The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Chuan held Ru Shuang's hand and spoke softly.

Ru Shuang shook her head and said softly, "I am very happy to know that my husband is safe and sound. Although the journey to the Taoist sect has been somewhat fraught with setbacks, it has also been a great blessing for me."

She continued, claiming that under the guidance of a Taoist master known as Bei Mingzi, she had successfully taken the final half-step and entered the realm of Grandmaster.

It was precisely to consolidate her cultivation level that she had been delayed for so long.

She felt somewhat guilty as she spoke.

Because of her delay, her husband was worried about her once again.

"Madam, there's no need for that. Your breakthrough is a good thing!" Jiang Chuan comforted Ru Shuang, saying many things to calm her down.

Ru Shuang continued to tell Jiang Chuan about Taoist matters.

She told Jiang Chuan something.

That is, according to what the Taoist master Beimingzi said.

The true strength of Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, is definitely more than just that of a Grandmaster.

"It's truly an unexpected yet perfectly logical thing!"

Hearing Ru Shuang's words, Jiang Chuan's gaze sharpened, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

In the beginning, figures like Donghuang Taiyi were far too distant from him, and he never regarded Donghuang Taiyi as his enemy.

However, after Donghuang Taiyi suddenly arrived at the Korean general's mansion and planted a curse mark in his body, he and Donghuang Taiyi became enemies.

Jiang Chuan knew it very well.

As a variable, he has already been targeted by Donghuang Taiyi.

This person is cold and ruthless, considers himself a god, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between him and the other party. The other party's goal from the beginning was to enslave him.

Jiang Chuan naturally did not want to be the other party's slave, so he could only try his best to increase his strength and eliminate Donghuang Taiyi.

After the battle at the General's Mansion, I initially thought that Donghuang Taiyi was just a Grandmaster.

Hearing Ru Shuang's words, Jiang Chuan realized that he had underestimated Donghuang Taiyi.

The opponent was not a grandmaster at all; he was clearly a celestial being who had surpassed the grandmaster level.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, he is an extremely mysterious character in the original work.

Moreover, the reason why the Yin-Yang School separated from the Taoism five hundred years ago was to pursue the ultimate limit of the Heavenly Human Realm. Since it was to pursue the ultimate limit of the Heavenly Human Realm, it proves that five hundred years ago, someone from the Yin-Yang School had already broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. It is not surprising that Donghuang Taiyi was a Heavenly Human.

... .... 0

Conversely, if Donghuang Taiyi is indeed a celestial being, then his behavior of fighting with many soldiers in the general's mansion that day becomes intriguing.

"Is it a deliberate attempt to conceal my strength, give me hope, and then crush all my hopes, plunging me into despair?"

Jiang Chuan began to speculate.

Although it was just a guess without any warning, this idea did indeed guess what Donghuang Taiyi was thinking at the time.

In addition, Jiang Chuan also had to rethink his methods for dealing with Donghuang Taiyi.

If Donghuang Taiyi were merely a Grandmaster, his status as a General of the State of Han might make the other party hesitant to act rashly.

But now that we know the other party is a celestial being, things are different. The other party may not care about our status as a great general.

This is because the realm of celestial beings is already the highest state in this world.

Further on, there are the legendary immortals and gods.

For those who have reached such a level of power, aside from pursuing higher realms and achieving immortality, everything in the mortal world can be abandoned and they no longer care about it.

Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough!

Jiang Chuan unconsciously clenched his fist.

"If I am strong enough, what do I have to fear from the likes of Donghuang Taiyi?"

During his trip to Mount Shu, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, which made him somewhat complacent. However, now that he knows the true strength of Donghuang Taiyi, he has calmed down.

Chapter 234 An Accident

Ultimately, it is because of insufficient strength that they fear Donghuang Taiyi.

If one's strength is sufficient, why would one fear such a cowardly and timid person?

After calming down, Jiang Chuan did not despair despite Donghuang Taiyi's strength.

On the contrary, a tremendous fighting spirit emerged.

He didn't know how long it took Donghuang Taiyi to become a celestial being, but he knew that he had only taken a few years to develop his current strength from scratch. If given enough power, he was confident that he could say to Donghuang Taiyi in person, "You're nothing but withered bones in a tomb."

Ru Shuang's return put Jiang Chuan's mind at ease.

Life gradually returned to normal within the general's mansion.

Aside from spending time with Ru Shuang and receiving her guidance on breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, Jiang Chuan is also working hard to eliminate the "three, four, zero" and absorb what he has gained from Mount Shu.

The Shushan tradition has a long history, predating even the various schools of thought of the modern era.

Inside that cave, Jiang Chuan not only received purification from the Fusang Divine Tree, expelling the Yin-Yang curse mark from his body, but also unexpectedly obtained many inheritances from the Shushan tribe.

That cave was originally the place where the guardians of Shushan Yuyuan passed down their legacy.

Jiang Chuan wasn't entirely clear on how many techniques the Yin-Yang School possessed. He only knew from Zi Nu that the Yin-Yang School was divided into three sects and five departments. In addition, there was the central palace where Donghuang Taiyi resided, forming a total of nine palaces in the Divine Capital. Each palace possessed unique techniques, including the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon, and stars, as well as Donghuang Taiyi's ability to govern all laws.

Jiang Chuan had no idea how many secret techniques the Nine Palaces combined had mastered.

But the secret techniques of Mount Shu are indeed numerous.

For thousands of years, despite the small population of the Shu Mountain tribe, the presence of witchcraft, spells, and formations has ensured that every generation of Shu Mountain has produced many masters and geniuses, thanks to the protection and blessings bestowed upon Yu Yuan by the Fusang Divine Tree.

Throughout history, masters like the creator of the Twelve Cloud and Rain Formation of Wushan have emerged from nowhere. By observing the mountains and rivers of the earth, they created all sorts of wonderful techniques.

When it comes to the most powerful methods of the Shu Mountain sect, it is obviously still incantations.

The Yin Meridian Eight Incantations and Yang Meridian Eight Incantations of the Yin-Yang School are based on this.

Just like the Seven Souls Controlling Heart Curse that Jiang Chuan was afflicted with that day, he found a similar curse in the Shu Mountain's inheritance, only it was not as bizarre as the Seven Souls Controlling Heart Curse.

Not surprising.

After all, one is a slightly stronger incantation from the Shu Mountain sect, while the other is a forbidden technique from the Yin-Yang school.

Jiang Chuan became engrossed in cultivation, intending to learn all the various traditions of Mount Shu.

While the General's residence remained calm, the rest of South Korea was anything but.

Even though Jiangchuan didn't implement many reform measures.

But as the lives of ordinary people improved, the rights of nobles and officials were effectively violated.

With lighter taxes and levies, the people paid less in taxes, which meant less money went into their pockets.

Even though they are already very rich, who would complain about having too much money?

They were naturally unwilling to accept this.

Even worse, some people outwardly complied but inwardly defied the king, secretly increasing taxes on the people. Such behavior might have fooled the king, but it could not fool the night.

The Nightfall Organization, which shrouds the state of Korea, has recently recruited many people from the Qin Kingdom's Luo Wang organization, greatly increasing its strength. They are Jiang Chuan's eyes and ears.

These people's double-dealing didn't last long before Jiang Chuan exposed them in court.

As a result, another group of officials were punished.

Because of the reforms, Jiang Chuan's life, apart from cultivation, gained some new pleasures.

He found it fascinating to engage in power struggles with these people.

Of course, while indulging in this game, he didn't forget to connect with his women.

He would occasionally visit Nongyu and Zinu in the palace. In his mansion, he did not neglect Rushuang and Yanlingji. He even occasionally visited Honglian, who was confined to the inner quarters, under the identity of Bai Yifei.

Regardless, Princess Honglian was formally married to him under the identity of Bai Yifei.

Neglecting the red lotus for too long is not good either.

"If you feel bored, you can go out for a stroll."

That evening, after he had finished sleeping with Honglian, Jiang Chuan said to her.

"Is it really possible?"

Honglian is actually a very active person. In the past, when she lived in the palace, she would often go out of the palace to go shopping and play.

But after marrying Bai Yifei, all of these things became irrelevant to her...

Bai Yifei was aloof and kept her like a caged bird in his mansion, strictly forbidding her from going out.

It's clearly impossible for Honglian not to feel annoyed.

Especially in the earlier months, Bai Yifei completely disappeared, and Honglian lost even her only pleasure, the joy of her boudoir.
