Chapter 1081: Chapter 1079- Ancient Qi Cultivator
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“As for whether it is there or not, I don’t know. However, I heard that Grand Teacher cultivated a technique that can break his soul into dozens of pieces and form many incarnations.”
“Spirit Cultivation Soul Splitting Technique?”
Zong Shou was a little familiar with it and looked into his memory. In just a short moment, he gained something.
In the books of the Common People’s Path, there were records of this technique. It was really evil, splitting one’s soul into several pieces and even dozens of pieces.
Each one was an independent body with its own personality. However, there was a connection between one another.
That Zhongxuan to a certain degree wasn’t Zhongxuan but could carry the memories of the latter.
This evil technique was also one of the Qi Cultivator legacies, much more weird than the Demon Sect techniques.
There were even cases of soul fragments fighting one another and killing each other.
Legend had it that the pinnacle of this technique allowed one to split one’s soul into seventy two parts.
Of course, the outcome of which would be that one would totally lose the ability to enter the Saint Realm and End Realm.
This was why there were very few Qi Cultivators who learnt this, and even if they did, they would only fragment one or two souls.
Speaking of which, Zhongxuan could really be alive. However, would the fragment of his soul suffer from the recoil of the Heaven Path?
“So, not only did the Great Shang Grand Teacher obtain the Qi Cultivator legacy, but he also got the legacy of an ancient expert...”
Zhang Huai’s brows were tightly furrowed, “I thought that this person was just a normal divinator but he is actually not that ordinary. He probably has a huge plan for helping Great Shang.”
The ancient Qi Cultivators felt that everything had Qi which could be used. King Path Energy, Righteous Energy, Massacring Energy, Life, Death, all of which could be used, all of them could be utilised to cultivate. Which was why Qi Cultivators had much longer lifespan than normal cultivators. However there were good and evil ones, there were maniacs who went around killing people and also proper gentlemen.
This was why Qi Cultivators was just an overall term and it didn’t form into an official faction.
“Speaking about Qi Cultivators, one has to mention a person. That year when the Qin Emperor wanted to live forever he sent Xufu to lead three thousand kids overseas to search various worlds for the elixir of everlasting life.”
When Zhang Huai said this, he was deep in thought, “Before Qin was wiped out, the Qi Cultivators were slowly wiped out. All Saint Realm and above cultivators all died. However, only this person left the Cloud World and was fortunate enough to live. This person was someone who was able to suppress Dragon Shadow Saint Venerable. If he is still alive, he must also be an End Realm Saint Venerable.”
Xufu?
Zong Shou knew about this person. That year when the Qin Emperor searched for a way to live forever, he captured many cultivators to obtain pill recipes and cultivation techniques.
Taoist Faction, Common People’s Path, and all the factions weren’t afraid. However, those factionless cultivators suffered.
Most Qi Cultivators lived alone and were unable to resist the Qin army, those numerous experts as well as the twelve copper men.
The smarter and wiser ones all fled out of the Cloud World and they didn’t dare to return.
However, there were many who were captured. A few strong core members weren’t able to escape.
After Qin was wiped out, the Cloud World’s spiritual energy was reduced and weakened. The various factions fought more and more intensely for resources. Factionless cultivators found it tougher and tougher to survive, resulting in the extinction of Qi Cultivators.
At that time, out of the few Peak Saint Realm Qi Cultivators, only Xufu became a legend. It was said that in the outer region was a land of herbs which had an undying medicine. Although it couldn’t allow one to live forever, it could help expand lifespan by ten thousand years.
The End Realm Saint Venerable of the Human Race Chi Songzi formed his Dao due to this medicine.
The Qin Emperor believed it and Chi Songzi’s matter was recorded in history books. Thus, he sent the three thousand kids to follow and also many Saint Realm experts to monitor.
When Xufu left he didn’t return. Even those kids and the Saint Realm cultivators all totally disappeared.
It was said that this person was really talented and was all rounded. He was already famous before Dragon Shadow.
He focused on the Dao and was much better than people like Kunming and Wei Xu. If he didn’t die he would definitely be at End Realm.
Was he the twelth End Realm of the Cloud World?
There were more than fifty End Realm Saint Venerables in this region who were known. However, there were many who people didn’t know about.
So, Zhang Huai was saying that Zhongxuan had obtained the legacy of Xufu?
“Although Qi Cultivators have disappeared from the Cloud World, they haven’t been wiped out yet. Ruler has to be careful in the future. However, our Great Gan accepts all factions and doesn’t exclude people like the Confucian Faction and Taoist Faction. There is a higher chance of us recruiting them as compared to others...”
Zhang Huai smiled and he wasn’t so worried anymore.
“Regarding that Qin Emperor tomb, I come from the Ghost Valley Zongheng Technique line. I am not really sure about the tomb and am even uncertain whether the twelve copper men are inside. If Your Majesty wants to know the specifics the only one would be to find a few Mohist or Qi Cultivator members.”
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. He had never come across Qi Cultivators. Only Kong Rui who cultivated using the luck of Great Gan had a slight connection to the Qi Cultivators.
However, speaking about Mohist legacy, he did have one in his country.
At this point, he was most probably at the Tianfang World, helping him to create the sword foetus of his second soul.
Was he done with it already? He was looking forward to that Xiantian Purple Xuan Metal Energy.
That person was most probably a core disciple of the Mohists. Who knew if he knew much about the Qin Emperor Tomb?
Without any hesitation, Zong Shou took out a purple gold talisman. Using his spiritual sense, the talisman turned into a dove and flew out, speeding into the void.
The Country Protecting Copper Men and the Qin Emperor Tomb was a huge matter. If one was not careful, it would turn the entire situation on its head.
This was why Zong Shou would rather delay the time that he returned to the Lu Family and handle this matter properly.
However, Tianfang World was far away and when this talisman arrived it would be ten days later. To and fro would take twenty days.
During that period of time, he could wipe out the Demon Sect!

Subei Governor Manor, within the main hall in the third layer of the complex.
At this point, the Emperor Yuanchen Yinyu was sitting at the main seat with a defeated expression.
His eyes were a deathly grey and very dim. fre ewebno vel.com
He ascended to the throne when he was sixteen. In his life, he took out powerful officials and suppressed the aristocratic families. It wasn’t like he had never faced setbacks but that he was always able to keep pumped up and had never been beaten down. Even if he lost badly he would be able to pick himself up after.
However, this time the defeat at God Falling Plains had totally crushed all his self confidence and will!
Eight hundred thousand elites had all been wiped out there! The remaining ten million troops were there for the taking too.
As the Great Shang Emperor, he was more clear than others that the current Great Shang was on the verge of collapse.
“Saint Ruler, how can that kid be the Saint Ruler?”
He muttered but he was totally dispirited. Even the destruction of the eight hundred thousand elite troops couldn’t compare to when he saw the qilin beside Zong Shou, that King Energy charged towards the heavens and the scenes of the dragon roaring and phoenix chirping.
Unlimited regret rose up in his chest and was chewing at his heart.
Maybe he shouldn’t have gone all out and thrown all his troops over in the south.
He shouldn’t have been so confident and chose to have the final battle at God Falling Plains.
He instinctively thought back to what Jin Buhui and Shiyue said to him.
The two of them were actually correct.
“Your Majesty!”
Yinyu was awakened from his self pity and grievances. When he raised his head, he saw a confident and majestic teen who walked into this wide hall.
On the two sides were just a few maid servants of the governor manor.
Yinyu instinctively thought back to Zhongxuan as well as the officials that he had to abandon.
The sadness in his heart became even deeper. Was Great Shang really going to end here?
“Your Majesty roughly four hours ago Kong Yao broke through Min River. Zong Yuan led two hundred thousand troops to charge at Henglian Mountain Range. The East Settling General troops and East Protecting General troops have all surrendered.”
Yinyu’s eyes froze and he didn’t react. Moments later his pupils constricted and he realised that close to three million people surrendered.
Under the Great Shang system, title generals were just under Commander in Chiefs and were Rank Two, same as Admirals and could lead million troops.
Two title generals surrendering, that was two million. They had given up and had become Gan army war prisoners.
Wanyan Xiongsheng was one of his most trusted generals and came from a vassal state. Although he was only a Chief Commander, he was given a lot of responsibility.
The seven hundred thousand troops under him defended Henglian Mountain Range to block the retreat path of the Shang army.
Who knew what method Kong Yao used to actually make him surrender so cleanly without even fighting?
Rage rose up in his chest and his blood boiled. Yinyu felt a sweet taste in his mouth, along with a blood stench it charged out of his throat. However, he forcefully swallowed it down.
It was okay if it was other people, but the moment Wanyan Xiongsheng surrendered, there was little to no chance of the south troops returning back to the country through Henglian Mountain Range.
Their grain path was already cut off and they could only rely on the space artifacts of the Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction.
However, the three factions couldn’t even protect themselves much less bother about them.
If they shipped grain to the south they would be at risk of Great Gan hunting them down.
More importantly how much grain did Great Shang even have?
In the past with him suppressing those people didn’t dare to behave badly. Now that Great Shang was showing signs of falling, how much effect could his orders achieve?
They really couldn’t keep the Jiangnan land?
“Message the Jiangnan Navy Admiral to immediately lock all the river systems! Jiangnan states ship their treasuries to the north. If the grain can’t be sent, then burn them...”
Thinking about that, Yinyu hesitated, “Summon the Liao Prince and order him to enter the Imperial Capital. Give him the title of crown prince.” fre ewebno vel.com
Shiyue’s eyes lit up when he heard it. As expected from a mighty lord. Even at his lowest point his arrangements were all on point.
At this point, Great Shang couldn’t take an internal strife. Everyone was in a panic and to decide on country policies right away was the best plan.
“And also Hundred Victory Pass...”
Yinyu’s gaze was ice cold. If this pass was lost, then Great Shang would definitely be gone.
