Chapter 1250

For Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they originally did not want to tell Su Xuan the whereabouts of the Longevity Art.

A single Longevity Art had brought them too much suffering.

It could be said that their lives were changed precisely because of the Longevity Art.

Their foster mother, Fu Junqi, had also died because of the Longevity Art. Although they had successfully cultivated it, to the two of them, this object was ominous, so they had chosen to bury it.

But they could not resist the fact that Su Xuan had given them too much, directly bestowing upon them a heaven-sent fortune.

Such a fortune was something Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling truly did not know how to repay, so they could only choose to tell Su Xuan about the Longevity Art.

According to what Su Xuan said, those who already possessed internal energy in their bodies could not cultivate the Longevity Art.

Therefore, even if the person before them obtained the Longevity Art, he would be unable to cultivate it. The other party seeking the Longevity Art was likely more for the purpose of exploring the Dao of Shattering the Void.

Even if the other party obtained the Longevity Art, it would not cause any great disaster.

Since that was the case, it was better to tell the other party the whereabouts of the Longevity Art.

After noting down the location of the Longevity Art, Su Xuan looked at Kou and Xu and nodded gently, "Although the reward has already been given to you, the Longevity Art is, after all, of great use to me, so this object, it is better left to you."

As he spoke, Su Xuan tossed the He's Jade in his hand away with a casual flick.

Kou Zhong hurriedly and clumsily caught the He's Jade.

Having heard about the strange properties of the He's Jade from Wang Shichong that day, and having previously heard from Ziling about his sensations after touching it, Kou Zhong had originally thought the He's Jade was somewhat special. Only after it was in his hands did he discover that it did not seem special at all.

He did not know that this was because the wish-power of all living beings and the faith-power of the masses within the He's Jade had been completely drained by Su Xuan, who had then condensed them into a faith-body and a divine body, causing the strange power within it to disappear completely.

Otherwise, even if Kou Zhong did not circulate his internal energy, holding the He's Jade in his hand would still have left him affected by it.

Finally, he took one last look at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Su Xuan said, "Take care of yourselves!"

Then he turned and left this place.

He had expectations for Kou Zhong, but as long as the Twin Dragons were still in this world and he was still in this world, he would sooner or later cross paths with them again. Moreover, Su Xuan did not believe he had changed the fate of the Twin Dragons.

In the original story, the Twin Dragons' meridians were widened because of the He's Jade, completely making up for their shortcomings and laying the foundation for them to become Grandmasters of martial arts one day. Now, because of Su Xuan, the faith-power within the He's Jade had been completely absorbed by him to condense his faith-body. Su Xuan did not want the Twin Dragons to lose their destined fortune because of him, so he used Daoist arts to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to expand their meridians.

As for Ba Fenghan, who had his meridians widened along with the Twin Dragons in the original story?

Perhaps he was a good man.

But for Su Xuan, he always held the belief that those not of his race must have different intentions. Ba Fenghan was, after all, a Turk, and not worthy of being granted such a fortune by him.

After leaving Luoyang, Su Xuan was in no rush to head to Yangzhou.

Fu Junqi had died at the hands of Yuwen Huaji in Yangzhou that day, and the Twin Dragons had buried her body in a secluded valley near Yangzhou, with the Longevity Art located in the vicinity of her grave.

Although Su Xuan knew of Yangzhou and had learned the specific location from the mouths of the Twin Dragons.

It could not be helped that the three worlds he had previously been in—the first was a modern society, and the latter two were the Qin Dynasty—had similar geographical environments. Arriving in the Great Tang world now, everything in this world was very unfamiliar to Su Xuan.

Fortunately, because his strength was at that level, he learned everything quickly.

Not long after arriving in this world, he had basically figured out the general geography and cities of this world. Although he knew where the Longevity Art was, he was not in a hurry. After all, for him, time was no longer an important thing; he had plenty of time.

It was not until Su Xuan had figured out the location of Yangzhou that he officially set off for Yangzhou.

With a hundred thousand strings of cash wrapped around his waist, riding a crane down to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou, because of the Grand Canal excavated by Yang Guang, had once been extremely prosperous. The further Su Xuan traveled toward Yangzhou, the more he could appreciate its prosperity, with many merchants and travelers heading toward the land of Yangzhou. Of course, behind the prosperous age, there were often dark places hidden, not to mention that this was not a prosperous age, but a chaotic one.

Apart from the many merchants and travelers heading to Yangzhou, Su Xuan also saw many refugees who were thin as skeletons.

In the end, behind the chaotic times, those who suffered were often these people at the very bottom.

That was why it was necessary to end the chaotic times and unify the world.

In the past, the State of Qin unified the world for this very reason. Now, in these final years of the Sui Dynasty, how similar it was to the time of the Warring States! With warlords rising everywhere, it was also necessary for a great hero or a great man of valor to stand up and end the chaotic times, unifying the world.

In the original history, this person was Li Shimin.

But it could not be helped that the Li Shimin of the Great Tang Twin Dragons world was truly not very likable. Compared to Li Shimin, Su Xuan preferred Kou Zhong, which was also the reason he chose to give the He's Jade to Kou Zhong.

After spending over a month, Su Xuan traveled slowly and leisurely before finally arriving in Yangzhou.

Upon arriving in Yangzhou, he set about searching for the secluded valley mentioned by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and it took him another few days to successfully find its location.

The secluded valley had beautiful scenery, and within it were some traces of life.

After Fu Junqi died, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had lived here for a long time. During this period, they had been wholeheartedly cultivating the Longevity Art and the Nine Profound Great Art taught by Fu Junqi, which also laid the foundation for them to officially step into the world of martial arts.

Su Xuan browsed through the traces left by the Twin Dragons, and finally, near Fu Junqi's grave, he successfully excavated a book woven from mysterious golden silk threads. The book was covered in dense oracle bone script; there were over seven thousand of these characters, but only over three thousand had been successfully deciphered. Around these characters were also filled with annotations from many people throughout history who had obtained the Longevity Art. Besides these characters, there were also seven diagrams.

That day, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were able to successfully cultivate the Longevity Art because they practiced the sixth and seventh diagrams. These two diagrams were also the most complex of the seven, corresponding to movement and stillness, cold and heat, and yin and yang.

Although Su Xuan knew that the secret of the Longevity Art was contained within the seven diagrams, he did not look at them immediately, but first looked at the oracle bone script upon it.

These characters were very unfamiliar to people of this era, but it could not be helped that the era Su Xuan was in was the Qin Dynasty, and as the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, he was proficient in the arts of Tiangang and Disha, and had some slight research into oracle bone script.
