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

For Jiang Chuan, this trip with the three of them was not a happy one.

Even though Madam Mingzhu, the teacher, gave excellent guidance, and one could even see Madam Mingzhu's unwilling and unacceptable expression, Nongyu seemed to be just going through the motions.

Perhaps it's also related to the fact that it was her first time.

Jiang Chuan hastily ended the fight, then glanced at Nongyu and said, "Don't worry, although your skills aren't great, as long as you're willing to learn, I won't harm Zilanxuan or your mother because of your diligence."

Nongyu didn't think that Jiang Chuan, a mere fierce general, was capable of taking action against Zilan Pavilion; Ji Wuye was more likely to do so.

The latter was the only one she cared about.

She nodded slightly.

After that, Jiang Chuan did not linger at Lady Mingzhu's place. He took the antidote for the Gu poison in Tianze's body and quietly left the palace.

After Jiang Chuan left the palace, Lady Mingzhu looked at her apprentice whom she had been forced to take in, and at Nongyu, who looked calm and lost in thought, and said softly, "From now on, you will be a palace maid in my palace."

She did not give Nongyu the right to refuse.

Just because she was Lady Mingzhu, the favorite concubine of the King of Han, she could arrange the whereabouts of any palace maid at will.

Even though Nongyu was able to enter the palace only through someone else's arrangement.

But after entering the palace, Nongyu no longer had the freedom to decide for herself.

Nongyu understood the implication in Madam Mingzhu's words, but said nothing and silently accepted it.

Having encountered such a situation in the palace and being unable to take the antidote for the Gu poison in Tianze's body out, she indeed had no intention of leaving the palace.

At this moment, for her, staying in the palace is actually a good thing.

Only in this way can we preserve Zilan Pavilion and protect our mother.

Therefore, Nongyu is still somewhat naive.

If it were Zi Nu, she would never do such a thing as seeking help from a tiger.

……

Jiang Chuan went to the palace during the day to meet with Madam Mingzhu in secret.

They first met in the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, and then moved to Lady Mingzhu's bedroom.

Several battles were fought, during which Nongyu was also interrogated.

By the time Jiang Chuan returned, the moon was high in the sky and it was late at night.

The desire to fight had long since been worn away.

Naturally, he had no intention of seeking out Ru Shuang and Yan Ling Ji for another battle.

I fell asleep immediately.

In his sleep, Jiang Chuan once again entered the mysterious misty space.

This time, he did not see the figure that looked exactly like himself.

But then they heard a series of sounds.

The sound came from nowhere, extremely ethereal, as if it came from the heavens and earth, or as if it arose from the depths of one's own heart.

Jiang Chuan was not knowledgeable in music, so naturally he couldn't understand it at first.

However, as the sound continued to linger, Jiang Chuan gradually became immersed in it.

In that instant, Jiang Chuan seemed to feel the breath of heaven and earth. The sound of the wind, the swaying of branches, the sound of grass breaking through the soil and growing, the chirping of insects, and the moonlight falling all made sounds. He also sensed the resonance of the various primordial energies of heaven and earth that filled the space between them.

The room next to Jiang Chuan's is Ru Shuang's room.

Because she needed to take care of Yan'er while she slept, Ru Shuang usually slept in a separate bed from Jiang Chuan.

He only comes to the room where Jiang Chuan sleeps when there is a battle.

At that moment, Ru Shuang, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.

She sensed the pulsation of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It was only because the distance was close enough and her strength was great enough that she was able to sense this.

She put on her clothes, got up, and walked out of the room.

Upon arriving at the door of the next room, they sensed an immense and powerful force of heaven and earth surging towards that room, undoubtedly flowing into Jiang Chuan's body, who was inside.

"My husband, you really do surprise people from time to time."

Ru Shuang murmured to herself.

She did not rush in and disturb Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan's condition prompted her to come up with an explanation.

That is enlightenment.

It is said that among Taoists and Yin-Yang practitioners, there are often geniuses who attain enlightenment overnight.

Just a moment ago, he was a person of low strength, but the next moment, he comprehended the way of heaven and earth, and the power of heaven and earth flowed through his body, so his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

More importantly, this is because the strength is enhanced by resonating with the power of heaven and earth through comprehending the way of heaven and earth. This kind of enhancement is different from having one's power forcibly transferred by others, and there are no consequences.

Because humans are part of the universe, this is just a normal operation of the universe.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

"Husband, has this been enlightenment?"

Because she was worried about Jiang Chuan, Ru Shuang stayed here all night. On the way, she only went back to comfort Yan'er when Yan'er cried.

Then she stayed outside Jiang Chuan's room.

It continued until dawn.

Jiang Chuan slowly woke up.

250 In his dream, he heard the breath of heaven and earth. At first, he thought it was a dream, until he discovered that his strength had greatly improved as a result. Feeling the power flowing in his body, he realized that this was not a dream.

But reality.

It should be noted that he had only recently advanced to the Innate Realm. Even with his unique cultivation methods, improving his strength after entering the Innate Realm was not so easy.

But now, he has done it.

However, he was not in a hurry to experience his current power.

Because he found someone at his door.

He quickly dressed, got up, and opened the door.

Sure enough, Ru Shuang was right at the door.

She held a sword, and the dew on her body had not yet dried, clearly indicating that Ru Shuang had been waiting here all night.

Jiang Chuan said to Ru Shuang with some pity, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Ru Shuang said softly, "It's nothing. I just discovered something was wrong with my husband in the middle of the night, so I came out to keep watch for a while. It seems that my husband's strength has greatly improved now."

She could naturally see the changes in Jiang Chuan.

His energy and spirit were extremely abundant, and powerful energy poured out from his pores.

Of course, the reason it poured out was because Jiang Chuan had only recently mastered this powerful force and had not yet fully adapted to it or manipulated it.

Chapter Ninety-One: The Way of Heaven

"Last night, I heard a special piece of music."

Jiang Chuan also offered a detailed explanation to Ru Shuang.

"A special piece of music?"

Jiang Chuan found it difficult to explain to Ru Shuang what state he was in at the time, but he was able to give a name to the piece of music he heard.

"Perhaps that is the celestial music that Zhuangzi spoke of in his theory of the equality of all things."

Zhuang Zhou was an unparalleled powerhouse who rose to prominence in the Taoist Humanist Sect a hundred years ago. Known as the Madman, he has only been alive for a few decades. During his lifetime, the Taoist Humanist Sect was unmatched in power, dominating the Heavenly Sect and the Yin-Yang School, which had broken away from Taoism.

The "Discourse on the Equality of Things" is the second chapter in the "Inner Chapters" of his classic work.

Ru Shuang was once a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), which was an organization of the Qin state, and the Daoist school was also located in the Qin state.

She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and naturally had read the classics written by Zhuangzi.

It can be said that the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought, those of the sages and virtuous figures, were not actually secret books that could not be passed on. What was truly secret was the martial arts and secret techniques they created, which were the treasures of the various schools and sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

As for the rest, you may not have read the full text, but you have definitely heard of the allusions derived from those classic texts.

"Heavenly music?" Ru Shuang was slightly taken aback when she heard this word, and then she remembered the original text in "On the Equality of Things".

It is said that Ziqi, who lived in the south of the city, sat quietly by his desk, looking up at the sky and slowly exhaling. He seemed lost and blank, as if his soul had left his body. His disciples were very curious when they saw this, so they asked him what was going on and what state he was in.

This led to the development of various concepts related to realms of existence.

For example, the state of "sitting in oblivion," where one's appearance is like a withered tree and one's heart is like dead ashes, originated from this.

Of course, the most important thing is that this article mentions three kinds of sounds: the sounds of man, the sounds of earth, and the sounds of heaven.

Zhuangzi, through the voice of Ziqi, wrote an article that revealed the truth and falsehood of the three sounds.
