"Yi Canglan?"

Upon hearing the name mentioned by Feng Bingwen, the cultivators were taken aback, but one of them quickly realized what was going on and asked,

"You mean the Sunset God, Master Yi?"

"Sunset God?"

Upon hearing this title, Feng Bingwen immediately laughed. This person was most likely a descendant of an ancient deity whom he had recently met. Apart from him, there were few others among the human race who were worthy of this title.

"How impressive!"

"Are you a cultivator of the Supreme Dao?"

Among the cultivators in this group, the only female cultivator couldn't wait to ask the question the moment Feng Bingwen finished speaking. Her eyes shone brightly, and two rosy blushes appeared on her cheeks, showing that she was quite excited.

"yes."

Feng Bingwen wore a green robe, his hair was tied up with a feather crown, and he held a jade seal in his hand. Although he did not have an amazing appearance, he had a natural flow of Daoist energy that made people not dare to underestimate him.

"Senior, are you also going to answer the call of the Sunset God and challenge the royal bloodline of the alien race?"

The other cultivators weren't much better off than the female cultivator. Cultivators of the Supreme Dao were even rarer than divine beasts, and they never expected to encounter one today.

"response?"

Feng Bingwen chuckled lightly.

"This matter was discussed and decided by Brother Yi."

"So that's how it is... I'd like to inform you, senior. The Sunset God is currently in Xianyang City of the Great Qin Dynasty. I heard that he is preparing to invite an imperial prince, and many human prodigies are currently heading there."

After revealing his identity, Feng Bingwen quickly obtained the information he needed, but this also meant that he had made another wasted trip, because Xue Qin was not in Nanzhanzhou, but in Beimingzhou.

Even though they are separated by a continent, the fact that ordinary cultivators can know about this matter shows that Yi Canglan has made a huge fuss about it, to the point that it is no exaggeration to say that it has attracted worldwide attention.

Of course, this only applies to the cultivation world. If you were to ask ordinary people, they would certainly know nothing.

"Beimingzhou!"

With a thought, Feng Bingwen's jade seal, held in his hand, suddenly shone with extraordinary brilliance. A beam of light tore through the sky and enveloped him once more. In an instant, he vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the arriving cultivators and the patrolling cultivators who looked at each other in bewilderment.

"As expected of the Supreme Daoist Sect, they are truly extraordinary!"

Looking at the empty space before him, the oldest-looking cultivator couldn't help but sigh.

"This senior has already left?"

The only female cultivator was somewhat incredulous, her eyes filled with regret. She had encountered a cultivator from the Supreme Dao, but after exchanging only one sentence with him, he left.

"Hmm, they're probably heading to the Northern Sea Continent. They might have arrived by now."

"So fast?"

Several slightly younger cultivators exclaimed in unison. They came from the same sect, whose mountain gate was guarded by immortals. It was one of the top Taoist sects in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles.

Even the strongest sect leader and several elders in their sect have to pay a considerable price to travel to another continent by taking a ride on the Boundary Continent.

"That's the Supreme Dao! I've heard that disciples of the Supreme Dao can appear anywhere in the human realm at any time if they wish!"

The older cultivator recounted the rumors he had heard to the younger cultivators, captivating those who had initially looked down on him.

"Senior Brother Hao is knowledgeable and has a remarkable memory!"

When news of the appearance of the Supreme Dao disciples spread throughout Nanzhanzhou, Feng Bingwen had already entered Beimingzhou, just as the patrolling cultivators had guessed, though the situation was slightly different.

"Which sect or school are you a disciple of? What position do you hold in your sect?"

Spears stood like a forest, black armor gleamed coldly, and tall, robust soldiers stood in a row, like an insurmountable Great Wall, inspiring awe. In front of them stood a clerk in armor, holding a pen and a sword, his face solemn.

"I am a disciple of the Supreme Dao!"

Feng Bingwen glanced around at the surroundings out of the corner of his eye, then replied that his divine sense was suppressed to the point that it could not leave his body, as a magic array that prohibited divine sense was set up here.

If the army formation in front of him, exuding a menacing aura, hadn't done nothing wrong and shown no ill will towards him, Feng Bingwen would have already returned to the mountain gate by the same route.

He never imagined that he would be teleported to this place when he had only entered the Northern Underworld through the magic array set up at the mountain gate. Although he was randomly teleported when he went to a continent he had never been to before, his luck was just too bad. However, something seemed wrong with the scene before him.

"The Supreme Dao?"

Upon hearing Feng Bingwen announce the sect, the scholar who was taking notes looked up at him. A slight change appeared on his chiseled, weathered face, but he quickly returned to his expressionless demeanor, showing no further reaction.

"Name?"

"..."

Feng Bingwen remained silent for a moment, the scene before him giving him a strange sense of déjà vu.

"Feng Bingwen!"

What position do you hold in the Supreme Dao?

"Daozi!"

Feng Bingwen answered truthfully, but this answer made the clerk standing in front of him, who was recording the information, pause, look up at him, and lose his previous calm.

"Daozi?"

"Yes."

"..."

The clerk fell silent.

"Can you be sure that every word you say is true? If you dare to deceive me, no matter which faction you come from, you will be punished according to the laws of the Great Qin!"

"I am the Supreme Daoist Master. If you do not believe me, you may send a letter to my sect to inquire!"

Feng Bingwen remained calm. Since he was in completely unfamiliar territory, he naturally didn't need to play the white dragon fish disguise game. He would use whatever identity was most useful.

"Please wait a moment, Master Taishang. This is of great importance, and I need to report to my superiors!"

The clerk in charge of questioning and recording spoke much more politely, but after finishing, he didn't wait for Feng Bingwen's reaction. Instead, he turned and left the stone forest. However, he didn't keep Feng Bingwen waiting long; he reappeared before him in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Feng Daozi, may I ask what you intend to do upon entering my Great Qin? To travel? To visit friends?"

"Looking for friends."

Hearing this, Feng Bingwen was basically able to confirm what the group of people in front of him were doing. He also roughly understood why he had appeared here through the teleportation array in the mountain gate and why he had been caught questioning.

"If it's possible, could you please tell me who your friend is?"

"Yi Canglan!"

Feng Bingwen replied without hesitation,

“I heard that my good friend is currently in Xianyang, so I came here specifically to find him.”

"Hmm, I've noted it down. How long does Feng Daozi intend to stay in the Great Qin?"

"How long? I really can't say for sure."

"Just give us a timeframe. We need the time limit to make a temporary household registration card for you. Without it, even if you bypass me, you will find it difficult to move an inch in the Great Qin."

"One year."

"good!"

The armored civil official took careful notes, while also informing Feng Bingwen.

"The production of the temporary household registration card will take some time, but due to your special status, the estimated time should not be too long. Please wait a moment."

"good."

Feng Bingwen is perfectly acceptable.

"You may move freely in this stone forest, but you must not step out of this place before your temporary household registration is issued. Otherwise, you will be considered to have entered the territory without authorization, and even if you are a Taoist master, you will be held accountable!"

"Thank you for letting me know!"

"It's my duty."

The strange encounter piqued Feng Bingwen's interest. The Blood Qin Empire was the human nation with the largest territory and the strongest power. Its strength was not to be underestimated, and neither the Taoist sect nor the Buddhist sect dared to take it lightly.

Buzz—

Brilliant starlight shone in the distance, the void cracked open, and a terrifying figure stepped out from it. But soon, amidst the sound of crossbow bolts being nocked, the figure in the air quickly restrained its aura, obediently landing down, not daring to make the slightest move.

"Human Immortal?"

Feng Bingwen turned and walked towards the spot where the figure had landed. He then saw a familiar scene: a civil official in armor, holding a vermilion pen, was questioning an immortal whose face was obscured and who was surrounded by starlight.

And this immortal, just like before, showed no impatience in the face of the questions, but answered them truthfully one by one, even though the person standing in front of him was a weak civil official who could be sent into reincarnation with a single slap.

"The Way of the Stars!"

Feng Bingwen, who had come to see the novelty, quickly learned which sect this immortal came from. As he was sizing him up, the immortal also noticed him, but was busy responding to the questions from the Qin officials and could not pay attention to him for the time being.

Rumble—

Just as Feng Bingwen was having some fun, a thunderous roar sounded in the sky. He looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a war chariot being dragged by four ferocious beasts roaring towards them from the horizon, sparks flying and lightning flashing all the way. Its momentum was astonishing.

Soon, the chariot stopped above the stone forest, and then a heavily armored general, nearly ten feet tall, appeared in the air. His blazing blood formed a sun wheel behind him, unbearably hot and oppressive.

Just then, the immortal from the Starry Sky Path finished his questioning. The immortal looked at the general with remarkable martial arts cultivation above him, glanced at Feng Bingwen, and moved to go over and communicate with him.

But he quickly stopped, because he noticed that the Qin general who had rushed over was not looking at him, but rather at the young Taoist not far away.

What happened next was completely unexpected. The Qin general didn't even glance at him. Instead, he landed in front of the boy, his face, filled with a fierce and ruthless aura, forced a stiff smile. Although the smile was ugly, the goodwill he expressed was all too obvious.

"Tai Shang Daozi?"

The general and the boy made no attempt to conceal their conversation, which was naturally overheard by the observant Star Daoist Immortal. He then uttered a slightly puzzled sound.

"I remember that the current Daoist Master of the Supreme Dao is Zhao Junxian!"

"It is indeed my master, but my master has already transcended the tribulation and achieved the Dongxuan Human Immortal Realm. I am of dull talent, but fortunately, many fellow disciples have been kind enough to grant me this position."

Upon hearing the immortal's question, Feng Bingwen turned and smiled at him before replying humbly.

Of course, Feng Bingwen was truly humble at this moment. He felt that his position as the Daoist was not quite right, but in the eyes of the Great Qin General and the Star Dao Immortal, it was clearly a matter of modesty.

After all, in the eyes of these two, although Feng Bingwen was only at the Yuan Dan realm, his aura was pure and long-lasting, clearly indicating that he had received the true teachings of the Daoist sect and was a genuine immortal seed.

"Zhao Junxian has already transcended the tribulation? That's too fast."

Upon learning from Feng Bingwen that the previous Daoist of the Supreme Dao had become a Human Immortal, the Star Constellation Human Immortal was quite moved.

"When I first met your master, he was only at the Transcendent Realm. He addressed me as 'Senior.' Now, if I were to meet him, I could only address him as 'Fellow Daoist.' In a few more years, I'm afraid I'll have to pay my respects to him as his disciple."

"You flatter me, senior!"

"It was just a spontaneous remark, my dear nephew, please don't take it to heart."

Upon learning Feng Bingwen's identity, this suddenly appearing immortal spoke in an extremely amiable tone, showing no arrogance despite being a whole realm higher than Feng Bingwen; his tone was even more intimate.

"Your master is now at the same cultivation level as me, so I will shamelessly consider myself your senior uncle and address you as my nephew. I hope you won't find that offensive!"

How could that be?

Feng Bingwen also appeared very polite. The Daoist of Xingxiu Dao had also been defeated by the half-demon of the Golden Crow Clan. In his plan, he also wanted to bring this Daoist along. And since this Daoist had followed, the human immortal in front of him might also be one of the protectors.

"I wonder what brings you to Qin, my dear nephew? If you need anything, I have some connections in Qin that can help you. Please don't stand on ceremony with me."

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle-Master, but I am currently not lacking anything in my cultivation. I am only here to visit a friend and lend him a hand!"

"May I ask who your friend is, my nephew?"

"Yi Canglan!"

"A descendant of ancient gods, is my nephew also going to get involved in this matter?"

The starlight covering the face of the Star Daoist Immortal trembled for a moment, then revealed an ordinary face.

"This matter was discussed by Brother Yi and me. Since I have a part to it, I should naturally participate."

Feng Bingwen smiled.

"So that's what it was... Never mind, what's the point of saying all this now? I have a good-for-nothing son who recently became a disciple of the sect by sheer luck, but he was defeated by the Golden Crow half-demon. He plans to wash away his shame with demon blood and will be traveling with his nephew."

Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, the immortal surrounded by starlight had several changes in expression, but eventually his expression calmed down, even revealing a pleading look.

"Nephew, could you please keep an eye on things for me?"

"Senior is too kind. Xingxiu Daozi is a rare genius among humans, one in ten thousand."

Feng Bingwen was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the immortal in front of him was the father of Xingxiu Daozi. However, upon closer reflection, his appearance here was not surprising.

"Nephew, you think too highly of him. He's just a... humph!"

He wanted to say a few words about his offspring, but after glancing at the Qin general beside him, the Star Daoist immortal remained silent.

"Supreme Daoist, this is your temporary identity token. Please keep it close to your body and do not lose it. If you lose it, please replace it as soon as possible."

Sword Comes

The civil official who had been inquiring rushed over and handed a uniquely shaped jade talisman to Feng Bingwen. He didn't look at the immortal beside him, nor did he pay his respects to the general beside him, whose aura was as strong as a furnace. He simply gave Feng Bingwen instructions in a serious and methodical manner.

"As per your request, you may stay in the territory of the Great Qin for one year. During this year, you may move freely without violating the laws of the Great Qin. After the expiration, please leave the territory on your own. If you have any special needs, you may submit an application to the nearest government office to request an extension of your stay and explain the reasons!"

"I've got it!"

"No, you haven't. Before officially entering the country, you must memorize the entire Qin law. If you violate any of its provisions, regardless of your status, Qin has the right to punish you according to the law!"

"So, where are the laws of Qin? Where can I learn about them?"

"You can check it on your temporary ID card, but I personally suggest you memorize the whole thing."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me!"

Feng Bingwen didn't take it seriously at first, after all, he was already a Yuan Dan cultivator, and having a photographic memory was just a basic skill.

However, after he probed the temporary identity talisman with his divine sense and read through a portion of it, his brows furrowed tightly.

This was the most comprehensive and stringent law he had ever seen, which stipulated everything about the words and deeds of all legal residents within the Qin territory, from the smallest details like clothing and hairstyles to the largest aspects like food and daily life.

Even cultivators cannot be treated specially; in fact, the laws governing cultivators are stricter than those governing mortals. For example, there are strict regulations on the altitude and speed at which cultivators of different realms can fly through the sky, and even the color of their escape light is subject to requirements.

"Hehe, my dear nephew, this is your first time seeing the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. It is the most comprehensive law in history. You may find it a little difficult to get used to at first, but once you get used to it, you will discover its wonders."

Looking at Feng Bingwen's expression, the Starry Sky Immortal could guess what he was thinking. It was probably not much different from what he had been thinking back then.

"Impeccable law!"

After quickly glancing through the Qin law, Feng Bingwen sighed sincerely. At first glance, this law was suffocating because it governed so much, even specifying which way to walk.

However, upon closer examination, one can discover the tenderness hidden beneath what is arguably the most stringent law in history.

Because the Qin law stipulates that any cultivator who harms a mortal, regardless of the reason, must bear some responsibility. If a cultivator relies on their strength to wantonly slaughter and bully mortals, regardless of their status, they will be executed according to the Qin law!

If this law were to be truly implemented, then Beimingzhou would undoubtedly be the most suitable country for mortals to thrive and multiply, because all forces beyond the reach of mortals would be bound by a strong legal net, making Qin the safest place in the world for ordinary people.

"Nephew, don't worry. Although those rules and regulations are a bit cumbersome, as long as you follow the legal provisions, no one will cause you any trouble!"

As a seasoned veteran who had entered the Qin Dynasty multiple times, the immortal of Xingxiu Dao tried to appease Feng Bingwen, but Feng Bingwen's acceptance of this was far greater than he had imagined.

He generally wouldn't violate the various punishments imposed on cultivators by the Qin laws. The only punishment was the requirement for speed at different cultivation levels, but this wasn't unacceptable to Feng Bingwen; in fact, he was quite familiar with it.

"What trouble are you looking for? Nephew, you're heading to Xianyang, so I can drive you there!"

At this moment, the Qin general, who had been standing silently by and letting the Starry Sky Immortal perform, finally spoke up.

"I possess a magic boat that can traverse thousands of feet!"

"Ha, I am the General Who Guards the Pass of the Great Qin. Under special circumstances, I can travel to Xianyang in the shortest possible time!"

"Using public resources for private gain, General, aren't you afraid of being punished according to Qin law?"

"Then do you know what crime false accusation is?"

An immortal and a general were arguing in front of Feng Bingwen about who should escort him to Xianyang.

Seeing this scene, Feng Bingwen, while acknowledging the significance of the Supreme Daoist Master's status, also spoke up to stop the conflict.

"Seniors, this is my first time entering the Qin Dynasty. I am not in a hurry to go to Xianyang. Thank you for your kindness, but I would like to travel along the way, see the sights, broaden my horizons, and temper my character."

"That's fine too."

"I won't bother you any longer, my dear nephew. See you in Xianyang!"

The two immediately stopped arguing, said a few words to Feng Bingwen, and then left.

Feng Bingwen watched them leave, then slowly prepared to step out of the stone forest. However, just before he was about to leave, the civil official who had previously approved his identity jade token approached him again and reminded him of something.

"Daozi, General Wang has no direct relationship with us, which is why I did not greet him earlier!"

"General Wang?"

Feng Bingwen paused and turned around abruptly. He had thought that the Qin general was in charge of this entry point, but it turned out that the general had nothing to do with this place. He had rushed over as soon as he heard the news of Feng Bingwen's arrival.

"Michiko, you can set off now!"

The civil official smiled but did not answer, and Feng Bingwen did not press the matter further. Some questions did not need to be explored in depth; a little thought would reveal the answer, and this brief remark was sufficient.

Afterwards, Feng Bingwen left the entry checkpoint and officially entered the territory of the Great Qin. Just as he himself said, he traveled and looked around. When he flew in the sky, he would land in every major city he encountered and visit it to experience the uniqueness of the only unified continent in the human race.

However, after traveling through dozens of large cities, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but marvel at how the inhabitants of these cities, apart from slight differences in food due to local produce, were almost identical in terms of language, writing, hairstyles, clothing, and customs.

The people of Qin, even when traveling thousands of miles away, need not worry about language barriers. Of course, this is not the most important point. The most important point is that Feng Bingwen discovered that there wasn't a single deity worshipped within the entire Qin Kingdom.

The Great Qin Dynasty did not worship gods!

This was the most surprising thing for Feng Bingwen. He had traveled thousands of miles and had not seen a single deity, only occasionally finding some extremely ancient deities in some mountains and marshes.

He visited some of the gods and learned an extremely shocking piece of information: the Qin Dynasty had once massacred the gods, and the remaining gods were basically all closely related to the ancient sages of the human race, while the gods who had no connection with them were all slaughtered.
