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

Many Nascent Soul cultivators are already secretly plotting how to optimize the killing and collection process, and how to refine enough "Blood Essence Pills" and "Fiend Essence Pills" of sufficient quantity and purity to present as tribute to the sect leader while satisfying their own cultivation needs, in order to win more favor and rewards.

For Ying Xuan, the enthusiasm of these nearly 100,000 "tools" has been fully mobilized. For a long time to come, the wasteland defense line will remain as stable as Mount Tai and continue to "generate blood" for him and the Great Qin world.

His gaze had already turned to something far beyond—how to solve the problem of Wang Jian and the others' evil energy, how to further digest the enormous gains from this cross-world trip, and... what exactly is hidden in the true face and core of that other world that continuously supplies goblins?
Above the Qin Imperial Palace, the sky, which had been filled with spiritual energy and faint glow due to the expansion of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array and the rain of spiritual energy, suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the gathering of dark clouds, but rather a sense of "stagnation" and "heaviness" in the space.

Ying Xuan raised his hand and gently gestured towards a certain spot in the void.

"Om-!"

A deep, resonant hum, seemingly emanating from the depths of ancient time, resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent, ancient palace complex, exuding the aura of vicissitudes of time and the powerful spatial fluctuations, slowly emerged from the depths of the void, transforming from the illusory into the real!

It is none other than the Heavenly Treasure—the Void Heaven Palace!

This ancient ruin, renowned throughout the world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," was brought back to the Great Qin Dynasty intact by Ying Xuan. Now, it reveals its true, complete form! Palaces and pavilions stretch endlessly, covering an area spanning hundreds, even thousands of miles!

It resembled a small landmass suspended in the heavens, its enormous shadow casting a shadow that covered almost half of the entire Qin Imperial Palace, which spanned thousands of miles below!

The visual impact and psychological pressure brought by such a colossal object suddenly descending from the sky are unparalleled!
"Enemy attack?!"

"Oh my god! What is that?!"

"Was he summoned by His Majesty?"

Inside and outside the palace, an uproar instantly erupted! Countless palace servants, guards, and low-level cultivators looked up at the sky in terror, their souls nearly leaving their bodies from the sight of the palace's shadow that blotted out the sun.

Even those cultivators with advanced cultivation felt a suffocating sense of oppression when faced with such a large-scale "heavenly treasure".

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of air being torn apart rang out one after another, and tens of thousands of figures soared into the sky from all parts of the palace. They were the cultivators and retainers who stayed behind in the palace, as well as the concubines and female officials with cultivation in Ying Xuan's harem.

Even the usually reclusive and focused cultivators, Yaoyue and Lianxing, as well as the aloof Shangguan Haishang, were startled by the earth-shattering commotion and appeared, flying into the air.

At first, everyone was shocked and their faces were solemn. But when they saw Ying Xuan standing in the air in front of the huge palace, making hand seals and casting mysterious magic seals at the palace, their tense nerves immediately relaxed.

It's Your Majesty!
What big move is His Majesty up to now?
The crowd immediately suppressed their surprise and doubt, and flew to a short distance behind Ying Xuan, hovering in the air, looking at the slowly descending giant palace and Ying Xuan who was casting a spell with awe and curiosity.

Lianxing, being quite bold, moved closer to Ying Xuan's side and behind him. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked in a low voice, with a hint of mockery, in a voice that only a few people nearby could hear.

"Your Majesty, this...this huge thing, from which world did we 'smuggle' it back? It looks quite imposing!"

She knew very well that her emperor was quite "pragmatic" in his ways in other worlds, and he was really not polite when he saw something good.

Ying Xuan continued performing hand seals without turning his head, but his face revealed a compassionate and righteous expression as he sighed.

"I found this in an ancient ruin in a dilapidated cultivation world. The ruin has long been abandoned, and the lineage has been severed. This treasure has been covered in dust for a long time, and its spiritual essence is about to dissipate. I could not bear to see this ancient sage's hard work disappear, so I spent a lot of effort to bring it back to my Great Qin, hoping that it can be put to good use and protect the people of my Great Qin."

"I am the Holy Emperor of Great Qin, and my actions are upright and honorable. How could I possibly engage in such acts of force and plunder? You must not make wild guesses and tarnish my reputation."

His words were spoken with righteous indignation, as if he were truly trying to save cultural relics and promote the right path.

However, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Shangguan Haishang, and the others standing behind him all knew him inside and out. Upon hearing this, they almost simultaneously rolled their eyes in unison.

Saving cultural relics? Promoting righteousness? What a load of rubbish!
In other mission worlds, their Majesty is known for being "pragmatic above all else." As long as it doesn't hinder him from obtaining practical benefits, he might still give some consideration to empty fame and morality.
But if it conflicts with real benefits, then benefits will definitely take precedence! Would he "expend his energy" for a "dusty treasure" in a dilapidated ruin? Unless the value of the treasure itself is worth his "expends of energy"!
However, they also knew that no matter what methods His Majesty used, his ultimate goal was to strengthen and develop the Qin Dynasty.

So, although he complained in his heart, he was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he was even more curious about what wonderful use this extraordinary palace had that made His Majesty so solemn to bring it back, and even to personally perform a spell at this moment.
Ying Xuan ignored the little thoughts of the people behind him. His mind was completely immersed in communicating with the core of the world and in controlling the two top-level palace-type magic treasures.

The Qin Imperial Palace was crafted by him using materials from this world, combined with his own imperial dragon energy and national fortune. Its essence is extremely high, and it has the potential to grow into a celestial artifact. However, due to the short crafting time and insufficient accumulation of foundation, it is more like a powerful "framework" and "symbol".

The Void Heaven Palace is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure that has been tempered by millions of years of history in the world of mortal cultivation, explored by countless generations of cultivators, and may even have been tainted by the aura of ancient powerful beings. Its internal space is mysterious, its materials are ancient, and its foundation is extremely profound.

However, limited by the laws of its original world and the original intention of its creation, it lacks the "opportunity" and "motivation" to further transform into a higher level of existence.

Both are top-tier palace-type magical treasures, with quality approaching that of immortal artifacts. Under normal circumstances, any cultivator who obtains one of them would cherish it as a treasure, carefully nurturing and refining it. There would be absolutely no possibility of forcibly fusing two top-tier magical treasures of the same type; that would be a complete waste of resources, and the success rate would be pitifully low.

But what Ying Xuan wanted to do was precisely this seemingly "wasteful" thing. He needed the Qin Imperial Palace to become the true "core of imperial power" and "central hub of the world" capable of "suppressing" the destiny of the Qin world and ruling over the eight wastelands and six directions! The current foundation of the Qin Imperial Palace was far from enough.

The quickest way is to "devour" or "merge" other powerful palace treasures of the same type, taking their essence to make up for one's own shortcomings!
And the Void Heaven Palace is the perfect "supplement"!
"With the power of the world, to accomplish things that change the world and bring about a fusion of creation... I hope you won't let me down."

Ying Xuan silently recited in his heart, connecting his divine sense with the core of the world.

The next moment, a dazzling point of light, containing the original will and power of the Qin world, slowly flew out from Ying Xuan's fingertip.

This bit of world power was more condensed and purer than the bit he had consumed when purifying the Blood Fiend of the Wasteland. It was as if it were a miniature manifestation of the will of the entire Great Qin world!

The light floated lightly toward the slowly descending Void Palace and disappeared into its core hub.

"Om-!"

The Void Heaven Palace trembled violently! The originally vast, ancient, and spiritually vibrant palace instantly lost its radiance, and the independent spiritual consciousness belonging to the "Void Heaven Palace" itself, under the wash of the world's power, melted away like ice and snow, quickly dissipating and returning to silence.

This is not destruction, but rather the erasure of its "self," leaving only the purest "matter," "energy," and "Taoist essence."

Immediately afterwards, the Void Palace, whose spirituality had dissipated and turned into pure essence, began to slowly "overlap" with the Great Qin Imperial Palace below in a way that defied common sense!
It's not a physical collision or compression, but more like two "shadows" from different dimensions and spaces, beginning to merge and converge under the influence of some higher-level force!
The enormous Void Heaven Palace, resembling a small landmass, seemed to transform into invisible flowing springs, light mists, and Daoist runes, flowing silently into every brick, every beam, every array node, and every spatial layer of the Great Qin Imperial Palace, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
"Rumble..."

A deep and majestic rumble emanated from the depths of the Qin Imperial Palace. It was not a loud noise, but it shook the hearts of everyone who paid attention to this place.

Visibly, the Qin Imperial Palace itself began to undergo earth-shattering changes!

The palace complex, which already covered hundreds of miles and extended thousands of miles using spatial expansion technology, is increasing its "presence" and "spatial stability" at an astonishing rate! The palace walls have become thicker and more ancient, as if bearing the weight of countless ages.
On the eaves and brackets of the palace, more intricate and mysterious cloud patterns, star maps, and mythical beast reliefs of mountains and seas automatically appear; the materials of the floor tiles and jade steps become more warm and translucent, with a faint spiritual light flowing through them.

More importantly, it expands and stabilizes the space! After the exquisite spatial structure of the Void Heaven Palace was integrated, the space inside the Great Qin Imperial Palace seemed to be "stretched", "folded", and "reinforced" once again!
The already vast interior area seems to have been incorporated into a deeper and more stable unique spatial dimension. From the outside, the palace does not appear to have grown much larger, but the actual usable space and stability inside have probably increased more than tenfold!
Moreover, some mysterious scenes began to naturally emerge in the space, such as the floating phantom of immortal mountains, the illusion of flowing spiritual springs, and the ever-burning starlight... These are all manifestations of the "Daoist charm" contained in the origin of the Void Heaven Palace.

In the center of the palace, the strange ancient tree that Ying Xuan had transplanted, now a towering giant with branches and leaves covering almost half of the palace, seemed to be stimulated, its branches and leaves moving and rustling without wind.

Its enormous canopy, like the core of a super spirit-gathering array, began to frantically draw in the partially transformed energy of heaven and earth from the void, converting it into purer, gentler, and more vibrant spiritual energy, which poured into the entire palace like a waterfall!

Beneath the palace, the vast array network that originally connected to the spiritual veins of various parts of the Great Qin seemed to be injected with powerful energy, and its operating efficiency suddenly increased!

The more abundant and purer energy of heaven and earth was continuously drawn from and gathered from the energy transformed from every corner of the Qin world, and even from outside the world barrier. It was then injected into the palace from bottom to top through the earth vein network, where it merged with the spiritual energy transformed from the ancient trees, forming a perfect cycle.

What sustains all of this, harmonizes the two energies, and gives rise to the many miraculous functions of the imperial palace is the massive incense and spiritual power generated from the daily prayers and offerings of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Qin Dynasty!

At this moment, the incense's spiritual power seemed to have found the best outlet and converter. Under the guidance of the newly created and more powerful core formation in the palace, it was consumed and transformed at an unprecedented speed, turning into a mysterious power that consolidated imperial power, enhanced the palace, and brought blessings to all people!

"Om-!"

An indescribable aura of imperial might, world will, ancient Daoist charm, and the vast will of the people, like ripples on water or a tangible impact, spread out from the merged Qin Imperial Palace, sweeping across the entire Qin territory in an instant, and even faintly impacting the edge of the world!
At this moment, every citizen of the Great Qin, no matter where they were or what they were doing, felt a sudden jolt in their hearts!
In a daze, they seemed to "see" a majestic and sacred palace complex, radiating golden light and auspicious energy, standing supreme in the center of heaven and earth, ruling over all directions! The image of that palace carried a strange power that soothed the soul, dispelled gloom, and strengthened faith.

In the capital city of Xianyang, on the streets, a peddler who had been sallow-faced and coughing frequently suddenly felt a sense of relief in his chest. The phlegm that had been lingering for months was instantly coughed up, and he felt refreshed and his strength returned.

He looked around blankly, then seemed to sense something and looked toward the palace, muttering to himself.

"Your Majesty...is it Your Majesty's blessing?"

In a remote village, an old farmer lying on his bed, barely alive and whom a countryman had predicted wouldn't survive the night, suddenly found his breathing becoming steady and strong. His dim eyes regained their light, and he managed to sit up on his own, leaving his family members who were waiting by his side dumbfounded.

The Qin soldiers, scattered in their various camps, were suffering terribly from the malevolent energy and on the verge of madness. At this moment, they felt a cool, majestic, and immense power sweep over their bodies and minds. It was like solid ice under the scorching sun meeting a warm current. The restless and soul-eroding malevolent energy was forcibly suppressed by this power!

Although it could not be eradicated, it allowed them to experience "clarity" and "peace" for the first time in a long time, and a bit of clarity returned to their bloodshot eyes.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"May the Qin Dynasty live ten thousand years!"

"May Your Majesty protect us!"

Almost instinctively, countless heartfelt shouts and cheers, filled with fervent worship and gratitude, rose from every corner of the Qin territory!

The voices of hundreds of millions of people converged to form a powerful torrent of "public opinion" that was invisible to the naked eye but truly real. This torrent flowed back to the Qin Imperial Palace, making the newly integrated palace complex even more radiant and majestic!

This powerful wave of voice, carrying the sentiments of hundreds of millions of people, even caused a slight tremor in the Qin world, as if the world itself was responding to its people's call. (End of Chapter)
