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

The girl looked up and saw a familiar figure in her eyes.

Chapter 401 The Unification of the World: Two Things!

"I, in my humble state, raised an army to punish the tyrannical and rebellious. Thanks to the blessings of the ancestral temples, the six kings all submitted to their crimes, and the world was at peace."

"As the ancients said, 'A name is merely a guest of reality!' Now that I have become the Son of Heaven, ruling over the nine provinces and governing the six directions, the title of King is no longer worthy of my respect. Therefore, if my title is not changed, I cannot commemorate my achievements and pass them on to future generations. I hereby order the Chancellor, the Grand Censor, and all the Imperial Advisors to discuss the imperial title!"

Less than a month after the surrender of the State of Qi and the entry of the King of Qi and many prisoners into Qin, after the six kings were eliminated and the world was unified, Ying Zheng issued an edict from Zhangtai Palace ordering his ministers to "discuss the imperial title," which caused a great uproar in the court and the public in Xianyang.

Many ministers in Qin were discussing the matter, trying to come up with an imperial title that suited Ying Zheng's status.

With the fall of the six states, the world was in ruins and many systems needed to be rebuilt. Instead of discussing new systems first, Ying Zheng had people discuss the imperial title, precisely to first establish the name before seeking the substance.

Only when the title and honorific name are determined can one use the new imperial title to assert sovereignty over the new country.

Jiang Chuan was not a minister of Qin, but he knew about this matter and was also clear that Ying Zheng's imperial title would be confirmed as the First Emperor. These 613 imperial titles combined the titles of "Emperor" and "Huang" (皇), which meant that Ying Zheng's achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and his virtues surpassed those of the Five Emperors.

Once the imperial title was determined, it heralded the birth of a new era.

From this day forward, this realm will be officially called Qin.

All the former vassal states no longer exist. Only one state remains: Qin. And in Qin, there is only one voice: Ying Zheng.

Despite being hidden deep in the mountains, Jiang Chuan still possesses the ability to perceive the changes in the world.

But he had no intention of getting involved in world affairs earlier.

There isn't one now either.

More than the changing world, he cared about improving his own strength, for only strength could be the foundation of his power.

"I wonder how the Yin-Yang School is doing these days?"

While striving to improve his own strength, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think about the situation of the Yin Yang School.

The status of the Yin-Yang School rose significantly after the Qin Dynasty unified China.

Unlike the Confucianists who lived in the land of mulberry and sea, and also unlike the Taoists who were detached from worldly affairs, the Yin-Yang School had long since submitted to the Qin State and been used by the Qin State. Like the Gongshu School and the School of Names, it was highly valued by the Qin State.

But the value of famous figures lies in their verbal debates.

The role of the Gongshu family was in the forging of mechanical beasts for siege warfare and the manufacture of weapons.

The role of the Yin-Yang School was manifested in divination and medicine. In addition, it had many experts and was a sharp weapon used by the Qin state to suppress those other schools of thought that did not submit to Qin. It was also used as an example for those wavering schools of thought, essentially telling them what benefits there were in joining Qin.

Deep in the Lishan Mountains.

Ever since Donghuang Taiyi brought the Yin-Yang School to settle in the Qin State, they have been building palaces here.

Today, at the end of the clouds and mist of Mount Li, the Yin-Yang School has built a large-scale architectural complex, which is distributed in the pattern of the Nine Palaces.

The central palace is where the Eastern Emperor Taiyi resides.

The area surrounding the central palace in a triangle is where the three celestial bodies of the Sun, Moon, and Star reside.

Further out are the five parts, corresponding to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Xinghun was the Left Protector of the Yin-Yang School and the Master of the Star Sect. After his trip to Qi State, he did not return to the Yin-Yang School immediately, but instead spent a long time recuperating from his injuries before finally returning to the Yin-Yang School.

Upon his return, he first met with the members of the Yin-Yang School. When he met the Grand Master of Fate, a complex expression appeared on his face.

Years ago, when he was assassinated by the Luo Wang, it was Da Si Ming who saved him and brought him into the Yin Yang School.

He initially thought the Yin-Yang School was his benefactor, but he later discovered that they were the culprits who had brought him so much suffering.

The person sitting high in the central palace is the mastermind behind everything.

Years ago, he learned the truth and went to that person to seek justice, but he was easily suppressed by the other party. Afterwards, he fell into a daze and served that person for many years.

Now that he has regained his senses, it is time to settle things once again regarding what happened back then.

Perhaps I will die.

But years ago, after his entire family died, he himself had thought about dying. It was the desire to avenge his family that sustained him and kept him alive.

However, it turned out that the so-called benefactor was actually his enemy.

At that time, he harbored the thought that he would rather die than fail to inflict a severe blow on the other party.

Today, he holds the same view.

After meeting with the Grand Master of Fate, Xinghun said nothing and returned to the Star Sect. He pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind to go to the Central Palace.

The central palace is very large, and its dome is semi-open-air, so at night you can see a sky full of stars.

However, when it rains, the rainwater won't fall.

Because there is a Yin-Yang formation around the central palace, the formation creates a transparent air shield at the dome, which can block all rain and snow.

After Xinghun arrived, he did not bow to Donghuang Taiyi as usual, but instead spoke softly: "Your Excellency Donghuang!"

Donghuang Taiyi didn't mind that Xinghun didn't bow. After all, it was normal for someone who had become famous at a young age to be a little arrogant.

"Star Soul, what brings you here?"

On the high platform, Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, wore a black mask and a magnificent robe with jingling ornaments. His gaze fell on Xinghun.

"Two things!"

Xinghun spoke calmly, and then, without keeping anyone in suspense, revealed the first thing.

"Not long ago, I received a letter from Lord Yunzhong. I went to the State of Qi and finally confirmed one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Yun Zhongjun is dead!" Xinghun said, revealing the first thing.

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes narrowed; this matter was beyond his expectations.

But that's not surprising, since he's not a true god. Although he can predict some things through astrology, he's not omniscient or omnipotent.

Yun Zhongjun was an extremely valuable subordinate to Donghuang Taiyi, and it was unexpected that he would die.

Immediately afterwards, Xinghun brought up a second matter.

"The second thing is that I want to seek justice from you."

After these words were spoken, a powerful force surged from Xinghun's body. The so-called gathering of ten percent of one's power into a blade, or twelve percent of one's power into a blade, had lost all meaning for Xinghun.

Chapter 402 Above the Peak, Reaching the Peak Again!

Xinghun was no match for Donghuang Taiyi.

Even though he was a genius, and even though he possessed an extremely powerful talent for Yin-Yang techniques, his strength was still only halfway to the Grandmaster level, not even that of a Grandmaster.

How could they possibly cause any trouble in front of Donghuang Taiyi?

However, even so, he still launched an attack on Donghuang Taiyi without the slightest fear.

He wanted to seek justice for his deceased relatives.

If it weren't for Donghuang Taiyi, and if it weren't for the machinations of certain people, he would have achieved fame at a young age, becoming a high-ranking official in Qin at the age of twelve, and should have had a bright future.

It was Donghuang Taiyi who destroyed everything he had.

Back then, he wanted to find Donghuang Taiyi to seek justice, but he was controlled by Donghuang Taiyi and then manipulated by him like a puppet for many years.

Today, I've suddenly come to my senses.

He would rather die than become the other side's puppet.

"Do you think you can continue to control me?"

"My destiny will be determined by myself!"

Faced with Donghuang Taiyi's power, Xinghun suddenly smiled bitterly, and in the next instant, a powerful force erupted from his body.

This power was released, and in an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire central palace became chaotic.

Donghuang Taiyi's expression also changed drastically.

"This power?"

Without a doubt, this power is beyond the control of the Star Soul.

But right now, it has been released from Xinghun's body.

Faced with this powerful force, even though Donghuang Taiyi had already stepped into the realm of celestial beings to some extent with the help of the spiritual robes and jade pendants on his body, he still dared not ignore it.

boom! !

Within the central palace, booming sounds echoed, and terrifying explosions continued unabated.

The Moon Goddess and the Eastern Lord, both from the Yin-Yang School, noticed the commotion and rushed over.

However, they eventually stopped before the central palace.

I waited for a long time, until the rumbling sound inside disappeared and the noise subsided.

They had just tried to step inside.

When the two entered the central palace, they were shocked to see a corpse lying on the ground.

That was... Xinghun's corpse.
