Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 832 Chapter 338: Ancestor of Martial Arts! Huaxia Eight Cauldrons Suppress Jiuli!

"Establishing the Heaven and Earth Martial Dao Cultivation, revered as the Ancestor of the Path."
"Obtained attribute entry: [Ancestor of Martial Dao]."
"Does the host wish to receive and merge the entry?"
The system panel suddenly prompted.
"Another attribute entry?"
"Ancestor of Martial Dao?"
Zhao Feng gazed at the newly appeared entry, a touch of surprise gracing his features.
"Merge."
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao Feng commanded.
Instantly.
A radiant halo enveloped Zhao Feng as it merged into his being.
The properties of this newly acquired attribute entry then unfurled before his eyes.
[Ancestor of Martial Dao] Gold: A pioneer of the Martial Dao, the very Ancestor of Martial Dao. All who tread the path of martial arts are inherently suppressed by the Martial Ancestor! This ability gathers the Qi Fortune of the world's martial artists into oneself. With immense Qi Fortune and flourishing destiny, one encounters countless opportunities and can unleash the devastating strike of the Martial Ancestor by drawing upon the collective power of all martial artists!
"The Ancestor of the Path is truly as formidable as the legends say."
"I shall claim the Qi Fortune of all martial artists, blessed by the Martial Dao itself."
"Furthermore, I can harness the combined might of every martial artist across the realm to unleash a single, world-shattering strike."
"Just how overwhelmingly powerful must such an ability be?"
"Anyone who dares to practice martial arts will find themselves suppressed before me, the Martial Ancestor. This signifies that any attempt against me from now on is simply a path to self-destruction."
"The Ancestor of Martial Dao, indeed an astonishing title."
Upon scrutinizing the attributes of this extraordinary entry, Zhao Feng couldn't help but marvel.
This particular entry.
Was truly exceptional.
It could be stated,
Based on its current displayed attributes, it was by no means inferior to the Heavenly Dao Authority and Human Dao Authority that Zhao Feng had previously obtained.
"Next."
"I shall make a perilous journey to Baiyue."
"The Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia, that Clan Suppressing Divine Artifact, it must be within my grasp." Zhao Feng mused silently, his resolve hardening.
Then.
With a mere flick of his hand.
He rent the fabric of the void asunder and stepped directly through.
Bearing witness to Zhao Feng's departing figure.
"We respectfully bid farewell to the Crown Prince."
"We respectfully bid farewell to the Martial Ancestor."
...
An uncountable multitude of common folk cried out in unison.
This resounding chorus was not confined to Xianyang alone; countless citizens across the entirety of the Daqin Nine Provinces joined in the fervent chant.
Outside the grand walls of Xianyang City.
Merely a stick of incense's duration after Zhao Feng had departed.
The assembled populace outside the city began to enter in an orderly fashion.
For these devoted individuals, the day had yielded immense enlightenment.
Following this momentous day!
The Martial Dao throughout Daqin would undoubtedly ascend into an era of unprecedented prosperity.
"I am currently at the Postnatal Triple Realm; I must redouble my cultivation efforts with utmost diligence, aspiring to reach the Innate Realm soon."
"The Crown Prince's profound lectures on the Martial Dao and the critical insights shared were truly captivating; I fervently hope to one day become a Great Grandmaster Martial Artist and dedicate my service to Daqin."
"Today's enlightening lecture on martial arts by the Crown Prince has concluded; however, in just a few short days, the State Preceptor will deliver a discourse on the Immortal Path."
"At that time, cultivators possessing innate Spirit Roots will also be granted the privilege to attend."
"Having absorbed the wisdom from the Crown Prince's words, I now possess clarity on the path to breakthrough; I must seize this fleeting opportunity..."
A multitude of martial artists began to disperse, each eager to pursue their awakened aspirations.
Within the hallowed halls of Zhangtai Palace!
"We, your humble ministers, pay our respects to Your Majesty."
A delegation of a dozen individuals entered the grand hall, bowing deeply in unison.
"With the Crown Prince's masterful lecture on martial arts now complete, Daqin stands poised to embrace a truly golden age of Martial Dao."
"You amongst you are the most distinguished alchemists, artifact refiners, and array masters within Daqin."
"I have already conveyed my instructions to Xunzi; you shall all be integrated into the Imperial Capital Academy, where you will establish and lead various crucial auxiliary paths across the land." Emperor Ying Zheng declared with a voice resonating with authority.
"We ministers shall faithfully obey the Sacred Decree."
They replied in unison, their voices echoing with loyalty.
"Mm."
Ying Zheng gave a curt nod, then pronounced, "You are dismissed!"
After the assembled ministers had departed.
"The foundational doctrines of martial artists and cultivators, the Art of National Fortune, the disciplines of alchemy, and the craft of artifact refining – these vital auxiliary paths have now been comprehensively established."
"The glorious golden age of Daqin has truly dawned." Ying Zheng's countenance was alight with profound joy.
"Your Majesty."
"The Crown Prince has departed from Xianyang, setting his course towards Baiyue."
Ren Xiao entered the chamber and reported with utmost deference.
"Baiyue is the repository of precious treasures from the Huaxia lineage; it is only fitting that Feng'er personally undertakes this endeavor." Ying Zheng responded with a gentle smile, betraying no hint of surprise.
It was evident.
That Zhao Feng had already apprised Ying Zheng of the Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia's presence within Baiyue.
Should this formidable Huaxia Divine Artifact be successfully acquired, its value to the burgeoning might of Daqin would be immeasurable.
Baiyue!
"Indeed, this land is steeped in miasma. To fully cleanse it, the waters of Shenzhou must be diverted, extensive canals excavated, and the process carried out gradually."
"However, there is no need for undue haste at present."
Hovering high above within the void.
High above, Zhao Feng surveyed the landscape of Baiyue spread out below him.
Baiyue, in contrast to the vast plains of much of Shenzhou, was predominantly characterized by its rugged mountains and deep valleys, making it rather unsuitable for this particular era.
After all, many regions of Shenzhou consisted of sprawling plains, ideal for the construction of cities, the establishment of major roads, and the facilitation of extensive transportation networks.
Conversely, the terrain of Baiyue, in this time, presented significant natural obstacles to development.
"This is it," Zhao Feng murmured.
"The foremost among the nine tribes of Baiyue: the Jiuli Tribe."
Zhao Feng's divine sense extended outwards, encompassing the area.
Following his prolonged cultivation, amplified by the power of Qi Fortune, Zhao Feng's progress had been remarkably swift.
At present, all his attributes were nearing the two hundred thousand mark.
His cultivation realm had ascended to the Peak of the Shattering Void Realm, leaving him just a single step away from the legendary Martial Arts Realm of Divine.
With that realization, Zhao Feng took to the sky, his movement swift and decisive.
In an instant, he found himself at the forefront of the Jiuli Tribe's territory.
As he arrived, he observed that this once-dominant tribe of Baiyue had already fallen to the might of the Qin Army.
Everywhere he looked, soldiers clad in black armor, belonging to the Qin Army, were stationed.
Within the tribe's boundaries, the Jiuli people were in disarray.
Historically, they had also resided in Shenzhou. However, following their defeat in the ancient human emperor wars, they, as an entire tribe, had relocated to the desolate and remote region of Baiyue.
The entirety of Baiyue was now home to an estimated five to six million individuals of the Jiuli Clan.
Their practices of raising Gu insects and cultivating poisons had inflicted considerable casualties upon the elite soldiers of Daqin who had been dispatched to Baiyue.
Nevertheless, faced with overwhelming and absolute strength, Baiyue could ultimately offer no meaningful resistance, and its pacification was inevitable.
Following the subjugation of the Baiyue tribes, the Jiuli tribal members found themselves in a state of disbelief. Daqin, rather than imposing harsh treatment, extended a gesture of kindness. They distributed essential food supplies, proceeded to build highways, constructed vital waterways, directed water resources into Baiyue, and worked to dissipate the pervasive miasma.
In a mere span of two to three months, the Jiuli Clan, who had endured millennia in Baiyue, began to truly comprehend the stark contrast in their circumstances.
