Now that Ying Zheng had learned that cultivation could grant extremely powerful strength, he could not help but attach increasing importance to the matter of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their casual chat, Ying Zheng continued to seek Su Xuan’s guidance on cultivation matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Su Xuan had come to the Zhangtai Palace today specifically to guide Ying Zheng’s cultivation. Knowing that Su Xuan’s immense power was all derived from cultivation, Ying Zheng cherished the opportunity to ask for his advice all the more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and another period passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ben brought the monarch and ministers of the Wei state to Xianyang. Around Baqiao, many citizens of the Qin state gathered to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the three states that had perished earlier, this was already the fourth time such an event had taken place. Of the six states east of the mountains, only two remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lishan, Yin-Yang School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in Xianyang, Su Xuan had not actually visited many places; he seemed to constantly travel back and forth between Xianyang and Lishan. It was fortunate that he had defeated Donghuang Taiyi and taken control of the Yin-Yang School; otherwise, he would have had only Xianyang as a place to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From another perspective, this also revealed something of Su Xuan’s temperament: he was a homebody who disliked moving around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Yin-Yang School, after Wang Ben returned to Xianyang with many captives, some details regarding the fall of Daliang City and the destruction of the Wei state had spread, and even some people within the Yin-Yang School became aware of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The strength of Excellency Master Xuantian is truly astonishing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan, dressed in a gold and blue robe, stood quietly by Su Xuan’s side. As the mountain breeze blew, a few strands of her hair fluttered gently, and she could not help but praise Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the details of the fall of Daliang City, she, like everyone else who knew the inside story, felt a sense of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some believed that the story of breaking the city with a single sword was a rumor and that such a thing could not possibly exist, claiming it was propaganda released by the Qin state. Others were incredibly shocked, believing it to be the descent of an immortal and the means of an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Concubine Yan was not one of these vulgar people. She only believed that Su Xuan’s strength had reached an extreme, and the so-called breaking of the city with a single sword was a manifestation of his strength reaching a certain limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, she actually harbored the same conjecture as Ying Zheng: had Su Xuan already become an immortal, or was he close to becoming one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because Su Xuan was the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, she found it difficult to ask this question directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Concubine Yan would harbor such conjectures only showed that in this era, although many classics mentioned immortals, there was still no accurate understanding of what kind of power an immortal truly possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, what those who yearned for immortals craved was never the power of an immortal, but the freedom of an immortal and... longevity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longevity was the greatest desire pursued by all living beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While marveling at Su Xuan’s power, Concubine Yan did not feel much envy, because Su Xuan had already passed down the method of cultivation. According to what Su Xuan said, the height one could reach with that cultivation method was extremely high, and Su Xuan had now displayed power even greater than that of a Heaven-Man. As long as she cultivated according to this method, she would sooner or later possess such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be said that as the Eastern Sovereign of the Yin-Yang School and a gifted woman of Yin-Yang arts, Concubine Yan was as proud and arrogant as ever, but perhaps it was because of this pride that she was able to possess such strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan’s expression was calm, and he gladly accepted Concubine Yan’s praise. Perhaps there was a suspicion of pretense involved, but regardless, being praised was still a very pleasant thing, as it satisfied one’s vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan asked Su Xuan again: \"In the previous wars of annihilation, Excellency Master Xuantian rarely participated or went to the front lines. Why did you take the initiative to act in this war to destroy Wei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan was somewhat curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous wars—the war to destroy Han, although Su Xuan abducted Han Fei and Wei Zhuang to prevent them from borrowing grain for disaster relief; before the war to destroy Zhao, he went to the Zhao state; and before the war to destroy Yan, he saved the Mohist leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight—these events could only be considered indirect interference, not direct intervention in the course of the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time it was different. Su Xuan took the initiative to help the Qin Army break the city. After this battle, Su Xuan became world-famous, which was equivalent to voluntarily placing himself before all the living beings in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the details of this battle spread, as expected, many people wanted to know Su Xuan’s origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Qin state had a better way to break the city, I naturally would not have acted. But since the Qin state could not come up with a better method, in order to reduce innocent sacrifices, I could only take action myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan thought Su Xuan was referring to the casualties of the Qin Army. Daliang City was strong; if the Qin Army had chosen to storm it, even if they had taken the city, many soldiers would have died. Little did she know that the innocent sacrifices Su Xuan spoke of, besides the deaths and injuries of soldiers, also referred to the common people within Daliang City. If the strategy of flooding the city had truly been implemented, no one knew how many people would have died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan did not consider himself a good person and was indifferent to the life and death of many, but if he could prevent a catastrophe that did not need to happen, and he had the ability to do so, he did not mind taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellency Master Xuantian has compassion for the common people; Concubine Yan admires you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan praised Su Xuan again, offering a bit of flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had previously asked about Su Xuan’s initiative to participate in the war against Wei, Concubine Yan could not help but think of the current situation in the world. Although she was immersed in cultivation and had no intention of interfering in major world affairs, as Su Xuan became increasingly involved in these matters, she gradually began to care about the situation in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the destruction of the Wei state, only two of the six states east of the mountains remain. The Qi state is on good terms with the Qin state. If nothing unexpected happens, the next target of the Qin state should be the Chu state, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concubine Yan asked Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan’s eyes flickered. He had not expected that a person of the mountains like Concubine Yan, who did not ask about worldly affairs, would care about the major trends of the world, but he still replied, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the destruction of the Wei state, I am afraid that some people in the Qin state will become very uncomfortable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question: after the destruction of the Wei state, who in the Qin state was the most uncomfortable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it was Lord Lord Changping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Concubine Yan could see this problem, how could he not see it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the six states east of the mountains, four were gone. With two states remaining, there was no need to choose; the Qin state would definitely attack the Chu state first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the destruction of the Wei state was within Lord Lord Changping’s expectations, after he learned the details of how Daliang City was finally broken, he still felt a sense of horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago, he had realized the threat of Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once harbored murderous intent toward Su Xuan and wanted to set a trap to kill him before the Wei state was destroyed. After the Wei state was destroyed and he learned these details, he realized that he had still underestimated Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan’s strength had reached an unimaginably high level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, it was difficult for martial arts experts to influence the course of a war unless they assassinated the enemy’s commander-in-chief. But Su Xuan’s appearance broke this convention. With his own strength, he broke open Daliang City, which tens of thousands of Qin troops had failed to conquer, directly putting an end to the war to destroy Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person cannot be left alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keeping him alive will only become a hidden danger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Lord Changping thought to himself. Daliang City had been broken by Su Xuan like that. If the Qin state attacked Chu and Su Xuan continued to act, could the strong cities of the Chu state block Su Xuan? Lord Lord Changping knew the Chu state very well; the Chu state had no cities stronger than Daliang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Su Xuan was strong, he must, at any cost, kill this person before the Qin state attacked Chu!\u003C\u002Fp>",1604,"2026-06-17T04:20:18.105Z","2026-06-17T04:29:30.761Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
