#319 - Ruyi Dynasty, Jiang Ruyi
Just as Qin Changqing was gathering momentum, the familiar system notification sounded again.
[Detected that your partner has a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Please choose]
[1. Consume 1 billion years of lifespan to strengthen your partner to a Multi-Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root]
[2. Consume 10 billion years of lifespan to strengthen your partner to an Exotic Spiritual Root]
[...]
Luo Xiangfei still couldn't quite get over her own hurdle, probably because Qin Changqing and Lie Feiyan were together first. The strengthening issue could be discussed later, so he skipped it! The second choice appeared.
[Detected that your partner has a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Please choose]
[1. Consume 10 years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can produce offspring with High-Grade Spiritual Roots]
[2. Consume 100 years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can produce offspring with Top-Grade Spiritual Roots]
[3. Consume 1,000 years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can produce offspring with Earth Spiritual Roots]
[...]
[7. Consume 10 million years of lifespan, which can produce offspring with Low-Grade Immortal Spiritual Roots]
Qin Changqing wouldn't be stingy when it came to his children. Naturally, he would choose the best option. Giving birth to offspring with Immortal Spiritual Roots would also be a form of encouragement for Luo Xiangfei, so he chose 7!
In the following period, Qin Changqing temporarily stayed in the Divine Dream Dynasty, responsible for sowing seeds and strengthening the foundation here.
Lie Huan had taken in many exceptional beauties, allowing Qin Changqing to once again enjoy emperor-like bliss. After these concubines learned of Qin Changqing's abilities, they were overjoyed. Some even secretly sneaked into his room in the middle of the night to offer themselves, not even minding sharing with other concubines.
Qin Changqing could understand this. A mother's status rose with her son's. Since Lie Huan's death, these concubines had become very sensitive beings. If they couldn't demonstrate their value, who would willingly spend resources to support them?

Yong Province, Ruyi Dynasty.
In the main hall, a female cultivator wearing scarlet battle armor with a vermilion mark between her eyebrows sat on the throne, squinting slightly as she looked at the envoy below: "What business does Ding Huai have sending you here?"
This woman was the Empress of the Ruyi Dynasty, Jiang Ruyi, with a third-layer Combination Realm cultivation.
Unlike Lin Huang and Lie Feiyan, this Empress had conquered cities and overthrown dynasties with her own strength to get where she was today. Even many male cultivators were ashamed of her skill and courage.
Jiang Ruyi was not afraid and retorted sharply. If they wanted to destroy her Ruyi Dynasty, they should be prepared for a lose-lose situation! The Ruyi Dynasty was not weak, and including herself, it had four Combination Realm Heavenly Venerates.
Although the two great dynasties were angry, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, if they made a move, it was very likely that they would give the other side an opportunity to take advantage of them. Women were important, but they were not necessities. As emperors, they knew how to make trade-offs.
Looking at the heroic Empress in front of him, the envoy's eyes flashed with greed and amazement. He cupped his hands and said, "The Divine Dream Dynasty has suddenly risen strongly and has been acting restlessly recently. It seems that it also has ideas about the surrounding dynasties. His Majesty asked me to ask if the Ruyi Dynasty has any thoughts of joining forces?"
This person was the envoy of the True Martial Dynasty.
Their True Martial Dynasty was adjacent to the Divine Dream Dynasty. With the Divine Dream Dynasty's swift expansion speed, it was likely that they would attack them next.
So they panicked!
"Join forces? Does your True Martial Dynasty deserve it?"
As soon as these words fell, a young man in a moon-white robe coldly swept over the envoy and said coldly.
This person was Jiang Ruyi's follower, Song Tiangou, a fifth-layer Combination Realm Heavenly Venerate.
The envoy was immediately frightened. He had also heard of this man's reputation. He was violent by nature and might suddenly kill people if he didn't agree with them.
Jiang Ruyi glanced at Song Tiangou, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say much.
This guy had come admiringly at the beginning of the establishment of the Ruyi Dynasty. His origin was a bit mysterious, but his strength was indeed extraordinary. At that time, she was in need of manpower, so she kept him, but this person's style of doing things was not to Jiang Ruyi's liking.
"Join forces?"
Jiang Ruyi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Does Ding Huai mean that he wants to join forces to destroy the Divine Dream Dynasty?"
The envoy nodded and said, "That's exactly what he means!"
Jiang Ruyi sneered and said, "The True Martial Dynasty attacked my Ruyi Dynasty twenty years ago and killed many of my people. Now he wants to join forces with me. Is he dreaming?"
The envoy cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Whether in the secular world or in the cultivation world, there are only eternal interests, not eternal enemies. Now the Divine Dream Dynasty is next to our dynasty, watching us covetously. If our two dynasties do not join forces and wait for the Divine Dream Dynasty to attack and defeat us one by one, it will be too late."
How can others be allowed to snore beside one's bed? With Ding Huai's suspicious personality, even if the Divine Dream Dynasty doesn't attack, he will never allow such a behemoth to lie beside him. He will have sleepless nights.
Jiang Ruyi waved her hand indifferently and said, "Ding Huai is a villain. I disdain to associate with him. Go back and tell him that if the Divine Dream Dynasty attacks, I will deal with it myself!"
"Your Majesty!"
The envoy wanted to say something more, but he was directly slapped away by Song Tiangou, who was next to him, and said indifferently: "Get out!"
If it weren't for the rule in the cultivation world that envoys should not be killed, with the two glances this guy just stole, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the chance to walk out of the hall at all.
"Your Majesty, Ding Huai's worries are not unreasonable. The Divine Dream Dynasty has risen suddenly. I heard that there is a mysterious force behind it. With the strength of our Ruyi Dynasty now, we may not be their opponent!"
A minister came out and advised.
"So what!" Song Tiangou sneered: "If you want to move Empress Ruyi, you have to step over this venerable one's corpse first!"
"..."
The ministers were speechless.
Okay, okay, you are the most loyal and most powerful, okay!
Just as Jiang Ruyi was about to say something, a figure suddenly flew in quickly from outside the door and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Duan Ming from the Divine Dream Dynasty requests an audience!"
"What! Duan Ming?!"
"That famous cold-blooded judge!"
"I heard that Duan Ming is cruel. Many ministers of the Divine Dream Dynasty were executed and their families were exterminated. What is this guy doing here?"
"Could it be that he is here to declare war?"
The ministers immediately began to discuss.
Jiang Ruyi glanced at everyone and shouted: "What are you panicking about! He came alone, am I afraid of him? Let him in!"
Soon, Duan Ming, wearing a black shoulder wrap, strode in and cupped his hands slightly to Jiang Ruyi: "Duan Ming, the supervisor of the Divine Dream Dynasty, pays respects to Her Majesty Ruyi!"
