Chapter 288: The Ordinary Senior Brother
The black-robed monk was none other than Zhao Lei, the earth immortal from the lower realm of Jin'ao Island.
But he was one step too late for Li Chen.
Just as he was feeling regretful, he witnessed Li Chen being beheaded with his own eyes, and secretly felt lucky.
"He is worthy of being the Emperor of Dai Viet. He can even kill an earthly immortal on the spot." The moment Li Chen died, Zhao Lei's hair stood on end. He felt the same way.
If he had appeared earlier than Li Chen, he might have been the one to die.
" Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Zhao Lei, from Jin'ao Island." Zhao Lei added.
"Are you here to recruit me as well?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Lei smiled, looking very happy. "I was not sure before, but now you have no choice. If you kill Li Chen, you will offend Yuxu Palace. Only Jin'ao Island can protect you."
That's true.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no way out by fighting alone. You must have a backer. Otherwise, no matter how talented or how many opportunities you have, it will be difficult to go far.
Just like Li Chen said before, if Qin Mo can kill him, can he deal with the true immortals of Yuxu Palace?
Going up further,
There are also celestial immortals like Yun Zhongjun, who can crush Qin Mo to death with just the movement of his little finger.
However, if Qin Mo joins Jin'ao Island, that would be a different matter. The personal grudge between the two would escalate into a confrontation between the two major sects, and no one would dare to act rashly.
What's more, Yuxu Palace and Jinao Island have never gotten along well.
Qin Mo smiled bitterly.
If you trace back to the origin, the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect and the three major immortal sects are actually from the same sect, but in the end they do not belong to the same sect, which means he is destined not to rashly join any of the three major immortal sects.
Otherwise it would be disrespecting the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
"To be honest, I will abdicate and leave this world within three months. There is actually not much significance in your sect trying to win me over." Qin Mo had no choice but to tell the truth.
He doesn't have the ability to kill another immortal.
"oh?"
Zhao Lei was greatly surprised that there were indeed people who did not covet the power of the emperor. He asked curiously, "Who will succeed the throne?"
"Regent Qin Xuan."
"Him?" Zhao Lei smiled bitterly. "Compared to you, his talent is far superior to yours."
Qin Xuan: "Baby feels sad, but he dare not say it..."
"Jin'ao Island is not short of talented disciples, is it?" Qin Mo said with an inexplicable meaning.
After all, he couldn't fight against the Immortal Sect alone.
The decision to kill Li Chen was not only to vent his anger, but also to make a complete break between Yuxu Palace and Jinao Island, which could be regarded as a token of his allegiance.
Trying to please both sides usually ends up pleasing neither.
"That's true."
Zhao Lei was still very satisfied with Qin Mo's straightforwardness.
Just as Qin Mo said, the purpose of Jin'ao Island is the same as that of Yuxu Palace, which is to share the fortune of the human race in the lower world.
The difference is that in the last Conferred God Battle, Yuxu Palace was the winner, and Jin'ao Island was the loser.
Because of this , Jinao Island cherishes this opportunity even more and does not care too much about Qin Xuan's qualifications.
This is also why Qin Mo chose Jinao Island.
In addition, compared to the Yuxu Palace, which is aloof and has strict requirements for accepting disciples, Jinao Island is relatively humane.
They will be more able to accept Qin Xuan.
When Qin Mo first met Li Chen, he was not sure about this until Li Chen threw out the jade slip and took the initiative to explain the situation of the three major immortal gates in Xuandu Immortal Continent.
This made Qin Mo want to kill.
…
The rest is easy.
On June 13, 203 BC, Qin Mo, the first emperor of the Dai Viet Dynasty who had reigned for 16 years, abdicated the throne to the regent Qin Xuan.
On that day,
Qin Xuan was accepted as a disciple by Zhao Lei, a true disciple of Jin'ao Island, and officially became a disciple of Jin'ao Island.
Qin Mo participated in the disciple-taking ceremony. Seeing Zhao Lei perfunctorily encouraging him for a few words, and then saying nothing more, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Since you are accepting me as a disciple, shouldn't you pass on the Dharma?"
"Well……"
Zhao Lei was slightly embarrassed. Qin Xuan was probably the disciple with the worst qualifications accepted by Jin'ao Island. He was not qualified to receive the sect's true teachings, but his identity was there after all.
It can be considered the "mascot" of Jinao Island, right?
Being squeezed by Qin Mo, Zhao Lei had no choice but to pass on one of the true teachings of Jinao Island to Qin Xuan, and solemnly said: "This is the true teaching of the sect, it must not be leaked, otherwise, don't blame me for cleaning up the sect."
Saying,
He also glanced at Qin Mo inadvertently.
Zhao Lei was worried that Qin Mo would not join Jin'ao Island openly, but would secretly learn the true skills of Jin'ao Island through his younger brother.
That is absolutely not allowed.
Qin Mo felt amused in his heart, he really looked down on it.
"Yes." Qin Xuan was still a little confused.
In just one month, he became emperor and joined the immortal sect. It was simply a dream.
"Congratulations, Master, for accepting a good disciple." Qin Mo clasped his fists and changed the subject, "Since you have accepted a disciple, shouldn't you give the disciple a little gift? As a terrestrial immortal, Master, your gift won't be too shabby, right?"
“…”
Zhao Lei was very suspicious that Qin Mo was born a devil.
In fact,
Qin Mo definitely didn't mean to make things difficult for Zhao Lei.
By accepting Qin Xuan as his disciple, Zhao Lei had an extra halo above his head - the emperor's teacher. In the future, when participating in the distribution of the fortune of the human race on Jin'ao Island, he would have the advantage of time and place.
It is a great opportunity in itself.
It would be unreasonable for Zhao Lei not to give back some of the benefits he received.
Zhao Lei felt that Qin Mo's gaze was too fiery, as if he could see through him. There was no secret on his body at all. He could only painfully take out a treasure armor from the storage ring.
This armor is deep blue all over, and it is obviously a great treasure at first glance.
"This is the armor of the universe, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and a supreme defensive treasure. I give it to you as your master, and I hope that after you put on this armor, you will be able to swallow up the universe and sweep across the world." Zhao Lei did not forget to show off his masterly style.
"Thank you, thank you, Master!"
Qin Xuan was not stupid. He knew that it was a good thing that his brother had obtained for him, so he quickly accepted it.
Qin Mo also laughed.
He had originally planned to leave the Six Yang Qing Ling Demon-Repelling Armor to Qin Xuan for self-defense when he left, but now it seems that he has found a better one.
really,
Having a thick skin has its advantages.
"Okay, it's done, and it's time for me to leave." Zhao Lei's tone was a little anxious, as if he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, Qin Mo would cause trouble again.
As he spoke, he took out the Ascension Order, activated it, and disappeared in an instant.
Qin Mo glanced at the Ascension Order, thoughtfully.
"Brother, I'll give this to you. I don't need it." Qin Xuan took out the Universe Armor again. "I heard that the demons in the prehistoric continent are rampant. It's very dangerous."
After Qin Mo left the Warring States subcontinent, he had no choice but to return to the prehistoric continent.
Many people are worried about this.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should keep it for self-defense. From now on, the Great Yue Dynasty, including my Qin family, will rely on you for support."
"Um."
Qin Xuan nodded heavily, his eyes a little moist.
Qin Mo, however, could not see this, so he took out the imperial seal and handed it over, "This is also for you, as the inheritance treasure of my Qin family."
Qin Mo was going to take the Twelve Golden Men away, but he was going to leave the imperial seal behind.
Qin Xuan took it solemnly.
"Go and call Han Feizi in." Qin Mo ordered.
"Um."
Qin Xuan calmed himself down and left the hall.
Slightly tilted,
Han Feizi walked in alone, looking a little confused.
Last month, after killing Li Chen, Qin Mo had a private talk with the ministers. It was nothing more than "entrusting the orphan to the care of others", asking the ministers to assist Qin Xuan well.
Why summon me again now?
Qin Mo got straight to the point. "When I first came to this world, I accepted a Korean named Zhang Liang as my disciple. Unfortunately, Zhang Liang was unlucky and died young. I promised this disciple that I would accept another Korean as my disciple. Are you willing?"
Han Fei Zi formed his own school within the Legalist school and was also loyal to the Dai Viet Dynasty.
Naturally, he is the best candidate.
"this……"
Qin Mo's question was so sudden that Han Feizi was a little slow to react.
"I know that you once studied under the Confucian Xunzi and are also a member of the Legalist school. If it is not convenient for you to become my disciple, then just pretend that I said nothing." Qin Mo never forced anything.
At worst, he could accept Han Xin as his disciple.
Due to the rapid rise and fall of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the historical military genius Han Xin did not get the opportunity to spread his wings and was later recruited into the Dai Viet army.
It can be considered as excellent qualifications.
"I, I do." Han Feizi bowed and saluted.
He studied under Xunzi, but learned only the art of being an emperor, not the way of spiritual practice, so he had no taboos. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the great masters of the Legalists.
"That's good." Qin Mo was also very happy, "From now on, you will be my eldest disciple."
"Greetings, Master!"
Han Feizi understood and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Qin Mo accepted it and took out a jade slip and handed it to Han Feizi, "This is our sect's secret technique, the Shenxiao True Method. It has twelve levels, and the first nine levels are recorded in it. It is enough for you to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal."
"Thank you, Master, for teaching me the Dharma." Han Feizi took it respectfully.
Only then did he vaguely realize why his master was unwilling to join an immortal sect like Yuxu Palace or Jin'ao Island. It turned out that they had an equally powerful inheritance, and he became slightly excited.
Qin Mo nodded and shouted outside the hall: "Come in!"
The three disciples Lu Xueqi, Yan Chixia and Diao Chan entered one after another, each with a trace of reluctance on their faces.
There were tears in the corners of Diao Chan's eyes, and the look she gave Qin Mo was like that of a wounded little animal, so pitiful that I felt sorry for her.
Qin Mo pretended not to see it and pointed at Han Feizi, "This is my new disciple and your senior brother."
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Lu Xueqi and the other two bowed in unison, without any objection.
With Han Feizi's cultivation level at the late stage of Lianxu, it was more than enough for him to be the eldest brother of the three.
"After I leave, you must follow Han Fei's teachings carefully and don't slack off at all." Qin Mo ordered.
This is also why,
He passed the "Shenxiao Zhenfa" to Han Feizi.
"Follow Master's instructions."
Lu Xueqi and the other two bowed together again, their faces full of reluctance.
"Master, Master, can you take me back to the Black and White Mountain Villa?" Diao Chan said pitifully.
Qin Mo deliberately frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Black and White Mountain Villa has been destroyed. There are evil spirits everywhere. I dare not say that I can protect myself, let alone take you with me."
If possible, he didn't want to be separated from his disciples.
There is no other way.
"Then, wouldn't Master be in danger?" Diao Chan became even more worried.
"Don't worry, I have my own plan. Nothing will happen. I, your master, can even kill immortals." In order to appease his disciples, Qin Mo could only brag shamelessly.
Diao Chan: “…”
You just said you can't protect yourself? Big liar!
Qin Mo looked at them one by one, his face full of emotion. Unknowingly, the disciples had all grown up. Lu Xueqi was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, and Diao Chan and Yan Chixia were both in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
In addition to cultivation,
During the years that Qin Mo was in seclusion, the three of them traveled around the Warring States subcontinent. Behind the scenes, they had no idea how many hardships they had experienced and how many difficulties they had overcome.
Even though Diao Chan looks like a little girl in front of him, she is very majestic outside.
"When the young eagle grows up, it must learn to fly alone." Qin Mo paused and said, "Just remember one thing, the change of dynasties is a natural thing. Don't be too obsessed with it. Do you understand?"
He was worried.
It would be totally not worth it for the four disciples to get stuck in a dead end and risk their own lives just to defend the dynasty he left behind.
In the eyes of a true great monk, let alone the change of dynasties, even the evolution, prosperity, and disintegration of a civilization are all passing clouds and do not bother him or her.
"Understood."
The four disciples seemed to understand but not quite.
…
The next day, Qin Mo left the palace quietly without disturbing anyone, and left the Warring States .
Once he left, he never came back.
