Merging the Eight Seas, a Grand Consolidation!
The great battle was won, and the people were able to recuperate.
The sun and moon revolve, and time flies.
All things are born in spring and return to the origin of one energy.
31st year of the Great Qin Dynasty --
This is the first year since the Great Qin Dynasty unified China, and also the beginning of a golden age...
After making arrangements for Qin Zheng, Qin Lu resumed his seclusion, having absorbed the souls of three Core Formation True Person, though a large amount of their essence had not yet been fully absorbed...
This retreat is to integrate and apply what I have learned!
in addition--
The Nether Sha Sword: God Devouring needs to be forged again. Because the mastery time is too short, it requires more time to achieve a deeper level of integration...
Besides that, there's the refining of the Ghost King Seal: Earth Burial!
This treasure, capable of devouring heaven and earth, successfully upgraded its rank to Fourth-Tier Law Treasure after consuming nearly half of the cultivators of the Myriad Dharma Sect during the last war...
Qin Lu would naturally need to spend some time properly integrating the treasures.
Once the three treasures are refined, and one's cultivation level is further improved, one can then focus on studying the Treasures of the Eight Immortals and exploring their mysteries...
According to Myriad Dharma True Person and the Supreme Records of the Myriad Dharma Sect throughout history, Qin Lu has roughly figured out the history of the Eight Immortals Sea...
According to the records--
These Treasures of the Eight Immortals are most likely related to the ruins of the Eight Immortals Dao Sect!
It even involves a secret realm, after all, there's no known story among the Eight Gates of the Eight Immortals Sea that any of them ever established a secret realm...
It's not that they were unwilling to explore, but rather that they were unable to...
Even the secret realm opened up by Haiyue was only an internal secret realm, not an external one, which clearly indicates that there was some kind of limitation!
This might be related to the Eight Seas Grand Array, which sealed off the entire space within the Eight Immortals Sea, or perhaps the space within the Eight Immortals Sea itself...
It was subjected to some kind of Dao Law force, thus restricting the creation of space.
Of course, that's all in the future.
Qin Lu wasn't in a hurry, taking things one step at a time. However, to ensure a stable power supply for the Eight Seas Grand Array, Qin Lu had specially set up five Spirit Gathering Great Formation...
This offering is meant to support the five Treasures of the Eight Immortals, ensuring that the foundation of the Eight Seas Grand Array is not shaken...
After that --
Qin Lu went into seclusion, Qing Centipede remained dormant in the Dragon-Nurturing Sea, leaving only Haiyue with some free time. As Wood Demon, her growth rate was inherently slow...
Furthermore, one can cultivate gradually through one's own body.
Therefore, Haiyue became the most active Core Formation among the Eight Immortals Sea, spending her days either taking Qin Zheng or guiding Flower Princess and Bi Xiu in their cultivation...
In order to create more members of their race, the three Wood Demon used the Hidden Dragon Dao Field as a breeding ground for the Wood Demon, constantly awakening the intelligence of the Spirit Plant...
Although the success rate is low, with consistent effort over time, there will eventually be successful cases...
However, the probability is extremely low, since the birth of most Wood Demon requires perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious human interaction—all three are indispensable...
Artificially stimulating intelligence is ultimately nothing more than wishful thinking...
And within the Qin Clan—
They became more reserved. Although the Great Qin unified the Eight Seas, the internal competition within the Qin Clan intensified...
Internal screening is even more rigorous!
While increasing support for their disciples, the Great Qin the selection process for its members...
Every member of the Qin Clan who stands out from the crowd possesses absolute loyalty to the Lineage, and their talent and ruthlessness are among the best in the clan!
Those who are given important positions--
Their political skills are beyond question; each one is a political monster, and all possess exceptional talent, regardless of where they are placed in the Great Qin...
They can adapt extremely quickly and gradually gain control...
Moreover, these carefully selected members of the Qin Clan are almost impossible to corrupt; neither women nor money can sway their hearts!
Qin Xuanze was the most outstanding among them.
As the most shrewd socialite among the new generation, he quickly rose to become the highest-ranking member of the Qin Clan clan in the Great Qin...
After serving as an official for more than 20 years, he rose step by step from a lowly eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites to a high-ranking third-rank official, and even became one of the most influential people in the Ministry of Rites!
In recent years, his prestige has gradually caught up with that of the Six Grand Secretaries...
He was decisive and ruthless in his actions, almost becoming a vicious wolf in the Great Qin, affecting the entire Great Qin Daoist academy system...
They were all cleaned once, with extremely meticulous care!
Those who feigned submission, or those who engaged in shady dealings behind the scenes, were killed by Qin Xuanze, both openly and secretly...
It is currently in the court--
One of Qin Minghan's most trusted close advisors, under his intensive tutelage, has also made rapid progress in his cultivation, and now possesses the cultivation level of the Qi Condensation Seventh Layer...
During the Qin and Five Dynasties period, it was one of the top two!
And these--
This is merely a microcosm of five generations of the Qin Clan...
Compared to previous generations, the Qin and Five Dynasties were of extremely high overall quality, never lacking resources, and further enhanced by years of warfare...
And the rigorous selection process within the Qin Clan!
This resulted in almost every member of the Qin Clan five generations possessing a unique skill or excelling in a particular field, and exhibiting ruthless killing techniques...
Almost everyone's hands are stained with blood!
After the Great Qin Dynasty unified China—
Qin Xuanze was also the first minister to propose integrating the Eight Seas system, based on its divisions, and after discussions among several Grand Secretaries...
Finally, at the end of the 31st year of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The layout of the Eight Immortals Sea has been redesigned, integrating numerous large and small sea areas into eight major sea areas...
And named after: Great Qin Sea, Dragon-Nurturing Sea, Myriad Life Sea, Love and Joy Sea, Returning Spirit Sea, Heart Questioning Sea, Thousand Autumns Sea, Spirit Burial Sea...
With these Eight Seas, the entire layout of the Eight Immortals Sea was reorganized!
It governs the land of nine provinces within the sea, totaling seventy-two provinces, with each province governing five protectorates, totaling three hundred and sixty protectorates...
This constitutes the current governance system.
