The old emperor only desires immortality; you must not rebel.

The border of Chu

Zhennanguan.

Banners fluttered atop the majestic city walls.

This place is the border between the State of Qing and the State of Chu. Zhennan Pass was originally a city of the State of Qing, but in order to ask the State of Chu for military assistance, Zhennan Pass was ceded to the State of Chu.

Therefore, this place, which was originally the first pass for Qing to defend against Chu, has now become a checkpoint for Chu to defend against Qing.

"General!"

"Look, what's that?"

The patrolling soldier suddenly pointed at the dark figure on the horizon, his face full of astonishment, his voice stammering.

"What's the big deal!"

The commander of Zhennan Pass strode over, his face filled with anger as he looked up at the sky.

"damn it!"

"What is this thing?"

He was startled, and before he could react, the dark shadow on the horizon plummeted from the sky with a deafening roar.

"Help!"

A sharp, piercing roar rang in my ears.

A wave of air rushed towards us!

"boom!"

The stone pillar crashed down with a deafening roar.

Thick smoke blotted out the sky.

A faint cry for help came from the dust.

"Help...help me!"

"I am Liu Nanfeng, the Prime Minister of the State of Chu..."

"Save me, and I will reward you handsomely..."

"General, what did he just say?"

A soldier pointed into the smoke and asked.

"He said he was the prime minister of the State of Chu, what did he say!"

"etc!"

The garrison commander of Zhennan Pass suddenly realized what was happening, looked at the blurry figure in the dust, and roared, "Quick, save them!"

The soldiers rushed forward.

As the smoke cleared, Liu Nanfeng, buried under rubble, his hair disheveled, struggled to say, "Quickly, quickly take me to the capital!"

"I have important matters to report to the Emperor!"

After saying his last words, Liu Nanfeng's last breath completely gave way, and he fainted.

The same scene also played out on the border of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Sima Rutang, however, was not as lucky as Liu Nanfeng. He ended up in the desolate mountains and it took him several days to emerge from them.

……

Upon his return, the Holy Emperor immediately issued a series of edicts.

Two major infrastructure projects were launched throughout the Qing Kingdom.

One is the emperor's wine pool and meat forest!

The second is the Gyeonggi Highway Project.

Although the people did not understand what the Holy Emperor meant by "highway," the Holy Emperor provided food, so they just had to do their jobs.

Meat at every meal, and a full stomach at every meal!

You still get paid!

Who wouldn't shout "Long live the Holy Emperor!"

The two projects together provided 300,000 jobs for displaced people from Qingguo.

Refugees from all over the country flocked to the area, continuously joining the Holy Emperor's infrastructure construction team.

In addition, the Holy Emperor built schools in various places and sent scholars who had entered officialdom to teach in various places.

A literacy campaign will be launched throughout the entire Qing Kingdom!

Many students who had just taken the imperial examinations received official orders immediately after the results were announced, and were to take up their posts and take charge of affairs in various regions.

As students of Enke, they are the most loyal guardians of the Holy Emperor and the most loyal defenders of the Way.

They will steadfastly uphold the ideals of the Holy Emperor.

During this period, the Holy Emperor resided in the palace and did not even summon his officials.

As the future ruler of a vast empire, the supreme and holy Son of Heaven must have an heir.

After failing to physically eliminate the Holy Emperor, the Qing Kingdom's righteous faction began to attack his weaknesses.

No heir!

For an emperor to have no offspring is to be unfilial to his ancestors.

The absence of offspring will lead to instability in the empire!

The esteemed officials of the "pure stream" took this opportunity to launch into a tirade in the imperial court, urging the emperor to continue taking concubines.

What if you have no children?

The only solution is to keep taking concubines!

How could the Holy Emperor have a problem? It must be the women in the harem who have the problem.

Of course, if there are still no offspring, then there is something wrong with the Holy Emperor.

In a fit of rage, the emperor expelled his court officials and began a shameless and unrestrained life with his four lovers.

Thirty days later,

inside the palace,

The Holy Emperor, supporting his belt, strode out of the Phoenix Palace.

It wasn't that he was incapable, but rather that the three concubines simply couldn't withstand the Emperor's immense power and had no choice but to beg for mercy.

With a thought, a panel appeared before my eyes.

[Host]: Lu Cheng

[Identity]: Ruler of Qing Kingdom, Father of Qi Kingdom

[National Fortune]: ZTE Rejuvenates (150000)

Lifespan: 30 years

[Talents]: Divine Power (Gold), Imperial Majesty that Awes the Masses (Purple), Wise Eyes that Recognize the Masses (Red), Endless Life (Purple), All Subjects Bow Down (Gold), Imperial Will (Gold)

[Realm]: Unity of Heaven and Man

[Remaining Talent Refresh Attempts]: 1

[Source Point]: 210

[Main Quest]: Enhance national fortune, annex other nations, and achieve unification.

A month later, his talent was refreshed once again.

Even his realm has undergone a tremendous change, transcending the mundane martial arts and achieving "unity of heaven and man".

He does have a feeling now that his perception of many things has become exceptionally sharp, and he can vaguely perceive many ambiguous things.

With the blessing of the nation's destiny, his senses were exceptionally strong.

Even the Holy Emperor didn't know the exact level of his own strength; in any case, ordinary grandmasters would be no match for him.

Are there really immortals in this world?

According to folk legends, there are indeed immortals in this world, but he has been in Qing Kingdom for so long and has never seen one.

The so-called immortals should be considered by everyone to be a complete fabrication.

But he had a deep feeling that there must be immortals in this world.

The Holy Emperor sighed and ordered, "Issue an edict to all officials!"

Wei Gonggong thought to himself, "Is the Emperor going to kill someone again?"

……

Chu State Sea Area

A powerful storm is brewing in the sky.

Invisible ripples spread across the sky, and the waves surged and exploded in all directions.

A deafening roar echoed from the horizon.

Purple lightning streaked across the depths of the dark clouds.

Deep in the sky, a small boat appears and disappears from the clouds, hovering in the depths of the heavens.

A bolt of purple lightning struck the small boat, which then unleashed a massive light barrier that blocked the lightning.

The next instant, more and more lightning bolts emerged from the depths of the sky.

Lightning flashed intermittently.

The howling wind whipped up the heavens and earth, causing them to tremble.

On the sea, towering waves surged and rolled.

Dozens of fishing boats were capsized by the waves in an instant and disappeared into the sky.

The small boat also plummeted from the depths of the sky and crashed into the sea.

After a long time, three figures suddenly rose from the sea.

The three men had youthful faces, wore elegant brocade robes, and were quite dashing.

At this moment, the three of them wore expressions of shock and horror.

"So this is what the world outside the Heavenly Abyss is like!"

"Such abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth!"

"Ancient texts record that beyond the Heavenly Abyss Curtain lies a fragment of a ruined immortal realm. Could this be the land of that fragment?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest of the three frowned, looked around, took out a compass from his robes, and shook his head, saying, "We can't contact the sect for now."

"Activating the Azure Ship previously consumed too much of my magic power; it will take at least three months to recover."

Zhao Yanzhi activated his divine sense, which instantly swept across a radius of a hundred miles.

"This seems to be a mortal dynasty!"

The three of them immediately relaxed.

Since it's a dynasty ruled by mortals, there's nothing to worry about.
