Su Xuan's coming out of seclusion did not cause a great stir; it was extremely calm, even though he had been in seclusion for a long time.

When he came out of seclusion, at first only some people inside the Yin-Yang School knew, but soon, Ying Zheng knew about this matter.

This was not strange.

After all, this was the Qin Guo, especially near Xianyang. As long as Ying Zheng wanted to investigate, there was basically nothing that could be hidden from him, not to mention that Su Xuan did not hide the fact that he came out of seclusion from the beginning.

Thus, a few days after coming out of seclusion.

People came from the palace to invite Su Xuan, the State Preceptor, to enter the palace to see the Emperor.

Su Xuan followed the attendants from the palace and stepped into Xianyang Palace. Also because of Ying Zheng's invitation, many people who did not know that Su Xuan had come out of seclusion also knew about this.

This naturally made many people feel a bit bad.

You must know that "363" not everyone agreed with Su Xuan as the State Preceptor. Some people wished that Su Xuan would die sooner. This could only be said that everyone has selfish motives, and not everyone can accept having another high and mighty existence above their heads.

Su Xuan's coming out of seclusion meant that Su Xuan did not die in the process of seclusion, which did not make people get their wish, so naturally, some people were unhappy.

Su Xuan obviously did not know about these things, but even if he did, he didn't care much.

With the increase in strength, he looked at the mundane world more and more lightly.

Things that many people cared about immensely were, to him, nothing more than things he could get at his fingertips.

Similarly, these people who hated him were also just ants to him.

In the past, Su Xuan tried hard to integrate himself into the mundane world because he didn't want to give up the heart of a human and give up all the pleasures of being a human. But after achieving the Primordial Spirit, even if his original intention remained unchanged, with his cognition of heaven and earth becoming broader, some changes would eventually occur.

This meeting between Ying Zheng and Su Xuan was not in the Hall of Returning to One, but in the Zhangtai Palace.

Compared to the solemn Hall of Returning to One, for the two of them, the Zhangtai Palace was more familiar.

Over the past many years, the two often talked in the Zhangtai Palace, sometimes discussing the Dao, and sometimes discussing the general trend of the world. It could be said that many things were the results of discussions in the Zhangtai Palace that led to the Qin Guo having today.

"The State Preceptor's seclusion this time was really long!"

Seeing Su Xuan's unchanged appearance, Ying Zheng sighed with genuine emotion.

Su Xuan explained, "The trip to Loulan had many gains, so I spent a not-short period of time digesting these gains."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan in surprise, a bit curious, "The State Preceptor's strength back then had already reached an extreme level. Now, after being in seclusion for more than a year, I'm afraid you have reached an unprecedented realm. Looking down on the world should be a matter of course!"

Ying Zheng still recognized Su Xuan's strength.

Words like looking down on the world seemed arrogant.

But in fact, a long time ago, Ying Zheng thought that Su Xuan possessed such strength, but it was not easy to say it directly.

Now, Su Xuan had been in seclusion for such a long time, and he himself said that he had many gains. This time coming out of seclusion, there was no doubt that his strength had improved again, so it was indeed possible to say such words.

Su Xuan listened to Ying Zheng's praise without any self-satisfaction on his face.

"This world is too small. Even if I look down on the world, it is just so. As my strength gets stronger, my vision gets broader, and I see more and more things, I feel this way more and more!"

Ying Zheng listened to Su Xuan's sigh and showed a thoughtful look.

This was actually not just Su Xuan's sigh; for him, wasn't it the same?

Once upon a time, he thought that the seven states of the world were everything. After destroying the six states of Shandong and unifying the world, he thought he possessed everything. But until he met Su Xuan, he realized that he was actually a frog in a well.

Because of ignorance, he thought the seven states were everything.

Beyond the Nine Provinces, there were still Nine Provinces. This world was bigger than he imagined. Even if he had unified the world now, there were still countries whose territory could compare to the Qin Guo.

Thus, Ying Zheng's goal also changed.

From destroying the six states and unifying the world, it changed to unifying the entire world. He wanted to know whose cavalry was stronger, the iron cavalry of Qin or the cavalry of other countries in the world.

And after Su Xuan's trip to Loulan, Ying Zheng's vision became even broader.

Unifying the world was still not the end of this journey.

Outside this world, there were other worlds, higher-level worlds.

This world seemed very big, but in reality, it was so small.

After sighing in his heart, Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan curiously, "Since the State Preceptor feels that this world is so small, I wonder if there is anything in the world that interests you?"

Su Xuan did not hide it either, "Although this world is small, there are indeed some things that interest me!"

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan with interest, waiting for Su Xuan's answer.

Su Xuan's power was profound, and he was a well-deserved person of the Immortal Dao, having long since left behind those low-class bad tastes. So, Ying Zheng really wanted to know what could make Su Xuan, with such strength, become interested.

Su Xuan explained, "As I experience more things and see more things, for me, what interests me most now is probably exploring the secrets of the ancient times!"

"Ancient times, huh!" Ying Zheng sighed.

He naturally knew which era Su Xuan was talking about.

In ancient times, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden descended to the world, and the Dragon God was in the world. They left behind many legends. Passed down to today, those traces only remained as fragments, and some people didn't even know of their existence.

But if one had the fate to catch a glimpse of that trace, one would find how different that era was from the ordinary.

Su Xuan's strength was near that of an Immortal, so it was not strange that he would be interested in true Immortals and Deities.

Immediately after, he heard Su Xuan say, "Besides this, right now, what interests me most is none other than the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon."

"A long time ago, I had some intersections with this object. In order to collect this object, I spent a lot of effort. If I cannot solve this mystery, it really makes people feel uneasy!"

Ying Zheng listened to Su Xuan's words and couldn't help but be stunned.
