Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 872 - 353: Open the Treasure Chest Again! Huge Haul! Endless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals! (2)

Divine Thought has returned victorious to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, a place now brimming with numerous treasure chests ripe for opening. Simultaneously, the intricate process of deducing my cultivation technique continues its relentless march forward.

"Open all treasure chests," Zhao Feng commanded, his voice echoing with authority.

"Open four Sixth Tier treasure chests."

"Acquired Innate Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure [Lingyun Bottle]."

"Acquired Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure [Earth Suppressing Seal]."

"Acquired Postnatal Treasure of Divine Ability [Fake Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation]."

"Acquired Principle Seed [Space Seed]."

The system panel displayed the spoils of his command.

"One Innate Spiritual Treasure, one Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, and one Postnatal Treasure," Zhao Feng mused. "This Postnatal Treasure is, in fact, an imitation of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation. While it doesn't quite reach the caliber of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, its full formation power would be devastatingly potent. And this Space Seed, my Minor World can absorb it, allowing me to grasp the laws of space as a consequence."

"Truly, the bounty from these Sixth Tier treasure chests is immense!"

A contented smile spread across Zhao Feng's face as he reviewed the rewards. This was an unparalleled bargain, an indisputable ocean of profit.

"What exactly is this Lingyun Bottle?"

With a mere thought, Zhao Feng manifested the Innate Spiritual Treasure he had acquired. A pristine white bottle materialized in his palm.

Upon closer inspection, the bottle's properties were revealed: Lingyun Bottle: When a living being is placed within, it can extract spiritual essence into the Dan, extending lifespan and enhancing cultivation! When a corpse is placed inside, residual spiritual essence can still be extracted!

"This object can siphon spiritual essence, even from deceased beings," Zhao Feng marveled. "If I were to vanquish immortals, gods, or demons in the future and place their corpses within this Lingyun Bottle, spiritual essence could still be harvested. Wouldn't that allow me to repurpose my defeated foes? Even if it's not directly usable by me, it would be incredibly beneficial for cultivators in Qin."

Observing the potent capabilities of this magical treasure, Zhao Feng let out a hearty laugh. "The Immortals and Buddhas of the Immortal Realm strive to extract spiritual essence by nurturing living beings. Perhaps I can invert this very methodology," he chuckled, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Earth Suppressing Seal!"

"Although reminiscent of the legendary Fan Tian Seal, its status as a Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure is more than sufficient."

"And then there's this Fake Slaying Immortal Sword Formation."

Zhao Feng focused his intent. He summoned forth the artifact.

A seal, radiating a powerful artifact aura, appeared in his hand. It was only palm-sized, but in its fully unleashed state, it could transform into an imposing ten thousand or even a hundred thousand zhang formation, descending with world-shattering power.

His gaze then turned to the Fake Slaying Immortal Sword Formation. The moment it was conjured, a terrifying, malevolent aura instantly permeated the surroundings, engulfing the entire hall. Thankfully, Zhao Feng was impervious to such sinister energies; otherwise, he would have undoubtedly been corrupted.

Four swords hovered before Zhao Feng, accompanied by an array map. Each sword pulsed with a sharp, piercing sword intent. "Impressive," he breathed. "No wonder it's classified as a Postnatal Treasure. Any one of these swords alone is a Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, with the main sword being even superior. When these four swords combine with the array map, they achieve a power equivalent to a Postnatal Treasure."

Zhao Feng, gazing upon the sword formation before him, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He examined the formation's attributes: Fake Slaying Immortal Sword Formation: The formation's power scales with the Array Master's cultivation; a stronger Array Master yields a stronger formation, which cannot be broken except by four cultivators of equal standing. Fake Slaying Immortal Sword: Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure. Fake Imprisoning Immortals Sword: Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure. Fake Absolute Immortal Sword: Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure. Fake Slaughter Immortal Sword: Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure. Extermination Diagram: Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure. This constituted the complete set for the sword formation.

"It can be said," Zhao Feng declared, "that this treasure chest was truly worth every bit. The might of a Postnatal Treasure surpasses that of ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"Such immense profit!"

"Next on the agenda."

"I shall utilize the Tianxuan Mirror to deduce my cultivation technique, then cultivate it to its peak to prepare for the Immortal Realm," Zhao Feng resolved internally.

He summoned the Tianxuan Mirror. As the national fortune of Qin grew more robust, the tether between the Tianxuan Mirror and the nation's destiny also strengthened, becoming ever more profound."Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, the method to elevate the physical body to sainthood." "The eighth transformation results in Quasi-Saint, and the ninth transformation achieves Saint." "Martial Emperor Dragon Canon." "Using the deduction capabilities of the Tianxuan Mirror, combined with the power of national fortune, to deduce cultivation techniques." Zhao Feng contemplated inwardly. Directly employing divine thought as a conduit, he infused both the Martial Arts Skill he had honed and the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill into the Tianxuan Mirror. And then. Swish! The Tian Xuan Mirror began to radiate with resplendent light. Within the void, a power derived from the Laws of Deduction descended. Zhao Feng guided the Tian Xuan Mirror, initiating the full deduction process. Time imperceptibly slipped away. ... In the Morning Discussion Hall! "Your Majesty," "A report has just been received from Senior General Wang Ben." "The various nations of the Western Borders have been utterly vanquished; not a single enemy nation remains in that region now," Yu Liao stepped forward and announced with a loud voice. "Zhong Fu." "Have the necessary officials for the newly acquired territories in the Western Borders been arranged?" Ying Zheng directed his gaze towards Lv Buwei. "Reporting to Your Majesty," "There are numerous scholars from the Academic Palace, and the majority can be considered for utilization following an assessment." "As soon as Your Majesty issues the edict, all three thousand students who have passed the assessment can proceed to the Western Borders to assume official posts." "Furthermore, over a hundred seasoned chief officers have already been selected, more than sufficient to undertake significant responsibilities." "However," "The matter concerning the vassal kings still necessitates Your Majesty's definitive decision," Lv Buwei responded promptly. "I already possess a clear vision regarding the vassal kings." "As for the administration of these lands, I must trouble Zhong Fu to exert considerable effort." Ying Zheng nodded in affirmation. "Please be assured, Your Majesty; this minister accepts this weighty responsibility without reservation." Lv Buwei immediately pledged. "Your Majesty," "Now that the Western Borders have been pacified, Senior Generals Wang Ben and Tu Sui have requested permission to press onward?" "According to the intelligence gathered by the two senior generals, there are still numerous foreign tribes, populations, and valuable resources situated beyond the Western Borders," Yu Liao rose and reported. "I have already declared." "The mortal realm is in constant flux." "The might of our Qin's sword shall not cease its conquest." "The annihilation of the various nations in the Western Borders was intrinsically aligned with our national strategy; it was merely their initiation of conflict that prompted our Qin's justified response." "Transmit my imperial decree." "Command Meng Wu and Li Mu to advance westward and assault the Yuezhi Country." "Order Wang Ben and Tu Sui to continue their westward offensive." "Regarding the military provisions required, Shaofu is to allocate resources with utmost priority, utilizing the Tian Xuan Mirror." "As for the territories already secured in these foreign lands, the Grand Commandant is to immediately dispatch prefecture soldiers to maintain order. Governance shall proceed under strict adherence to our established laws." "Naturally," "Our Qin's established policies must also be implemented: the distribution of land to the populace, the abolition of foreign scripts in favor of promoting the Qin script and Qin language, and the diligent exploration for spirit stone mines, all in accordance with previously set precedents," Ying Zheng stated with gravity. "This minister humbly accepts the imperial decree." ... Within the Immortal Realm, atop Kunlun Mountain! Towering mountains encircled the domain. This was once the hallowed ground of Saints. However, With the enigmatic disappearance of the Saints, the very fabric of heaven and earth underwent a profound transformation. Kunlun, once a pristine and sacred peak, no longer harbored true peace and tranquility. Within the void, lingering miasmas of blood qi, malevolent qi, and even tribulations qi permeated the atmosphere. And today, In the region of West Kunlun, Enveloped by a formidable grand array, A woman adorned in magnificent palace attire stood at the forefront. Behind her, tens of thousands of female immortals arrayed themselves. Each grasped divine weaponry and mystical treasures, their gazes fixed intently ahead, apprehension etched upon their faces. Before them, suspended in the expanse of the void, Innumerable Heavenly Soldiers occupied the zenith, emanating a terrifying, palpable killing intent. "Hao Tian." "Our West Kunlun has never harbored animosity towards your Heavenly Court; why have you marshalled your forces today?" The Queen Mother of the West fixed her gaze frigidly into the void and inquired. "Queen Mother of the West," "I shall not engage in superfluous words." "Surrender the Kunlun Mirror; merely lend it to me for a century, and I shall withdraw my forces immediately." "Otherwise, the Heavenly Court shall witness the bloodbath of West Kunlun." High above the swirling clouds, Hao Tian, seated upon his throne, issued his cold, unyielding demand. Between heaven and earth, Tribulation qi swirled menacingly, Intertwined with an endless miasma of malevolent qi. The so-called order in this realm was demonstrably nothing but a hollow jest.In bygone eras, the presence of Saints imposed order, yet in these current times, incessant warfare and territorial disputes among the dominant powers are a frequent occurrence throughout the Immortal Realm. It's a perpetual cycle of aggression: one strikes, the other retaliates, with the defeated being reduced to mere sustenance for the victors, their spiritual essence siphoned away. This brutal reality now defines the status quo within the Immortal Realm. "The Kunlun Mirror is the ultimate treasure in my possession, a divine gift bestowed upon me by the Tao Ancestor in antiquity." "As a disciple under the Tao Ancestor, are you not privy to this knowledge?" the Queen Mother of the West retorted with frigid disdain. Upon the mention of the Tao Ancestor's name, Hao Tian remained unfazed: "My teacher transcended this world long ago, returning to the very fabric of heaven and earth." "As the appointed master of heaven and earth by my teacher's decree, my sole desire is to borrow the Kunlun Mirror. Does the Queen Mother of the West presume to deny even this simple request?" The Queen Mother of the West's brow furrowed in a deep scowl. Clearly, she had underestimated Hao Tian's resolve to seize the Kunlun Mirror. Even invoking the sacred name of the Tao Ancestor had proven insufficient to deter him...
