"So, you can die in peace now!"
"Within my Takamagahara domain, you cannot borrow the authority of the Netherworld!"
"I must say, you old codger are actually quite formidable! Even in death you don't rest! You've actually managed to gradually seize most of the power in the Underworld over the course of a thousand years!"
"If I hadn't intervened in time to thwart your power! If the underworld didn't have its own rules of operation, and if the power you could command wasn't limited, I really might not be your match here! Heh!"
Although living for over a thousand years is not living in the traditional sense, the current state of the Six Paths is actually quite different from that of ordinary dead souls.
He has already condensed a special body that resembles a spirit.
Otherwise, if the Zanpakuto pierced him, it would only cause his soul to disintegrate, not cause him to bleed.
"Can you tell me why you appeared behind me? I clearly hit you!"
Liu Dao was very puzzled.
His intuition just now was definitely correct.
Clearly, he didn't realize that his own feelings could also be deceiving.
That's exactly what a mirage is!
Do you think I'll tell you?
Yunxiao had no intention of answering him. Instead, he suddenly flicked the Mirror Flower Water Moon upwards, instantly splitting Liudao's entire upper body in two.
Even the head is no exception.
"you"
Liu Dao's eyes widened instantly, leaving behind his final words: "I'm so unwilling!!"
Then, the soul began to dissipate.
"Suppression!"
Upon seeing this, Yunxiao directly used the rules of Takamagahara to suppress the scattered soul, and then sat cross-legged in the void to begin reading the memories of the Six Paths.
I picked out some of what he owned, organized it, and then I was completely absorbed.
Half a month later,
Yunxiao stood up again, stretched, released the restraints on the six remnant souls, and let them dissipate in Takamagahara, where they were absorbed by the Takamagahara world.
Then, he waved his hand to put away Takamagahara and reappeared in the Pure Land of the Underworld.
"You've finally shown up! It seems my elder brother has failed!"
Not far away, Otsuki Hamura opened his eyes and looked at the sky with a complicated expression.
"Oh?"
Yunxiao looked at him with surprise and said, "I didn't expect that! Liudao didn't destroy your soul! I thought he would have done that!"
Hamura shook his head: "No matter what, we are brothers. My elder brother wouldn't go this far. He only suppressed me before!"
"But two weeks ago, I discovered that the power suppressing me had disappeared!"
"I've been waiting here for you to come back!"
"Now that everything has settled, I've let go of my last obsession! It's time to leave!"
With that, Hamura flew directly towards the other side of the River Styx.
"Are you preparing to reincarnate again?"
Yunxiao was very surprised.
This guy is really unpredictable!
He was the complete opposite of his scheming and manipulative brother.
"Indeed! Reincarnation is the true destination of the deceased! It is also the correct order of all things in nature! Farewell!"
After saying that, Hamura disappeared into the endless void of reincarnation without warning, his aura vanishing completely.
Far inside the moon, Princess Kaguya suddenly looked up towards Earth, her eyes wide with shock as two long tears streamed down her cheeks: "Haemura is gone too? Waaaaaah (^)"
She had just sensed that Hagoromo, or Rokudo, had completely lost his soul aura, and now even Hamura's had.
It's not that it's hidden away, but that it has truly and completely disappeared.
Even though they were two unfilial sons, and she shouldn't feel sad about them, for some reason, Princess Kaguya felt empty inside, and an inexplicable sadness kept welling up in her heart.
"You're really carefree! In that respect, even I can't compare to you!"
Yunxiao watched as Yu Cun resolutely threw himself into the cycle of reincarnation and couldn't help but sigh.
"This Netherworld is indeed a wonderful place! Especially for someone like me who possesses the power of death!"
"Therefore, we can't just let this go! We have to seize power!"
Without hesitation, Yunxiao immediately created a shadow clone to send Qi back to Konoha, conveying the news of his seclusion, and then began his own seclusion in the Underworld Pure Land.
The Qin Dynasty world
At this moment, Ying Zheng was confronting Lü Buwei.
"I've heard that His Majesty has been frequently contacting the soldiers and has even ordered Meng Tian to form the Tianwen Army. Is this true?"
Lü Buwei stared directly into Ying Zheng's eyes without expression and asked.
"So what if I am? So what if I am not? Do I need to ask Prime Minister Lü for permission to do anything? Who is the King of Qin, me or you?"
Ying Zheng looked at Lü Buwei with the same expressionless face and said coldly.
That's right. He recently had Meng Tian select a thousand elite soldiers from the army to train as the first large army of warriors.
He just didn't expect that old man Lü Buwei would react so strongly, actually coming directly to his door.
Originally, Ying Zheng was not planning to confront Lü Buwei directly. He intended to continue preparing behind the scenes, accumulating the strength of Qin, and waiting for Qin to become more powerful before confronting Lü Buwei.
I never expected this old man to be so nosy.
Then don't blame him for turning hostile.
Looking at the resolute Ying Zheng and hearing his words, Lü Buwei narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Of course, Your Majesty is the King of Qin!"
"However, Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You are still a minor and have not yet assumed power! I am the regent appointed by the late king."
"You have arbitrarily formed a new army! This is an overreach of your authority! I beg Your Majesty to rescind your order and disband the Tianwen Army!"
Lü Buwei was also tough, and directly confronted him head-on.
"Okay! You're fine!"
Ying Zheng squinted at Lü Buwei, a flash of red light appearing in his eyes. He activated his Eternal Eye and immediately cast an illusion spell:
"Illusion Technique: The Great Brainwashing Technique!" Sponsored by Uchiha Yunxiao!
The next moment, Lü Buwei was completely stunned.
In the outside world, a single breath may pass, but in the mental world, several hours may have already gone by.
After brainwashing and altering Lü Buwei's memories, turning him into someone who would obey his every command and be utterly loyal, they completed the process.
Ying Zheng then ended the illusion.
Chapter 246
"Your subject Lü Buwei pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
The next moment, Lü Buwei bowed deeply to Ying Zheng and said, "I was very offended just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"It's alright! The show must continue! I need Prime Minister Lü to help me win over those who are not of one mind with me, and who are not of one mind with the Great Qin. I'll wait for the right opportunity!"
"As for the rest, don't touch anything on the surface!"
"Of course, some things I've arranged, including the Tianwen Army! On the surface, you must take all the blame for them yourself, deceive and mislead others, and provide cover for me, understand?"
Ying Zheng didn't just brainwash Lü Buwei; he also conveyed some information to him.
This was all for the purpose of smoothly carrying out further reforms in the Qin Dynasty later.
However, he did not want to alarm any forces for the time being, nor did he want those who were secretly hostile to him to go into hiding.
Catching hidden mice is too troublesome, and it's hard to find an excuse. It's much better to let them jump out on their own.
So, on the surface, he still wanted Lü Buwei to stand on the opposite side of him, so as to attract and win over those who were hostile to him.
Finally, he was able to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Yes! We can develop our capabilities and identify our enemies simultaneously.
"Here!"
Lü Buwei immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Then he asked Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty! Should we clear out the eunuchs and soldiers around here? After all..."
"Need not!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "I have already won them over! Their loyalty is not a problem at all! You can rest assured!"
"I haven't been working for nothing these past few days. I've already won over everyone in the palace, so you can rest assured!"
Lü Buwei nodded, then tentatively asked, "Including Empress Dowager Zhao Ji?"
"Including her!"
Ying Zheng nodded expressionlessly.
He didn't want things to come to this, after all, Zhao Ji was his biological mother.
But Zhao Ji was too promiscuous; Ying Zheng had to brainwash her!
If he were to get involved with Lao Ai again, just like before, wouldn't he have no shame?
I'm afraid we'll be laughed to death by the other Cloud Sky members then.
So he was ruthless and banned it from the start!
Of course, he didn't alter too much; he simply gave Zhao Ji a psychological suggestion.
From now on, she will support Ying Zheng in everything, and she will absolutely uphold the virtues of a wife and will not do anything reckless.
A loving mother and a filial son, how wonderful that is!
In short, Ying Zheng transformed her into a truly wise and considerate mother.
Everything else remains the same.
"Then I am relieved!"
Lü Buwei gave a slight bow and said, "Then I shall take my leave?"
"Okay! Go ahead! Remember to act all smug!"
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Here!"
Consciousness space,
Ibu looked around and said, "It seems like it's been quite a few days since I've seen the Uchiha clan. Has anyone seen him recently?"
Pirate Cloud shook his head: "Never seen him! It seems like I saw him last time when you caused the Takamagahara advancement, and I haven't seen him since!"
"I remember he said he was going to help Obito awaken his Sharingan, learn Kamui, and also go to the moon!"
The hentai man nodded in agreement: "Yes! I remember that's what he said last time!"
"Speaking of which, did this guy run into some kind of Six Paths of Hell and just die?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "How could that be? With his strength, how could he be so useless? How could that Six Paths guy possibly beat him? You're overthinking it! Something must have been holding him back; it's perfectly normal for him to be in seclusion for a few months!"
Then, she looked at the dragon and said, "I've got the transformation spell you wanted to turn the dragon into human form working. Now you can go and explore human society!"
"Thank you!"
The dragon nodded: "I plan to buy Borneo as soon as possible and turn it into my private territory before thinking about anything else!"
"Great idea!"
Doomsday Clouds gave it a thumbs up.
