"Three Fifth-tier Treasure Boxes, one Fourth-tier Treasure Box."
"At the Martial Dao to Divinity level, the treasure boxes are still Fifth-tier."
"It seems only after all attributes surpass the Great Power of Martial Arts will Sixth-tier Treasure Boxes be obtained."
"That's not too bad."
"A Fifth-tier Treasure Box, with a bit of luck, could yield a Supreme Treasure."
Zhao Feng mused internally.
Then.
"Open all the Treasure Boxes," Zhao Feng commanded.
"Opening the Fourth-tier Treasure Box."
"Acquired the Spirit Fire [Burning Spirit Flame]."
"Opening the Fifth-tier Treasure Box."
"Obtained the Divine Skill [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain]."
"Obtained the Innate Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure [Soul Suppressing Stele]."
"Obtained the Innate-Level Spirit Poison [Immortal Miasma]," the system interface indicated.
"Decent luck."
"Acquired several Spiritual Objects."
"And the Divine Skill, Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, though not an offensive ability, it's a beneficial skill for civilian use and can be taught to Guiguzi and Qin's immortal cultivators."
"The Soul Suppressing Stele, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, this is a significant gain."
"But what exactly is this Immortal Miasma? An Innate-Level Spirit Poison?"
Zhao Feng wondered with a touch of curiosity.
Immediately.
Zhao Feng proceeded to extract the [Immortal Miasma].
A peculiar, worm-like black substance materialized in Zhao Feng's hand.
It was neither fire nor water.
To reach the Innate Level as a Spiritual Object signifies it's of a high-tier.
At this moment.
Zhao Feng focused his gaze.
The attributes of this Immortal Miasma became visible before him.
Immortal Miasma: A supreme poison originating from the heavens, formless and intangible. It can infiltrate the bodies of mortals below the Immortal Realm, permeating flesh and blood. When cultivators indiscriminately slaughter mortals, they will be afflicted by the Immortal Miasma. At minimum, their cultivation will be severely damaged, and their lifespan reduced; in severe cases, they will perish! Killing accelerates the spread of the Immortal Miasma!
"This is a Spirit Poison?"
"This is unequivocally a weapon against Immortals and Gods!"
Upon comprehending the attributes of the Immortal Miasma, Zhao Feng was taken aback. A slight curl formed on his lips, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
If this were a world governed by order, where Immortals and mortals existed in complete separation, the effect of the Immortal Miasma might be negligible due to such distinct boundaries.
However, the world Zhao Feng currently inhabited was a Shenzhou situated within the mortal realm, separate from the Earth Immortal Realm, yet destined to eventually fall under its dominion.
Moreover.
The Immortals of this world operated without adherence to any moral code, and the so-called Heavenly Court was far from embodying true fairness and justice.
From Zhao Feng's understanding of the Immortals and Gods of the Earth Immortal Realm, they exploited the mortal race for sustenance, harvesting their vital essence.
Even demonic beings preyed upon mortals, consuming their life force.
The so-called Immortals and cultivators not only terminated mortal lives but also utilized them as a source of nourishment.
This Immortal Miasma served as a potent weapon against such beings.
"This Immortal Miasma can integrate into the bodies of mortals below the Immortal stage. If I were to disseminate it throughout the Earth Immortal Realm, how would those Immortals who treat mortals as mere sustenance fare?"
Contemplating this prospect.
Zhao Feng's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Without question.
This was not merely a Spirit Poison found within a Spiritual Treasure; it possessed the capacity to fundamentally disrupt the Immortals' parasitic relationship with mortals.
In the future, should they attempt to slaughter mortals en masse, those with lesser cultivation would likely face direct retribution from the Immortal Miasma.
"Refine it. It absolutely must be refined."
"This Immortal Miasma will undoubtedly provide those Immortals with a unique surprise."
Gazing at the Immortal Miasma before him, Zhao Feng felt a surge of excitement.
His joy surpassed that of acquiring the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Soul Suppressing Stele.
This item offered a means to counter the Immortals of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Immediately.
Zhao Feng commenced the process of refining this Spirit Poison.
Although the Immortal Miasma was not classified as a Magical Treasure, it was a Spiritual Object. Similar to the Spiritual Fire Zhao Feng had obtained, it could be refined for personal utilization.
Swiftly.
Having obtained it from a treasure box, Zhao Feng encountered no impediments in successfully refining the Immortal Miasma.
With a subtle flick of his wrist.
A faint, dark aura shimmered in his palm before vanishing, becoming formless once more.
"Immortals and Gods."
"Just you wait, I shall present you with a grand gift," Zhao Feng sneered, his anticipation palpable.
However.
The Burning Spirit Flame.
The Soul Suppressing Stele.
And the Divine Skill [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain].
Zhao Feng diligently began to comprehend and refine these newfound abilities.
...
The Northern Frontier!
Qin's formidable elite forces launched a full-scale offensive across three fronts.
Under the command of Zhao Feng, the Logistics Army, numbering three hundred thousand strong, advanced into the vast Northern Frontier Great Desert.
Their mission: to establish cities within this arid expanse.
Aided by the Tian Xuan Mirror, timber was sourced from within Qin's borders, bricks were prepared, and the Logistics Army undertook the mammoth construction task. Gradually, Qin's cities began to dot the desolate landscape of the Northern Frontier.
With every territory Qin conquered.
All the foreign tribes were systematically integrated into these newly built cities.
Controlling nomadic peoples proved challenging.
Yet, Zhao Feng's ultimate objective was the complete subjugation of the Donghu and Xiongnu tribes.
The Xiongnu tribe.
Under the leadership of Modu, who had pledged allegiance, their affairs were being managed with meticulous order.
Witnessing Zhao Feng's power, which seemed no less than that of an Immortal, Modu offered no resistance, only complete obedience.
As for the Donghu.
The three elite army camps relentlessly pushed forward.
Strengthened by advancements in martial arts, the Donghu tribes found themselves unable to contend with Qin's might. Entire tribes were annihilated, and countless Donghu people were forcibly relocated into the cities constructed by Qin.
Time marched on.
Three months passed.
Five months weathered the storm.
Six months yielded further progress.
Eight months later.
The Donghu and Xiongnu tribes had been entirely brought under Qin's dominion. Now, the Northern Frontier Great Desert was being fortified with an ever-increasing number of cities, to which the populations of these two tribes were being migrated.
Within the Morning Discussion Hall!
Declaring their respects, "To Your Majesty."
"The Northern Frontier is now completely pacified."
"Today."
"All the Donghu and Xiongnu, save for a scattered few who managed to flee and join the remnants of the Yuezhi, are now under Qin's firm control."
"A population exceeding twenty million souls, all integrated into Qin's administrative system."
"Currently, the Northern Frontier is undergoing rapid development with city construction progressing alongside military operations. Over three hundred cities have already been erected across the Northern Frontier Great Desert, and this number continues to grow steadily."
