Chapter 117 Year, Emerging from Seclusion
Ten years passed by in a flash.
Amidst widespread chaos, the Qin state launched a war of unification.
First, Qin destroyed Han. In the following ten years, Qin successively destroyed Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi.
The reason why it took ten years for the Qin Dynasty to unify the six states was partly due to some internal problems that arose during the process.
Changping Jun Xiong Qi colluded with peasants to rebel.
Ultimately, they were wiped out by the King of Qin, and the peasant school was utterly destroyed. Of the 100,000 disciples, some died and the rest surrendered.
At the same time, the Yin-Yang School, Taoism, Mohism, and Confucianism entered the Hundred Schools Academy.
All the philosophers of the world must enter the Hundred Schools Academy; if they refuse, we will send troops to destroy them.
In the words of the King of Qin, all the philosophers must serve the Qin state and the people of the world.
At this time, in Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
In the palace.
After unifying the six states, the King of Qin's aura became even more powerful.
The aura of this unparalleled emperor sent shivers down the spines of his ministers.
Over the course of ten years, with each country he conquered, the King of Qin's aura and cultivation increased dramatically.
Now that the Qin king has unified the six kingdoms, his strength has reached an astonishing level.
After unifying the world, Ying Zheng truly felt that he had seen the path to immortality.
His techniques were created and perfected step by step through his own understanding.
"Imperial Preceptor, has my teacher not yet emerged from seclusion?"
The King of Qin sat on his throne and asked in a calm tone.
The Moon Goddess stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor has not yet emerged from seclusion."
"Ten years."
The King of Qin looked inexplicably in the direction of the Yin-Yang School.
He was waiting for his teacher, Fei Yan, to emerge from seclusion.
The reason was simple: after unifying the world, he was preparing to offer sacrifices to Heaven and change his title.
But he wanted to wait until his teacher came out of seclusion before offering sacrifices to the heavens.
However, Fei Yan has been in seclusion for ten years without making a sound.
He once visited the Yin-Yang School in person and watched from afar outside the Rashomon Hall.
He gained some insights there, which led him to understand the core of his own path of cultivation, and thus he completely perfected his own technique.
The more he cultivated, the more he could feel Fei Yan's power; her unfathomable strength amazed him.
I don't know just how powerful this teacher is.
... ...
At this time, the other side.
Inside the Rashomon Hall of the Yin-Yang School.
After ten years of seclusion and cultivation, Fei Yan has finally made a move.
Swish!
Feiyan slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed for ten years.
Two mysterious beams of light flashed by in an instant, seemingly capable of piercing through time and space.
hum~~
A surge of power erupted, soaring straight into the sky.
The weather suddenly changed, with lightning and thunder.
Everyone in the Yin-Yang School turned to look at them.
The disciples and elders who were cultivating outside Luosheng Hall were all awakened.
"His Majesty the Eastern Emperor has emerged from seclusion!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at Rashomon with surprise.
Boom~~
The doors of Rashomon slowly opened.
Everyone looked over and saw that the interior of Rashomon was dark.
Soon, starlight began to twinkle, and a galaxy appeared.
A figure floated prominently in the center of the Milky Way, wearing a mask and draped in the robes of the Eastern Emperor; he was none other than the leader of the Yin-Yang School.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor!"
The disciples and elders of the Yin-Yang School all bowed and paid their respects.
Fei Yan glanced around, her body naturally floating in mid-air without using any power or cultivation.
It floats entirely on its own, as if it has escaped gravity.
"Get up."
Feiyan's voice was loud and resounded throughout the Yin Yang School.
The elders entered the Luosheng Hall one after another.
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Xiaomeng walked in step by step and respectfully greeted them.
Fei Yan then took a closer look at the beautiful girl in front of her. She was eighteen years old and exuded an aura of natural harmony.
"Xiaomeng?" Feiyan's eyes flashed with surprise.
He then closed his eyes and immediately calculated that ten years had passed.
I never imagined that a single seclusion would take ten years.
"Ten years have passed, and you've made great progress."
Feiyan opened her eyes, looked at Xiaomeng, and nodded with satisfaction.
Xiaomeng's strength has improved tremendously, and her cultivation has already reached its peak, stepping into the Celestial Realm.
This realm of heaven and man is the state of unity between heaven and man.
She also created her own techniques and secret arts based on the skills and Yin-Yang techniques taught to her by Fei Yan.
In addition, her swordsmanship was also unparalleled, making her one of the top experts in the Yin-Yang School.
She is ranked alongside the Moon Goddess and the Snow Woman as one of the strongest.
The weakest line consists of elders and protectors such as the Great Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate.
"Tell me what has happened in the last ten years."
Feiyan slowly opened her mouth, spreading out her palm, and a burst of starlight surged forth.
While she used astrology to examine the changes over the past ten years, she listened to the stories told by Xiaomeng, Ehuang, Nüying, and others.
They quickly learned what had happened over the past ten years.
Combine what you see through astrology with what they say to gain a thorough understanding.
"The world has been unified?"
Feiyan nodded slightly, showing no surprise whatsoever.
The unification of China by the King of Qin was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.
Two guest appearances have been completed so far, and there is a third mission left: to become the strongest among the Hundred Schools of Thought.
This is simple; all you need to do is defeat the various schools of thought in the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Before she went into seclusion, she had already defeated Guiguzi, three great masters of Taoism, Xunzi of Confucianism, and the leader of Mohism.
He only needs to visit all the other masters in the Hundred Schools Academy and defeat them all to complete his guest appearance.
"Master, your senior brother is waiting for you to come out of seclusion."
Xiaomeng suddenly spoke up.
Fei Yan was taken aback: "The senior brother you're talking about is—"
"Master, isn't my senior brother the king?"
Xiaomeng tilted her head and asked.
Feiyan fell silent. In truth, Ying Zheng wasn't considered a disciple; she had only addressed him as "teacher."
Oh well, I can teach him the secret to immortality anyway, so being his master is fine too.
"Understood. I'll be leaving the pass and take a look at Xianyang City."
After speaking, Fei Yan's figure quietly disappeared from the spot.
The elders of the Yin-Yang School were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
... ...
Xianyang.
In the palace.
The King of Qin, who was handling state affairs, seemed to sense something.
"teacher?"
The King of Qin suddenly looked up, and was pleasantly surprised to see the figure slowly emerging.
The person who arrived was Fei Yan.
"Your Majesty is truly diligent; you are probably the first emperor in history to be so diligent."
Feiyan smiled and offered a word of praise.
The King of Qin rose and bowed, saying, "Your disciple greets you, Master, and congratulates you on your successful exit from the pass."
"Your Majesty, you are now the only emperor in the world. You no longer need to show me the respect due to a disciple."
Feiyan shook her head and avoided his greeting.
"Teacher, is it because I haven't done well enough?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
This made Ying Zheng wonder if he, as a disciple, was not good enough and could not gain his teacher's approval.
"I have never taken you as my disciple, but you calling me 'teacher' is already a way of repaying the karmic debt of passing on the method of immortality to you."
Feiyan explained everything in detail.
She said softly, "Your Majesty is now the only emperor in the world, an emperor for all ages, and the immortal emperor of the future Qin Dynasty. The only ones who can be your teachers are the heavens, the natural world, and the primordial universe."
"And I cannot be your teacher."
This was the thought that came to her the moment she arrived at the palace and met the King of Qin.
The consequences are too great; I can no longer be his teacher.
"Heaven and earth, nature, the universe in its primordial chaos?"
The King of Qin seemed to understand, but still bowed and said, "Teacher, you are my mentor who taught me the way to immortality, and that will never change."
"Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher: I will always respect and serve my teacher with the courtesy due to a disciple."
Ying Zheng is Ying Zheng; he knows that very well.
He has to establish this master-disciple relationship, otherwise he really won't feel at ease.
Because Fei Yan is too powerful, so powerful that even the King of Qin cannot see through her in the slightest.
It was as if I was not seeing a person, but a world, a vast and boundless universe.
In fact, this is what Fei Yan gained from this seclusion: she has already achieved a state of integration with the natural universe.
"Never mind, as long as Your Majesty is happy."
Feiyan thought for a moment and nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter.
"Teacher, you have just come out of seclusion. I have a favor to ask of you."
After inviting Feiyan to sit down, the King of Qin announced some news.
"What's the matter?"
Feiyan nodded slightly.
The King of Qin spoke up, "Firstly, I am preparing to offer sacrifices to Heaven and need to choose a new title. What title do you think would be better, teacher?"
Feiyan chuckled softly before speaking, "Hasn't Your Majesty already made up your mind? Why ask me?"
"Emperor and Sovereign, both reside in the King's heart."
This was her answer, but the King of Qin had already made up his mind.
"The second thing is that Gai Nie has defected."
The King of Qin then mentioned the second matter.
Fei Yan was surprised for a moment, then said, "Gai Nie has defected. He's just a swordsman. Why doesn't Your Majesty take him down personally?"
The King of Qin gently shook his head: "I do not want to kill him, and I do not want to kill that child either."
The child? It's Li Ji's child, not Ying Zheng's.
Fei Yan frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, you are an emperor of all ages. Love and affection are not suitable for Your Majesty. What you need to do is become an immortal emperor and create an immortal Qin Dynasty."
"The teacher is right."
The King of Qin humbly accepted the instruction.
He continued, "I have received news that the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions possesses something called the 'Bingmoshen,' a weapon forged by Chiyou in ancient times."
The King of Qin slowly spoke and announced the news.
He said, "I would like to ask you, teacher, to see if this news is true."
"The Demon God of War?"
"Very well, I will go there myself."
Feiyan seemed to be thinking about it, then nodded gently in agreement.
It's a good opportunity to meet that Loulan goddess.
"Then I will trouble you to make the trip yourself, teacher. You will travel there by mechanical ship. I have already ordered three thousand elite cavalry to accompany you to Loulan."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan stood up and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the main hall.
Apart from the King of Qin, no one here knew that Fei Yan had ever been here.
"Has the teacher become an immortal?"
The King of Qin sat there, silently pondering this question.
Unfortunately, there was no answer; all that was clear was that Fei Yan had become incredibly powerful.
