I will make Qin Shi Huang immortal in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Tian quickly searched his mind for information about this year.

The knowledge of "Ancient Chinese History" is as clear in Qingming's memory as a scroll unfolding before his eyes—in the twenty-second year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, the Qin army was sweeping across the six states with overwhelming force.

Wang Jian's army of 600,000 is besieging Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and the state of Chu is about to perish.

The State of Wei has been completely destroyed, the State of Yan is left with only remnants of its defeated army, barely clinging to life in Liaodong, and the State of Qi trembles in the east, not daring to make any rash moves.

Ying Zheng, the thirty-three-year-old ruler of Qin, is gradually bringing the entire world under his feet.

In less than a year, the State of Qi will surrender without a fight, all six states will be destroyed, and the world will be unified.

Ying Zheng will no longer be the King of Qin, but the first emperor in Chinese history—Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Tian crouched in a hidden spot, digesting this astonishing information, and remained silent for a long time.

Great Qin.

Emperor Qin Shihuang.

That fascinating ancestor.

As a history enthusiast, Qin Tian's feelings toward Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng are complex, carrying both deep respect and an inexplicable sense of closeness.

A powerful ruler who swept across the land and unified the world, a reformer who standardized writing, cart tracks, and weights and measures, and a tyrant who has been cursed by later generations for two thousand years.

His merits and demerits, his ambitions, his persistence and madness, his successes and failures have been repeatedly told and interpreted in textbooks and films of later generations.

But at this moment, Qin Tian realized that he was no longer looking at this person across two thousand years.

He lives in this era.

The historically renowned Qin Shi Huang is, at this very moment, alive and well somewhere on this land.

Perhaps he was reviewing memorials in the Xianyang Palace, perhaps he was discussing state affairs with ministers such as Li Si and Wang Wan, or perhaps he was gazing at the unconquered territories on the map, his eyes burning with the ambition to unify the world.

But what Qin Tian cared about most was something else entirely.

Qin Shi Huang. He achieved immortality.

Historically, after unifying the six kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang became obsessed with finding the elixir of immortality.

He dispatched the alchemist Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls across the sea to the legendary immortal mountain to seek the elixir of immortality.

He believed that there were immortal mountains overseas, immortals on those mountains, and immortals who possessed the elixir of immortality.

None of those alchemists, Confucian scholars, or those charlatans who used the guise of immortals to swindle and deceive could do it.

Xu Fu tricked three thousand boys and girls and a ship full of gold and silver treasures, and never returned.

The alchemists Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng slandered Qin Shi Huang behind his back, and then fled.

Those Confucian scholars even accused Qin Shi Huang of being tyrannical and cruel behind his back, which ultimately led to the catastrophe of burning books and burying scholars alive.

Xu Fu couldn't do it, Lu Sheng couldn't do it, Hou Sheng couldn't do it.

But Qin Tian can do it.

He looked down at his hands.

The Yuan Disciple realm grants a lifespan of a thousand years. The Yuan Scholar realm grants a lifespan of ten thousand years.

With each subsequent advancement in the realm, lifespan increases tenfold.

Reversing time and space, mastering cause and effect—these seemingly unbelievable abilities are all achievable in the final stages of the "Elemental Force Guiding Technique."

Immortality?

Isn't that the most basic thing?

Forget about immortality; once my cultivation is strong enough, plucking stars from the sky and seizing the moon won't be a problem.

If His Majesty the Emperor wants a star, it's a matter of minutes.

"Those damned sorcerers..." Qin Tian muttered to himself, his tone tinged with disdain. "They disappointed our ancestor his whole life, and died with regrets in the sand dunes. They deserve to die."

But then he thought about it again, and realized that the current time was the 22nd year of Qin Shi Huang's reign.

Ying Zheng was thirty-three years old, in the prime of his life.

Fifteen years remained until his fifth eastern tour and his death in Shachiu.

fifteen years.

Qin Tian did some calculations.

He spent five years cultivating from an ordinary person to the Yuan Disciple realm. According to the description of the cultivation method, the difficulty of breaking through from Yuan Disciple to Yuan Master would increase significantly, and the time required would probably be even longer.

But even if it takes ten or twelve years, there is still plenty of time.

He could reach the Yuan Shi realm while Ying Zheng was still alive.

One of the hallmarks of the Yuan Shi realm is the ability to fly through the air.

Imagine a person standing in mid-air, their robes fluttering, descending from the sky and appearing before Qin Shi Huang, telling him that they possess the secret to immortality.

What would be the reaction of that emperor who was obsessed with immortality?

Just thinking about it made Qin Tian laugh.

However, now is not the time.

Although those at the Yuan Tu level already possess the ability to protect themselves, it is still not enough.

A force of ten thousand pounds might be enough to carve a bloody path through a group of people, but it's no match for a massive army, a professional military formation, and archers.

Moreover, to gain Qin Shi Huang's trust, one must demonstrate a sufficiently awe-inspiring power.

Flying through the air is the best proof.

No matter how high one's martial arts skills are, one is still just a mortal.

Only by standing in mid-air, above the nine heavens, can one be a true immortal and truly convince Qin Shi Huang.

After thinking it all through, Qin Tian made a decision.

He returned to the forest where he had cultivated for five years.

Continue your practice.

From Yuan Tu to Yuan Shi, this was a huge leap.

Yuan Tu was still focused on the level of "strength," such as the strength of ten thousand jin and the body of steel. These were all manifestations of strength.

Yuan Shi, on the other hand, has already touched upon the level of "Dao". He can fly through the air, control the release of Yuan power, take objects from a distance, protect his body with Yuan power, and use the Yuan power of heaven and earth to perform all sorts of incredible means.

This is a qualitative change.

The qualitative transformation from human to immortal.

Qin Tian dared not slack off.

He knew who he was racing against: time, Ying Zheng's aging body, and that place called "Sand Dune".

fifteen years.

He must break through to the Yuan Shi level within fifteen years.

Day after day, year after year.

Cultivate, eat, sleep. Sleep, eat, cultivate.

The cycle repeats itself, monotonous yet fulfilling.

Cultivating at the Yuan Tu realm is much more difficult than before.

The operation of the Yuanli Guiding Technique becomes more complex, requiring the guidance of Yuanli to form a small circulation within the body, gradually opening up those meridians and acupoints that were not previously touched.

This process is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could rupture the meridians and render all previous efforts futile.

Qin Tian dared not be hasty, nor could he be hasty.

He took one step at a time, steadily and surely.

Every cycle of the microcosmic orbit is performed with the aim of perfection, and every acupoint is opened through repeated confirmation.

His accumulation over the past five years has allowed him to stand firmly in the Yuan Disciple realm.

However, the transition from a Yuan disciple to a Yuan master requires more than just the accumulation of Yuan power; it also requires an understanding and mastery of the essence of Yuan power.

Yuan energy is omnipresent, it sustains the operation of the universe, and it is the foundation of all things.

To understand the power of the elements is to understand the essence of this world.

This process cannot be rushed.

Life in the forest remained peaceful.

Spring brings forth life, summer fosters growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage; the four seasons cycle endlessly.

In his spare time from cultivation, Qin Tian also began to try some other things.

He has clear knowledge and memories in his mind; he remembers everything he learned in college perfectly.

Physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, and materials science—these fields of knowledge were like cheat codes in a world two thousand years ago, practically a game-changer.

Qin Tian first tried to make a simple loom.

Made of wood and bamboo strips, without a single iron nail, all connections rely on mortise and tenon joints.

The principle of a loom is not complicated. The design and manufacture of its mechanical structure is not difficult for someone with a complete understanding of modern engineering.

With a loom, one can weave cloth.

With cloth, you can make clothes.
