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

Because the Yin-Yang School is proficient in divination, it holds a prominent position in the Qin state. When Ying Zheng is confused about anything, he will have them perform divination. In addition, the Yin-Yang School is also skilled in medicine, which is why Ying Zheng values ​​them.

In conclusion, the Yin-Yang School now holds a very special position in the Qin state.

However, their true purpose in infiltrating the Qin state was to use Qin's power to find the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

"The Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon... I never imagined that after so many years, the Yin-Yang School would once again be searching for this item in his hands..."

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Chu Nan Gong was somewhat moved.

Hundreds of years ago, the Yin-Yang School experienced a surge in power due to the Illusionary Sound Box. Later, after research by members of the Yin-Yang School, it was discovered that the Illusionary Sound Box was an artifact that existed at the same time as the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations and was an important tool for unlocking the secrets of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.

Therefore, the Yin-Yang School began to search for the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

Although I didn't get the bronze box, I did obtain some secrets related to the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

That is, the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon may be related to the treasure of the Zhou Dynasty in ancient times, and hidden within it is something extremely important—the elixir of immortality...

Chu Nan Gong wasn't sure if there really was an elixir of immortality, because if there really was, why didn't the people of the Zhou Dynasty in the past take it themselves?

All he knew was that the Yin-Yang School had indeed searched for the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions for a long time in order to unravel this secret.

Finally, the Illusionary Sound Box was lost.

The Yin-Yang School came to an abrupt end.

Unexpectedly, under the current leadership of Donghuang Taiyi, the Yin-Yang School has begun searching for the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon once again.

Could it be that the other party has found the Illusionary Sound Box, which has been lost for hundreds of years?

Chu Nan Gong couldn't help but think about it.

Then, Jiang Chuan talked about Donghuang Taiyi's strength.

"Heaven!"

Such strength is enough to dominate the world, and that is why Jiang Chuan must know the opponent's weaknesses if he wants to defeat him.

"A celestial being? That's not surprising."

Upon learning of Donghuang Taiyi's current strength, Chu Nan Gong showed no surprise. "It's perfectly normal for him to possess the strength of a celestial being with the help of those two things."

"Oh?" Jiang Chuan sensed the hidden meaning in Chu Nan Gong's words. "What makes you say that, Nan Gong? According to you, is there something wrong with that person's Celestial Realm?"

After a moment of silence, Chu Nan Gong asked, "Do you know what a celestial being is?"

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chuan answered Chu Nan Gong with a quote from Zhuangzi: "Not deviating from the 0.5 lineage is called Heaven and Man."

Chu Nan Gong praised, "Indeed, this is a celestial being."

The so-called "heaven" refers to nature, and "heavenly man" refers to a person who understands the origin of the universe and human life.

That said, many of the current concepts of spiritual realms were summarized by Zhuangzi. The terms "Grand Master" and "Heavenly Man" both originated from Zhuangzi. Even before that, there were similar concepts in Taoism and Yin-Yang School, but ordinary people were unaware of them. It was because of Zhuangzi that these concepts became known to the public.

"Under normal circumstances, in this day and age, it is actually impossible to break through to the Celestial Realm."

Chu Nan Gong uttered a shocking statement.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan was immediately startled. "Why?"

"Because the connection between heaven and earth has been severed!"

Chu Nan Gong then revealed another secret.

Chapter 374 The Secret of Heaven and Man

Jiang Chuan knew the story of "severing the connection between heaven and earth".

Legend has it that in ancient times, gods and humans mingled, and deities often visited the human world. Later, the Heavenly Emperor appointed Chong to govern the heavens and Li to govern the earth, thus separating heaven and earth. Gods and humans each performed their duties and did not interfere with each other.

This is what is known as the separation of heaven and earth.

Jiang Chuan was surprised that Chu Nan Gong would bring up such a story.

Chu Nan Gong continued, "I don't know if you believe it or not, but in this world, in ancient times, there were indeed immortals and gods. It's just that later, because of the severing of the connection between heaven and earth, the immortals and gods gradually disappeared, but they still left behind a lot of things."

"I suspect that the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon may also be related to the ancient immortals and gods."

"Leaving aside these issues, just considering that after the separation of heaven and earth, the primordial energy between heaven and earth has become increasingly thin. This directly results in the fact that the realm that cultivation can reach can only stop at the Grandmaster level. This world no longer has the soil for the existence of celestial beings."

"Why then?"

Jiang Chuan never expected to hear such a story from Chu Nan Gong.

Since Chu Nan Gong has stated that there is no longer any fertile ground for the existence of celestial beings in this world.

Then why was Donghuang Taiyi able to become a celestial being?

In addition, Ru Shuang visited the Taoist Heavenly Sect, and if I'm not mistaken, the one there was also a Celestial Being.

There's also Xunzi from the Confucian school. Jiang Chuan once fought with him. He's unsure if Xunzi was a celestial being, but his strength is unfathomable.

"Naturally, it's because of those ancient artifacts that these people possess the strength of the Celestial Realm, but in reality, such strength has flaws." Chu Nan Gong knew what Jiang Chuan wanted to ask and directly explained the whole reason.

"The Taoist tradition has a long history. Within the Taoist school, the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect each possess supreme treasures. If one cultivates to the ultimate level of a Grandmaster and comprehends the power of these supreme treasures, one can naturally become a Celestial being by using them."

"However, although it is very simple, not everyone can do this step."

Jiang Chuan certainly knew why.

Because becoming a Grandmaster is too difficult.

Even if one is fortunate enough to become a Grandmaster, reaching the limit of the Grandmaster realm is not an easy task.

Following Chu Nan Gong's words, Jiang Chuan gained a new understanding.

So, in the past, the Yin-Yang School chose to betray the Taoism in order to pursue the ultimate limit of heaven and man? Was the so-called ultimate limit of heaven and man merely a pursuit of breaking through to the realm of heaven and man without the help of external objects?

Is the realm of celestial beings the ultimate limit of this world?

Jiang Chuan initially thought it was to surpass the celestial beings.

Now that he has learned these secrets from Chu Nan Gong, he has mixed feelings, because he has discovered that this world is not as powerful as he had imagined.

Although celestial beings exist, these celestial beings are actually problematic.

But on second thought, this is a good thing.

If Donghuang Taiyi's celestial status was achieved through external means, then it means that Donghuang Taiyi is not as powerful as imagined, and I might be able to defeat him.

The prerequisite is that any external objects are removed from the other person's body.

Chu Nan Gong continued, "In the Yin-Yang School, there also exist such treasures, but not the same, but two: a spirit robe and a jade pendant. These two items are one Yin and one Yang. Only by using both at the same time can the wearer comprehend the Yin-Yang principles of heaven and earth, and thus step into the realm of the celestial being."

"This is how Donghuang Taiyi achieved his status as a celestial being."

"Although he is indeed a Celestial Being, such a Celestial Being has obvious flaws. He is overly dependent on external things. Once his spiritual clothes and jade pendants are damaged or broken, he will immediately fall from the Celestial Being realm."

"This is also why Taoism and Yin-Yang School have been pursuing the realm of Heaven and Man for a long time. They are trying to break through to Heaven and Man through normal means."

Chu Nan Gong said a lot.

Perhaps it's because mentioning the realm of celestial beings inevitably reminds him of himself.

Over the years, has he been studying the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book in order to gain greater power? Yes and no. It's right because if he succeeds, he can indeed gain great power. It's wrong because his goal is to break through to the Celestial Realm and reach a new level of cultivation.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

The Yellow Stone Book is very powerful.

With the help of the Yellow Stone Book, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, the God of War.

With the help of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, Taigong Wang comprehended the supreme military strategy.

He also gleaned the power of the Five Virtues from this.

But this still didn't allow him to break through to the Celestial Realm.

"Perhaps it is for this reason that Donghuang Taiyi tried to find the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon."

Chu Nan Gong then shared another conjecture.

He talked on and on, telling Jiang Chuan a lot.

Although Jiang Chuan was not the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School, because Chu Nan Gong was unaware of this, he still told Jiang Chuan many secrets while treating him as the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School.

Finally, Chu Nan Gong said to Jiang Chuan that such treasures were not only possessed by the Taoists and Yin-Yang School, but also by some other hidden sects.

Whether they are celestial beings or not is unclear.

After discussing Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Chuan basically understood Donghuang Taiyi's weaknesses.

The weakness is actually quite clear.

Chu Nan Gong said that Donghuang Taiyi's celestial being was not perfect.

He became a celestial being only through the blessing of the Yin-Yang School's most precious treasures, the Spirit Robe and the Jade Pendant.

So all we need to do is find a way to strip or destroy the spirit garment and jade pendant.

He gradually understood why Donghuang Taiyi, despite possessing such immense power, chose to restrain himself and refrain from taking action.

This is simply because their divine nature is not perfect.

Since Chu Nan Gong knew about this matter, it proves that the Taoists must also know about it. Perhaps that is why, even though there are celestial beings in the world today, they restrain each other and have not attacked each other.

Simply because the flaws were too obvious.
