"Disperse it far and wide, vanishing without a trace. Don't confine its spread to just this Yellow Wind Country; let it reach the surrounding nations if possible."
"The Immortal Miasma is neither colored nor scented, and it possesses no discernible form."
"It can spread through mutual contamination, via any medium, and can even be propagated through the very act of cultivators engaging in battle."
"Immortals and Gods descend, bringing ruin to Shenzhou. This Immortal Miasma shall be the very first grand gift I bestow upon them."
"All Dark Guards within Yanting are capable of withstanding this Immortal Miasma without suffering any harm," Zhao Feng declared with an icy smirk.
"Understood, my lord," Ying Bu responded, nodding his head emphatically.
"Naturally."
"You must ensure this Immortal Miasma spreads at an accelerated pace. Do not restrict it solely to the Yellow Wind Country, lest the Immortals and Gods detect it. If they do, they will assuredly obliterate the entire Yellow Wind Country," Zhao Feng reiterated with a stern tone.
Immortals and Gods are beings devoid of mercy.
Their actions are unrestrained by compassion.
The moment they pinpoint the origin of the Immortal Miasma, they will undoubtedly move to eradicate it.
The demise of living beings holds no significance to them.
"Understood, my lord," Ying Bu affirmed with a decisive nod.
"Now that the Celestial Profound Mirror possesses the capability to transmit items between two realms, your movements are no longer constrained. You may procure all manner of Spirit Roots and Spirit Fruits under the pretense of brewing wine in the Earth Immortal Realm, exchanging Spirit Stones for them."
"Furthermore, all secret manuals of Immortal Techniques, divine power secret arts, formidable magical treasures and divine weapons, along with methods for alchemy and artifact refinement, and even materials for refining, can all be acquired."
"Whatever the quantity of Spirit Stones required, I shall provide them," Zhao Feng pledged.
"Of course."
"Extreme caution is paramount in all dealings. This Earth Immortal Realm lacks genuine order; the semblance of order you perceive is merely a facade. Fortifying your strength is the fundamental objective," Zhao Feng stated gravely.
"Understood, my lord," Ying Bu replied, nodding emphatically.
"Should any issues arise, transmit a message to me directly."
Zhao Feng gave a nod, and the figure within the Celestial Profound Mirror began to fade away.
"Farewell, my lord," Ying Bu bowed respectfully before slowly putting away the Celestial Profound Mirror.
His consciousness then descended into the space within the Celestial Profound Mirror.
Indeed.
Ten thousand porcelain bottles materialized.
Ying Bu retrieved one bottle.
Upon uncorking it and peering inside.
An invisible aura immediately permeated his body.
Ying Bu remained entirely unaware of its presence.
"The Immortal Miasma."
"Immortals and Gods, Demons – you shall all savor this treat," a chilling smile played on Ying Bu's lips.
Qin.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
"The grand gift has been dispatched."
"Now, we simply await the reaction; it will take time to fester and spread."
"I sincerely hope you all appreciate the gift I have sent."
"Mortals are forbidden from consuming it, and Spiritual Charms shall not be taken."
"I have severed your path to longevity."
"Unwittingly, this act has also preserved countless mortal lives."
Having successfully delivered the Immortal Miasma into the Earth Immortal Realm, Zhao Feng wore a broad smile.
He was filled with anticipation for the changes the Immortal Miasma would undoubtedly bring to the Immortal Realm.
"Oh, right. With the dynasty's advancement, the Empire Panel is also undergoing a transformation."
"The Mystic Bird Totem Attribute should now allow for another selection," Zhao Feng suddenly recalled this detail.
Immediately.
He initiated the summoning of the Mystic Bird Totem Attribute.
Soldier: Invokes the might of soldiers through the Power of National Fortune, bestowing a 40% combat power boost upon the nation's army, derived from the Dynasty's top-grade National Fortune.
Abundance: Within the nation's borders, ensures favorable weather and a fourfold increase in harvest yields.
Cultivation: Within the nation's borders, accelerates cultivation speed for all citizens by a factor of four.
Spirit: Within the nation's borders, increases the chance of newborns possessing cultivation talent by 40%.
"At the time of the Dynasty's establishment, I selected [Cultivation]. Now that I have implemented measures for population growth, the new populace of Qin will flourish at an unprecedented rate."
"Therefore, it is logical to choose [Spirit]. Qin will undoubtedly produce a greater number of cultivation talents."
This time.
Zhao Feng unhesitatingly selected Spirit.
Consequently, an increased number of infants with innate cultivation talent would be born within Qin.
With the burgeoning National Fortune, this effect would magnify even further.
After making his selection for the Mystic Bird National Fortune Attribute.
"Next, I must focus on cultivating divine skills, refining Spiritual Fire and Magical Treasures, and enhancing my own cultivation," Zhao Feng mused as he entered a state of secluded cultivation.
...
To the west of Shenzhou lies the Western Borders!
This region encompasses thirty-six smaller nations.
Perpetual conflict simmers between them, yet an unseen power preserves equilibrium, ensuring that for countless years, none of the thirty-six nations have faced utter ruin.
And within these thirty-six realms,
the Buddhist Sect holds reverence in most.
Their creed dictates enduring this life's hardships,
with the promise of rebirth into nobility in the next.
And in the most formidable nation among the Western Borders' thirty-six, the land of Wusun!
Within Wusun, the pinnacle of luxury and extravagance is not the royal Wusun Palace, but a colossal Buddhist temple.
In the heart of the capital city,
a constant stream of monks can be observed moving to and fro.
Yet, these are not the ascetic figures of spiritual devotion, but rather stout, more robust individuals than the common populace.
On the thoroughfares,
when ordinary citizens encounter these monks, they fall to their knees in respectful deference, hearts trembling with awe and apprehension.
It is abundantly clear.
In Wusun Country, these followers of Buddha command an exceptionally elevated standing.
Within the grand and opulent Buddhist temple,
soaring golden effigies enhance the atmosphere of lavishness.
Beneath the resplendent golden Buddha,
a multitude of monks, draped in kasayas, are seated in meditation.
Each is enveloped by a subtle aura of Buddha Light, bestowing upon them an air of profound sanctity.
"Esteemed Abbot."
"Falin has been in Shenzhou for a full month, yet no word has emerged from him. Could some misfortune have befallen him?"
A Buddhist Practitioner voiced his concern.
"Falin commands the power to Refine the Void and Merge with the Path, and he already possesses a Shariputra."
"Who in Shenzhou could possibly pose a threat to him?"
The Buddhist Practitioner occupying the central, elevated futon seat spoke with measured words.
He was none other than Fazhi, the preeminent leader of the Western Borders' Buddhist followers.
A faint trace of malevolent energy lurked beneath the pervasive Buddha Light, betraying his nature as a Demon Cultivator.
"When Falin departed for Shenzhou, he pledged to return within ten days. However, considerably more time has now elapsed."
"I harbor serious concerns that something untoward may indeed have transpired."
"The Qi Fortune of Qin is presently flourishing, and an Immortal Envoy from Penglai met an inexplicable end for no discernible reason; this incident must surely be the machinations of Shenzhou."
"In my humble estimation, we should consider launching a preemptive strike."
