Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

This task was a waste of his talents; it was far less satisfying than conquering cities and territories.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew down from the sky and landed in his hand, transforming into a communication jade talisman. Han Xin scanned it with his divine sense, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!

"Excellent! Well done, Your Majesty Ying Xuan!"

Han Xin slapped the saddle hard, a smug yet ruthless smile spreading across his face.

"Bianliang has surrendered! Emperor Huizong has opened the city gates!"

He turned around abruptly, his gaze sweeping across the generals behind him like lightning.

"Order! The entire army breaks camp! Target—Liao Kingdom!"

"General?"

The lieutenant was taken aback.

"His Majesty's decree is to stop the Liao army and take over the Song army..."

"The decree has changed!"

Han Xin interrupted him, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"Bianliang has surrendered, and the Song Dynasty no longer exists! What is there to take over the Song army? His Majesty's new decree: I, the commander, am ordered to lead the army into Liao! We shall plunder their cattle, sheep, and horses, seize their gold and silver mines, and capture their able-bodied men as slaves!"
All Liao men aged fifteen to fifty are to be captured and used as laborers for the construction of the Great Qin's Straight Road! Liao women must also be selected to alleviate the shortage of able-bodied men for marriage in Great Qin!

He paused, then turned his gaze to the Song army's border camp in the distance.

"As for those Song border troops... Hmph! Issue the order: All Song army officers of the rank of colonel and above shall report to my tent before nightfall! Those who fail to arrive by the deadline shall be punished for disobeying orders and executed on the spot!"
Furthermore, dispatch a detachment to immediately breach the Liao army's vanguard camp. I, the commander, wish to remain here and watch how the Liao people flee in disarray!

"I will obey your orders!"

The lieutenant's spirits lifted, and he immediately accepted the order and left.

The Qin army camp instantly erupted in excitement, a chilling atmosphere rising to the sky.

Han Xin rode his horse slowly to the edge of the high slope, looking down at the continuous camps of the Song army below, a cold smile on his lips.

He waited there, waiting for the Song generals to kneel down, and waiting to see how the Liao camp would be trampled.

Northwest, Western Army Camp.

Lu Ze, clad in black armor, stood beneath the central army banner.

He had just received news of Bianliang's surrender, but his face showed little joy; instead, his brows were furrowed.

Before him stretched a vast, heavily fortified Western Army camp, extending for dozens of miles.

This army was the last elite force of the Song Dynasty. They fought against the Western Xia and Tubo for many years and were fierce and skilled in battle, far superior to the fancy but ineffective imperial guards of Bianliang.

"His Majesty's decree: to take over the Western Army?"

Lu Ze muttered to himself, his eyes sharp.

"How could such a fierce and ruthless army bow down and obey orders simply because of a letter of surrender from Bianliang? If not handled properly, it will surely lead to great chaos!"

Without further hesitation, he gave the order in a deep voice.

"Give the order! Full army, deploy! Nock your bows and crossbows, draw your swords and spears! Surround the Western Army camp! No one may enter or leave without my order! Anyone who disobeys will be shot!"

"Follow the order!"

The messenger rushed off. Soon, a deep bugle call sounded, and tens of thousands of Qin cavalry dispersed silently and swiftly, their sharp arrows gleaming coldly in the sunlight, pointing towards every exit of the Western Army camp.

An invisible, suffocating aura of killing intent instantly enveloped the entire Western Army camp.

Inside the camp, a commotion immediately broke out. The Western Army soldiers looked at the densely packed, murderous Qin army outside the camp with suspicion and uncertainty, each gripping their weapons tightly.

Northwest, above a dried-up river valley.

Ying Xuan stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering.

Below him lies the vast and barren Loess Plateau, crisscrossed by gullies and sparsely vegetated.

Although hundreds of reservoirs have been built to bring in water vapor, a more thorough transformation is still needed to make this land truly capable of supporting hundreds of millions of migrants.

"Fossils turned into mud..."

Ying Xuan murmured, slowly raising his hands, his ten fingers flying, forming one mysterious and profound hand seal after another.

A vast and powerful primordial spirit, capable of changing the world, enveloped the area within a radius of hundreds of miles below, like an invisible giant hand.

The earth let out a dull groan!
Under Ying Xuan's will, the rocky mountain, as hard as iron, began to soften and deform, like a block of wax thrown into a furnace!
The enormous ravine was smoothed and filled by an invisible force.

The towering hills were leveled and reshaped.

The originally steep slopes were forcibly transformed into gentle terraced fields.

The dried-up riverbed was widened and deepened, and the bottom was compacted and leveled to form a natural water-retaining basin!
Endless, fertile soil, as if carefully sifted, was extracted from the molten rock under Ying Xuan's magical control, evenly covering every inch of the transformed land! The fertile soil, several feet deep, exuded the unique fragrance of earth.

This is not a simple transfer, but a forced change of the material form using supreme Taoist techniques, turning stone into soil!

Its consumption was far greater than that of previous water diversion and dam construction.

As the Yingxuan Dharma Seal continued to change, one barren and desolate piece of land after another was rapidly transformed into flat, fertile, and arable fields!
New, wider, and deeper waterways were opened up, connecting with the previously built reservoirs, like the lifeblood of the earth, delivering the life-giving water to this newly born fertile land.

Ying Xuan's face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes remained calm and deep.

He knew that the world's progress was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Heaven and earth absorb violent energy, and the living beings in the world, especially those powerful martial artists and cultivators, can effectively transform, absorb, and tame this violent energy during the cultivation process, turning it into gentle spiritual energy that nourishes the world.

The contribution of a martial arts master to the world far surpasses that of thousands of ordinary people.

Therefore, promoting martial arts and enhancing the strength of the entire population is also a key link in consolidating the foundation of the world and accelerating its advancement.

While continuously casting his grand spell of "turning fossils into mud" to transform the northwestern land, he also spared a sliver of his attention to monitor the movements of Bianliang, the Song-Liao border, and the Western Army camp.

The pace of imperial expansion is proceeding in tandem with his immense power to transform the world.

Ying Xuan stood on the newly grown fertile soil of the Northwest, feeling the vibrant life emanating from the earth beneath his feet.

His mind sank into the origin of the world and he clearly "saw" that the Great Qin World had now stabilized at the first-order high level, and the world power accumulated in the origin of the world had reached seventy-one parts.

There is still a gap between the required one hundred copies for advancing to the second-tier world.

The worlds of Fengyun and Zhuxian... those second-tier worlds with more perfect laws and more abundant spiritual energy have always been his goals.

"A share of global power..."

Ying Xuan silently recited in his heart
Just now, in order to completely transform the arid northwest, he used his supreme Taoist magic to "turn fossils into mud," reshaping mountains and rivers, and creating fertile land, expending a precious portion of the world's primordial power.

This power was enough to cause a small world to collapse instantly. But he had no regrets.

This move has improved the environment and nourished the groundwater system, and in the future, this land will be able to support hundreds of millions of living beings.

These creatures multiply and thrive, giving back to heaven and earth, and will eventually replenish this depletion, and even bring more. He looked up at the sky.

The core array plate of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation floats above the solitary peak, with the illusory images of one hundred and eight stars shining brightly.

It was the dead of night, and in the sky above, the 108 real stars seemed to be summoned, each shooting out a beam of starlight that was difficult to see with the naked eye but contained the immense power of the stars' origin, traversing the endless void and precisely injecting it into the great formation!

The great array shone brightly!

The entire formation is like a huge energy vortex, not only frantically absorbing the primordial power of these stars, but also using it as a guide to actively draw more primordial and violent chaotic energy from the chaotic void outside the world!

These chaotic energies were filtered and transformed by the great array. Part of them transformed into pure stellar power that merged into the core of the array plate, while the other part transformed into gentle primordial energy of heaven and earth, spreading out and merging into the air of the Great Qin world.

Inside the palace, the newly planted ginseng, nourished by the rich vital energy, grew at an astonishing rate.

In just a few days, the leaves have grown to the size of a fan, the roots are thick and strong, and the medicinal properties are pure, comparable to ginseng that has grown for more than ten years.

Within the core space of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, the same type of ginseng, bathed in the rich environment of intertwined star power and incense offerings, grows at an even more terrifying rate. Its roots and stems are like jade, and its medicinal fragrance is condensed and does not dissipate. The spiritual energy it contains is no less than that of a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine in the outside world!

Ying Xuan stepped into the core space of the Star Array.

This is no longer a mere illusion of stars, but a mysterious place that exists between reality and illusion, materialized from the power of stars and the power of incense and prayers.

The mountains are majestic, the waters are crystal clear, the vegetation is lush, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost palpable.

He had just stood still when two slender figures swept in front of him; they were Yaoyue and Lianxing.

The two women were stunningly beautiful, but their temperaments were quite different: Yaoyue was aloof and cold, while Lianxing was gentle and lively.

At this moment, the way they looked at Ying Xuan was filled with an undisguised longing.

"His Majesty."

Inviting the moon to speak first, her voice clear and cold like an icy spring.

"We sisters are deeply grateful to His Majesty for taking us in, providing us with a place to live, and even granting us this blessed land for cultivation. However..."

She paused, then looked directly at Ying Xuan.

"Our cultivation methods are indeed exquisite, but witnessing Your Majesty's display of divine power, we realize the vastness of the world and the breadth of martial arts. We humbly request Your Majesty to impart to us... the path Your Majesty cultivates!"

Lianxing also gave a graceful bow and said softly.

“Your Majesty, what my sister said is also what Lianxing thinks. We are not content with the constraints of the cultivation methods in this world, and we wish to follow in Your Majesty’s footsteps to explore higher realms.”

Ying Xuan looked at them, his eyes calm and unwavering.

"The path I have chosen is a self-forged one, the road ahead is unknown and fraught with peril. Its foundation is also quite different from what you have cultivated. If you force your way through it, you risk destroying your foundation and dying as a result."

"In the future, I will find a legitimate cultivation world, extract its essence, and then select superior cultivation methods for you all. That would be the safest course of action."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

"Is Your Majesty's statement merely an excuse? Even though I am dull-witted, I can see that Your Majesty's own cultivation method is profound and unfathomable, far beyond what ordinary inheritances can achieve."

"Since Your Majesty was able to create such a heaven-reaching path, why can't you pass it on to us? Could it be... that you don't trust my sister and me?"

Lianxing also bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with resentment and anticipation.

Ying Xuan remained silent for a moment.

He was not hiding anything; rather, the path he chose was fundamentally about integrating the rules of various realms, using the power of the world as a foundation. This was extremely risky and demanding in terms of temperament and comprehension.

Although Yaoyue and Lianxing have excellent aptitude, directly cultivating his path would be extremely dangerous.

But seeing the determination in the eyes of the two women, he sighed inwardly.

"That's fine."

Ying Xuan raised his hand, and a piece of smooth, flawless white jade appeared out of thin air in his palm.

He joined his fingers like a sword, gathering divine thought and primal power at his fingertips, and quickly began to carve on the jade.

Mysterious runes are imprinted within, emanating a profound aura.

A moment later, the jade transformed into a thin jade book.

Ying Xuan handed it to Yao Yue.

"This is a method of body refinement and foundation building that I created based on my own path and combined with some insights from other realms. It is called the 'Primordial Limitless Body'. This method emphasizes the foundation and seeks transformation. It is extremely dangerous. Once you start practicing it, there is no turning back."

You two can try to figure it out yourselves, but remember, do what you can. If you feel something is amiss, stop immediately!

A startling light flashed in Yaoyue's eyes as she snatched the jade book. Her cold fingertips touched the warm jade, sensing the vast information and profound Daoist principles contained within. For the first time, an uncontrollable excitement appeared on her usually aloof face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Yaoyue will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"

She couldn't wait to sit cross-legged, place the jade book between her eyebrows, and immerse her consciousness in it.

Lianxing also leaned closer to watch, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

The cultivation techniques information in the jade book flooded into Yaoyue's mind.

That's a completely different philosophy of cultivation!

Instead of cultivating internal strength or refining true qi, it uses extreme methods to draw upon the purest and most violent energy in the world (the power of stars, the power of incense and wishes, and even chaotic energy) to directly temper every particle of the physical body!
Through countless trials and tribulations, shedding its mortal form, it forges an unparalleled foundation for the Dao!

Yaoyue was a martial arts fanatic with an unwavering will.

Without hesitation, she followed the instructions in the cultivation method, circulating her inner energy and attempting to draw upon the extremely dense stellar power and incense offerings within the core space of the great formation!

boom!
Like pouring cold water into boiling oil! A surge of violent energy instantly flooded her body!

Yaoyue felt as if her entire body, including her meridians, bones, flesh, and even every cell, was being frantically cut, torn, and burned by countless red-hot steel blades!
Her refined internal energy, cultivated over many years, instantly dissipated and vanished under the impact of this external force!
"puff!"

Yaoyue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning ashen, and her breath rapidly weakened!

Her once full figure withered at a visible rate, her skin lost its luster, like a withered flower.

"elder sister!"

Lianxing was shocked and was about to step forward.

"Don't touch her!"

Ying Xuan shouted in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Yao Yue.

The pain of losing all her internal energy and the excruciating pain of her body being torn apart almost made Yaoyue faint.

But what's even more terrifying is the intense, irresistible hunger that comes with it, a hunger that stems from an instinct for survival!
It felt like every cell in my body was screaming for energy!
A huge amount of energy is needed to fill the enormous deficit caused by the forced "hollowing out"!
Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot, her reason teetering on the brink of collapse amidst the raging tide of hunger, and a violent aura emanated from her, like a ferocious beast on the verge of death!

Just as Yaoyue was about to lose control, Yingxuan made a move.

He flashed and appeared behind Yaoyue. (End of Chapter)
