Hearing Zhao Feng's words,
Ying Zheng chuckled, "Distant alliances, nearby conquests gradual annexation!"
"The Earthly Immortal Realm is vast, divided into four great continents."
"Even the smallest corner of it is comparable to the entire mortal world in territory. Countless races populate the Earthly Immortal Realm, with an endless number of inhabitants."
"I will first choose a chaotic continent as my starting point, conquer it by force, gather fortune, and strengthen my cultivation."
"From within the Earthly Immortal Realm, I shall establish Great Qin's dominion." Zhao Feng's expression was solemn as he spoke.
Ying Zheng remained silent, but his face revealed a trace of worry.
Clearly
He was not at ease.
"Of course,"
"I cherish my life the most."
"So, Father, rest assured even if I were to perish in the Earthly Immortal Realm, I wouldn't truly die. My soul has already merged with the Dao of Humanity. As long as Great Qin stands, as long as humanity endures, I shall be immortal."
"Moreover, today, let me show you the true contingency I have prepared for Great Qin over the years."
Zhao Feng smiled.
With a single thought,
A portal opened
Ying Zheng suddenly felt an indescribable lightness, as if his entire being had been transported into another world.
Of course
It was because he completely trusted his son.
Within the Small World
Ying Zheng stood in the void.
Before his eyes
A massive city stood tall, housing a population of over one million.
But more than that
As he extended his divine sense, he discovered that this land was home to over ten million people.
All of them were of the Huaxia race.
"Is this... another world?" Ying Zheng asked in astonishment.
"Father,"
"This is Great Qin's final retreat the last sanctuary for our Huaxia people in this world."
"This is another world, one I have fully seized control over."
"Although this world is not yet as vast as the Divine Continent, it is more than enough to shelter billions of lives."
"In this world, fifty years pass for every one year in the Divine Continent." Zhao Feng's voice echoed in Ying Zheng's ears.
"So, this is the training ground?" Ying Zheng immediately understood.
"Precisely."
"I have been taking advantage of the time differential within this small world," Zhao Feng explained.
"The development of martial arts in this world surpasses that of the Divine Continent."
"Divine Ability Realm, Celestial Phenomenon Realm"
"There are even warriors who have reached the realm of Shattered Void."
Ying Zheng sensed the warriors within the city below there were many powerful cultivators.
"They were the first group to enter the Small World elite shadow guards of the Yan Court. After I obtained this world, I began gathering refugees from the Divine Continent, bringing them here and allowing the Yan Court to govern them."
"They were taught martial arts, alchemy, artifact forging, and formation techniques."
"A few years ago, after I discovered the time dilation, the population of this world began to skyrocket. Today, it has already exceeded ten million." Zhao Feng smiled.
"The spiritual energy of this world is even denser than that of the Divine Continent."
"No wonder the Heavenly Profound Mirror has been able to continuously supply Great Qin with pills and cultivation resources. This entire world is practically a massive medicinal garden, a spiritual fruit orchard."
"The countless pills and divine weapons traded through the Heavenly Profound Mirror they must have all come from this world, right?"
"Feng'er..."
"Great Qin has been a burden to you."
Ying Zheng sighed, his voice carrying a touch of emotion.
"A burden?"
"How could it be?"
"If not for Great Qin, I would never have reached my current realm." Zhao Feng chuckled.
"What do you need me to do?" Ying Zheng asked directly.
"For now, nothing. Although I plan to retaliate against the Earthly Immortal Realm, I still need to prepare an army."
"One day in the Celestial Realm equals one year in the Mortal Realm."
"I will select an army of 500,000 and send them into the Small World to train for several years before leading them into the Earthly Immortal Realm." Zhao Feng explained.
"Then we'll proceed as you say."
"I will have your father-in-law mobilize 500,000 elite soldiers to train within the Small World." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
Zhao Feng smiled.
"Besides that, Father, I also need to grant you the authority to open the Small World portal."
"Only by doing this can I truly connect Great Qin, the Small World, and even the Immortal Realm."
"This way, Great Qin can continue leveraging the time flow advantage of the Small World to rapidly grow stronger, while I can also draw manpower directly from within."
The existence of the Small World was akin to a strategic hub.
Before obtaining a spatial seed,
Zhao Feng had been unable to transfer control of the Small World's portal to anyone else.
This was because the Small World existed in an esoteric dimension
Zhao Feng could open the portal to let people in, but the world itself was not inherently part of this plane.
However, after acquiring the spatial seed,
The Small World had now fully integrated the Laws of Space into its World Laws granting Zhao Feng full authority over it.
As a result
The Small World would now serve an even greater purpose.
"Good," Ying Zheng replied firmly.
Ying Zheng immediately nodded.
After leaving the small world, Zhao Feng granted him the authority to open its portal.
In the future, even when Zhao Feng reached the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Great Qin Dynasty would remain closely connected to him without any disruptions.
However…
The Great Qin Dynasty would now shift from defense to offense, preparing to make its mark in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Seizing fortune and destiny!
Inside the Crown Prince's Residence
"With our advancement to a mid-tier Imperial Dynasty, the attributes of the Xuan Bird Totem have unlocked another selection."
Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Feng immediately remembered this.
Without hesitation, he summoned the attributes of the Xuan Bird Totem.
Soldiers: Harnesses the power of the nation's fortune to enhance the military's combat strength. A high-tier dynasty can increase the army's power by 80%.
Abundance: Ensures bountiful harvests within the nation, increasing agricultural output by 80%.
Cultivation: Enhances the cultivation speed of all citizens by 80%. (Already chosen)
Spirit: Increases the probability of newborns possessing cultivation talent to 80%. (Already chosen)
"Abundance!"
"Within the Nine Provinces Barrier, protected by national fortune, natural disasters are rare, and the land is fertile."
"This can be set aside for now."
"But Soldiers is my choice this time! An 80% increase in combat strength nearly doubling our power!"
"Even without me leading the troops, their strength will be greatly amplified, which is crucial in battles."
With only two totem attributes left to select, Zhao Feng didn't hesitate and directly chose Soldiers.
Immediately, an invisible force of national fortune was bestowed upon every soldier of Great Qin. Normally, this power remained dormant, but in times of war, it would fully manifest.
Apart from Soldiers, the Cultivation attribute ensured that all citizens of Great Qin gained an 80% boost in cultivation speed.
As for the most crucial Spirit attribute, now 80% of newborns possessed cultivation talent whether in martial arts, immortality, or Buddhism.
In the future, as this percentage increased, every newborn could potentially be born with cultivation talent, and the next step would be improving the strength of that talent.
"Claiming My Rewards"
Zhao Feng accessed his status panel.
"The Great Qin Dynasty has advanced to an Imperial Dynasty."
"Reward: One Tier-Six Treasure Chest."
"Human Dao Fortune Recompensation."
"Pick-Up Reward: 500,000 points in all attributes."
"Would the host like to claim these rewards?"
Zhao Feng wasn't surprised by such a massive reward.
Every time the dynasty advanced, the fortune it gained was fundamentally different.
Great Qin had now ascended to an Imperial Dynasty, and the next step would be the Heavenly Dynasty, the pinnacle of the mortal realm.
With each step up in national ranking, Zhao Feng would receive a powerful human dao fortune infusion, enhancing his abilities.
"Claim."
Without hesitation, Zhao Feng confirmed the rewards.
At that moment, a vast golden light descended upon him.
His Nine Revolutions Chaos Codex activated immediately.
Boundless spiritual energy surged in like a tidal wave, nourishing his body.
Zhao Feng once again entered a rapid phase of attribute growth.
Currently, at the third level of Nine Revolutions Chaos Codex, he gained 300 attribute points per day.
In a single year, he accumulated 100,000 total attributes.
Compared to immortals and gods in the Earthly Immortal Realm, who needed decades or even centuries to break through, Zhao Feng's progress was completely data-driven and unique to him.
At this moment, 500,000 attribute points fused into his being.
Zhao Feng's power surged wildly.
Finally!
As the 500,000 attribute points fully integrated into him…
A powerful Law aura radiated from Zhao Feng's body, with chaotic energy flowing around him.
The Five Elements Laws, Time, Space, Thunder, Soul, and Life
Numerous laws shimmered and intertwined.
Not only that
Zhao Feng's physical strength had now reached a level where a mere motion could shatter space and overturn the heavens.
He checked his status panel:
[Status Panel]

Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Chaos Codex [Third Realm]
"All attributes have surpassed 800,000! Once I reach one million, I will achieve a complete breakthrough!"
"With my current strength, even a Great Golden Immortal (Taiyi Jinxian) would be easy prey!"
"This All-Attributes Power truly transcends conventional cultivation realms!"
"With a single step, I can travel 800,000 miles…"
"So much for the fabled Somersault Cloud's 108,000-mile leap what a joke!"
Looking at his full attributes, Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile.
Such a massive boost in power his strength had skyrocketed!
"Host's full attributes have surpassed 800,000 points."
"Reward: Five Six-Tier Treasure Chests."
A prompt appeared on the interface.
"With these five, I now have a total of six treasure chests."
"Heaven's blessing."
"Let's see some big wins!"
Zhao Feng secretly anticipated the rewards.
Without hesitation, he commanded: "Open them all."
"Opening Six-Tier Treasure Chests."
"Obtained Postnatal Supreme Treasure: [Nine-Petal Black Lotus]."
"Obtained Innate Low-Grade Treasure: [Immortal Binding Rope]."
"Obtained Postnatal Supreme Treasure: [Nine-Petal Red Lotus]."
"Obtained Divine Ability: [Foresight of Heavenly Secrets]."
"Obtained Innate Low-Grade Treasure: [Demon-Locking Tower]."
"Obtained [Supreme Spiritual Vein]."
A series of notifications popped up on the interface.
"Well, looks like I've hit the jackpot with the Nine-Petal Lotus series."
"I got the Azure Lotus before, and now I have the Black and Red Lotus as well."
"If I keep going like this, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal would struggle to break through my defenses."
"The Immortal Binding Rope this is the real deal."
"And the Demon-Locking Tower has reached the innate level, which will come in handy in the Immortal Realm."
"As for the Supreme Spiritual Vein, this is great."
"My small world has already expanded to 200,000 miles, and the spiritual energy is spread out. This vein will be perfect for establishing a dedicated cultivation ground for Qin cultivators."
Zhao Feng quickly organized his spoils of war.
In summary
Massive profit!
Heavenly Court
At the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Jade Emperor, Haotian, stood with a grim expression, his chest filled with suppressed fury.
In front of him, an overwhelming force had gathered far greater than before.
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals!
They blanketed the entire sky, exuding a murderous aura so intense that the very void seemed to fall into a state of silence and destruction.
These were the elite forces of the Battle Division, responsible for exterminating demons and monsters in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Their hands had been stained with the blood of countless beings.
Among them
One thousand Celestial Immortals.
One hundred Golden Immortals.
One Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
This level of force
Unprecedented!
"Your Majesty!"
"The hundred thousand celestial soldiers have been assembled!"
"We are ready to descend and cleanse the mortal world of its demonic scourge!"
The leading Grand Luo Golden Immortal stepped forward, bowing with utmost respect.
"Wang Lingguan."
"You have the power of Grand Luo, a formidable cultivation. The mortal realm cannot withstand your full strength."
"If you must take action, you must ensure that the target is annihilated."
"I grant you the Demon-Slaying Sword to assist in this mission."
"Once you act, there must be no escape for the enemy!"
Haotian's gaze was solemn as he addressed the divine general before him.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"I will not disappoint the Heavenly Emperor."
"This campaign will see the Qin Kingdom in the mortal realm completely obliterated!"
"Any who stand in our way will perish!"
Wang Lingguan gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword, his expression is resolute.
Seeing this, Haotian nodded and summoned the Kunlun Mirror.
With a surge of divine power, the mirror shot out a beam of light, tearing open a portal in the void.
"Heavenly soldiers, hear my command!"
"Attack!"
Wang Lingguan roared as he pointed toward the portal ahead.
Under the leadership of their respective generals, the one hundred thousand celestial soldiers surged forward, charging into the spatial passageway.
In a matter of moments, they had all passed through.
With that, Haotian slowly withdrew his divine power.
The void portal closed.
"Hopefully, this time… there won't be any more mistakes."
Haotian gazed at the sealed space, a trace of concern flashing through his eyes.
The truth was
The losses they had suffered in the mortal realm were already far too great.
"Your Majesty!"
"This time, we will undoubtedly achieve victory and wipe out the Qin Kingdom!"
Standing beside Haotian, Li Jing holding his Pagoda spoke with utmost reverence.
At his side, a young figure gripping a long spear, whose gender was difficult to determine, shot Li Jing a cold, hateful glare from the corner of their eye.
However
The moment their gaze landed on the Pagoda in Li Jing's hand, their expression changed, revealing deep fear.
Clearly
They were instinctively terrified of this treasure.
"Let us hope so."
Haotian replied indifferently.
With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and returned to the Lingxiao Palace.
Yet, deep in his heart, thoughts swirled with uncertainty.
"If we still cannot eliminate them this time… then there is no doubt there exists a being in the mortal world who has surpassed the Grand Luo realm."
"If that is the case, trying to handle it within the mortal realm would be impossible."
"If this fails, I will have to seek out Laozi."
"If all else fails, I will have to make concessions to Tathagata Buddha."
"Only by pulling China fully into the Earthly Immortal Realm can we regain control over the mortal world!"
As this thought settled in his mind, a shadow of unease remained in Haotian's heart.
