The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

After one night.

The once tidy national treasury is now a mess.

Li Yourong could barely stand up by holding onto the wall.

Thinking back to that night, Qin Changye held her in his arms, doing the same thing in thirteen different places. He felt shy, but even more so, he was shocked.

The legend was indeed true; she was convinced!

"By the way, you contacted me earlier saying you had something important to discuss. What exactly was it?"

Compared to Li Yourong, who was leaning against the wall, Qin Changye was in great shape. If he wasn't worried that Li Yourong wouldn't be able to hold on, he could have continued to break records.

When the matter was brought up, Li Yourong didn't delay. Her face, which had been flushed with embarrassment, instantly became serious: "Something big has happened. Our Great Qin Dynasty has just been established, and seven other dynasties, including the Great Chu Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Great Qi Dynasty, have simultaneously sent us a challenge. The contents of the challenge are exactly the same. Tell me..."

"What did you say?" Qin Changye asked, seeing Li Yourong pause.

Li Yourong sighed deeply, her face full of anger: "They said they want our Great Qin Dynasty to announce unconditional surrender within three days, and that you to cripple your cultivation, bind your hands, and let them do as they please, otherwise they'll make our Great Qin Dynasty the shortest-lived dynasty in the history of the Great Wilderness!"

This is beyond outrageous!

This is like defecating on the head of the Qin Dynasty and then asking the Qin Dynasty for toilet paper in the end!

"These seven dynasties, although not far from the Great Zhou, have never interfered with each other before. Now, they have suddenly launched an attack on our Great Qin Dynasty at the same time, and even named and wanted to kill me."

It seems our Empress Ye Fengyue wasn't lying before she died; she possessed the body of a nine-tailed fox demon. She also had seven other bodies, each in one of seven dynasties, and now these seven bodies are starting to cause trouble.

Qin Changye wasn't too surprised, nor was he wary at all; in fact, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Having conquered the Barbarian Kingdom and the Bright Divine Dynasty, we wouldn't mind conquering seven more dynasties.

As I said before, one dynasty fighting seven dynasties gives us the advantage!

"Reply to these seven dynasties: If you want war, then let's fight!"

Qin Changye quickly made a decision. He had just established the Great Qin Dynasty and was worried about who to attack when seven other dynasties came knocking on his door at the same time. These were truly seven super gifts.

Then, Qin Changye handed Li Yourong a piece of paper filled with the names of medicinal herbs: "I need some medicinal herbs. Their names are all written on this paper. Next, you need to mobilize the power of the Great Qin Chamber of Commerce to help me find these medicinal herbs at all costs."

These medicinal herbs are all essential for Zhao Qingcheng's recovery; not a single one can be missing.

Li Yourong took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.

Upon closer inspection, the paper listed twelve medicinal herbs, each of which was extremely rare, and several of which she had never even heard of.

Collecting them all would be no easier than climbing to the heavens.

However, her eyes lit up quickly, and she said, "By the way, the grandest auction in the Great Wilderness Northern Continent, the Golden Xin Auction, is about to begin. These medicinal herbs might appear at the auction."

Meeting Qin Changye's questioning gaze, Li Yourong introduced, "Our Great Wilderness is divided into four continents: the East Continent, the West Continent, the South Continent, and the North Continent. Each continent has dozens of dynasties."

Although the Northern Continent, where our Great Qin Dynasty is located, is the smallest of the four continents, it still has more than twenty dynasties.

The Jin Xin Auction is the grandest and most influential auction in the Northern Continent, fully organized by the Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the Northern Continent.

When the "Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce" was mentioned, a hint of sadness flashed in Li Yourong's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She continued, "The Jin Xin Auction is held only once every ten years. The venue is not fixed each time, but is instead set in the imperial city of a certain dynasty in the Northern Continent."

This time, the venue just so happens to be the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty—or rather, the imperial city of our Great Qin Dynasty.

Li Yourong's words made Qin Changye's eyes light up, and he subconsciously asked, "On what specific day will this Jin Xin Auction be held?"

If there is still a long time to go, Qin Changye cannot wait.

"Just two days from now!"

Li Yourong paused for a moment, then continued, "I guess the reason why the seven dynasties, including Great Chu, did not immediately attack our Great Qin Dynasty, but instead gave us three more days, is mostly because of this Jin Xin Auction."

They were probably worried that hitting us would affect the holding of this Jin Xin Auction.

If all goes as planned, the Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce has already arrived in our capital to prepare for the grand opening of the Jin Xin Auction in two days.

Bigwigs from more than twenty dynasties in the Northern Continent, and even more than twenty emperors, are on their way to our imperial city.

Over the next two days, our imperial city will truly be a gathering place for heroes, a place where hidden talents abound.

Li Yourong's words made Qin Changye's eyes light up even more: "Since it is the grandest auction held in the Northern Continent once every ten years, the auction items must be rare and precious. Perhaps I can really gather the dozen or so medicinal herbs I need."

Li Yourong nodded: "Besides that, of the materials you asked me to collect last time, only the last one, called 'Body Shaping Stone,' remains. Perhaps we'll be lucky enough to find it at this auction!"

Qin Changye nodded. The batch of materials he gave to Li Yourong last time was for the seven female ghosts in the Myriad Artifacts Diagram to reshape their bodies.

Qin Changye, a man of his word, naturally wouldn't forget the promise he made to the seven female ghosts before leaving the Myriad Weapons Diagram: once he had collected enough materials, he would re-enter the Myriad Weapons Diagram, help them reconstruct their bodies, and take them out of the Myriad Weapons Diagram to see the light of day again…

As expected, more and more people flocked to the Qin Imperial City the following day.

These bigwigs from more than twenty dynasties in the Northern Continent piloted various imposing airships, constantly flying over and landing above the Qin Imperial City.

The imperial city of Qin was bustling with activity unlike anything seen in a century.

This even included seven members of the royal family from the Great Chu Dynasty who simultaneously issued a challenge to the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Changye only replied to them with one sentence: If you want war, then let's fight!

This enraged the emperors of the seven dynasties.

However, just as Li Yourong had guessed, the Jin Xin Auction would coincidentally be held in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty. If they were to launch an attack on the Great Qin Dynasty at this moment, the Jin Xin Auction would be affected, and they might also offend the Jin Xin Guild and other dynasties.

Moreover, it would take them time to mobilize a large army, so they decided to wait until the Jin Xin Auction ended before sending troops to the Great Qin Dynasty.

With seven dynasties joining forces, they were confident that they could swallow up and divide the Qin Dynasty within a day at most.

"Qin Changye got off easy; he lived three more days!"

Ye Fengyue's other seven bodies all arrived in the Qin Imperial City, and they were not in a good mood at the moment.

The nine-tailed fox spirit cultivated nine bodies that complemented and promoted each other.

Now that two bodies are gone, it is a significant weakening of the remaining seven bodies.

A blood feud is irreconcilable!

"According to rumors, there will be a spiritual source auction at this Jin Xin Auction. It was worth traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers to get here. After attending the Jin Xin Auction, it'll be about time to go to the Doomsday Mountains to burn incense!"

An old man with red eyebrows, dressed in a Taoist robe, arrived at the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty under the cover of night. He then simultaneously crushed three communication jade slips: "I was swindled out of too many spirit stones on this trip to the Western Sea. Now I'm short of money and need to summon my three disciples to 'borrow' over a hundred million spirit stones from them."

……

"So the Great Zhou Dynasty has changed dynasties. I was wondering why the Great Qin Dynasty sounded so unfamiliar. But the name of the First Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Changye, does sound familiar. Oh right, it seems Elder Jiu mentioned that name before..."

The headquarters of the Chusheng Sect is not in the Northern Continent, but in the Southern Continent, which is the farthest from the Northern Continent. However, a disciple who came to the Northern Continent on business just happened to be here to join in the fun at the Jinxin Auction.

While joining in the fun, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Qin Changye, who killed two of the Ninth Elder's disciples, is still alive!

……

As darkness fell completely, the Jin Xin Auction was set to begin in grand style tomorrow.

The bigwigs from more than twenty dynasties in the Northern Continent have all gathered in the capital of the Great Qin.

This even includes the emperors of more than twenty dynasties in the Northern Continent.

"I've heard that the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty wasn't even at the Imperial Martial Realm!"

"What? An emperor whose cultivation level is below the Imperial Martial Realm? Isn't this a joke?"

"Our Northern Continent is already the weakest continent in the Great Wilderness. If word gets out that the emperor of one of our dynasties in the Northern Continent is only at the King Martial Realm, the other three continents will laugh their heads off!"

"However, I've heard that seven dynasties have simultaneously issued declarations of war against Great Qin, and they'll launch a full-scale attack on Great Qin once the Golden Auction concludes tomorrow. Great Qin will undoubtedly become the shortest-lived dynasty in the history of the Northern Continent and even the entire Great Wilderness!"

……

These emperors from various dynasties in the Northern Continent gathered together and pointed fingers at Qin Changye, the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty.

They acted as if Qin Changye had lowered their standards, and that they disdained associating with him.

Of course, some emperors of certain dynasties suddenly had other ideas.

The newly established Qin Dynasty, facing seven other dynasties, was bound to collapse soon. Why didn't they join the ranks of those who would destroy the Qin Dynasty and get a share of the spoils?

Anyway, they were already here because of the Jin Xin Auction!

Click...

Just as they were each harboring their own secrets, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly rang out outside, a sound that defied all reason.

They instinctively walked out of the hall, looked up, and couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

As far as the eye could see, a thundercloud with a diameter of over ten thousand feet appeared in the sky above the imperial city.

Within the thunderclouds, lightning flashed incessantly, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the imperial city below as if it were daytime.

"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary thundercloud, but rather... a royal thundercloud?"

The emperor immediately spoke up, drawing a chorus of agreement.

As everyone knows, when a person's cultivation reaches the Emperor Martial Realm, it will attract heavenly lightning.

The thunderclouds used to generate heavenly thunder are called imperial thunderclouds.

Today, in the imperial city of the Great Qin, someone will upgrade their cultivation to the Imperial Martial Realm.

who can that be?

Not only the emperors were puzzled, but everyone in the entire imperial city stared at the thundercloud in the sky, whose diameter continued to increase over time, filled with doubt.

Soon, they saw a person rise into the air from the direction of the palace and stride towards the vast thunderclouds.

He wore a dragon robe, was young and handsome, and possessed unparalleled elegance...

"It's our Emperor Qin!"
