Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 851 Chapter 346: Devouring Qi Fortune, Advancing to Dynasty! Nine Provinces Barrier, Activate!
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
Immortals and Gods, Buddha!
The fundamental reason they seize Qi Fortune is to advance their cultivation.
The more potent the Qi Fortune, the greater its assistance to cultivation.
It is much like Zhao Feng's current situation, blessed with Human Dao Qi Fortune. The stronger Qin becomes, the greater the Human Dao Qi Fortune; the more Qi Fortune Zhao Feng accrues from the Human Dao Authority, the more All Attributes shall increase.
For Immortals and Gods, aside from the most brutal methods of sustenance, another method to seize Qi Fortune is through devotion. When mortals place their faith in them, they can acquire Qi Fortune.
The eastern propagation of Buddhist Law during the Journey to the West is precisely for the purpose of seizing Qi Fortune.
"The Crown Prince's intentions."
"Deeply resonate within my heart."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly, directly signifying his agreement.
Both Immortals and Buddhas seek to eradicate Qin, feeding upon the people of Shenzhou.
Such Immortals and Buddhas wish to spread their belief throughout Shenzhou?
How could such a thing possibly occur.
The Qi Fortune of Qin will never be yielded to Immortals and Buddhas.
"Father."
"Since Qin's ascension through the defeat of the Six States, countless soldier souls have been sacrificed for the nation."
"These valiant soldiers must be eternally remembered by the people of Qin, forever basking in the incense offerings of Qin's populace."
"I intend to erect the Heroic Souls Mausoleum and establish the Heroic Soul Stele, ensuring the soldiers are perpetually revered." Zhao Feng declared immediately.
If Immortals and Buddhas must be excluded from Qin's sacred offerings.
Then Zhao Feng's sole intention is to fundamentally reshape belief.
Imperial authority shall become a belief, and the heroic souls shall serve as a spiritual sanctuary.
Thus, allowing the people of Qin to ardently pursue martial arts, not to deify Immortals and Buddhas, but solely to honor the imperial power and the heroic spirits of Qin's fallen soldiers.
"What of Li Mountain?"
Ying Zheng inquired with a smile.
"Your Majesty."
"Li Mountain is the location of the Imperial Mausoleum."
An Imperial Censor stepped forward to voice this statement.
However, after his words were spoken, his expression shifted to one of bewilderment, and he awkwardly withdrew.
"Imperial Censor Chen."
"Your Majesty is now one with the National Fortune and shall endure alongside the nation; what need is there for an Imperial Mausoleum?" Feng Quji inquired with a gentle smile.
And the censor who had just spoken offered a constrained smile in return.
"Your Majesty, please quell your anger, Crown Prince, please quell your anger."
"I regrettably believed Qin remained as it was in the past."
"I admit my transgression."
Imperial Censor Chen bowed profoundly, his countenance etched with contrition.
"My lifespan is intrinsically linked to the nation's."
"What purpose would an Imperial Mausoleum serve for me?"
"The Heroic Souls Mausoleum and Stele that the Crown Prince proposes are exceptionally significant for Qin."
"Utilizing the Imperial Mausoleum at Li Mountain as the site for the Heroic Souls Mausoleum aligns even more perfectly with Qin's profound regard for its soldiers." Ying Zheng stated definitively.
"Your Majesty is truly wise."
The assembled ministers proclaimed in unison.
"Let this matter be irrevocably decided."
"Chancellor Han."
"The monumental undertaking of constructing the Heroic Souls Mausoleum is hereby entrusted to your capable hands."
"Furthermore."
"Upon the mausoleum's completion, all remains of Qin soldiers interred elsewhere must be diligently transferred within."
"Dispatch the artifact refiners of the Artifact Refining Hall to craft the Heroic Soul Stele; I desire a towering Heroic Soul Stele that will allow every citizen to behold the illustrious names of those who valiantly sacrificed for Qin." Ying Zheng commanded with solemnity.
"I humbly accept this decree." Han Fei immediately affirmed.
"Father."
"This matter demands utmost urgency."
"Prioritize the promotion to Dynasty above all else."
"The Immortals and Gods have already laid their schemes, and the Buddhist Sect also harbors intentions to strike against Qin; once we ascend to Dynasty status, Qin shall erect the Nine Provinces Barrier, rendering their petty schemes utterly futile from this moment forth." Zhao Feng declared with grave earnestness.
Ying Zheng offered a solemn nod.
Then.
With a mere thought.
The National Treasure Jade Seal gracefully ascended into the boundless Void.
Mandated by Heaven, bestowing eternal prosperity.
Eight imposing characters proclaimed the supreme majesty of Qin.
Not subject to Heavenly Destiny, but divinely bestowed.
"In the esteemed name of Emperor Qin, I shall gather all territorial Qi Fortune into the National Fortune."
"Mystic Bird, arise."
"Promote Fortune, consolidate the National Fortune."
Ying Zheng pronounced with commanding majesty.
The Master of the Dynasty, his words like decrees of gold.
In the ensuing moment.
The National Fortune Mysterious Bird took flight, bearing an overwhelming pressure of National Fortune that manifested at the apex of the Void.
Under the guidance of the sacred Mystic Bird.
The Qi Fortune Power emanating from the Northern Frontier, Baiyue, and the Jiuli Clan were all assimilated into the Mystic Bird's form.
The combined populace of the Northern Frontier, exceeding thirty million, alongside several million from Jiuli, aggregated to a total of forty million souls. This immense Qi Fortune Power converged.
The Mystic Bird entity underwent a rapid and substantial expansion.
Ultimately.
Under the keen observation of the imperial court, the Mystic Bird shattered its previous limitations.
Its scale surged dramatically, surpassing four hundred feet, and its growth continued unabated.
It reached an impressive four hundred and seventy feet.
This signified the attainment of the Low Grade of the Dynasty.
The National Fortune began to flourish.
Henceforth, Qin's Yun Dynasty had officially ascended to the Low Grade of Dynasty status.
"With this elevation of National Fortune, I bestow its blessings upon the ministers of Qin," Ying Zheng declared with commanding authority.
"All ministers within Qin shall now receive the auspicious effects of the Dynasty's National Fortune."
His decree echoed, and the National Fortune Mystic Bird emanated a brilliant radiance before vanishing into the ethereal void.
Within the court assembled, civil and martial officials alike could distinctly perceive the augmentation of their National Fortune.
"I am on the verge of a breakthrough," one exclaimed.
In that very instant, numerous ministers engrossed in Martial Path cultivation experienced profound internal shifts.
Many who stood at the precipice of their cultivation journey immediately found themselves facing breakthroughs.
Grandmasters ascended to Great Grandmaster status, and those in the Innate Realm advanced to Grandmaster.
The entire court thrummed with the palpable aura of imminent cultivation advancements.
Meanwhile, within the hallowed grounds of the Capital City Academy in Xianyang City!
Guiguzi's demeanor shifted, a distinct smile of joy gracing his features.
"The National Fortune has surged."
"My cultivation is poised for a significant breakthrough."
"The Golden Immortal Realm awaits."
"Such a level is formidable, even within the Immortal Realm itself."
"To think that after surviving a great calamity, I would receive such subsequent blessings; not only have my injuries completely healed, but now this National Fortune Power is propelling me towards the Golden Immortal Realm!"
Overwhelmed with elation, Guiguzi immediately immersed himself in the process of breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The Golden Immortal Realm represented a significant threshold of power within the Immortal Realm.
Attaining this stage meant one could truly harness the Power of Laws to defend against formidable opponents.
And at this precise moment.
Coinciding with Qin's advancement to Dynasty status, a notification sound chimed simultaneously.
"Qin has been promoted to a Low Grade Dynasty."
"Human Dao Qi Fortune feedback received."
"100,000 All Attributes points collected."
"Does the Host wish to accept?" the interface clearly presented the prompt.
"Indeed," the Host confirmed.
"Qin is intrinsically bound to Human Dao; the greater Qin's National Fortune becomes, the stronger the Human Dao Qi Fortune, which in turn feeds back to me."
