Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 894 Chapter 364: Kingdom of Aolai? Huaguo Mountain? Sun Wukong! (2)
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
Gleaming coldly beside the battle armor was the formidable Mo Knife.
Weapons of the mortal realm could not wound, and immortal power could not shatter such artifacts.
These were newly forged by the Qin's master artifact refiners.
All hundred thousand sets of battle armor had undergone complete remodeling, eradicating any hidden schemes from the Heavenly Court.
Once these elite soldiers donned the battle armor and brandished the Mo Knife, their formidable strength would be vastly amplified.
After all, these were immortal artifacts and soldiers, meticulously crafted by the Heavenly Court with considerable refining materials.
Beyond the standard elite soldiers' battle armor, the specially designed armor for commanders was also distributed one by one.
"Refine the battle armor and attune it to yourselves,"
Zhao Feng commanded in a powerful tone. "Then, all soldiers shall become integrated members of the Qin's Mystic Armor Army."
"We faithfully adhere to Your Highness's command!"
A unified roar echoed as all soldiers picked up their battle armor, commencing the blood-dripping ritual to refine their assigned pieces.
Armors and weapons of the immortal tier were naturally receptive to refinement, allowing them to be quickly mastered.
As the soldiers diligently refined and bonded with their armor,
the armors seemed to awaken with a spirit, instantly melding with each individual soldier.
In that very instant!
A legion of one hundred thousand troops, clad in resplendent black mystic armor and wielding Mo Knives, their entire forms enveloped by the formidable gear, materialized.
Merely standing still, an invisible aura of impending massacre emanated from them, causing the very void to feel a sense of profound stillness.
At this moment,
facing an onslaught of tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals might present a starkly contrasting extreme.
"Your Highness,"
Meng Tian exclaimed with excitement, "these immortal artifacts are truly remarkable. Not only do they offer unparalleled defense, but they also possess the ability to refine the world's spiritual energy, significantly accelerating the recovery of True Yuan."
Here,
Meng Tian himself had been selected among the elite,
receiving the highest cultivation battle armor available, having already attained the formidable Martial Arts Great Power Realm.
"Familiarize yourselves thoroughly with the armor. Soon, I will lead you on an expedition to storm the Immortal Realm," Zhao Feng declared with gravitas.
Following this declaration,
his divine thought withdrew from the Minor World.
Within the opulent imperial palace!
Specifically, at Zhangtai Palace.
Today,
Zhao Feng's entire family had convened.
Ying Zheng and Xia Dong'er were present,
alongside Wang Yan and a retinue of concubines.
His children, too,
were all gathered.
"Father, Mother,"
Zhao Feng began, addressing Ying Zheng and his mother, then turning to Wang Jian and his wife. "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law."
"Consider today my farewell banquet."
"I shall refrain from lengthy words."
"Let us instead drink heartily today."
Zhao Feng raised his cup and drained it in a single gulp.
"Feng'er..."
Xia Dong'er looked at Zhao Feng, her words catching in her throat.
"Efang,"
Ying Zheng reassured Xia Dong'er with a gentle smile, "Feng'er has his own plans; you need not trouble yourself about anything."
"Feng'er,"
Xia Dong'er spoke with deep concern, "I am but a woman and can offer no aid in your endeavors. Please be exceedingly careful in all things."
"Mother, rest assured,"
Zhao Feng replied. "As long as the Qin still stands, no harm shall befall me."
"Father, you must diligently guard the Qin kingdom in the mortal world. I trust that upon my return, Qin's overall strength will have seen a monumental leap forward," Zhao Feng added with a smile.
"You may be at ease regarding this matter,"
Ying Zheng immediately responded. "I shall galvanize the entire nation towards cultivation, thereby bolstering our national power."
"Qi'er, Ling'er, Wu'er,"
Zhao Feng's gaze turned to his children,
seeing how they had grown, a profound warmth spread across his face. "And all of you... you must all take good care of yourselves."
...
The following day!
At the peak of noon.
Within the grand Imperial Conference Square.
The assembled Hundred Officials convened.
At this precise moment,
Zhao Feng, clad in a simple black robe, distinctly not wearing the king's ceremonial attire.
"Father,"
Zhao Feng addressed Ying Zheng, his gaze serious. "The cultivation lands are the bedrock of Qin's strength; you must utilize them wisely. Should any urgent matter arise, you can still reach me via the Tian Xuan Mirror."
"Okay." Ying Zheng gazed intently at Zhao Feng, nodding with deep affirmation.
With all matters settled,
Zhao Feng spoke no further.
He promptly produced the Space Mirror.
Subsequently, he activated it to open a spatial portal.
Then,
he stepped directly into the shimmering void.
As the interdimensional channel snapped shut instantly behind him,
"Crown Prince,"
Han Fei's voice was tinged with profound reluctance. "He has departed from Qin just like that."
"No,"
Ying Zheng, however, gently shook his head.
The gazes of all the officials intently focused on him.
"In the Celestial world, Feng'er represents Qin. Wherever Feng'er may be, that realm shall be considered Qin Territory."
"My esteemed ministers..."
"Cultivate your strength diligently." "Soon, the Qin Dynasty will venture into the Celestial Realm." "Having unified the mortal world, my future ambition is to conquer the Celestial Realm, supplanting the Heavenly Court itself," declared Ying Zheng, his ambition boundless, to the assembled officials. "We pledge our lives to the Qin Dynasty!" The officials roared in unison. ... Earth Immortal Realm! Eastern Continent! Above a vast expanse of ocean. A rift in the void abruptly materialized. Zhao Feng emerged from it with measured steps. A brief moment of awareness brought a smile to his face. "So this is the Earth Immortal Realm." "The void here is considerably more stable." "Moreover, the spiritual energy is hundreds, even thousands of times more abundant than in the mortal world." "And this is merely a random location within the Earth Immortal Realm," Zhao Feng mused with profound emotion. "Now, which of the Four Great Continents do I stand upon?" Zhao Feng meticulously extended his divine sense, covering vast distances of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of miles. At Zhao Feng's current echelon, his divine sense far surpassed that of a Taiyin Golden Immortal. This was the undeniable advantage of cultivating all attributes, not merely a measure of one's cultivation realm. "The spiritual energy here is exceptionally dense, akin to a Cave Heaven Blessed Land." "Furthermore, the mainland lies just ten thousand miles hence, known as the Kingdom of Aolai." "Then what about this island?" Zhao Feng's thoughts seemed to coalesce. He took a swift step forward, transforming into a streak of light that vanished into the void above the ocean in an instant. Reappearing, he found himself on this colossal island, perched atop its highest peak. "Groups of monkeys." "And with this island as the center, numerous surrounding islands teem with various creatures." "Creatures with human-like bodies and beast heads, clearly monsters not yet fully transformed." "Monsters are nonexistent in the mortal world." "The Earth Immortal Realm." "It is indeed a realm teeming with demons and monsters." "However." "This location should be the very Huaguo Mountain I encountered in my prior existence." "As for the stone atop this mountain..." Zhao Feng's gaze quietly shifted towards the mountain's summit. Resting at the apex was a stone emitting a faint spiritual luminescence, bathed in the celestial light of sun and moon. Situated upon the island's primary spirit vein, it was ceaselessly nourished by spiritual energy, and a probe of divine thought revealed the nascent stirring of spiritual wisdom within. "Sun Wukong." "He is already undergoing nurturing. How truly interesting." "Moreover, there are restrictions surrounding it; a single touch would alert the one who placed them." "Sun Wukong, merely a pawn." Zhao Feng contemplated the stone before him, a deep sense of emotion stirring within. With memories from his past life, Zhao Feng fully grasped that despite Sun Wukong's formidable perceived power, his fate was ultimately tragic, especially after the donning of the Golden Hoop, which diminished the Great Sage's true glory. "Perhaps I can persuade this Sun Wukong to serve the Qin Dynasty." "If he cultivates martial arts, he could undoubtedly become a formidable War God for Qin in the future." At this juncture. Zhao Feng experienced a sudden realization. Though Sun Wukong might be a pawn, his potential was undeniably immense. If he were to align with the Qin Dynasty, it would yield substantial benefits. Furthermore. It would thwart the machinations of those operating from the shadows; why not seize this opportunity? With this resolution. Zhao Feng acted without hesitation. He advanced, arriving before the spirit stone nurturing Sun Wukong. Observing the pre-existing restrictions, with a mere thought, he created an opening. Given Zhao Feng's mastery of formations and his potent Primordial Spirit, this task was hardly arduous. "Sun Wukong currently possesses spiritual sense, but it is rudimentary, precluding communication. However, I can impart the Basic Cultivation Technique of Martial Arts from the Qin Dynasty to him and subsequently bestow upon him a Tianxuan Sub-Mirror." With this plan. Zhao Feng acted swiftly. He imprinted the Dragon Elephant Refining Body Technique, practiced by the Qin Dynasty's martial cultivators, directly into Sun Wukong's consciousness, enabling cultivation up to the Divine Martial Arts Realm. He then separated a Tianxuan Sub-Mirror, concealing it within his Sea of Consciousness for Sun Wukong to activate autonomously. Having completed these actions. Zhao Feng felt a significant sense of satisfaction. "Sun Wukong." "I trust our paths will cross again in the future." ...
