Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 620 - 387: Courteous Reception, Great Qin’s National Teacher Yi Taoist? Qi Longhu and ’Old Heavenly Master’_2
```
"Master, this is what my father asked me to deliver. He said it's a token of his gratitude for your righteous intervention, a gift of thanks."
A pair of jade boxes was placed on Yi Chen's desk by the young girl.
Yi Chen opened the jade boxes and saw that the left one emitted a white mist, while the right one radiated a fiery red glow. Indeed, they were the Ice Jue Jade and Fire Jue Jade, rare treasures of heaven and earth.
"This, the Crown Prince is truly wise!" Yi Chen sighed in his heart.
"Disciple, go back and thank your father for me."
"Here's what we'll do, disciple, I just cooked a big pot of bobo chicken, which is as unique in this world as the Ice and Fire Jue Jades. Take some back for your father to try."
"Miao Zi, help me send Qing Yun off."
Yi Chen picked up the jade boxes, intending to walk to the inner chamber of the Daoist palace.
To obtain two pieces of Ice and Fire Jue Jade was like a windfall from heaven.
However, at that moment, the words spoken by Qin Qingyun abruptly halted his steps.
"Master, my grandfather asked to see you when you have time."
"What? The Millennium Emperor wishes to see me?" Yi Chen was immediately taken aback upon hearing this.
...
...
Inside the resplendent ancestral dragon palace, two figures were wrestling with the meat of the ferocious beast, the Blood Kuai Ox, on the dining table.
*Burp~*
After a hearty meal and plenty of wine, Yi Chen finally picked up a white handkerchief offered by a maid and wiped the blood from his lips.
The rare doneness of the Blood Kuai Ox meat was extremely savory; the appeal was in the food's natural flavor.
"Daoist, you now possess divine agility. When the four great monks of the Central Continent's Buddhist sect came to kill, two died and two were gravely injured. It seems you have indeed broken through your limits," Yi Chen commented.
"The timing is much sooner than I anticipated, truly a fortune for our Human Realm," Yi Chen continued.
"Do you have any plans for the next step? If not, I wish to invite you to become the State Preceptor of the Great Qin Empire, what do you say?" Yi Chen inquired.
"As long as you agree, Great Qin is willing to fully support the Hidden Dragon Temple with people, wealth, methods—whatever you need, opening the way for all possibilities," Yi Chen stated.
The Millennium Emperor, wiping his lips with a white brocade handkerchief, spoke languidly.
"Great Qin's National Teacher?" Yi Chen was momentarily stupefied.
"Yes."
"This..." Yi Chen found himself falling into a prolonged silence. He had never expected Ying Si to make such an offer, and at that moment, he felt genuinely torn.
If he really became the State Preceptor of Great Qin, it won't be as easy to remove that title as it would be the one he currently held, the Great Commander of Great Qin's mighty Hu Ben Army. Yi Chengzi would become even more tightly bound to Great Qin.
Yet, if he accepted Ying Si's offer, with the help of Great Qin, Bai Yunzi's dying wish to expand the glory of Hidden Dragon Temple could truly be realized.
"Haha, Daoist, since you have successfully broken through the limit, you are now one of our peers. There's no urgency; the position of Great Qin's National Teacher will always await you," Ying Si chuckled heartily when he saw Yi Chen's demeanor, his smile now carrying a more affable tone.
To break limits... If those with astounding talents are held back outside the gate, what could be more difficult for a person to overcome than oneself?
To become a Break-Limit True Monarch means an identity that spans two worlds, incomparable to what was before.
Only now, in Yi Chen's present state, was he truly regarded by Ying Si with serious consideration, as an equal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yi Chen gratefully and gracefully accepted the respite.
The matter was of great importance, and he indeed needed to carefully consider it.
"Daoist Yi, we'll set this topic aside for now. I invited you today because there is a matter I'd like to discuss with you."
"But of course, Your Majesty."
"I have appointed Vice Director Lin Luo of the Ministry of Justice as a special envoy to make a trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain. To prevent certain desperate acts, I would like to invite you to accompany the envoy, thereby eliminating certain people's hopes."
"A martial arts manual, within a year, I will find you one that is no less than the Dominant Fist of Heaven and Earth manual. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen immediately slapped his chest: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Daoist Lin Luo is both a close friend and ally of mine. I shall accompany her on this journey."
"When does Daoist Lin Luo intend to set out?"
Yi Chen trusted Emperor Qin Ying Si's promise. Since he said he was willing to find a martial arts manual no less inferior to the "Dominant Fist of Heaven and Earth", he would not break his word.
Of course, whether he got the martial manual or not wasn't a big deal to Yi Chen; what really concerned him was looking at the transformed evil bone of the Snake Queen in his storage ring, which gave him an eerie feeling.
```
According to Yuan Jun, this thing is nothing but a time bomb. Whoever has a grudge against him can simply toss it into their home.
Now that the Yan Family has perished, and the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple has been destroyed by him, the remaining Mount Daguangming and Kutuo Temple are still untouchable for the time being.
So,
The remaining handsome fellow becomes quite conspicuous.
Dragon Tiger Mountain, the lineage of Zhang Longyi.
Yi Taoist must deal with him now.
Since this is the case, he might as well take this opportunity to toss the evil bone into a hidden corner of Dragon Tiger Mountain, delivering them a grand gift and collecting some interest.
Dragon Tiger Mountain held sway over the Dao Sect of Central Continent with long-lasting blessings; even if they could bear it, it would definitely hurt them to the core.
And he could take this envoy mission as a chance to truly learn about the depth of Dragon Tiger Mountain, unlike before, when he had only a fleeting glimpse, barely seeing a fraction of what lies beneath the proverbial iceberg.
Dragon Tiger Mountain, which even the Buddhist Sect dreaded, must also possess shocking trump cards.
"Fifteen days. Fifteen days from now we will depart."
"There are a few matters I still need to arrange in this time."
"Good. Once the day comes, Your Highness just needs to send someone to inform me."
"Yi Taoist, aren't you curious about the secret matter that Vice Director Lin Luo is going to discuss with them on his trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Emperor Qin Ying Si, seeing Yi Chen agreeing so readily, couldn't help but ask with great interest.
"Not interested."
"No matter what Daoist Lin Luo talks about, whether the talk succeeds or fails, Your Majesty, you will have achieved your objective."
"Now, with the Buddhist and Daoist sects of Central Continent being the mainstay against the Eastern Continent, the seed of doubt, once planted, just needs the right moment to take root and sprout."
"Ha ha, Yi Taoist, truly a person of great talent!" Emperor Qin Ying Si couldn't help but reveal a hint of great admiration and exclaimed, "Some say I am a sovereign of the Kingly Way, while others say I am a sovereign of the Hegemonic Way."
"And some say I practice a hybrid of the Kingly and Hegemonic Ways!"
"In truth, they're all wrong, gravely wrong. Whether the Kingly Way or the Hegemonic Way, both are merely tools in my hand."
"A true emperor, who cannot see through this facade, will ultimately have limited achievements!"
"The Kingly Way has its benefits, the Hegemonic Way its finesse, the Sly Way its ingenuity; all depend on the situation,"
"to achieve the goal with the least cost, to unite the Human Realm, then rally the strength of our Human Race, pushing across all four realms, and to finally remove the sword hanging over our heads once and for all—that is my heart's desire."
"Ha ha, Yi Taoist, I won't hide from you that 500 years ago, I was actually hesitating over one issue, which was whether or not to depose the hundred schools of thought in favor of elevating one above all."
"But then I gave up on that idea. A solitary blooming flower does not signify spring; a myriad of flowers blooming heralds a spring garden. Facts have proven that I was right."
"The grandeur and tolerance of an Emperor are unmatched in this world. I am in awe!" Yi Chen couldn't help but exclaim admiringly.
To others, these words to Ying Si would likely warrant but a disdainful smile. But hearing such words from Yi Chen, who is now a Break-Limit True Monarch as well, Emperor Qin Ying Si couldn't help but feel honored.
As Yi Chen was about to leave, he suddenly cracked a smile and revisited an old topic: "Taoist, are you really not considering Vice Director Lin Luo?"
"With your current identity, status, cultivation, and wisdom, you should be sowing your seeds across the world!"
Yi Chen: "....."

Stars hang low over the vast plains.
Above the wilderness, Qi Longhu knelt on the ground, gasping for air, as an immensely large, ink-black, strange wolf's paw pressed onto his head, unable to move forward even an inch.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Because at this moment, a withered hand slowly reached out from the chest of the giant wolf creature, pulling out a purple heart.
"Disciple... Disciple, thanks to the Heavenly Master for saving my life."
"The outside world is indeed full of peril, and the Heavenly Master has saved my life twice."
At this moment, 'Zhang Ji Shi' looked on with an unusual expression.
Throughout the journey, he had encountered attacks from other kinds twice, which was truly beyond his comprehension, and countless ambushes.
Even mortals dared to rob them on their path.
"Old Heavenly Master, why don't we quickly return to the mountain? The Heavenly Master would surely be very happy to see you," said Qi Longhu, still breathing heavily.
"Silly boy, you don't understand. The timing wasn't right before, but now it's about ripe. Let's go to Dragon Tiger Mountain."
As Qi Longhu turned to lead the way, the 'Old Heavenly Master' casually popped the purple heart into his mouth.
"You... what kind of monster are you! Ah!"
A piercing scream suddenly emanated from the purple heart, but it was completely blocked by a silence barrier, and Qi Longhu, who was cheerfully leading the way in front, was completely oblivious to this anomaly. At this moment, he was as happy as a child.
"Old Heavenly Master, let's go this way; it's shorter!"
