Chapter 326: Persuasion and Deception to Subdue the Yin-Yang School
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Xinghun and the other two's expressions changed drastically, and they took several steps back.
Xinghun once again condensed a blade of energy in his hand, and Da Siming was surrounded by endless red light, while countless leaf shadows drifted around Shao Siming.
Seeing the three of them instantly assume a defensive stance, Li Ping was somewhat puzzled: "What, is it so hard to accept joining me?"
Following the gazes of the three, Li Ping looked at Uezumi Nobutsuna and suddenly realized, "Good heavens, so you guys are afraid of being controlled by 'He Sheng Du'."
Li Ping chuckled and said, "I've heard that the protectors and elders of the Yin-Yang School are all reincarnated spirits of priests from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, who have possessed other bodies. You can all accept that..."
Xinghun couldn't help but interrupt: "That's fake, a lie."
That was just a lie fabricated to add to the mystery. Otherwise, with his arrogant nature, how could he accept the idea of reincarnation and possession?
Li Ping nodded, understanding now; that world wasn't quite that absurd. "But what about Gao Yue? What do you say about her?"
Xinghun fell silent again.
In fact, what the Yin-Yang School did to Gao Yue was similar in essence to "crossing over to another life".
Using the fifth level of Yin-Yang magic, "Soul Transformation Technique," combined with the Mind Control Incantation, they brainwashed and mentally controlled Gao Yue, attempting to cultivate the personality of "Ji Ru Qianlong" within her in order to unravel the secrets surrounding her.
However, despite their long efforts, they failed to achieve complete success. Li Ping, on the other hand, controlled Uezumi Nobutsuna with "He Sheng Du" in just a few breaths, making Uezumi Nobutsuna willingly submit to him as his lord, thus achieving the effect they had longed for.
More importantly, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is far more powerful than Takatsuki, making it infinitely more difficult to control him using "Other Life Crossing".
Because they were well aware of the difficulty involved, the three of them became even more afraid of Li Ping, since no one wanted to lose themselves.
To be honest, even Li Ping himself felt that using "He Sheng Du" to control others was somewhat insidious, which is probably why the kind-hearted Bai Suzhen never used it when fighting enemies.
Therefore, Li Ping would not use such methods unless it was an enemy.
The Yin-Yang School is not his enemy for the time being. He wants to try to persuade them again, and if that fails, he will talk to them again.
Li Ping laughed and said, "Do you know what became of the Yin-Yang School?"
Xinghun and the others were all taken aback.
The High Priest shook his head and said, "Although this is the future, you said before that we belong to different branches of time. How could you possibly know..."
Li Ping waved his finger: "Although the different branches are different, the general trend will not change. Just like any branch in time, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and perished after two generations."
"Therefore, the fate of the Yin-Yang School was roughly the same."
"Xu Fu will lead three thousand boys and girls eastward to Japan, establish a nation, and become the first emperor. The Yin-Yang School will also flourish in Japan and be known as the Yin-Yang Masters in later generations, but that's all."
"On the contrary, the Taoism and Confucianism that you despise have flourished in the Central Plains and have been passed down to this day."
"Confucianism, in particular, has been the mainstream governing philosophy for thousands of years, and emperors throughout history have mostly governed the country based on Confucian principles..."
"Yes, Legalism also has a place."
"Many emperors also adhered to the principle of outwardly Confucianism but inwardly Legalism!"
"As for the Yin-Yang School, hehe, they only left behind some low-level legends."
Upon hearing this, Kazumi Nobutsuna immediately shook his head: "My lord, please forgive me. There is no such legend or record in our country."
"It is probably just an unofficial history embellished by the people of the Central Plains, a case of misinformation passed down through generations."
"Our country has its own heritage and has expanded its territory on its own. It was not built by outsiders. Xin Gang dares not contradict our lord, but that is the truth."
Seeing Uezumi Nobutsuna's rebuttal, Xinghun and the other two not only did not think that Li Ping's "He Life Crossing" was weak, but were even more afraid.
This kind of hypnosis was so thorough that even though Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had the utmost respect for his lord, Rihei, he was still able to speak out and refute based on his own will, thus retaining his complete and independent personality.
Li Ping wasn't angry; he simply said to Kamitsuzumi Nobutsuna, "You just don't know it!"
He didn't actually know if this was how the Japanese branch of this timeline came about, but that didn't stop Li Ping from saying it.
He continued, "There is a huge hibiscus tree on this ship, as well as a large cherry blossom forest... This is the origin of the name Fusang for Japan, and the cherry blossoms were brought by Xu Fu when he sailed east."
"The Yin-Yang School also has a Moon Goddess, whom you will venerate as Tsukuyomi... You'll know whether you believe it or not when you meet her."
"On the ship also stands a colossal nine-headed mechanical beast, which you call the Yamata no Orochi..."
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna simply shook his head; though he didn't believe Li Ping's words, he didn't refute them further.
Seeing that Li Ping's words were reasonable and well-founded, Xinghun and the other two were somewhat convinced. Could it be true?
Our Yin-Yang School has disappeared from the Central Plains, so why do we have to go to a remote island to amuse ourselves?
Taoism and Confucianism became the mainstream in the Central Plains?
With Xinghun's pride and arrogance, how could he possibly accept this?!
He looked at Li Ping: "What exactly do you mean by saying all this?"
Li Ping said, "What I mean is, your Yin-Yang School has gone down the wrong path. Why did you leave Taoism in the first place? To break the barrier between heaven and man? But you haven't done that."
"Have you heard of Guang Chengzi? In another timeline, Guang Chengzi created the extraordinary skill 'The Longevity Formula,' shattered the void himself, and truly became an immortal."
"If you follow me, I will allow you to read about these kinds of miraculous feats in the future."
Becoming an immortal?
Xinghun and the others' pupils suddenly contracted.
It should be noted that even with Donghuang Taiyi's strength, he was only at the near-immortal level, while Guangchengzi from another timeline actually became an immortal? Is it possible for later generations to become immortals?!
Xinghun was finally moved: "Is this true?"
Li Ping said, "Absolutely no exaggeration!"
In Xinghun's view, a master like Li Ping would never lie to him.
Given Xinghun's pride and arrogance, there was absolutely no way he would have betrayed the Yin Yang Clan and followed others, but Li Ping's strength was truly too great.
Even Donghuang Taiyi might only be on par with Li Ping, or perhaps even evenly matched.
Faced with such a master, his arrogance vanished by more than half!
Moreover, Li Ping offered the bait that the Yin-Yang School had no future and that he possessed the method to achieve immortality...
More importantly, the power of stars in this world is so scarce that it is impossible to obtain the power of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, or even that such power does not exist at all. The hope of the Yin-Yang School is gone!
So, he finally decided to go for it!
The only concern is whether Lord Donghuang has also come here.
But that's unlikely!
If Lord Donghuang had also come, it's impossible that he hadn't found us for so long!
Moreover, he had already realized that Li Ping's patience was about to run out, and if he refused again, he would probably be controlled by Li Ping and end up like Uezumi Nobutsuna.
He then bowed and said, "Star Soul greets Your Majesty."
The Grand Master of Fate was in a state of utter confusion; she was extremely loyal to Donghuang Taiyi.
But now that Lord Xinghun has surrendered, and more importantly, Lord Donghuang hasn't come looking for him after all this time, it's possible that Lord Donghuang never even came to the future...
Finally, she bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, my lord!"
Shao Siming bowed in return, but remained silent.
Li Ping looked down at the approaching fleet and said, "They're here. Let's deal with them first..."
"What if we manage to fix the ship's engine? Won't we still need people to operate the mechanisms?"
"Aren't these Ouchi soldiers just readily available labor?"
