Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

In the original storyline, Shi Zhixuan resolved his mental issues by using the relic.

"Or a powerful expert who is proficient in the Undying Seal Technique and skilled in the art of the mind could intervene and help one of his personalities gain the upper hand, thus eliminating the other. However, this method also has drawbacks; it is difficult to say whether the personality that survives the elimination is good or evil."

"Are there any other methods?"

"That depends on his own fate. Either one of his two personalities wins the battle, or they perish together and he becomes an idiot."

Shi Qingxuan's heart sank, and her expression turned grim: "If we use the second method, what are the chances that his kind personality will prevail?"

"I can't speak for others, but I've cultivated a demonic seed, so I can detect people's thought fluctuations. I'm at least 80% confident in this."

She then let out a slight sigh of relief and took out a scroll from her bosom: "This is the secret manual of the Undying Seal Technique. I beg Commander Yue for your assistance."

Song Que also spoke up at the right time: "General Yue, please help Qingxuan!"

Yue Zhuoqun took the manual and smiled: "Since even Clan Chief Song has spoken, I can't refuse. However, comprehending the Undying Seal Technique will take some time, so I need to make him unconscious first."

After saying that, he came to the side of the berserk Shi Zhixuan.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes blazed with ferocity, and he waved his hands, still wanting to attack, but Yue Zhuoqun pointed a finger at him, and he fell into a coma.

"Master Song, our duel is not yet over."

Song Que smiled slightly: "General Yue's swordsmanship is no worse than mine, and his strength far surpasses mine. There is no need to continue."

"The clan leader is being modest; before the ninth strike is made, no one dares to be confident of victory."

Song Que's eyes sharpened as he looked at Yue Zhuoqun with a serious expression: "I didn't expect that Commander Yue had already seen through the ninth variation hidden in my swordsmanship."

Since he created the Ninth Form, he has never used it on anyone, and no outsider knows about it.

"This must be a devastating blow; please, Lord Clan, make your move."

If Song Que isn't allowed to unleash his strongest attack, today's battle will never be truly complete.

"In that case, Commander Yue, please be careful!"

Keng!

An invisible blade of energy shot up from Song Que's body, as if the sky itself had been torn in two.

Chapter 205 The Prosperous Era of Qian Yuan

Yue Zhuoqun was surprised to find that Song Que's entire demeanor changed after he unleashed this strike.

If he were in the mortal realm before, this strike would have stood proudly above the Dao.

The Innate Wonderland allows one to connect with the universe, forge an innate spiritual body, and achieve a transformative metamorphosis.

Within this realm, manipulating the power of heaven and earth is merely a basic manifestation; what is more important is to comprehend the essence of martial arts to its fullest extent.

Bi Xuan, Ning Daoqi, and Fu Cailin became the three great martial arts masters because they all created their own martial arts, developed their own unique martial arts philosophy, and made extremely high progress. In the Twin Dragons world, they are like three insurmountable martial arts mountains.

The emphasis of the two characters 'Dao Yi' is on 'Yi' (meaning/intention), which is a 'flower' that blooms from 'Dao'.

Therefore, no matter how high and unscalable these three mountains are, they are still a manifestation of 'intention' and have never transcended 'the Way'.

Song Que's strike was different; he rediscovered himself within the "intention," no longer merely a sword technique, but an extension of himself, a "path" of his own.

This is similar to Yue Zhuoqun's path to imperial power, as they both touched the threshold of transcendence.

Once you take this final step, you will reach the realm of divine will. Build your divine power with your will, and take the path as your way.

"What a fine swordsman, Song Que!" Yue Zhuoqun's eyes also showed a hint of solemnity as he faced this strike.

Guided by the will of the Emperor, he transformed all the sword techniques he had cultivated into one, merging his essence, energy, and spirit with the sword technique.

Keng!

The void trembled, and the world lost its color.

His strike was filled with murderous intent, yet devoid of any evil; it was like a king's judgment, majestic, noble, and inviolable.

hum!

The two blades clashed, crushing and annihilating each other.

The sheer scale of the scene deafened the onlookers, yet they felt no fear of destruction, only utter fascination.

It's like being immersed in a sea of ​​swordsmanship, grasping the essence of 'Tao' and gaining enlightenment.

By the time they came to their senses, the battle had ended and the world had returned to normal.

Yue Zhuoqun concealed his aura, a smile playing on his lips, as gentle as a spring breeze. Song Que's eyes shone brightly, revealing a detached and delighted joy. It was difficult to discern who had won or lost.

But a careful observer noticed that a drop of blood had slid down Song Que's fingertip.

"General Yue's path to the throne has completely convinced Song Que. No, he can no longer be called 'General Yue,' but rather 'Emperor Yue.'"

At this moment, Yue Zhuoqun completely gained his approval.

Yue Zhuoqun smiled and nodded, glancing around.

As dawn broke in the east, the night was about to end, and the shouts of battle in Chang'an gradually subsided.

"In half a month, I will officially establish the country and begin the dynasty in Luoyang."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Congratulatory voices rang out from all around.

With the fall of Chang'an and the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains are about to be unified.

With the defeat of Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin, foreign powers such as Goguryeo and the Turks will also lose their protectors, and it will only be a matter of time before they are unified.

From this moment on, no one dared to disobey Yue Zhuoqun.

……

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Yue Zhuoqun sat cross-legged.

Before him were displayed martial arts manuals such as "The Heavenly Demon Strategy", "The Longevity Manual", "The Compassionate Sword Manual", "The Scripture of Wisdom for Controlling All Laws", "The Immortal Seal Technique", and "The Yi Sword Technique", as well as the Evil Emperor's Relic radiating an eerie light and the He Shi Bi jade with a sacred aura.

These martial arts manuals delve deeply into the spiritual path, forming the foundation for his complete mastery of the Imperial Spirit.

It was included in the scope of the conquest several years ago, and today it has finally been completely gathered.

He carefully examined these martial arts manuals, comprehended their mysteries, and then picked up the Evil Emperor's Relic, sensing it with the fluctuations of the demonic seed.

hum!

The relic instantly emitted a green light, and a surge of powerful true energy and spiritual energy flowed into his dantian.

The He Shi Bi jade disc sensed something and automatically floated above his head, its energy descending and entering his crown chakra.

The true energy of the Supreme Longevity Cultivation Technique in the Dantian and the power of the Demon Seed embraced and rotated, finally igniting the Yin Yang and Yang Yin in their respective domains, forming the shape of a Tai Chi diagram.

The Demon Seed is like a Yang spirit cultivated from the Yin evil of death, while the Supreme Technique is like a Yin spirit bursting forth for life.

Yin and Yang embrace each other, mutually generating and complementing each other, achieving perfect harmony.

The power of destiny merged with his spirit, transforming into a divine dragon that became the yin-yang dividing line of the Tai Chi diagram, ruling over everything.

When the mutually generating and harmonizing forces flow from the dantian into the meridians, they are no longer limited to the Dao or the demon, but belong to the special true qi of the imperial way.

Yue Zhuoqun was also in this state, officially stepping from the initial formation of the imperial way to the great completion of the imperial way.

When he opened his eyes, the Evil Emperor's Relic and the He Shi Bi had become ancient and unassuming inanimate objects, devoid of any strangeness.

The Evil Emperor's Relic, a collection of the true energy and spirit of successive Evil Emperors, was undeniably vast. However, a portion of it was first absorbed by Xiang Yutian, and then another portion was absorbed by him, leaving no power remaining.

The same applies to the extraordinary power and fortune that the He Shi Bi jade has accumulated over the centuries.

"System, are these two things still useful?"

[The Evil Emperor's Relic, an event item, is essentially a yellow crystal formed from the essence of the earth. It can be used to store true energy and spiritual insights.]

[The He Shi Bi, an item from a historical event, is essentially a jade crystal formed from a spiritual vein. It is naturally affinity with destiny and can continue to be used to suppress the nation's fate.]

"So they can recover." Yue Zhuoqun understood.

"How much value would I get if I exchanged it?"

The Evil Emperor's Relic can be exchanged for 1500 Martial Coins and 200 Luck Points; the He Shi Bi can be exchanged for 1000 Martial Coins and 300 Luck Points.

To purchase either of these items in the shop, you need 500 Luck Points.

The value obtained from the sale is not unreasonable.

"The He Shi Bi can be passed down as an imperial seal, while the Evil Emperor's Relic is no longer needed. Let's exchange it for it."

[Ding! The Evil Emperor's Relic has been successfully exchanged. The host currently possesses 4880 Martial Coins and 976 Luck Points.]

……

Half a month later, Yue Zhuoqun established the Qian Dynasty in Luoyang and changed the era name to Qianyuan.

On this same day, various foreign tribes, including Goguryeo, Khitan, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, surrendered and their territories were incorporated into the rule of the Daqian Dynasty.

The only forces that continued to resist the Great Qian were the Eastern and Western Turks, as well as small separatist forces such as Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and Liu Wuzhou, who were subordinate to the Turks.

After Yue Zhuoqun ascended the throne, he immediately set about improving the rites and laws and the system, and granted a general amnesty.

He then proclaimed to the world that he would hold an imperial examination to select officials.

For someone who had been an emperor before, these things were a piece of cake.

Meritorious generals also received rewards:
