People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

The black and white sisters stopped, raised their heads, and looked at Cao Ze with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Cao Ze felt the coolness of the black and white sisters' small hands and said, "How much do you know about the night the Moon Goddess killed Donghuang Taiyi? Tell me everything in detail."

He had no interest in the internal struggles of the Yin-Yang School. Whether it was the Moon God killing Donghuang Taiyi to take the throne or Yanfei being forced away by the Moon God, they were all trivial matters to him.

After a moment's thought, the older sister recounted everything that had happened that day to Cao Ze.

The younger sister added some details that her older sister hadn't mentioned.

According to the Black and White Sisters, after Donghuang Taiyi's death, the Yin-Yang School is now internally divided, and correspondingly, the disciples of the Yin-Yang School have little loyalty to the Moon Goddess, far less than when Donghuang Taiyi was in power.

It's an opportunity.

He was just missing his original core team.

While he considered these Yin-Yang School disciples to be just average, they were all top-tier elites in the Seven Kingdoms.

Not only can he read and write, but he can also fight, making him the ideal subordinate.

They're just not easy to recruit.

If you want to get your hands on these people, you first have to get the Moon Goddess off the stage.

But whether he should support Yanfei to ascend to the throne after the Moon Goddess steps down is another matter.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Yan Fei or was wary of her.

Rather, it's because Yan Fei, as the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School, has such a strong sense of belonging to the school that it might be difficult for him to bring over all of the few remaining disciples to run errands for him...

Cao Ze gently stroked his sisters' hair.

The Yin-Yang School is neither Confucianism nor Mohism nor Agriculturalism, and it has too few disciples.

There are only two or three hundred people at the lowest level, and even if they are all bundled together, it would barely be enough for him to use.

This matter should not be rushed.

With this thought in mind, Cao Ze decided to take Jing Ni to the Yin Yang School tomorrow night to scout out the situation.

For now, let's not help Yan Fei dethrone the Moon Goddess. We'll wait until he finds a way to recruit these Yin-Yang School disciples for his own use before helping Yan Fei ascend to power, so she won't be caught in the middle and disliked by everyone.

"By the way, do you know someone named Chu Nan Gong?"

Now that Donghuang Taiyi is dead, only Chu Nan Gong of the Yin Yang School is acting mysteriously, and it's impossible to determine his intentions for the time being.

"Master Nan?"

The older sister was somewhat surprised, "Does the gentleman know him?"

Cao Ze casually replied, "I've heard of him by chance. It's said that he's a guest elder of your Yin-Yang School."

This was all the information he obtained from the Nameless Sword Saint.

He didn't want to finally win over the Moon Goddess and take in hundreds of disciples from the Yin-Yang School as his core, only to have an old man suddenly appear and shout, "Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin."

His sister shook his hand, which almost made Cao Ze lose his temper.

"Nan Gong can be considered a guest elder of the Yin Yang School, but he has never held a position within the Yin Yang School. To be precise, Nan Gong is not a member of the Yin Yang School."

The younger sister, Hei, offered her opinion.

Cao Ze shook his head slightly. He didn't care whether Chu Nan Gong held a position in the Yin Yang School or whether he was a member of the Yin Yang School. He only cared whether Chu Nan Gong would interfere in the internal affairs of the Yin Yang School.

After he asked what he wanted to ask, his sister smiled and said, "No, the Yin Yang School is a self-contained system, based on the Nine Songs. Anyone who wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the Yin Yang School must hold a position within the Yin Yang School."

"There is no need to worry about this gentleman."

Cao Ze nodded and said, "That's good."

The elder sister added, "By the way, two years ago, after the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader was wounded by Lu Goujian's sword, he ordered us sisters to search for the whereabouts of the Southern Duke in the Chu region, but we didn't know what we were to do."

“I guess it’s for treating the sword wound,” the younger sister chimed in. “Lu Goujian’s Heavenly Will Sword injured the soul of the Eastern Emperor, which is very difficult to heal. It is said that Master Nan has a scroll of the ‘Yellow Stone Heavenly Book’ that was given to the Yellow Emperor by the legendary Goddess of the Nine Heavens.

"It is said that the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou by comprehending the secrets of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and obtaining the legendary magical power."

My younger sister reads a lot of miscellaneous books and classics, which is why she thought of these.

Cao Ze's interest was piqued; he became very interested in everything related to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Whether it was the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions or the Baiyue Treasures in the past, or the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book we are talking about now.

Is there anything else?

My sister continued, "Well, the Yellow Emperor was the first owner of the Yellow Stone Book. The second owner was Jiang Ziya, who assisted King Wu of Zhou in destroying the Shang Dynasty. It is said that he found the book while fishing by the river and fished there for thirty years, eventually mastering the art of fishing without a hook."

"This is the origin of the story of Jiang Taigong fishing, where those who are willing will take the bait."

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Could the 'Yellow Stone Heavenly Book' be a fishing guide?"

He prefers to believe that Jiang Ziya learned profound divination and prophecy through the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book" and then waited by the river for King Wu of Zhou to take the bait.

What is a fishing guide?

The black and white sisters asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Wait a minute... finish telling me what you know about the Yellow Stone Book first."

The older sister pondered, "I have read some of these in the ancient legends stored in the Yin-Yang School."

According to legend, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was written by the Goddess of the Nine Heavens. Mortals can use the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book to gain the ability to glimpse the secrets of heaven that only gods can see.

The younger sister quickly added, "Not long ago, when the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader cast a divination when heavenly lightning struck Xianyang, he said..."

Cao Ze asked in surprise, "What did he say?"

The older and younger sisters exchanged a glance and said in a subtle tone, "It is said that Cao was the one who destroyed Qin."

Cao Ze was stunned. What did this mean?

Wait, a heavenly thunderbolt descends? And strikes Xianyang?

This seems to be the time when I was trying to break through to the half-step Grandmaster level by obtaining a trace of Yang Five Thunder.

What does Donghuang Taiyi mean by this?

Was it Cao who destroyed Qin?

Is this implying that he harbors treasonous intentions? That's too far-fetched!

Cao Ze didn't believe it, but for some reason, he became somewhat worried.

Did Donghuang Taiyi really see a glimpse of the future?

Could it be that the future Qin state will be destroyed by itself?

Shouldn't it be Hu Hai?

It should be Hu who destroyed Qin!

What happened after that?

Cao Ze added, "What happened to this prophecy in the end?"

I imagine the impact shouldn't be too great, otherwise I would have heard about it.

The elder sister said, "At that time, the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader asked us sisters to pass on this message to Lü Buwei. He didn't say anything else."

Cao Ze immediately asked, "What did Lü Buwei say?"

The younger sister said, "He dismissed it as a deceptive trick."

Cao Ze understood.

It must be said that Lü Buwei was quite arrogant.

Of course, at that time I was just a famous scholar, not worthy of Old Lü's attention.

If it were today, Lü Buwei would immediately put himself under maximum pressure, especially during the sensitive period of the Jingyang case.

"Let's continue talking about the Yellow Stone Book."

He had already made up his mind to cultivate his own power in private, and Donghuang Taiyi's prophecy gave him a sense of crisis.

He was certain that as long as Ying Zheng followed his plan step by step, he would not do anything harmful to the Qin state.

However, if Ying Zheng is stubborn and insists on making great strides, wanting to conquer the Baiyue in the south and make the sun never set, then he may very well choose other means to make Ying Zheng stop.

The people of the seven kingdoms don't have that many people to let him exploit and torment them like this.

It seems I need to think twice about the powerful weapons like gunpowder I'm about to use.

However, small things like papermaking can be used.

My sister said, "I've also read the legend of the 'Yellow Stone Heavenly Book'."

"It not only allows people to glimpse the secrets of heaven, but also grants mortals magical powers to turn the great wheel of history that determines the fate of the world. It is said that during times of peace and prosperity, the Heavenly Book will disappear and vanish without a trace. But when the world is in chaos, this Heavenly Book will reappear."

"Just like the Yellow Emperor and Jiang Ziya who obtained the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book."

Cao Ze seemed to be deep in thought.

He had just recalled what Zhang Liang had said about the secret of the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book" in the original work.

The gist is that when the Yellow Emperor was fighting Chi You, he was surrounded by Chi You and his eighty-one brothers and was in dire straits.

In a moment of extreme urgency, the Yellow Emperor received divine assistance, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bestowed upon him the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book.

After obtaining the Heavenly Book, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan gained miraculous power by comprehending the secrets within this Yellow Stone Heavenly Book.

In the end, they turned the tide in a desperate situation, defeated Chi You and his eighty-one brothers, and the land was restored to life.

This story is fantastical and magnificent, yet it is also an ordinary heroic epic.

Cao Ze subconsciously analyzed the story.

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan comprehended the secrets of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, enabling him to unleash immense power in an instant to defeat Chi You.

It is clear that the "Huangshi Heavenly Book" must be hiding some incredible secret.

Perhaps it was the power that the Yellow Emperor obtained, or perhaps it was the art of divination and prophecy that Jiang Ziya acquired...

But either way, it was enough for him to begin to take this extraordinary book seriously.

"Sir, now that we've finished talking, we should go to sleep."

The next morning, as dawn broke, Cao Ze tiptoed away, pretending to have just returned to his residence.

As for the peerless ghost guarding the gate, his large eyes held boundless bewilderment.
