Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 871 Chapter 353: Opening the Treasure Box Again! Massive Windfall! Endless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
Beyond the city!
The military encampment has been set up.
The Capital City Army is guarding the perimeter, permitting no one to approach.
Zhao Feng is overseeing the camp.
"We pay our respects to Your Highness."
Upon Zhao Feng's arrival, the assembled generals offered a ceremonial bow.
"Luo Hua."
"Are you the one leading this expedition?"
Zhao Feng inquired with a smile, spotting the main general at the forefront.
Hearing his name called, Luo Hua's excitement surged, and he immediately responded, "Reporting to Your Highness, I have mustered the troops and am leading them back to Xianyang this time."
"Not bad."
"You have achieved the Grandmaster Realm."
"Once you enter the cultivation grounds this time, you should be able to break through to the Great Grandmaster."
"Keep up the effort," Zhao Feng encouraged with a smile.
"I will not disappoint you, Your Highness," Luo Hua declared, his heart filled with elation.
He had been a loyal subordinate before Zhao Feng's return to the Imperial Family.
Luo Hua had served under Zhao Feng's command even when Zhao Feng was merely an Army Marquis.
Time had indeed marched on.
Luo Hua had also smoothly ascended to become a main general of Great Qin, not stationed at the Wu'an Military Camp, but as a key commander in the Northern Garrison.
"Assemble everyone."
Zhao Feng issued the command.
"Understood."
The generals acknowledged the order and swiftly departed to carry it out.
Soon thereafter.
The resonant sound of assembly drums reverberated throughout the camp.
Not long passed.
Outside the perimeter of the camp.
One hundred thousand elite soldiers had gathered, accompanied by numerous students from the Academic Palace and alchemists from the Elixir Hall.
"We pay our respects to the Crown Prince."
All present bowed before the camp, their voices united in a single, resounding cry.
"All rise."
Zhao Feng gestured, signaling them to stand.
"Thank you, Crown Prince."
A collective reply echoed, every gaze fixed upon Zhao Feng, brimming with reverence and fervent devotion.
They looked upon him as if he were an object of their deepest faith.
The name of Ying Zheng.
The name of Zhao Feng.
Within the entirety of the Great Qin Empire, these names were as legendary as myths.
Many years ago.
Great Qin might have been fragmented amongst various warring states, but that era was long gone; all of Shenzhou now belonged to the people of Qin.
"This year."
"Marks the third year since the New Calendar initiated the dissemination of knowledge and laws."
"Our Great Qin has spread its laws and wisdom across the world for over three years, fostering advancements in martial arts, the Immortal Path, various forms of alchemy, and artifact refining. This has led to the emergence of countless martial artists, cultivators, alchemists, and artifact refiners within Great Qin."
"Were we to face only mortals, Great Qin would be utterly invincible."
"The Great Qin is no longer a mere mortal kingdom."
"However."
"In realms beyond your perception, the enemies arrayed against Great Qin are formidable; they encircle us like a pack of ravenous wolves, viewing our empire as mere prey, poised to strike and devour us."
"These adversaries are beings you have likely heard of—the Immortals and the Buddhas."
"Do not harbor the misconception that Immortals and Buddhas are benevolent or compassionate towards mortals!"
"That is incorrect."
"Everything you believe is wrong."
"Immortals and Buddhas are akin to demons, consuming mortals for sustenance! The Immortals and Gods are devoid of empathy, treating us mortals as mere playthings, like straw dogs!"
"I must impress upon you: do not revere Immortals and Buddhas as deities, nor should you ever deify them."
"For they are the sworn enemies of our Great Qin."
"Enemies until the bitter end."
Zhao Feng's authoritative voice boomed, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
His words struck the assembled crowd with profound shock.
Immeasurable astonishment appeared on countless faces.
It was evident.
They were as stunned as the Civil and Military officials of Daqin had been upon first hearing this revelation.
Yet.
Following a brief moment of stunned silence.
"We pledge our eternal loyalty to Great Qin!"
"Should the Immortals and Buddhas dare to invade our Great Qin, we shall fight them to the last man!"
"Pledging our loyalty to Great Qin..."
A thunderous chorus of oaths filled the heavens.
The elite soldiers of Daqin, the students of the Academic Palace—all are the true prodigies of Great Qin.
While they might have once held a degree of reverence for the Immortals and Gods depicted in ancient texts.
If these beings were to become the future adversaries of Great Qin, they would fear nothing and would vow to fight valiantly.
"Excellent."
"These are indeed the extraordinary people of our Great Qin."
Zhao Feng proclaimed with hearty laughter.
"Today."
"I shall send you into a sacred cultivation realm; within its confines, one year in Great Qin equates to fifty years inside."
"You are the inaugural group selected to enter these hallowed grounds, and I hold high hopes for your cultivation breakthroughs during your sojourn."
"Now, all of you, relax completely; I will now transport you into the cultivation grounds."
Zhao Feng declared.
His divine consciousness expanded instantaneously.
In the briefest flicker of an eye.
Every individual outside the camp fell under Zhao Feng's immense spiritual purview.
With a mere thought of his divine sense, not a single soul was left behind; all were transported into the Minor World.
Within the Minor World!
Over one hundred thousand individuals now found themselves within this enclosed space.
An area spanning a hundred miles was more than sufficient to house them all.
"This realm serves as your cultivation ground. The spiritual Qi of heaven and earth here is many times stronger than that found in Shenzhou, and the Tian Xuan Mirror can also be utilized within these bounds."
"For those who cultivate here, the Tian Xuan Mirror's cultivation space offers unlimited use, requiring no contribution points."
"Once a month has elapsed in Shenzhou, I shall personally escort you out."
"As for sustenance, provisions will be delivered every ten days."
Zhao Feng's voice resonated in the ears of everyone present.
"We thank Your Highness."
A collective chorus of gratitude erupted.
Subsequently.
All of them immediately commenced their cultivation.
With all arrangements finalized.
Zhao Feng's divine thought did not recede at once; instead, he continued to observe the unfolding situation within the Minor World.
The temporal flow had already been altered.
Development within the Minor World was proceeding at an astonishing pace.
Since the acquisition of the Time Law, approximately eight months had passed in Shenzhou, while decades had swept by within the Minor World.
The population of the Minor World now exceeded five million.
"Manipulating the flow of time is indeed a formidable weapon."
"In due course, everything within this Minor World will transform into a potent blade in my arsenal."
"Furthermore, as the number of living beings and powerful cultivators increases, it significantly propels the Minor World's own advancement."
"The very laws of heaven and earth are becoming more complete and refined."
"Perhaps in the future, should someone manage to break through to the Martial Arts Great Power Realm within the Minor World and comprehend the underlying laws, they might also bestow benefits upon the Minor World, enabling it to grasp these laws."
Zhao Feng mused, lost in contemplation.
The way of the world.
The progress and evolution of a world operated on principles distinct from those of its inhabitants.
However.
Zhao Feng did not linger any longer.
