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

The more cultivators there are, the stronger they become, and the more they nourish the origin of the Great Qin world, thus widening the path to advancement for the world.

If he always has to travel through the heavens alone to bring back resources, it will only be a temporary solution.

He turned and led his concubines into the tallest restaurant in the city.

Ignoring the innkeeper and waiter's suspicious gazes (under the influence of the illusion, they regarded him as an ordinary distinguished guest), he went straight to the private room on the top floor.

A moment later, Zhang Dun, the governor of Shu Prefecture, led by Chu Yi, hurried to the private room, straightened his clothes, and then pushed open the door to enter.

"Your subject Zhang Dun pays his respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhang Dun bowed deeply to Ying Xuan, who stood by the window with his hands behind his back.

"Flat body."

Ying Xuan turned around and looked at him calmly.

"Xuzhou is well-governed. It has integrated the Qin and Song dynasties, its commerce is thriving, and its people live in peace. You have put your heart into it."

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty! This is simply my duty!"

Zhang Dun bowed quickly, but dared not relax in the slightest.

He knew that His Majesty's visit was not merely to praise him.

As expected, Ying Xuan changed the subject, his voice still calm, but carrying an invisible pressure.

"However, observing the million inhabitants of this city, apart from my personal guards, not a single one possesses internal energy. The county government's stone tablet is merely a facade. Minister Zhang, do you know that the number of cultivators is related to the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty and the very foundation of the world?"

Zhang Dun felt a chill run down his spine, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He carefully considered his words and replied cautiously.

"Your Majesty...we do indeed have concerns about this matter. There is an old saying that 'martial arts practitioners use their skills to break the law.' We fear...we fear that once the people learn internal strength, they will use it to commit crimes, disrupt local order, or even...incite rebellions. Therefore...we have not dared to promote it vigorously."

"A knight-errant using martial arts to break the law?"

Ying Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile.

"That's just an excuse from those who are incompetent in governing the country to shirk responsibility!"

His gaze was sharp as lightning, fixed directly on Zhang Dun.

"I am able to live forever and travel through the heavens to bring back resources for the Great Qin and protect it for a time."

However, if the Great Qin world itself cannot produce enough powerful individuals to continuously elevate its level and solidify its foundation... one day, this world's potential will be exhausted, and I... may depart to seek breakthroughs in a higher-level world.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dun trembled violently! It was as if he had been struck by lightning! His Majesty... actually intended to leave?!

He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and panic!
Your Majesty is the pillar that holds up the Qin Dynasty! If Your Majesty were to depart, how would the Qin Dynasty... how would the Qin Dynasty cope?!
"His Majesty!"

Zhang Dun's voice trembled.

"Absolutely not! Great Qin... cannot be without His Majesty!"

"The future of the Great Qin is not in my hands alone."

Ying Xuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a power that seemed to see into the future.

"And it lies in the hands of hundreds of millions of people! Only by popularizing cultivation, enlightening the people, strengthening their bodies, and elevating their spirits, so that everyone in Great Qin is like a dragon, can this world continuously advance, and ultimately... achieve a true 'Celestial Dynasty'! Only then will my presence here have meaning. Otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the unspoken meaning struck Zhang Dun's heart!
Zhang Dun's expression shifted constantly, his mind in turmoil.

He knew His Majesty's words were true, and he understood the profound significance of popularizing cultivation. But... the obstacles were immense! Those conservative ministers in the court, those local officials worried about instability—"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Dun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination.

"I have a plan! We can bypass some uncooperative officials and implement it gradually!"

"speak."

"Your Majesty may issue an edict to select a group of loyal, reliable, and well-trained elite soldiers from each legion who have cultivated their inner strength! They shall be allowed to lay down their arms and return to their hometowns, but their military status and salaries shall be retained! They shall be dispatched by the court to be stationed in the township and county schools of each prefecture and county!"
Nominally, they could be called 'martial arts instructors,' responsible for teaching students methods to strengthen their bodies! In reality, they were openly teaching basic internal energy cultivation methods in village and county schools!

The more Zhang Dun spoke, the clearer his thoughts became.

"The soldiers are loyal and disciplined, and having them teach will ensure that the techniques are not leaked! Moreover, the village and county schools are established by the imperial court, and local officials have no right to interfere with their internal teaching! The students are young, simple-minded, and easy to guide!"

Once these students have grown up and achieved success, they can then influence their families and neighbors... In this way, like a spark igniting a prairie fire, it will spread from point to area, from bottom to top, gradually taking shape!
This approach can both circumvent the obstruction of some officials and subtly change the prevailing social atmosphere! Once the number of practitioners has greatly increased and the practice has taken root in people's hearts, the advanced techniques can be fully implemented, and the resistance will naturally disappear!

Ying Xuan listened with approval in his eyes.

This strategy, based on soldiers and using schools as a bridge, subtly influences the nation and is indeed a mature and wise approach to governing.

"good."

Ying Xuan nodded.

"You shall work with the Cabinet and the Military Council to draft regulations and implement them as soon as possible. I want to see results."

"Your Majesty, I obey! I will do my utmost to live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Zhang Dun bowed excitedly to accept the order, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart.

He knew that if this move succeeded, it would change the future of the Qin Dynasty!
And his name, Zhang Dun, will be recorded in history!

Ying Xuan turned his gaze out the window again. The sun had set, and the city lights were just coming on. The hustle and bustle of Xuzhou City had not subsided; on the contrary, the opening of the night market had added to its vibrancy.

He seemed to see that in the near future, beneath this prosperity, countless sparks would be ignited, eventually converging into a raging flame that illuminated the entire Qin world!
On the shore of the East China Sea in Qin, the Stone Gate stands majestically.

One after another, massive ships carrying Song immigrants, filled with fear and anticipation, passed through the chaotic stone gate and sailed into the Qin Sea.

On the shore, officials, runners, and soldiers at all levels, who had been waiting for a long time, sprang into action, guiding, registering, and settling people in...

Everything was proceeding smoothly, yet there was an unprecedented sense of urgency.

The officials of the Great Qin knew that with each additional person moved in, the foundation of the Great Qin world would become one step stronger!
Deep within the palace, Ying Xuan sat quietly on the dragon throne.

He held in his palm a warm and ancient jade seal that exuded a faint imperial aura—the Imperial Seal of the Great Qin Dynasty!
At this moment, this jade seal has completely merged with the core fragment of the world he brought back from the world of Fengyun, becoming the hub for him to control the entire Qin world!
"To bind to the core of the world, nothing is more necessary than this jade seal."

Ying Xuan's gaze was deep.

The imperial seal carries the destiny of the Qin Dynasty, embodies the beliefs of hundreds of millions of people, and is connected to his own bloodline and fate.

Using this object as a medium to control the core of the world will not only achieve twice the result with half the effort, but also closely link the nation's destiny with the origin of the world, so that everyone prospers together!
More importantly, this jade seal contains imperial dragon energy and the blessing of national fortune, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to refine, thus ensuring that the core remains intact!
His mind sank into the jade seal, instantly connecting with the primordial will of the entire Qin world!
The vast power of the world flowed like a gentle river under his will.

"Disperse!"

Ying Xuan made a thought!
On the core island of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, the million lush, radiant spiritual roots and herbs vanished instantly!
The next moment, they appeared in every corner of the Qin world—famous mountains and rivers rich in spiritual energy, beautiful places where the earth's veins converge, and even some originally barren but potentially rich wastelands!
Wherever a medicinal herb takes root, an invisible illusion array quietly forms, concealing and protecting it.

At the same time, the abundant life force of wood and the essence of plants emanate from these spiritual herbs, blending into the earth and nourishing the mountains and rivers!
They are like miniature "spiritual vein nodes," accelerating the flow of energy between heaven and earth and enhancing the spirituality of the soil!
The entire Qin world seemed to have been injected with countless powerful "life engines," and the speed at which the world absorbed and transformed chaotic energy from the outside world suddenly increased!
Immediately afterwards, Ying Xuan's gaze fell upon the giant Jianmu tree atop the island's summit, which stood over a hundred meters tall.

His mind stirred again!
The massive body of the Jianmu tree trembled slightly, transforming into a dazzling stream of emerald green light that instantly traversed space and appeared in the central square of the Qin Imperial Palace!
The light fell to the ground and reformed into that crystal-clear giant tree, exuding a rich life force!
Ying Xuan keenly sensed that although the giant tree had taken root in the palace, its original aura had not been fully integrated with the Qin world!
It is like a foreign "strongman" with a higher level of life, instinctively resisting complete assimilation with the lower world!

If left unattended, as its intelligence gradually develops, it may escape this world!
"Only the power of the imperial palace's dragon aura and the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation can completely suppress and refine it!"

Ying Xuan understood.

He formed a hand seal, communicating with the imperial seal!
boom!
Above the imperial palace, the core array plate of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation shone brightly!
The vast power of the stars, the pure energy of heaven and earth, and the incense and prayers gathered from hundreds of millions of people poured into the giant tree of Jianmu like a celestial river flowing backwards!

The colossal Jianmu tree trembled violently! Its entire body shone with a brilliant green light! The tree trunk grew at a speed visible to the naked eye!

One hundred meters... three hundred meters... five hundred meters... one thousand meters!

In a short while, a towering tree, a thousand meters tall, stood proudly in the center of the palace!

The tree canopy blocks out the sun, and the branches and leaves flow with a warm luster, exuding an intensely pure and rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

The entire palace area, and even the surrounding dozens of miles, were instantly enveloped by this pure spiritual energy!

The air was as fresh as after a rain shower, and every breath was a cleansing and refreshing experience!
The imperial concubines, eunuchs, and guards who cultivated in this area all felt that the speed of their internal energy circulation had increased dramatically, their bottlenecks had loosened, and their cultivation had improved significantly!

The imperial palace has truly transformed into a sacred cultivation ground for the Qin world!
"not enough."

Ying Xuan's mind stirred again.

He guided the pure spiritual energy within the palace, which, like an invisible river, slowly spread out, nourishing the surrounding mountains, rivers, plants, and living beings.

He wanted to create a deeper connection between the aura of the Jianmu tree and the mountains and rivers of the Great Qin, making it an indispensable part of this world!

As millions of spiritual roots and herbs scattered in all directions, and the giant Jianmu tree took root in the palace, the immense power of the world, like a ignited flame, surged wildly under the guidance of the Great Qin Jade Seal!
Ying Xuan clearly sensed that the original power of the Great Qin world had surged from more than seventy parts to more than eighty parts!

We're not far from the 100 copies needed to advance to the second-tier world!
However, Ying Xuan did not immediately push for the world's advancement.

His gaze was deep and fixed on the vast, sealed space of spirits deep within the jade seal.

There, tens of millions of Yin spirits brought back from the Abyss of the Dead in the world of Jade Dynasty are imprisoned!

"We must not rush into things before the foundation is solid."

Ying Xuan muttered to himself. These spirits contain immense soul energy; if properly integrated, they will surely nourish the soul essence of the Qin world and even give rise to new laws.

However, if not handled properly, it could lead to disaster. Advancing to the second-tier world is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate; the more solid the foundation, the greater the potential!

He raised his hand and grabbed at the jade seal in mid-air!
A hazy, eerie shadow, constantly twisting and shifting, was extracted from the jade seal and hovered in his palm. This was one of the millions of evil spirits!
On Ying Xuan's palm, the hazy, ghostly phantom twisted and writhed, radiating a chilling coldness and chaotic resentment.

It originates from the Dead Spirit Abyss in the world of Jade Dynasty, and is the product of the resentment of countless dead souls.

The world of Qin is full of vitality and abundant with the energy of heaven and earth, but it lacks the extremely yin and cold "yin" power.

When Yin and Yang are out of balance, the laws of the world are not perfect.

Ying Xuan brought back these millions of Yin spirits precisely to fill this missing link and perfect the foundation of the world!

"melt!"

Ying Xuan flicked his finger, and the ethereal phantom instantly disappeared into the void, merging into the laws of heaven and earth of the Great Qin world!

The moment the spirit merged with him, the He Shi Bi (the Great Qin Imperial Seal) in Ying Xuan's hand trembled violently!
An indescribable and profound fluctuation instantly spread throughout the entire Qin world!

In the sky, it was as if some invisible shackles had been broken, and new rules were quietly born!
At this moment, all cultivators in the Great Qin world, regardless of their location or cultivation level, clearly felt that there seemed to be an indescribable "spirituality" in the world!
When they practiced their cultivation techniques, the speed at which they absorbed the energy of heaven and earth increased by 10% out of thin air!
Countless soldiers who were training felt their blood and qi surging and their internal energy stirring. Many who were stuck at their bottlenecks broke through on the spot!

Throughout the military camp, shouts of surprise and jubilation rose and fell!

The yin spirit that merged into the world, containing cold resentment, was quickly purified and transformed upon contact with the vibrant source of the world, like ice and snow melting away!
The violence and resentment within were stripped away and annihilated, and the remaining pure yin energy transformed into a gentle spiritual energy that nourishes the world!
Even more miraculously, the faint life imprint at the core of the Yin spirit did not dissipate. Instead, it was drawn by the will of the world and transformed into an imperceptible stream of light, traversing space and entering the body of an ordinary pregnant woman near the capital!
The pregnant woman only felt a slight warmth in her abdomen and did not notice anything unusual. However, Ying Xuan clearly "saw" a faint golden beam of light descend from the He Shi Bi jade, enveloping the pregnant woman!

The fetus in her womb, nourished by the pillar of light and infused with that trace of life, underwent an instant transformation in its very essence!
An indescribable spirituality was nurtured within him, and his innate qualities, comprehension, and even future fortune were all blessed and supported by the will of heaven and earth!
A future top genius has been born! (End of Chapter)
