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 help for it; 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, the fact that Su Xuan, the State Preceptor, was in seclusion and had not come out was actually a good thing.

On the day Ying Zheng appointed Su Xuan as State Preceptor, many officials from the Confucian School strongly opposed it. In the end, Ying Zheng found evidence against all of them, dismissed them from their official positions, and dealt with them according to the law. Although the others were more sensible and did not oppose this matter, there were still some who were unhappy in their hearts.

In their view, having one emperor in the Qin Guo was enough; there was no need for a high and mighty State Preceptor.

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

Seeing him was like seeing His Majesty the Emperor!

After Su Xuan became State Preceptor, many ministers worried that Su Xuan would use his status as State Preceptor to disrupt the court. As a result, Su Xuan was more low-key than imagined. Now, he simply went into seclusion and did not 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. 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 not to that extent.

His main purpose for this seclusion was to refine Immortal spiritual energy, not to seek a breakthrough or go into a dead seclusion for a final struggle, so there was basically no danger.

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

On the high platform, Su Xuan sat cross-legged. He had maintained 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, people like Yanfei and the Moon God would walk by the door.

Although they knew that with Su Xuan's strength, he had already reached the realm of Bigu (abstaining from grains) and could absorb the power of heaven and earth to nourish himself, so it was no problem even if he didn't eat or drink for a long time, they were still a bit worried that something would happen to Su Xuan.

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

Su Xuan's aura did not wither or sink; on the contrary, it was becoming more and more vigorous, like the scorching sun in summer.

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

This could be considered to have put their hearts at ease. It seemed that in this seclusion, Lord Xuantian had no problems, and on the contrary, his strength had become more and more powerful.

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

They were... the people of Shushan.

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

It was precisely because of this part of the Shushan heritage 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 clan hated the Yin-Yang School to the bone, and the two factions had deep grievances.

But as Su Xuan stepped onto Shushan and helped the Shushan clan solve the hidden danger of Did Chi You, the attitude of the Shushan clan toward Su Xuan and the Yin-Yang School changed dramatically. Especially Xiao Li, who was transformed from the Goddess's Tears, explained to the Shushan tribesmen before leaving that they no longer needed to be trapped on the mountain, as they had already completed their mission.

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

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 did not refuse anyone.

Due to certain reasons, the relationship between the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School was destined not 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 did not have the powerful strength to destroy the Daoist School at any time, the people of the Daoist School would not 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 people of the Yin-Yang School didn't care much about this matter, after all, they had the honor of listening to Lord Xuantian's preaching twice, and Lord Xuantian directly taught them a new path of cultivation.

Those things of the Daoist School were already outdated.

The people of the Daoist School 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 Heaven-Man Realm, but one must know that the cultivation path taught by Lord Xuantian had a realm after Heaven-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 heritage was derived from Shushan, and Shushan was also an ancient force with a heritage of two thousand years. Although they didn't have masters at the Heaven-Man level, they were old enough.

On the trip to Loulan, the five elders and their ilk witnessed the power of Did Chi You with their own eyes.

As descendants of Did Chi You, inheriting the heritage of Did Chi You from the ancient times, Shushan must also have its extraordinary aspects.

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

Compared to the communication with the Yin-Yang School, Yu Jun actually wanted to get closer to Su Xuan, but unfortunately, Su Xuan had been in seclusion and had not 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 since left his body and was wandering freely between heaven and earth.

Even if the scorching sun was high, his soul was not affected in the slightest. Even if it was a thousand miles away, as long as his thoughts moved, he could arrive in an instant.

This was the Primordial Spirit Realm.

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