The Emperor's Way Is Extraordinary

No matter how much you control the sky with your hands, whether you have power over the world, how much money you have, how rich you are, you will not be able to escape the birth, aging, illness and death of this world. You will eventually turn into dust and dissipate with the wind. After hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand years, there will be no trace of you left in this world. Everything you gain will be like floating clouds. You came to this world naked, and you will leave naked in the end, unable to take away a single speck of dust from this world... But if you were given a chance to pursue eternity, would you give up everything to pursue it? Eternity, longevity, has been pursued by emperors, generals, and wealthy merchants since ancient times. In 219 BC, Xu Shi wrote to the First Emperor and said: "There are three fairy mountains on the sea, one is called Penglai, one is called Abbot, and one is called Jianzhou. The gods live on the mountains. He asked the First Emperor to let him take the boy with him. The virgins went to these three sacred mountains to search for immortals and the elixir of immortality. Yingzheng believed Xu Shi's words and sent three thousand boys and girls to prepare food, clothing, medicine and farming tools for three years to follow Xu Shi into the sea to seek immortality. However, Xu Shi disappeared after going to sea, and the emperor later sent people to search for it, but to no avail.
