Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

February of the 93rd year of Qiming.

The remnants of the Tiger Legion entered the territory of Dongqi and pledged allegiance to the new emperor.

The Marshal of the Tiger Army was commended by the new emperor and received numerous rewards.

May.

The main force of the Seven Kill Army, carrying a large amount of supplies and weapons, traveled thousands of miles to Dongqi.

The new emperor was overjoyed and bestowed upon the marquis title of county marquis the title of marquis upon the marquis of the Seven Killings Army.

August.

The strongest legion of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Cloud Legion, marches towards the skies above the Eastern Qi.

Marshal Zhao Le led his army to pledge allegiance to the new emperor and was promoted to the rank of Marquis.

October.

Meng Deming, the former prime minister of the Great Qi Dynasty, secretly brought his entire family to Jiaozhou City.

Jun Mingle personally led civil and military officials to welcome him ten miles outside Jiaozhou City.

Three days later, Meng Deming was appointed as the Left Chancellor of Dongqi.

……

With the three legions setting an example, those forces that were previously wavering made up their minds and completely sided with Dongqi.

Most of these forces are closely aligned with the Great Qi, making it difficult for them to easily pledge allegiance to other forces. They can only waver between the Eastern and Western Qi.

As the marshals of the three legions were successively awarded titles and honors, the officials and generals who had been hesitant began to have their own ideas.

As emperors, the new emperor, who broke through to the level of a terrestrial immortal and gained the support of three terrestrial immortals, is clearly more legitimate.

As for the old emperor, his reforms caused chaos throughout the land, and he suffered repeated defeats in battles against other forces, making him undoubtedly a tyrant among tyrants.

……

The 94th year of the Qiming era.

The current Marquis of Haining declared his allegiance to Dong Qi, and his youngest daughter married into the palace as the Crown Princess.

In the same year, Donghai Cave Heaven nominally submitted to Dongqi, forming a strategic alliance with Dongqi in a substantial sense.

At this point, the entire eastern part of Daqi was completely controlled by Dongqi.

In just three years, the new emperor conquered more than forty large states.

Centered on Jiaozhou, a coastal city, forty-five large prefectures surrounded the capital, while the East China Sea Islands guarded the sea frontier.

There are also many forces scattered throughout the world that remain loyal to the Great Qi and secretly provide support.

Many aristocratic families believe that the new emperor, Ming Le, undoubtedly has the potential to recreate the great Qi dynasty.

……

The 96th year of the Qiming era.

The rebuilt Tiansu Army and the Qishan Road Northern Route Army engaged in a decisive battle in Qingzhou.

An epoch-making war was thus launched.

Green wood, yellow earth, red fire, white gold, black water.

The five elite corps under Qishan Dao's command have officially made their debut.

Over the course of more than a century, the Five Elements School has developed a series of ways to apply the Five Elements, with the principles of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth as its core.

Among them, the talisman technique is the most advanced. Generation after generation of genius disciples of the Five Elements Sect have cleverly combined the Five Elements with talismans and applied them to all aspects of life.

Inscribing water symbols on springs makes the flow of water faster; inscribing fire symbols on lamps makes the flames burn longer; inscribing earth symbols on the bricks and stones of palaces makes the palaces more stable...

All of these factors demonstrate that talismanic techniques have become deeply integrated into the lives of the people of Qishan Dao.

If it can be used for civilian purposes, it can naturally be used for military purposes. Seventy years ago, as soon as the talisman technology was developed, the Qishan Dao Army reached a cooperation agreement with the Five Elements Sect to jointly develop talisman weapons.

Today, Qishan Dao has five elite legions, all equipped with talismanic weapons and armor.

Although each regiment only had 20,000 men, their advanced weaponry made up for all their shortcomings, enabling them to easily defeat enemies many times their size.

Faced with the elite Qishan Dao army, whose entire force is equipped with new weaponry and whose talisman technology is perfectly integrated into their weapons.

The Tian Su Army, already weakened by reorganization and still primarily armed with weapons from the old era, was utterly routed on the main battlefield.

Unable to adapt to the new tactics, and with overwhelming superior equipment, the Tian Su army suffered a crushing defeat in Qingzhou.

Because the Tian Su army fought to the death and refused to retreat, they ultimately suffered a complete annihilation.

At this point, Jun Huayang had no more elite troops at his disposal.

The overwhelming combat performance of the Talisman Legion also stunned all the discerning people in the world.

In the Nine Realms, talismans are nothing new.

Throughout history, talisman technology has been used on large-scale military equipment, and some people have even envisioned its large-scale application, but for various reasons, it has never been successfully realized.

No one expected that Qishan Dao would actually break through the original technological limitations and realize the normalized application of talisman technology, inscribing it on personal weapons and using it to create five elite legions.

All factions immediately realized the future direction of the legion's development and dispatched spies to Qishan Road to learn how to apply talisman technology to small weapons.

Only the Southern Frontier, which had already conducted similar research, did not react much, but instead dispatched its own new-style corps.

The Hundred Spirits Army combines witchcraft spirits with weapons and equipment.

The Bailing Army is based on witchcraft and sorcery, and the entire army consists of 200,000 men. They are particularly skilled in various forms of witchcraft and sorcery.

The army advanced northeastward, its forces heading straight for Qi'an City.

……

The 97th year of Qiming.

In response to the fierce offensive from the southern border, the Apocalypse warships sailed to the front lines in Luozhou.

Ye Lin set a trap, luring the Apocalypse warship into the skies above Falling Cloud Valley.

The entire Celestial Legion mobilized and surrounded the Apocalypse warship in Falling Cloud Valley.

Faced with the Apocalypse warships that were stationary in their defensive positions, the Celestial Legion adopted a strategy of encirclement without attack, preventing the Apocalypse warships from returning to provide reinforcements.

At the same time, with the Bailing Army as the vanguard, Ye Lin led the main force of the Southern Frontier, with a million troops breaking through Luozhou and approaching Qi'an City.

Bai Xi, the Flower Fairy of the Four Seasons, and Bai Mengran, the Immortal of Huaqing, accompanied the army.

……

April, the 98th year of the Qiming era.

The Qishan Road Northern Route Army captured Weizhou, located south of Qi'an City, and the army arrived at the south side of Qi'an City.

Two months later, Fang Wuxiang, the third elder of the Five Elements Sect, had a sudden enlightenment about the world and stepped into the realm of terrestrial immortals with the Way of Wood Spirit, calling himself the Green Wood Immortal.

In September, Mu Yong, along with the newly promoted terrestrial immortal Qingmu Xianren of Qishan Dao, led the Five Spirits Legion to Qi'an City, intending to take it over in one fell swoop.

At this point, Qi'an City was surrounded on both sides and was in dire straits.

If the Northern Army stationed on the north side of Dingzhou is included, Qi'an City is already besieged on three sides.

The only part that wasn't surrounded to the east had nowhere to go; almost all the places that were accessible had already been occupied by the Eastern Qi.

……

In the ninety-ninth year of the Qiming era, good news came again from Qishan Road.

Mu Ling'er's best friend, Qingxi, who had lived in Qishan Road for a hundred years, had an epiphany during her battle with Ao Yun and broke through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Upon hearing the news, Mu Yong immediately congratulated his nominal aunt and asked her to accompany him to the army.

Unfortunately, because of King Xiang, Qingxi chose to remain neutral.

Upon learning that Qingxi had ascended to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, Mu Ling'er, far away in the Spirit Palace of the Boundless Realm, also sent her congratulations to Qingxi from a distance of millions of miles using her Nine Realms Supreme Edition Spirit Crystal Phone.

No sooner had she finished offering her congratulations than Qingxi arrived at the Spirit Palace in less than two hours.

He brazenly challenged Mu Ling'er to a duel.

Qingxi, feeling triumphant, declared that even with the Five Elements Creation Sword in hand, Mu Ling'er was no match for her now. She was certain that she would avenge her previous defeat and leave Mu Ling'er with a bruise on her head.

What Qingxi didn't know was that as Mu An's cultivation level became more and more profound, he modified the Five Elements Creation Sword several times. Now, the Five Elements Creation Sword has long surpassed that of ordinary terrestrial immortals.

Not to mention Qingxi, who had just obtained the Heaven and Earth Fruit, even the Human Dao Holy Sword, the Qiming Sword, could not defeat the Five Spirit Creation Sword, which was a combination of five swords.

After a wonderful day trip to the Spirit Palace, Qingxi returned to Qing'an Prefecture with a head full of bumps on her head.

Although she got beaten up, before slinking away, Qingxi still secretly gave Mu Ling'er a small gift.

A top-quality craft material.
