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

He paused, his voice carrying a firm conviction.

"Moreover, His Majesty... is still alive! With His Majesty here, our Great Qin will ultimately seize the initiative in this war!"

……

Meanwhile, deep within that stone gate space, isolated by celestial artifacts and inaccessible to anyone.

Ying Shaoyang stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed solemnly on the two spatial passages that appeared before him, each emanating a distinct yet vast aura.

A passageway, filled with rich spiritual energy, faintly contains the phantoms of cranes and auspicious clouds, and one can almost hear the chanting of the Great Dao. Deep within the passageway, one can vaguely see the figure of a handsome young man struggling to join the immortal sect and seek a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine—Han Li from the world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality"!

The other passage exudes a desolate, ancient, and domineering aura, as if it bears the loneliness and battles of eternity. Deep within the passage, a young man has an insatiable longing to return to his homeland and is filled with yearning for the supreme Daoist scriptures—Ye Fan from the world of "Covering the Sky"!

A look of surprise appeared in Ying Shaoyang's eyes.

"After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, the level of the worlds I can enter has indeed increased!"

His heart was awe-inspiring.

These two worlds seem to offer endless opportunities, but they are also far more dangerous than ever before!

That mortal world, though seemingly starting from a low point, possesses a complete spiritual realm and even an immortal realm system. Its cultivation culture system is so complete that it covers all aspects of cultivation techniques, spells, alchemy, talisman making, weapon crafting, and so on, making it a treasure trove of cultivation civilization!

The world of Shrouding the Heavens is even more extraordinary! Not only does it possess a complete and powerful body-refining cultivation system, but more importantly, it is closely connected to a higher-level and even more vast and terrifying world, "Perfect World"!
The Path of Immortal Cultivation in the Mortal World, when cultivated to its peak, can even allow one to travel along the river of time and enter the Perfect World! The Immortal King level beings in the Perfect World have reached the point of destroying the heavens and earth and reshaping the universe, making even Ying Shaoyang wary and not daring to underestimate them in the slightest.

However, danger often coexists with opportunity!
Both of these worlds happen to possess the treasures that the Qin world urgently needs right now!
The complete cultivation system of the mortal world can completely make up for the shortcomings of the shallow foundation of cultivation civilization in the Qin world, and pave a clear and sustainable road for hundreds of millions of people!
The body-refining cultivation system of the Shrouding the Heavens world is far more sophisticated and powerful than that of countless other worlds! If it could be acquired, it would surely bring about a qualitative leap in the physical combat strength of the Qin soldiers!
Faced with these two paths leading to different peaks, Ying Shaoyang's eyes gleamed with contemplation and weighing of options.

His choice will determine the future development direction and potential of the Qin world.

After a moment's hesitation, Ying Shaoyang's gaze fell upon the passageway, shrouded in spiritual energy and exuding an aura of immortality. The world of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, with its complete and progressive cultivation system, was undoubtedly a more attractive option for the Great Qin Dynasty, which urgently needed to solidify its foundation and establish a framework for long-term development.

Although the world of Shrouding the Heavens is powerful, its power system has an excessively high starting point, and its environment is more brutal, making it not the supplement that Great Qin urgently needs at present.

"Let's begin from this realm."

Once Ying Shaoyang had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the passage leading to the mortal world.

……

The scene before him shifted and then settled down. Ying Shaoyang was now quietly standing atop a large tree in a secluded valley.

He concealed all his aura, as if blending into his surroundings.

His divine sense spread out silently like mercury spilling onto the ground, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

He habitually began to explore the environmental details of this new world.

"The amount of free-floating energy in the air here is so low..."

Ying Shaoyang frowned slightly, sensing his surroundings.

"It's not much better than some of the martial arts worlds I experienced in my early years."

The earth's spiritual energy had almost completely dissipated, leaving it quite barren.

This made him recall his experience when he first transmigrated to this great world. At that time, he was weak and had to rely on his internal energy to grow step by step. He even had to rely on the internal energy gathered by thousands of Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) to succeed in establishing his foundation.

However, when his divine sense penetrated deep into the earth, pierced through the rock layers, and touched the intricate and vast network of earth veins that resembled the meridians of the human body, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes!
"I see!"

Ying Shaoyang understood.

"It's not that this world is lacking in energy, but rather that the vast majority of the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth is locked within these earth vein channels!"

In his perception, there was a surge and flow of boundless and pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth deep within the earth's veins!
Its total quantity and purity far surpass the Great Qin World, which is currently in a period of rapid growth! Moreover, this spiritual energy seems to have undergone countless years of sedimentation and natural harmonization, appearing extremely "mature," with a balanced and peaceful aura, without the slightest element of violence or discomfort.

With a slight thought, a wisp of spiritual energy from the deepest earth veins, like a gentle wisp of silk, gathered at his fingertips.

This wisp of spiritual energy naturally swirled and lingered, lively and pure, exuding a comforting aura.

"It's so gentle..."

Ying Shaoyang was somewhat surprised. After a slight contact with his divine sense, the wisp of spiritual energy was absorbed by his primordial spirit without any hindrance. The process was incredibly smooth, with almost no loss. "Unlike the spiritual energy of my Great Qin world, although the total amount is growing rapidly, it carries a newfound ferocity and restlessness, requiring more effort to refine."

His divine sense swept across the valley and noticed some young herbs growing not far away, which were growing unusually vigorously, as if they had been ripened by some force.

Finally, his gaze settled on a simple wooden hut deep in the valley.

Inside the wooden cabin, a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, sat cross-legged, immersed in cultivation, his breathing long and deep. This was none other than Han Li, the "key figure" of this trip.

Ying Shaoyang's divine sense swept over Han Li's body meticulously and immediately noticed the abnormality.

Within Han Li's body, there were four extremely subtle, barely visible small orbs of light.

These small orbs of light were completely silent at the moment, and if Ying Shaoyang had not been at a high level of cultivation and possessed a divine sense far exceeding that of cultivators in this realm, he would have been almost unable to detect them.

But from these four faint orbs of light, Ying Shaoyang sensed an extremely faint yet undeniably real aura of law!
"Spiritual root..."

A look of understanding appeared in Ying Shaoyang's eyes.

"So the so-called spiritual root in this world is actually a tiny manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth dispersed within the human body!"

He instantly grasped one of the fundamental logics of this world! This world does not place the complete laws high above, making them difficult to comprehend, but rather disperses the "seeds" of the laws—that is, spiritual roots—into the bodies of some living beings.

Through cultivation, cultivators are essentially nurturing and strengthening the fragment of law within their bodies.

When a cultivator dies, this nurtured and strengthened fragment of law will return to the world and merge into the origin of the world.

As this cycle continues, and living beings remain in the world, the laws can continue to grow and improve in this constant cycle!
"Compared to the simple and brutal model of the Goblin World, which only pursues maximizing the number of lives, this world... has a more advanced gameplay and greater rewards!"

Ying Shaoyang admired it inwardly. This was a sustainable, virtuous cycle of growth, far more promising than predatory expansion.

An idea rose uncontrollably in his mind.

"This method... might be replicable in my Great Qin world!"

The Great Qin world now bears the marks of his tribulation and the thunderous laws generated by the tribulation triggered by the Myriad Soul Banner.

As the ruler of the world, he could easily disperse these thunder laws, create corresponding "thunder spirit roots," and widely spread the corresponding thunder-based Dao techniques!

Moreover, as the ruler of the world, he can comprehend and mobilize all the laws within the Great Qin world at any time. He looks forward to the magnificent scene that will unfold when the insights of countless Great Qin cultivators converge and give back to the world!

However, this thought only flashed through his mind before Ying Shaoyang suppressed it.

He shook his head slightly and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"It was I who was too hasty."

In the early days of the Great Qin world, the accumulated laws of heaven and earth were limited and insufficient to support such a large-scale dispersion.

The immediate priority is to complete the mission of entering this realm and ensure that Han Li successfully joins a cultivation sect.

His goal was very clear.

By using Han Li as a lead, we can delve into the cultivation system of this world, systematically collect and learn about its techniques, elixirs, talismans, formations, and other knowledge, and bring back a complete and referable model of civilization for the Great Qin.

His divine sense landed on an inconspicuous little bottle in Han Li's arms—that was the mysterious "Heavenly Palm Bottle".

With a thought, Ying Shaoyang silently sent the small green bottle flying out of Han Li's arms and into his outstretched palm.

He focused his attention and probed deeply into the bottle, feeling as if it contained an endless starry sky, with countless tiny points of light floating within it, mysterious and profound.

However, when his divine sense tried to touch the most core mystery, he felt an invisible yet incredibly strong barrier blocking him out.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ying Shaoyang's eyes. With his current cultivation at the Returning to the Void Realm, coupled with his primordial spirit power far exceeding that of others of the same level, he could even glimpse the essence of many immortal artifacts, yet he was unable to see through the core of this small bottle.

"This item... is definitely not something that cultivators from the lower realms can refine."

Ying Shaoyang made his judgment, and his expression became serious.

"The causal relationships involved are probably enormous, and there are too many calculations involved."

After a moment's hesitation, he finally returned the Heavenly Bottle to Han Li's arms intact.

"Even if I were to forcibly take it away, with my current abilities, I might not be able to fully control it, and it might even cause unnecessary trouble."

The greatest effect of this item is to promote the growth of spiritual herbs. In my Great Qin world, the spiritual roots are already deep and there are many spiritual herbs. The stage of accumulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been passed.

In comparison, learning this world's complete systems of weapon crafting, talisman making, agriculture, and alchemy would be far more valuable and reliable for our Great Qin.

Since we're not going to take the treasure, let's keep a backup plan.

Ying Shaoyang flicked his finger, and an invisible, intangible, and subtle mark connected to the origin of his soul silently entered the depths of Han Li's brow, merging with his soul. Unless one's cultivation level far surpasses his, it would be extremely difficult to detect.

After doing all this, Ying Shaoyang's figure slowly dissipated like wisps of smoke, as if he had never existed.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li, who was cultivating in the wooden house, twitched his eyelids slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked slightly bewildered, subconsciously checked himself, and then cautiously looked around, but found nothing unusual.

"Just now... I seemed to be in a daze for a moment?"

Han Li frowned deeply, his mind far from relaxed; instead, he became even more vigilant. For someone as meticulous as him, struggling to survive at the bottom of the cultivation world, any unusual occurrence warranted extreme caution. To inexplicably feel dizzy during cultivation, only to wake up completely normal—this in itself was the most unusual thing imaginable!

He quickly got up, rushed out of the wooden house without hesitation, and swiftly picked all the thriving herbs in the valley, carefully storing them away. Then, with a swift movement, he used his lightness skill to leave the valley that had given him this unsettling feeling without looking back.

The valley returned to silence, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind, as if telling the untold story of what had just happened.

Having left the valley where Han Li was, Ying Shaoyang had no more scruples. With a swift movement, he rose into the air and soared through the sky without restraint.

His divine sense spread out in all directions like an invisible tide, covering mountains, rivers, towns, and villages.

In this lower realm, the strongest beings are only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Ying Shaoyang had not witnessed the specific methods of the Nascent Soul cultivators of this world or seen the records in the scriptures, he had absolute confidence based on his own Void Returning Earth Immortal realm and his understanding of the nature of power—the Nascent Soul cultivators of this world were utterly vulnerable in front of him!
Since he's invincible, why bother hiding it? He needs to be this high-profile to find his target as quickly as possible.

What he was looking for were the cultivation sects with complete lineages or the markets where cultivators gathered to trade, which had appeared in the original work.

Only from these places could he systematically acquire a complete knowledge system of this world, including cultivation techniques, elixir recipes, weapon crafting methods, formations, and talismans.

Ying Shaoyang's eyes lit up slightly as his divine sense swept over a seemingly ordinary mountain range hundreds of miles away.

Deep within the folds of that mountain range, in a valley concealed by a simple illusion array, he detected over a thousand auras far surpassing those of ordinary mortals! These auras varied in strength, but when gathered together, they were as conspicuous as lights in the night in this relatively energy-poor world.

"found it."

With a thought, Ying Shaoyang instantly withdrew his divine sense, which had been spreading like a tide. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared almost simultaneously above the valley that was shrouded by the formation.

The illusion array above the valley might be somewhat confusing to cultivators of this realm, but in Ying Shaoyang's eyes, it was practically useless.

Without the slightest hesitation, he effortlessly passed through the array barrier, as if passing through a curtain of water, and entered the valley.

The valley wasn't very large, surrounded by some somewhat mystical and exotic flowers and plants. In the center was a complex of buildings spanning several hundred acres, with palace-style buildings with blue tiles and white walls arranged in a pleasing, orderly fashion. At the center was a rather spacious bluestone plaza. (End of Chapter)
