Simulating The Cultivation Of Immortals, I Reached The Nascent Soul Stage In Ten Days!

Speaking of this, Lin Changqing recalled Zhao Wugong from his memory.

Zhao Wugong was a great hero. Fourteen hundred years ago, the Northern Desert barbarian army, led by several barbarian high priests, attacked the Zhao Kingdom.

The barbarian high priests were equivalent to the Transformation Stage Heavenly Lords here, and some of them even faintly seemed to have touched the Void Return Stage.

At that time, under the attack of the barbarian army, more than half of the Zhao Kingdom's territory was lost, and the old emperor of Zhao was besieged and killed by several barbarian high priests. It seemed that the Zhao Kingdom was about to be destroyed.

The young Zhao Wugong was ordered to succeed to the throne in the face of danger. He made military reforms, then compromised with the domestic sect forces, ceded some rights, and finally joined forces with the domestic sects to barely resist the barbarian attack.

Everyone thought that the young Zhao Wugong had done a good job at that time, after all, he had successfully protected the Zhao Kingdom.

But no one expected that after only a hundred years of accumulating strength, Zhao Wugong led the Zhao Kingdom's iron cavalry three thousand miles deep into the grassland, counterattacked the capital of the Northern Desert barbarians, and even killed the barbarian high priest himself, shocking the world!

In the end, he delineated a grassland in the Northern Desert and turned it into the territory of the Zhao Kingdom.

The Zhao Wu soldiers were also trained in this way. Zhao Wugong cultivated a special desert wolf monster in the Northern Desert grassland.

This monster was very unique. Soldiers riding on it could increase their combat power. Finally, it is said that Zhao Wugong obtained some kind of ancient formation, and he cooperated to develop the Zhao Wu military formation.

In this military formation, humans and wolf beasts cooperate. A hundred-man formation can besiege and kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a thousand-man formation can form a Core Formation, and ten thousand people can form a Nascent Soul.

One hundred thousand Zhao Wu soldiers can besiege and kill a Transformation Stage Heavenly Lord!

With the support of this powerful army, the Zhao Kingdom became the strongest country among the seven countries at that time. Finally, a thousand years ago, Zhao Wugong united the princes of the seven countries and summoned three hundred small countries in the Eastern Region, becoming the leader of the princes!

As of the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain four hundred years ago, Zhao Wugong had been the leader of the princes for a full six hundred years, and his prestige can be imagined.

And four hundred years ago, he led the coalition forces of the other five countries, with the prestigious Zhao Wu soldiers as the vanguard, and a total of 500,000 iron cavalry attacked the border of the Wu Kingdom, Blood Desolation Mountain. One can imagine how earth-shattering and terrifying that battle would be!

A monarch who could counterattack the Northern Desert barbarian grassland led the devastating Zhao Wu soldiers to destroy the Wu Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing sighed: "Everyone thought that the Wu Kingdom was going to be destroyed at that time. After all, Zhao Wugong and his Zhao Wu soldiers were too prestigious, but no one thought that the Great Wu Human Emperor would eventually lead the Wu Kingdom to win. In the end, Zhao Wugong was seriously injured and fled, and 500,000 iron cavalry were wiped out. From then on, the position of the strongest among the seven countries changed hands from the Zhao Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom thus ascended to the throne!"

"Oh, then tell me how the Wu Kingdom won the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain, and how did they win under the leadership of that Human Emperor?" Ni裳's tone was very strange at this time, especially when she said the words 'under the leadership of the Human Emperor'.

"How to win..." Lin Changqing didn't think so much. He pondered slightly. Basically, the Wu Kingdom's folk tales about how the Wu Kingdom won the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain were very formulaic, nothing more than saying how wise and martial the Great Wu Human Emperor was, and how he finally turned defeat into victory.

So, Lin Chang shared these folk views on that battle.

Hearing these folk praises of the Great Wu Human Emperor, Ni裳 burst into laughter, and finally laughed so hard that tears came out: "Qin Wushang is really shameless, he dares to take the credit for such a great achievement, yes, a heartless and unjust person like him can do anything shameless!"

The Great Wu royal family's surname is Qin. It is said that the current Human Emperor is called Qin Wushang.

However, generally no one directly calls the Great Wu Human Emperor Qin Wushang. After all, for thousands of years, under the leadership of this legendary figure, the Wu Kingdom has gone from the weakest to the first, and most people in the Wu Kingdom still respect this Human Emperor.

Hearing Ni裳 directly call the Great Wu Human Emperor Qin Wushang, Lin Changqing's eyes narrowed. From Ni裳's words, he seemed to hear something.

"Could it be that there is another secret in the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain?" Lin Changqing asked.

"Of course there is!" Ni裳 nodded fiercely, "The reason why the Wu Kingdom won the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain was not due to Qin Wushang's credit, but to the Merman royal family in the East Sea, to the Great Wu Merman Queen who disappeared two hundred years ago!"

"What? The reason why the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain could be won was the Great Wu Merman Queen who disappeared two hundred years ago?" Lin Changqing's pupils suddenly widened. He had stayed in the Imperial Capital of the Central Province for ten years, and he had never heard of the Great Wu having a Merman Queen.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the current Great Wu Human Emperor seemed to have never established a queen.

Where did Ni裳's words come from?

"As far as I know, that Human Emperor doesn't seem to have established a queen," Lin Changqing said.

Ni裳 replied: "Of course Qin Wushang wants to wash away his stains. I will tell you how the Wu Kingdom won the Battle of Blood Desolation Mountain."

"Four hundred years ago, facing Zhao Wugong and the coalition forces of the six countries, Qin Wushang knew that he was no match, so he came to the Merman Sea Kingdom in the East Sea and requested an alliance. He proposed to marry the Merman princess as his wife, establish her as queen, and in the future, the Great Wu Emperor's position would be inherited by the children of the two."

"The Merman Kingdom is one of the three top forces in the East Sea. The Old Ancestor is Void Return Stage, and there are not a few Transformation Stage Heavenly Lords in the clan. It has to be said that Qin Wushang is really smart. If this top force of the Merman royal family participates, the situation on the battlefield of the seven countries can indeed be reversed, but the Merman Old Ancestor at that time did not want to get involved in the affairs of the land, so he refused."

"But who knew..." Ni裳's face held an indescribable irony, "Qin Wushang had excellent methods. He must have used some trick to make the merman princess devotedly follow him. The merman princess begged the ancestor, saying she was pregnant with Qin Wushang's child, pleading with the merman ancestor to save her child's father. The merman ancestor was initially furious but ultimately had no choice but to agree."

"After agreeing to aid the Wu Kingdom, the merman Return to Void ancestor personally led an army of 100,000 sea creatures to the battlefield, single-handedly holding back the other five kingdoms' ancestors, creating the conditions for Qin Wushang to defeat Zhao Wugong."

"If Zhao Wugong and the other five kingdoms' experts had joined forces, Qin Wushang would have certainly been no match, and the outcome would definitely have been encirclement and death."

"Imagine, without the plea of that merman empress that day, would that Return to Void ancestor have intervened? Without the merman Return to Void ancestor's intervention, Qin Wushang's fate would certainly have been encirclement and death by the six kingdoms' experts!"

"So, I say, the greatest contributor to the victory at Blood荒Mountain was that merman empress's plea that day. It's just a pity that this stupid woman only enjoyed the glory for two hundred years. During those two hundred years, she became the empress, and the child in her womb, not yet born, became the future heir followed by countless generals and ministers of Great Wu. Many supporting factions rallied around her, and the Great Wu Emperor listened to her every word."

"She became more and more prominent, but she couldn't imagine that a枭雄like Qin Wushang couldn't tolerate the feeling of power being divided. Seeing the merman empress's influence in the Wu Kingdom growing, his patience became increasingly limited. Finally, two hundred years ago, Qin Wushang seized the opportunity when the merman ancestor died unexpectedly, and he finally made his move against the merman empress!" Speaking to this point, the expression on Ni裳's face was very calm, but Lin Changqing felt a great sadness in her tone.

Ni裳 continued, "That stupid woman finally met a tragic end two hundred years later. The merman royal family's power in the Wu Kingdom was uprooted by Qin Wushang. She herself was hunted down while pregnant, and after giving birth to a daughter, she entrusted her to a commoner. Then, her injuries flared up, and she died miserably from her severe wounds."

"The one who seriously injured her was Qin Wushang. No one expected it. The person she knelt down and begged that day, two hundred years later, stabbed her with the biggest knife." Ni裳's face was now filled with mockery, as if mocking the merman empress, yet also carrying a hint of sorrow, as if grieving for the woman who died tragically in the end, and also carrying a bit of resentment, perhaps resenting the heartless Great Wu Emperor.

Lin Changqing remained silent for a long time after listening. He hadn't expected so many secrets behind the battle of Blood荒Mountain.

Objectively speaking, from an outsider's perspective, it wouldn't be fair to say that the Great Wu Emperor had no contribution in the battle of Blood荒Mountain, after all, he single-handedly faced and defeated that overlord of the world, Zhao Wugong.

However, the merman royal family definitely made a significant contribution to this war. After all, that merman ancestor held back the experts from the other five kingdoms, giving the Great Wu Emperor a chance for a fair fight.

Otherwise, as Ni裳 said, Qin Wushang would definitely not have been able to withstand the joint attack of the six kingdoms' experts.

Lin Changqing now had a guess about Ni裳's identity. He remembered that mermen and humans were different, and their gestation period was generally two hundred years. Ni裳's age seemed to be about two hundred years old, which matched the daughter born to the merman empress.

Therefore, he understood Ni裳's biased remarks at this moment.

After all, even as an outsider, he felt that Qin Wushang's actions in this matter were not righteous.

"The imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times." Lin Changqing sighed in his heart. Qin Wushang's cold-blooded operation reminded him of the ambitious and talented Qin Shi Huang, and the two did have some similarities.

The Qin and Chu kingdoms had intermarried for generations.

King Huiwen of Qin married a woman from Chu,芈, who was also the Queen Dowager Xuan, also a woman from Chu.

King Xiaowen of Qin married Lady Huayang, a daughter of the Chu royal family.

Lady Huayang later adopted an adopted son, who was the father of the First Emperor.

Historical records state that the First Emperor did not establish an empress, but according to some historical speculations, the mother of Prince Fusu was also from Chu.

In short, due to generations of intermarriage, the influence of the Chu kingdom in the Qin kingdom was very large.

Therefore, before attacking Chu, the First Emperor bloodily eradicated the power of Chu in the Qin kingdom. Fusu's mother should have also died in that purge.

It is not difficult to infer Qin Wushang's motives from the perspective of an emperor.

The merman royal family helped the Wu Kingdom win the battle of Blood荒Mountain, which was a great contribution.

In addition, Qin Wushang established the merman princess as empress and personally promised that the position of heir would be inherited by the child in the merman empress's womb.

In this situation, the power of the merman empress and the merman royal family behind her in the Wu Kingdom would definitely grow wildly.

Some ministers and generals of the Wu Kingdom would definitely have to bet in advance, following the future heir in the merman empress's womb.

Over the past two hundred years, the forces surrounding the merman empress must have grown more and more.

A梟雄-like figure like Qin Wushang definitely couldn't tolerate the imperial power being divided, not even by his wife and his child.

Perhaps one day, Qin Wushang heard the palace maids laughing and saying that when the child in the empress's womb was born, he would definitely be a good future monarch of the Wu Kingdom.

Perhaps one day, Qin Wushang sat on the imperial throne and saw his ministers and generals happily saying that when the child in the empress's womb came out, he should be established as the crown prince as soon as possible, and the country would be stable and passed on only if there was a crown prince.

He was furious, he felt that his imperial power was being divided, he felt that the power he held was threatened by the merman empress and the child in her womb.

So, after the death of the merman ancestor, he took action coldly.

In the Wu Kingdom, Qin Wushang only allowed one voice, and that was Qin Wushang, not the merman empress, let alone an unborn child.
