My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The nurturing of larvae by the insect nest is multifaceted.

This includes the original attributes of the hive, racial traits, and creation traits.

For example, the original attribute of the Void Queen's hive is naturally the spatial attribute of the Void Core.

The Void Queen's true form is a spider, and spiders are characterized by their silk...

As for the "creation attribute," it refers to the characteristics that are suitable for the reproduction and growth of a race.

The defining characteristic of this insect nest is assimilation.

The offspring of the Void Worm Queen are still Jade Spiders, but if the offspring are parasitized in the star apertures of the worm nest...

After being nurtured in the insect nest, the Jade Spider can be endowed with spatial attributes, becoming a Void Jade Spider with spatial attributes.

The Jade Spider clan originally possessed both water and earth attributes, making them highly defensive.

With the addition of spatial attributes, its ability to survive becomes even stronger.

In addition, it can enhance racial characteristics, such as making the spider silk of the offspring more resilient and sharp.

The assimilation characteristic of the Creation attribute is the method used by the Void Queen against the five Insect Kings.

It allows the soul essence of the five insect kings to be perfectly assimilated and combined with the insect eggs.

Naturally, it can also perfectly assimilate the soul essence of other races and combine perfectly with the insect eggs.

In this way, the Void Queen can plunder the geniuses of other races, assimilate them, and turn them into her offspring, thereby enhancing the race's fortune.

All of these need to be nurtured in the star apertures. The higher the level of the insect nest, the more star apertures there are, and the more offspring insects can be nurtured.

For an insect hive to grow, it needs to house offspring insects within the star apertures. These offspring insects absorb external energy to nourish the hive.

The insect nest feeds back its breath, nurturing the offspring.

The more offspring insects there are, the stronger they become, the stronger the race's fortune, and the stronger the insect queen becomes.

Of course, what's most useful to Zhao Xuan is that there's a complete territory within the insect nest.

It is a forest landscape spanning 100,000 li.

In the forest, various plants, animals, and insects form a complete food chain, and the Jade Spider clan is at the top of the entire food chain.

The Jade Spider clan produces a spiritual material called Mysterious Jade Spider Silk, which is exceptionally tough and is an excellent material for crafting magical artifacts such as robes, whips, handkerchiefs, ropes, and nets.

After Zhao Xuan collected the insect nest, he traveled through the void back to Han Kingdom and reunited with Hua Jun.

Two hundred years have passed since Zhao Xuan last summoned them.

Including the time spent in the Western Wilderness and Northern River, the mountain range where the "Burial of Heaven Technique" is located has already consumed more than five hundred years.

In other words, the Zhao army had been in Han state for over five hundred years.

This period has already taken up three-fifths of Zhao Xuan's cultivation time.

It could also be said that Zhao Xuan had been planning for the war of unification for many years.

The war between the seven kingdoms has now fallen into a strange state under Zhao Xuan's covert manipulation, with the main forces and cultivators of the seven kingdoms entering the territory of Han Kingdom.

The other five states originally only entered Han State on a small scale, but one of their armies, after being trapped in Han State, was surrounded by the Zhao State army but was not annihilated.

The country must continuously provide logistical support to ensure the survival of the troops caught in the situation.

Zhao Xuan ordered the Zhao state to besiege the point and attack the reinforcements, and the army that was sending supplies was also left in the Han state.

This cycle continued, and as the number of troops besieged in South Korea increased, the need for logistical supplies grew.

After enough troops were trapped, the five kingdoms intended to give up, so Zhao Xuan changed his strategy.

It provided a route for the armies of the other five countries to farm, enabling the besieged armies to grow their own land and become self-sufficient.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan even had his high-yield grain varieties introduced into the military camps of the five kingdoms, and secretly used methods to transform the land of the Han Kingdom, enabling the five kingdoms to grow more grain.

With enough food, the five countries were relieved of logistical pressures and felt hopeful again, leading to a renewed strategy to occupy Han.

This allowed more troops to enter the country.

After all, in Zhao Xuan's calculations, the other five countries were already struggling to produce enough food, which affected their domestic stability.

We must occupy more and more fertile land. The land of Han Kingdom, after being transformed by Zhao Xuan, is the most fertile land.

Therefore, the other five countries could only continuously enter Han Kingdom.

In a world where destiny reigns supreme, an army is absolutely indispensable.

Once the higher-ups abandon their country's army, they will be abandoned by the fortunes of other nations, and the army's formations will become increasingly difficult to control, making it increasingly difficult for soldiers to advance.

In addition to the imperial laws, the most important matters concerning the family and the state were sacrifices and warfare.

Sacrifice is a ritual, and in addition to the three kinds of sacrificial animals, five kinds of livestock, and five kinds of grains, ritual vessels are the necessities for the sacrifice.

The division of the seven kingdoms in the past determined their eventual unification.

The gold from Qin, the silver from Chu, the copper from Wei, the iron from Qi, and the tin from Yan were used to manufacture ritual objects in Han.

Only then can it be used as a sacrificial offering to communicate with the human race's fortune.

Other grains and animal meat must be carried in ritual vessels made by the Han Kingdom in order to be accepted by the heroic spirits of the human race.

This also means that Han Kingdom can thrive by trading with the six kingdoms without needing to use any other means.

But this also sowed the seeds for the country's downfall today.

Therefore, when Zhao Xuan had the Zhao army blockade Han Kingdom, the other countries were not panicked in the short term. However, as time went on, the inability to worship and communicate with the human race's fortune and to pay homage to the spirits of heroes and gods left the seven kingdoms in a state of panic.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to find a way to intervene in the Korean battlefield.

Even if it consumes a lot of energy, we will not hesitate.

This is also why Zhao Xuan was so certain that he could get the Qin state involved when he was making his plans back then.

The main schools of thought in the Qin state were Legalism and Yin-Yang, followed by Mohism.

The difference is that the Qin state's development of Mohist doctrines mainly focused on mechanical engineering.

The Three Sages of the Mohist School: Heavenly Ghost, Human Knight, and Mechanism.

The Heavenly Ghost, also known as the Heavenly Rule, refers to the trajectory of the Heavenly Way, while the character "ghost" indicates that it is mysterious, elusive, and terrifying like a ghost.

The Mohists believed that landslides, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters all follow the patterns of the universe, and that by summarizing these patterns, one could avoid calamities.

A chivalrous person is someone who acts righteously, protects their home and country, and safeguards the weak.

An organization is essentially a tool for summarizing the trajectory of power operations, enabling it to reduce the need for its use through machinery.

The Mohist school was the mainstream doctrine in the state of Chu, but the Chu people focused more on the concepts of celestial spirits and chivalrous heroes.

The Qin state then secretly took in the Mohist school of mechanical arts.

Moreover, the Qin state also took in a secret branch of the Miscellaneous School.

The Heng family branch of the School of Diplomacy.

The Three Holy Principles of Legalism: Law, Punishment, and Investigation.

The Three Sages of the School of Diplomacy: Vertical, Horizontal, and Dao.

"Vertical" refers to height or elevation, meaning to improve oneself.

"Horizontal" refers to breadth or reach, meaning to unite with others.

The Tao is all-encompassing, meaning that nothing is excluded.

The Three Sacred Paths of Yin-Yang School: Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Supporting the Dragon.

Yin and Yang are about communicating with spirits and deities in the dark, and receiving their protection.

The Five Elements are the laws governing the operation of Heaven and Earth, and all things conform to the rules of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.

"Supporting a dragon" means selecting a person with great fortune and helping them gain a certain status, thereby sharing in their good fortune.

The difference is that each of the twelve families has three sacred paths. Except for the Yin-Yang family, the practitioners of the eleven Qi-Yun families choose one or two to cultivate, and very few are able to cultivate all three sacred paths at the same time.

However, practitioners of the Yin-Yang School generally cultivate all three sacred paths simultaneously.

The Yin-Yang School's method of supporting the dragon only selects one person, and the choice of the dragon to support is not necessarily consistent, so the internal strife within the Yin-Yang School is very serious.

This is why the Yin-Yang school did not become the leading school of thought.

The Yin-Yang School's sacred doctrine of Yin and Yang can communicate with Yin and Yang, and can receive news of disasters in advance, which is why the Mohist school's ideas of Heavenly Ghosts were difficult to penetrate into the Qin state.

The Qin state had strict laws, which naturally did not allow private individuals to represent justice and act as chivalrous heroes, so the Mohist ideas of chivalry were difficult to gain traction in Qin.

Thus, in the later stages of the fierce war between the seven states, the people must have been living in misery, and anti-war sentiment was extremely strong. However, the people of Qin remained very stable, and logistical supplies continued to flow in.

The Yin-Yang school of thought granted legitimacy to the Qin royal family, leading the people to believe that Qin's wars were just wars.

The Yin-Yang school's doctrines also led people to believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, making them consider sacrificing for the country an honorable act.

The laws established by the Legalists ensured that the Qin state would not spiral out of control even during times of war.

The mechanical devices and instruments of the Mohists enabled the Qin state to maintain a stable supply of daily necessities and production materials.

The various secrets mastered by the eclectic school were used by the strategists to win over many generals from other countries.

This allowed the Qin state to grow stronger and stronger in the same wars fought by multiple emperors, ultimately leading to victory.

For Yin-Yang practitioners to communicate with Yin and Yang and invoke spirits, they must constantly perform sacrifices.

The demand for various ritual objects was also the greatest.

According to the Mohist school of thought in the state of Chu, it was necessary to offer sacrifices to the spirits of heaven so that the rules of heaven and earth could be revealed and understood by the Mohists.

This is why the State of Chu, when it was just able to attack the State of Han, rashly entered the fray without even making logistical preparations.

It should be noted that Zhao Mingcheng had been emperor of Zhao for nearly three hundred years, and his control over Zhao had reached its peak.

However, the decision to send troops to Han was still carefully considered, and even Zhao Mingwu, as a military general, was debating whether to send troops.

It was Zhao Xuan who made the final decision and took on the logistical burden, which allowed the Zhao Kingdom to send troops to the Han Kingdom in a timely manner.

However, the State of Chu, lacking a figure like Zhao Xuan, launched its military campaign at almost the same time as the State of Zhao.

This demonstrates the importance of occupying the Han state to the Chu state.

As for the Qin state, Zhao Xuan knew that the Qin state would definitely get involved as well.

However, there were several states between Qin and Han, and crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains was practically impossible for an army.

Therefore, the Qin state not only had to participate, but also had to disguise itself as being forced into the situation in order to reduce the vigilance of other states.

This is why the Qin state initially displayed greed and profited greatly from the war, which triggered an attack from several other states.

This would also expose their act of harboring Mohists and strategists, thus reducing the importance that Chu and Wei should attach to them.

Because the introduction of foreign doctrines often explains the turmoil within one's own country.

Naturally, the Qin state no longer regarded the Chu and Wei states as powerful enemies.

That's why Qin was allowed to join the battlefield against Han, in order to deplete Zhao's strength.

Qin, naturally, went along with the flow, allowing itself to traverse the territories of Qi and Chu, and enabling its army to smoothly enter Han.

The Qin state schemed against four other states, but could not escape Zhao Xuan's scheme.

Although everyone's path to victory in the Qin Dynasty was different, Zhao Xuan could use his omniscient authority through divine power to know what each country cared about and how to lead them into war.

They also know what the bottom lines of each country are, and gradually cross those bottom lines.

The time is ripe. Over the past two hundred years, the nine members of the Heavenly Stems Squad, excluding Hua Jun, received the Daoist Master's inheritance from Shouyang Mountain and reunited with Hua Jun.

The Burial of Heaven Technique, nourished by the malevolent energy brought by war, was finally born. Although Zhao Xuan did not participate, Hua Jun easily obtained the Burial of Heaven Technique due to his prior planning.

Afterwards, the other six secrets gradually emerged, and by this time, the ten members of the Heavenly Stems team had gathered.

He managed to snatch the Six Secret Techniques from among tens of thousands of Saint Realm cultivators.

Of course, the Seven Secrets are not written books or anything else, but rather a collection of Taoist principles.

Each cluster of Daoist essence can be comprehended by several people, but the Heavenly Stems Squad only managed to grab a portion and could only comprehend it once or twice.

After the Seven Secrets were born, the calamity aura representing the seven kingdoms had accumulated to a certain degree. The imperial court was about to issue an order for cultivators of god-level or above in the seven kingdoms to go into seclusion or leave Earth.

During this period, the Imperial Court will activate the Seven Stars Severing Fate Array, which will not allow any power fluctuations or profound fluctuations above the Grandmaster level. Violators will be erased by the array.

In short, those above the Divine Realm cannot participate in war in any way.

Because the Divine Realm begins to have an overwhelming effect on lower-level cultivators, if a Grandmaster can defeat a Great Grandmaster because of their own foundation, then a Great Grandmaster is basically unable to defeat a Divine Realm cultivator.

Grandmasters are still using their spiritual sense to fight, only their spiritual sense is more acute, allowing them to sense fluctuations in aura.

The divine realm generates divine sense, which allows one to directly perceive the form of an aura.

Moreover, divine sense is also limited in scope; under the divine realm, sneak attacks and ambushes will not pose a threat to the divine realm.

Once the divine realm intervenes in the mortal battlefield, it will cause enormous losses to the mortal world.

If too many people die in a war, it will affect the accumulation of fortune after the war of unification, resulting in insufficient fortune.

Zhao Xuan's clone is still being nurtured and is not yet ready to be born.

After all, Zhao Xuan condensed his physical body and his manifested body.

The physical body is the body born and nurtured by one's parents, so the first birth must be through the gestation of parents, born from moisture and an egg, in order to bear the karmic consequences.

Otherwise, it's just like any other puppet clone.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan's reincarnation must wait until the second incarnation of Zhao Xiong and his wife is born, and then they will continue their previous relationship and be reborn through their union.

Inheriting the karma of the three people from their previous lives, they experience the joys of parental love, filial piety, and human relationships.

Once the mortal body is born, marries, has children, and the children grow up, then the condensation is considered complete.

Then comes the responsive body that continues into the reward body, bearing the consequences that follow.

One must experience death to truly understand life; only death can provide a definitive conclusion, allowing others to judge right and wrong.

If one commits a major offense, being condemned by thousands, one's karma can be solidified.

If one has achieved great feats and is remembered by others, one can condense a golden body.

If one performs great deeds, they will be recorded in history books, and their merits will be embodied.

If one possesses great virtue, one will be revered by thousands, and one can cultivate a virtuous character.

In other words, the reward body, the response body, the karmic body, the golden body, the merit body, and the virtue body are all one.

Only when the main body is formed in the correct way can other avatars be formed.

The Dharmakaya, the Elephant Body, and the Dao Body are forms that practitioners can condense themselves according to their own understanding of the Dao.

The so-called Dharmakaya is the ability to transform into a giant's body. In addition to being used as a special combat form, it can also be used to better comprehend the profound mysteries of Tao.
