Chapter 1263 Chapter 547: The Great Cataclysm Is About to Begin!

Upon hearing Zhao Feng's explanation, Ying Zheng's tense expression gradually eased, and the worry in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of relief.

After all, Ying Zheng valued his eldest grandson greatly. While he was quite fond of Zhao Wu, the significance of the eldest son in the imperial family was irreplaceable.

Even though Qin had already reached the status of the Heavenly Court, Ying Zheng still remembered this significance.

"Since you've arranged everything, I'm relieved." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and naturally did not inquire further about the matter.

"However, Ling'er is still within the Qin Realm, isn't she?"

Ying Zheng shifted the topic, his eyes showing a trace of affection: "How do you plan to arrange her future?"

Recalling his eldest grandson, he naturally immediately thought of Zhao Ling.

By Ying Zheng's reckoning, it had been many years since he last saw his granddaughter.

"The Qin Realm has limitless potential, I plan to let Ling'er follow the Primordial path."

"Of course, if she wishes to become a Saint, the Qin Realm is sure to assist her greatly." Zhao Feng's lips curled into a smile, his eyes full of expectations for his three legitimate children's futures.

"In any case, Feng'er." Ying Zheng's expression became serious, displaying a stern demeanor: "I don't bother with your other children born of concubines, but the legitimate ones must be well-managed."

"Their paths must be properly arranged."

Zhao Feng maintained his smile, nodding in agreement: "Father, rest assured."

Just then!

"The Heir has arrived!"

An announcement rang out from outside, echoing through the vast Heavenly Palace.

Zhao Qi strode in, full of spirit as he entered the Heavenly Palace, his face radiant with excitement, his steps light as if he were in for a great celebration.

"Father." Zhao Qi's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing Zhao Feng, shouting loudly, "You have returned."

"Grandson greets grandfather."

Immediately after, Zhao Qi turned, respectfully bowing to Ying Zheng, then faced Zhao Feng: "Son greets father."

Zhao Feng raised his hand, gesturing to waive the ceremony, his face bearing a gentle smile, asking, "Qi'er, what makes you so happy?"

"Father, it's good news!"

Zhao Qi couldn't contain his excitement, his voice involuntarily rising a few notches: "The islands of the East Sea have all been pacified by Qin."

"Now, the vast East Sea is all under Qin Territory, and the boundless Eastern Sea Water Clan will become Qin citizens."

"Although the Eastern Continent is vast, the East Sea is wider, and the Water Clan's numbers are even greater than those of the continent's inhabitants. However, they do not possess the profound Qi Fortune like the Human Race."

Upon hearing this.

"Did you encounter much resistance?" Ying Zheng smiled and asked.

The matter of conquering the East Sea was entirely left to Zhao Qi, and Wang Jian's reports were directly submitted to Zhao Qi.

Only if there was something Zhao Qi couldn't handle, would it be reported to him.

The entire Qin Heavenly Court now operates in this manner, with Ying Zheng presiding over the Heavenly Palace, and the Heir Zhao Qi overseeing the governance, truly controlling Qin's operations.

Only Qin could grant such authority, for the Crown Prince of Qin, Zhao Feng, is solely focused on pursuing cultivation talents, uninterested in governance, while Ying Zheng fully trusts Zhao Qi, confidently delegating power.

"On the islands of the East Sea, many cultivators claiming to be kings resisted."

Zhao Qi adopted a serious demeanor, speaking methodically: "However, faced with the mighty force of the Daqin Elite Soldiers, they simply couldn't withstand."

"Additionally, there were some former Evil Cultivators who fled from the Eastern Continent long ago. They fiercely resisted Qin's army, some fleeing southward to the Nan Zhanbu Continent, while others escaped to different places."

"The East Sea is extremely vast, Qin initially conquered numerous large islands, and is now dividing forces to eliminate the Cannibal Demons and troublemaking demons."

"Currently, the overall situation is essentially settled, but to completely sweep the East Sea, it will take several decades, as the East Sea is more expansive than the Divine Continent."

Zhao Qi was well-informed of these matters, reporting clearly, fully demonstrating his responsibilities as the Heir.

After all, these matters were handled personally by him.

Listening to Zhao Qi's report.

"Qi'er, you've done well."

Zhao Feng nodded approvingly, his eyes filled with recognition: "Controlling all the major islands of the East Sea, Qin can then incorporate the East Sea's Qi Fortune into Qin's Heavenly Fortune, and then establish the Nine Provinces Barrier, swiftly eliminating all demons."

Zhao Feng understood the importance of the Nine Provinces Barrier well. The reason the Eastern Continent could be pacified by Qin, those Evil Cultivators had nowhere to hide, was ultimately because of the Nine Provinces Barrier.

The Nine Provinces Barrier is a divine artifact of the Human Race, within the range of the Nine Provinces Barrier, without incorporating the Qi Fortune into the Qin Heavenly Court, one's location could easily be pinpointed.

Moreover, once the Nine Provinces Barrier is formed, there is nowhere to hide unless one escapes the Barrier.

This is the foundation of the Qin Heavenly Court, even when the Heavenly Court ruled the Eastern Continent, it couldn't fully control it. But Qin did it easily, the power of the Nine Provinces Barrier is unimaginable.

As long as it is Qin Territory, it signifies absolute control.

"This is the rule set by grandfather and father in the past." Zhao Qi smiled humbly: "I'm merely applying what I've learned."

"In any case, you may handle the matters on the East Sea yourself." Ying Zheng spoke with a smile, his eyes showing absolute trust and esteem for Zhao Qi: "No need to report every matter to me and your father."

"Grandson understands." Zhao Qi immediately nodded, his gaze firm, evidently confident in the responsibility he bore.

As the Great Qin Heir, holding the highest position in Qin.
