The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 303: Transformed Immortal Soul, Suet Jade Bottle

A figure was teleported out directly.

But then, the three boxes fell.

The avatar was directly dispelled.

This body was originally created to receive three Jiang Li's from the capital.

Why not take advantage of it? He has done a lot for the Great Xia Dynasty.

These matters should have been handled by the Great Xia Dynasty itself.

Now that Qin Hao has helped resolve the issue, he has accepted the three magical treasures, which can be considered as settling the karmic debt.

Snapped.

The three sealed boxes fell to the ground.

Generally speaking, these items are returned.

It was originally meant for them to collect magical artifacts and treasures inside.

Once you've come out, you naturally have to return it.

Otherwise, if we go in next time and bring more boxes, wouldn't we be able to collect more treasures?
Despite the protection of the Divine Capital Formation, others should have little chance.

The formation will immediately respond if it detects that any treasures are missing.

There are some things that can be taken away, but Qin Hao will not take them.

The box also has markings on it for easy location.

Although he could block it, there was no need to keep it.

Inside the main hall, Emperor Hengming's eyes flickered, and his brows furrowed.

"Disappeared? What exactly happened? Did it disappear because it finished its mission, or..."

"No, the great formation didn't react at all, so it must be a problem with the manifestation body."

The manifestations created by Buddhism are truly a source of worry.

Wouldn't it be annoying if we made a lot of them?
He reached out and tried to grab something, but he couldn't grasp anything.

"Not even a trace of energy leaked out?"

He was somewhat disappointed, but even more puzzled.

Isn't Qin Hao a cultivator in the third realm?

Even if the clone is at the fourth realm, it shouldn't be like this.

He didn't quite understand, but his brows furrowed.

"This is rather strange. Even at the fourth realm, or even at its peak, one's aura shouldn't be sealed off so tightly. This is a characteristic possessed only by those with a flawless body."

Legend has it that only those who have reached the Innate Realm can cultivate a flawless body.

Others, unless they specialize in physical cultivation.

For example, the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art has this characteristic: at the moment of becoming an immortal, one can cultivate a flawless body.

Emperor Hengming did not believe that Qin Hao possessed such talent and ability.

"Alright, this farce should end now. The passage still needs to be cleared, so let's send out some troops."

Emperor Hengming glanced at Qin Zhenyuan, then looked away.

Qin Zhenyuan was taken aback, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

However, he did not show it.

Fortunately, the Crimson Dragon Army has greatly improved, so even if they are conscripted, they will not be cannon fodder.

Hmm, I won't be cannon fodder at the bottom.

However, Emperor Hengming's behavior was a bit too obvious.

"Why?"

Fortunately, the decision regarding this corps has not yet been finalized, and there is still a possibility of change.

But Qin Zhenyuan felt that his family's Crimson Dragon Army was probably beyond repair.

"Go back and ask Hao'er, there must be something going on here."

He lowered his head and didn't show it.

His strength has now reached the late stage of the third realm.

It even possesses the combat power of the peak of the third realm.

He possessed many magical treasures, and their quality was quite good.

Even an enemy at the fourth level wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.

If he summons the Five-Colored Warriors, he alone can rival the Red Dragon Army of three thousand.

Of course, that was on the premise that Qin Hao agreed to let him summon, or even help him pay the cost.

Emperor Hengming stood up: "As for the list of troops, you can discuss it and submit it to the cabinet for a decision. I'll head back now."

He also needs to diligently cultivate himself.

As for the Qin family?

Emperor Hengming didn't really care.

He might not be able to control Qin Hao, but surely he could handle the rest of the Qin family?

Don't think that Qin Zhenyuan, that old fox, doesn't know; he's already advanced to the late stage of the third realm.

But so what?
Before a massive demonic passage, a third-realm cultivator is nothing.

It might not even be able to create a wave.

Everyone knows this.

It's ridiculous.

At the third level, outside of the imperial court, one would at least be considered a top-tier expert.

But facing the passageway, it's difficult to save one's life.

Xiao Jingyi glanced back and saw quite a few people.

He knew that Qin Zhenyuan, the Earl of Anyuan, was being watched by His Majesty, and that his family's Crimson Dragon Army was definitely on the list.

But so what?
He wouldn't argue with Emperor Hengming over such a trivial matter.

Since everyone has to go, it doesn't matter who goes.

"Moreover, the Crimson Dragon Army has developed quite well in recent years. It is said that their cultivation levels have generally improved. So it is only right to recruit them."

At least it's useful.

But the benefits must be sufficient.

Siew Ching-i is the Vice Prime Minister. The Prime Minister did not attend, but he has essentially seized control of the cabinet.

In fact, during the past few years when the demonic calamities broke out, he mobilized troops and made many contributions, thus securing his position.

The cabinet and the emperor were originally in a cooperative relationship, but they also suppressed each other.

Xiao Jingyi did a pretty good job.

But when the Prime Minister looked over, his old eyes seemed a little dim, but if you looked closely, you could tell that there was still a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Xiao Jingyi thought he had won the power of the cabinet by pandering to Emperor Hengming. He thought he was so great, but little did he know that he was the one who had fallen into Emperor Hengming's trap."

Having dealt with Emperor Hengming for decades, how could the Prime Minister not know what Emperor Hengming was thinking?

The two sides have always been mutually suppressing and cooperating.

As for the Crimson Dragon Army, Xiao Jingyi really didn't care.

Little did he know that by making this decision, he was indeed pandering to Emperor Hengming.

But that would be digging a hole for yourself.

If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will need the help of the Dragon King of Pengze Lake.

That's when it was truly funny and interesting.

Although he looks old and his eyesight is failing, he actually has excellent eyesight.

That's why I chose to retire at the peak of my career.

He appeared to have been forced out, but in reality, he orchestrated everything himself.

Whether it was Emperor Hengming or anyone else, they all thought he was resentful.

Only he himself knows that he did all of this voluntarily.

"A great calamity is coming. It looks like I'll have to leave this prime ministership soon."

The grand court assembly ended, and the officials departed.

Qin Zhenyuan came out immediately, he was a little anxious, he wanted to know some things.

As for the conscripted corps, the list will be announced within three days.

After that, they will need to prepare some resources on their own.

Military campaigns are not child's play.

The logistics are in dire need of support.

Weapons and equipment, spiritual rice and water, and pills also need to be prepared.

There are detoxifying pills, pills to aid in spiritual practice, and even pills for fasting.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jingyi and others gathered together in the cabinet.

He looked around, just about to speak.

Prime Minister Lu Xia coughed and interrupted, and Xiao Jingyi frowned. Could this old man still want to seize control of the cabinet?
He has already given him enough face to stay in the cabinet for a while longer.

When the time comes for a leadership transition, let him step down.

However, Lu Xia did not say much. The purpose of this cabinet meeting was to decide on the corps to be recruited this time.

He didn't want to get involved in this opportunity.

This is definitely going to be a showdown with the Dragon King of Pengze Lake.

He had previously sensed Qin Hao's true form and realized that the other party's cultivation level was not low, but his own foundation was unfathomable.

He just happened to encounter this situation, and he didn't want to offend anyone.

"I am old and frail, and my health is failing. My blood and energy are declining. Over the years, I have been thinking that perhaps I should retire and return to my hometown. Today, I have come across this opportunity. The matter of conscripting soldiers is of great importance, and I am already overwhelmed. Therefore, I am submitting this memorial today to request my retirement."

"Begging for one's remains" is just a polite way of saying it.

But his statement was indeed unexpected by everyone.

Even Xiao Jingyi was the same.

He carefully observed Lu Xia's expression and saw that he was still senile, with lifeless eyes.

He would only occasionally reveal a glint of cunning, letting people know that he was no ordinary person.

The Prime Minister is quite capable.

Saying you're powerless is just an excuse.

Of course, this also led to the defeat of the party/strife.

Xiao Jingyi was willing to give him this respect, but what about today?
With a quick thought, Xiao Jingyi roughly understood.

This is because they don't want to offend anyone.

However, those noble groups were not monolithic.

Anyway, everyone has to take turns going; it's just a matter of time.

He also realized that the Qianyang Realm was now filled with calamity energy, overflowing everywhere, and what it was dealing with was the calamity of the Demon Realm.

This is not something you can avoid simply by staying away from the court.

On the contrary, if he steps down as prime minister, his family may lose the confidence they once had.

Although Lu Xia will eventually retire, there is a big difference between being in office and not being in office.

If he steps down, the Lu family will have to give up a lot of its interests.

How could a new leader possibly stand by and watch you devour what rightfully belongs to me?
Those who have already benefited from the system would probably not be willing to accept this either.

Therefore, a fierce battle is inevitable.

"However, there are rumors that this old man's strength is no weaker than that of the Divine Might Grand Duke. He is not someone to be trifled with."

Many thoughts flashed through Xiao Jingyi's mind before he solemnly asked, "Has the Prime Minister figured it out?"

With so many benefits, even if Lu Xia is extremely powerful.

Now it's time for it to start declining.

Even if he retains seven-tenths of his strength, how long can he hold out?

Furthermore, once he relinquishes his position as prime minister, the protection of the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune will also depart.

His blood and energy will decline even faster.

Looking at it this way, this deal is really not worth it.

But to Xiao Jingyi's surprise, yet seemingly as it should be, Lu Xia nodded: "It's decided. I will hand over the seal of the Prime Minister to you. From now on, you will be the head of the cabinet. I will submit the memorials immediately, and I will resign from this position today."

After saying that, Lu Xia took out the Prime Minister's seal and placed it on the desk.

Lu Xia then laughed and walked out of the cabinet.

Looking back, Lu Xia took one last look at the cabinet before leaving without hesitation.

This nonchalant attitude surprised even Xiao Jingyi.

"So, in his view, this position is now more of a disadvantage than an advantage. Does he almost think it's a monster?"

The next moment, he sensed an even greater aura descending, but it remained suspended in mid-air, not yet falling. This was because the position of Prime Minister had not yet been approved by the Cabinet, nor submitted to Emperor Hengming, and thus had not been finalized.

But that's enough.

Xiao Jingyi didn't care at all. Lu Xia felt it was dangerous, but he felt it was an opportunity.

He was only a hundred years old, but he was already in the middle stage of the fourth realm, and he was already close to advancing to the late stage.

However, their combat power is already at its peak.

With this good fortune, he will cultivate to the peak of the fourth realm even faster.

In the future, ascension is expected.

He didn't care about the negative impacts of the position.

Every advantage has its disadvantages; it's impossible to only have the advantages and discard the disadvantages.

"In that case, I will temporarily lead the cabinet meeting..."

In fact, previous cabinet meetings were always chaired by Siu Ching-i.

Lu Xia had long since stopped interfering in affairs. He usually remained silent here, even when Xiao Jingyi asked for his opinion.

Lu Xia did not answer.

It's only suitable for someone who wants the rights and benefits of being a prime minister.

But they fail to fulfill their obligations.

Now she has completely given up this position and returned to her family.

Lu Xia felt a surge of energy leave his body, causing him to hunch over slightly for a moment.

"Simply by relinquishing his position, he immediately reclaimed his fortune."

Within this divine formation, power vanished instantly.

Their combat effectiveness has decreased by at least 50%.

Moreover, the rate at which my vital energy and blood are declining has accelerated slightly.

However, once this thing was gone, the shackles that had been troubling him were also removed.

There was a feeling of freedom I had never experienced before.

Rights and obligations are always reciprocal, Lu Xia felt, and that you have to give up something to gain something.

In an instant, my state of mind improved.

After Qin Zhenyuan returned, he immediately logged into Qin Hao's SkyNet account and met with him.

"Have you chosen your items?"

"Hmm." Qin Hao nodded: "I selected some good things, but I also revealed some things."

For example, being able to transfer what one has obtained.

This point was already being tested by the other party, and it was impossible to hide it from them.

The other party should also know about the matter of the body being manifested.

“Grandfather, there’s no need to worry. It was the proper thing to do. But I’m afraid you’ll be in some trouble.”

"Yeah," Qin Zhenyuan said, somewhat speechless, "You're the one who caused this trouble, and as a result, I and the Crimson Dragon Army are most likely to suffer."

"So, before it was a recruitment order from the sect. Now it's a recruitment order for your esteemed family?"

The noble group of the Great Xia Dynasty had many people, if not eight hundred, then more than a thousand.

Each family has its own private army, the number and strength of which vary.

The original Crimson Dragon Army was nothing special.

But over the past few years, with Qin Hao's support, the Crimson Dragon Army has undergone tremendous changes.

Although their numbers have remained unchanged, their strength has increased by at least three times.

Even the auxiliary soldiers have cultivated their skills and possess certain strong attributes.

Qin Zhenyuan voiced his guess: "I will probably receive the order to deploy the Crimson Dragon Army in about three days. However, since I was granted a title, I have rarely even left the capital. This time, I have finally found the time."

Qin Hao nodded. They had actually guessed this before.

Moreover, both Qin Hao and Qin Zhenyuan speculated that Emperor Hengming was likely behind Qin Hualin's incident back then.

“Well, since Grandfather is going to war, why don’t we have Grandmother bring Aunt to Qinghe Bay for a short stay?”

Qin Hao suggested.

They said it was just a short stay.

In reality, it's a permanent residence.

Everyone's out now, who's going to go out?
The laws of the Great Xia Dynasty stipulated that those with noble titles could not leave at will, but there were no such requirements for their families.

It's best to leave now while we can.

Qin Zhenyuan had obviously thought of this as well, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Very well, let's take this opportunity to withdraw the main force of the family. Otherwise, if the calamity of the demon race gets stronger, our family will have to be buried with the Great Xia Dynasty."

Qin Hao was somewhat surprised: "Grandfather's trust in me actually exceeds that of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Qin Zhenyuan gave Qin Hao a strange look: "You're too shameless, kid."

However, the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed unreliable.

Your father's actions back then were probably also related to Emperor Hengming's arrangements.

Qin Hao nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. You should have Grandmother and Aunt set off as soon as possible. I'll have General Crab come and protect them as they leave."

Oh, and if possible, let my eldest cousin come too.

My Qinghewan region is also lacking a commander-in-chief.

My cousin Qin Lan is in the second-rate Danyang Sect. With my help, her cultivation level has also increased significantly.

At least, she has mastered the Danyang Fire.

His cultivation level is relatively high.

They discussed it for a while longer.

Qin Zhenyuan then logged off and found Chu Xiuying.

"You should also get ready so that the eldest daughter-in-law can leave. Oh, and send a message to Qin Yang, telling him to leave his current place and meet up with you in Qinghe Bay. It's not like he's always working for someone else; it's not like he doesn't have a position for himself in our own family."

And then there's my daughter's side.

Qin Zhenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Write to Qin Huaxian and tell her to move her whole family. Either to Yuzhang or to Qinghewan together."

Chu Xiuying was still somewhat doubtful: "Does it have to go this far?"

Qin Zhenyuan sighed and said after a long while, "It's not that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but a great calamity is coming, and it will be extremely dangerous."

Hao'er is promising, and Qinghe Bay is also very powerful.

Only when the whole family is together can they overcome this tribulation.

I also need to find an opportunity to leave and take the Crimson Dragon Army to Qinghe Bay.

This world is likely to be plagued by endless disasters.

This intensity is far beyond what it was before.

"Or rather, what came before was just a prelude, and the intensity was only at the beginner level."

Chu Xiuying also sighed, and said, "Today my mother sent another letter asking me to go back."

"Don't worry about it. You and I already know your parents' stance, so there's no need to interfere. I heard from Hao'er that the Dragon Clan also has plans, and they probably want to cause some trouble during this great calamity. It's best to leave as soon as possible and not get involved."

"Okay, I've already packed my things. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"No, you must set off immediately. Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances. As long as I stay behind alone, nothing else matters," Qin Zhenyuan said hastily.

Anyway, everything is already inside the world ring.

What remains is nothing but an empty shell.

This mansion certainly took a lot of effort to build.

But as long as they are still around, and the order of the Great Xia Dynasty remains, nothing will happen.

As for the rest, I've already taken them with me.

Chu Xiuying was taken aback, but she quickly informed her daughter-in-law and immediately led the caravan to set off.

Ostensibly, he was going to see his grandson, but also to do business.

They brought a lot of local specialties from the vicinity of the capital, intending to sell them in Qinghe Bay.

The Qin family's actions were quickly gathered.

But Qin Zhenyuan himself was still waiting at the door. Since he didn't leave, the Great Xia Dynasty had nothing to criticize.

Just as Xiao Jingyi finalized the list and added the Crimson Dragon Army, he received news that Chu Xiuying, along with her eldest daughter-in-law and the Qin family's merchant caravan, had left the capital.

He raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and checked Qin Zhenyuan's location.

Also, the location of the Crimson Dragon Army.

He didn't say anything after that.

What's wrong with family members going out to visit their grandchildren?
As long as Earl Anyuan and the Red Dragon Army haven't left, everything will be fine.

As for the safety of the Qin family members and the caravan?

A glint flashed in Xiao Jingyi's eyes: "That Crab General is not weak either. Although his strength is slightly reduced when he is out of the water, he is still stronger than even I. If someone really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid they will not benefit from it."

He still gave the list, intending to announce it three days later.

He knew Lu Xia's plans.

But Xiao Jingyi disdained to do that. Since people had to be chosen anyway, why couldn't the Qin family be chosen?
As long as I achieve my dreams, none of these things matter.

As soon as the Qin family's caravan left the capital, it was secretly watched by others.

The eldest aunt asked with some concern, "Mother?"

Chu Xiuying shook her head: "Don't worry, the guards of my Qin family are also very capable. And, well, they've already arrived."

A group of men in black came from afar and joined the Qin family's caravan.

Some people could vaguely make out the appearances of certain individuals, all of whom were quite rugged.

The two leading figures had a pair of dragon horns that were faintly visible on their heads.

"That is?"

The aunt was deeply shocked.

Chu Xiuying was genuinely concerned and explained softly, "Hao'er sent people to protect us. They are the guards of the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace."

"But Mother, is that a dragon?"

The Jiaolong clan is considered the closest to the dragon race among the clans that have transformed into dragons.

Its strength is extremely powerful.

There is a high chance of achieving the fourth realm.

Chu Xiuying nodded: "Yes, it is indeed the Jiaolong clan."

Although she wasn't entirely clear about the power Qin Hao possessed, she had a vague idea of ​​it.

In addition to his vigorous development in Qinghe Bay, Qin Hao has also not given up on Pengze Lake Dragon Palace.

He provided a lot of resources, and the aquatic creatures willing to transform into dragons also vigorously promoted it.

Those who are unwilling to do so and instead cultivate the power of the demon race will suffer the same fate.

Such a dragon race numbers more than double digits.

Now two have arrived, both at the peak of the third realm, with combat power already reaching the fourth realm.

If we include the Crab Generals who secretly followed and protected them, there are as many as three at the fourth realm.

Qin Hao refused to believe that this was not enough.

The others are all teams composed of relatively powerful groups among the aquatic species.

Even if someone mobilizes the army, Chu Xiuying and her group are not without fear.

Moreover, there is also a puppet formation and an army of five-colored warriors that can be summoned at any time.

Even if you pile up hundreds of thousands of five-colored warriors, you'll still be crushed.

People in the Qianyang Realm probably don't know this.

Qin Hao has already crafted hundreds of thousands of five-colored warriors, and he has also had countless universe-level, domain-level, and even world-level warriors from the Devouring Star World raise them for him.

Although each instance involves a small amount of spiritual energy, the number of participants is large.

When you add them all up, it becomes quite substantial.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Hao hasn't yet advanced to the fourth realm, many of these five-colored warriors would have already transformed into the fourth realm.

Time passes minute by minute.

Three days later, the list was published.

As expected, the Crimson Dragon Army was present. Qin Zhenyuan didn't say much and directly instructed his steward to start gathering resources.

In fact, he has plenty of resources in his world ring, enough for his needs.

Half a month later, Qin Zhenyuan led the Crimson Dragon Army to Huzhou.

Meanwhile, in Qinghe Bay.

Qin Hao opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

"This... is the Immortal Soul?"
