye Yu."

Jiang Wang almost wanted to applaud this Qin Crown Prince.

He drew his sword against Huang Ye Yu within the inner circle of the Great Wall, relying on being within the human race's territory, with the Great Wall blocking, and the True Monarch array, to merely try his hand.

Ying Wu truly wants to slaughter Huang Ye Yu, he really dares to think!

But he suddenly thought of the "meeting" that year at Huan Zhen View.

"West Qin Crown Prince" and "World Li One" knew each other early on.

Ying Wu was already the first True in the West Border, and became True even earlier than Li One.

Li One is thirty-seven years old and has now attained dao. Then what about Ying Wu, who is forty-three years old?

Jiang Wang roughly knew where Ying Wu's confidence came from, and only felt that the sky is high and the earth is vast, and there are many heroes in the world, which indeed gave birth to grand aspirations in his heart, "Your Highness is preparing to ascend the absolute peak at this time?"

Ying Wu smiled carefreely, "Cabinet Member Jiang has eyes like torches!"

He is indeed preparing to derive dao. Only by taking that step to ascend the top, transforming from a True Person to a True Monarch, can he turn danger around and change from prey to hunter.

But can a newly entered absolute peak Ying Wu kill another absolute peak?

This is not just about winning a competition, but about dividing life and death. They are in the Shura race's territory, with nine kings blocking the road ahead, and the entire New Wild Continent and endless Yu Abyss depths behind them.

If they cannot kill Huang Ye Yu, and instead let him entangle them, then everyone will lose in this.

Jiang Wang pondered and said, "With us joining forces, and Your Highness ascending the peak, we indeed have a chance to defeat Huang Ye Yu, but killing him might not be easy."

Ying Wu said calmly, "I still carry Ba Bridge with me."

In former years, Qin Tai Zu, to commemorate his hegemony achievement, refined the thirteenth ranked good life profound upper heaven within the thirty-six small cave heavens into one treasure, named Ba Bridge!
