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

Divine Thought had returned, making its way directly back to the Crown Prince's Mansion.

A substantial number of treasure chests had been acquired there, and it was time to unveil their contents.

Furthermore, the deduction of his cultivation technique was progressing.

"Open all treasure chests," commanded Zhao Feng.

"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 panel displayed the results.

"One Innate Spiritual Treasure, one Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, one Postnatal Treasure."

"This Postnatal Treasure turns out to be an imitation of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation."

"While not at the level of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, its full power unleashed would be overwhelmingly formidable."

"And the Space Seed can be absorbed by my Minor World, allowing me to master the law of space as a consequence."

"Truly, such abundance from the Sixth Tier treasure chests!"

Zhao Feng smiled, beholding the rewards from these four Sixth Tier treasure chests.

It was an absolute bargain.

A magnificent profit.

"What is this Lingyun Bottle?"

With a thought, Zhao Feng directly extracted the acquired Innate Spiritual Treasure.

A pure white bottle materialized in his grasp.

Upon closer inspection,

Lingyun Bottle: When a living being is placed within, it can extract spiritual essence into a pill, extending lifespan and enhancing cultivation! When a corpse is placed inside, residual spiritual essence can still be drawn out!

"This artifact can actually extract spiritual essence, even from corpses."

"If I were to slay immortals, gods, or demons in the future and place their remains within this Lingyun Bottle, spiritual essence could still be harvested."

"Wouldn't that allow me to repurpose my defeated foes? Even if I can't use it myself, it would be immensely valuable to Qin cultivators."

Zhao Feng chuckled, acknowledging the power of this magical treasure.

"The Immortals and Buddhas of the Immortal Realm strive to extract spiritual essence by nurturing living beings."

"Perhaps I can invert this method," Zhao Feng mused with a cold smile.

"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 attention.

Extracting once more.

A seal, emanating a potent artifact aura, appeared in his hand.

It was only palm-sized.

Yet, when fully activated, it could instantly transform into tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of zhang, descending with immeasurable power.

He then turned his gaze to the Fake Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

The moment it was summoned, a terrifying malevolent aura surged forth.

The entire hall was engulfed by this palpable evil energy.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng was impervious to such malevolence; otherwise, he would have been consumed by its terrifying influence.

Four swords hovered before Zhao Feng, accompanied by an array map.

Each sword radiated a sharp, piercing sword intent.

"Impressive."

"No wonder it's a Postnatal Treasure."

"Any of these individual swords is a Postnatal Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, with the main sword being even superior, also Postnatal Top-Grade. The amalgamation of the four swords and the array map achieves a power equivalent to a Postnatal Treasure."

"Truly terrifying."

Zhao Feng, observing the sword formation before him, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

He examined the attributes of this sword formation.

Fake Slaying Immortal Sword Formation: The formation's might scales with the Array Master's cultivation; the stronger the master, the more potent the formation, which cannot be broken except by four cultivators of equivalent power.

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 represented the full caliber of this sword formation.

It could be said without exaggeration.

This treasure chest was genuinely worth the expenditure.

The power of a Postnatal Treasure even surpassed that of ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures.

"Such a profit!"

"Next,"

"With the Tianxuan Mirror, I shall deduce the cultivation technique and then cultivate wholeheartedly to confront the Immortal Realm,"

Zhao Feng deliberated inwardly.

He summoned the Tianxuan Mirror.

With the growing strength of Qin's national destiny, the Tianxuan Mirror's connection to it also solidified.

"The Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, a method to elevate the physical body to sainthood."

"The eighth transformation achieves Quasi-Saint status, and the ninth transformation culminates in sainthood."

"The Martial Emperor Dragon Canon."

"I shall utilize the inferential capabilities of the Tianxuan Mirror, bolstered by the might of our national fortune, to deduce cultivation techniques," mused Zhao Feng internally.

With divine will as his guide, he channeled the martial arts he had mastered, along with the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, into the Tianxuan Mirror.

Instantly.

Swish!

A brilliant luminescence emanated from the Tianxuan Mirror.

From the void, a power derived from the Laws of Deduction descended.

Zhao Feng skillfully manipulated the Tianxuan Mirror, fully dedicating it to the process of deduction.

Time unhurriedly advanced.

...Meanwhile, within 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; no enemy forces remain in that region," Yu Liao announced loudly, stepping forward.

"Prime Minister."

"Have the necessary officials for the administrative roles in the conquered Western Border territories been arranged?" Ying Zheng inquired, turning his gaze to Lv Buwei.

"Reporting to Your Majesty,"

"A considerable number of graduates from our Imperial Academy are available; most can be deployed after a suitable assessment."

"As long as Your Majesty issues the decree, all three thousand scholars who passed the evaluations can proceed to the Western Borders to assume official duties."

"Furthermore, over a hundred seasoned chief officers have been identified and selected, more than sufficient to shoulder significant responsibilities."

"However,"

"The matter concerning the enfeoffment of vassal kings still requires Your Majesty's definitive decision," Lv Buwei promptly responded.

"I have already formulated my intentions regarding the vassal kings."

"As for the governance of these new territories, I must trouble the Prime Minister to exert his efforts." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; this minister accepts this profound responsibility without reservation," Lv Buwei affirmed immediately.

"Your Majesty,"

"Now that the Western Borders have been pacified, Senior Generals Wang Ben and Tu Sui have requested permission to press further?"

"According to intelligence gathered by both senior generals, numerous foreign tribes, populations, and valuable resources lie beyond the current Western Borders," Yu Liao stated, standing to report.

"As I have declared."

"The mortal realm is in constant flux."

"Our Qin's blade shall not halt its advance."

"The subjugation of the myriad nations in the Western Borders was always part of our long-term strategy; their aggression merely provided the opportune moment for Qin to act decisively."

"Transmit my imperial edict forthwith."

"Command Meng Wu and Li Mu to march westward and engage the Yuezhi Kingdom."

"Order Wang Ben and Tu Sui to continue their westward offensive."

"Regarding the necessary military provisions, the Ministry of Revenue is to allocate resources with utmost priority, utilizing the Tianxuan Mirror's predictive capabilities."

"As for the territories already secured in foreign lands, the Grand Commandant shall promptly dispatch garrison troops for their protection and continue to govern them with rigorous laws."

"Naturally,"

"Our established Qin policies must also be implemented: land distribution to the populace, the abolition of foreign scripts in favor of Qin script and language, and the systematic exploration for spirit stone mines, all in adherence to previously established directives," Ying Zheng declared with deep conviction.

"This minister accepts the decree."

...In the Immortal Realm, atop Kunlun Mountain!

The mountains stood sentinel, encircling the land.

This was once the sacred domain of Saints.

However,

Following the enigmatic disappearance of the Saints, the very fabric of heaven and earth underwent a profound transformation.

Kunlun, once a bastion of sanctity, no longer resonated with true peace and tranquility.

The void now swirled with lingering malice, corrupting energies, and even the oppressive aura of heavenly tribulations.

And today,

In the Western reaches of Kunlun,

Enclosed within a formidable grand array,

A regal woman, clad in resplendent palace attire, stood at the forefront, accompanied by tens of thousands of female immortals arrayed behind her.

Each was armed with divine weaponry and potent magical artifacts, their gazes fixed forward with anxious vigilance, concern etched upon their faces.

Before them, suspended in the vast expanse above,

Innumerable Heavenly Soldiers occupied the highest reaches of the void, radiating a terrifying, palpable killing intent.

"Hao Tian,"

"Our West Kunlun has never harbored any enmity towards your Heavenly Court; why has a military mobilization been ordered today?"

The Queen Mother of the West gazed icily into the void, her voice echoing with inquiry.

"Queen Mother of the West,"

"I shall not engage in lengthy discourse."

"Surrender the Kunlun Mirror; merely lend it to my custody for a century, and I shall withdraw my forces immediately."

"Otherwise, the Heavenly Court will drown West Kunlun in blood."

Above the swirling clouds,

Hao Tian, seated upon his celestial throne, issued his cold, unwavering demand.

A swirling vortex of Tribulation qi, thick with pervasive evil, encompassed the entirety of existence.

In such a world, the concept of order was nothing more than a fleeting jest.

In ages past, the presence of Saints had imposed a semblance of restraint. Now, however, ceaseless warfare and territorial disputes raged among the major powers of the Immortal Realm. The strong preyed upon the weak; the vanquished were reduced to mere sustenance, their spiritual essence brutally extracted.

This brutal reality had become the accepted order of the day within the Immortal Realm.

"The Kunlun Mirror is a supreme artifact, bestowed upon me in antiquity by the Tao Ancestor himself," declared the Queen Mother of the West.

"As a disciple under the Tao Ancestor, are you not aware of this fact?" she added, her gaze sharp.

Upon hearing the revered name of the Tao Ancestor, Hao Tian remained utterly unfazed.

"My teacher has long since merged back into the very fabric of heaven and earth," he replied calmly.

"As the appointed master of heaven and earth, entrusted by my teacher, I merely wish to borrow the Kunlun Mirror. Does the Queen Mother of the West intend to refuse even this?"

A deep frown creased the Queen Mother of the West's brow.

It was clear she had gravely underestimated Hao Tian's resolve to possess the Kunlun Mirror.

Even invoking the name of the Tao Ancestor had failed to sway him.

...
