The Two-Realm System, a Period of Development!

"A teleportation array between two worlds?"

"Interesting. Qianyu is quite talented, and he inherited all of Fellow Daoist Huang's legacy before his death. We can allocate more resources to him in the future..."

As he spoke--

Qin Lu then pushed an Ascension Token towards Qin Daoran:

"The materials and construction methods for the Ascension Platform are all contained in this token. Daoran, give it to Qianyu and have him set up this formation first."

"Furthermore, once the Ascension Platform is connected to the Upper Realm, arrangements will be made for Ye Wuxu and Bai Yun to ascend. They will be told that after their ascension, they will most likely appear in the Cloud Sea Immortal Domain..."

"Long Yunxian: Long Yuntian's territory can be used as a stepping stone to join the Divine Court. Considering my status as a newly ascended True Immortal, I think Long Yunxian won't refuse..."

"Also, prepare a small gift as a token of our Qin Humans Clan's appreciation."

"Although our clan is unwilling to submit to the Divine Court, it does not prevent us from maintaining good relations with the Divine Court. If Bai Yun and Ye Wuxu can gain a foothold in the Divine Court, it will be of great benefit to our clan in the future."

Speaking of this--

Qin Daoran accepted the Ascension Token, already understanding the situation...

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the hidden meaning in the old man's words. Simply put, it was about investing in Ye Wuxu and Bai Yun...

Let's repay their kindness so they'll remember Qin Clan's good deeds in the future.

On the other hand, it was a deliberate act of doing Long Yunxian a favor. When the two interacted, it was a matter of you helping me with a small favor, and me helping you with a small favor.

Over time, this friendship was gradually built up in this way.

Our ancestors wanted to use this opportunity to both plant spies and cultivate good relations, hoping to gain as many advantages as possible through this method.

Although they did not submit to the Divine Court, they still showed a friendly attitude...

This can be seen as a tacit acknowledgment of the supreme status of the Divine Court, and the presence of a True Immortal force that is friendly to the Divine Court, even if it is not a formal submission.

But it's still better than never having any contact with the Divine Court again.

Which is more important, Long Yunxian must know perfectly well...

The meticulousness of our ancestors' minds is truly admirable!

Although Qin Lu had become Purple Void True Immortal, he was still unable to see into the thoughts of others. If he knew that Qin Daoran thought of him this way, he would probably be disappointed.

Although it was largely the same as Qin Daoran had imagined...

But in reality...

Qin Lu had already planted Soul Seed in Bai Yun's body. He had taken the opportunity to plant the seed during Bai Yun battle years ago...

Ye Wuxu is a seasoned veteran with a genuine personality.

But Bai Yun was far more senior and had a distant relationship with Qin Lu, so naturally she planted a backup plan on him...

This is also the fundamental reason why Bai Yun's opinion of the Qin Clan changed so completely.

Because from beginning to end, his changes were all influenced by Qin Lu's subtle influence, especially now that he has reached the realm of Purple Void True Immortal.

Controlling someone who's only at the Early Spirit Transformation is a piece of cake!

Truly skillful manipulation is never about stripping a puppet of its self-awareness or openly telling others, "This is a puppet I control..."

Instead, like Qin Lu, they make the puppet unaware that it is being controlled, and they even go so far as to deceive everyone and make sure that no one can see through their deception!

Qin Lu manipulates souls, and souls do as he pleases.

This is the terrifying aspect of Soul Dao True Immortal: they are all-pervasive. If Qin Lu wanted to, they could infiltrate all forces without leaving a trace!

Its abilities are bizarre and difficult to deal with, hard to kill, and hard to erase...

This is the true essence of the Soul Dao!

also--

Qin Lu also gave Qin Zheng the same instruction:

"This is a star map, which records a vast area of starry sky, including more than 1,300 star clusters and countless other star groups."

"The Qin Realm is located within a star cluster called Vast Spirit Star Sea."

"Our race needs to open new battlefields to plunder more resources to support our Qin Humans Clan, whether it's you or Daoran..."

"Or perhaps future generations will need more resources to support them."

"I will open a gateway to the Star Sea for the Frost Cloud Realm, and at the same time, I want you to assemble a Star Sea Expeditionary Force..."

"Order the Imperial Academy to further research and develop high-level warships capable of navigating the stars, with resources allocated from the Empire."

"Let the subordinates below pay what they should pay, and contribute their labor what they should contribute."

"Stepping into the starry sea to invade other worlds, using the Golden Core Realm as the threshold, forcibly conscripting all the first to sixth-rank Immortal Clan of the empire, forcing them to send people..."

"Tell them that as long as they achieve military merit, the empire is willing to open up opportunities for them to advance to the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage, and can also open a passage for them to ascend to the upper realm."

Having said that--

Qin Lu then delivered the star map scroll to Qin Zheng, as it concerned the future expansion plans of the Great Qin...

Judging from the current situation...

In the future, the Great Qin will focus more on conquering the starry seas, while establishing itself in the Upper Realm and developing its affairs will be left to Qin Daoran's Scarlet Yang Immortal Palace.

By recruiting disciples in the upper realm through a sect, one can maximize the number of talented young people one can gather, and thus utilize this group of people...

They're working for the Qin Clan's profit!

As for the Qin Realm itself, as the main base of the Qin Humans Race, it naturally hides in the starry sky, quietly developing its strength...

In the future, in the Upper Realm, there is the Scarlet Yang Immortal Sect as a cover, and in the Star Sea, there is the Great Qin Empire as the open front. The Empire and the Immortal Sect are just disguises for the Qin Clan.

The Qin Humans could then rest easy, and even if they encountered a powerful enemy one day, they could cut off their tails to survive and escape into the sea of stars to save their lives.

Following Qin Lu's instructions, Qin Zheng and Qin Daoran withdrew.

Next--

It's their turn, the younger generation, to lay the foundation for the future...

The first thing to do was to appoint the fourth patriarch of the Lineage, and without a doubt, Qin Xuanzi, who was personally trained by Qin Mingyi, took over.

At the same time, clan rules were established.

From then on, the Qin Clan clan patriarchs could only hold this position for two thousand years. This timeframe was precisely controlled, neither too long nor too short.

This ensures that the new clan leader can achieve some success, while also guaranteeing their future, preventing them from dying of old age at a certain level and allowing them more time to cultivate...

If one inherits the clan leader's minimum cultivation level, they will be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The requirements for future succession will be further raised, with a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm appointed as the Qin Humans Race, which is in line with the long-term development of the Qin Clan.

After that --

Both the Qin Realm and the Frost Cloud Realm underwent minor reforms. The Qin Clan retained some rights and territory...

Almost all of the Qin Clan disciples withdrew from the Frost Cloud Realm.

There are no more than a hundred of them now, and they remain in various parts of the Frost Cloud Realm, mainly performing routine inspection duties and guarding the four large Spirit Vein of the Frost Cloud Realm.

After all, this large Spirit Vein is a strategic resource, especially considering the extent to which Mid-Grade Spirit Stone can be used, even in the Upper Realm...

It can be considered a relatively valuable form of currency for transactions.

Especially for the Purple Void True Immortal, they either bartered or used Mid-Grade Spirit Stone as currency...

This shows that the more large Spirit Vein one controls...

This means their financial resources are becoming increasingly abundant!

In terms of long-term development and mining efficiency, each large Spirit Vein can only yield one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone every hundred years...

There are four Frost Cloud Realm and two Qin Realm, with only six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone every hundred years.

Of these six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, a portion must be allocated to Qin Daoran for Creation, and another portion to the long-term development of the empire...

At the same time, the Qin Clan's own offerings and the development of the Qin Realm must also be deducted.

A hundred years have passed, and Qin Lu has only managed to acquire a little over a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. Among True Immortal, that's considered extremely poor...

Even after saving for so many years, Qin Lu only had five or six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone at his disposal. According to the trading rules of True Immortal, this amount of money was only enough to buy a Sixth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure.
