Chapter 499

Seventy or eighty years, for people of this era, with a shorter lifespan, could even be considered two generations.

By the time seventy or eighty years passed, even if Ying Zheng died of old age, I am afraid that their descendants would have long forgotten the six states of the past and forgotten about the revenge.

Although it seems that the stability of the Qin State is based on the premise that Ying Zheng is still alive, it can't be helped that Ying Zheng can really live for a long time!

"Your Majesty～～!"

A low voice sounded.

A figure appeared in the shadow of the lamp, bowing slightly.

Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand and stopped handling government affairs.

Reaching out, an invisible force was released from his hand, taking the scroll held by the person into his palm.

Although this method had been displayed by the Emperor long ago, this member of the Shadow Secret Guard was still awestruck when seeing it again.

The Emperor's strength had probably reached a peak.

If it weren't for his powerful strength, it would be impossible to achieve this feat of taking objects from a distance!

Ying Zheng didn't care what the Shadow Secret Guard was thinking, placed the scroll on the desk, and then opened it.

The content on this scroll was not much.

It only said one thing.

That is, the Mirage, built jointly by the Mohist School and the Gongshu Family, had been completed.

Although the requirements for the Mirage were extremely high, for the Mohist School and the Gongshu Family, it was not something difficult to build. Especially after the two factions joined forces, in order to suppress their competitors, they each used all their skills, so the completion speed of the Mirage was faster than imagined.

After seeing the news of the Mirage's completion, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of someone again.

It was precisely because of that person that Ying Zheng ordered the construction of the Mirage.

"Has the National Master not come out of seclusion yet?"

Ying Zheng asked the Shadow Secret Guard.

"No!"

The Shadow Secret Guard answered truthfully.

After receiving a definitive answer, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Su Xuan's delay in coming out of seclusion was a matter that made Ying Zheng quite disappointed. He hadn't discussed the Dao with Su Xuan or listened to Su Xuan's teachings for a long time. But there was no way, who told Su Xuan's strength to be so profound? For such a master, it was not strange for the seclusion time to be long. This instead proved that Su Xuan probably had new gains, and in order to transform these gains into substantial strength, he would go into seclusion.

And for many ministers in the court, Su Xuan, the National Master, being in seclusion and not coming out, was actually a good thing.

When Ying Zheng appointed Su Xuan as the National Master that day, many officials from the Confucian School strongly opposed it. In the end, Ying Zheng found handles on all these people, dismissed their official positions, and dealt with them according to their crimes. Although the others were more sensible and did not oppose this matter, some people were still unhappy in their hearts.

In their view, the Qin State had one emperor, which was enough, and did not need a high-ranking National Master.

Especially according to the imperial edict issued by Ying Zheng, the status of Su Xuan, the National Master, was extremely noble.

Seeing him is like seeing the Emperor!

After Su Xuan became the National Master, many ministers worried that Su Xuan would use the identity of the National Master to disrupt the court. As a result, Su Xuan was more low-key than imagined. Now, he simply went into seclusion and didn't come out. To this day, they hadn't heard Su Xuan's name for more than a year.

This was exactly what many ministers hoped to see. In fact, they even hoped that Su Xuan would stay in seclusion and not come out.

There were even more vicious ones who even cursed Su Xuan to die in seclusion in their hearts.

So, did Su Xuan die?

Obviously, it didn't reach that level.

His seclusion this time was mainly to refine immortal spiritual energy, not to seek a breakthrough, and going into a death seclusion for a final struggle was basically without any danger.

Lishan, the headquarters of the Yin-Yang School, in the Taiwei Purple Palace.

On the high platform, Su Xuan sat cross-legged, maintaining this state for more than a year. Similarly, the bronze door of the Taiwei Purple Palace had also been closed for more than a year.

Basically, every few days, Yan Fei, Moon God, and others would come to the door.

Although they knew that with Su Xuan's strength, he had reached the realm of fasting and could absorb the power of heaven and earth to nourish himself, and it would be no problem even if he didn't eat or drink for a long time, they were still a bit worried about Su Xuan having an accident.

Fortunately, at the door, they sensed Su Xuan's aura.

Su Xuan's aura was not withered or low; on the contrary, it was increasingly vigorous, like the scorching sun in summer.

Even through the bronze door, they could still feel Su Xuan's strength.

This also made them feel a lot more at ease. It seemed that this time in seclusion, Lord Master Xuantian had no problems, but his strength had become increasingly powerful.

Besides that, there was another thing, which was that for more than a year, the Yin-Yang School had a group of new visitors.

They were... the people of Shushan.

Hundreds of years ago, after the Yin-Yang School broke away from the Daoist School, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Daoist School, they fled to the Shu region, bewitched some Shushan people to rebel, and subsequently obtained part of the Shushan inheritance.

It was precisely because of this part of the Shushan inheritance that the Yin-Yang School could be considered to have walked its own path and could compete with the Daoist School.

In the past, the Shushan tribe hated the Yin-Yang School to the bone, and the two factions had deep grudges.

But as Su Xuan stepped onto Shushan and helped the Shushan tribe solve the hidden danger of Chi You, the attitude of the Shushan tribe toward Su Xuan and the Yin-Yang School changed dramatically. Especially Xiao Li, who was transformed by the Goddess's Tears, before leaving, she even told the Shushan tribesmen that they didn't need to be trapped on the mountain anymore, and that they had already completed their mission.

Because of these words, Yu Jun finally decided to let the tribesmen come out. And because the Shushan people and the Yin-Yang School people established a friendship during the trip to Many Loulan, and they knew the status of the Yin-Yang School in the Qin State, and the Sect Master Su Xuan was the National Master of the Qin State.

Therefore, for the past year, many Yuyuan guards led by Yu Jun often visited the Yin-Yang School and took the initiative to communicate with the Yin-Yang School.

For the communication with Shushan, the Yin-Yang School naturally welcomed it.

For some reasons, the relationship between the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School was destined to be unable to be repaired. Even if the Daoist School treated Su Xuan like the most honorable guest, that was only because of the forced respect brought by Su Xuan's powerful strength.

If Su Xuan didn't have that powerful strength that could destroy the Daoist School at any time, the Daoist School people wouldn't respect Su Xuan, but would only think about killing Su Xuan and destroying the Yin-Yang School.

So, don't even think about things like communicating and discussing the Dao with the Daoist School.

Although the Yin-Yang School people didn't care much about this matter, after all, they had the honor of listening to Lord Master Xuantian's lecture twice, and Lord Master Xuantian directly taught them a new path of cultivation.

Those things of the Daoist School were already outdated.

The Daoist School people were just a group of old antiques who stuck to their old ways.

Perhaps according to the cultivation method of the Daoist School, one could cultivate to the realm of Heaven and Man, but you must know that the cultivation path taught by Lord Master Xuantian had a realm after Heaven and Man, and if cultivated to the extreme, one could become an immortal!

However, that was just their view of the Daoist School.

Facing Shushan's initiative to come and communicate, the Yin-Yang School naturally had no reason to turn them away.

In any case, part of the Yin-Yang School's inheritance was derived from Shushan, and Shushan was also an ancient force with a two-thousand-year inheritance. Although there were no masters at the Heaven and Man level, they were old enough.

On the trip to Many Loulan, the five elders and others witnessed Chi You's strength with their own eyes.

As descendants of Chi You, Shushan inherited the inheritance of Chi You from the ancient period, and it must have its extraordinary aspects.

After more than a year of communication, Shushan and the Yin-Yang School both forgot the grudges of the past and entered a so-called honeymoon period, with a very good relationship. Of course, whether there were some selfish motives of Yu Jun hidden behind this close relationship was unknown.

Compared to communicating with the Yin-Yang School, Yu Jun actually wanted to pull closer to Su Xuan, but unfortunately, Su Xuan had been in seclusion and hadn't come out.

While time passed in the outside world, Su Xuan was in a wonderful realm.

His body was still in the Taiwei Purple Palace of the Yin-Yang School, but his soul had long left his body and was roaming freely between heaven and earth.

Even if the scorching sun was high, his soul was not affected at all, and even if it was a thousand miles away, as long as his thoughts moved, he could reach it in an instant.

This is the Primordial Spirit realm.

With the help of the Primordial Spirit, roaming the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening was not a difficult thing for Su Xuan!
