Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 853 Chapter 347: Father, I Want to Give the Immortals and Gods a Grand Gift! Hao Tian's Fury!

"Has the State Preceptor's cultivation base reached a new level?"

Zhao Feng inquired with a smile, directing his gaze towards Guiguzi.

"It is all thanks to His Majesty and the Crown Prince's benevolent blessings," Guiguzi replied with a smile.

"With the added national fortune of Qin, I was fortunate enough to achieve a breakthrough." Guiguzi's face was wreathed in a smile.

The Golden Immortal Realm!

The gateway to the true Immortal Realm.

Ascension to the Golden Immortal stage signified a marked enhancement in one's power.

Guiguzi had long yearned for this very realm, yet centuries of effort had yielded no results in his quest to break through.

Unexpectedly, through an extraordinary twist of fate in the mortal world, such profound serendipity was unearthed.

"State Preceptor."

"I bestow upon you a divine skill; utilize this skill to journey to the drought-afflicted regions of Qin and invoke the rain." Zhao Feng instructed Guiguzi.

"Summoning rain requires the authority vested in the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan."

"What manner of divine skill is this?" Guiguzi exclaimed in surprise.

Without further explanation, Zhao Feng transmitted the divine skill, [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain], to Guiguzi via the Tian Xuan Mirror.

Upon perusing the methods described within this divine skill.

Guiguzi bowed with deep reverence: "I shall depart immediately."

Without delay.

Guiguzi tore through the void, making his way towards the parched lands.

"The State Preceptor's might is truly that of a True Immortal."

As Guiguzi vanished in an instant.

Among the assembled civil and military officials, a significant number felt a pang of envy.

"I have a decree to be proclaimed throughout the realm."

"From this day forth."

"Every family within the Huaxia and Jiuli Clans under Qin's dominion."

"Shall receive a reward of one hundred contribution points for each newborn child registered, with no ceiling on the total." Zhao Feng announced loudly, addressing the court officials.

In unison.

The ministers offered their unhesitating assent: "We accept the decree."

Following the ministers' departure and the adjournment of the morning session.

Within the Hall of Morning Discussions.

Father and son sat side by side on the steps leading up to the throne.

"Feng'er."

"Your strategy of rewarding newborn registrations; is it intended to spur Qin's population growth?" Ying Zheng inquired with a smile.

"Qin's current population, under ninety million, is far too sparse for its vast territory."

"A larger populace is indispensable; the greater the number of people, the higher the probability of discovering individuals with cultivation talent, the more formidable practitioners will emerge, and consequently, the stronger Qin's national fortune will become."

"Therefore, population serves as a cornerstone for Qin's strength." Zhao Feng stated with gravitas.

"Indeed."

Ying Zheng nodded, a shadow of concern crossing his features.

"Though the calamity orchestrated by immortals and gods has passed, might they not resort to other insidious methods?" Ying Zheng voiced his apprehension.

"The Nine Provinces Barrier has been erected, fortified by the nation's fortune; their divine might can no longer breach the Qin Territory."

"Father need not harbor excessive worry."

"However, since they have initiated hostilities, I too must present them with a substantial 'gift'." Zhao Feng's lips curved into a faint, cold smile.

"Shenzhou is a Lower Realm, while they reside in the Upper Realm; how can you possibly confront them?" Ying Zheng asked, utterly astonished.

"Father."

"I have acquired a supreme treasure capable of bridging the two realms."

"I have already dispatched a contingent of elite soldiers into the Immortal Realm; they are systematically establishing their presence."

"Soon, they should be able to relay intelligence back." Zhao Feng explained.

"The Immortal Realm is the Upper Realm; even if those elite soldiers are all Grandmasters, compared to true immortals, they are but ants. Can they truly survive?" Ying Zheng's expression shifted dramatically.

"Father."

"Not all inhabitants of the Upper Realm are immortals; mortals also reside there."

"Upon their insertion into the Immortal Realm, they will establish themselves independently, and I have imparted to them the technique for concealing their auras, rendering their vital energy less potent than that of ordinary individuals."

"Their deployment to the Immortal Realm is primarily for the purpose of gathering reconnaissance." Zhao Feng clarified.

"While Qin is undoubtedly powerful in the mortal world at present, it cannot yet contend with the true forces of the Immortal Realm."

"Should Qin one day ascend to comparable strength, the dynamics of engagement will inevitably shift." Ying Zheng remarked, a sense of deep reluctance evident in his tone.

Confronted by the might of immortals and gods, Ying Zheng's anger was palpable and genuine.

Had Qin possessed sufficient strength at this juncture, Ying Zheng would have unhesitatingly ordered a full-scale assault on the Immortal Realm, rather than passively enduring the machinations of celestial beings.

"Rest assured, Father."

"That day is not as distant as you might imagine."

"A single day in the heavens equates to a year in the mortal realm."

"We still possess ample time."

"Moreover, the cultivation resources available in the mortal world are ample enough to elevate Qin into a formidable cultivation nation."

"If it requires a decade, then fifty years; if not fifty, then perhaps a century."

"Qin currently possesses abundant time."

"Our primary objective must be to expand the population as broadly as possible and bolster Qin's overall cultivation strength."

"Indeed."

"Furthermore, we must accelerate our efforts to conquer the mortal world."

"Should we succeed in unifying the entire mortal realm, Qin may very well ascend to the status of an Emperor Dynasty," Zhao Feng declared with a solemn expression.

"Precisely." Ying Zheng also concurred, stating, "The ongoing expedition shall not cease. With the Northern Frontier now pacified, Qin's military might can advance westward. Upon conquering the entire mortal world, Qin's population will undoubtedly reach its zenith."

"However, concerning the advancement of cultivation, I have issued a decree mandating full support for its promotion. The Academic Palace is instructed to increase its selection of talented civilians with cultivation potential, and to intensify their training should they be admitted."

"Ultimately, it has been less than two years since the dissemination of these techniques; time is still a crucial factor," Ying Zheng elaborated.

"Yes."

"Following the transmission of techniques, the need for time persists," Zhao Feng also concurred with a sigh.

Presently, Qin has unlocked a multitude of resources to foster cultivation among its populace.

As long as civilians demonstrate cultivation aptitude, they are immediately summoned to the Academic Palace for training, where they are bestowed with advanced martial arts techniques, spirit stones, and elixirs.

Two years have passed since the widespread transmission of cultivation methods.

This period is currently one of consolidation.

Yet, bolstered by Qin's abundant resources and comprehensive support, a rapid emergence of cultivation experts within Qin is anticipated, potentially within two years, or five at the very latest.

"Oh, by the way."

"What are your thoughts on the matter involving the bald monk?"

Ying Zheng then recalled the monk who had been apprehended and subsequently rendered incoherent.
