Chapter 692: Joining the Huaxia Empire

Originally, Lin Qian was indeed prepared to endure the pain brought by the Earth Spirit Heart Flame, as Fire Granny had made it very clear before the start that the process would be extremely painful. Furthermore, when Yuan Xiang first entered the Saint Realm here, he only managed to hold out for seven days.

Thus, Lin Qian was fully prepared, and within the Huaxia Empire, Zhuge Ming and the others were on high alert, ready to handle any unexpected situations that might arise.

However, to everyone's astonishment, Lin Qian not only felt no pain at all but was actually extremely comfortable, which puzzled Zhuge Ming greatly.

Zhuge Ming, within the Hall of Heavenly Crafts, carefully observed the tactical mirrors in front of him, which detailed all aspects of His Majesty's condition. The data presented showed no issues; His Majesty's body indeed exhibited no signs of pain.

Currently, only Lin Qian knew the true sensations he was experiencing.

The most relaxing aspect for him was the soul within his mind. Originally, Lin Qian's soul was extremely fatigued from battling the undead army, having activated the national battle mode, which was very taxing on the mind.

But the Earth Spirit Heart Flame completely eased his fatigue.

Moreover, Lin Qian discovered an even more interesting effect of the Earth Spirit Heart Flame. In his two lifetimes, although his soul was quite harmonious, there were still minor imperfections. These imperfections were so subtle that they could hardly be detected without careful observation.

To Lin Qian's surprise, the Earth Spirit Heart Flame was able to repair these minute flaws in his soul accumulated over two lifetimes.

Despite these flaws being minor, their repair brought Lin Qian benefits that were a hundredfold or more.

Lin Qian also noticed that under the baptism of the Earth Spirit Heart Flame, his cultivation speed significantly increased. The concentration of spiritual energy in this space was also the densest in the Soul Martial Continent.

Thus, Lin Qian decided to start cultivating at this location, aiming to break through to the Saint Realm in one go.

Lin Qian believed that once he reached the Saint Realm, even if the undead army's strength increased, his chances of victory would be much greater.

With this in mind, Lin Qian was even more invigorated and soon immersed himself in the cultivation state, accepting the baptism of the Earth Spirit Heart Flame while also working on his breakthrough.

As for the Soul Martial Continent, Lin Qian believed that Ye Xin would manage things well, so he didn't need to worry much.

In this small space, Lin Qian quietly cultivated, and a seal gradually began to appear and take shape in his sea of consciousness.

At the same time, Fire Granny’s forehead also bore a red-gold pattern. Once the seal inside Lin Qian and the golden mark on Fire Granny’s forehead were completed, the Soul Martial Continent would be entirely under his control.

The Earth Spirit Fire Granny of the Soul Martial Continent would also become Lin Qian’s subordinate.

Lin Qian’s aura continued to rise, heading towards the Saint Realm.

While Lin Qian was engaged in cultivation and accepting Fire Granny’s recognition, his disciple, Tongzi Xuan, began his own actions, sweeping through the Chaotic Star Sea.

With the help of the imperial army and the war beast army of the Huaxia Empire, Tongzi Xuan's army swept through the Chaotic Star Sea with overwhelming force, and no faction could withstand the iron hoof of the Huaxia Empire.

However, rather than leading the army, Tongzi Xuan was learning from it. He had heard of the Huaxia Empire's formidable combat strength, and only after participating in the Empire's military campaigns did he understand why their combat power was so immense.

He deeply felt the charm of the tremendous power derived from their tacit cooperation and, after experiencing all this, Tongzi Xuan became more immersed in learning how to harness this power.

In the future, if he were to lead the Huaxia Empire’s army, he needed to understand how to maximize the strength of this fierce and formidable force. He also needed to learn how to utilize this concept with his own subordinates and other Soul Warriors, and across various races, to achieve the greatest strength in battle alongside the Empire.

After conquering the Chaotic Star Sea, Tongzi Xuan also met his master’s wife, the Empress of the Huaxia Empire.

Everyone knew that the Benevolent Emperor Wu was in seclusion, so all imperial matters were managed by the Empress. Therefore, the establishment of the Star Sea State and awarding of honors to Tongzi Xuan were entrusted to Ye Xin.

"I didn’t expect that the kid from back then has grown up so much," Ye Xin said after awarding honors, looking at Tongzi Xuan and nodding to herself. "So, how is it? Are there any young ladies you fancy? Do you need me to introduce you to one?"

Ye Xin, who had guided Tongzi Xuan, teased him with a smile, thinking of Cui Yu.

Tongzi Xuan, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head. In front of Ye Xin, he still felt like a child. "If it’s Mistress’ order, how could I dare to disobey?"

"Very well, your master has taken a good disciple. Don’t let me down. When your master emerges from seclusion, make sure he gets the tea you’ve prepared," Ye Xin said with a smile. Tongzi Xuan, having lost his parents, regarded Lin Qian as his guardian. If he married, it would be customary to serve Lin Qian’s tea.

As Ye Xin left, she also thought to herself, “I wonder if Cui Yu would take a liking to this Tongzi Xuan.”

However, soon after, Ye Xin’s expression became worried. A whole year had passed since Lin Qian disappeared, and there had been no news of him.

The Huaxia Empire remained relatively stable; to them, their Majesty was merely in seclusion. Only Ye Xin knew that Lin Qian was missing.

While Ye Xin was anxious about Lin Qian’s whereabouts, the situation in the Soul Martial Continent was undergoing a massive change.

In summary, the human race was submitting.

The strength of the Huaxia Empire made everyone submit willingly, and they also sent troops to deal with the attacks from the eastern and western regions, leading the Yuan family to defend the northern domain.

The Yuan family, who guarded their clan, had also joined the Huaxia Empire, and the Huaxia Empire was the only power that had not suffered heavy losses under the undead army’s attacks.

Given this, why would others not join the Huaxia Empire as well?

Immediately, a wave of joining the Huaxia Empire surged across the Eastern Great Road.
