Chapter 1412

But after a period of growth, she had long since figured out the patterns of siege warfare and governance, following routine steps and doing quite well.

Suddenly, Lian Nishang stopped and looked toward someone.

"Master, why are you here!"

"If I didn't come, you'd have turned the world upside down."

Ling Muhua's brows were frost-laden, her gaze icy.

How could she not know that the disciple she had trained was not content merely to dominate the outlaw bands, but sought to conquer all under heaven!

In this era, the Three Bonds and Five Constants were deeply prevalent.

Rebellion was absolutely a thing despised by the righteous.

As a member of the righteous path, Ling Muhua cared for her country and its people, so she could not remain indifferent to her disciple's rebellion.

When she heard the news of her disciple's rebellion, she was furious beyond measure.

"Master, please calm down—this matter has my own reasoning. Why not come to my residence for a quiet chat?"

"Hmph." Ling Muhua snorted coldly and said no more.

Lian Nishang naturally understood her meaning and hurried ahead to lead the way.

Upon entering the residence, Ling Muhua saw opulence everywhere and could not help but feel displeased, snorting coldly again.

Lian Nishang felt as if a black pot had been dumped on her and quickly explained: "Master, this was the former Prefect's residence—I'm only temporarily staying here; I did not seize it by plundering the people's wealth!"

Ling Muhua nodded slightly, feeling a pang of embarrassment.

She had been too hasty—her mind had gone cloudy.

"Then tell me—why are you rebelling?"

Ling Muhua asked, "Has the Great Ming done anything wrong to you?"

"Master, this matter is long and complex." Lian Nishang thought, then pulled out a traditional Chinese history book and handed it over. "Master, please read this—the history of the Great Ming. Even if I did not rebel, the Great Ming would not last much longer. When the Manchus enter the pass, countless lives will be destroyed. Now, by rebelling and remaking the world, I am saving the people from fire and water."

"The Great Ming won't last much longer?"

"The Manchus enter the pass?"

She naturally knew of the Manchus of Liaodong.

But could that power truly invade the Central Plains?

With doubt in her heart, Ling Muhua took the history book and began carefully reading.

She read for half the day, until dusk fell and a bright lamp lit up.

Ling Muhua stared at the lamp before her—it had no oil, no flame, yet shone as bright as daylight; she was deeply curious.

"What is this?"

Lian Nishang smiled: "Master, this is an invention from another world—it's called a solar lamp. It charges by day and provides light at night."

"Solar?" Ling Muhua had no idea. "Is it related to the sun outside? And what do you mean by 'another world'?"

Lian Nishang smiled: "Master, let's eat first—I'll explain everything over dinner."

"Very well." Ling Muhua nodded. "I have many questions now!"

At the dinner table.

"Where did you get this history book?" Ling Muhua sighed deeply. "I read it—it felt as if every character was soaked in blood and tears. It didn't seem fabricated."

Lian Nishang said: "This history book also comes from another world. You've heard of the myriad worlds, haven't you, Master?"

Ling Muhua was astonished: "Aren't those just Buddhist and Daoist fables? Is there truly another world beyond this one—with immortals, demons, and monsters?"

"Naturally." Lian Nishang thought, and levitated into the air. "Not long ago, I received a miraculous fortune..."

Though Lian Nishang and Ling Muhua were master and disciple, they were like mother and daughter—Lian Nishang had been raised by Ling Muhua since childhood.

So she revealed everything without concealment, telling her of everything after receiving the chat group.

"There truly are other worlds?"

"And Sanfeng True Person?"

Lian Nishang nodded: "Yes. Master, precisely because of this, I intend to sweep across the land and establish a new dynasty, to prevent chaos."

"Then I misjudged you." Ling Muhua sighed, a flicker of worry in her eyes. "But can you truly govern the world well?"

Lian Nishang replied proudly: "Master, if others can do it, why can't I? Besides, even if problems arise, I can ask the other emperors in the group. The First Emperor, Emperor Taizu of Ming, Emperor Taizu of Song—all are there. How could I fail to govern the world?"

"Master, I'll tell you—there's even a little sister in the group who became emperor at thirteen. Now, she has successfully ascended to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign."

Ling Muhua sat stunned, wishing she could join the chat group herself and witness the wonders of the myriad worlds.

"By the way, Nishang, didn't you mention the Taixuan Divine Spell?" Ling Muhua asked.

Lian Nishang: "Master, you have the Immortal Martial Art—why bother cultivating the Taixuan Divine Spell?"

"I merely wish to experience the mystery of the spell," Ling Muhua smiled.

Lian Nishang nodded and wrote out the Nine Divine Spells, handing them over.

Ling Muhua took them, recited them once, and felt her entire body suffused with ease, as if she had returned to youth, brimming with boundless energy.

After reciting them several times, not only did her appearance revert to her girlhood, but her strength increased manyfold.

"This is truly the art of immortals," Ling Muhua exclaimed in awe. "No wonder you can sweep the world with it. With this spell, who in the world could stand against you?"

"But now that the world is settled, don't forget to offer sacrifices to the Taixuan Ancestor."

Lian Nishang nodded gently: "Master, rest assured—once the world is secure, I will establish the Taixuan Sect as the state religion."

Hearing this, Ling Muhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If you receive benefits from others, you must repay them.

Even if they don't ask, you must not neglect proper etiquette.

She feared her disciple, so innocent and naive, didn't understand human relations.

Now it seemed her disciple was not as foolish as she had imagined.

"You say the path of Immortal Martial Arts is more wondrous than the Taixuan Divine Mantra. Once cultivated, could one also fly through the sky and burrow through the earth like you?"

Lian Nichang shook her head: "Master flatters me. I can only fly at present; it doesn't count as flying through the sky and burrowing through the earth."

Ling Muhua laughed: "That's hardly poor either—it's no different from the people of the immortal realm."

"Mm." Lian Nichang nodded lightly: "Master, let me teach you to cultivate."

As she spoke, she transmitted the martial arts cultivation method she herself cultivated over using the method of spirit-to-spirit transmission, then bought an elixir and handed it over.
