Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 188: The Seven Azure Dragons
Just as the First Emperor was on his eastern tour to Sanghai, riding on a large warship that had been prepared long ago, combining powerful mechanical techniques and yin-yang magic, like a city on the sea, and which took a full ten years from design to construction, and for which the Qin State invested a huge amount of money, he also received information from the north that Meng Tian had won the war against the Huns.

But even though he won the wars against Baiyue and Xiongnu and expanded his territory by thousands of miles, Ying Zheng always understood that his biggest enemies were still the remnants of the six kingdoms lurking within the empire and the rebels among the Hundred Schools of Thought who did not obey him, such as the Mohists.

Moreover, according to the accounts of the farmers who had already defected to the Qin State, the Mohist and Xiang clans were uniting various schools of thought or carrying out a series of anti-Qin plans independently.

The planner of the Qinglong plan was Changping Jun. Its scope involved Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin and other countries, and had far-reaching influence. The previous "Xinzheng Riot", "Li Xin's Attack on Chu", "Establishing a City and Proclaiming King" and "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin" were all part of the plan.

On the surface, the plan was to use the historical contradictions of the seven powers of the Warring States Period to take a series of interest measures to unite and win over the various schools of thought and the remaining forces of the six countries, aiming to oppose and overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, thereby establishing a country ruled by the Chu aristocracy and practicing both "benevolence" and "rule of law". The biggest beneficiary of this plan was Fusu, who was of Chu descent.

But secretly it is connected with the secret of "Seven Stars of Azure Dragon".

The so-called seven stars in the east are Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji, which are called the seven stars of the blue dragon, also called the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon is one of the four heavenly spirits in ancient Chinese mythology. It originated from the ancient worship of stars. It is the god of the east representing Taihao and the seven stars in the east. It is Zhen and Xun in the Eight Diagrams, and dominates wood in the Five Elements. It symbolizes Shaoyang among the four images and spring among the four seasons.

Seven stars, seven countries, seven secrets, the core of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon has been mastered by the only heir of each country in every dynasty. It is said that whoever masters the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon will have the power to rule the world.

It was with this power that Duke Xiang of Zheng, a small hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, led the State of Zheng to rise rapidly and dominate the area.

The reason why Qin State has been tracking down this power is that it is afraid that this power will be obtained by a group of anti-Qin people and disrupt the world.
(Personally, I think the power of the Blue Dragon can only help a country dominate, but it will not really change the world situation. You can see that Zheng State only dominated for a while after obtaining the Blue Dragon, and then it was destroyed. It can be seen that it has no effect on improving the real strength of the country. Qin State did not rely on the Blue Dragon to do what Zheng State could not do, and the Qin Dynasty was ultimately destroyed by a series of uprisings.)
After receiving this information, Ying Zheng immediately took action to eliminate the participants of the plan based on the information provided by the farmers.

The first to be affected was Confucianism, which is known as the two most prominent schools of thought in the world together with Mohism. Under the guidance of the Luowang forces lurking in the Nong family, Ying Zheng realized the connection between Confucianism and the Qinglong Plan.

King Chengqiao of Han took action personally and cooperated with Luowang, and Xiaoshengxianzhuang was burned down overnight. Confucian master Xunzi and head of the clan Fu Nian joined forces but were still no match for Chengqiao and were killed on the spot.

The second in command, Yan Lu, was severely injured by the Six Sword Slaves. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao admired his character and personally rescued him, but his internal energy was sealed and he was imprisoned.

Among all the Confucian disciples, except for a few who resisted stubbornly, the rest were temporarily detained and awaited the decision of Ying Zheng.

Zhang Liang, the third in command who had always helped the Mohist school and other anti-Qin forces, insisted that Confucianism and Mohism should not exclude each other, and facilitated the cooperation of interests between the anti-Qin alliance and the "Liusha" organization, and made many suggestions for the Qinglong plan, escaped this disaster because he acted with the Mohist school.

In a secret place in the mirage, in front of Donghuang Taiyi, the head of the Yin-Yang School, Xiangjun and Xiangfuren, who had never appeared before, each held two treasure boxes of different colors and placed the other three treasure boxes in front of Donghuang Taiyi.

"Reporting to Lord Donghuang, the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon have been collected and are now waiting to be opened."

"Hmm," Donghuang Taiyi took out a book from his wide black robe. It was the Huangshi Heavenly Book that Tianming had given to Chengqiao before. After several rounds of transfer, it was finally obtained by Donghuang Taiyi.

"The Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, the power that is said to have helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You. Although the Magic Sound Box was lost due to the intervention of Emperor Tathagata, you can still unlock the secret of the Azure Dragon."

Donghuang Taiyi activated the Yin-Yang magic, and the Huangshi Heavenly Book opened. Countless words on it flew in the air, and under the control of the spell, they fell in an orderly manner under the seven treasure chests in front of him.

The treasure chest mechanism began to activate, and under the urging of magic combined with the power of the Heavenly Book, the power of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars was finally activated again. Seven balls of light flew out of the treasure chest, echoing the Blue Dragon Seven Stars in the sky, absorbing their star power and transforming into a blue dragon.

The Azure Dragon was awakened by the Yin-Yang magic, emitting bursts of dragon roars that shook the entire mirage and the surrounding sea.

"This is not a power from the mortal world. It turns out that this is the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon." Xiang Jun exclaimed upon seeing this.

The Azure Dragon seemed to be spiritual. After absorbing the star power until it was full, it sank into Donghuang Taiyi's body.

Donghuang Taiyi only felt an unstoppable force emerging from his body, and the true energy was endless and endless, and he could not feel relieved until it was released.

The enormous force shattered the black robe that had been covering his body, and Donghuang Taiyi, the most mysterious of the Yin-Yang School, finally revealed his true identity.

It was the Prime Minister of the Former Qin State, the last King of the Chu State, Lord Changping, who was supposed to have died.

After Changping Jun completely absorbed the power of Azure Dragon in his body, he smiled and said, "The power of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars is already in hand. Now we should get rid of Ying Zheng, who has been taking Yunzhong Jun's elixir and is exhausted. Then we should officially start the Azure Dragon Plan. It is time for Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang, the remaining members of the Farmers' Family, to play their roles."

At this time, a voice came in, "Changping Jun, after all the effort, you finally got the power of Azure Dragon. It seems that the power has made you forget my existence."

"This voice is from Han Wang Cheng Qiao!" Unexpectedly, Cheng Qiao arrived. Before Donghuang Taiyi could react, he saw Han Wang Cheng Qiao, the number one master of the Great Qin Empire, arriving.

Following closely behind him were the long-missing Xing Hun and the elder and younger brothers of the Mu clan, Siming.

Looking at the two people behind Cheng Qiao, Changping Jun said angrily: "How dare you betray me!"

"They are not the only ones who betrayed." At some point, Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen had stood on Cheng Qiao's side.

Xinghun said: "How can someone who tampered with the memories of others with Yin-Yang magic be qualified to talk about betrayal?"

"It seems that you have recovered your memory."

"Yes, my real name is Gan Luo, and I am the grandson of Gan Mao, a famous prime minister of the Qin State."

Shao Siming, who was originally unable to speak, also spoke up, "My name is Xiaoyi, and you made me and my brother Xiaoling kill each other."
