God of War Hall

The books floated in the air and began to project images.

The projection area was relatively small this time, not extending beyond the sky; it was limited to inside the room.

Although Xu Fu had heard of the Mysterious Bookstore, he had never seen anything like it. In his haste, he tried to grab the floating books, but they were repelled by the golden light emanating from them.

"Don't panic, Eunuch Xu, His Your Majesty is alright." Ma Feifei had just finished reassuring him when he noticed several masked men in black suddenly appearing around them. Each of them was at the Spirit Emperor level, and the most prominent one was a powerful Spirit Saint.

Clearly, faced with Qin Shi Huang's sudden disappearance, the guards hidden in the shadows panicked and revealed themselves one by one.

Ma Feifei remained calm. He could take down this group of people, let alone Yun Qingyang, even by himself. The reason Ma Feifei was still here was to wait for the system to notify him that he had completed this Main Quest.

Whether Qin Shi Huang could obtain the secret to Longevity and Immortality from this was none of Ma Feifei's business.

However, on the other hand, it seems that Qin Shi Huang aged even faster after consuming this Longevity Pill! It feels a bit unworthy of the name 'Longevity Pill'.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei secretly glanced at Yun Qingyang. Yun Qingyang was incredibly perceptive; the moment Ma Feifei turned her head, she reacted immediately, frowning as she asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"It's nothing." Ma Feifei shook his head vigorously, turning his gaze back to the projection, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

This left Yun Qingyang completely bewildered.

The projection slowly brightened, and Ma Feifei looked over and discovered that the background was now a grand hall.

The main hall was incredibly spacious and towering, its walls seemingly floating in mid-air, overlooking an endless abyss.

The floating walls appeared to be divided into seven sections, each carved with human figures in different poses, and densely packed text was inscribed beside them.

Ma Feifei had seen this script before; it was oracle bone script from ancient times in his era, which he couldn't understand.

Seven floating walls formed a circle, and Qin Shi Huang stood inside it, looking around. Though his hair was white, his regal bearing remained. He stood tall and proud, exuding an imposing aura. Ma Feifei watched in amazement, thinking to himself that he truly deserved to be the king who had ruled the Qin State for two thousand years. His domineering presence was worlds apart from that of Crown Prince Yan, whom he had met before.

Despite his calm demeanor, Qin Shi Huang actually quite panicked.

He had never entered the world of the book before. All of this came too suddenly, catching him completely unprepared. In particular, the palace whose name he did not know, the seven floating walls around him, and the endless darkness behind the gaps all filled him with fear.

"Where exactly is this?" Qin Shi Huang silently observed everything and wondered to himself.

"Ding~"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient and timeless voice resounded:

May it last forever.

The reason why heaven and earth can endure and last long is that they do not live for themselves; therefore, they can live forever.

Therefore, the sage puts himself last and yet comes first; he puts himself outside and yet survives.

Is it not because of his selflessness that he was able to achieve his own ends?

The tone seemed to contain the meaning of the boundless Dao. The people outside the projection were briefly stunned after hearing these words, and Qin Shi Huang inside the projection even closed his eyes and quietly comprehended the true meaning of these words.

"This seems to be the general outline of the 'Longevity Art'!" After a brief moment of distraction, Ma Feifei frowned as he looked at the Qin Shi Huang projected on the screen and thought to himself.

The Longevity Art is a Daoist book, and the Tao Te Ching is known as the general outline of all Daoist practices. Therefore, the general outline in the Longevity Art Tao Te Ching comes from Chapter 7 of the Classic of the Way.

The gist of this passage is: Heaven and earth endure because they exist naturally, not for their own survival. Similarly, the virtuous sage, by being humble and non-competitive, leads the way among others; by placing himself aside, he preserves his own life. Is this not because he is selfless? Thus, he achieves his own fulfillment.

This general outline coincides with the concept in the book "The Longevity Art" that achieving Longevity and Immortality requires practitioners to first relinquish their own cultivation. Cultivating "The Longevity Art" can Longevity and Immortality, but one must first sacrifice the cultivation they have painstakingly accumulated.

While lost in thought, Ma Feifei was suddenly fed a piece of information into his mind by the system. After reviewing this information, Ma Feifei realized where the projection of Qin Shi Huang was located.

The area within the projection is called the 'God of War Hall'.

There is another legend about this God of War Hall: It is said that in ancient times, Guang Chengzi came to the God of War Hall at a certain time, comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth and the universe, and after returning to the ground, he passed on this knowledge to the world through the Yellow Emperor and wrote the "Longevity Art" in oracle bone script.

Therefore, the "Longevity Art" originated from the "God of War Catalog," and is a simplified version of it.

The "God of War Catalog" is merely a set of reliefs suspended in the air, quietly existing in a corner of the "God of War Hall," waiting for the world to understand it and comprehend the supreme ultimate martial arts realm - "Shattering Void".

However, while the "God of War Catalog" is powerful, it is too profound, and it is difficult to achieve success without great wisdom. The "Longevity Art," on the other hand, simply uses seven diagrams to guide the practitioner. The user can directly absorb the essence of heaven and earth as their own innate true energy and quickly reach the state of oneness with heaven and man.

The seven walls surrounding Qin Shi Huang are now composed of seven systematically improved versions of the "God of War Catalog" and the "Longevity Art," representing a combination of cultivation techniques.

Whether Qin Shi Huang could comprehend this supreme and ultimate martial art depended on his own aptitude.

In the projection, Qin Shi Huang still stood quietly in the center of the hall, his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to everything around him, standing there motionless.

An hour later, the guards in the room had disappeared without a trace.

After two hours, Yun Qingyang was already showing signs of impatience, Ma Feifei Yun Qingyang her hand to soothe her.

Three hours later, there was a Squishy on the side of the room where Ma Feifei was already asleep, Yun Qingyang was sitting next to him applying makeup to his face.

Four hours later, Yun Qingyang also fell asleep on Ma Feifei's stomach...

As night fell, the entire Afang Palace was illuminated by thousands of lights, turning the night as bright as day.

"Boom~"

A sudden loud noise startled Ma Feifei, who was fast asleep Yun Qingyang, however, had already gotten up and was frowning as he listened to the direction from which the sound came.

Ma Feifei had just gotten up and hadn't even had time to find the source of the sound when suddenly a 'ding ding ding~' sound rang out, golden light shone brightly, and with a 'whoosh', Qin Shi Huang was summoned out.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Ma Feifei's mind.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host, for completing the Main Quest 'Longevity and Immortality,' and obtaining a Legendary-grade- quality Bedchamber Arts, 'The Classic of the Su Nu Jing.' (Please proceed to the cashier to collect it.)"

"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new Main Quest - Romance of Wind and Cloud."

A series of clanging sounds followed, indicating the completion of the Main Quest, and a new Main Quest also appeared. However, before Ma Feifei could check it, he was interrupted by a laugh.

"Haha! I have finally Longevity and Immortality... Longevity and Immortality!"
