Chapter 1186

Emperor Yu of the ancient era, in terms of strength, might not be considered very strong.

But he was able to establish the Nine Provinces Barrier, sealing off the entire world to avoid the prying eyes of higher-level existences.

Why is this?

The reason lies in the fact that in the ancient era, this world was at the peak of prosperity.

The Nine Provinces Barrier, rather than saying Emperor Yu's power was strong, is better described as the power of the world itself being extremely strong.

Unfortunately, this power is currently waning.

Emperor Yu's original intention was good.

To cut off the extraordinary, so the world would return to the mundane; but he did not expect that after the extraordinary was cut off, the power of the world itself would also wane. The power maintaining the Nine Provinces Barrier suddenly became wood without roots and water without a source. At present, the Nine Provinces Barrier is still maintained, but if one waits until this world completely enters the Age of Dharma Decline, where even cultivation is impossible, and internal energy and martial arts become mere tricks, the Nine Provinces Barrier will likely shatter completely.

Of course, this process is naturally extremely long.

From the establishment of the Nine Provinces Barrier until now, it has lasted for over a thousand years; it should take another few hundred years for the barrier to shatter completely.

But this does not mean Su Xuan can rest easy.

In short, making some preparations in advance is perfectly fine.

After all, the matter of cultivating immortality is an extremely long process; for true cultivators, a few hundred years is just standard operation.

True great powers measure the passage of time in eras.

The meeting with Xiaomeng was just a coincidence.

After inviting Xiaomeng to stay in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for a while, Xiaomeng asked Su Xuan some questions about cultivation, and then she left.

She needed to go back and digest this knowledge.

After watching Xiaomeng leave, Su Xuan did not continue to stay in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for long. He usually stayed there only because it was located in Xianyang, relatively close to the Xianyang Palace, making it convenient for him to enter the palace to see Ying Zheng at any time.

At this moment, after having such thoughts, he returned directly to the Yin-Yang School.

After returning to the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan immediately summoned many senior members of the school.

Yanfei, Moon Goddess, the five Great Elders, Zinu, Nianduan, Duanmurong, and even Snow Maiden, Nongyu, Seeing Jing Ni, and others were all gathered. Strictly speaking, these people are considered existences with names in the original work; some of them, according to the plot, should have died long ago, and some were not people of the Yin-Yang School at all, but now, because of Su Xuan, they have all joined the Yin-Yang School.

It was precisely looking at these people that Su Xuan felt even more moved.

He is not sure about other worlds, but at least in this world, he has indeed changed their fates.

"Greetings, Master Xuantian!"

Although Su Xuan is the Imperial Preceptor, the title of Imperial Preceptor is merely what outsiders call him; within the Yin-Yang School, everyone is still more accustomed to calling Su Xuan "Master Xuantian."

"Everyone, no need for formalities!"

Su Xuan said in a calm tone to the crowd: "I summoned you all here today because there is one thing to say."

"Master Xuantian, please speak." Yanfei was still not quite used to Su Xuan being so polite.

What kind of relationship do we have?

As the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, you can just say whatever you want to say or do; there is no need to be so polite at all.

"If I remember correctly, back then, I conducted two sermons within the Yin-Yang School."

Su Xuan mentioned one thing, and the expressions of everyone in the room became solemn.

Except for Seeing Jing Ni, who joined the Yin-Yang School later, many of them had experienced Su Xuan's two sermons. It can be said that it was precisely after those two sermons that the Yin-Yang School completely rose; now, the people of the Yin-Yang School do not have the slightest fear when facing any faction among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Some could not help but guess, 'Master Xuantian suddenly mentioned this; could it be that he is preparing to conduct a third sermon?'

Su Xuan's next words confirmed their guesses.

"A long time has passed since the second sermon; now it is time to conduct the third sermon."

Upon receiving Su Xuan's definitive words, many people were extremely excited.

In the second sermon, Su Xuan taught a new path of cultivation; I wonder what Master Xuantian will teach in the third sermon.

Yanfei hurriedly said: "I will go and convey this matter later, and then make arrangements."

For a sermon, a high platform needs to be prepared in advance, and this matter needs to be told to many Yin-Yang School disciples.

Su Xuan said: "There is no rush for this." He then said another sentence, "This time, I plan to hold the sermon at Nanshan!"
