Kunlun Ruins, within Purple Cap Mountain.
Zi Qingcang and Ye Chen sat opposite each other. A furnace of sandalwood incense was surrounded by smoke. The green smoke was like a dragon, refreshing one's mind.
Ye Chen questioned Zi Qingcang why the Kunlun Ruins extracted all nine dragon veins from the secular world and suppressed them mercilessly.
As soon as he said that, he stared at Zi Qingcang. His tone was unquestionable, and it was almost like an order.
Hearing this, Zi Qingcang faintly sighed, as if he had already guessed it. Then, he slowly said, "Before answering fellow's question, can fellow answer a question of mine?"
Ye Chen nodded lightly.
Zi Qingcang's gaze was deep as he said fearfully, "Fellow Daoist, you should have seen that Corpse King, right?"
"Of course!"
Ye Chen nodded.
The Corpse King he spoke of was naturally the Qin Corpse that had escaped from the Buddhist Sect's Thunderclap Pagoda.
Zi Qingcang asked again, "Fellow Daoist, do you know this person's background?"
Ye Chen went straight to the point, "Is he the first emperor?"
As for the Qin corpse, he had already guessed it. Although he was not too sure, since Zi Qingcang took the initiative to ask, he could only tell the truth.
Zi Qingcang smiled when he heard this.
"Isn't he?" Ye Chen was surprised.
"You can say yes, but you can also say no!"
Zi Qingcang shook his head, his expression unfathomable, "To be precise, that Corpse King is only the First Emperor's evil body!"
Evil body?
Ye Chen was stunned at first, then his pupils shrunk slightly.
In Daoism, using the concept of cultivation, a person needs to break through the shackles of the body to become stronger. In other words, the body is a person's greatest treasure.
Therefore, the Daoists divided the human body into three main categories: the Jade Body, the Dharma Body, and the Sin Body.
Among them, the Jade Body was the body of a mortal. Although the Jade Body could not cultivate any techniques, it could rely on accumulating merits to become an Immortal. Of course, this process often required tens of thousands of reincarnations.
Dharmakaya, on the other hand, was when a mortal stepped into the Cultivation Realm. Their bodies were changed by the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and they were able to breathe in and out True Essence Magic Power.
As for the Sin Body, it was a body that relied on the Evil Path to obtain the Art of Immortality. Because the Evil Path had never been tolerated by the Righteous Path, it was called the Sin Body.
Seeing Ye Chen's reaction, Zi Qingcang knew that he understood what a sinful body was. Therefore, he said, "China had a cultivation system long before the Qin dynasty. That's why Yan Chi fought in the Battle of Zhuolu, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, King Yu controlled the flood, and the Zhou Dynasty conquered Zhou …"
"This system was developed to its peak during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. At that time, people like Laozi and Confucius rose to prominence, while the Legalists and Mohists contended. It was a golden age!"
Ye Chen secretly nodded when he heard that.
He had never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. For example, King Wen wrote the Book of Changes and created the Eight Trigrams of King Wen. It could be said that he had created a clear precedent for the cultivation civilization of China.
"At that time, he mentioned the Way of the Sage!"
Zi Qingcang continued, "The people led by Confucius advocated educating the people and using their jade bodies to collect merit. The Confucian Dao is the most sacred!"
"The people led by Huang Shigong, Laozi, and the others paid attention to drinking and eating in the morning, refining external pills at night, and practicing talismans to become saints!"
"They used the School of Yin-Yang and the School of Vertical and Horizontal to promote wars, absorbing death aura, resentment, and other methods to cultivate the sinful body to become saints!"
"The Lord of Martial Peace, Bai Qi, or the Overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, and the others paid attention to refining the body and becoming saints of the Martial Dao …"
"…"
Zi Qingcang spoke frankly with assurance, "This grand occasion lasted until the Qin unified the six countries. At that time, the Confucian, Daoist, Mohists, Legalists, Mingguang, Yin-Yang, School of Vertical and Horizontal, and Nonggong were the most prosperous!"
"All nine of these schools have saints?" Ye Chen's eyes flickered.
"That's right!"
Zi Qingcang nodded lightly and sighed softly, "However, after the first emperor unified the six countries, he suppressed the Hundred Schools of Thought. He did things such as burning books, burying Confucians, and expelling Confucians, causing his relationship with the nine schools to be rather tense."
Ye Chen nodded secretly.
The first emperor unified the six countries, including the four seas and eight wastelands. He built the Great Wall, conquered Baiyue in the south, and resisted the Xiongnu in the north. He could be said to be the overlord of a generation.
However, later on, he kept rejecting the six countries and hated the Hundred Schools of Thought, especially the Confucians. He also implemented the Qin law that was too strict, causing the internal conflicts to be extremely tense. In the end, he died in his second life.
Of course, this was also related to the previous monarchs of Qin.
Earlier, Qin was only a small country in a corner. It was far from being as powerful as Chu and Qi.
Later on, it was Duke Xiaogong of Qin who put Shang Yang in an important position and used the Legalist theory to rule the country. After six generations of hard work, Qin became increasingly powerful and finally annexed the six countries in one fell swoop.
In history, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, was a member of the Legalist school.
In other words, for the past six generations, the Qin Dynasty had respected the Legalists and treated people harshly.
Therefore, after it was passed down to the first emperor's generation, the first emperor was naturally deeply affected. He did not like people who only knew how to talk.
"The first emperor knew that people were easy to kill, but thoughts were the hardest to destroy. He was worried that no one could suppress the nine schools after he died, so he had the desire to live forever."
Zi Qingcang said slowly, "Therefore, he sent the alchemist Xu Fu to the legendary three immortal mountains to seek the art of immortality!"
At this point, he paused for a moment, "Three years later, Xu Fu returned. Although he did not find the legendary three immortal mountains, he discovered an immortal ruin."
"An immortal ruin?" Ye Chen frowned.
"That's right!"
Zi Qingcang nodded and said, "At that time, the first emperor dismissed everyone and summoned Xu Fu alone. No one knew what they talked about. All they knew was that half a month later, Qin General Wang Jian secretly led troops to dig up the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan.
"The first emperor was with him!"
Ye Chen asked immediately, "What happened then?"
"Later on, it was rumored that the first emperor was deeply infected with a disease and could not see anyone. He had been hiding in his bedroom with the doors and windows tightly shut. Every day, the corpses of palace maids and eunuchs were secretly carried out and burned."
Ye Chen's eyes focused when he heard that, "In other words, the first emperor had already turned into a zombie? To be precise, he was poisoned? "
The first emperor's series of reactions and actions were either because he cultivated demonic techniques or because he was poisoned.
"That's right. Even though the first emperor was extremely secretive, he was still found out by the nine schools. Some people said that the first emperor was cursed in the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan!"
Zi Qingcang nodded lightly, "Some people also said that the first emperor found an expired immortal pill in the immortal ruin. After consuming it, his body mutated."
Ye Chen found it funny when he heard that.
Immortal pills could expire?
"The mighty ruler of the Qin Dynasty, an existence that suppressed all borders, has actually become a monster. If the people of the world knew about this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it!"
Zi Qingcang said, "Therefore, it's rumored that the first emperor obtained a method from somewhere. Before the corpse poison attacked his heart, he actually tried to separate two bodies from his original body. They were the evil body with corpse poison and the avatar!"
"Three Pure Ones?!"
Ye Chen almost blurted out. He realized that the first emperor's move was the Three Pure Ones!
