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

The core of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation should be to gather the power of the stars to form a powerful suppression and amplification effect.

Condensing the Star Gods is a higher level, a realm closer to mythology!
Even in the Qin world, supported by the fortune and incense offerings of the entire empire, such signs have never appeared!
The spirituality of this realm... is it really that miraculous? Can it directly catalyze the birth of a star god?

He suppressed the shock in his heart and decided to personally verify the special nature of the power in this realm.

With fingers drawn like a sword, he casually slashed at the steep mountain wall on one side of the valley!
Tsk-!
A bolt of purple lightning, only as thick as a finger, shot out from his fingertip, moving as fast as lightning and silently disappearing into the hard rock.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no flying debris or dust.

The rock on the mountain wall struck by lightning, within an area of ​​about ten feet in diameter, instantly turned into a translucent crimson red. Then, under the high temperature, it quickly cooled and solidified, eventually forming a smooth, mirror-like surface with an eerie luster!

At the edges, the rocks exhibit strange textures, as if they were instantly vaporized by extreme heat and then forcibly solidified!
Ying Xuan stared at the glass-like mountain wall, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

He used only the spiritual power equivalent to a casual strike from a Qi Refining stage cultivator to deliver this bolt of lightning!

In the Qin Dynasty, at most a shallow crater could be blasted into the rock.

However, in this realm, its power has been amplified by more than a hundred times!
This is by no means an enhancement of spiritual power itself, but rather an unimaginable and terrifying amplification of the manifestation of "spiritual power" such as "Daoist Laws" by the rules of this world!
“Spirituality… What permeates this world is a spiritual power that is far more fundamental and active than spiritual energy!”

Ying Xuan instantly understood.

"No wonder those mountain spirits, without needing orthodox cultivation methods, can transform into human form simply by accompanying scholars in their studies and absorbing their literary and spiritual essence! No wonder ordinary people can unleash power far exceeding their own potential by obtaining a spell containing profound meaning!"

It's not that they are so powerful, but rather that the spiritual energy of this world is too abundant and active, which has a natural and extreme amplifying effect on things like 'intention' and 'magic'!

The abundance of cultivators in this realm may not be due to them absorbing excessive spiritual energy, but rather their very existence continuously nurtures and strengthens the spiritual essence of this world!

Having figured this out, Ying Xuan felt a sense of clarity and a strong sense of anticipation arose within him.

This world is an exceptionally blessed land for cultivating Taoist arts, tempering the soul, and even refining magical treasures!
Without further hesitation, he communicated with the Stone Gate space in another dimension through his thoughts.

In an instant, the space above the flat grassland in the center of the valley, which was shrouded by the great formation, began to ripple violently!
hum!
A massive spatial portal, radiating a hazy white light, suddenly opened!

Immediately afterwards, figures were "spit out" from the portal.

The first to land were thousands of Imperial Guards dressed in flying fish robes and with embroidered spring knives at their waists!

Their eyes were sharp as eagles', and the moment they landed, they instinctively formed a defensive formation, warily scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. Their movements were uniform and carried an air of menace.

Following closely behind were hundreds of eunuch guards from the Eastern Depot, dressed in dark red eunuch robes, exuding a cold and sinister aura!

Like venomous snakes slithering into the shadows, they spread out silently, occupying key positions everywhere, their eyes coldly scrutinizing everything.

Next came dozens of royal chefs dressed in clean, crisp short jackets and carrying all sorts of unusual kitchen utensils.

Their faces showed confusion and unease, but their professional instincts made them instinctively protect the precious ingredients and tools they were carrying.

Finally, hundreds of palace maids appeared, all dressed in uniform palace attire, with beautiful faces and distinct personalities.

Although they were somewhat panicked, they tried their best to remain calm and quickly gathered together.

Once everyone had been teleported out, the portal slowly closed and disappeared.

Ying Xuan's gaze swept across the dark crowd on the plain below, finally settling on the group of women at the very front who possessed the most outstanding temperament.

With a slight thought, a gentle force summoned the imperial concubines Yaoyue, Lianxing, Biyao, and Jin Ping'er, as well as over a hundred stunning women brought from the Tang Dynasty, including Shen Luoyan, Shang Xiuxun, Shang Xiufang, Li Xiuning, Changsun Wan'er, Shi Qingxuan, Wanwan, and Shi Feixuan.

He was lifted into the air and brought to the cliff in front of him.

As soon as the women landed, they immediately sensed the strangeness and difference of the environment.

"His Majesty!"

Inviting the Moon spoke first, her cool voice carrying a solemn tone.

"The spiritual energy here is... pitifully thin! It's almost undetectable! How can one cultivate here?"

The Mingyu Gong she was cultivating required extremely high levels of spiritual energy, and at this moment she felt like a fish out of water, completely uncomfortable.

Lianxing, Biyao, and the others also frowned, as they too sensed the "barren" spiritual environment of this realm.

Ying Xuan looked at their puzzled and even somewhat disappointed expressions, but a meaningful smile played on his lips.

Instead of answering Yaoyue's question directly, he raised his hand and pointed to the spiritual herb garden below, which was covered by the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation and was growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as well as the 108 stars above the formation that were nurturing the prototype of the Star God and shining brightly.

"Sparse spiritual energy?"

Ying Xuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a confident understanding of the essence of things.

"You are wrong. What permeates this world is not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that we are familiar with, but something more primal and more active—the spiritual essence of heaven and earth!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the women before finally settling on the Imperial Guards and Eastern Depot guards on the plain below, who, despite their training, appeared like ordinary people under the rules of this realm.

"Here, a talisman imbued with true meaning can be amplified a hundredfold. A single, pure thought can materialize. Even..."

Ying Xuan's voice carried a strange fluctuation.

"The effect of your souls cultivating here for one day is perhaps equivalent to cultivating in the Qin Dynasty for a hundred days!"

These words shocked all the women! Even the usually aloof Yaoyue's eyes flashed with disbelief!
Is this equivalent to a hundred days of arduous training? This is simply mind-blowing!

Ying Xuan said no more. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the assembled imperial elites below, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"This place is the supreme training ground I have found for you! Although the spiritual energy is scarce, its spiritual essence is unparalleled! Those who enter my Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation will use the spiritual essence of this place to forge your foundation for cultivation!"
"Imperial Guards and Eastern Depot's Inner Guards, your primary task is to familiarize yourselves with the rules of this realm and hone your will! Imperial Chefs, use local ingredients, supplemented by the spiritual herbs within the formation, to prepare meals that nourish everyone's vital energy! Palace Maids, tend to the spiritual plants within the formation; there must be no mistakes!"

His gaze finally settled on the women in front of him, carrying an air of authority.

"As for you... follow me into the heart of the formation! I will personally guide you, helping you absorb the spiritual energy of this world, thoroughly establish your foundation, and strive for higher realms! One year in this world may only be one month outside! The opportunity is here; whether you can seize it depends entirely on yourselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire valley fell silent, save for the hum of the array in operation and the subtle sounds of the medicinal herbs growing.

The initial bewilderment and shock in everyone's eyes quickly transformed into an indescribable burning desire!
Deep in the valley, in the core area of ​​the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, the spiritual energy was forcibly gathered and purified by the formation. Although it was much denser than the outside world, it still seemed thin compared to the omnipresent and surging spiritual energy of this world.

Ying Xuan sat cross-legged at the center of the formation, his body radiating no earth-shattering aura, but rather unusually calm.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was long and even. With each inhale, the thin spiritual energy in the valley was drawn into his body.

Each exhale was not stale air, but rather wisps of extremely pure spiritual energy, imprinted with his own primordial spirit, emanating from his mouth and nose. If this sight were witnessed by cultivators of the Great Qin world, they would be utterly astonished.

At the peak of the primordial spirit realm, it is normal to manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth with every move. When have we ever seen a primordial spirit master who has "returned to simplicity" and cultivated the most basic breathing technique?

Ying Xuan's move has its own profound meaning.

The spiritual energy he slowly exhaled did not dissipate into the world.

The moment they leave the body, they greedily capture and absorb the dense, impenetrable spiritual particles that permeate the world!
These spiritual particles are formless and intangible, yet they contain the most primal power of this world. The spiritual energy, carrying a vast amount of these particles, was drawn back into Ying Xuan's body with his next breath!

The returned spiritual power is no longer pure spiritual power.

They seemed to be coated with a strange, vibrant luster, becoming softer, more agile, and even carrying a barely perceptible "weight".

Some of this spiritual power, infused with spirituality, directly merged into his vast primordial spirit sea, making his already incredibly refined primordial spirit even more precise in its perception and control of power, as if every thought could pluck the most minute threads of power.

The other part seeped into the depths of every cell in his body, nourishing his flesh and bones, and undergoing a deeper level of tempering and transformation.

This method of cultivation, though seemingly slow, is far less efficient than directly absorbing violent energy.

But Ying Xuan could clearly feel that with each breath, his primordial spirit's control over power increased by one point, and the spiritual power in his body became purer and gentler, as if it had acquired some kind of "spirituality," operating smoothly and with minimal loss.

Just as Ying Xuan was immersed in this peculiar state of cultivation, several beautiful figures arrived together, none other than the imperial concubines Yaoyue, Lianxing, Biyao, and Jin Ping'er.

Their auras were noticeably more solid and powerful than when they first entered this realm, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing around them, indicating that they had benefited greatly from the spiritual nourishment of this place.

"His Majesty!"

Yaoyue, walking at the front, had a barely perceptible excitement on her cool face.

"I have sensed that the bottleneck to Foundation Establishment is loosening, and my spiritual energy is surging and overflowing, as if I am about to break through!"

The Mingyu Gong she cultivated emphasized a solid foundation, and under the spiritual stimulation of this place, her progress was the fastest.

"Me too! I feel like I could cross that threshold any moment!"

Xue Bing, being the most impatient, was now blushing with excitement, eager to try.

Although Lianxing, Biyao, Jin Ping'er, and the others did not speak, their eyes revealed the same expectation and confidence.

Ying Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze sweeping over the women.

He could clearly "see" that deep within their dantian and dantian, their spiritual power had indeed reached a critical point, and with just one opportunity, they could break through the barrier and enter the true foundation-building realm.

There was no joy on his face; instead, he frowned slightly.

"Sensed it?"

Ying Xuan's voice was calm and composed, yet it carried a sense of authority.

"Then suppress it."

"what?"

Xue Bing's excitement froze instantly, and she stared at Ying Xuan in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, why suppress it? We have clearly already..."

"It's already possible to break through?"

Ying Xuan interrupted her, his gaze sharp as lightning, staring directly at the women.

"Do you know why you were able to sense the breakthrough opportunity so easily?"

The women looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

They only felt that their cultivation here was going smoothly and that their bottlenecks were loosening, but they did not delve into the reasons why.

"The spiritual energy of this world is abundant and active, far exceeding your imagination."

Ying Xuan said slowly.

"It has a natural and extreme amplifying effect on the soul, spiritual power, and the power of all manifestations of intention! What you call 'bottlenecks loosening' is, to a large extent, a 'catalysis' and 'illusion' of the spiritual power in your body by the spirituality of this world!"
It makes you feel that breakthroughs are effortless and natural.

He paused, his tone becoming extremely serious.

"But do not forget that we must eventually return to the Great Qin! The Great Qin world is lacking in spiritual energy, and it lacks the vibrant spiritual energy of this world! If you rush to break through in this world, your foundation may seem solid, but in reality it is like building a tower on sand!"

Once you return to the Great Qin, losing the spiritual energy of this world, the spiritual power within you will rapidly 'fade,' becoming weak and feeble! At that time, let alone competing with cultivators of the same level, you might not even be able to secure a victory against the elite Imperial Guards of the Great Qin world who, though not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage, possess solid foundations!

Ying Xuan's words instantly extinguished the burning passion in the hearts of the women.

The excitement on Xue Bing's face vanished completely, replaced by lingering fear and solemnity.

Yaoyue and the others also fell into deep thought. They were all intelligent people and instantly understood Ying Xuan's concerns.

"Then... Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Lianxing asked softly, her tone seeking guidance.

"One Hundred Days to Establish Foundation!"

Ying Xuan said firmly.

"The spiritual essence of this realm is an unparalleled treasure for forging an unsurpassed foundation for the Dao! But what you need to do is not to rush to use it to break through barriers and advance to higher realms, but to use it to 'imprint' upon yourself!"

He extended his finger, and a wisp of gentle spiritual energy, infused with spirituality, flowed slowly from his fingertip, radiating a warm and jade-like luster.

"Taking advantage of the spirituality of this realm, we will thoroughly imprint every strand of your spiritual power with the 'spiritual mark' of your own will! Let your spiritual power, soul, and body blend perfectly, as if they were your own limbs!"

This process takes time and requires painstaking effort; a hundred days is the foundation for success!

"Only in this way can the foundation you forge disregard the differences in the rules between the two realms and remain indestructible under any circumstances! Only in this way will your strength not plummet after returning to the Great Qin, but instead you can use it as a springboard to reach even higher realms!"

Ying Xuan's gaze swept over every exquisite face. (End of Chapter)
