The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 206 The Pre-Qin Dharma Realm
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yan directly asked the three most crucial questions, which were also the ones he was most curious about. Wang Ben seemed to be familiar with this style of communication. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and ordered the surrounding elite soldiers to move out and form a basic defensive formation.

In theory, they were already past their prime and would be transformed into terracotta warriors.

Zhou Yan used his power over life and death to forcibly lock their life force, which allowed these battle spirits, who should have died completely, to retain basic mobility. However, since they appeared prematurely and their bodies were partially terracotta, their movements were obviously somewhat stiff.

Wang Ben said, "The Kunlun Calamity, my Emperor, and the token."

The general composed himself and said, "I am just a military officer, not good with words. Although I have lived through that era, what I know is ultimately only from my own perspective. You have the token, and I will tell you everything you want to know."

"A token? You mean the imperial seal?"

Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, and one-third of the Imperial Seal of the State appeared in Li Longji's mouth.

A warm, gentle light emanated from his palm, flowing slowly.

This treasure is one of the factors that enabled Zhou Yan to reach his current level as a seventh-grade True Body. It can deduce the most perfect path that suits the holder's foundation.

This is completely different from the Imperial Seal of the State carved from the He Shi Bi in the history that Zhou Yan knew. Either this is not the He Shi Bi Imperial Seal at all, or the He Shi Bi itself has a different concept in this world.

Wang Ben responded in a solemn voice: "In the twenty-sixth year of His Majesty's reign, His Majesty wished to establish rules and regulations, so he made a seal. At that time, the finest jade in the world was the He Shi Bi jade. His Majesty ordered Prime Minister Li Si to write the inscription and the jade craftsman Sun Shou to carve it."

"However, the day before the carving was completed, a Taoist priest visited, claiming to be a man from the Kunlun Mountains who had long lived in the mystical realm of immortals. He said that His Majesty's virtue surpassed that of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements exceeded those of the Five Emperors, so how could he use a jade stone that had already been possessed by someone else as a seal?"

"His Majesty believes that as long as the He Shi Bi jade is transformed into an imperial seal, it will belong to him."

"Then, people of thousands of years to come will forget the previous owner of the He Shi Bi and only remember the Imperial Seal of the State that followed. But the alchemist persuaded His Majesty with words that even so, he had an even more precious jade."

"Then, a piece of jade was taken out."

"They said it was obtained from Mount Kunlun."

"That jade was indeed extraordinary, with all sorts of mysteries, as if it had its own internal laws."

Zhou Yan realized that a turning point in history had appeared. Wang Ben seemed to be deep in thought and said, "Kunlun Mountain is an ancient immortal mountain. In our time, there are still some legends about it. Back then, the first leader of the Mohist school once climbed Kunlun and created the God-Slaying Crossbow based on the weapons at the foot of Kunlun Mountain."

"However, this is the first time I've heard of a sorcerer coming from Kunlun Mountain."

Zhou Yan asked, "What is the alchemist's name, and what does he look like?"

Wang Ben replied, "I do not know his name, but he is extremely handsome. There are fine golden lines deep in his dark pupils. My father once saw him and said that this man had a conflict with His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty drew his Tai'a sword, and this sorcerer's pupils turned into vertical pupils."

He came from the Kunlun Mountains, and was extremely handsome, with dark black eyes that shimmered with gold.

When angry or experiencing emotional fluctuations, vertical pupils may appear.

Taoist priest.

Zhou Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and he wrote all of this down.

Wang Ben said, "In the end, His Majesty used the jade offered by this person to carve the imperial seal. After that, His Majesty's behavior suddenly changed. He personally traveled to all corners of the country and carved stone tablets in all directions."

"At the same time, we began to build the Great Wall with the greatest effort. However, at that time, our Great Qin was invincible. We did not know what kind of opponent His Majesty was guarding against. Moreover, he used the art of pottery to dissolve the immortal lineage of corpses, so that after our death, our souls would attach to this wall."

"At the same time, His Majesty devised a plan to gather all the sorcerers in the land who taught mixed doctrines in the capital, then bury them alive and burn all their books... He reorganized the orthodox lineage to be passed on to the world."

They built the Great Wall and burned books and buried scholars alive.

"in addition……"

Wang Ben said, "After His Majesty learned of all this, he left no offspring and ascended to heaven before anyone realized it. It is likely that this is why our Great Qin collapsed."

Zhou Yan pressed his temples, feeling an overwhelming amount of information impacting his understanding.

Fusu and Huhai are both gone?

What happened after Qin Shi Huang learned that immortality was possible?
Zhou Yan thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Wang Ben's expression darkened slightly as he said, "Furthermore, we have always believed that His Majesty's ascension was a hoax, or rather, just an ascension for public display."

"My father and I went to investigate the truth, but we failed and died, losing part of our memories. However, due to His Majesty's arrangement, we did not return to heaven and earth after death. Our souls were drawn together by a grand ceremony in His Majesty's imperial tomb and came back to life."

Zhou Yan's eye twitched, and the young Taoist began to want to strangle his past self.

inquire about!

What are you asking about?!

The common sense he learned when he first came into this world, and the truth about the cycle of reincarnation he learned from the monk Kongkong, all gradually collapsed and underwent new changes as Wang Ben narrated them.

What do you mean by saying that Qin Shi Huang's ascension was a hoax?

The monk Kongkong described "reincarnation" as a natural phenomenon, similar to the flow of water. It is like rain falling, turning into rivers, and the water vapor from those rivers rising up, turning into rain clouds, and then falling again.

Now, tell me, what does it mean that two generations of famous generals explored the mystery of Qin Shi Huang's ascension, died for unknown reasons, and then their souls were reassembled in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum?
A truth was revealed to Zhou Yan.

How subversive, how absurd.

But what a spirit!

The young Taoist priest looked at the terracotta warriors of famous generals before him and said:

"Emperor Qin, do you want to deny the order of [Reincarnation]?"

Wang Ben replied matter-of-factly, “I don’t know, but Your Majesty is indeed weaving a massive barrier, standardizing cart tracks, writing, weights and measures, and conduct. All of Your Majesty’s actions are aimed at quelling the remaining voices of the various states, eliminating discordant thoughts, and transforming the human world into a vast barrier.”

"Then, we will adjust the various lineages into a definite path."

"There are ten lineages in total, which are established in ten directions."

"Within this barrier, our Yanhuang lineage shall, in accordance with His Majesty's will, change the many laws and principles of the gods and immortals regarding the human race, and re-establish the [Qin Law Realm]. The purpose of this realm is to resist the karmic force of chaos and the so-called cause and effect, destiny."

"In His Majesty's ideal, all actions will be judged and rewarded according to Qin law, no longer subject to the vague cause and effect of karma, and there will be no so-called immortals or gods above him."

"It even denies the idea that after death, the soul is scattered and dispersed."

Zhou Yan: "…………"

The young Taoist pressed his brow, feeling a throbbing sensation there.

Fuxi was preparing to drag the entire human world into a world without laws and reason; Qin Shi Huang, knowing that there were still laws and order among the immortals and gods, decided to challenge the precepts of the gods in a human way, taking the human world as the legal realm, and refuting the laws of the gods.

So Fuxi closed the door and put several locks on it.

The Emperor Qin sneered and slapped the so-called immortals and gods several times across the face.

So, in other words, it's possible that the being that guided the Kunlun Tribulation appeared in the human realm before, but was withdrawn by the Qin Emperor?

What is the truth behind Qin Shi Huang's ascension to heaven?
Could it be that the strongest being in the human realm is being targeted by that specific force?
Why are there only seven of the ten major lineages left? Where did the remaining three go?

Was it lost, hidden away, or destroyed by the masterminds of the Kunlun Calamity? How much power does the so-called Great Qin Dharma Realm still possess?

as well as--

Who exactly is that handsome Kunlun Mountain sorcerer with golden eyes?

Kunlun, the mastermind behind it all?
still--

Fuxi.

Zhou Yan found that after coming to ask Wang Ben for the truth, he only became more confused and puzzled after hearing the truth from Wang Ben. Zhou Yan then wrote down what had happened on Qin Huang's side.

Then he asked, "So, how much do you know about the Kunlun Calamity?"

Wang Ben said, "Kunlun Calamity..." He shook his head and said, "After that sorcerer came, we tried to go to Kunlun Mountain, but we failed. My father once climbed up there, and when he came back, he looked as if he had aged ten years."

"He said that the jade-colored buildings above were stained red with blood, and huge corpses of living beings lay there. Everything was in chaos, completely different from the serene Kunlun Heavenly Palace of legend."

“My father sensed a special power at the summit of Kunlun Mountain. Later, he also sensed this power in His Majesty’s seal. Therefore, perhaps one needs to carry this item to reach the summit of Kunlun Mountain and unlock the true secret.”

The handsome scholar, the Kunlun treasure transformed into a jade seal, and the Taoist of the Supreme Pavilion could directly manifest the stone tablet where the Kunlun treasure was located.

No, based on what I know, there are still various kinds of confusion.

After all, Wang Ben and Qin Huang were both latecomers to the Kunlun Calamity. What they saw when they climbed Kunlun Mountain was already the trace of time.

And if you get your own eyewitness conclusions from them, the amount of real information you get will inevitably be very small.

You need to go up there yourself to see for yourself, or rather, get the information from those who have experienced it firsthand.

It fell into the land of Shu and became the enlightened one in the legends of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Zhou Yan's expression shifted slightly, and he exhaled.

He decided to put that aside for now and send his avatar to search the Western Peak. Perhaps they could find the fragments of the Mount Tai Fair Fruit hidden there. Judging from the previous power over life and death, there was a certain probability that the fragments of the Mount Tai Fair Fruit contained the memories of the Qin Emperor.

Go back to Mount Tai and take out the peacock that was stuffed into Mu Degong's gourd and torture it.

Wang Ben said, "That's all I know."

"In fact, there is another third of the [token] in His Majesty's imperial mausoleum, but this [token] is currently serving as the core of the imperial mausoleum's grand formation ritual, maintaining the order of the entire mausoleum, and cannot be taken out at present."

Zhou Yan's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the massive imperial mausoleum at the foot of Mount Li.

"When will they wake up?"

Wang Ben said, "His Majesty has decreed that the moment Mount Tai collapses will be the moment I am born."

When Mount Tai collapses...

Is it the Duke of Taishan, or is it myself?

Zhou Yan asked, "So, where are you going next?"

Wang Ben stretched out his hand, looked at the crack that had appeared on his palm, and said slowly, "We were awakened by the strange changes of the calamity and left the imperial mausoleum ahead of time. We received the external energy ahead of time. Under the impact of internal and external forces, our chance of survival was dissipated through the crack."

“You have used methods to stabilize our lives, but these methods cannot last indefinitely. I can sense that once the distance between us increases, this power will begin to dissipate, and we will eventually die.”

"To die for one's duty is a worthy death."

Zhou Yan said, "In that case, you can come with me."

Wang Ben was stunned.

Zhou Yan sat cross-legged, and in the palm of the young Taoist priest, the one-third seal slowly rotated. He said, "Assuming that the Qin Emperor you speak of truly has the courage to refute the gods with human reason, then you should not so easily hand over your lives."

"Besides, I have many things I want to ask you clearly."

Wang Ben remained silent, turning back to look at the sealed imperial mausoleum barrier. After a long silence, the Marquis of Tongwu of Qin slowly lowered his head and said, "Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to trouble you."

“Now that Your Majesty’s Qin Dynasty has disappeared, you, who possess one-third of the Imperial Seal, can be considered one of the most important nobles of my Qin Dynasty.”

"Until His Majesty's orders arrive, before we are required to give up our lives, our weapons can fight for you, as a way of repaying you for saving the lives of my comrades."

The Qin Dynasty has perished, so there is nothing left to restrain their military might.

Zhou Yan said, "Okay."

Wang Ben knew many secrets about the pre-Qin period and Kunlun, but he couldn't have told them all just now. Many things that Wang Ben took for granted might be extremely important and crucial information to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan planned to slowly dig out his intelligence and information.

Aside from that, Mount Tai's defenses suffered heavy losses this time. Many three-meter-tall giants were reduced to small stone figures that barely reached Zhou Yan's knees. Under such circumstances, with the addition of elite Qin warriors and renowned generals capable of destroying entire kingdoms, Mount Tai's strength could be enhanced.

Wang Ben said he needed to make some repairs first.

This place is not far from the courtyard of the Old Mother of Lishan.

Zhou Yan planned to visit the old woman first. Before leaving, he casually asked, "By the way, how many terracotta warriors left the imperial tomb?"

Wang Ben said, "Not many."

"Only three hundred elite soldiers, and—"

"Only ten God-Slaying Heavy Crossbows of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Zhou Yan: "…………"

Ten God-Slaying level seats?

Even after arriving at the courtyard of the Old Mother of Lishan, Lord Zhou was still shocked by the number. It was only after the Old Mother of Lishan called him twice that the young Taoist came back to his senses, blinked, and looked at the kind old woman in front of him with a helpless expression.

"came back?"

"Oh, yes, old lady."

The Old Mother of Lishan smiled and said, "Now that you've come to your senses, why don't you quickly show me the things?"

Zhou Yan nodded, stretched out his hand, and a wisp of pure energy flowed and changed.

It was the innate energy obtained after killing the Weaver Girl.

The Old Mother of Lishan.

Or perhaps, it is the foundation for cultivating Nuwa's transformation techniques.

The supreme divine power personally passed down by the Empress Nuwa!
