A woman born in China is walking through love, war, politics and national loyalty to become a strong empress in the Chinese Yuan dynasty but she has to keep her secret to the world first

This story takes us back in the golden time of China, in Han Dynasty, 漢朝.

Xi Shi, a beautiful fair maiden with her skin smooth like flower petals, cute doe eyes, lips red like cherries, long beautiful slender fingers, thin waist and wide hips. She was so beautiful that the moon would hide behind the clouds. She was kind and delicate, but strong with her sword. She dream was to travel the world. She was the only daughter of general Xi of Han.

The great Emperor Wu of Han fell in love with Xi Shi and wanted to marry her, but the beauty turned down his love. The furious Emperor refused to let of the beauty, forced Xi Shi into an unwilling marriage and made her the Empress of Han.

Xi Shi, a beautiful maiden who made chaos in the empire. Will Xi Shi and the Emperor find love and happiness in this forced marriage?

Lee Cheng Wen was a government official from Country Z. Before the Earth’s catastrophe, his rank had already reached prefecture-city level customs bureau’s head personnel. His age was only 46, a veritable youth among his peers.
Cheng Wen didn’t come from an aristocratic family or married someone influential. He reached his stage by slowly climbing the administrative ladder. Those that didn’t know him thought it was because of his ridiculously good luck, but some knew it was because he was a hero who could rule the world. Of course, this was an exaggeration, but they would all agree that he was definitely a character!
Cheng Wen’s favorite pastime was to read ancient literature, especially books by Lao Zi. He always told his twin that life is like reading a book, cause the books would always teach us how to act, as history tends to repeat itself. However, Cheng Wen was sort of a prude, because he was ethnocentric even in his reading materials. Only ancient Chinese texts had wisdom in them, and those written by other barbaric races didn’t.
Cheng Wen’s son, Li Jing, had always argued with him about this point, especially bringing up the Han Dynasty’s downfall around the seventeenth century. Other people’s cultures weren’t as bad as Cheng Wen made it out to be.
Cheng Wen would go silent every time he was faced with this argument; therefore, Li Jing stopped bringing it up, thinking it might have offended his father somehow.
Deep within Cheng Wen’s heart was a seed of sorrow. He was brought up by his grandfather, who was a famous private school teacher during the period prior to the Red Revolution. Therefore, he was taught a lot of classical thoughts. Cheng Wen was a natural learner; he had always managed to thwart his grandfather in class. His grandfather used to say that if he was born 500 years earlier, he would be someone like Zhu Ge Liang, or at least a learned man like Xun Yu [1].
Cheng Wen had mastered the Han’s antiquated thoughts before he reached age thirty, and very often, the question of why the Han Dynasty had gone into downfall would come up in his mind.
This was a big question pondered upon by many men from Country Z, the Qing Dynasty, and New Country Z. Why was it? Why would such a glorious dynasty face downfall when mankind was entering the modern era?
Cheng Wen thought that the Han Dynasty didn’t start to face its own downfall near the modern era but rather during the Tang Dynasty.
The fall of the Han Dynasty was definitely not because, as many charlatans had said, of Confucianism. While it was true that there was no cultural explosion after the unification of Confucianism like there was during the Warring Kingdoms era, Confucianism too had been changing ever since its conceptualization.
What is Confucianism?
Human need is Confucianism!
Confucianism changes according to human needs. This was a philosophy most suitable for human society's development because it was the most inclusive and deep philosophy there was. As long as the society needed it, it could change to fit the agenda of the day. Therefore, it wasn’t Confucianism itself that killed Han Dynasty, the real killer had used Confucianism as a prop to achieve its own goal.
Then who was the real killer?
Cheng Wen thought it was conceitedness from assuming oneself was the best.
Ever since the Tang Dynasty and the Song, Ming, and Guang Dynasties following it, Han culture had been unbeatable. Other than the actual Han Dynasty, there was no civilization equal to the level of Han culture. The barbarians couldn’t do it, and the Europeans couldn’t do it either. There was no civilization on Earth that could rival the glory of the Han culture. No matter from which perspective, the best civilization on Earth was definitely the culture of the Hans.
In conclusion, the Han’s pride was not something that could be put into words. Calling itself the Kingdom of Gods was a good try though. Of course, when one was at the top, there were no others to compare to and learn from. This was when the Han Dynasty started to fall, when it started to focus only on itself. Its growth had gone stagnant and the Confucianism holding that was society together stopped changing.
Unlike European countries, which had never been united under the same banner, the internal communication and external communication with the Arabic countries had never stopped…
This self-seclusion could only lead to self-exhaustion. Confucianism couldn’t grow tall but instead had no choice but to grow wide like Li Xue [2] during the Song Dynasty and Xin Xue [3] during the Ming Dynasty. In actuality, this did nothing for Confucianism. Wide growth meant more students, but the philosophy itself remained unchanged. This carried on until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Following the European Renaissance, the other civilizations started to catch up to the Han culture. With the advent of long-distance sailing, the communication between the Hans and the rest of the world began. This communication reached its peak during the end of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, many scholars saw the catalyst needed for improvement in Han culture. This was observable from the beginning of capitalism and scholars of Confucianism realizing the new changes in their studied philosophy.
However, at that time, the biggest threat to the Hans appeared on the scene, the Mans, the Qing Dynasty… had arrived!
In the 300 year period when the European countries were undergoing a metamorphosis, the Hans started to collapse…
The Han culture was completely destroyed during that 300 year period. What remained? Foot-binding? Qipao? What else? Were these the things that defined the glory of Han Dynasty that lasted for thousands of years? How laughable!
After losing the essence of the Han people, in recent years, the people started to turn outwards to look for new cultural inspirations by turning to the west. In reality, ever since the Qing Dynasty, Han culture had completely been unrooted. For example, was the new Z Country really a Han product? No, it was nothing more than an imported good…
Therefore, Cheng Wen realized that the real killer of the Han people was self-reclusion, and this started during the Tang Dynasty…
He fully believed that if given the same resources, the Hans packaged with the thoughts and learning of ancient China would definitely crush the white-skinned people like bugs!
Ever since the beginning of the Hope's government, Cheng Wen was a small level Hope government official worker. He worked tirelessly without complaint. He was a man of few words, but his every word was loaded and to the point. Slowly but surely, his rank started to rise. Thus far, other than people like Yao Yuan, he was the highest ranking Han in the Hope’s government, and also one of the few Hans actually working in the government.
Many Han public officials like himself always complained to him about Yao Yuan’s policies, especially the one about all Chinese people having to start from the bottom rung of the administrative ladder, during meals. How was it that the government, which was in Country Z people’s hands, had all the higher officials be westerners? It was the same thing with the House of Representatives. The speaker was white, 70 percent of the representatives were white, and the rest were Asians from other countries and Africans, only 1 percent was pure-bred Han. Why was that?
These complaints entered Cheng Wen’s ears after he had a small fever. It was a fever that lasted only for several hours. Even though it was during the period when the Homo Evolutis awakening was happening, Cheng Wen’s wife and kids didn’t think it had anything to do with Cheng Wen’s fever, because Cheng Wen’s fever was too short and he was wide awake through the whole process. Only Cheng Wen himself knew that he had become a Homo Evolutis… a Thinker.
This was how Cheng Wen answered those complaining officials.
"…As Lao Zi once said, give in order to take."
The officials were not familiar with antiquated literature, but the phrase itself wasn’t that complicated, so they seemed to have understood a thing or two…
One had to give before one could take… But what exactly was the meaning?
Cheng Wen, who was asked to elaborate, only smiled because he didn’t consider it necessary to do so. Certain things had to be left unsaid. However, according to his recent observations and his understanding of Yao Yuan, the caution the white skins had against Guang Zhen and the small actions taken behind Yao Yuan’s back to undermine his place, from all this he could see…
The plan that had been formed ever since the Hope’s government was created.
Give in order to take…
A few months after the Hope stopped in space, the first batch of corrupted officials, including westerners, Africans, and Asians, were captured. The government asked Cheng Wen to come in to have a talk. They discussed his years of hard work and their wish to commend him. At that point, Cheng Wen knew the plan that had been in planning for 10 years had been initiated!
Give in order to take!
Cheng Wen felt especially kindred to Yao Yuan then, like finding an old friend. He had no clue whether Yao Yuan was familiar Ancient Chinese thinking, but he realized that he was using it to clean up the trash that was plaguing the Hope.
In some way, there was communication without actually communicating…
That night, Cheng Wen got himself blind drunk. The next day, the first ever label of the most honest government worker in the 11 years of the Hope’s government induction was bequeathed onto Cheng Wen. At the same time, he was named the vice minister for the Hope’s ministry of labor and personnel. He was going to take the position of minister until the actual minister returned from being investigated….


Endless sky and infinite space, the cosmos isn’t some paradise waiting to be found, it is full of darkness and danger, death and terror of the great unknown. However, for that glittering swath of blue, we have no fear! For the longevity of men, we have no regrets! Nothing shall stand in our way because it is finally our time, our age! The age of cosmos exploration! 


Han Xiao first returned to Floating Dragon to drop Ames and Aesop back. He then killed Albert and the others without hesitation. On the way to Floating Dragon, he had made a lot of Genetic Medicine from the six of them.
He was not planning to lock the six of them in the Galactic Pirates' Warm Little House because he did not want to take that risk. He was never soft-hearted toward enemies.
After killing the six of them, Han Xiao received a lot of Experience and a few Character Summon Cards.
Albert and the others were very calm toward death; only Eliot was panicking and furious. Nonetheless, none of them revealed the true identity of the mastermind till the end. This did not affect Han Xiao in his decision to kill them, but he was surprised by their loyalty.
Someone that could make a Grade A+ this sincere was definitely terrifying. That someone being a Beyond Grade A was the only possibility. No matter which member of The Ancient Ones the mastermind was, it was not someone he could deal with.
He would definitely become that person's enemy now that he had killed that person's subordinates. Han Xiao had no other choice. The enemy had targeted him, and he could not have not resisted. Thus, it was unavoidable.
The third round of [Prey] had yet to appear. He had no idea how strong the next attack would be. The only good news was that at least Beyond Grade As would not casually go to another Star Field, which meant that he would not have to fight a Beyond Grade A. Nonetheless, he still felt immense pressure.
For that, Aesop personally did a one-time 'fortune-telling' on him. He roughly foresaw that this issue regarding the hunters had come to an end for the moment, and that nothing would happen any time soon. This made Han Xiao feel relieved.
Star Fields were separated by very wide desolate regions. Whether it was traveling across Star Fields or getting information across, they were not easy things to do. Now that Albert and the others had died, the enemy would not be able to get to him shortly.
Han Xiao's position in Floating Dragon had been rising. He was Ames' best assistant, and Aesop had high hopes for him. On the way to Floating Dragon, he told him quite a lot of secrets about The Ancient Ones and helped Han Xiao guess who the mastermind was.
The Ancient Ones were not united; every member had their ambitions. The reason they had formed an organization was to fuse the members' influence into one and obtain a superior position in the universe, benefiting all the members. They rarely did anything using The Ancient Ones' name.
Aesop felt that the master of Albert and the others was just one member of The Ancient Ones. At least that was much better than the entire The Ancient Ones.
After killing Albert and the others, the matter had come to an end. Han Xiao took Lagi back to the Base No.1 in the Garton Star System.
Lagi was the only Grade A officer in the Black Star Army. Han Xiao introduced him to the other officers and let everyone know that there was a newcomer. Lagi had just escaped from imprisonment and was still rather isolated. He did not communicate with the others and went to familiarize himself with the environment. Han Xiao did not give Lagi any jobs yet.
With his Grade A strength, he was more than qualified to be the deputy captain. However, Lagi had just joined, and Han Xiao felt that he needed to know more about him more before giving him any important positions.
The secret war between Klent and Purple Crystal would not start any time soon, so Han Xiao could not increase his relationship with Purple Crystal even if he wanted to. There was nothing urgent to do, so he was quite free.
During the time he went out to look for trouble, there happened to be one huge matter that had attracted the attention of the players.
Pro League Season Two was about to start!
Some players uploaded the video of a scrimmage between tens of Calamity Grades, showcasing the Black Star Networking Group's ability. Bun-Hit-Dog's new video also mentioned information about the next version, which was related to the Crimson Dynasty as Han Xiao had said. These posts all got Han Xiao some attention. However, compared to the popularity of the Pro League, everything else was pushed side. Even he could not compete with the Pro League for popularity.
It was already the late stage of Version 2.0. Galaxy's players had been steadily increasing through the version. Although it had not reached the explosive increase stage, there were already many players.
The first season was quite successful. There were now many people paying attention to the second season. Galaxy Times had been talking about the Pro League for a few consecutive episodes, heating things up.
Han Xiao returned to his room, took out a bottle of 'Handsome and Happy' water and gulped it down. He then opened the latest Galaxy Times episode. This was the last episode before the start of the Pro League. It was their last effort to add more wood to the flames of this huge event.
The two hosts showed off their ability to make cold jokes before talking about the main focus of the episode, emphasizing on the rules of the second season of the Pro League.
Version 2.0 added a few novice planets. However, most players had already left their novice planets and entered space. Hence, the divisions were adjusted and were no longer based on novice planets. The divisions were now based on Star Fields that had novice planets in them. As some novice planets were in the same Star Field, they were combined into the same division.
There had been thirteen divisions in the previous season, but now there were nine. This meant that the teams of some countries would meet before the main event. Strong teams would face off against each other to qualify for the next stage. Even though more teams were allowed to advance this season, the competition would still be more intense.
The locations for the divisions were no longer on novice planets but a few nearby unpopulated planets in every division. The entire planet would be the venue. As the players had already entered the galaxy, they would definitely be able to come to the venue.
The format did not change much; it was still Singles and Groups.
There had only been three types of battles in the previous season—Duel, Groups, and Singles. One more was added this season—Survival. As the name suggested, it was about surviving. This would appear both in the point-based Division Regulars and the International Regulars. There would also be two types of Survival matches, one for teams and one for single players.
According to the Galaxy Times's introduction, the Team Survival was a battle between four teams. The only winner would be awarded a lot of points, the second and third would be awarded a certain number of points, and the last would not get any points. The Singles Survival would be a brawl between sixteen Singles players.
As for the schedule, the first stage was still the Division Qualifiers and Division Secondary League. All players would be able to register for the Division Qualifiers. The Division Secondary League was a jumping board for the second-tier teams of some clubs. The top forty teams and sixty-four Singles players would enter the Pre Season to warm up, followed by the Divisions Regulars.
The Divisions Regulars was point-based. The top eight teams and sixteen players would enter the Division Finals. After the Divisions Regulars, the ones at the top of the scoreboard would take part in the entertainment-oriented International All-Stars.
The Divisions Finals used the best of five format to determine first place and the runner up. As there were fewer divisions this season, the top four teams and eight Singles players would all be able to enter the International Regulars.
This time, the gap between the Internationals and the Divisions was hugely reduced; the schedule would be much tighter than the previous season.
The Internationals was also point-based. The most elite players from the various divisions would fight to determine the top eight teams and sixteen Singles players who would enter the International Finals, where the world champions would be determined.
Han Xiao looked at the forums' videos and nodded in approval.
The format was the same as in his previous life; the difference was the people taking part in it.
The show then heavily focused on introducing players with potential in China. When the time for the interviews came, the captains of the four biggest clubs in China were invited. Frenzied Sword, who had finished among the top in the International Singles in the previous season, was also invited.
The two hosts asked them a few questions and chatted. The atmosphere was light and relaxed.
For the last question, the two hosts asked every team about their goal this season and what they expected. The answers these people gave made the Chinese viewers feel excited.
Dynasty's King Admiral smiled lazily and said, "Dynasty only has one target this season, to win every single battle. We're going to be the Division champion and the world champion!"
Temple of God's Li Ge sounded very formal. "We will do our best to win every match and make use of all our strength. We hope to achieve enough in the Internationals to not disappoint the supporters of Temple of God."
Fried Eggplants with Fish's Sun Eggplant said with an expressionless face, "In the last season, we regrettably could not qualify for the Internationals. This season, we're going to fight to become the last winner."
Long Sky's Hao Tian sat up straight and said with a very serious tone, "Our only target is the world champion!"
The four biggest clubs all confidently announced that they were going for the championship; this made the Chinese players all very excited.
In the last season, Dynasty had been the first runner up. Although it was not bad, the Chinese players were still quite sad that they did not win.
They were close to the top, so they were more determined to reach it. The words of these four clubs were very morale-boosting.
"Four teams will be able to qualify in the Internationals. If all four of our clubs enter the top four and the Internationals, that would be really fun."
"Hehehe, that might not be certain. Although they are all very strong, the other tier-one teams are not bad either. Rainy Kim's Thunder Storm and Yan Ran's Berserkers are not easy to deal with. Nine Gates, Sky Palace, and Dragons and Tigers are all very competitive, too."
"I have high hopes for Rivervale. Frenzied Sword was top sixteen in the International Singles last season. Rivervale have rebuilt their team with him as the core. They might be a dark horse."
Many viewers discussed their thoughts in the comments.
Frenzied Sword was not as confident as the other captains on the show. He said that this was his first time leading a team and that he would do his best to enter the Internationals. He did not dare announce that they would be champions.
The clubs of other countries were all quite pressured. Planet Aquamarine was the base of the Chinese players, and they had entered space more than a year earlier than the others. This had resulted in the average strength of the Chinese teams being very high. All of them were strong teams that were not easy to deal with. Even the champions of the previous season, the French team, did not underestimate them and said that they would do their best to become back to back champions.
Han Xiao was looking forward to seeing what place China would be able to achieve under his influence.
In the Pro League's second season in his previous life, Dynasty had gotten third place in the Internationals and Temple of God had finished in the top eight. This time, China's overall strength was clearly superior. It was not just their equipment, abilities, and experience, but also the fact that the pro players had taken part in galactic-level battles long ago. Their skills were honed as well.
The second season of the Pro League is an important stage. The first season was just a test. A lot more effort has been put into promoting the second season; it's many times more influential than the first season. It will directly cause a huge number of new players to enter during Version 3.0. The better the results the Chinese teams achieve, the more exposure they will get, which will also be beneficial to my faction.
Currently, the roughly one million players in the Black Star Army had all been players from the earliest releases. There would be more newcomers joining in in the future.
The tons of new players in Version 3.0 were a second opportunity to expand the size of the army. Without the advantage of being the guiding faction, he had to compete with the many factions in Version 3.0. The Pro League would be a way for him to increase his faction's attractiveness.
Other than these long-term benefits, every Pro League was a business opportunity.
The players earned money to turn it into their strength. During the Pro League, the players' demand for equipment would explosively increase. The Genetic Medicines in his warehouse would sell very well. He was only worried about not having enough stock.
Pro League stimulated the players' need to spend. The players were happy to empty their wallets. This was a chance to make a huge fortune.
A few unpopulated planets in the Garton Star System made up the competition venue. Han Xiao planned to gather a fleet to sell equipment at the venue. Whether it was to repair equipment, buy items, or learn abilities, the players would be able to spend on the spot. It would be amazing for them.
Anyway, whether it was amazing for the players or not, it was amazing for Han Xiao.
The Pro League is going to start in ten days. Time to go.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.

What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide? 
Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life's knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

Chapter 875 – Super Celebrity is Born

 With Ouyang Shuo's ability to know the future, he wanted to create a terrifying entertainment holdings that was worth tens of millions. As long as he did not make mistakes, Song Jia would not be far from the goal of entertainment empress.

 Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Let's not be too bad. We can open up some of our movies for investment. Toward the actors and directors, we can also consider splitting the box office sales with them."

 Even in the game, shooting movies used up a lot of money. It would be tough for them to swallow the entire cake if they solely relied on their current funds.

 "I understand." Song Jia nodded.
 ...
 At noon, Bing'er returned from school, and they had a reunion dinner. Bing'er was now a princess, and her teacher had been changed. It was no longer an ordinary person anymore.

 Ouyang Shuo suggested for Confucius to take her as a disciple, and she would be his only female disciple. This change also showed that within the Confucianism school of thought, an ideological change was slowly occurring.

 The Confucians personally led by Confucius were shedding away their stubborn and decayed coats and were being revitalized. It seemed like it would be difficult for Neo-Confucianism to take a footing in the Confucianism school of thought.

 There was still a matter that Ouyang Shuo found regretful. Even with Confucius agreeing to replace Jiang Shang as the principal, the system did not recognize the Confucianism school of thought as having moved into the Great Xia Dynasty. There probably was a hidden requirement.

 Apart from Confucius, Bing'er also had professionals teaching her instruments, chess, books, and drawing. Each one was a giant within the Xinan University. With such a lineup, it was even better than what some ancient emperors received.

 The king's love for the princess was evident.

 Furthermore, the princess was really smart and cute, so she was doted on by everyone. The five teachers often bickered about her schedule and tried to extend the time.

 Under such a thick education environment, Bing'er was slowly growing up, making Ouyang Shuo feel really happy.
 ...
 After a short rest at noon, at 2 PM, Ouyang Shuo appeared in the Imperial Reading Room. Within the bright room, Tsing Yi had arrived a little earlier. She had placed a thick stack of memorials on his desk.

 Ouyang Shuo guessed that she had been hard at work right away after she got back.

 After working together for a period of time, reality proved that Tsing Yi was really exceptional. Her title of a female Zhuge was really true. On many of the memorials, she could come up with ideas that would surprise Ouyang Shuo, saving him a lot of effort.

 Tsing Yi was slowly becoming Ouyang Shuo's biggest helper.

 After Ouyang Shuo sat down, he did not rush to review the memorials. On this return to Shanhai City, there were three people who he had to meet. These three were all historical people that moved over after the country was established.

 The first one was a lady. She was an absolute beauty and one of the four beauties of China, Wang Zhaojun.

 During the first year of Han Emperor, Jian Zhao's reign, she was chosen to enter the palace as a court lady. Five years later, the Xiongnu leader Hu Hanya came over to choose his concubine and Wang Zhaojun was chosen.

 The two of them spent three years together, and she gave birth to a son for him.

 During the second year of Jianshi, Hu Hanya died. Zhaojun requested for the Imperial Court to return and give his son the title of Xiongnu ruler.

 After she passed away, she was buried in Inner Mongolia. Her tomb was close to the Daqing Mountains and Yellow River, and descendants called it Qing Home.

 Speaking of Wang Zhaojun, one would think about her marriage. To the country, such an act brought about peace. However, to her, it was a totally tragedy.

 As a result, Ouyang Shuo was really annoyed at marriages used to form relationships. Only the weak people and counties would sacrifice women to protect the so-called peace.

 Wang Zhaojun did not come to Shanhai City first. Instead, she went to Zhen An Prefecture to look for Mulan Yue. Mulan Yue had the specialty of attracting female historical people. As such, even if she were not the Lord, people would still go to her.

 Wang Zhaojun stayed in her manor for a period of time before coming to the imperial city. Mulan Yue knew that Ouyang Shuo had a B rank questline - Four Ancient Beauties, which was waiting to be completed.

 "I am Zhaojun, greetings king!" After Wang Zhaojun entered, she bowed. Her eyes were glowing and eye-catching. In her eyes, there was curiosity, judging, but no fear.

 In history, Wang Zhaojun had seen such situations many times, so she naturally would not be afraid.

 The Wang Zhaojun that appeared in the wilderness was just a young lady. Her white skin was like that of jade. This was probably how she looked like before she got married, and she definitely had the ability to make cities and empires fall.

 Legends had it that when she said goodbye to her land, the sounds of horse neighing and the golden sand all around her made her really emotional, and she played Pipayuan on the horse.

 Her exceptional instrument playing and beautiful looks caused the birds in the air to forget how to fly as they all dropped onto the sand.

 Hence, one could understand just how beautiful she was.

 When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he could not help but be stunned. Such an absolute beauty was truly hard to meet.

 "Please rise!"

 Ouyang Shuo instantly regained his senses and took a look at her stats.

 Name: Wang Zhaojun
 Title: One of the Four Ancient China Beauties
 Dynasty: West Han 
 Identity: Great Xia Dynasty Civilian
 Occupation: Imperial Court pipa player 
 Loyalty: 70
 Bone structure: 18
 Comprehension: 15
 Charm: 22
 Luck: 12
 Specialty: Melody (raises territory artistic cultivation by 15%, raises music standards by 10%, raises territory fame by 10%)
 Evaluation: a court lady of the West Han emperor, elegant and beautiful.

 The four beauties each had something they were proficient at, and they were all exceptional people.

 At this very moment, a System Notification sounded out in his ear.

 "System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi. Within three years, player has obtained the ancient China beauties Xu Shi, Diaochan, and Wang Zhaojun, completing B rank quest. Specially awarding Shanhai City the title of Capital of Charm, awarding player with 8 charm points."

 Ouyang Shuo let out a huge sigh of relief; this was the longest scenario quest he had completed. Since it was triggered when Fan Li and Xi Shi moved over, one and a half years had passed.

 As for whether the last of the four beauties, Yang Yuhuan, would come to Shanhai City or not, it was all up to fate.

 Capital of Charm: raises charm of Capital City by 35%, attraction to talent increased by 10%, cultural aura in the Capital City increased by 15%, entertainment atmosphere of the Capital City increased by 20%.

 Although the quest was difficult, the title given was pretty average. As for the 8 charm points, it was an added surprise.

 With that, Ouyang Shuo's four innate stats did not have a weak point anymore.

 Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about where to place her. Different from Xi Shi and Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun was still single.

 Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was not thinking about anything funny, and he had no intentions of having a relationship with an NPC.

 Even so, Ouyang Shuo was not willing to allow such an exceptional person spend her life at home; that was just too boring. She needed to find something for her to do.

 Thinking back to the movies Song Jia and him were talking about, a lightbulb lit up in his head. What if he made Wang Zhaojun into a super celebrity?

 First, she was pretty. Even a global superstar like Wu Qingcheng was not as good looking as her.

 That alone made her suitable to being a superstar.

 Secondly, as one of the Four Ancient Beauties of China, she had her own fans and did not need the holdings to promote her.

 One must know that if she stepped into the film circle, there would definitely be many crazy fanboys and fangirls.

 This was something rookies could not replicate; it was her innate advantage.

 Thirdly, although she was an NPC, in such an open world, virtual idols were not a new thing and players accepted that.

 Many nerds were far more interested in virtual idols than real life ones. If not, how could Huo Qubing have such fame in China?

 Hence, to model her into a super celebrity was a great idea.

 Fourthly, she was really talented. Not mentioning others, but just the pipa songs that she sang were something that modern day people could not replicate.

 As long as the Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings ran it well and let her debut as a singer and slowly expand toward film, she would definitely be able to get famous.

 The entertainment holdings had many composers that could make ancient type songs for her. Moreover, there were performance teachers, dance teachers, and the like.

 Apart from that, there was also an exceptional dancer like Diao Chan.

 Hence, Wang Zhaojun working with them was like two giants joining arms, and they would definitely create a shocking effect.

 Just thinking about it made one excited.

 In such a short while, Ouyang Shuo had contemplated the idea several times and felt that it was truly feasible.

 What about Wang Zhaojun?

 As a young girl, no matter how many things she had been through, being stared at by the king like that made her face turn red. She lowered her head, and her heart was filled with unease. Wang Zhaojun was thinking about whether the king had fallen for her.

 'Should she reject it then or just accept it?' She hesitated in her heart. 


Earth Online – a virtual MMORPG that takes place in the future year of 2190 – a game that everyone will bet their futures on. Set in a map that is ten times the size of real-world Earth, players battle for supremacy in the first game to feature personal adventure, territory construction, and grand warfare.

China (Chinese: 中国; pinyin: Zhōngguó; literally: 'Central State' or 'Middle Kingdom'), officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.428 billion in 2017.[12][13] Covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the third or fourth largest country by total area.[j][19] Governed by the Communist Party of China, the state exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces[k], five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau.

China emerged as one of the world's first civilizations, in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. For millennia, China's political system was based on hereditary monarchies, or dynasties, beginning with the semi-mythical Xia dynasty in 21st century BCE.[20] Since then, China has expanded, fractured, and re-unified numerous times. In the 3rd century BCE, the Qin reunited core China and established the first Chinese empire. The succeeding Han dynasty, which ruled from 206 BCE until 220 CE, saw some of the most advanced technology at that time, including papermaking and the compass,[21] along with agricultural and medical improvements. The invention of gunpowder and movable type in the Tang dynasty (618–907) and Northern Song (960–1127) completed the Four Great Inventions. Tang culture spread widely in Asia, as the new Silk Route brought traders to as far as Mesopotamia and the Horn of Africa.[22] Dynastic rule ended in 1912 with the Xinhai Revolution, when the Republic of China (ROC) replaced the Qing dynasty. China as a whole was ravaged by feudal warlordism and Japan during World War II. The subsequent Chinese Civil War resulted in a division of territory in 1949, when the Communist Party of China led by Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China on mainland China, while the Kuomintang-led nationalist government retreated to the island of Taiwan, where it continues to govern the Republic of China. The political status of Taiwan remains disputed to this day.

China is a unitary one-party socialist republic and is one of the few remaining Communist states. Political dissidents and human rights groups have denounced and criticized the Chinese government for human rights abuses, suppression of religious and ethnic minorities,[23][24][25] censorship and mass surveillance, and cracking down on protests such as in 1989.[26][27][28] The Chinese government says that the right to subsistence and economic development is a prerequisite to other types of human rights, and that the notion of human rights should take into account a country's present economic level.[29]

Since the introduction of economic reforms in 1978, China's economy has been one of the world's fastest-growing with annual growth rates consistently above 6 percent.[30] According to the World Bank, China's GDP grew from $150 billion in 1978 to $12.24 trillion by 2017.[31] According to official data, China's GDP in 2018 was 90 trillion Yuan ($13.28 trillion).[32] Since 2010, China has been the world's second-largest economy by nominal GDP,[33] and since 2014, the largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity.[34] China is also the world's largest exporter and second-largest importer of goods.[35] China is a recognized nuclear weapons state and has the world's largest standing army, the People's Liberation Army, and second-largest defense budget.[36][37] The PRC is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council as it replaced the ROC in 1971, as well as an active global partner of ASEAN Plus mechanism. China is also a leading member of numerous formal and informal multilateral organizations, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), WTO, APEC, BRICS, the BCIM, and the G20. China is one of the world's most technologically advanced nations and is home to some of the world's largest tech giants such as Huawei, Tencent, and Alibaba.[38][39] Since 2019, China has the highest number of rich people in the world.[40] China has been characterized as a potential superpower, mainly because of its massive population, economy, and military.[41][42][43]

Names

The word "China" has been used in English since the 16th century. It is not a word used by the Chinese themselves. It has been traced through Portuguese, Malay, and Persian back to the Sanskrit word Cīna, used in ancient India.[45]

"China" appears in Richard Eden's 1555 translation[l] of the 1516 journal of the Portuguese explorer Duarte Barbosa.[m][45] Barbosa's usage was derived from Persian Chīn (چین), which was in turn derived from Sanskrit Cīna (चीन).[50] Cīna was first used in early Hindu scripture, including the Mahābhārata (5th century bce) and the Laws of Manu (2nd century bce).[51] In 1655, Martino Martini suggested that the word China is derived ultimately from the name of the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE).[52] Although this derivation is still given in various sources,[53] it is complicated by the fact that the Sanskrit word appears in pre-Qin literature. The word may have originally referred to a state such as Yelang. Later, the meaning transferred to China as a whole.[51][54] The origin of the Sanskrit word is still a matter of debate, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.[45]

The official name of the modern state is the "People's Republic of China" (Chinese: 中华人民共和国; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó). The shorter form is "China" Zhōngguó (中国), from zhōng ("central") and guó ("state"),[n] a term which developed under the Western Zhou dynasty in reference to its royal demesne.[o] It was then applied to the area around Luoyi (present-day Luoyang) during the Eastern Zhou and then to China's Central Plain before being used as an occasional synonym for the state under the Qing.[56] It was often used as a cultural concept to distinguish the Huaxia people from perceived "barbarians".[56] The name Zhongguo is also translated as "Middle Kingdom" in English.[58]

Chapter 13: Millennium Evolution

In order to get that ancient book, half of Li Mingshan’s body was inside the vault. At this time, Li Mingshan clenched his teeth and rapidly dove into the vault, which was as tall as half the height of a normal person. The steel door then immediately closed. It took less than half a second to leap into the vault as well as the closing of the steel door. Obviously, Li Mingshan had practiced this move many times.
“Whew, whew.”
After hiding in a secret room that was only two or three square meters big, Li Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, I had made preparations earlier. Huh, he wanted me to believe that he wouldn’t kill me?” Li Mingshan sneered.
Li Mingshan had calculated a counter if someone ever wanted to kill him. In this secret room, there was a credit card and many items that could attract the hitman, while he himself could escape into the vault.
No matter when, Li Mingshan only believed in himself.
Due to such perfect preparation, Li Mingshan had never lost his power for twenty years.
“Weng…..” All of a sudden, the five-centimeter thick steel door actually flew towards Li Mingshan .
That thick door could not be penetrated by anything, even a gun. If Teng Qingshan wanted to use brute force to hit through the door, he would have had to hit it with the fiercest “Tiger Fist”. However, he did not do that, because shattering the latch was too easy for him.
A figure dashed into the secret room.
“Brother, you….” Li Mingshan was about to speak.
“Poof.” A very soft sound rang out and a bloody hole appeared in Li Mingshan’s temple.
Li Mingshan stood motionlessly as he stared forward with round eyes, which were filled with bitterness.
Without even casting a glance at him, Teng Qingshan turned around and left silently.
***
In the living room of the house which Teng Qingshan had rented.
“I don’t know what this ‘Millennium Chronicle’ book talks about, but Liu Yan is indeed a great Grandmaster from the period of the Republic of China, this is something I know.” Teng Qingshan was very curious. As a practitioner of Internal Martial Arts, he surely had knowledge of some of the famous people in history.
Liu Yan, nicknamed ‘Willow Monkey God’, was a rare great Grandmaster of the ‘Monkey Sect’. At that period of time, Liu Yan had the same position as “Tiger-headed Guardian“ Sun Lutang…
Since this book was written by Liu Yan, Teng Qingshan naturally had the motivation to peruse it.
Teng Qingshan opened ‘Millennium Chronicle’ and found that all the words were written in traditional Chinese characters, which wasn’t surprising because many ancient books were written in the traditional Chinese lexicon. As Teng Qingshan was Teng Bolei’s disciple, and since Teng Bolei had lived abroad and knew the traditional Chinese lexicon, he naturally taught Teng Qingshan how to read and write traditional Chinese characters as well. Therefore, Teng Qingshan could now read this book with great ease.
“I really didn’t know that Willow Monkey God was actually a part of the Thief God Sect.”
Teng Qingshan hurriedly skipped through the pages, because the beginning of this book was mostly talking about the history of the Thief God Sect. After reading around one-third of the book, Teng Qingshan stopped when he saw a chapter titled “The Millennium Evolution of Martial Arts.”
The beginning of the chapter read, “Scrutinizing the historical records of our Thief God Sect and the historical accounts of Martial Arts, I realized that from the past till now, there has been an increasingly smaller number of people reaching the Grandmaster Realm while it has also become more and more difficult.”
When Teng Qingshan saw at this sentence, he could not help but nod. “Also, even though all sects claim that the history of Internal Martial Arts has existed for more than a thousand years. The fact is that, the most long-standing Internal Martial Art, ‘Tai Chi’, which was created by 'Zhang Sanfeng’ of the Wudang sect during the Ming dynasty, has not existed for a thousand years. In the five-thousand-year history of China, Internal Martial Arts only appeared a thousand years ago. Thus, what about the few thousand years before that?”
Teng Qingshan read these words and felt sympathetic.
Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Warring States Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms Dynasty, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties…
In all these dynasties, did people only rely on brute force in battles?
Teng Qingshan did not believe it.
For example, revolutionary generals in the Sui and Tang dynasties were able to use their hands to wave heavy lion-shaped stone statues that were about a thousand Jin. Waving the lion-shaped stone statues and lifting them were two different concepts. It was just like how a normal person could lift a one hundred Jin pack of package, but if he had to hold a ten Jin dumbbell and swing it randomly, he would feel difficulties in doing so.
(TL:1 Jin = 0.5kg)
To swing a lion stone statue whose weight was one thousand Jin, you must at least have the strength to lift ten thousand Jin.
Even Teng Qingshan needed to use all of his energy to wave that kind of lion-shaped stone statute, moreover, it would be impossible for him to maintain this physical strength for a long time in battle.
In the Three Kingdoms Dynasty, some of the fierce warriors would depend on their own strength, charging into the midst of millions of enemy soldiers and killing the enemy’s leader. That was so incredible! The strength of a person was limited, so how would it be possible to ignore a powerful army of millions of soldiers?
“That’s right. The history of Internal Martial Arts started about a thousand years ago, but what about the few thousand years before Internal Martial Arts began?” Teng Qingshan also felt puzzled by this so he continued to read.
“It took me more than ten years to collect this information. Finally, I have a clear conclusion in my mind.”
“My conclusion is, from the Sui and Tang dynasty, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth began decreasing dramatically!”
Reading until this point, thousands of questions popped into Teng Qingshan’s mind.
“Based on the massive amount of information that I have discovered, at the time of the Spring and Autumn War Dynasty, as well as the Qin and Han Dynasty, there was nothing called Internal Martial Arts. The experts during that time were absorbing the Essence of Heaven and Earth, which is Spiritual Qi. They were ‘Training Vitality into Qi’, which caused their bodies to produce inner strength. By practicing, their inner strength would grow stronger and stronger, opening up every meridian until post culmination was achieved.
“The experts that had achieved postnatal culmination possessed boundless inner strength and were extremely powerful.
“When the mysterious channels in their brain opened, they would begin ‘Training Qi into Spirit.’ They would amalgamate the ‘Spirit’ with the inner strength and refine them in the Dantian. After that, it would gradually be transformed into the Innate True Origin, allowing the expert to become an innate expert.”
“An innate expert continually refines his or her True Origin. After the True Origin goes through ceaseless refinement in the Dantian until the first phase, ‘Hollow Dan’ realm would be attained. When the True Origin condensed into solidity, the second phase of ‘True Dan’ realm would be achieved. This True Dan would have to go through countless refinements, before reaching the third phase, ‘Golden Dan’ realm. The Golden Dan Innate Expert would be the expert of the experts! They possessed incredible power. In legends passed down from ancient times, the one who charged into the midst of the millions of soldiers alone, and the one who fought against an army of millions of soldiers by himself were all experts who had reached the Innate Realm.”
As Teng Qingshan read these words, he felt incredible!
How would it be possible?
Innate, acquired?
The combination of the 'Spirit’ of human and inner strength’ could actually transform into the ‘Innate True Origin.’
The Innate Realm was actually classified into three different phases, ‘Hollow Dan‘, ‘True Dan’ and ‘Golden Dan.’
“During the ancient times, the ‘The Way of the Golden Dan’ must be referring to that. When stepping into the ‘Way of the Golden Dan,’ then that must truly be reaching the pinnacle.”
Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.
This could be the only explanation. Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why some of the famous figures in history, such as ‘Maiden Yue,’ ‘Xi Yang’, and other Grandmasters were so powerful. Also, there were a lot of records which referred to the ancient practitioners during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Period as ‘Qi Refiners’.
Perhaps they were called that because they refined the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Teng Qingshan continued reading.
“But starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly dropped sharply.’’
“Therefore, the many warriors and heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasty should be considered the last batch of Grandmasters. The likes of Li Yuan Ba, Qin Qiong and the others must have reached the Innate Realm to be able to wave thousand Jin huge objects without feeling tired.” What was written in the book struck a responsive chord in Teng Qingshan’s heart.
Teng Qingshan himself had already reached the pinnacle of the human world, yet holding a tiger-shaped stone statue in each of his hands, and then waving these thousands Jin objects while fighting a prolonged battle would be impossible for Teng Qingshan.
“Also, based on the records of many sects from the Sui and Tang Dynasties and later, the numbers of experts became increasingly lessened. In the end, not even a single innate expert appeared again. After the beginning of the Song Dynasty, even absorbing the Spiritual Qi and refining it into inner strength became almost impossible.’’
As Teng Qingshan read, his heart sighed.
At first, no one was able to attain the Innate Realm again, and later, no one was able to practice it anymore.
“The smaller the number of experts, the weaker the Song Dynasty became. Since the pathway of absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to train one’s inner strength was obstructed, the people of Song dynasty would obviously think of another way.
Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.
“In ancient times, only uncultured people trained their physical strength, because to depend on training the physical strength to generate inner strength was almost impossible. ‘Practicing from the outward to the inward’ was too difficult.
“However, when purely absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was unable to generate the inner strength, generations of talented people committed themselves into researching a solution. Over time, gradually there were people who depended on standing on stumps and other techniques to generate inner strength. For example, in history, ‘Yue Fei,’ the warrior of the Song Dynasty during ancient times, was a warrior that practiced and generated inner strength.
“But in the Song Dynasty, the Internal Martial Arts was barely in embryonic form. Only a very few lucky men managed to generate inner strength while opening up the meridians all over their bodies, reaching the Grandmaster Realm was absolutely impossible.
“After passing through the short period of the Yuan dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect should be the first person to practice Internal Martial Arts, and reach its pinnacle. He opened up all the meridians of his body and enhanced the strength of his muscles, skin, flesh, and bones, to their maximum. Also, starting from this period, the system of Internal Martial Arts was finally perfected. Then, Tai Chi, Xing Yi Martial Arts, Eight Trigram Palm…… and many other types of martial arts began to appear one by one.”
Teng Qingshan read from the beginning to the end and felt extremely sad.
He could only sigh and make an emotional remark.
The ability of people to adapt to their surroundings was very strong indeed.
In ancient times, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was abundant, and people learned to absorb the Spiritual Qi and train until inner strength was generated. They even trained until the Innate True Origin was produced.
However, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth decreased drastically. What could humans do?
After exploring for several hundred years, and through the efforts of an unknown number of talented people, wasting their youth and time, Internal Martial Arts gradually came into existence!
Until this modern period, the system of Internal Martial Arts had been improved and perfected to the point that there were the Godly Tiger Form Technique, Boulder of the Black Tortoise and Dragoncarp Ascension came into existence, the special skills which could only be practiced by Grandmasters.
During the period of the Spring and Autumn War Dynasty and the Qin and Han Dynasties, the people at that time could really attain such a level by practicing from the external to the internal?
“Actually, this process of refining was the process of the ‘Transformation of Vitality into Qi’ and ‘Transformation of Qi into Spirit’. In ancient times, the ‘Vitality’ in the ‘Transformation of Vitality into Qi’ referred to the essence of the world, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. But now, this ‘Vitality’ referred to the energy and blood of the human body!”
Liu Yan mentioned in the book: ”Due to being unable to absorb energy from the surroundings, we could only absorb the essence in the human body. Thus, the experts practicing Internal Martial Arts were mostly very large eaters. Eating half a lamb in a single meal was really normal. Since they had to refine a massive amount of essence from blood, they obviously had to eat a lot more.”
Teng Qingshan nodded to himself.
Indeed, he himself was a really large eater.
In order to practice Internal Martial Arts, you need to have a strong body as well as adequate levels of energy and blood. Only when the essence and blood reached a certain extent, would one be able to gradually refine it into inner strength.


With five strikes of his axe, Emperor Yu split the mountains and unified everyone beneath the heavens. He partitioned the land into nine prefectures and erected the nine cauldrons. After Emperor Yu's death, incessant disputes arose within the Land of the Nine Prefectures. 

One thousand years later, a once-in-a-generation genius—the Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains—emerged from out of nowhere. With a strike of his palm, he was able to stop the motion of the 100-meter wide Yan River. With his peerless martial prowess, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains was ultimately able to unite the land beneath the heavens. However, when he died, chaos once again shrouded the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Several thousand years passed by, and still, no one was able to consolidate the nation.
 
Then the Grandmaster of the Xing Yi Martial Art—Teng Qingshan—arrived here unexpectedly from the modern world.

"What should we do? The Undead Disaster has already reached the seventh region, and you should know just how terrifying it is by now. No creatures were left alive, and not even the grass remains. We must stop this!"
Countless factions were discussing how to deal with the Undead Disaster. It was now becoming larger and larger, and it was advancing faster and faster.
Originally, it took it eight days to go through a region, but now, it only took four days. If this went on, the Undead Disaster would progress faster and faster.
Moreover, the Undead Disaster currently only had one wave. If its numbers expanded to the point that it could split into multiple waves, it would be able to instantly drag the northern side into an abyss of despair.
Once the northern side fell, next would be all of China. Great Qin's Legatee was simply too ambitious and viewed lives as grass. As such, the factions were determined to join together to do something about it.
All of the factions understood this and contacted each other. They had to stop Great Qin right now and couldn't hesitate, or else they would have no chance at stopping the Undead Disaster in the future.
Many people could tell Great Qin's Legatee's true goal, which was to have the Undead Disaster sweep across the world and wipe away all obstacles for Great Qin. That would allow it to restore its nation and reign above the rest of the world.
Of course, these factions wouldn't allow Great Qin to step on their corpses to take its throne, so many Dynasty Legatees started to step out.
Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Jin…
All of the Dynasties no longer hid away, and they instead publicly announced that they were going to put an end to Great Qin's plans and its ruthless massacre. Of course, they had to stand on the side of justice and pledge to stop this disaster.
This made countless Chinese people feel favorable towards them, and they greatly supported these Legatees, hoping that they would be able to stop Great Qin, which had destroyed the peace of this world. They were filled with anger towards Great Qin and rejoiced that someone had finally stepped out to stop Great Qin.
Now, Great Qin had become a synonym for evil to countless Chinese people, and it seemed incredibly bloodthirsty. After all, back then, Great Qin had killed and hung up countless bodies in that forest as a warning to the rest of the world.
Many people had reacted in fury, feeling that hanging up so many bodies was simply too cruel and inhumane. Moreover, those people had surrendered and were players just like Great Qin's Legatee.
Some people thought that the Heaven Awaken World was just a game, and because they only saw the indigenous residents, Outlanders, and beasts as NPCs, they didn't care much.
However, seeing that many players like them had surrendered and been treated like that, these people were quite angry and complained about captives being treated inhumanely.
The movies and documentaries on TV all affirmed that captives' human rights should be protected, or they should at least be given a fair and easy death. However, Great Qin had hung them to death. That was simply too inhumane and humiliating. Even though these players didn't die a true death, Great Qin should at least pay for their mental harm.
Moreover, even though Great Shun had provoked Great Qin and acted quite arrogantly, Great Qin retaliated in such a way that made many people feel antagonistic towards Great Qin. After what had happened, many people saw both Great Shun and Great Qin as evil factions.
Finally, many people believed that as the Legatee of a Dynasty, Great Qin's Legatee should have been more compassionate and magnanimous. How could such a narrow-minded and cruel person have the right to rule the world?
The things that Great Qin did already made many people understand how cruelGreat Qin was, lowering their favorability towards it. Now that Great Qin had disregarded everything and started the Undead Disaster, almost all of China started to hate Great Qin.
As such, the people greatly supported the other Legatees to stop this disaster and Great Qin's cold-blooded Legatee.
At the same time, the various Legatees said that they welcomed all people to join them. Countless ordinary people and factions were incredibly excited as this was something that many of them dreamed of, and many of them immediately agreed.
However, the problem was the people who wanted to join were in other regions.
Currently, those close to the seventh region didn't dare to do anything, and they waited nervously. Once the Undead Disaster finished going through the seventh region, one of them would be targeted next.
With their deaths right before their eyes, they didn't chastise Great Qin using grand philosophies like others. They could only pray that Great Qin's Legatee wouldn't choose their region to attack next.
Within the meeting hall of the Ancient Clans, ten or so elders were discussing what to do next. One of the elders said, "Since the peace talks have failed, we have to act to stop Great Qin's slaughter. We can't allow the Undead Disaster to sweep across all of China."
After this elder spoke, a few elders nodded, but another elder frowned and said, "But if we act, we'll greatly offend Great Qin, and it'll be easy for us to become Great Qin's enemy. Great Qin's Legatee didn't seek revenge for the sealing incident last time, but this time it might not be the same!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They all understood how terrifying it was to make an enemy out of Great Qin. Normally, the Ancient Clans wouldn't want to make an enemy out of any Dynasty.
Finally, one elder sighed and said, "We have no other choice. We were willing to enter peace talks with him, but Great Qin's Legatee is determined to continue on with the Undead Disaster. However, the results of the Undead Disaster are too severe, so we must stop him!"
The other elders could only nod and agree.
Within Flower Moon, 20 or so women were also discussing this matter. One of the women said, "Big sis! Now, all of China, including the governmental factions, have become part of this. Do you think we should also get involved? Because of the Undead Disaster, our businesses in each of the regions has been severely affected; we must stop Great Qin's Legatee!"
However, another woman spoke up and reminded them, "But Great Qin is incredibly terrifying, and if we enter this maelstrom, we might fall into great danger."
These words caused the women to all fall silent – they all understood how powerful Great Qin's Legatee was.
Suddenly, another woman said, "If we don't stop Great Qin, our businesses might be reduced by 80%; can Flower Moon accept such a thing? I believe we should join in; since all of the factions in China are joining, I just don't believe that Great Qin's Legatee can slaughter all of China!"
"That's right! Big sis, our losses will be too disastrous; it's best that we join! Great Qin won't be able to do much to us. Even though so many factions involved themselves during the sealing of the Chaos Imperial Star, nothing has happened to them. We just need to be secretive when we act."
The other women all started to persuade the beautiful woman sitting in the main seat because only she could decide what Flower Moon would do.
Hearing these words, the mature woman felt a bit of a headache, but she still nodded in the end.

Chapter 1

 Counting back from today, it is thought that they must be numbered for thousands of years.  This is because the time was before the world began.

 To be precise, the school was not built yet, as it was supposed to be the world.  It is because of the ancient times, that even the Buddha did not know where life was at all.

 Today, there is a giant mountain named Wai, in the northeast of the mainland China, which is to become the world of today.  Mount Waiyi is mountainous with steep cliffs.  The area is home to wildlife.

 One day a light from the sky descended on the Waiyi Mountain at a rapid rate.  Then James' voice came, and the whole world was silent.

 About 100 years later, a Sanctuary doctor, who came to Wuyu to find medicinal herbs, found a strange stone in the back of a mountain.  The stone looked darker and harder than steel, so a magician came up with the idea.  It was just for making a sword.

 After about 10 years of trying, he was able to make a very good sword.  Sandar was one of the most accomplished scholars of the time.  He went to the royal palace and presented the jeweled sword to the king.

 The sword is not worthy of the common people.  According to the word "treasure", it is only in the hands of those who deserve it.  As the jewel came to the hands of King Myat Winthen, who founded the first Chinese empire နိုင် Shāng Shan dynasty (1700 BC to 1046 BC)  It has to be said that it was very harmonious with the tariff and trade mark.

 Thus, the holy sword became known as the king's sword.  King Wen Wen, holding the jeweled sword, lured a vast tract of land into his hands and established the Sand Dynasty.  The Great Nile in the Yellow River also won its first major state title in China's long history.  He called his hand the dragon, the "Dragon Dragon," and decorated it with great treasures.

 Until the time of the monarchy.  The black stone, which was buried in the valley of the Waiyi, is a meteorite falling from the heavens.  The stone should have simply been an ineffectual stone, but when human action turned into a sword, human power and hand were broken.  In the days of Nodron, the unique power of the sword became a source of greed for mankind.  :

 The dragon was a sword,  It was a very sharp sword.  The sword handle is made of very precious stone eyes, and the sword is very black and has a very distinctive shape.  There is a creature that can be easily cut, and the fluid that comes out with the sword's blood can take on any kind of injury in any amount of time.  : Not only has the ability to heal, but also the ability to overcome any poison.  Not only that, but the small amount of this fluid daily can be fortified without any physical training.  How much is a precious sword?

 The king of the Sangha kingdom not only greatly enhanced the power and power of the sword but also the life and life of the king over the golden throne.  It was.  But no matter how powerful a human being is, he always gives up.  In the end, the king had to leave all his possessions and the kingdom he had set up and leave for life.  In the end, the kingdom of Sanctuary disappears, and the dragon disappears.

The dragon and the dragon fly away from the world and quietly await the arrival of a new master in the world.  One day, he was waiting for the site to arrive.

 The dragon was asleep and hundreds of years later, it emerged as the Emperor of the Emperor on this vast expanse of earth.  As long as the world was not fixed, the Han Emperor's empire was lost.

 After the Han Dynasty broke down, many local warlords tried to become emperors, resulting in a series of land wars that led to the deaths of millions.  Extreme greed has led to the destruction of many lives, even in vain.

 To the north and to the north, Wales;  To the west;  To the south, three mighty nations emerged, the Wu.  The emperor, who came to power in Vienna, established a great empire of the Qin Dynasty and conquered much of the territory in the south, but suffered a rebellion.  The 16 countries were split up again.

 Later, fighting between the southern and northern dynasties continued fighting and fighting.  To learn how to protect the hearts of the people of the country because of the bitter suffering of the wicked and the wicked.  They became aware that they would hear.  Thus, there was a separate world of merchants and nobles, among the people of the warring kingdoms.  Everything is for the sake of reason.

 An emperor named Shwwan built a great Mahayana Buddhist monastery on a mountain range called Sassang and named it Shiva Temple.  At the same time, Buddhist monks from the west came to preach.  Among them, the missionary priest, Bo Vatha Dhamma (Tampa Boathi), came to the Shiloh School and distributed the magic.  Since that time, various arts have spread throughout the world.  In this world, many sects have emerged, such as the Salvation Army, the Salvation Army.

 One day a man with a black sword went through the world and came up with a vicious challenge.  The man not only wreaks havoc on the entire world with a single sword, but also the seven-edged sword of the Wanderers.  It was easy to eliminate the 108 monks and the monks of Shaolin, and the whole world was afraid of the black sword and the fear of man.  The man's sword was very black and very sharp.  Rumors have spread around the human body, as well as the fact that the man's sword is terrible.  The name of the person is called a black visitor.  But for some reason, the mysterious visitor suddenly disappeared from the world.

 Again, a terrible black magician, called the Skull, came up.  The skull of the skull of the skeleton and the giant dagger-shaped sword of the skull terrified the whole world.  As people say, following the greedy pursuit of the skeleton, a fierce battle ensues between the skeletons and the villains.

 The battle that took place in the valley of death was intense.  A savior on the side of the corpses appears to be in a state of defeat.  When he is a black swordsman, he is called a black visitor.  The black visitor stood on the side of the gang and faced the skeleton.  For about two days, the skeleton ran away with severe injuries and ran away.  The black visitor is gone after the fight.

 The dragon has disappeared again from the world.

 This happened many years ago.  As time goes on, the black-knuckle-eyed black-haired visitor comes to mind.  The villain's skull is slowly disappearing.  Everyone has forgotten that history is a cycle.

 This story is a countdown to the time of the Tang Dynasty, more than 100 years since the time of the battle between the skeletons and the black alien.  It was just an ordinary story of a young boy who came up.

Zhao Mantian asked Chu Yu if he should kill this King’s Realm cultivator.
The aggressiveness and power of Zhao Mantian was clear to Chu Yu. So long as he gave the go ahead, the King’s Realm cultivator would be dead in the next instant!
However, Chu Yu hesitated.
He was afraid that the people from inside the ancient monument would come out after they had killed the King’s Realm cultivator.
Furthermore, Lord Chu had not finished breaking through.
That would be incredibly awkward.
If the opponents were all King’s Realm cultivators, it would still be okay. At most he would owe his brother a favor and ask him to kill them all.
But the fact that they could leave a King’s Realm cultivator as doorman could mean that they had Supreme Realm cultivators in their midst!
What if it wasn't just one?
Wouldn't he be setting up his big brother?
Chu Yu contemplated for a moment, finally deciding against asking Zhao Mantian to take action.
He hoped that the opponents would come out later, and they could escape as soon as Lord Chu was done breaking through!
They could set up better when back home.
Now that he could mass produce these poison pills, he believed that he could formulate strong defenses.
He had the ability to make the entire border of the Chu Clan inaccessible!
No life form could come or go!
At the same time, he could move in and out freely.
How can it be a case of you attacking me but me not retaliating.
The terrifying power of an enraged, vicious pill master was unimaginable.
He could turn an entire city, even an entire country... into a living hell!
As his pill refining power kept rising, he could collect more superior medicines. Chu Yu believed that it would not be easy to refine a pill that can launch someone into the Xiantian Realm, but to refine one to launch someone into the Invigorated Meridian Realm... was completely possible!
This was a rapidly rejuvenating world, with many lost professions regaining prominence. However, a hierarchy was quickly forming as people fought to get to the top!
If one wanted to gain a foothold in the world, one needed to have immense courage and power!
Chu Yu had the teachings of two saints. Even though he was still young, like a young plant, there would be a day when he becomes a towering tree!
One should not begin the road of cultivation if one did not dare to compete.
Chu Yu waited for Lord Chu to finish breaking through.
He hoped that Lord Chu could advance by at least two small stages.
The Kings Realm cultivator was just waiting for his people to re-emerge from the monuments and bring with them superior teachings!
Then they will kill Chu Yu and exterminate the Chu Clan!
Zhao Mantian was also waiting. He was incredibly patient and vicious.
To his own people, he was extremely protective. He would use his life to protect them!
To his enemies, he was unbelievably vicious, and he would never show them any mercy.
During this time, he did two things in Qing Qiu.
Firstly, he got rid of the core group who had participated in the rebellion.
If they were capable of revolting once, they would be able to do it again. 
Betrayal was a one way street, there was no turning back. 
The second thing he did was to rebuild the Qing Qiu large magical formation. This time, with the power and control of a Supreme Realm cultivator, he was able to make the formation many times more formidable than before.
Upon receiving Chu Yu’s message, he rushed over without a second word. 
The King’s Realm cultivator had no idea that he was being hunted, even whilst he was hunting. 
He had thought that he was the boss here, and could easily kill that shameless baby. He had no idea that someone else already had him in their sights!
Zhao Mantian used the Voice Transmission Technique to ask Chu Yu what was going on here. 
Chu Yu smiled, took out his messaging tool, and told Zhao Mantian what had happened, as well as the origins of these men. 
Having heard that Chu Yu had obtained a superior medicine, Zhao Mantian was ecstatic. 
Zhao Mantian was more measured when it came to the Wu Clan of Qing Hai.
He did not use the Voice Transmission Technique, instead opting to use his messaging tool to communicate with Chu Yu. 
"The Wu Clan of Qing Hai was one of the divisions of a large ancient sect. Furthermore, they were one of the best back in their heyday. Since the ancient days, their disciples have walked the earth."
"Could there be any Supreme Realm cultivators inside the ancient monument?" Chu Yu asked.
"Definitely!" Zhao Mantian said with certainty. There was once a drawing saint in the Tang Dynasty!
He was also a Wu, Wu Daozi!
The Drawing Saint was no stranger to Chu Yu.
What he did not expect was that the Drawing Saint, Wu Daozi, was from the Wu Clan of Qing Hai. 
"Wasn’t it said that the pocket dimensions have been completely separated from the world after the world was sealed?"
Chu Yu was curious.
He had a feeling that this world had never actually rid itself from the shadow of the true cultivators. 
Zhao Mantian sent a grinning emoji, followed by a few sentences.
"Brother, if that was the case, how do you think our legends and rumours come about, both in China and abroad? Do you really think that those legends were the thoughts and imaginations of our predecessors?"
"For example?"
"For example, in the era of King Zhou of Shang, ancestor Su Daji had escaped QIng Qiu. The people now do not know better and call her a jinx, but do you know her cultivation level?" 
"Is it very high?"
"She was a True Lord Realm cultivator!"
"..."
Chu Yu was shocked, he had guessed that Su Daji, Hu Su Daji to be accurate, was a powerful cultivator.
However, he had not expected that she was a True Lord!
"Doesn’t that mean that she is in the same realm as Yang Jian?"
"Of course!" Zhao Mantian replied confidently. He told Chu Yu that Su Daji did not have any intentions to wreck havoc.
"The King at that time... was also a man from the pocket dimensions. According to the ancient terms, he was a deity who returned to earth. Su Daji... had fallen in love with Zi Shou, also known as King Zhou of Shang. However, in that era, the interactions between the pocket dimensions and the world were closely guarded."
Zhao Mantian sent a sighing emoji and told Chu Yu. In order to preserve the purity of the bloodline in the pocket dimensions, marriage with people walking the earth was forbidden. 
As such, the two of them agreed to stay on this earth till their old age. 
The two of them were powerful cultivators, and it wasn’t a difficult task for someone this powerful to take the throne.
After he ascended the throne, he married Su Daji.
Zi Shou was an ambitious and clever man. 
He ran the Shang Dynasty well. 
However, at that time, there were also people from the pocket dimensions entering the world. 
They began attacking the Shang Dynasty.
"In the end, it became a war for the ages. Countless numbers of clans were involved, including some of the most influential sects. History is always written by the victors. The losers have to suck up being slandered and scolded by generations to come."
Zhao Mantian told Chu Yu many stories, including those of Hou Yi... Chang Er, and the Three Lords and Five Emperors.
"Even though the world is sealed, true geniuses are always lonely."
Zhao Mantian was rather emotional, "There is a need for someone who can beat the odds and become a saint in every era. The story of the man riding a ox into the west past Han Gu pass, disappearing forever, is backed up by historical evidence. In actual fact, all he did was find the path of sages and enter the limitless universe."
"What about Confucius?" Chu Yu asked.
"Saint Confucius is powerful!" Zhao Mantian became extremely serious and alert when talking about Confucius. 
He told Chu Yu that Confucius was unlikely to be a person from that era!
As such, he had taken on the persona of a teacher when he entered society.
"Just like the old man, they are all genuine saints with great healing powers!"
Many of those in the pocket dimensions guessed that the saints from the later generations all had rather complicated identities. 
"We had once guessed that the talents from later generations who became saints were likely to be ancient people from the ancient era. They had become saints in an incredibly short time! Within a few decades, with a drought of spiritual energy, they had manage to become saints, how extraordinary."
Chu Yu looked at the message and began thinking deeply.
The legends of Ancient China were really too many.
However, these legends were all related to each other, painting a complete picture!
There is no way these were all imaginations. 
"Don’t think so much, if we can enter that realm one day, we will have our chance too. We can go and find the path of sages and enter the limitless universe."
Zhao Mantian was ambitious, "Now that the world is recovering so quickly, the foundation levels of the ancient era, Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian, are becoming more common. I believe that there was once a pill that allowed you to skip the foundation levels. As such, I believe that we are not far from becoming formidable."
Chu Yu messaged Zhao Mantian whilst he refined his pills.
He was clearly deep in thought, with the occasional smile. 
The King’s Realm cultivator on the tree kept controlling himself, telling himself to remain calm. 
He could tell that this shameless b*stard did not know anything at all!
He treated this place as a little theme park!
He was almost angered to death, yet, Chu Yu was still so relaxed.
"If not for... I would have killed you a long time ago!"
The King’s Realm cultivator grit his teeth. All of a sudden, his gaze shot to the river bank outside the little valley. 
A huge wave of energy fluctuations emanated from below the rock!
"They are out!"
The King’s Realm cultivator was extremely excited. He even forgot to maintain his cover!
He was preparing to kill this little b*stard the first chance he got. 
A single figure rushed out from within the energy magical formation below the huge rock.
Wa!
A mouthful of blood shot out of his mouth. 
After which, the figure wobbled and nearly collapsed on the spot. 
"What is going on?" The King’s Realm cultivator had no time to think. He also had no time to care about Chu Yu as he rushed over.
The guy vomiting blood was one of the ancestors of the Wu Clan of Qing Hai!
He was a Supreme Realm cultivator!
This time, the Wu Clan of Qing Hai had activated three Supreme Realm cultivators, six True Lords, one Xiantian and one Invigorated Meridian Stage 11!
The Xiantian and the Invigorated Meridian Stage 11 girl had been killed by the Chu brothers. 
One of the King’s Realm cultivators stood outside guarding the door. 
The other five followed the three Supreme Realm cultivators into the magical formation. 
"Ancestor, are you okay? What happened?" This King’s Realm cultivator was extremely flustered as he looked at the ancestor vomiting blood. 
The old man waved his hand, his face devoid of any color. His eyes glimmered with disbelief.
"There’s someone... someone below!"
The aged man panted and forced out the sentence. It was accompanied with another mouthful of blood.
Then, with a  bang, he fainted on the ground!


The eagle soars through the sky; the fish leaps over the dragon's gate; the bear roars and the tiger growls; all things in the world have a spirit. At the ends of Earth, the poles and magnetic field re-align; the world changes. The world that we were so used to, is no longer.

When myths turn to reality; when legends are no longer enigmatic, the world is now limitless.
