It's not that it has little effect on their cultivation; rather, it can save them hundreds of years of cultivation.
Immediately amidst the tremors of the two great spirit officials, the original Chunyangzi reappeared, with his primordial spirit auspicious cloud above his head.
Above the auspicious clouds, a young swordsman, a young warrior, and a middle-aged emperor stood side by side, looking down at the two.
One qi transforms the three qing dynasties!
Wang Chan and Wang Ao, both wise men, immediately understood the relationship between Donghua Dijun and Zhang Xiaoshan.
At the same time, it was even more shocking that Zhang Xiaoshan's true form was only at the Taiyi level, yet he had actually cultivated this supreme divine power that shook the three realms: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
Especially the young, strong men, who were clearly practitioners of profound arts, and their level of cultivation was not low.
"Since you two are both on the same side, Chunyangzi will not hide anything from you."
Chunyangzi was valued by the Dao Ancestor because he ascended from the lower realm and cultivated many profound techniques such as One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and Primordial Spirit Auspicious Cloud in the lower realm.
Most importantly, Chunyangzi received a wisp of pure Yang essence from the Eastern King Duke, thus he can be considered the reincarnation of the Eastern King Duke.
Hiss...
Wang Chan and Wang Ao couldn't help but gasp when they heard the last sentence.
Is he the reincarnation of the Eastern King Duke?
Even a wisp of the origin is an ancient and powerful text.
No wonder Zhang Xiaoshan was able to become the disciple of the Supreme Dao Ancestor immediately after his ascension, and the Great Heavenly Venerable even bypassed the Six Departments of Heavenly Dou and conferred upon him the title of Emperor.
Chapter 112 The Great Power of Humanity Presents Treasures to the King of Qin
The human world!
This was during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and Wang Chan and Wang Ao had only ascended to heaven a century ago.
Otherwise, given their qualifications, they would at least be cultivators at the Taiyi realm in later generations, and it would be impossible for them to condescend to the newly established Donghua Imperial Palace.
The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms continued unabated!
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was originally in the mortal realm looking for a way to accumulate merit, suddenly saw an opportunity.
Assisting Qin Shi Huang in unifying the six kingdoms was an immense merit.
However, the biggest problem is killing. If a cultivator kills too much, it will bring about a calamity.
As a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, Zhang Xiaoshan also abhorred killing, especially human killing.
As for the merchant guild model of the previous world, it could quickly accumulate wealth, but it was impossible to accumulate merit in the same way as in the previous life.
The connection between the Journey to the West world and the Heavenly Realm's direct intervention in the human world is a disruption of the natural order.
You should know that the God of Wealth, the God of Fortune, the God of Prosperity, the God of Longevity, and the God of Plague all have jobs to do.
Therefore, if Zhang Xiaoshan wants to gain merit, he must find another way.
In addition to helping the First Emperor unify the six kingdoms, he could also develop the study of things and, with the help of the Taoist doctrine of "following the natural way," develop his own school of thought.
What is nature? 903
Natural science is also the way of nature; it is merely an extension of the way of nature.
Therefore, the merit of developing a sect's doctrine is self-evident.
In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan also has a youth incarnation who can join the army for training and use the battlefield's killing intent to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.
Even if a great calamity befalls them, they can simply have the youth transform into the one to face it. As long as their profound skills reach the sixth or seventh level, they will have nothing to fear from a mere great calamity.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xiaoshan went to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Xiaoshan did not appear immediately.
Because he knew that showing himself as a celestial master would be tantamount to suicide.
After all, the war between the seven kingdoms was ongoing. Although no disciples of the three religions were involved, other cultivators were absolutely not allowed to interfere in the chaos of the human world.
Unless it's the Hundred Schools of Thought!
Therefore, the best way for Zhang Xiaoshan to make his appearance is as a sorcerer, so as not to attract anyone's attention.
Moreover, although the sorcerer's identity is Taoist, he can actually belong to other sects, making him very suitable for spreading the Tao.
The burning of books and burying of scholars alive meant burying those sorcerers.
"The sorcerer Zhang Shan, who admires the great talent and strategy of the Qin Emperor and has the ambition to unify the six kingdoms, has come to present a divine artifact for unifying the four continents!"
A voice echoed throughout the capital city, even outside the Xianyang Palace, and it was too late for the guards to stop it.
However, seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan was dressed as a sorcerer and was holding a tray, the general decided not to pay any more attention to him.
Whether he lives or dies is none of his business.
Soon, a young eunuch led the way, bringing Zhang Xiaoshan to the solemn and majestic main hall.
The young emperor, who had just come of age, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan who had just entered with a curious expression.
Hearing that Zhang Xiaoshan had come to present the divine artifact so openly and with such a large entourage, which was not something an ordinary sorcerer would dare to do, perhaps he could give him a pleasant surprise.
"The sorcerer Zhang Shan pays his respects to the King of Qin!"
The title "Qin Huang" was just a respectful one. At this time, the King of Qin had not yet unified the Eastern Continent, and his status was still that of a king, not an emperor.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan lifted the red cloth, revealing two dark, egg-sized objects on the tray, which immediately made everyone frown.
"What is this? How can it be called a divine artifact?"
"Your Majesty, this object is called the Heaven-Shaking Thunder. It is a rare item that I discovered by chance while refining elixirs."
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, do not be fooled by the fact that this object is no bigger than the palm of your hand. Once its internal mechanism is activated, the sudden power it unleashes will be enough to raze the entire palace to the ground."
These are two super bombs specially made by Zhang Xiaoshan, which are more than a hundred times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder.
Therefore, once activated, leveling the main hall in front of them would be a piece of cake.
Wow!
Upon hearing this, all the doctors' expressions changed drastically, and their eyes also revealed doubt.
After all, gunpowder had not yet been invented, and no one believed that such a divine weapon existed in the world. However, the King of Qin looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with intense excitement.
"Is this true?"
"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can try it in an open space."
This object is extremely powerful; Your Majesty can observe its power from a high platform at a distance and then discern its authenticity.
"it is good!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's confidence, the King of Qin was overjoyed.
If this object truly possesses such immense power, it could be said that Heaven is helping the Qin Dynasty to unify the six kingdoms.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Xiaoshan stood on the city wall of the palace gate, holding a black goose egg in his hand;
On the opposite side, King Qin stood in the main hall, with rows of guards holding shields and armor in front of him, protecting him from the aftershocks of the explosion.
Even though they didn't believe that the small circle could have such power, the commander of the Imperial Guard still took all the necessary precautions meticulously.
Seeing that everything was ready, Zhang Xiaoshan lit the fuse and threw the 'Thunderclap' thirty feet away.
boom!
The thunderbolt exploded upon landing, its sound like a bolt from the blue, shaking the land for miles around.
The plaza, which was originally set up with many obstacles, was not only filled with smoke, but the huge shock wave from the explosion also covered an area of fifty feet in radius, directly blowing those obstacles weighing nearly a thousand pounds away, which then rolled to the ground ten feet away.
Especially those doctors who were completely unprepared and didn't believe in the thunderclap at all.
The deafening roar of thunder not only caused my heart to stop, but also left me with a ringing in my ears and a complete dazed state.
"Good! Good! Good..."
Upon witnessing such terrifying power, the King of Qin was initially shocked, but then became excited and overjoyed.
With this in hand, what is there to fear from the six kingdoms?
One thunderbolt is already this powerful; if hundreds of them were fired simultaneously, they could easily pacify a city.
"My dear minister, how much did it take to make this? Was it difficult?"
"Your Majesty, this Heaven-Shaking Thunder was made by me using a special mineral. It is extremely rare and difficult to make."
However, the Taoist priest possessed another inexpensive weapon: a thunderbolt bomb costing only a dozen or so coins, though its power only covered an area of three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Anyone caught in its path would either die or be severely injured.
"Very well, I want both!"
The King of Qin was overjoyed. The Thunderclap Bomb was expensive and extremely rare, and could be used as a trump card.
But the Thunderclap Bomb is different. It only costs a dozen coins to produce one, making it so cheap that everyone can have several. And it's quite powerful too.
For a time, the entire court was shaken.
"Your Majesty, I am offering this item to help you unify the world."
However, this substance is harmful to nature and, if it becomes rampant, it will be a double-edged sword, detrimental to the empire.
Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to establish the Heavenly Fire Bureau, which will be under closed management and will only obey Your Majesty's orders. No one else may interfere or spy on it!
"allow!"
The King of Qin considered the consequences of this substance becoming widespread, not to mention the immense harm it would cause to the people.
Moreover, this thing can become a powerful weapon for the Qin state, and it can also become a divine weapon for the other six states. It is a double-edged sword that can harm both the user and others. The Heavenly Fire Bureau has a good idea.
Therefore, he approved the allocation of 10,000 taels of gold and 3,000 slaves to build the Heavenly Fire Supervisor.
Chapter 113 Unification of the Empire - Wu Anjun Chonglou
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
After the Qin Empire gained control of the divine weapon—gunpowder—its army became invincible and unstoppable.
The original plan, which required ten years of preparation and twenty years to unify the six kingdoms, was accomplished in just ten years, making it the first great empire to unify the four continents.
Especially noteworthy are the top generals of the empire who have made outstanding contributions this time—Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Chonglou…
In just ten years, Chonglou rose from enlisting in the army to becoming the Marquis of Wu'an, and is now the most illustrious nobleman in the empire.
His unparalleled battlefield prowess first made him stand out in the conquest of Zhao; later, he single-handedly led the conquest of Chu, displaying decisive command and ingenious strategies, leading an army of 300,000 to defeat the million-strong Chu army, thus earning him the title of Lord Wu'an.
The appearance of Chonglou was also one of the reasons that accelerated the demise of the six states.
As a powerful expert at the fifth level of Xuan Gong, he is impervious to blades and spears, and even the spells of those extraordinary people in the mortal world have no effect on him.
His invincible figure on the battlefield was awe-inspiring and greatly boosted the morale of the enemy.
Therefore, Chonglou has now become a nightmare for the nobles of the six kingdoms.
Just hearing his name made them tremble with fear, and they dared not step forward.
Moreover, Chonglou cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique by absorbing malevolent energy on the battlefield. Although his progress was not rapid, he did not lose control due to the excessive amount of malevolent energy.
In particular, the presence of battlefield aura has allowed his cultivation to progress steadily, though this progress is not visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, after ten years of military service, from a private to a general, Chonglou's decisive and resolute face had gained a touch of maturity.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on unifying the six kingdoms!"
Inside the main hall, all the officials bowed in unison to celebrate the unification of the six kingdoms and the dynasty's ascension to the status of an empire.
The kneeling etiquette originated with Liu Bang. Except in special circumstances, officials could simply bow in the court, and they usually sat with the emperor in the hall to discuss important state affairs.
"Gentlemen, please rise! Hahaha..."
With a smile on his face, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, accomplishing a feat never before achieved by anyone before.
Moreover, among the military talents emerging from this empire, there is another one: Lord Wu'an.
Qin Shi Huang was not King Zhaoxiang of Qin, so naturally he placed great importance on and trusted Lord Wu'an, Chonglou.
After all, once the six kingdoms were unified, Wang Jian wisely withdrew from public life, demanding luxurious mansions and beautiful women to demonstrate his submissiveness. Historically, only he and Guo Ziyi, after achieving great merit that overshadowed their rulers, were able to enjoy their later years in peace.
Therefore, the empire's top generals were led by Lord Wu'an, Chonglou.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
