Verification Along the Way
"Break free from the cage, everyone can be a dragon!"
In Zhang Xuezhou's past understanding, the Great Qin Dynasty would make a comeback and destroy the Great Han Dynasty.
This view was relatively correct in the past, but it has a contradiction: the Great Qin Dynasty was so bored that it destroyed itself, and then waited for another dynasty to be established so that it could overthrow it.
If this idea is untenable, then Emperor Qin's claim of pursuing accuracy is rather unfounded.
"Cousin, those lunatics didn't retaliate? Are they really afraid of Southern Brightness Fire?"
Rong Tianding watched Zhang Xuezhou walk out of the underground palace normally, and listened to Zhang Xuezhou's incoherent words. He couldn't help but look down at the underground palace in surprise.
"Of course they're afraid," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement. "Our Southern Brightness Fire is no joke; once it's ignited, it can burn down a huge area. Everyone who sees it will be terrified!"
"That's good, those lunatics are really unreasonable!"
Rong Tianding breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone who runs out and gets burned alive would be terrified in that situation.
Especially the fact that the person being burned requested it, and remained silent until turned to ashes, sent chills down Rong Tianding's spine.
Where is Liu Xuan?
He'll be out soon!
The entrance beneath the Yuzhou Cauldron was not closed, and Liu Xuan did not come out. Rong Tianding couldn't help but peek out for a moment.
"What should we do with Liu Xuan?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice.
"It depends on his father's plans!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about Emperor Qin and then about Liu Xuan. He felt that this former emperor was very decisive, but he still had some tenderness in his heart, and was not a heartless person.
He outmaneuvered the Emperor Qin while preserving his dignity, resulting in a relatively peaceful ending for both sides.
As for Emperor Qin's future plans, Zhang Xuezhou was uncertain. He had indeed delayed Emperor Qin's plans, but Emperor Qin's plans were not as meticulous as he had imagined.
Even the most brilliant and ambitious emperors need constant interaction to understand the reality; they cannot play games out of thin air.
Zhang Xuezhou was far inferior to Emperor Qin in terms of leadership ability, and he did not possess Qin Shi Huang's great talent and strategy, but his worldview was indeed far broader than that of Emperor Qin.
He learned of the many dilemmas Emperor Qin faced after unifying the Southern Jambudvipa Continent. The unified dynasty, which seemed like a fleeting cloud, was a joke in the eyes of the Immortal Court. Time would make everything Emperor Qin had become nothing but flowing water.
The Emperor Qin desired longevity, wanted to defeat Emperor Qin Immortal Court, Emperor Qin to break the existing ruling order, and even Emperor Qin of leading the Great Qin people to a higher dimension after gaining long-term rule, so that his empire could last forever.
The Emperor Qin had many goals he wanted to achieve, and the other party was not just talking big, but was actually taking action, even leading many people to obtain 'pseudo-immortality'.
The art of human terracotta warriors can solidify the body, while hibernation allows the Divine Sense to operate with minimal loss, thus enabling it to maintain its existence for a long period of time.
As long as these terracotta figures do not regain consciousness, they will continue to exist in a state of 'pseudo-immortality' as terracotta figures.
Just as Zhang Xuezhou was looking for a chance to survive, Emperor Qin was also looking for a chance to achieve his goal.
"Our Southern Brightness Fire Technique needs to be promoted as much as possible, especially among Confucian School cultivators!"
Zhang Xuezhou spoke with a pointed meaning, Rong Tianding's eyelids twitched. He knew that Zhang Xuezhou's words were not meant for him, but rather to make the Emperor Qin in the underground palace give up completely.
"The old fogies of Corpse Jiao are reluctant to part with the Southern Brightness Fire, but we obtained the Southern Brightness Fire Technique Method easily and don't care about the control Technique Method of this manipulation school at all. Besides, Corpse Jiao doesn't have many people left, so it's a good thing to give people Technique Method to restrain Yin things," Rong Tianding shrugged.
"Confucian School has become the foremost school of thought in the Great Han Dynasty, holding Confucian School highest esteem within the dynasty. There are hundreds of thousands of Confucian School scholars throughout the land, and their school also allows the study of miscellaneous arts from other schools of thought, so practicing the Southern Brightness Fire is no problem at all!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, a sigh on his face.
Zhang Xuezhou's words were not surprising, and he had even said them once before, but they were different when combined with Liu Xuan and Rong Tianding's responses. This could be verified by others to further strengthen the authenticity of his words.
"You have stolen the destiny of my Great Qin. Great Qin cannot withstand further turmoil and will absolutely not easily start a war. I only hope that you will keep Fusu by your side and let him witness the struggle between Houtu and Hongjun that you spoke of!"
The terracotta Emperor Qin in the underground palace did not break free of his mortal state and speak personally; instead, Liu Xuan read it aloud on his behalf.
"I have some flying skills; Liu Xuan might not be able to keep up with me!"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced into the depths of the underground palace.
Although Liu Xuan was a witness, the other party was also a stalker, able to relay information to the Emperor Qin for further judgment.
Despite Zhang Xuezhou's borrowing of fortune, Emperor Qin still possessed sufficient confidence.
The two only exchanged Fortune Technique; there was no actual combat between them, and Emperor Qin did not unleash his many hidden strategies.
It seems that the negotiations between the two parties have ended, and Zhang Xuezhou has taken what he needed, but the matter between them is not over.
"I can shed my human form and even attach myself to your Law Treasure without affecting your speed," Liu Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Although I rarely use Law Treasure, since you've put it this way, I'll definitely be carrying Law Treasure with me from now on!"
Zhang Xuezhou shrugged, indicating that as long as Liu Xuan didn't bother him and was willing to risk his life to follow him, Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind having him around.
To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou really liked this erudite Great Qin of Qin, and he also needed the other party's assistance with the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle in his residence.
Thank you!
Liu Xuan's deep voice came from afar, followed by the sound of his heavy footsteps.
The sound of his footsteps revealed that Liu Xuan was in a very heavy mood.
For Zhang Xuezhou, borrowing resources was a good thing, but for the party being borrowed, it was not.
Although Zhang Xuezhou mentioned it was a loan, everyone knew that such a loan was never to be returned, and that the Emperor Qin had to bear the brunt of the defeat during the Fortune War.
Liu Xuanxin was shocked to discover that the invincible Emperor Qin had actually lost. He clearly regretted bringing Zhang Xuezhou to the Emperor Qin's Mausoleum.
There's no turning back once the arrow is released; Liu Xuan will have to bear the consequences even if he doesn't accept them.
Now it depends on whether this consequence is what Emperor Qin needs or whether Zhang Xuezhou is exaggerating. If it is the former, Emperor Qin's efforts will be worthwhile. If it is the latter, it means that Emperor Qin has been deceived and will lose everything, which will inevitably lead to a continuous and irreconcilable struggle.
"Sis, the gate to your house is open!"
Pilan's chattering voice drifted over, and Liu Xuan's pace quickened considerably.
"Do you and Sichen still need the secret room?"
The Holy Mother Wudang, trying to avoid suspicion and disaster, muttered something, and there were also some pushing and shoving sounds.
When Liu Xuan finished reciting the sacrificial inscription and sealed the Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, the Holy Mother Wudang arrived late.
"Pilan just loves to make a fuss, she's driving me crazy. Are you two done talking?"
The Holy Mother Wudang repeatedly criticized Pilan, while her gaze swept back and forth between Zhang Xuezhou and the others.
Although she kept criticizing Pilan, the Holy Mother Wudang was also glad to have such a shield, thus saving her from being caught in the middle.
"We've finished chatting. I hope I'll have the chance to come here again!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile, Holy Mother Wudang" did not make any more comments.
She had a premonition that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were engaged in some dangerous activities and might not be able to return.
