Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 940
Chapter 940: The Secret from 2,000 Years Ago!
The so-called Three Pure Ones was originally referring to how Lao Zi could transform into three mountains with one qi. Later on, it was referred to the omnipresent dao, encompassing all things.
However, the Three Pure Ones that Ye Chen was referring to was a divinity. Three clones would be formed after one mastering it. Each clone would possess the same power as the main body. Moreover, they would still have the potential to cultivate and evolve.
Ye Chen was dumbfounded as he thought to this point, “The first emperor is well-versed in the Three Pure Ones Technique?!”
After that, he forcefully suppressed the shock inside of him and asked once more, “You mean to say that the first emperor wanted to separate the evil body, dharma body, and use the jade body to oversee the world while the evil body and dharma body embark on the path of eternal life?”
“That’s right!”
Zi Qingcang looked at him in surprise. Clearly, he did not expect Ye Chen to realize the first emperor’s real objective.
“What happened then?”
Ye Chen said, “He succeeded?”
“He did, but there seems to be a flaw!”
Zi Qingcang nodded slightly, “The first emperor only separated his evil body but not his dharma body. Therefore, he only had an evil body in the form of a corpse!
“Anywayt, the Qin’s strength skyrocketed, and many secret weapons appeared. For instance, the battle spears with talisman inscribed on them, bows that had been consecrated, and even medicinal pills that were secretly produced!”
He sucked in a breath of cold air and said, “In just three short months, he has nurtured an army of tigers and wolves that can wipe out the six kingdoms in one day!”
“In other words, the immortal ruins that Xu Fu found is real. The first emperor got a lot of good stuff from it?” Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.
Zi Qingcang nodded gently and said, “However, the paper could not contain the fire. After the news spread, the remnants of the six kingdoms and the nine schools also discovered the immortal ruins.
“The first emperor was worried that the remaining forces of the six kingdoms and the nine schools would be too strong for him to control, so he initiated the war!”
At this point, he enunciated each and every word clearly, “In that battle, the first emperor guarded the palace with his jade body, and his evil body appeared in the world. With the battle prowess of a Corpse King, he engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the nine saints!”
“The saints of the nine schools were not their match. At the crucial moment, the people from the six kingdoms sneaked into the palace. The Chu set fire to Epang Palace and caused a commotion!”
As Zi Qingcang spoke, he shook his head, “The rest attacked the first emperor’s jade body. As a result, something went wrong with the first emperor’s evil body. In the end, he was suppressed by the nine saints!”
“Then why is the first emperor’s evil body suppressed in the Kunlun Ruins?” Ye Chen frowned secretly and asked in confusion.
Zi Qingcang glanced at him and said, “Fellow, you might not know this, but after the nine saints and the remaining survivors of the six kingdoms obtained the inheritance in the immortal ruins, they combined their powers to create the Kunlun Ruins.”
Ye Chen understood immediately.
Zi Qingcang continued, “Because the first emperor’s evil body was suppressed, his jade body suffered a backlash and got worse by the day. In the end, he died in the sand dune!”
“In other words, the person buried in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the first emperor’s jade body,” Ye Chen smiled lightly.
When he first saw the Corpse King, he thought that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Shaanxi Province was fake.
Unexpectedly, the first emperor had cultivated the Three Pure Ones as an incomparably talented genius, creating an evil body.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but ask, “Did the first emperor, the nine schools, and the remaining survivors of the six kingdoms really obtain the immortal ruins?”
“I’m not sure if it’s an immortal ruins!”
Zi Qingcang shook his head slightly, “However, one thing is certain. The Kunlun Ruins and your cultivation heritage in the mortal world are all related to the so-called immortal ruins.”
“What happened after that?” Ye Chen asked.
“Later on, the immortal ruins were discovered one after another. Even the remnants of the nine schools and the six kingdoms were unable to conceal it!”
Zi Qingcang continued, “The nine schools had no choice but to work together with the survivors of the six kingdoms to create the Kunlun Ruins and migrate their entire schools!
“To prevent the mortal world from threatening our Kunlun Ruins!”
At this point, he seemed to hesitate. In the end, he said, “The nine saints used a great divinity to extract the dragon veins from the secular world. They didn’t even let go of the dragon vein of Kunlun Mountains. Their goal was to cut off the possibility of cultivation in the secular world.”
“Of course, this is only one aspect!”
Zi Qingcang forced a smile, “The most important thing is that the first emperor’s evil body and jade body both belong to the emperor and possess dragon energy. Only the dragon veins can suppress it, and it must be infused by the nine dragons!”
Ye Chen sneered when he heard that.
Now he finally understood why the secular world lacked spiritual energy and had almost no cultivation. It was all because of the nine schools.
Ye Chen asked again, “I’ve heard that there was a great calamity in the Kunlun Ruins that severed the path of a saint. Even saints have vanished. Is that true?”
“Indeed!”
Zi Qingcang said in a deep voice, “As for what kind of calamity it is, I’m not sure either. I only know from a few ancient books that this calamity seems to be related to the great changes in the world.”
“Great changes in the world?” Ye Chen frowned.
“I’ve investigated it before, but with the disappearance of the saints, many ancient books and legacies are gone!”
Zi Qingcang shook his head and said, “However, I speculate that it has something to do with the disappearance of the spiritual opportunity in this world.”
He paused for a moment and explained, “The so-called spiritual opportunity is a necessary item to become a saint. It can only be understood but not explained. Without a spiritual opportunity, mortals cannot become a saint, and even saints would rot.
“And it’s precisely because I don’t have a spiritual opportunity that I’m still stuck at the Quasi-saint Stage, unable to step into the Saint Stage!”
“Also, without any spiritual opportunity, I wouldn’t have dared to fight for the past few hundred years. Once I do, my life force will be consumed.”
His face was filled with bitterness.
Even the Kunlun Ruins called him a saint. In reality, he was only a quasi-saint who had just touched the threshold of a saint.
Ye Chen secretly nodded.
No wonder he had been unwilling to fight him from the very beginning. It was clearly a fight with his life on the line. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would do something like that.
After that, his gaze flickered as he said, “I once heard Ling Xuanzi from the Sword Sect say that the stage above the Emperor Stage is Destiny. So what’s above Destiny? A saint?”
“Above the Emperor Stage is Destiny!”
Zi Qingcang said confidently, “The so-called Destiny is the destiny of a technique and the beginning of the power of heaven and earth. Above the Nirvana Stage is the Aspect Stage. The Aspect Stage is no different from the Destiny Stage.
“And I’m only at the mid Destiny Stage.”
He took a deep breath in, “Be it the Destiny Stage or the Aspect Stage, they can only be called quasi-saints. Only those above them who can completely control the power of heaven and earth are true saints.”
Ye Chen squinted.
He had not come to Purple Cap Mountain in vain this time. He found out many things that Earth did not know, especially the reason why Earth lacked spiritual energy.
A hint of doubt flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes when he thought about that, ‘I wonder if the Great Qin of the Ancient Desolate Realm is related to the Qin dynasty of the secular world? Also, Qianqian, the princess of the Ancient Desolate Realm…’
