Infiltrating the world of cultivation

The life of the King of Qin was also quite controversial, and public opinion about him was mixed.

Those scholars and writers all condemned him, believing that his methods of sweeping across the six states were too bloody and lacked benevolence and righteousness.

Their standardized writing system and carriage tracks erased much of the culture, and their governance of the country was even more wasteful and exhausting.

The Great Wall, which normally takes thirty years to complete, was compressed into just one year. During this time, countless people died. It can be said that this Great Wall was built with blood and flesh.

These scholars, who controlled the direction of public opinion, spread this message widely, and the people who heard it felt nothing but resentment towards the King of Qin.

However, there are still some people who have a very objective perspective: the seven states fought each other for over a thousand years, while the King of Qin swept across the six states in just ten years.

Ten years later, there will be no more wars in the world!

People only saw his killings during those ten years, but they didn't see that before that, the seven kingdoms had been at war for a thousand years, leaving countless corpses!

People only saw that he wasted manpower and resources, completing a 30-year project in a year, but they did not see that the Qin army blocked a million Xiongnu outside the Great Wall.

Every decision has two sides. How can one find a way to have it all, to be true to both Buddha and one's beloved?

After listening to everyone's conversation, Wang Chao became somewhat curious about the King of Qin, who was able to achieve the combat power of the Foundation Establishment stage with just a mortal body.

This can only be described as a genius. No wonder Ying Su is so monstrous. With such a monstrous father, it would be strange if he were weak.

"This Qin King's tomb is most likely a fake, but even if it is a fake Qin King's tomb, it still has many advantages."

We weren't the only ones to get the news; many of my fellow disciples also received it, and even the royal family of the Qin Empire might be involved.

However, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage cannot participate. In this way, with my Qi Refining level nine cultivation, which is already top-tier, it would be easy for me to seize an opportunity.

"If I get to eat meat, you'll get soup too."

The words of the cultivator surnamed Ma from the Northern Region Sword Sect delighted everyone.

This boastful guy hasn't even gotten any benefits yet, and he's already spouting nonsense. The dynasty has also become interested in the Qin King's tomb. After all, he's the father of Ying Su, so it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

That city of Luoyang was the imperial city of the Qin Dynasty before it swept across the six states, and it was also the ancestral home of the Qin kings.

That place was turned upside down after the King of Qin died; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they dug three feet into the ground.

They've searched for so long without finding him, and now they say they've discovered his tomb? It just doesn't sound believable.

Under strong pressure from the crowd, the cultivator surnamed Ma paid a reward of one hundred low-grade spirit stones. After all, his cultivation level was much higher than the others. If he simply left after the matter was settled, the others would be left with nothing but glares.

Amidst the horse-faced cultivator's extremely displeased expression, Wang Chao and his companions received one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

From Yingshan City to Luoyang City, it almost spans half of the Qin Empire.

Luoyang was located in the southeast of the Qin Empire, and its route of advance was not too far off from that of the dynasty. His original intention was also to move eastward.

At their current speed, it would be two months before they arrived in Luoyang.

This was only because the cultivator surnamed Ma used his connections and had no obstacles along the way. If it were the dynasty that was handling this, it would probably take much longer.

The architectural style of Luoyang City is significantly different from that of other cities, and it looks very ancient. The dynasty learned this because Luoyang City was the ancestral home of the King of Qin.

To ensure that the King of Qin could feel at home every time he returned, the style of this place has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The cost of annual renovation and maintenance of the buildings in Luoyang is enormous.

After Wang Chao and his group entered Luoyang, they could clearly sense that the people walking on the streets all possessed very powerful auras.

It is likely that the seemingly peaceful city of Luoyang is already in turmoil.

Ten inns in a row were fully booked, which clearly showed that the news of the discovery of the Qin King's tomb had spread far and wide.

Many people came because of its reputation, but many others didn't come to compete for the opportunity; they just came to watch the excitement.

After all, the discovery of the Qin King's tomb is a major event.

The fact that the King of Qin possessed the combat power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator despite lacking innate spiritual roots undoubtedly overturned many people's traditional views.

It wasn't just cultivators who hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage; some powerful martial artists were also secretly coveting it, since it could change their fate.

After searching for a long time, no one could find an inn with available rooms. With no other option, the cultivator surnamed Ma announced that everyone should disperse on the spot and regroup here in two days.

Wang Chao headed straight for the teahouse and tavern; he needed to find out about the current situation.

His understanding of the Qin Dynasty was still very limited, and he needed to go to well-informed places to learn more about the situation.

While in a teahouse and tavern, Wang Chao gained a preliminary understanding of the Qin Dynasty's overall structure.

The Qin Dynasty at present can truly be described as a mess. The King of Qin has passed away, and the Second Emperor of Qin, Ying Hai, has ascended the throne. However, Ying Hai is licentious and tyrannical, causing the people to suffer greatly.

With the rise of diverse and deeply entrenched forces among the common people, the imperial court's control over local areas has weakened, and it can barely maintain its operation by relying solely on strict laws.

The city of Xi'an is currently teeming with numerous forces, large and small, but the dynasty senses that there may be some conspiracy at play.

Because there are several obvious suspicious points here.

First of all, the city of Xi'an was thoroughly searched after the death of the King of Qin, but not a single hair was found. But now, news has suddenly come out that the tomb of the King of Qin has been discovered.

Regardless of who spread the news, looking beyond the surface, that person's goal must be to gather everyone in Luoyang.

Moreover, those who come with confidence must feel they have a good chance of winning, so their cultivation level must be quite high.

Who has the audacity to bring together so many powerful individuals? And what is their ultimate goal?

Since suffering a loss at Daheishan, Wang Chao has become more cautious in his thinking. Life is precious, but one should not be sentimental.

Currently, the biggest problem is whether the Qin King's tomb really exists. Regardless of whether it exists or not, it remains a question.

If it exists, where is it? Why was it not found even after the entire city of Luoyang was dug up?

If it doesn't exist, who leaked the information, and what was their purpose in doing so?

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of Luoyang, undercurrents surged, and many forces were secretly maneuvering. Clearly, regardless of the accuracy of the information, everyone wanted to gain the upper hand.
