Da Qin: Become stronger and immortal by picking up attributes from the battlefield

Chapter 572 The Heavenly Bell Rings, Court Discussions Begin!

From beneath the Heavenly Palace!
Qin Xuanzang reappeared in Xianyang City.

The golden robe, bathed in sunlight, shimmered with an inner and outer radiance of Buddhist light.

Before ascending to the Heavenly Palace, Xuanzang was still an ordinary mortal who, though possessing Buddhist teachings, lacked the power of the Buddha.

After descending from the Heavenly Palace.

It has already changed.

Having integrated the cultivation of nine lifetimes, although not yet fully integrated, he already possesses the strength of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, thanks to the blessing and the robe bestowed by Zhao, Xuanzang did not exude any Buddhist aura, and seemed to remain just an ordinary person.

After it reappears!
The people in the city saw Xuanzang wearing a golden kasaya and holding a monk's staff.

In an instant, countless gazes converged upon this great and virtuous monk, their eyes filled with admiration and reverence.

"From today onwards."

Qin Xuanzang felt countless gazes from all over the city. After glancing around, he spoke, his voice echoing throughout every corner of Xianyang: "This humble monk will represent the Great Qin to travel to the West to spread the Dharma."

"On the day of success, the Buddhist teachings of our Great Qin will be spread throughout the world."

"Amitabha."

The words fell.

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and chanted Buddhist mantras, his expression firm and solemn.

"Great Master Xuanzang, a man of great virtue."

"Respectfully seeing off Master Xuanzang."

"Respectfully seeing off Master Xuanzang."

May Master Xuanzang have a safe journey.

……

The sounds rose and fell, echoing over Xianyang City.

Countless people spontaneously saw Xuanzang off, their faces beaming with sincere blessings.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xuanzang, carrying his staff, walked step by step towards the outskirts of Xianyang City.

This truly marked the beginning of the westward journey.

It wasn't a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but rather a mission to spread Buddhist teachings.

This place is a long way from the strategic pass in the west.

That long journey might be an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people.

However, once Xuanzang took that step, distance no longer mattered.

Because someone will secretly help him shorten the distance and reach the place where the two continents meet as soon as possible.

As Xuanzang left the Heavenly Palace and headed out of Xianyang, Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng exchanged a smile inside the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.

"The grand show has finally begun."

Ying Zheng chuckled, his smile revealing boundless anticipation.

"Summon the civil and military officials and begin the court meeting," Zhao Feng said. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

This great calamity has begun, and the time for the true expansion of the Great Qin is also approaching. Such a momentous event must naturally be taken very seriously.

"Preach my will."

Ying Zheng roared towards the outside of the hall, his voice like thunder, making the air outside tremble: "Summon the ministers and begin the court meeting."

As the sound falls.

Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Bell outside the Heavenly Palace rang.

The ancient bell tolled, its sound melodious and grand, like a call from the distant past.

The sound spread and reached the entire city of Xianyang.

The sound of this bell can be clearly heard in every street and every corner of Xianyang City.

Even the Zizhong bells of all the states in the Qin Dynasty resonated with this.

For a time, the majestic sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire land of Qin.

"The Heavenly Bell Tolls."

"Something big is about to happen."

As the Heavenly Bell resounded through the void, all the people of Qin who heard its sound looked up at the Heavenly Palace in the sky with awe.

Countless people looked up at the Heavenly Palace, their eyes filled with anticipation and awe for the unknown.

at the same time!

From within Xianyang City, streaks of light rose into the sky, flying towards the Heavenly Palace.

These streaks of light were all dazzling, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, each radiating an extremely powerful aura.

It's totally impossible to see through.

And it's not just about flying with supernatural powers.

Some even tore through the void and arrived above the Heavenly Palace, outside the Heavenly Gate. The moment the void was torn open, the entire world seemed to tremble.

The imperial bell tolls, gathering the assembled officials.

For the Qin Dynasty, this was something they hadn't heard of in a long time.

Today, the Heavenly Emperor must have some important matters to arrange.

And this time!
The heavenly gates opened wide, and a powerful aura rushed towards us.

The aura emanating from them was one of majesty and solemnity. One by one, the ministers gathered directly into the Heavenly Palace. This included not only those in Xianyang, but also the governors stationed throughout the Qin territory, all of whom had received the imperial decree to enter the Heavenly Palace for deliberation.

The twice-yearly court meetings were not only attended by ministers from the capital, but also by governors and regional officials who were stationed in various regions.

In an instant, the entire void of Xianyang City trembled.

Those with powerful cultivation tore through the void to arrive, their figures appearing and disappearing in the void rifts, like messengers from another world. Those with weaker cultivation arrived via teleportation arrays.

The teleportation array flashed, and people kept emerging from it, heading towards the Heavenly Palace.

Above the entire city of Xianyang, powerful martial arts aura, immortal pressure, and all kinds of cultivation paths were displayed.

These powerful auras intertwined, forming a formidable force that also showcased the might of the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty of today is no longer the Qin Dynasty of the past.

With its powerful national strength and countless powerful individuals, it has become a formidable force in this world that cannot be ignored.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, Ying Zheng and his son waited calmly.

Ying Zheng sat on the supreme imperial throne, his eyes deep and calm, as if he could see through everything.

Zhao Feng stood on the steps, exuding a sharp aura, honed through countless battles.

The palace doors would only open after all the officials had gathered.

This convergence process is naturally very fast.

Soon, thousands of ministers had gathered outside the Heavenly Palace.

Today, the Qin Dynasty has already appointed more than a thousand governors to govern its territory.

Besides them, there were also state generals who held military power over a state.

Natural court discussions can also reach such a scale.

"Has everyone arrived?"

Lu Buwei stood with his hands behind his back on the steps in front of the Heavenly Palace and asked loudly.

As the Prime Minister of Qin, his voice was steady and powerful, naturally carrying the dignity of someone who had been in officialdom for a long time. As his voice fell, his gaze swept over the assembled officials below, as if he wanted to take in the state of each and every one of them.

"Go back to Xiangbang."

Xiao He stepped forward and loudly replied, "The ministers of the six ministries of our Great Qin and the governors of all the prefectures have all arrived."

"very good."

Lü Buwei nodded, asking no further questions, a satisfied expression on his face. At the same time, Wang Jian, standing beside Lü Buwei, spoke up: "Have all the military officers arrived?"

Compared to Lü Buwei's scholarly demeanor, Wang Jian exuded a martial aura, majestic and imposing, with his eyes still incredibly sharp.

"Returning to the capital, Commandant."

Huan Yi immediately stepped forward and reported, "All the generals of the major camps and the governors of various prefectures have arrived."

With both civil and military officials gathered, all the ministers present had arrived.

"Everyone has arrived."

Wang Jian turned around and looked at Ren Xiaodao, who was on duty outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, and the Crown Prince."

Ren Xiao immediately bowed and paid homage to the main hall, saying, "All the councilors have arrived. Shall we open the gates of the Heavenly Palace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, *whoosh*!

The once tightly closed gates of the Heavenly Palace began to slowly open.
When it is turned on, it makes a dull sound.

Then, the Heavenly Palace opened.

The ministers outside began to walk orderly into the Heavenly Palace.

Their steps were neat and solemn, and each person carried a sense of reverence.

Thousands of people attending court discussions—this would have been unimaginable in the mortal world of yesteryear, where the court would have been packed with people.

However, the Great Qin Heavenly Palace Hall today contains even more than a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru.

The interior of this hall is vast and boundless; it can accommodate not only a few thousand people, but also tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

As the courtiers entered the hall, Ying Zheng sat majestically on the throne, while Zhao Feng stood on the steps.

today!

The Emperor and Crown Prince of Qin both attended court.

This has not happened for many years.

After all, Zhao Feng had been killing and strengthening himself ever since he entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, and rarely had the opportunity to participate in court meetings.

Therefore, when the court officials gathered today and saw Zhao Feng standing on the steps, every minister was excited. Their eyes were filled with respect and excitement. Some ministers even trembled slightly because they could not suppress their excitement at seeing the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects and wish you a long and prosperous life."

"Your subjects pay their respects to the Crown Prince and wish him a long and healthy life."

All the civil and military officials bowed to the two people on the high throne. The voices of thousands of people gathered together, and the entire Heavenly Palace resounded with a solemn and majestic sound.

The sound was like a surging tide, wave after wave, its roar shaking the mountains.

"Gentlemen, you may dispense with the formalities."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and raised his hand, his smile carrying an imperial majesty.

Looking down at the ministers in the main hall, he also felt a silent sense of pride.

The Great Qin Dynasty has only been on the path of cultivation for less than a thousand years, yet it now possesses such formidable strength that it can shake the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court. This is the source of the Great Qin Dynasty's power and profound foundation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Crown Prince."

"Today's court meeting is two months earlier than before. Do any of you have anything to report?"

Ying Zheng asked loudly, his gaze sweeping across the court, his voice echoing throughout the hall with an unquestionable majesty.

"Your Majesty, this is my report."

Lü Buwei stepped forward and began his report with a smile.

"Now, our Great Qin is strong and prosperous, and the country is peaceful and the people are at peace. Apart from some minor troubles caused by evil cultivators, there are no other problems in the various states and counties. They are just some trivial matters."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng smiled at Lü Buwei's report and did not question it, after all, the Qin Dynasty was indeed in such a state at present.

Each governor governs the affairs of a state, and in order to better check and balance the officials and bureaucrats of the realm, the Yan Court and the Black Ice Terrace have become institutions for inspecting the entire realm.

Yan Ting is responsible for targeting demons and evil spirits within the Qin territory, including those who have committed crimes and triggered the law, and even cultivators.

After all, the Great Qin has now fully entered the era of cultivation. Within the territory of the Great Qin, immortals are not necessarily the strongest. However, living beings have seven emotions and six desires. Once they have power, they will have ambitions and greed, and violations of the law will occur one after another.

Therefore, the punishment for the chief cultivator of the Yan Court.

Yan Ting was tasked with maintaining order in the Qin Dynasty.

The Black Ice Guard was responsible for supervising officials within the Qin territory.

To avoid collusion among officials, the Black Ice Guard was directly under the command of the current heir Zhao Qi and the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.

Furthermore, in order to enable the common people to take measures against officials, a special Black Ice Platform was even created on the Heavenly Mystery Mirror.

The Heavenly Mystery Mirror floated above the Great Qin Dynasty, radiating a mysterious light.

If you have any grievances, you can contact the Black Ice Platform directly through the Heavenly Mystery Mirror.

Of course, if someone makes a false accusation or even a false report, they will be punished by the Black Ice Guard once the facts are verified. The punishment ranges from imprisonment to execution.

The Qin Dynasty today can be said to have the most stringent and rigorous laws.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to achieve such a prosperous period was precisely because the Qin laws were implemented and the rules governed all living beings within the Qin Dynasty.

In every corner of the Qin Dynasty, one could feel the majesty of the law. It was like an invisible net, covering the entire country and keeping everything in order.

Of course, if there really is a life-or-death feud, a real enemy, or even a sect conflict.

The Qin Dynasty did not necessarily force them to reconcile; there were life-or-death arenas in every state and county.

As long as the local government is notified and a life-or-death battle agreement is signed, sects can fight to the death, and individuals can also fight to the death. Moreover, the victor can obtain everything from the other side.

In this chaotic world, the Qin Dynasty's ability to maintain such a balance between power and restraint is truly unique.

"I believe that the Great Qin is stable."

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, as if everything was under his control.

"His Majesty."

Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng expectantly, his face shining with excitement, and asked, "Is today's court meeting held because of Master Xuanzang's journey to the west?"

"Should our Great Qin Dynasty launch a military campaign against the west?"

As he spoke, Wang Jian's voice carried a hint of urgency, clearly indicating his anticipation for the war.

These words drew the attention of not only Wang Jian, but also all the officials and civil servants of the court.

Both civil officials and military generals were visibly excited.

Although civil officials do not need to go to the battlefield to fight, once the Qin Dynasty gains a larger territory, there will be countless more governors and regional officials who will carry on the fortune and receive even greater blessings.

The stronger Qin became, the stronger they became. The generals, in particular, yearned for battle, eager to achieve glory on the battlefield and expand Qin's territory.

Because once the war begins, the Qin Dynasty will gain a larger territory, and the resources it provides to its subjects will also increase.

The key was that the entire Qin state was united as one.

Seventy percent of the resources acquired by the Qin Dynasty would actually fall into the hands of the Qin subjects and even the army, while only thirty percent would go to the national treasury for reserves.

This distribution method greatly motivated the officials and the army, inspiring them to strive for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng smiled upon hearing Wang Jian's words.

Zhao Feng, who was on the steps, also smiled.

"It seems that for the past five hundred years, our Great Qin army has truly desired war!"

Zhao Feng said with a touch of emotion.

"Return to your highness."

Wang Jian smiled and said with a touch of emotion, "Since we set out to conquer the East Sea more than 500 years ago, and after suppressing many disobedient cultivators, aquatic demons and other groups in the East Sea for the next two hundred years, our Great Qin army has not fought a war for more than 300 years."

"Although our Great Qin has entered the realm of cultivation, most of our elite warriors ascended from the mortal realm. Three hundred years is indeed too long for us."

As Wang Jian finished speaking, many military officers in the court echoed his sentiments.
