After an hour of granting rewards, Qin Xiao finally stopped.
Below him, a massive crowd of civil and military officials had already fallen to their knees.
They thanked Qin Xiao profusely, looking as if they would gladly tear out their own hearts to offer them to him!
This Emperor had true audacity and had genuinely rewarded them heavily!
By now, the officials had pretty much figured out Qin Xiao's temper.
As long as you were obedient, loyal, caused no trouble, and stepped up at crucial moments, you would absolutely not have your entire extended family executed!
In fact, glory, wealth, and rank would be right at your fingertips!
This was Qin Xiao's imperial method of controlling his subordinates.
After heavily rewarding the officials, Qin Xiao slightly closed his eyes.
"Now, it's time for my rewards!"
A series of system notification sounds echoed in his mind!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!
Annexing Wu Zhou and uniting the world! Reward: Martial Immortal cultivation!
Militaristic expansion! Frantic conscription, expanding the army by at least three million! Reward: Golden Army Conversion Card! (Can randomly convert an army and add special troop attributes!)
Declare war on the world! Display the divine might of Great Qin! Anyone who dares to offend Great Qin, no matter who they are or how far away, will be executed! Reward: One million tons of forage! One million tons of fruits, vegetables, and grain!
As the three luxurious rewards appeared, Qin Xiao's spirits lifted!
"System, claim the Martial Immortal cultivation!"
Without another word, Qin Xiao couldn't wait any longer in his heart.
This was a Martial Immortal!
A legendary realm never heard of before!
Boom!
With a soft sound, Qin Xiao's aura suddenly surged.
Powerful energy surged and circulated within his body, like the raging waves of a vast ocean, endless and unceasing.
Divine light gleamed in Qin Xiao's eyes, the bones in his body cracked and popped, and a profound aura instantly spread out, as if a god had descended to the world!
The realm of the Martial Immortal made heaven and earth pale in comparison!
A feeling of absolute supremacy filled his heart. Qin Xiao felt an incredibly powerful confidence, as if a single punch could shatter the sky.
The officials in the hall felt this overwhelmingly strong aura from Qin Xiao, and their hearts trembled violently.
A terrifying, vast pressure emanated from Qin Xiao, pressing down like a mountain.
At this moment, an illusion of an insurmountable peak arose in everyone's heart.
In the face of absolute power, the awe on everyone's faces grew even stronger!
The atmosphere in the grand hall was taut as a bowstring. The civil and military officials didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Even their breathing became cautious.
For fear of disturbing Qin Xiao, who sat high upon the dragon throne.
One by one, they lowered their heads and knelt silently on the ground.
Rumble!
Qin Xiao's aura grew increasingly terrifying. The air seemed to freeze, and the light in the hall flickered and dimmed.
As Qin Xiao felt the changes in his body, an aura of looking down upon the entire world began to swell.
At this moment, he broke the laws with martial arts, wielding the might of a heavenly god!
Once entering the Martial Immortal realm, dynasties would be pacified, and feudal lords would bow their heads!
This was the true power of the mighty immortal path, reigning above all living beings!
Previously, Qin Xiao didn't understand the hierarchy of immortals, but now he could clearly feel the difference.
With a single thought, he could move mountains and overturn seas. With a single thought, he could freeze heaven and earth, causing endless rain to fall.
With a flip of his palm, he could shatter mountains and rivers. With a wave of his hand, infinite sword energy would instantly extinguish all things!
The might of a Martial Immortal was vast and boundless!
Qin Xiao's greatest gain was feeling the sublimation of his life level.
Before, he was just like a mortal.
However, it was different now.
He was like a true immortal who controlled the universe!
Roar!
Behind Qin Xiao, boundless golden light shot up into the sky.
The phantom of a black dragon roared out, piercing straight into the firmament.
Heaven and earth shook because of it, and its divine might intimidated the entire universe!
"This is... my Martial Immortal Dharma Idol! The Ancestral Dragon True Body!"
Rumble, rumble!
Thunder rolled across heaven and earth, and the sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, becoming dim and lightless.
This was the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation!
A mortal achieving the Martial Immortal realm drew the heavenly tribulation upon themselves!
Qin Xiao raised his head. Facing the faintly visible lightning within the dark clouds, he took a step forward, no longer holding back, and actively drew the lightning to himself.
Boom!
Heavenly lightning crashed down, furiously striking Qin Xiao!
Qin Xiao neither dodged nor evaded. His entire body erupted with endless golden light as he bathed in the lightning, fiercely enduring it head-on!
The Ancestral Dragon True Body roared at the sky, devouring the lightning!
Under the tempering of the heavenly lightning, the bones in his body began to crackle, and his physical body grew increasingly tyrannical!
Traces of the tribulation lightning liquid merged into his flesh, strengthening his bones.
Qin Xiao felt his strength increasing madly!
After enduring for a moment, the lightning tribulation receded.
And Qin Xiao's aura became even more stable and powerful, his strength surging and abundant!
His imposing manner skyrocketed; every movement he made could tear apart mountains and seas!
Qin Xiao slightly clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented power!
The civil and military officials in the hall had long since prostrated themselves, not daring to look up.
At this moment, they had seen with their own eyes Qin Xiao contending against the heavenly lightning. Such terrifying divine might made them revere and worship him even more, fully submitting in their hearts!
"His Majesty is truly too terrifying!"
"Exactly what realm has he reached to cause heavenly lightning to descend?"
"The most terrifying thing is that His Majesty actually tore apart the heavenly lightning with his bare hands! Is this something a human can do?"
"His Majesty is becoming stronger and stronger. Then our Great Qin will surely prosper and flourish, and perhaps even unite the world!"
The officials were inexplicably shocked in their hearts, growing even more determined in their loyalty to Qin Xiao.
They knew that their choice was not wrong!
Qin Xiao stretched his muscles and bones, letting out a long breath of impure air.
The might of a Martial Immortal was fully displayed.
The Dharma Idol True Body was incredibly terrifying!
After Qin Xiao broke through to the Martial Immortal realm.
He could clearly feel the barrenness of this world.
It could not provide him with enough nourishment.
"Perhaps, this continent is a barren land?"
Qin Xiao formed a guess in his heart.
The Great Qin Imperial Dynasty from a thousand years ago might have chosen to leave for this very reason.
"This world is getting more and more interesting. It seems that only after I unite the world will I be able to uncover the ultimate secret!"
Qin Xiao grasped the Imperial Seal.
On the Imperial Seal, there was a puzzle piece.
It corresponded to the geographical layout of the entire world.
Now, the two puzzle pieces representing Wu Zhou and Great Qin were lit up.
Perhaps, as long as all the puzzle pieces were lit up, all secrets could be unlocked!
"Just what secret is hidden within the Imperial Seal? Why do I feel my blood boiling?"
"This feeling is as if my bloodline has received a baptism..."
Calling it a bloodline, Qin Xiao wasn't entirely sure.
But it was a thought that appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
The secret within the Imperial Seal held a fatal attraction for him.
"Phew!"
Qin Xiao gripped the Imperial Seal tightly and took a deep breath.
He didn't plan to study it any further right now.
He was still far from uniting the world.
Right now...
The most important thing was to improve the strength of his army!
Qin Xiao looked at the glittering troop card in his mind.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Soon, he would possess an invincible army!
An army that would sweep across the world!
"My beloved ministers, accompany me to the drill grounds."
Qin Xiao stood up and waved his large hand.
"I want to inspect my army!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."
