Zhao Feng tortures a captured Loose Immortal for information about the Heavenly Court and the Spiritual Root Pill. The Immortal reveals that the Heavenly Court and the Western Buddha Land are the strongest forces in the Immortal Realm, and the Spiritual Root Pill is used to control those who serve them, with others being raised as "Blood Food." The Immortal also states that forces like Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun have not obtained the pill and are reclusive.

"Well... this is rather..."

The Immortal Envoy faltered, appearing uncertain.

"Indeed."

"After all, you are merely a cultivator from the lower realm, with little knowledge of the Immortal Realm."

"It is sufficient that I have learned so much about the Immortal Tier from you."

"Now, tell me, how many cultivators exist in this Mortal World?" Zhao Feng shifted his inquiry away from the Immortal Realm and towards the Mortal World.

"There are no cultivators within Shenzhou."

"The Heavenly Court issued a decree forbidding the existence of cultivators in Shenzhou, thereby severing the path of cultivation and cutting off Shenzhou's spirit veins."

"Beyond Shenzhou, the path of cultivation does exist, though it is not widespread. I am affiliated with the Heavenly Court, while in the Western Borders, cultivators from the Buddha Land reside."

Under dire circumstances, one must comply, and so the Immortal Envoy proceeded to divulge all he knew.

"Buddha Land cultivators?"

Zhao Feng nodded, his understanding dawning.

Clearly.

As for this Mortal World.

Neither the Heavenly Court nor the Buddha Land permit the emergence of cultivators. They aim to prevent Shenzhou's Qi Fortune from growing strong and deny it any opportunity for transcendence, thus systematically cutting off its cultivation path.

This is because, as long as Shenzhou lacks cultivators and powerful humans, its Qi Fortune remains unanchored and will eventually erode over time.

Eventually, when Shenzhou is absorbed into the Immortal Realm, they can effortlessly assert control, manage its resources, and plunder its Qi Fortune.

In this strategic objective, the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Land share identical aims.

"That is sufficient."

"You have spoken frankly, and thus, I shall spare your life." Zhao Feng nodded, appeased.

"Allow me to enter reincarnation, and I shall forgive all past transgressions." The Immortal Envoy pleaded immediately, naturally suppressing the animosity within his heart.

Upon entering reincarnation, he could return to the Heavenly Court and report the appearance of powerful cultivators in Shenzhou.

Upon hearing this declaration!

Zhao Feng let out a laugh: "Do you truly perceive me as a fool?"

With that said.

Zhao Feng gestured, and the Fate Suppressing Tripod manipulated the National Fortune, once again immuring the Immortal Envoy within its confines before he collected the Tripod.

"Father."

"From this individual's account, were you able to ascertain anything significant?" Zhao Feng turned his gaze to Ying Zheng.

"The Immortal Realm is not solely under the dominion of demonic Immortals; numerous other factions exist apart from them."

"Furthermore, these factions are also adversaries of both the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Land."

"Consequently, even if Qin were to clash with these Immortals and Gods in the future, we need not fret about lacking allies." Ying Zheng articulated his thoughts calmly.

As an emperor, his analysis naturally stemmed from an imperial perspective.

During the era of warring states, Qin employed the strategy of distant alliance and close attack; this approach might prove viable in the Immortal Realm as well.

The Immortal Realm is of such immense scope that even the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Land cannot exert their influence across its entirety.

That is true.

"Indeed." Zhao Feng concurred, a hint of derision gracing his features: "Heavenly Court, Buddha Land."

"The ancient texts depict benevolent Immortals and Buddhas, yet in reality, they are fiends."

"They certainly possess a talent for self-aggrandizement."

Returning to the present.

"Father."

"Regarding our next course of action,"

"Qin shall fully embrace Martial Dao cultivation, in addition to expediting the unification of the Mortal World."

"The Western Borders must also be subjugated swiftly; only by completely conquering the Mortal World and securing its Qi Fortune will Qin stand a chance." Zhao Feng declared with gravity.

"The method for martial arts dissemination has already been established."

"It can now be put into practice without delay."

"Every citizen of Qin will be provided with the Body Refining Method. Upon reaching the Houtian Realm, they may register at the government office to procure the Innate Realm cultivation technique, and continue their advancement accordingly."

"Moreover, the Academic Palace will be designated as a focal point, identifying individuals with exceptional Martial roots for intensive cultivation."

"With Guiguzi now present, alongside martial arts, the Immortal Path can also be pursued."

Ying Zheng regarded Guiguzi with a smile.

"I have pledged allegiance to Qin, and I shall naturally serve Qin."

"My disciples have already embarked on Immortal Cultivation, having attained realms beyond Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation, thus possessing the capability to impart the legacy of the Immortal Path."

"However, the martial arts passed down by the Crown Prince can be practiced by all, but Immortal Cultivation is different; only those possessing Spirit Roots can absorb Qi into their bodies and embark on the path of Immortal Cultivation." Guiguzi stated immediately.

"Are there any Magical Treasures capable of testing Spirit Roots?" Zhao Feng inquired.

"Magical Treasures for testing Spirit Roots are simple to craft; I can create them with ease. However, Immortal Cultivation demands substantial resources, particularly Spirit Stones," Guiguzi explained.

Zhao Feng chuckled, "State Preceptor, there is no need to fret over resources. The Heavenly Court and the Buddha Land severed Shenzhou's cultivation legacy, leaving it barren of spiritual veins and devoid of cultivators!"

"This action was indeed cunning, cutting off Shenzhou's cultivation path for countless generations."

"For millennia, Shenzhou's resources remained untouched. Yet, this inadvertently serves as a boon for Qin."

"Currently, Qin is amassing Qi Fortune, converting it into National Fortune. Beneath the coverage of National Fortune, numerous hidden Spirit Stone Mines within Shenzhou have begun to surface, and countless Spirit Stone Mines have already been excavated."

"An abundance of resources."

Zhao Feng remarked with a smile.

"Perhaps, this is also the predestined arrangement of Heaven."

"The Immortals and Buddhas, in their effort to suppress Shenzhou's cultivation, never foresaw the opportune rise of Qin," Guiguzi echoed with a smile of profound emotion.

"State Preceptor, please dedicate your full effort to refining the treasure for testing Spirit Roots."

"Furthermore."

"You may also disseminate the foundational Immortal Path technique of Qi infusion into the body among the common populace. Should an individual possess a Spirit Root, they can commence Qi infusion immediately, without deferring the process until the Spirit Root test, thus awaiting only the final selection of the talented."

Zhao Feng proposed with a grin.

Upon hearing this declaration,

Guiguzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded, "The Crown Prince is truly wise; this approach is indeed perfectly feasible."

"By distributing the Qi infusion method, it will be more effective to subsequently test for the presence of a Spirit Root, and then employ a Magical Treasure to gauge its potency, thereby identifying numerous potential cultivators from across Shenzhou."

Zhao Feng offered a slight smile.

"Immortal Cultivation, and Martial Cultivation."

"Both represent valid paths of spiritual development."

"And the Art of National Fortune as well."

"Since these are to be propagated, let all three paths be transmitted concurrently."

"The doctrines of Martial Arts and the Immortal Path shall be accessible for all Qin citizens to pursue."

"While the Art of National Fortune will be reserved for the cultivation of Qin's officials."

"Today."

"Let the grand undertaking commence."

"With the intervention of Immortals and Gods concluded, and the remnants purged, it is now time for the entire populace to embark on the journey of cultivation," Zhao Feng declared with solemnity.

"Indeed."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Subsequently,

"Today,"

"With the world now stable, Qin's national strength burgeoning, and Huaxia flourishing,"

"I, alongside the Crown Prince, have resolved to bestow the foundations of longevity upon the citizens of Qin."

"We shall disseminate the arts of Martial Arts and Immortal Laws throughout the land."

"The Martial Path, innovated by the Crown Prince, is now open for all to tread, enabling physical transformation, life extension, the power to cleave mountains and shatter stones; diligence alone can overcome any perceived deficiency."

"The Immortal Law, a gift from our Great Qin Master strategist, may be cultivated by those who possess a Spirit Root, leading to transformation, mastery over swords, and eventual ascension, imbuing one with the very aura of an Immortal."

...

Ying Zheng swiftly drafted an imperial decree.

To facilitate the widespread transmission of these teachings.

Utilizing the formidable power of the Tian Xuan Mirror.

Ying Zheng directly infused the meticulously prepared foundational Internal Cultivation Methods into the Tian Xuan Mirror. Once the Sacred Edict reached the Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties of Qin, all citizens possessing a Tian Xuan Mirror would, under the spiritual luminescence bestowed by their Village Chief, County Governor, and Prefectural Governor, gain access to the Cultivation Technique.

Furthermore.

Guiguzi promptly transmitted the Immortal Cultivation method of Qi infusion into the Tian Xuan Mirror as well.

"Now!"

"The day marks the grand Dharma Transmission of Qin."

"This also signifies the commencement of the New Daqin Calendar."

"I hereby proclaim the current year as the first year of the Daqin New Calendar, also known as the Year of Dharma Transmission."

"Let all citizens of the world bear witness to this historic decree."

Ying Zheng proclaimed with his authoritative voice.

Following his pronouncement.

The State Governors across the Nine Provinces.

Received the Sacred Edict.

It was then disseminated to each of the Thirty-Six Counties.

The entire realm of Daqin stood on the precipice of a profound and transformative era.

In the Imperial Capital of Xianyang.

An official proclamation originated from the esteemed Prime Minister's residence.

Officials from the Prime Minister's Mansion made an appearance, escorted by the formidable Capital City Army.

"The Holy Decree has been issued!"

"Let all citizens of Qin heed this proclamation!"

As the officials, bearing the Holy Decree, emerged from the Prime Minister's Mansion, their pronouncements echoed repeatedly.

The attention of innumerable citizens within the city was instantly captivated.

This wasn't confined solely to Xianyang.

Across the entirety of Daqin's Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties, in countless prefectures and administrative districts.

The Holy Decree made its arrival.

A multitude of Qin citizens congregated, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.

"The Holy Decree has been issued!"

"Something of great importance must have transpired."

"The last instance His Majesty and the Crown Prince issued a Holy Decree, they enacted tax reductions, generously bestowed lands, and introduced novel grain seeds to the citizens of Qin, ensuring that no household would face the pangs of hunger."

"I wonder what momentous affair it is this time around."

"Indeed, it must be something significant."

"It must be of considerable importance."

"Quickly, let us go and listen."

"Hahaha, now, it's not merely about listening; one can also witness it."

"By the immense grace of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, I, too, have been fortunate enough to receive Qin's newly developed characters..."
