The Tiansheng Sect was originally composed of the remaining disciples of the Mohist school, and Confucianism and Mohism were feuding.
When Confucianism became the state religion, it naturally drove out all the Mohists at that time, causing the Mohist doctrine to be almost extinct. Mohist doctrine was even called the study of humble servants, with its strange and obscene skills, and was banned, destroyed and burned countless times.
The ideas of equality and universal love advocated by Mohism are fundamentally contradictory to the centralization of power and the promotion of feudal hierarchy advocated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, everything Confucianism did was officially supported by the Han Dynasty, and the Mohist school fell completely.
However, the people who survived and united around Xie Bo became extreme in their thinking, and gradually formed the Xie Ji Sect in later generations.
In this secret room in the underground river, Xu Yin saw the various developments of the Tiansheng Sect since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Although they are the most prestigious and powerful of the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths, they have rarely participated in the affairs of the Demon Sect since their inheritance.
The evil emperors of the past dynasties were all indifferent people, and they were truly an anomaly among the demon sect.
After reading the stories of past dynasties, Xu Yin naturally began to read the martial arts experiences of the sect masters of the past dynasties carved on the stone walls. Most of them were about the understanding and enlightenment of the demons in the heart of the Tao.
For Xu Yin, it was enough to help him improve his spirituality and further master the True Sword of Destroying Illusion.
For more than ten years after that, he lived in seclusion here and practiced hard every day. Both his swordsmanship and his cultivation level improved greatly!
His cultivation realm is still in the second stage of innateness, and all the sinews and skin have been washed away, leaving only the internal organs and bone marrow that still need to be tempered for a long time.
With the mentality of Xiantian Gong, this is enough to keep his physical appearance young, but the hormones and endocrine in his body are still uncontrollable, and his beard and hair will remain white as they should.
At this time, even if the body does not use internal force, it still has great strength and long endurance, which is perfect.
The ninth level of the Great Shift of the Universe that has been cultivated through internal energy has been completed, and it is enough to control the vitality of heaven and earth in a space three feet outside the body.
Within three feet (a radius of sixteen meters), he can even imitate the sword fairy in Xianxia novels and control the sword with his mind, coming and going freely.
However, to Xu Yin, this can only be regarded as a showpiece. Only when the sword is held in his hand can man and sword truly become one, independent of heaven and earth or integrated between heaven and earth.
The sword in his hand is more than ten times more threatening than the flying sword controlled by the vitality of heaven and earth!
The biggest function of being able to control the vitality of heaven and earth within three feet is to compress the vitality within this range and condense it outside the body surface, so that like Xiang Yutian, one can build an absolute barrier an inch or three outside the body.
If he hadn't been determined to suppress the demonic thoughts at that time, Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan might not have been able to break through it together.
The absolute barrier that Xu Yin gathered was not as powerful as Xiang Yutian, but it was enough to withstand Bi Xuan's all-out attack head-on.
The Great Shift of the Universe also has the ability to turn death into life and life into death similar to the Immortal Seal, but it does not have the various magical sound illusions that Shi Zhixuan's luck skill can create.
And this evil sect skill originally created by the old man Assassin in the mountains was now heavily integrated into Xu Yin's Taoist heart, and it has become an authentic Xuanmen skill.
The movement of energy and qi all contain the natural avenue of heaven and earth. It is upright, majestic, and combines the strength and softness of yin and yang. It is the most top-notch magical skill in the world.
As for swordsmanship, Xu Yin absorbed a large amount of the summary of Xuanmen martial arts within the Tiansheng Sect, plus the true meaning of martial arts left by Xiang Yutian before Shattering the Void.
His spirituality was greatly enhanced and he was able to control the death energy and demonic nature in the sword.
Although it is still not as good as the real sword of Pohu Ming which is completely controlled by the ancient bronze sword after letting down the guard, but with the power of the sword, it will no longer fall into the situation where the demonic nature is boiling and needs to be suppressed like before.
If faced with a targeted attack from Shi Zhixuan, Xu Yin would be confident to use his sword to deal with it without leaving any harm.
Moreover, as Xu Yin's Daoist heart grew stronger with his True Sword of Destruction of Illusion, the death energy on the sword became more and more indifferent, and the meaning of the vastness of the heaven became stronger.
Although it is still a sword that must drink blood after being drawn, its power has only greatly increased, and it has become weaker and weaker.
With this kind of sword intent, Xu Yin can no longer use it until the critical moment, just like the Kongji Wuhen Sword.
Xu lived in seclusion in the desert of the Western Regions for more than ten years, and lived in seclusion in the underground river of the ancient city.
He is not a god, so of course he needs to eat and drink.
Therefore, in addition to hunting jackals and yellow sheep for food, they often ride horses to nearby markets to buy food and daily necessities.
The Western Region is a place where the weak prey on the strong. He travels alone and has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, so he will naturally attract the attention of many bandits.
However, no one of the horse bandits who dared to follow him into the desert came back alive.
Over time, there were legends about him in the desert.
It is said that he is a demon from the depths of the desert. He often takes the form of a human and carries gold, silver and jewelry to seduce greedy people. Once you follow him into the desert, you will be buried in the desert forever and will never be able to leave in this life, even if you are the fire god Zoro.
Astor could not save their souls.
Because Xu Yin often disguises himself when he goes out and never appears with the same face, everyone in the desert knows this legend, but no one knows what he looks like.
Nowadays, the Central Plains has changed its dynasty. After he quelled the chaos in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and successfully suppressed the Yuwen clan, he coerced the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to issue an edict to abdicate and named the country Sui, marking the first year of the founding of the emperor.
In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, a grand palace was built on Longshou Plain and named Daxing City. This was the predecessor of Daming Palace in later generations.
In the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Yang Jian led the Jin Dynasty King Yang Guang out of Liuhe, Yang Jun led out of Xiangyang, and Yang Su led the navy out of Yong'an. A total of 518,000 troops attacked Chen in three directions.
Nanchen lacked the natural protection of the Huaihe River and relied solely on the Yangtze River to resist the Sui navy flowing down the river. They were retreating steadily.
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the Sui general Han Qinhu invaded Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen Kingdom, and captured Chen Shubao, the leader of Chen alive. He completely destroyed Nanchen, unified the north and the south, and unified the world. This completely ended the three hundred years of chaos since the Western Jin Dynasty's southern migration.
In the tenth year since the founding of the Emperor, Yang Jian looked down upon the world, but only the Lingnan Song clan would not surrender without fighting, so he sent 100,000 elite troops to sweep away Lingnan.
Song Que led 10,000 elite troops to fight against each other. The two sides fought decisively at Cangwu. Song Que won ten of the ten battles. With his top-notch military strategy, the Sui army lost their armor and helmets. His face changed after hearing the name of Song Que.
Yang Jian lamented that the state of Chen had good ministers and famous generals but could not reuse them. Otherwise, why would the Sui Dynasty destroy Chen in one year?
At that time, the world was just settled, and the land south of Lingnan was mountainous and barren at that time, and the environment was dangerous. People from the Central Plains had always regarded it as a place of exile.
When Yang Jian wanted to conquer again, no one in the civil and military forces in the country was willing to take the initiative to lead the army to face Song Que.
In desperation, Yang Jian adopted a gentle policy and made Song Que the Duke of Zhennan. Although Song Que accepted the title, he never went to court. Yang Jian regretted not being able to conquer Lingnan throughout his life.
It is now the thirteenth year since the founding of the Emperor, and the world has already entered the prosperous age of the Founding Emperor. The national power of the Sui Dynasty is increasing day by day, and it dominates the world.
Only the Mobei Turks were left, watching with eager eyes. Instigated by Princess Dayi, who had made peace with them in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they often went south to the Han Dynasty to loot and kill.
At this time, outside the territory, Gaochang, where the Western Turks were located, welcomed a few rare Han people.
