P.S.: Thanks to reader "Incredibly Crazed Computer" for becoming the seventh patron of this book (????).
Yang Cheng had guessed that the world containing the legacy of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun was peculiar, but he never expected it to be this peculiar.
Looking at Zhang Liang, who seemed slightly uneasy and afraid of being silenced, Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant."
These guys are arrogant and domineering, and they're ready to kill at the slightest provocation. If I kill them, they deserve it; there's no need to hide it.
My name is Yang Cheng. I followed my master into the mountains to cultivate when I was young, and I have only just come out of the mountains now. I no longer understand this world.
Brother Zhang, could you please enlighten me on what year it is now? And what major events have occurred in recent years?
Zhang Liang said knowingly, "I had guessed that Brother Yang must be a successor of some hidden sect, and now it seems that's indeed the case."
"Brother Yang, you've come to the right person. I may not have many other skills, but I've read quite a few books and have some understanding of the current state of affairs in the world. I can certainly help you resolve your doubts."
Upon hearing Yang Cheng's identity, Zhang Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a hint of joy.
As long as the powerful figure before us isn't one of the tyrannical Qin's men, everything will be fine.
He could even try to win over the other party and get this powerful figure to join him in resisting the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.
As he spoke, Zhang Liang began to tell Yang Cheng his story in detail. He was an excellent orator and his story was very vivid.
This world is indeed the Qin Dynasty, but it is a parallel universe, a Qin Dynasty that has been distorted by extraordinary forces.
The various schools of thought and some reclusive sects all possess powerful abilities, but they are not about cultivating immortality or cultivating immortality. Instead, they possess a more primal power, such as Qi cultivators, Taoist cultivators, and even the martial arts school's practice of using malevolent energy to refine the body, the Mohist school's war mechanisms, and other strange powers all exist in this world.
Just like Zhang Liang in front of us, he was a disciple of Huang Shigong, a master of the Huang-Lao lineage. He was a pure Taoist cultivator with unparalleled mastery of the Five Elements techniques.
So, in general, this is the world of Xianqin, a realm of extraordinary power.
When power is distorted, history is naturally distorted as well.
The first half of history was relatively normal, but after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, history began to take a turn for the worse.
It is now the 41st year of the First Emperor's reign, but historically the First Emperor died of illness in Shaqiu in the 37th year.
In this world, in the 28th year of the First Emperor's reign, he sent the Qi cultivator Xu Fu with five white boys and girls on a multi-story ship to the sea in search of the elixir of immortality.
Historically, it was around this time that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to find the elixir of immortality, but Xu Fu returned empty-handed.
In this world, although Xu Fu did not bring back the elixir of immortality, he did bring back immortal treasures and cultivation techniques for the First Emperor to practice, enabling the First Emperor to transcend the ordinary and attain sainthood, greatly increasing his lifespan.
Xu Fu was thus bestowed the title of Lord Yuntai, and the First Emperor established the Imperial Observatory, appointing Xu Fu as its director to oversee all cultivators in the land.
Furthermore, he collected all the weapons in the world to forge twelve golden statues to suppress all cultivators in the world.
Since the First Emperor did not die, there would naturally not be a situation like the Second Emperor of Qin ascending the throne and the world descending into chaos.
It wasn't because the Qin state had less pressure on the world, but because its strength had increased, so much so that all the rebellious and cultivation forces in the world couldn't raise their heads.
At this time, the Qin state still exerted great oppression on the people, and brutally suppressed the remnants of the nobles of the former six states. The various schools of thought either chose to serve the Qin state or were suppressed by it.
The Qin state adopted an extremely hostile attitude towards cultivators.
No matter what school or sect you belong to, if you are not working for the Qin state, then you are considered heretical and must be killed.
Therefore, Yang Xiong's previous treatment of Yang Cheng was not only because he was a disciple of a military family with a fierce and irritable personality, but also because Yang Cheng was an unfamiliar cultivator, who was definitely someone to be killed.
Despite its immense power, the Qin state, with its tyrannical rule, did have its share of rebellions, but all of them were suppressed without exception.
In the 29th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, Qin Shi Huang made an eastern tour. Zhang Liang, a descendant of the Han state, and his servant Tie Nu attempted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang at Bolangsha. However, they failed and fled in disarray, ending up on Qin's wanted list.
In the thirty-first year of the First Emperor's reign, more than ten schools of thought, including Yin-Yang, Confucianism, Huang-Lao, and the School of Diplomacy, joined forces with hundreds of cultivators from dozens of sects to infiltrate Xianyang and assassinate the First Emperor. However, a traitor emerged from the Confucian school and betrayed the information to the Imperial Observatory.
Xu Fu devised an ambush, using twelve golden statues to set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, which killed hundreds of cultivators. From then on, the cultivation world suffered a great loss of vitality and dared not set foot in Xianyang again.
In the thirty-eighth year of the First Emperor's reign, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched the Great Rebellion in Dazexiang, which swept up hundreds of thousands of people.
General Zhang Han led tens of thousands of "human demons" from Mount Li to fight against the enemy. They won many battles and suffered a crushing defeat, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Chen Sheng was shot dead by Zhang Han from ten miles away with a demon bone arrow. His three souls and seven spirits vanished on the spot. Wu Guang disappeared without a trace. The uprising lasted for only a month before it completely disappeared.
In the fortieth year of the First Emperor's reign, a branch of the Mohist school, which had always served the Qin state, suddenly rebelled against Qin, calling themselves the true Qin Mohists and referring to the Mohists who remained in Qin as the Evil Mohists.
Qin Mo sought refuge with Zhao Xie, a descendant of the Zhao nobility. Zhao Xie then declared himself King of Zhao, and for a time, various schools of thought and sects flocked to him.
Not only that, the nobles of the six states that had been suppressed by Qin, as well as the descendants of Zhao, also joined in, and even took the initiative to seize cities and offer them to Zhao Xie. In a short time, Zhao Xie swept up hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of cities, far exceeding the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Such a powerful rebellion was ultimately annihilated in one battle by Qin general Wang Li and his evil Mo people. It is said that the evil Mo people deployed a large number of terrifying flesh-and-blood machines, turning the entire battlefield into a meat grinder.
