Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

As a living person, Xiao Meng wandered around the underworld. With the care of Ying An and the Lord of Mount Tai, not only was she not affected by the death aura of the underworld, but because of the yin energy, her spiritual foundation was strengthened.

Don't underestimate this little bit of Yin Qi; if it were in the Yang world, it would dissipate in just a few days. But for a Soul Cultivator, if they can seize the opportunity and contemplate the Soul Secret Technique during this period, they can even increase the probability of an ordinary person's Soul emerging from their body.

Don’t think that those who have been taught the secret art of the soul by Ying An can skip the stage of hatching in an instant, and that hatching is really easy.

To some extent, hatching can be said to be the first hurdle on the road of spiritual cultivation.

If a person's mind and realm are not high enough, even if he can reach the level of concentration, it is absolutely impossible for him to hatch directly.

Don’t take Hong Yi as an example. After all, Hong Yi was able to become an immortal in six years.

Even Ying An would not dare to compete with a prodigy like Hong Yi. At the very least, Ying An knew very well that if he had not obtained the template system, even if he was given the cultivation environment and techniques of the Yangshen World, he would not be able to reach his current level in such a short time.

Hatching is an extremely dangerous stage, especially for children with weak minds.

Bei Mingzi naturally also felt the yin energy wrapped around Xiao Meng, and wondered how beneficial it would be for her spiritual cultivation.

However, Bei Mingzi did not intend to teach Xiao Meng the soul cultivation method so early.

Children's bodies are not strong, and their qi and blood are not enough to restrain their spirits. Sometimes, even a single fright is enough to make a child's soul leave the body.

In the plan designed by Bei Mingzi for Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng could only improve her spiritual cultivation within a few years, but he would never teach Xiao Meng things like hatching and various spiritual secrets.

This is like the world of Yangshen. The various philosophers and great scholars are clearly only focused on studying the principles of the world and improving their own wisdom, but once an inspiration comes, their souls and bodies leave their bodies in an instant, and even surviving several thunder tribulations seems like a piece of cake.

The essence of the soul is the foundation of the great way. Secret techniques of the soul, hatching, night travel, and day travel are just means.

"Huh?" Ying An had just given Xiao Meng a chance to satisfy her inner regret, and then he discovered the unusual movement at the foot of Mount Tai.

Glancing at the Confucian disciples in front of him, including Bei Mingzi, Donghuang Taiyi, and Xunzi, Ying An said, "Lord Chu Nan has arrived at the foot of Mount Tai. I wonder if anyone among you would like to go and greet him?"

"Let me do it!" Xunzi also realized at this time that Ying An was clearly planning to take advantage of his previous communication with the various schools of thought to target the Lord of Mount Tai and regain control of the various schools of thought in one fell swoop!

Under such circumstances, whether the Confucians wanted to or not, they had actually become accomplices of Ying An.

Since that's the case, why not try to gain some benefits for Confucianism first? At the very least, at least try to gain some respect from Ying An.

"Let me do it!!" Donghuang Taiyi quickly competed with Xunzi for this task that was like running errands.

"Mr. Nan had promised before to join my Yin-Yang family, but he always stayed outside of the family. This time, I just want to recruit Mr. Nan again!" Donghuang Taiyi explained.

Xunzi frowned, and finally sighed, choosing to give the task of inviting Lord Chu Nan to Donghuang Taiyi.

A portal leading directly to the foot of Mount Tai suddenly lit up in front of Donghuang Taiyi.

As Donghuang Taiyi stepped in, his figure instantly crossed thousands of miles and appeared in front of Chu Nangong.

Chapter 198: The Legacy of the Ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor! Meeting the Saint!

"Interesting! Really interesting!!"

Facing Donghuang Taiyi who appeared in front of him from nowhere across space, Lord Chu Nan showed a curious look.

Looking at the space gate with great interest, Chu Nangong asked, "Donghuang Taiyi, is this a trick of your Yin-Yang family?"

"Greetings, Lord Nan!" Donghuang Taiyi clasped his fists and said, "This is the master's magical power!"

Nodding thoughtfully, Chu Nangong said, "Could this young master you're talking about be the one who created the Lord of Mount Tai in the Underworld?"

"That's right!!" Donghuang Taiyi knew very well that Lord Chu Nan was not a simple existence.

Apart from other things, Lord Chu Nan possessed the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, a treasure passed down from the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. This was a treasure that even Donghuang Taiyi could not borrow.

To a certain extent, if we were to ask who in the world knows the most about ancient things, it would probably be Lord Chu Nan in front of us.

"Great! What a great Underworld! What a great Lord of Mount Tai!" Lord Chu Nan laughed heartily and said, "Donghuang Taiyi, you are here to take me to see some young master, right?"

"Nan Gong, please come in!" Dong Huang Taiyi moved aside to open the space door, and casually opened it with his hand, saying, "Young Master, you have been waiting for a long time!"

Lord Chu Nan took a small step forward, but then paused. He looked back at the Confucian disciples beside him with deep emotion and said, "At this time of great change in the world, I really don't know how many of the various schools of thought will remain!"

Chu Nangong's words made the faces of the Confucian disciples present suddenly change.

But unfortunately, before these Confucian disciples could ask anything, Lord Chu Nan had already walked quickly towards the space gate and was swallowed up by it in an instant.

Donghuang Taiyi obviously understood what Duke Chu Nan meant.

It seems that Duke Chu Nan is issuing a warning to these Confucian disciples, but in fact, isn't he also testing Ying An's attitude?

However, in Donghuang Taiyi's opinion, the reason why Duke Chu Nan behaved like this was because he was not clear about Ying An's strength. Otherwise, he would understand that things are different now!

Ying An's terrifying strength, relying solely on his own strength, is enough to suppress the world. In the face of such terrifying personal power, everything except equal strength is nothing.

Inside the Zhao Palace.

As he stepped out of the space gate, Lord Chu Nan soon saw Bei Mingzi, Xunzi and others.

After nodding and greeting a few old acquaintances with a smile, Lord Chu Nan's gaze quickly fell on Ying An.

After only a fleeting glance at Ying An, Duke Chu Nan immediately revealed a look of panic. He quickly bowed his head and kowtowed to Ying An, saying, "The hermit of Chu State pays homage to the Saint!"

Ying An, however, looked at this person with great interest, whom he regarded as the most mysterious among all the schools of thought.

Although Duke Chu Nan became a retainer of Li Si in the future and was independent of the Yin-Yang School, he seemed to be a profit-seeking person.

But he was able to leave behind the motto "Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will destroy Qin." Furthermore, with the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book in hand, how could Lord Chu Nan be truly an ordinary beauty?

Not to mention anything else, even Ying An was very curious about the Huangshi Heavenly Book in Lord Chu Nan's hand.

Before Ying An could speak, Lord Chu Nan, who was kneeling on the ground to pay his respects to Ying An, had already respectfully taken out from his arms a scroll of bamboo slips that was neither made of bamboo nor wood, but looked like jade.

Or to be more precise, this is a jade slip.

Holding the jade scroll in his hands, Chu Nangong said, "This item was obtained by chance. It is said to have been written by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and was once obtained by Emperor Xuanyuan and Taigong Wang."

"Oh? Is this the famous Huangshi Heavenly Book?" Ying An made a move with his hand, and with his powerful spiritual power, he instantly took the Huangshi Heavenly Book in Chu Nangong's hand into his own hand.

Reaching out and gently stroking the jade slip, in just a moment, Ying An had already understood that although this Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was not as good as the king of artifacts in the Yangshen world, it was definitely not inferior to the Holy Emperor's magic weapon in the general sense.

Unfortunately, although he obtained the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, Ying An had a vague feeling that now was not the time for him to open the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and read its contents.

When one reaches Ying An's level, his spiritual consciousness can communicate with the stars in the sky, and everything will happen as he pleases.

Since he was reminded on a whim that he should not read the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book at this moment, Ying An naturally put it into the small world of the Qiankun cloth bag.

"Nan Gong." Ying An looked at Chu Nan Gong. Since he had accepted the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book presented by Chu Nan Gong, he naturally had to take Chu Nan Gong under his wing.

Apart from anything else, Duke Chu Nan's identity and reputation in the State of Chu alone destined him to become Ying An's next weapon against the State of Chu.

After all, Duke Chu Nan's words, "Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin," caused so much uproar.

No matter from which perspective, accepting Duke Chu Nan would be of no harm to Ying An.

"I am just a hermit in Chu State, and I don't deserve the title of Sage Nan Gong." Chu Nan Gong hurriedly explained.

God knows what he saw in Ying An the moment he saw him just now. Even at this moment, even the loli Xiao Meng could feel the fear and awe that Lord Chu Nan had for Ying An from the bottom of his heart.

"It's just an ordinary title. Don't take it seriously." Ying An laughed and said, "Since you've presented me with the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, would you be willing to do some legwork for me? Go to the State of Chu and recruit talented people?"

Lord Chu Nan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately agreed and said, "I am willing to serve you at your service!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Ying An generously taught the Golden Crow visualization method to Lord Chu Nan in an instant, and with the backhand of his hand, he opened a space portal leading to the State of Chu.

"You go ahead. I hope you can bring me good news next time!!"

"Thank you, Saint, for teaching me the Dharma!" Duke Chu Nan bowed again before respectfully stepping into the space portal leading to the State of Chu.

Wait until this space portal leading to the State of Chu disappears.

Donghuang Taiyi finally spoke: "Sir, is there anything wrong with Lord Nan?"

The conflict between Ying An and Duke Chu Nan was so obvious that not only Donghuang Taiyi but even Xiao Meng felt something was amiss.

"Nothing!" Ying An smiled meaningfully and said, "It's just that this Lord Chu Nan is probably not from the Central Plains, right?"

"This..." Donghuang Taiyi was speechless for a moment. Although he did recruit Chu Nangong into the Yin-Yang family, unfortunately, Chu Nangong was isolated from the Yin-Yang family and only had a nominal presence there.

As for the origins of Lord Chu Nan, very few people in the world knew about it, let alone Donghuang Taiyi.

"There seems to be a rumor that Lord Nan is from Baiyue." Bei Mingzi seemed to have thought of something and said, "But such talk will soon be ridiculed by the world!

Chapter 199: Bathed in the Blood of Gods and Demons! The Secret of Lord Chu Nan!

"Nan Gong is actually from Baiyue?" Fu Nian was really surprised. He had never heard such a statement before.

Lord Chu Nan was always shrouded in mystery, and no one knew his true background. The various schools of thought often held him in high esteem. After all, Lord Chu Nan was the third person, after Emperor Xuanyuan and Taigong Wang and Jiang Ziya, to have clearly obtained the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book.

"Could it be that Duke Nan intends to harm you and the Central Plains?" Xunzi's face suddenly darkened.

Although there have always been rumors that Duke Chu Nan was from the Baiyue people, no one, whether among the various schools of thought or the various nations, believed such claims.

The reason is very simple. Who made the Central Plains so powerful now that it can look down on the world?

Even though the State of Yan was often beaten, it was able to find time to deal with the northern barbarians while dealing with the Central Plains countries, expand its territorial potential, and strengthen the territory of the State of Yan.

Even the weakest of the seven countries, such as Han, could join forces with Chu to destroy the entire Baiyue in one fell swoop.

On the Zhao side, Li Mu alone defeated the northern wolf tribe and suffered heavy casualties.

It can be said that despite the constant fighting among the seven nations, the prestige of Zhuxia at this moment was earned through real fighting, and it was not compromised at all.

In the future, the Han Dynasty, which claims to be one Han against the Five Barbarians, will never be comparable to the various Xia states at that time.

In the eyes of the various countries in the Xia Dynasty, except for the Central Plains, the rest are barbarians, not even human beings.

Duke Chu Nan was, after all, a famous scholar who was highly praised. His name was known throughout the seven kingdoms, and many of the various schools of thought who had come into contact with him praised him highly.

In the eyes of various philosophers, how could such a learned man come from a barbarian group that was not even human?

However, what Ying An said at this moment really made everyone present start to reflect.

Although the various schools of thought had their inner pride, they were definitely not so arrogant as to ignore the threats around them and hide in their own small circles.

Not to mention other things, wearing Hu clothes and riding and shooting was a reform among the Xia people.

The overwhelming strength he displayed made it impossible for all the schools of thought to believe that Duke Chu Nan might really come from outside the Zhuxia realm.

"It may not be disadvantageous to the Central Plains!!" Ying An's sight seemed to penetrate the distance of thousands of miles and saw Duke Chu Nan after he was sent to the State of Chu.

After pondering for a moment, Ying An said, "This Lord Chu Nan is no simple matter! The people he really wants to target may not be the people of the Central Plains. It could even be people!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then quickly showed a look of shock.

The target isn't the people of the Central Plains, but the people? What does this mean?

Previously, Xunzi believed that the Lord of Mount Tai was a returning ancient god or demon, and called on all schools of thought and nations to target him. Could it be that Duke Chu Nan was the true representative of the returning ancient god or demon?

"Young Master? Could it be that behind Lord Nan are... those ancient gods and demons?" Donghuang Taiyi's tone couldn't help but become solemn.

Ying An shook his head and said, "The ancient gods and demons have long since completely vanished after countless attacks. Although their bloodlines still remain, they can no longer be seen in their former glory!"

"The ancient gods and demons still have bloodlines left?" Bei Mingzi was really curious.

"That's right! In the land of Baiyue, those beings whose bloodlines inherit all kinds of strange and unusual skills are the ones who have been tainted with the blood of gods and demons!"

Xunzi said solemnly, "Sir, the bloodline of ancient gods and demons must be guarded against!!"

Ying An looked at Xunzi with a strange expression. Almost the moment Xunzi opened his mouth, Ying An had already judged that Xunzi was clearly planning to divert the blame!

The Confucianists made a mistake, but because they were closest to Mount Tai, they became the ones who came to join the Confucian School, second only to Bei Mingzi and Donghuang Taiyi.

Once this news leaked, Confucianism would inevitably become the target of public criticism. Xunzi was simply trying to exploit this opportunity and redirect the various schools of thought that had gathered against the Lord of Mount Tai to target the Baiyue.

Of course, to be more precise, it is aimed at those people among the Baiyue whose bloodline inherits the ancient gods and demons' strange arts.

"That's not necessary!" Ying An rejected Xunzi's proposal without thinking.

People like Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui are born with special skills, such as controlling water and fire, or having bodies that are invulnerable to swords and spears. Although this power does come from the inheritance of ancient gods and demons, the inheritance does not necessarily come from bloodline descendants.

There is another possibility that the ancestors of Yan Lingji, Wushuang Gui and others were beings who fought against ancient gods and demons. However, in the battle with gods and demons, they bathed in the blood of gods and demons, acquired some innate supernatural powers, and even transformed the supernatural powers of gods and demons into their own bloodline inheritance.

Without ruling out this possibility, Ying An would certainly not call on the hundreds of families to kill all the Baiyue people.

After explaining to Xunzi, Ying An felt that someone appeared at the foot of Mount Tai again.

It seems that the news Xunzi had conveyed earlier was indeed extremely urgent for the various schools of thought. Otherwise, they would not have rushed to Mount Tai in such a hurry. Even the time difference between them was no more than half an hour.

"It's the Mohist School this time!!" When Ying An felt that the people who appeared at the foot of Mount Tai were actually from the Mohist School, a complicated look suddenly appeared on his face.

Ying An admired the Mohist philosophy. However, he was worried that the Mohist school would become the Qin Dynasty's mortal enemy in the future, especially now that the Mohist school's six-fingered Black Knight had accepted the prince of Yan as his disciple.

Yan Dan was no good man. He had used every bit of power he could to the utmost.

In order to protect the State of Yan, he would do anything.
