Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 315 Unifying the World: The Spiritual Treasure Embryo [Requesting Recommendation Votes]

After conquering the Zhao state, the Qin state immediately began its conquest of the Wei state.

Wang Ben diverted the Yellow River to flood the Wei capital, Daliang (present-day Kaifeng). Three months later, the city fell, and King Jia of Wei surrendered.

The Qin state established Dang Commandery (present-day eastern Henan) in the eastern border of Wei.

Next came the most important battle: the conquest of Chu.

The State of Chu was a large country with a large population, and it was located in the southern barbarian lands, giving it a geographical advantage and making it difficult to attack.

Ying Zheng asked how many troops were needed to attack the State of Chu. The veteran general Wang Jian said that 60 troops were necessary, but the young Li Xin confidently said that only 20 were needed.

So Ying Zheng chose Li Xin, who was cheap and young.

Li Xin led 20 men, underestimated the enemy, and advanced recklessly. He was counterattacked and defeated by Xiang Yan, and slunk back to Xianyang in disgrace.

It has to be said that Li Xin truly deserves to be called Li Guang's ancestor; the Li family has a long-standing tradition of being unreliable.

After Li Xin's crushing defeat, Ying Zheng finally realized that Wang Jian was the right choice.

So he personally went to apologize and asked Wang Jian to lead troops to destroy the State of Chu.

The King of Qin has already humbled himself so much that even if Wang Jian harbors resentment, he has no choice but to forgive the King of Qin and obediently lead his troops into battle.

Therefore, Wang Jian led an army of 60 men, mobilizing the entire nation's resources, to garrison troops in the Chu territory.

Avoid their sharp edge, fortify your defenses and clear the fields, and use tactics to wear down the morale of the Chu army.

When the Chu army retreats eastward, launch a general offensive to seize the opportunity to annihilate Xiang Yan's main force.

As expected, they decisively defeated Xiang Yan and conquered the State of Chu.

After escaping the battlefield, the young Xiang Yu harbored a deep hatred for the Qin state because of the death of his grandfather Xiang Yan and the destruction of the Chu state.

Xiang Yu hated the Qin people to the extreme, and from then on he was determined to destroy the Qin state to avenge his country and family.

After Qin destroyed Chu, it established Jiujiang Commandery and Kuaiji Commandery in Chu (and also destroyed the remnants of Yue).

Faced with the unprecedented wars of annihilation waged by the Qin, a powerful and ruthless state, which conquered one state after another with overwhelming force, the remaining states of Yan and Qi were filled with fear.

Because Prince Dan of Yan was killed by Chen Hong during the incident of watching the Snow Maiden dance in the capital of Wei.

Therefore, the newly appointed Crown Prince of Yan was worried that the King of Qin would prioritize destroying Yan, which would mean that he would become a prisoner before he even had a chance to enjoy being the King of Yan.

In the position of Crown Prince, he was clearly more willing to take risks than the Prince of Yan.

So he chose the path of assassinating the King of Qin, which involved the least amount of effort but yielded the greatest reward.

The Crown Prince of Yan sought out Tian Guang, a chivalrous peasant, to plot an assassination attempt on the King of Qin.

Tian Guang, the chivalrous leader of the peasant family, is both intelligent and brave, and possesses great strength. He helps the Crown Prince of Yan by offering advice, manpower, and resources.

After a rigorous selection process, they chose Jing Ke, a wandering knight from the Mohist school.

Jing Ke was highly skilled, reaching the Yin God Realm, and his assassination techniques were even more powerful, reaching the Yang God Realm.

Meanwhile, the young swordsman Gai Nie beside the King of Qin was only at the Yin God Realm.

The key issue is that Jing Ke and the King of Qin had an irreconcilable conflict and hatred.

Jing Ke's childhood sweetheart, Li Ji, was stunningly beautiful.

However, the two were later separated. Li Ji was captured by the Qin army, but later Ying Zheng took a liking to her and brought her into the harem.

What Ying Zheng didn't know was that Li Ji was already pregnant with Jing Ke's child before she entered the harem.

When Li Ji gave birth to a child, Ying Zheng thought it was his own and named him "Tianming".

The Crown Prince of Yan bestowed favors upon Jing Ke, a wandering knight of the Mohist school, and invited him to assassinate the King of Qin.

In order to rescue Li Ji and her child, and also to avenge the King of Qin and repay the kindness of the Crown Prince of Yan, Jing Ke agreed to assassinate King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Beside the Yi River, Jing Ke bid farewell to his close friend Gao Jianli.

Gao Jianli played the zither and sang mournfully: "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the brave warrior departs, never to return."

"Exploring the tiger's den, entering the dragon's palace, exhaling towards the sky, a white rainbow appears."

From then on, Jing Ke took up the Broken Rainbow Sword and embarked on the path of assassinating the King of Qin.

Regardless of success or failure, Jing Ke is destined to die on this journey!

This is the great determination to do what is impossible, and the great courage to face the danger of death despite knowing it is certain.

Jing Ke was indeed formidable. In the Qin King's palace, his sword strike was so powerful that the King was so startled that he nearly died while circling a pillar.

If Ying Zheng had been stabbed by Jing Ke, he would have died before even launching his campaign.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng had Gai Nie, the sword saint bodyguard, by his side. At the critical moment, Gai Nie decisively stepped in, blocking Jing Ke's fatal blow, holding Jing Ke back, and protecting Ying Zheng.

Jing Ke ultimately died in the main hall.

From then on, Ying Zheng had a righteous cause to send troops to the State of Yan, unified internal opinions, and decisively sent troops.

Wang Jian captured Ji, the capital of Yan, and the King of Yan fled to Liaodong.

Wang Ben led his army to attack Liaodong, captured the King of Yan, and destroyed Yan.

The Qin state established Liaodong Commandery in the Yan region.

After the Qin army destroyed Yan, it marched south. Wang Ben led an army of 20 men straight to Qi. King Jian of Qi, having been isolated and without support for a long time, surrendered without a fight.

The State of Qi pursued a policy of "avoiding war and protecting itself," passively watching the other five states perish. Its military preparedness weakened, and with all five states destroyed, Qi didn't even need to fight; it surrendered directly. The State of Qin then established the Qi Commandery and the Langya Commandery in the Qi territory.

With this, all six states were destroyed, and the Qin state, building upon the achievements of six generations, finally unified the world.

Ying Zheng officially ascended the throne, believing that his achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and his virtue exceeded that of the Five Emperors. Therefore, he took the "Huang" from the Three Sovereigns and the "Di" from the Five Emperors and called himself "Emperor". Because he was the first emperor in history, he was also called "First Emperor".
After ascending the throne as emperor, Ying Zheng officially implemented the prefecture-county system throughout the country, absorbed the territories of the six states, and suppressed the nobles of the six states who had been relocated.

Furthermore, having absorbed Chen Hong's advice and wisdom, Ying Zheng did not rush to undertake those large-scale projects.

Instead, it was to rebuild the system for governing the world and revise the harsh laws.

Because of the various achievements left by Chen Hong that could be referenced, and the various "golden touches" provided by Chen Hong such as grain, salt, and iron, the development of the Qin Dynasty showed an explosive progress.

Chen Hong travels the world, analyzing famous swords.

Tianwen, Yuanhong, Tai'a, Ganjiang/Moye, Xueji, Shuihan, Qiuli, Lingxu, Juque, Hupo, Tianzhao, Hanguang (the sword without form).

Zhanlu, Shuanghun, Chitong, Shachi, Momei, Canhong.

The Eight Swords of King Yue (Yan Ri, Jing Ni, Xuan Jian, Zhengan, Duan Shui, Wang Liang, Zhuan Po, Mie Hun).

Chaos God, Chun Jun, Cold Cicada, Zhen Yue, Reverse Scale, Chi You Sword, Hidden Dragon, Red Serpent.

Chen Hong analyzed each of the famous swords.

Chen Hong returned to the blessed land of the space continent and beckoned to retrieve the metals that had been tempered and evolved by the primordial energy of the void that were floating in the void.

These metals were used to forge famous swords, which were then embedded into arrays, evolving from magical artifacts to magic treasures, then to high-grade magic treasures, and finally even becoming embryos of spiritual treasures.

With Chen Hong's current level of weapon crafting skills and strength, he is not yet capable of crafting spiritual treasures.

Chen Hong then implanted these 35 famous sword spirit treasure embryos into the spatial barrier, forming a [Void Divine Sword Opening Array].

This grand formation can utilize the powerful energy of the sword-shaped spiritual treasure embryo to open up the void.

The fragments of spatial turbulence outside the spatial barrier and the occasional wisps of inner chaos energy are shattered and integrated into the blessed land space, thus strengthening it and accelerating its expansion.

With this grand formation in place, the blessed land space no longer needs to worry about unexpected dangers, and the overall structure becomes more stable.

After his travels around the world, Chen Hong returned to Xianyang and presented the twelve golden zodiac animal figures he had crafted to Ying Zheng to help him defend against the Xiongnu people in the north.

This way, we wouldn't have to expend a large number of troops to garrison the north, nor would we have to rush to build the Great Wall.

This would eliminate the need for large-scale conscription and labor mobilization.

After eight hundred years of war, the world can finally rest and recuperate.

In addition to the twelve zodiac animal figures, there are also mechs such as [Rui Shi], [Wu Dang], [Wu Zu], and [Xuan Jia], as well as cyborg technology [Terracotta Warriors], which allow disabled veterans to be refitted with mechanical limbs, to shine again, to guard the world, and to serve as surprise troops.

With these mechs, the Qin Dynasty gained the power to protect the world, deterring martial artists who had cultivated true qi from breaking the law.

Chen Hong also witnessed Yun Zhongjun's alchemy skills at the Yin-Yang family in Xianyang.

Based on the True Qi Martial Arts system passed down by Chen Hong, Yun Zhongjun kept pace with the times, improved his elixirs, and developed many good things.

For example, the "True Man Pill" can open up the meridians throughout the body, strengthen the Yin and Yang energies, and stimulate various potentials of the body.

One pill can enable a Foundation Establishment martial artist who has cultivated internal energy to transcend the three acquired realms and reach the Innate realm.

If a martial artist at the Innate Realm takes it, they will be able to break through to the True Qi Realm.

[Soul-Separating Pill: The finest among Ghost-Controlling Pills. Colorless and odorless, it bewitches the soul and can control martial artists below the Yin Spirit Realm as puppets, at their beck and call. Even a True Core Realm martial artist who consumes this pill will become a mindless puppet.]

[Qing Shu Dan: A universal antidote, capable of neutralizing all poisons in the world. Its effects can even neutralize rare poisons that can affect even True Core Realm martial artists.]

[Gathering Immortal Pill: The highest level of pills refined by Lord Yunzhong. Combining internal and external cultivation, it can increase the probability of breaking through from the Yin Spirit Realm to the Yuan Spirit Realm by 50%.]

After getting all of Yun Zhongjun's pill formulas and elixir research results for free.

Chen Hong also got his hands on the visualization diagrams "Yin Yang Dao Dao Tu" and "Xing Su Guan Xiang Tu" that the Yin Yang School had researched over the past eight years, as well as all the newly researched Yin Yang techniques, for free.

Only then did he leave Xianyang with the women and continue his travels around the world.

After unifying the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng collected the bronze boxes from all seven kingdoms and began to study the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

Chen Hong, along with the women, boarded the Sky City and left the Central Plains, flying towards the boundless ocean.

Begin to appreciate the wonders of the ocean, the endless wonders and marine life.

Upon entering the ocean, the enormous Sky City erected a large water-repellent shield, allowing Chen Hong and the women to observe marine life up close.

Chen Hong and his group saw a wide variety of strange and unusual marine creatures, and even observed a giant whale that resembled a Kun.

These giant whales are much larger than the whales found in ordinary urban areas. The largest individuals can even reach thousands of meters in length and hundreds of meters in width.

Moreover, its entire body is radiant with iridescent light, featuring rainbow-like glowing lines, giving it a dreamlike feel.

Without a doubt, this is a remnant of the bloodline of a divine beast left over from ancient times.

Chen Hong suspected that it possessed a faint bloodline of the ancient Kunpeng.

So he captured it and its 13 descendants of Kunpeng and put them into his blessed space.

To this end, Chen Hong also collected a large amount of seawater around his blessed land, opening up the four seas in the east, west, south, and north.

They also plundered a great deal of soil, rocks, and desert to fill and expand their continent.

The area of ​​the blessed land has now expanded from 5000 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of a county, to 50000 square kilometers, the size of a city.
