The Qin Dynasty: The Most Ruthless Prince, Lady Mingzhu Begs for Mercy

"Master, is this the person you spoke of who can change the landscape of the Nine Provinces?"

"I know he is exceptionally talented, beyond our reach; he is truly outstanding."

"But you didn't say that he could do that; it's unbelievable!"

"To change such a large-scale celestial phenomenon with just a single sentence is something even I would find difficult. How did he manage to do it?"

"Could it be that at such a young age, he has already mastered the Key to the Nine Realms and the true essence of the laws, which even I dare not imagine?"

Bei Mingzi looked at the rain outside the window and sighed.

……

The summit of Mount Taiyi.

The four women asked in surprise, but Ying Changqing did not answer.

He said directly, "The current situation is exactly the same as what the Dao Ancestor experienced back then."

The four women immediately understood.

They looked together at the sea of ​​clouds, hoping to find inspiration from it.

Ying Changqing ignored them and walked to the edge of the cliff.

It rained heavily.

Ying Changqing did not use magic to shield himself from the rain, letting the rain pelt him.

He knew that the Dao Ancestor had done the same thing back then.

Ying Changqing decided to walk the path that the Dao Ancestor had walked.

He closed his eyes, opened his arms, and took a deep breath.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, a jumble of ideas, but in the end, they all came together as one.

Open your eyes, and Mount Taiyi is still the same Mount Taiyi.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and rain poured down on the earth.

The four women beside him disappeared, and an old immortal sat on the edge of the cliff.

There is a cow nearby.

"Is this the scene where Lao Tzu attained enlightenment?"

Listening to the old man speak, Ying Changqing felt as if he were in a fairyland.

Above the sea of ​​clouds.

With each word Lao Tzu uttered, a Tai Chi symbol appeared and then disappeared.

Before my eyes, I witnessed the cycle of birth and death of Tai Chi, and I heard the sage Lao Tzu personally expounding the true Tao Te Ching.

Ying Changqing suddenly understood, and sat cross-legged opposite Laozi. The two sat down and discussed the Dao.

Lao Tzu recounts the story, and Ying Changqing listens attentively.

The Dao is vague and unclear.

There are images within the blur, and objects within the indistinct.

There is essence in the depths, and this essence truly exists; within it lies faith.

Humans are born of heaven and earth, and what humans should do is to conform to the Dao.

We must constantly strive to return to the true nature of life and its fundamental principles.

The great way of Heaven is the cycle of nothingness, existing between being and not being.

The Tao arises from nothingness, governs all things, and permeates everything; all paths ultimately lead back to the Tao.

As the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, Ying Changqing slowly opened his eyes.

The Dao Ancestor before him had seen through the mysteries of the river of time, understood his existence, and even knew his true self hundreds of years later!

"Go..."

In an instant.

Dao Zu waved his sleeve, and Ying Changqing immediately felt the world spinning and the universe turning upside down.

When I opened my eyes again, Mount Taiyi was still the same mountain, but it had indeed changed.

Ying Changqing remained calm and walked forward peacefully.

Ahead lies a bottomless abyss, but with each step, a Tai Chi diagram appears beneath one's feet.

One step, two steps, three steps... Ying Changqing stopped after taking the fifth step.

A huge Tai Chi diagram unfolds beneath our feet.

In an instant, Ying Changqing sat on the Tai Chi diagram, and the diagram began to rotate.

Halfway up Mount Taiyi.

All the monks witnessed this scene.

At first, they were shocked to see someone walking down the cliff from the mountaintop.

But when that person was able to stand in the air, everyone was stunned.

A legendary terrestrial immortal has appeared atop Mount Taiyi!

Ying Changqing sat calmly on the Taiji diagram in the void, and everyone was shocked and gasped.

"hiss!"

"A single thought gives rise to Tai Chi, and one sits cross-legged in the void!"

"Even a terrestrial immortal can only briefly levitate; he can't do that."

"Could he be a Celestial Realm expert?"

"It's impossible to be sure, but his strength far exceeds everyone's imagination."

While everyone was stunned and speechless, Ying Changqing's voice suddenly echoed in the minds of Yan Fei, Jing Ni, Nangong Pushe, and all the Taoist disciples of Taiyi Mountain.

"I am the Prince of Qin, also known as Lord Yaoguang, and I hereby deliver a message to all Taoist sects in the world."

"Having received guidance and instruction from the sage, I today proclaim the Way to all Taoist sects throughout the world!"

The entire Taiyi Mountain was in an uproar once again.

Under the watchful eyes of the martial arts community, all the Taoist disciples widened their eyes, revealing expressions of shock.

But in just a moment, their faces lit up with ecstasy, and then everyone sat down cross-legged.

Ying Changqing recited the Tao Te Ching in a steady voice.

With each word he uttered, a golden lotus appeared in the sky.

At this moment, even a master like Bei Mingzi listened attentively to Ying Changqing's lecture, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."

"The saint is not benevolent..."

A night of preaching is a precious gift left by the Taoist patriarch to his disciples and followers.

Ying Changqing is grateful to the sage and will carry on the Taoist culture.

……

early morning.

The morning sun once again bathed the summit of Mount Taiyi.

Ying Changqing's voice suddenly stopped.

"Ding! The host has grasped the laws of Heaven through comprehending the Tao Te Ching: The Tao follows nature, and the Great Tao returns to oneness!"

Ying Changqing opened his eyes, stood up, and respectfully bowed to the sea of ​​clouds at Mount Taiyi.

The illusory figure in the sea of ​​clouds rode away on a blue ox until it disappeared completely.

Ying Changqing then walked to the top of Mount Taiyi.

He took a total of five steps.

With each step he took, his aura changed drastically, and his cultivation level broke through one after another in an instant.

From the peak of Grandmaster, one can directly advance to the early, middle, and late stages of Great Grandmaster, and finally reach the peak.

When Ying Changqing returned to the summit of Mount Taiyi by stepping through the void, he had already become a terrestrial immortal.

A sudden enlightenment made him extraordinary!

As the sun rose, the Taoists of Taiyi Mountain gradually awoke from their meditation.

They stared at the breakthrough they had achieved, overjoyed.

Then, facing the summit of Mount Taiyi, they bowed in reverence.

"Song Yuanqiao of Wudang in Yuanzhou thanks Your Highness for imparting your martial arts techniques!"

"If Your Highness comes to Wudang Mountain, Wudang will welcome you with the highest honors."

"Master Miejue of Emei Sect in Yuanzhou thanks the Prince for imparting his martial arts techniques. He is the most honored guest of the Emei Sect."

"Beimingzi of the Great Qin Heavenly Sect thanks Mr. Ying Changqing for imparting his cultivation techniques!"

"Xiaoyaozi, the leader of the Great Qin Human Sect..."

"Liyang Wudang Hong Xixiang..."

Instantly, all the Taoists paid their respects and expressed their gratitude to the summit of Mount Taiyi.

They didn't know what had happened.

But everyone heard the name of Prince Ying Changqing of Qin.

"What exactly did this prince go through?"

"How could he command such respect from all the Taoist sects across the land?"

The four women atop Mount Taiyi slowly opened their eyes.

They had a great haul last night.

Xiaomeng was at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm before last night.

After listening to Ying Changqing's lecture all night, his cultivation level directly broke through to the peak of the Grandmaster!

Jingni and Yanfei are not Taoist disciples, so their gains are not as good as Xiaomeng's, but their cultivation has also improved.

Jing Ni broke through from the peak of Grandmaster to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, gaining a lifespan of three hundred years.

Yan Fei advanced from the early stage of the Land Immortal Realm to the middle stage.

Nangong Pushe has extremely high talent, possibly even surpassing Yanfei.

But she was only sixteen years old, younger than Yan Fei and Jing Ni.

He did not reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal, but only advanced from the mid-stage Grandmaster to the peak of Grandmaster.

Jingni and Yanfei were overjoyed by their improved cultivation levels and immediately ran towards Ying Changqing.

They looked up at Ying Changqing, their eyes gentle and warm.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!"

"I am now in the mid-stage of the Land Immortal Realm."

"The enlightenment I had in one night was more effective than years of ascetic practice."

Jing Ni remained silent, unaware that Ying Changqing had already recognized her true identity.

She suppressed her inner joy and tiptoed to warm Ying Changqing.

Nangong Pushe snorted disdainfully upon seeing this.

But her eyes were actually quite complex.

Nangong Pushe never imagined that listening to sermons could lead to such rapid progress in cultivation, even surpassing years of arduous practice.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath.

This Prince Ying Changqing of the Great Qin Dynasty was of noble status, outstanding appearance, and extremely high cultivation.

It can indeed help one reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal within a year and the realm of a celestial being within three years.

The key is that he has grasped the profound philosophy of the Tao Te Ching and is not a hypocrite.

The maids around him and Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School were both happy and content, and following him didn't seem like an unacceptable thing.

Nangong Pu She was originally prepared to refuse Ying Changqing.

Because of her mother, she didn't want to spend her life with the unfamiliar Prince of Qin.

They feared that Ying Changqing would be as despicable as Xie Guanying.

But that night, she completely changed her opinion of Ying Changqing; he truly was the ideal partner.

At this moment, Nangong Pushe had already made his decision.

Xiaomeng's eyes lit up as she stared at Ying Changqing, her gaze filled with admiration.

She was the only Taoist practitioner present, and knew better than anyone how much cultivation Ying Changqing needed to perform the Taoist magic last night.

That level of attainment was beyond Xiaomeng's wildest imagination, and even her master couldn't reach it.

Her admiration for Ying Changqing had reached its peak.

At this moment, Jing Ni was released by Ying Changqing and was panting heavily.

Just as Nangong Pushe was about to speak, Yanfei rushed up and hugged Ying Changqing.

Nangong Pushe blushed as he watched this scene.

Because she knew that as long as she agreed to Ying Changqing's request, she could replace Yan Fei in the future.

Ying Changqing wrapped his arms around Nangong Pushe's waist and sucked hard on her red nipples. Nangong Pushe immediately spat out a soft "Pui!"

He turned and ran away, completely forgetting what he was about to say.

Xiaomeng was still young in Ying Changqing's eyes, but in that era, women her age were already eligible to marry and have children, so she understood what Qingwen meant.

Ying Changqing and Yan Fei stood together, and Yan Fei blushed.

Xiaomeng looked at them curiously, but she found Ying Changqing, Jingni, and Yanfei's behavior boring.

This could be because she practices Taoism, or it could be her nature.

Yan Fei's eyes were glazed over, and her body was weak. She could only stand up with Ying Changqing's support.

Ying Changqing then released her.

Then, instead of heading down the mountain, he sat back down on the edge of the cliff and whispered, "The Tao follows nature, the Great Tao returns to oneness..."

"This is the mighty sword energy? No, this is the true technique of returning to the oneness of the Great Dao!"

Ying Changqing was amazed, finding this extraordinary level of comprehension incredible.

"The Way of Heaven has three thousand forms, all following the natural way; though different, they all lead to the same destination, ultimately reaching the One Great Way!"

After listening to the teachings of the sage Lao Tzu, Ying Changqing gained some insights and created the peerless martial art, "The True Secret of the Great Dao Returning to One".

Ying Changqing immediately realized that this technique was very similar to that of Ke Haoran, the junior uncle of Tang State Academy.

Mencius was the second sage of Confucianism and the junior disciple of Confucius, possessing extraordinary talent.

Ke Haoran comprehended the Haoran Sword Qi on his own, and cultivated it to a high level where he could master all techniques with a single sword strike.

He once used his mighty sword energy to create a cage formation, trapping Lian Sheng Thirty-Two at the Demon Sect's mountain gate for decades.

Ying Changqing comprehended the Great Dao Unity True Technique on his own, and the righteous sword energy at its peak had the same effect.

The Great Dao Returns to One True Technique allowed Ying Changqing to integrate Yin-Yang techniques, Daoist arts, and internal energy, thereby enabling him to unleash all the exquisite skills he had ever witnessed.

Once you understand one principle, you understand all principles; this is the true essence of the Great Way returning to oneness.

For example, Master Xiaomeng's Taoist mental cultivation methods, "Sharing the Light with the Dust" and "Autumn Waters of Ten Thousand Rivers."

Nangong Pushe's nineteen-step sword-stopping technique, and Li Chungang's sword that opens the gates of heaven.

Deng Tai'a's sword control technique, and Li Manman's Confucius sayings and other unique skills and secret techniques.

Ying Changqing was able to learn the essence of the Great Dao Returning to One True Technique by personally witnessing others perform their skills, and then perfectly replicate it.

The power of the Great Dao Returning to One True Technique is immense and needs no further explanation.

There are many powerful martial arts techniques in the world, but if you master the Great Dao Unity Secret, you can immediately learn other people's unique skills.

Not only can it be used at will, but it can also be understood more deeply and be more powerful than the original user.

This is what the sage Lao Tzu meant when he said, "The great way of the world, though different, leads to the same destination; all laws return to the same source."

Ying Changqing was not lacking in cultivation techniques and combat methods, but learning the Great Dao Return to One True Technique made him very happy.

Even if this trip to Mount Taiyi yields no other gains, being able to enter the realm of terrestrial immortals, gain three hundred years of lifespan, and with this true technique, will be enough.

Ying Changqing regulated his internal energy and then stood up.

Looking back at Jingni and Yanfei, whose eyes were full of concern.

"Let's go down the mountain."

"Um."

The two responded and followed behind Ying Changqing.

Xiaomeng stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ying Changqing.

"Thank you for spreading the word!"

Ying Changqing reached out and gently stroked Xiaomeng's long silver hair.

"You're welcome."

Xiaomeng initially resisted Ying Changqing stroking her hair.

But now, her mindset has changed.

Ying Changqing gently stroked the top of her head with his broad, warm hand, making her feel a sense of warmth.

She recalled how her father often ruffled her hair like this when she was a child.

After my home was shattered, I never experienced this kind of warmth again.

"Father..."

As Xiaomeng whispered, she was lost in her memories.

Ying Changqing had already let go of her.

Ying Changqing was surprised to find that Xiaomeng did not resist as usual. Instead, she closed her eyes, looked like she was enjoying herself, and had a gentle gaze.

He didn't know that the child bride, whom his master Bei Mingzi had sold to him, actually regarded him as her father.

Ying Changqing believed that Xiaomeng stopped resisting because she was grateful to him for teaching her the martial arts techniques.

Ying Changqing nodded in satisfaction: "This sermon was indeed effective."

"I not only repaid the kindness of the Dao Ancestor, but also forged this bond."

……

Halfway up Mount Taiyi.

None of the Taoists left.

After Ying Changqing stepped down, they immediately surrounded him excitedly, bowed respectfully, and thanked him.

"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness. We have gained a clearer understanding and our spiritual level has been elevated. This will be much more helpful for our future cultivation."

"Your Highness's Taoist skills are profound; we all admire them greatly."

"If you ever need anything in the future, we will definitely do our best to help you and repay your guidance."

Zhou Zhiruo and the female disciples of the Emei Sect stared at Ying Changqing with infatuated eyes.

No one present found it strange; it seemed normal for Ying Changqing to be looked up to like that.

Only those with high spiritual attainment can understand the principles Ying Changqing spoke of last night; their understanding is extremely profound.

Ying Changqing explained it very clearly, but even experts like Abbess Miejue and Song Yuanqiao still didn't understand some parts at all.

Ying Changqing remained calm, listening to everyone's gratitude and simply nodding with a smile.

"You're welcome, I have other things to do..."

After he finished speaking, everyone immediately and respectfully made way for him.
