Preparing to Found a Nation, Two Old Ghosts!

After a minor incident--

In the days that followed, the Qin Clan first gathered together a large number of scattered forces, then integrated the Seeking Dao Alliance, and took over the Seven Emotions Cult...

Its sphere of influence has expanded to four sea areas!

Among them, the Ten Thousand Reefs Sea Area, the Great Qin Sea centered on Qin Emperor Island, and the Seven Emotions Sea —these three sea areas all became Qin Clan's territory...

The Ten Thousand Winds Sea Area is jointly governed by the Joyous Union Sect, the Qin Clan, and the Supreme Mystery Immortal Sect.

Their influence and scope have expanded ever since, with nearly twenty Dao Foundation factions alone, far surpassing the strength of the Da Zhou in its heyday...

As its size increases, it grows exponentially!

The Qin Clan dynasty's establishment of its state is also gradually accelerating, especially among the four factions and seven families that follow the Qin Clan, as well as a host of vassal forces...

Many urged the Qin Clan to establish a state!

Even more extreme were those like Su Qin, Gan Long, and Zhang Yi, who jointly submitted a memorial, even draping a dragon-patterned imperial robe over Qin Xiao's shoulders, saying:

"Your Qin Wang, it's getting cold."

"You should put on another layer of clothing. Wear this robe for now, lest you catch a cold..."

Such matters were endless and tiresome, and it was the consensus of the people that once the Qin Clan dynasty was established, these early elders...

Those are all meritorious officials; they have rendered meritorious service in supporting the emperor's rise to power. How could they not be promoted to generals and ennobled?!

And at this moment--

Vast Dao Field, on the Two Forms Lake.

Qin Lu took out a seven-colored flower basket and handed it to Haiyue. This was one of the Eight Immortals 'Immortal Method controlled by the Seven Emotions Cult Sect...

The Seven Emotions Flower Basket is one of the core elements of the Eight Immortals Sea Formation!

"Take this. With it, you'll no longer be suppressed by the formation here and can travel freely both domestically and internationally..."

"But you're probably aware of the drawbacks."

"But a near- Fifth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure is something no one would easily give up, especially since it can also assist its master in comprehending the Dao Law..."

"This will help you Nascent Soul Formation in the future; it's a constraint, but also fortuitous opportunity!"

"As a demonic plant, time is your greatest asset. You have ample and abundant time to slowly cultivate your cultivation level..."

Upon hearing this, Haiyue smiled calmly.

With a flick of his finger, the Seven Emotions Flower Basket flew into his hand. He dripped a drop of his Essence Blood onto it, thus making it his own, while on the back of his hand...

Then a flower basket-shaped tattoo appeared, its vibrant colors quite beautiful, perfectly complementing Haiyue's gentle smile...

It has a unique, exotic charm!

"These are minor matters. With this, I can move freely throughout the world. That is what I value most..."

"Speaking of which..."

"Aren't these Eight Immortals treasures supposed to be integrated with the user?"

Where did you get this from?

"The Seven Emotions True Person, could it be that he has truly perished?"

Upon hearing this—

Qin Lu took a sip of tea, sighed, shook his head, and then nodded, saying:

"Yes and no, I searched the soul of the Seven Emotions Cult elder..."

"From this, we learn that the Seven Emotions True Person has indeed perished, but only his physical body was destroyed by a dragon king..."

"Later, its spirit, relying on the Seven Emotions Flower Basket, escaped back to the Eight Immortals Sea."

"In order to make a comeback in the future, he left the Seven Emotions Flower Basket within the sect, entrusted to one of the sect's elders..."

"He took over his position and continuously supplied Spiritual Power to the formation."

"As for the remnant soul of the Seven Emotions True Person, its whereabouts are unknown. Like the remnant soul of the True Person Guiling, it found a corner and hid away..."

"Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Two remnant Golden Core souls are eyeing us covetously, but those two old ghosts don't dare to show themselves casually."

"The news of my cultivation of the Soul Dao is already known to everyone in the Eight Immortals Sea."

"With me here, those two old devils won't easily reveal their weaknesses. But if I catch them, they won't be so quick to die..."

Speaking of this--

Qin Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of pure killing intent. Instantly, a chill swept over, and frost formed over the entire lakeside...

Half of the lake surface was covered with a thin layer of ice!

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you..."

"Truly as domineering as ever. Having only recently Core Formation, your power is several times stronger than mine..."

"As expected, Fellow Daoist Qin is a born killer!"

"With such a strong aura of killing intent, how could you possess such excellent alchemy skills? It truly baffles me..."

"Oh, right."

"I heard from Bi'er that the Qin Clan is planning to establish a country?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what are you thinking? Do you really intend to unify the Eight Immortals Sea and wipe out all the other sects?"

"Be careful not to incur public wrath and bring disaster upon yourself."

Upon hearing this—

Qin Lu smiled calmly, a smile that seemed to possess a certain magic, a confidence that looked down upon the world, and an absolute trust in his own strength!

But this is understandable, considering he is a prodigy who has comprehended two Dao Law and seems to possess some kind of special physique...

After successfully advancing to the Golden Core stage, there are very few people in this world who can threaten him.

In this era where the Spirit Transformation stage is not yet visible, the Nascent Soul is not yet established.

The Golden Core stage already represents the highest combat power that can be openly mobilized...

Nascent Soul do exist, but they represent the accumulated strength of various factions and clans, and they wouldn't easily reveal themselves. If even Nascent Soul were to be mobilized...

It's either extinction of the entire race or interference with the continuation of the clan's destiny...

Under such circumstances-

Golden Core who wants to die is very difficult to kill completely unless under special circumstances, especially those with special abilities...

Especially cultivators like Qin Lu, who are proficient in the ways of ghosts.

The possibility of completely killing it is almost negligible; at the Golden Core level, even a missing heart can be repaired...

As long as the physical body doesn't instantly turn into ashes.

In theory, regardless of the type of injury, it can be rapidly repaired by absorbing the power of the Dao Law...

Moreover, cultivators who are proficient in ghosts and spirits can still be reborn by possessing another body, or even directly seize another's body, even if the physical body is gone!

"Fellow Moon Dao, rest assured, I, Qin, am well aware of the situation."

"The Great Qin's progress will not stop; it will only grow stronger. The establishment of a new nation is imminent, and no one..."

"They can stop the advance of the Great Qin!"

"The Great Qin will be officially established soon; that's already a foregone conclusion..."

"When the time comes, I, Qin, will reserve a place for you, fellow Daoist. We are in the same boat, and with the Great Qin..."

"You have many advantages too, don't you?"
