Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 838 Chapter 340: Opening the Passage to the Earth Immortal Realm! Counterattack Vanguard!

Zhao Feng offered Ying Zheng a smile as he heard his question.

"The might of the Nine Tripods is more than enough to safeguard the people of Qin," Zhao Feng replied.

"Once Qin ascends to the status of a dynasty, we can harness its national fortune to activate the Nine Tripods. This will stabilize the Nine Provinces and erect the Nine Provinces Barrier," he explained.

"Within this barrier, any demonic entities will be revealed, and even immortals and gods will be unable to breach it."

"The barrier's resilience will be directly proportional to the strength of our national fortune."

"With this in place, we shall have nothing to fear from any external calamities," Zhao Feng stated with a confident smile.

"The Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia, the Nine Provinces Barrier..."

"These are truly divine artifacts of the Human Race, possessing such incredible capabilities!" Ying Zheng exclaimed, his face alight with excitement.

"Father," Zhao Feng began.

"Now that the Baiyue region is pacified and Qin's internal affairs are in order, our next objective is to gain complete dominion over the Mortal World."

"Only by doing so can Qin's accumulated national fortune grow more potent," Zhao Feng declared solemnly.

"This will prepare us to face those immortals and gods in the future."

"I understand completely," Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Furthermore," Zhao Feng continued.

"I have acquired a supreme treasure that will enable Qin's army to traverse through space and into the Immortal Realm." He spoke the words with a gentle tone.

Ying Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "Truly?"

"Indeed, it is true, though it has yet to be tested," Zhao Feng responded with a chuckle.

"Feng'er, what exactly are you contemplating?" Ying Zheng's demeanor shifted to one of grave seriousness.

"Father, I have spoken of this to you before."

"This Shenzhou was originally a part of the Immortal Realm, forcibly severed by a cultivator of immense divine ability from our Human Race, thus separating it from the greater Immortal Realm."

"What remains on Shenzhou is the final vestige of the Human Race's fortune, a fortune not under the control of those powerful divine ability practitioners."

"It is precisely because of Shenzhou's continued existence that this fortune persists."

"The immortals and gods residing above cast their covetous gazes upon it. Qin's existence, or rather, Shenzhou's existence, presents an obstacle to their acquisition of this fortune."

"Shenzhou, Qin, and all beings upon it are merely their intended prey."

"Eventually, Shenzhou will be reabsorbed into the Immortal Realm, and its inhabitants will face destruction at the hands of immortals and gods."

"This fate is inescapable," Zhao Feng stated, his voice heavy with profound gravity.

"Feng'er," Ying Zheng began, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"I confess to harboring some doubts myself. While the power of national fortune is undeniably formidable, these immortals and gods occupy a higher plane. The Immortal Realm, as you describe it, is vast; surely their own fortunes are far greater. Why then would they covet this small Mortal World?" Ying Zheng inquired calmly.

"Because..."

Without further explanation, Zhao Feng merely waved his hand. A subtle, invisible rule of the Human Dao manifested within the hall, imperceptible to the senses yet undeniably present.

"This is the fortune of Shenzhou, the last remnant of the Human Dao's fortune in existence," Zhao Feng declared slowly.

"Whoever manages to attain it may very well achieve further advancement."

"So, Feng'er, you intend to take the initiative?"

Ying Zheng asked immediately, his understanding of his son allowing him to grasp his intentions instantly.

"Since they are not yet able to descend, why should we not strike first?"

"I refuse to passively await their assault in the future," Zhao Feng retorted with a cold laugh.

"What shall I do to assist you?" Ying Zheng inquired seriously.

"Undertake a full-scale conquest to claim this entire Mortal World." Zhao Feng stated his objective clearly.

"Very well."

Ying Zheng did not hesitate.

He was acutely aware of the challenges his son was confronting.

And the formidable trials Qin would inevitably face in the times ahead.

Regarding the Immortal Realm, he possessed little understanding.

As for the true might of immortals and gods, Ying Zheng had no clear perception.

However!

He could place his unwavering trust in his son and offer his assistance without reservation.

"Minister Wang Jian requests an audience with Your Majesty!"

At that very moment!

An urgent voice echoed from outside the hall – it was Wang Jian.

"Enter," Ying Zheng commanded, regaining his composure as he called out towards the entrance.

Wang Jian strode into the hall.

"The Crown Prince is also present."

Noticing Zhao Feng's presence, Wang Jian offered a smile.

"Grand Commandant, what news do you bring?" Ying Zheng inquired.

"An urgent dispatch from the Northern Frontier."

"The Donghu and Xiongnu tribes have mobilized their forces."

Wang Jian announced, his expression remaining unfazed; in fact, a hint of anticipation flickered within it.

"Excellent."

Ying Zheng's brow twitched, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes. "The Crown Prince unified Shenzhou within three years and established Baiyue! I have been waiting for these Foreign Tribes to make their move! Have you ascertained the number of troops the Foreign Tribes have mobilized?"

"This time, the Foreign Tribes come with the intent to annihilate Qin. Donghu has mobilized four hundred thousand troops, deploying their entire tribal strength," Wang Jian responded.

"The Xiongnu, though slightly weaker, have also marshaled nearly three hundred thousand soldiers."

"Indeed, they come with their full tribal might to invade," Ying Zheng mused.

"This suits Qin's plans perfectly."

"Issue my decree," Ying Zheng commanded.

"To the Northern Frontier, to Lantian."

"Mobilize the troops. First, secure the borders and await the Foreign Tribes' assault."

"Once they arrive, we shall capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Slay those who can be slain; and for the Foreign Tribes that cannot be killed, enslave every last one of them for me!" Ying Zheng stated coldly.

"Your minister accepts the decree," Wang Jian gladly accepted the order.

"When the Foreign Tribes arrive, I will personally journey to the Northern Frontier to oversee the conflict," Zhao Feng declared.

"Inform the elite soldiers of the Northern Frontier and Lantian camps," Zhao Feng immediately added.

"Your minister understands," Wang Jian promptly nodded.

This impending invasion by the Foreign Tribes...

...was precisely what Zhao Feng needed to gather a wave of attribute points and further enhance his strength.

"Grand Commandant, proceed with deploying the troops," Ying Zheng instructed.

"As for the provisions and supplies..."

"I will issue orders to the three State Governors of the Northern Frontier to gather provisions and dispatch them to the Northern Frontier."

"The supply lines will not be severed," Ying Zheng assured.

Currently, Qin's national treasury was brimming, and the county treasuries were even more abundant.

Consequently...

Ying Zheng had long since given the order to vigorously construct granaries across various states and county mansions for grain storage.

The grain was no longer concentrated in just a few locations.

It was precisely because of this strategic distribution.

That Qin could now more easily mobilize and dispatch provisions when moving its armies.

"Your minister accepts the decree," Wang Jian bowed.

He then slowly exited the hall.

"First, we shall annihilate the Donghu and Xiongnu tribes, seize the fortunes of both, and then subjugate the various countries in the Western Borders."

"Now, Qin's granaries are sufficient to support the million elite soldiers for ten years of campaign needs."
