Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Too careless.

Ignoring the fact that the Moon Goddess lived in ancient times, she had not been exposed to those complex and confusing thoughts.

The two people have completely different focuses on this matter.

"Sister Moon Goddess, do you think Donghuang Taiyi is actually a man who just likes to wear women's clothes?"

Donghuang Taiyi: Achoo, Achoo, who is slandering me?

Moon Goddess: ……………………

She looked at Zhao Chen with a strange expression.

"Sir, why do you have such thoughts? How could Lord Donghuang be that kind of person?"

"Sister Yueshen, what kind of person do you think Donghuang Taiyi is in your mind?"

"In my mind, Donghuang Taiyi is an extremely powerful and strategic figure. He made the Yin-Yang School the leader among all schools of thought. He is very impressive!"

"If that's the case, then why have you never suspected the reason why Donghuang Taiyi wore a black robe and hid his head and showed his tail? This is very strange.

People who like to hide themselves usually don't want to be misunderstood by others. They feel that their inner thoughts or feelings do not need to be known by others, or they worry that others will misunderstand their purpose.

Perhaps it is because they lack a sense of trust, or perhaps they have suffered hurt or betrayal, which makes them dare not trust others easily and unwilling to disclose personal privacy.

Others enjoy the sense of mystery, believing that remaining mysterious can attract more attention or add to their charm.

Another possibility is that he has something unspeakable, or he is hiding from his enemies.

According to Donghuang Taiyi's style of doing things, the above statements are untenable, because he himself is one of the most powerful figures in the world, and no one here can pose a threat to him.

The only possibility is that he doesn't want others to know about his private life and is unwilling to expose himself to the public.

Doesn’t this describe the current Donghuang Taiyi?

Isn't it because men like to wear women's clothes that they are afraid of being seen?"

The Moon Goddess couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sir, your imagination is too rich. Perhaps Lady Donghuang is actually a woman? She may choose to wear a black robe and not show her true face because of the many inconveniences of being a woman.

If this is true, then Lady Donghuang is truly amazing. A woman can make the Yin-Yang family so powerful, surpassing so many men from other families. This is truly admirable."

Having said this, an expression of admiration appeared on the Moon Goddess's face.

"Ah, this..."

The situation seems to be developing in an unexpected direction.

In this male-dominated era, a woman like Yue Shen, despite being named the Qin State Master, is still looked down upon by many men.

Now, such a powerful woman has emerged and become one of the top beings.

It is indeed admirable, and the worship of the Moon Goddess makes sense.

But that's not the point!

The key point should be that Donghuang Taiyi is a cross-dressing man, right?

Never mind, we just have different levels of thinking, there is nothing much to say.

"Well then, Sister Moon Goddess, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Congratulations to send your son!"

………………

For the next three days, Zhao Chen did not leave the house, but just fished, played chess and practiced.

However, many changes took place in the Qin Dynasty.

First, the agricultural tools designed by Zhao Chen for Gongshu Chou were well-received by Ying Zheng after they were tried out. Ying Zheng ordered people to make them with all their strength and distribute them to the people of Xianyang City. He also planned to promote them to the entire Qin State.

In order to delay the imitation of the six countries, border defenses were tightened.

In addition, in the military, three pieces of equipment specially designed for war horses completely solved the problem of Qin's war horses.

Generals such as Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Wei Liao became more confident.

The weapons made of steel were even more eye-opening, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

They are now waiting for the entire army to be fully armed, and then they will show the sharp claws of the Qin Dynasty to the six countries.

By comparison, the fate of Lü Buwei was even greater. Ying Zheng, already in dire straits, was precipitated by Zhao Chen's final move. In a single day, the power Lü Buwei had cultivated for years within the Xianyang Palace was completely crushed. His network of forces turned against him, and he was ultimately exiled to Shu on numerous charges, leaving him desolate.

From then on, Ying Zheng completely controlled the power of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Chen was not surprised by all this. At least if Lü Buwei had stayed in Shu and retired, he would not have died. However, if he still wanted to be unruly, there would be only one result - death!

In addition, because Lu Buwei was exiled early, the Lao Ai incident was avoided, and his father did not have a half-brother, which indirectly saved his father's face.

At noon that day, Yan Fei finally returned, accompanied not only by Yun Zhongjun but also several carriages loaded with bamboo slips. Not only that, Xiao Meng and Xiao Yi also returned from their retreat.

Xiaomeng has broken through to the middle stage of Grandmaster, while Xiaoyi has entered the early stage of Grandmaster.

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Yi, you've been practicing for half a month, don't you feel bored?" Zhao Chen was puzzled. After all, for him, just breathing could increase his Qi.

"Brother Chen, you're just talking nonsense, aren't you?" Xiao Meng glanced at Zhao Chen with a hint of resentment. Now nearly twelve years old, Xiao Meng, unaffected by the Taoist philosophy of inaction, had retained her girlish curiosity and lively personality under Zhao Chen's influence, at least when he was around her.

"Hehe, this is really boring! You can take this opportunity to teach me Taoist martial arts. I contacted Teacher Bei Mingzi before, but he went out for a trip. It's really puzzling." Zhao Chen asked puzzledly.

"Master, you're not a wanderer. It's clearly you who's being annoying." Xiao Meng muttered to herself, thinking that even the usually quiet and inactive Master Bei Mingzi had been given such a headache by you that he had to avoid her. As for Master Xunzi, he was so enraged by you that he cursed and left Xianyang Palace. What else do you want to know?"

"Since you, brother Chen, are so eager to learn Taoist martial arts, let me teach you the basic Taoist internal skills and some of the advanced techniques that I practice."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Chen nodded excitedly.

Xiaoyi quietly left, but Xiaomeng didn't notice.

Then, Xiao Meng began to explain the Taoist philosophy to Zhao Chen in detail.

You listened to the Taoist internal energy method "Zhou Tian Gong" and suddenly gained a new understanding. Your Qi training technique was further improved, and you successfully began the foundation-building method.

You listened to the Taoist teachings "Ten Thousand Rivers and Autumn Water," "A Heart Like Still Water," and "Harmony with the Light and Dust," and gained new insights and mastered the Nine-Character Mantra.

**! Foundation-building method, the nine-character mantra.

Is this the nine-word mantra I've heard of? If so, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!

After some reflection, Zhao Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the difference was indeed not that great. As expected of the Taoist tradition passed down by the sage Laozi, this sudden enlightenment was truly remarkable.

It seems I've truly entered the realm of immortality! Thanks to the sage Laozi, and thanks to my willpower! This time, I've truly reached a new level. Hahahaha!!

Zhao Chen's heart was filled with excitement.

Others are practicing martial arts, while I am cultivating immortality. We are completely different!

If the Nine-Character Mantra were further simplified, what kind of cultivation method would it be? Zhao Chen thought with great anticipation!

"Brother Chen, have you gained any new insights?" Xiao Meng asked when she saw Zhao Chen so excited.

After she came out of seclusion, she naturally discovered that Zhao Chen had actually reached the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. You know, before her seclusion, he hadn't even touched this realm, and now, less than half a month later, he had become a master of the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. Is he still human?

This is clearly a genius.

In the past, her master said that Zhao Chen was a born sage, but she didn't believe it at the time. Now, she is completely convinced.

But why did he behave so mediocre, even a little naughty, before he was three years old?

I really can’t understand it, I really can’t understand it.

"Hehe, I do have new insights. Combining this with Taoist principles, my Qi-refining skills have advanced even further. I was originally worried about not having a successor after my complete breakthrough, but now I don't have to worry anymore. Furthermore, I've also learned the Nine-Character Mantra based on Taoist principles. Internal cultivation and external training each have their own miraculous effects. Xiaomeng, do you want to learn? I can teach you."

"Really? Thank you, brother Chen!"

Xiao Meng was also a bit of a martial arts fanatic, so when she heard about the more powerful **, she was naturally very interested.

Zhao Chen began to explain the "Taishang Taoism Chapter", which instantly opened a new door for Xiaomeng.

So Taoism can be used in this way?

For example, "Harmony with Light and Dust"—when practiced to perfection—not only allows one to merge with nature, but also allows one to change positions, as if teleporting. However, the range is limited, and there are many flaws.

In Zhao Chen's nine-character mantra, the word "Xing" represents the limit of speed. When one cultivates to the limit, it is like teleporting through space.

After you explained the Nine-Character Mantra to Xiaomeng, you gained a new understanding of it. The practice of the Nine-Character Mantra was simplified to the movements of daily life (sitting, lying, running, walking, jumping, etc.).

Zhao Chen: ………………

Isn’t this everyday life?

Never mind, no need to practice deliberately, it’s good, I like it very much.

"Brother Chen, is this really the Taoist Nine-Character Mantra? Each word contains such terrifying power. Why has no one figured it out before?"

"That's because you haven't met me. If you had met me earlier, you would have figured it out long ago."

???

Xiaomeng looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.

Why does this sound so unreliable?

Being looked at like this by her, Zhao Chen felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem! Xiaomeng, do you have any other questions about this nine-character mantra?"

"No, I'm going to practice."

"Wait a minute, Xiaomeng, can you contact the people from the Shangtian Sect? Ask them to bring the Taoist classics over for me to see."

"Okay, I'll contact my senior brothers right away and ask them to send all the Taoist classics over!"

"Well, go ahead and practice. But don't push yourself so hard this time! Practice requires a balance between work and rest, otherwise you'll easily go astray. From now on, you can't practice for more than four hours a day, and you have to eat on time..."

"Brother Chen, I understand. I'll contact my senior brother now."

Xiao Meng, who was getting impatient, teleported away immediately!!!

Zhao Chen: ………………

Is it necessary to be so afraid?

As for leaving by teleporting?

Ok?

Xiao Meng's teleportation just now seemed to have used the "Xing" technique, combined with "harmony among the world".
