The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Without asking any further questions, he took the package and walked towards the other rooms in the main hall...

After a while.

"I've made my choice," the Snow Woman said as she returned.

"Then recite the internal energy cultivation method you practice to me. As my maid, you can't be too weak in martial arts." Ishihara Akira nodded and instructed again.

Yuki-onna didn't suspect anything about this, since the strength that Ishihara Akane showed was indeed beyond what her internal energy cultivation method could achieve, so naturally she wouldn't covet her martial arts method. Therefore, she readily revealed the contents of her own martial arts method.

Without the slightest modification, it was read aloud in its entirety, word for word.

As for Ishihara Akane, his purpose was not actually to obtain Yuki-onna's martial arts techniques, but rather to take this opportunity to examine the martial arts cultivation system or specific operating methods of this world, to see if there were any differences between it and the martial arts of other worlds. He wanted to master and modify these techniques, transforming the profound martial arts of other worlds into those more suitable for this world, and then pass them on to Yuki-onna so that she could cultivate them and complete her transformation.

After all, he had already set up Baiyujing himself; it would be beneath his dignity to do everything personally.

Therefore, strengthening Yuki-onna became an inevitable choice.

Fortunately, although the martial arts in the Qin's Moon world are magical, and many don't even look like martial arts, the basic cultivation methods are not too different. The only difference is that they incorporate visualization-like techniques for cultivating 'divinity'. Combined with the already active spiritual energy of the Qin's Moon world, this makes the martial arts in this world so exaggerated.

Therefore, Ishihara Sho didn't stand on ceremony and directly extracted some key points from Yuki-onna's cultivation technique. He combined them with the Heavenly Demon Strategy in his hand, as well as the sonic attack and the counterfeit Fuxi Divine Heaven Echo, forming a brand new Heavenly Demon Secret Manual which he then implanted into Yuki-onna's mind.

"From today onwards, you shall begin to cultivate this martial art, so that when you go out to act on my behalf in the future, you will not be looked down upon by others," Ishihara Akira said calmly, looking at the Snow Maiden who was digesting the Heavenly Demon Manual.

"Yes."

Then, Ishihara Akira ignored Yuki-onna and, with a thought, officially started moving the White Jade King he was sitting on—

"The Jade Palace in the heavens, with its twelve towers and five levels, is where an immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life!"

The immense sound, capable of reaching several kilometers from the property, spread outwards along with Bai Yujing's movement, like a divine song, attracting the attention of the world and awe their hearts.

"Oh my god, what is that?!"

Chapter 691 Undercurrents

With Ishihara's undisguised actions, news of the appearance of immortals and immortal cities in Jicheng spread like wildfire throughout the seven kingdoms. In particular, when Bai Yujing arrived in Daliang, the capital of Wei, more detailed reports were placed on the desks of the kings of the seven kingdoms.

The State of Chu.

"Immortals? Floating Mountain? Could it be the work of the Mohists?" King Fuchu of Chu asked the head of Chu's intelligence agency with a face full of suspicion.

"Your Majesty, while the Mohist school's mechanical arts are indeed wondrous, they have never performed anything as powerful as the mountain-moving feat described in the intelligence reports. If such miraculous techniques truly existed, why would the Mohist school have kept them hidden until now? Aren't they afraid of attracting the attention of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"Couldn't it be that the Mohists only recently built this mechanical city?" the King of Chu continued to question.

"While this possibility cannot be ruled out, why would the Mohists do this?"

The King of Chu remained silent for a long while before speaking again: "Regardless of whether it is the Mohist school or not, I need to know the specific details about this floating mountain and that person who is suspected to be an immortal. Investigate with all your might!"

"Yes!"

"Floating Mountain..."

Regardless of whether it's a place for immortals or not, if this magical mountain were to fall into the hands of the State of Chu, wouldn't Chu gain an invincible position to some extent?

After all, in the current timeline, apart from the Mo family's wooden eagle being a known flying device, there is nothing else that can take people into the sky!

In other words, dropping anything from the floating mountain would be extremely dangerous for certain people in certain countries, and the King of Chu had no reason not to acquire this weapon of war.

……

"An immortal?" Prince Ying Zheng asked in surprise as he looked at the intelligence report handed over by the Black Ice Platform.

He was no longer in his later years, frail and desperately seeking immortality, nor did he have much faith in so-called immortals. Therefore, after receiving the report from the Black Ice Guard, he simply instructed them to investigate thoroughly before setting aside the case file and returning to dealing with the few remaining tasks at hand...

After all, although he has now come of age and begun to rule in his own right, Lü Buwei still exists in the court. He still needs to contend with the powerful Lü Buwei in order to reclaim his rights as the monarch. So even if he wanted to do everything personally, not many things would actually be delivered to him.

"The appearance of a being resembling an immortal at this time, along with that floating mountain, what does it signify?"

……

Meanwhile, inside the Rashomon Hall of the Yin-Yang School.

"You may all leave now," Donghuang Taiyi, dressed in gold silk and black robes and wearing a strange helmet, instructed the Grand Master of Fate below.

"Yes." Although young, Da Siming, who had already begun to show his ruthless style, responded in agreement and got up to leave the main hall of Luo Shengtang, leaving the space to the host, Donghuang Taiyi, and Dongjun, Yanfei, who entered later.

"Shouldn't you be in Xianyang monitoring Yan Dan? Why are you here?" Donghuang Taiyi asked Yan Fei as she walked in, his tone unchanged, still as when he was giving orders to Da Siming, but somehow giving off a sense of reprimand and questioning.

“Yan Dan is dead,” Yan Fei replied.

"Dead?" Donghuang Taiyi asked in surprise.

"Yes. Just two days ago, he suddenly died in the hostage residence in Xianyang. I only found out when I went to monitor his movements the next day," Consort Yan recounted.

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Donghuang Taiyi asked again.

“No clues were found.” Yan Fei shook her head and said, “This is not only my conclusion, but also the conclusion of the Black Ice Platform and the Luo Net.”

The Black Ice Guard and the Net were the two major intelligence agencies of the Qin State. However, the former, the Black Ice Guard, was an intelligence organization directly under the King of Qin. Its nature was similar to the Shadow Guard of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Guard of the Song Dynasty, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty. Its main responsibility was to monitor officials and military generals within the Qin State.

The latter was Qin's open intelligence agency. Initially, it was only responsible for searching for wandering martial artists, much like the legendary Six Doors. However, after Lü Buwei took over, the scope of Luo Wang's work gradually expanded from targeting martial artists to monitoring them as well as Qin officials!

This, coupled with their ruthless approach to completing missions and their willingness to take on assassination jobs to maintain the organization's healthy operation, has made them infamous and universally hated.

However, when it comes to business matters—specifically, tracking and tracing—he is one of the most professional people in the world!
