The Floating World United Under One Rule

Gu Yuanqing played with the mirror for a while before putting it back into his Storage Bag, intending to nurture it with his Divine Sense later to see if there would be any changes.

Lying in the Chair, he immersed his consciousness into the Void Heaven World within his body.

Although the world at this time has formed certain Rules for its operation, it still appears very rudimentary, merely a large framework. Cultivation in the Void Heaven Realm is about perfecting this world.

By using True Essence and understanding of the Great Dao, this world becomes more perfect. As this world becomes more perfect, one's own Divine Soul can influence the Outer Realm through the power of the Rules here. This is the Void Heaven Domain.

The Void Heaven Realm is divided based on the degree of perfection of one's own world.

The Void Heaven Initial Realm signifies the initial formation of the Void Heaven World's framework.

The minor completion of the Void Heaven Realm means that the Void Heaven World is stable and can be transformed into Void Heaven Domain to influence the Outer Realm.

The Great Accomplishment is the perfection of the world.

As for the Heavenly Human Realm, it is achieved by touching upon the Way of Space through the Void Heaven World, thus allowing this illusory world to transform into the real world.

Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "What level am I at in the Void Heaven Realm right now? Let's just say I've reached the Lesser Completion stage. Although I have many types of Dao Resonance, it's still far too weak."

Ordinary Void Heaven Cultivator need to spend decades, or even hundreds of years, to truly stabilize their Void Heaven World and form their own domain, and most of them rely on one or two Dao Resonance as their foundation.

For example, the Scorpion Demon that was killed by Gu Yuanqing, whose Heavenly Human World was entirely composed of the Geng Metal, and the Dao it cultivated when it was in the Void Heaven Realm was also the Geng Metal Dao.

But Gu Yuanqing was different; all the Dao Resonance he gained came from Mountain Observation, and he had dabbled in various Daoist paths.

When he was condensing the world, he also used the methods of Mountain Observation and Object Control Method. It was all of these that made the condensed Void Heaven World incredibly vast. Fortunately, his foundation came from the Sacred Martial Divine Treasury, otherwise he would not have been able to support such a world.

Such a vast world requires an immense amount of Dao Resonance and True Essence, so although he has comprehended a great deal of Dao Resonance, it is still insufficient to fill the framework of this world.

"The road ahead is long!"

He sighed, but his mind was extremely peaceful. After all, he was no longer in any Life and Death crisis and had enough time to calmly cultivate.

Time flies by in the Mountain, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Another piece of good news has arrived at North Spring Mountain: Gu Yuanqing has leveled up again!

Chen Binglan gave birth to a son, a joyous occasion for the Great Qian Emperor.

Li Haotian, who had already broken through to the Dao Embryo Realm, had already rushed to Fengtian City.

Gu Yuanqing also went to the Imperial Palace in person and personally held the Newborn baby in his arms.

As night fell.

Gu Yuanqing returned to North Spring Mountain, looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, and suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"I'm not even married yet, and I've suddenly become a grandfather!"

The Newborn child retains the surname Li and is named Li Guanrong, in order to carry on the Li Family's legacy.

In fact, given Gu Yuanqing's control and influence over the Floating World at this time, even if Li Haotian changed his surname to Gu, no one could make a fuss.

However, Gu Yuanqing had no such intention, and besides, the name was given by Li Miaoxuan, so there was no need for it.

Two years later, Li Chengyi went up North Spring Mountain. He was now twenty-seven years old, with a short beard and an air of authority that he had long held in high esteem.

However, in front of Gu Yuanqing, he remained the same as before.

"Greetings, Father." He knelt and kowtowed respectfully.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and used a burst of energy to help him up, laughing, "You're not young anymore, and you're the emperor, you don't need to kneel every time you see me."

Li Chengyi said, "Although I am the emperor, I am still your son. I live in the Imperial Dynasty and have never served you. It is only right that I kowtow and pay my respects."

He knelt and bowed, and the father and son sat at the tea table.

"Speak, what brings you here this time?"

How did Father know I had something on my mind?

"If there wasn't something urgent, why didn't you bring Binglan and Guanrong along?"

As Li Chengyi poured tea for Gu Yuanqing, he explained, "Binglan is currently at a crucial stage in her cultivation."

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard you recently took a concubine?"

Li Chengyi seemed somewhat embarrassed. "I didn't mean it that way. It was Binglan who insisted, saying that she was all alone in the harem and it was too lonely. If people didn't understand, they would think the Empress was jealous. This is also to ensure the continuation of the Li family's lineage."

Gu Yuanqing warned, "Binglan is your lawfully wedded wife. Don't be fickle and abandon her for someone new, or I won't let you off the hook."

Li Chengyi replied, "Father, rest assured, no one can compare to Binglan in my heart."

Gu Yuanqing then said, "Speak, what is it?"

Li Chengyi stood up and said, "Father, I wish to send troops against the Great Zhou to unify this realm, which is why I have come to seek your instructions."

Gu Yuanqing was not surprised. Although he devoted himself to cultivation and did not concern himself with external affairs, he could still hear some things from Mountain Observation this world. This matter had been mentioned in the Great Qian Dynasty many years ago.

He said calmly, "You can handle it as you see fit. I have no objection, but don't commit too many atrocities."

Upon hearing his father's agreement, Li Chengyi immediately smiled, "Father, rest assured. With this realm unified, the entire Floating World will be subjects of the Great Qian Dynasty. Moreover, with the World Conflict imminent, I naturally understand."

Li Chengyi stayed in the Mountain for half a day. He also looked at the various beasts in the Mountain Mountain. However, he was no longer the child he used to be. Although he was still friendly with Mountain beasts, the atmosphere was different from before.

The white fox jumped into his arms, its Water Spirit eyes fixed on Li Chengyi. It seemed to be in a much better mood than Chen Binglan was.

As he left, Gu Yuanqing stood atop the mountain, staring blankly for a long time, before finally letting out a soft sigh, "He's grown up."

One month later, the Great Qian Kingdom launched an attack on the Great Zhou.

Since ancient times, the Taiwu Mountain Range have separated the two countries, and the vast ice fields have served as a natural barrier, making it difficult for large armies to cross the mountains to launch an attack.

But for the Great Qian at this time, Taiwu Mountain was no longer anything significant.

More than twenty years after the Heavenly Ladder descended, there are thousands of Dao Embryo Cultivator throughout the Great Qian. Almost all the generals in the army are at this level, while the major generals are mostly Dao Fire Cultivator.

Even ordinary soldiers are at the Profound Martial Middle Rank.

Li Chengyi personally led the expedition; as a Grand Cultivator of the Divine Platform, his presence on the battlefield was practically an abuse of power.

It should be noted that he is, in name only, Gu Yuanqing's personal disciple. All cultivators in this realm cultivate in the Three Great Three Great Dao Halls Three Great Dao Halls, which were established by order of Gu Yuanqing.

In other words, Gu Yuanqing of North Spring Mountain can almost be considered the ancestor of cultivation in this world. Which cultivator in the world would dare to oppose him?

Upon hearing that Li Chengyi was going to personally lead the expedition, Emperor Duanmu Jing of the Great Zhou Emperor knelt in the Ancestral Shrine for seven days without eating or drinking.

When the army of the Great Qian Kingdom arrived, he led the royal family and court officials of the Great Zhou to kneel before the imperial city and present the Imperial Heirloom Seal.

Li Chengyi, who had originally intended to personally lead the army to launch a major battle, suddenly lost interest; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

Seven days later, the Great Qian Dynasty issued an imperial edict summoning the entire nation, bestowing upon Duanmu Jing of King of Zhou.

Subsequently, without Great Qian having to lift a finger, the surrounding small states all declared themselves vassal states and acknowledged Great Qian as their master.

Within a month, this Floating World was unified!
