Chapter 684: Chapter 453: What Will Future Generations Think of Me?
“Your Majesty?”
Xu Yang’s heart stirred.
The ‘Your Majesty’ these heroic spirits of the Qin army were referring to could only be Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
He asked tentatively, “General Meng, may I ask why His Majesty wishes to see me?”
The Captain of Tiger Corps counter-asked, “Isn’t it you, Celestial Master Xu, who sought an audience with His Majesty?”
Xu Yang: “…”
That’s true.
It seemed like it was him who took the initiative to come.
He stiffened his scalp and followed Captain Meng Fan of the Tiger Corps. Shortly, they arrived on a long bridge that spanned about ten miles over a silver river that cut across the entire plain.
Xu Yang released a wisp of his divine senses to probe the silver river.
However, as soon as his divine senses entered the silver river, they were instantly erased by a strange power.
Surprised, Xu Yang asked, “General Meng, is this river the same as the Heavenly River in the sky?”
General Meng said, “Not exactly. This river is called Yuanshui River and was personally designed by the Imperial Tutor. It contains the formations set by him and has the ability to defend the Holy City.”

“Yuanshui” actually means mercury.
As for the Imperial Tutor of the Qin Dynasty…
Xu Yang couldn’t help but think of the one in the legends who led three thousand boys and girls out to sea to seek the “Elixir of Immortality” for Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Creating a river of mercury that could easily erase even his divine senses…
This “Yuanshui River” was no simple matter – it served as a moat for the “Holy City.”
After crossing the bridge and traveling three more miles, they arrived at the “Holy City” gate.
Only when standing under the towering city gate could one truly feel the power and oppression exuded by this city!
The city walls were over thirty meters high, and their surface was a dark black color.
Upon closer inspection…
The walls of this “Holy City” were all of one piece, seemingly cast from some special black iron.
On the surface of the city walls, numerous Daoist formation patterns were engraved. Xu Yang was proficient in one of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills: the [Formation] divine power, which he had integrated into his Immortal Daoist path, making him an expert in formations.
He glanced at the Daoist formation patterns on the surface of the city walls, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.
Meng Fan noticed the abnormality and asked, “Did Celestial Master Xu see something?”
Xu Yang took a deep breath and said, “Such grandeur, such a powerful formation… The Daoist formations engraved on the surface of these city walls can slaughter immortals!”
“Is that what you’re talking about, Celestial Master Xu?”
Meng Fan said, “This Holy City was cast by His Majesty after he conquered the world, collecting all the gold, iron and treasures. The Daoist patterns on the city walls and within the city were all created by the most powerful formation masters of that era.”
“Even some Immortals from the heavens participated in the construction of the Holy City. If the full power of the Holy City was unleashed, not to mention Golden Immortals, even Da Luo could be suppressed!”
Xu Yang: “???”
Da Luo?
Above the heavenly immortals are Golden Immortals.
Above Golden Immortals are Da Luo.
No, that’s not right.
Da Luo were not above Golden Immortals, but remained in the “Golden Immortal” realm. However, they had already developed their own “Dao,” making them incomparable to ordinary Golden Immortals.
For example, Lord Cui was a “Da Luo.”
With his strength, if he wielded the Book of Life and Death and the Judge’s pen, he could easily suppress Golden Immortals like Sirius with one hand.
What we usually refer to as “Da Luo Golden Immortals descending to the mortal world” is precisely this.
This “Holy City” could suppress even Da Luo?
How could this not shock Xu Yang…
Moreover, Meng Fan had just mentioned that Immortals from the heavens had participated in the construction of this Holy City, which made him even more puzzled!
Why did Emperor Qin Shi Huang build this Holy City?
Was he still alive, or did he exist in some other form of life?
Inside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, there were hundreds of thousands of heroic spirits, the weakest of which were on the level of Ghost Kings, countless Ghost Immortals, and even several dozen auras of “Heavenly Immortal Realm.” Yet for more than two thousand years, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld Palace had turned a blind eye – was there some sort of plan or layout?
Boom!
The huge city gate slowly rose.
Meng Fan made a gesture of invitation and said, “Celestial Master Xu, please enter!”
With countless questions in his heart, Xu Yang entered the “Holy City.”
As soon as he entered the “Holy City,” Xu Yang was shocked again!
He saw that everywhere within the Holy City were engraved Daoist formation patterns. In various areas of the Holy City, nine-story earth and stone altars were built. Even the surrounding void bore traces of Daoist formation patterns.
Each of these altars gave him an extremely dangerous aura!
In the major areas of the Holy City, barracks were built, and numerous Qin soldiers in armor tirelessly practiced their combined attack techniques.
Of course.
There were also some “strong” individuals who practiced alone.
After Meng Fan’s introduction, Xu Yang came to know…
Most of these “strong” individuals who practiced alone were powerful warriors and heroes who had died throughout Da Xia’s history. There were experts from two thousand years ago, as well as those who existed more than a thousand years ago, and even some who could be traced back to the Morden era!
“How could this be?”
“Is that… Ji Jike?”
“The founder of the Xingyi Sect?”
“And that one… Could it be Yang Luchan? The undefeated Yang the Invincible in the martial world back in the day?”
Xu Yang’s eyes showed a shocked expression!
There were some people whose names he had heard of before.
For example, Ji Jike – he was the founder of the Xingyi Sect!
He was born in a time of spiritual aura depletion and was able to establish an influential sect in that era and earn the title of “Martial Arts Grandmaster.” His talent could be considered extremely high, at least on par with a Land Immortal in both the ancient martial arts heyday and the present!
