Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 676 - 410: The State Preceptor is rather narrow-minded, the 21st level of True Technique is within sight, a great catastrophe is imminent.
"Darn it, drinking really does cause trouble, I never thought that despite my breakthrough limit, I would still be such a lightweight."
Yi Chen leaned slightly forward, his spiritual power sweeping across all directions. Only after he saw a graceful figure completely escape his detection did he expel his Extreme Origin breath and incinerate a purple strand-like object on the floor of the room.
After finishing all this, the Great National Master straightened his chest with a firm attitude, adjusted his trajectory, and then with a loud bang, closed the window. The room was instantly plunged into deep darkness.
The next day, when the sun was three poles high.
The closed window was opened again, sunlight flooded in, and immediately filled the entire room.
At the peak of Falling Dragon Mountain, a Taoist who was stretching leisurely began to emerge.
"Waking up in the morning, praise the sun!"
"Yi Chengzi, Yi Chengzi, your diligence is indeed astounding to me."
After a sigh, the Taoist flicked his sleeves and immediately trod upon empty air, speeding toward Emperor Qin Ying Si's Imperial Palace.
Logically speaking, after completing the task given by Emperor Qin Ying Si, according to the laws of Great Qin, one should immediately return to report to him.
However, World-Shaking Pure Yang was clearly not an ordinary person; even if he was late, no one dare trouble him over such trivial matters with their blind arrogance.
This was the privilege of the National Master Yi Chengzi.
Clouds constantly whipped behind him as he sped away, and behind the Taoist, at the summit of Falling Dragon Mountain, a peculiar tree now grew towards the sun.
It was shaped like a bull, with skin like tassels, yellow like a snake. Its leaves were like nets, and its wood was like ferns.
On those vast net-like leaves, there grew various lifelike patterns of birds, beasts, hanging dragons, and divine bells, looking extremely mystical.

"Your Majesty, while it's important to inspire people to strive, not everyone is adept at warfare or enjoys combat and slaughter, including the common folk."
"From this perspective, I believe Great Qin needs to make graduated distinctions, allowing those who wish to lead a simple life to live in poverty but stability after paying a certain price."
"The Contribution Points system should also favor those talented in production; they may not be strong in combat, but these people are the foundation of an empire. The potential of a great empire depends largely on these production talents. They are also part of the military's foundation."
"For those who wish to establish military merits, we need to offer them extravagant riches, for theirs is a high-risk venture with hopes for high returns."
"For instance, if someone has worked hard, risking their life for resources, and you merely use a few words to take ninety percent, leaving them a mere ten percent, that could cause serious problems. Even if they're just beasts of burden, you have to allow them to earn enough fodder."
"Only this can be the path to enduring peace and stability."
In the Imperial Palace, the Taoist's clear voice echoed through Ying Si's study.
Yi Chen was giving face to Emperor Qin Ying Si by coming to report today; he could be late, but he could not fail to come.
Being late was because Yi Chengzi, as a Great National Master, naturally had to maintain his dignity; it wouldn't do to come report alongside General Wang Jian.
As for why he could not fail to come… that was because Yi Chengzi was the Great National Master of Qin, not Emperor Qin himself.
After seeing Yi Chen's arrival, Emperor Qin Ying Si was clearly delighted. He had obviously learned every detail of the Shen Island mission through others. In fact, as soon as Yi Chen appeared, the Great National Master's report was essentially complete.
However, contrary to Yi Chen's expectations, Emperor Qin Ying Si began to ask him about his vision for the future of Qin.
For the great strategic development direction of Qin, Emperor Qin Ying Si was increasingly fond of discussing with the esteemed master.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?"
After stating his views, Yi Chen touched his nose, feeling a bit puzzled by Emperor Qin Ying Si's gaze.
"I was just wondering, in the past, no matter what extreme thoughts I had, as long as I discussed them with the National Master, I could always let go of my guilt and feel that I'm still a generous monarch. Now today, the strategy that the National Master has proposed is so... mild."
"It just made me somewhat emotional for a moment."
In the face of Yi Chen, the current Emperor Qin Ying Si had none of the airs of a monarch, his face wearing a mischievous smile, he jested.
On that handsome middle-aged face, Yi Chen read an expression that said, 'National Master, today you actually seem human.'
Yi Chen: ". . ." (╬゚д゚)
"Old man, fuck, you think you're funny?"
Suddenly, Yi Chen's mind was filled with furious invectives; if he could defeat the man before him now, he really would like to blast him with an electric cannon.
Naturally, Ying Si had no idea of the blasphemous thoughts flickering through his National Master's mind. He turned serious, bowed, and said solemnly:
"Please enlighten me, National Master."
"Compared with your current thinking, my previous ideas were perhaps a bit too extreme."
"I can understand why cultivators skilled in production deserve special treatment."
"But for those who do not strive for advancement and cannot contribute strength to the empire, why should I treat them well? Wouldn't that defeat the martial spirit of Qin?"
The Millennium Emperor of Great Qin had a great advantage; he would ask if he didn't understand.
Looking at Ying Si, sincerely seeking enlightenment, Yi Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, having guessed Ying Si's previous thoughts.
That was to treat those he considered 'unambitious' as non-humans, to discriminate against them in all aspects of life in the empire, to strike them down, to help them advance, or to destroy them, and use their tragic state to deter potential 'unambitious' people in the future.
