Chapter 1682: Chapter 1681: What Exactly Are the National Stabilization Regulations?
Forget it.
The matter has come to this, and there’s no way to verify it.
The task now is to face the forthcoming catastrophe and strive to meet her again, to ask her clearly!
Qin Feng emerged from the hot spring pool, standing by the cliff, gazing at the ruins of Lake City. He sighed deeply, having lived here for so many years, now the entire city has completely collapsed—truly worrying.
"The one good aspect is that this city is now mine."
Qin Feng said.
If it weren’t for the impending appearance of Xumi Land in Lake City, they wouldn’t have agreed to let him spend money to buy the entire land of Lake City.
Now the war is over.
Although Lake City has become a wasteland, the entire land belongs to him.
He could completely rebuild Lake City as per his vision, turning it into his back garden.
Moreover.
The aura of Ziwei Heavenly Fortune Land at Emperor Villa has been fully activated, and the drifting aura around makes the air in Lake City extraordinarily fresh, turning this place into an exceptional cultivation site with abundant spiritual energy.
Even those who don’t cultivate can have their bodies strengthened over time, nourished by the Ziwei Heavenly Fortune Qi.
Just like the Upper Realm.
It’s indeed true that Lake City now resembles a corner of the Upper Realm.
...
After breakfast, Qin Feng called Yin Chuan over and asked, "How are our injuries now?"
"Most are seriously injured; all facilities in Lake City have been destroyed. Currently, treatment and recovery have been transferred to Five Rings Mountain," Yin Chuan said.
"Okay, accompany me to Five Rings Mountain then!" Qin Feng said.
The two arrived at the transmission array under the Begonia Tree in the backyard of Emperor Villa. Qin Feng suddenly remembered something, pointed at the ruins of Lake City, and asked Yin Chuan, "What do you think the future holds for Lake City?"
"Didn’t Lake City already become yours? Isn’t it all up to you? You can build whatever you want," Yin Chuan said.
"Nonsense."
Qin Feng glared at him, then continued, "I mean, rebuilding a city will require a lot of money, right? Who’s going to pay for that?"
"Um..."
Yin Chuan sensed Qin Feng’s thoughts and said in frustration, "We all know you’re our savior, you saved Hua Country. But you also know, the higher-ups are out of funds. All these years, they’ve been investing in the Yanhuang Department... You also have a Spirit Gathering Array, don’t you..."
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless, "Ah, you’re all just out to take advantage of me!"
Yin Chuan awkwardly scratched his head and laughed a couple of times.
No choice.
He’s a hero; his place was ruined, so compensation should be given.
But currently, the higher-ups have no money.
The funds in the treasury might even be less than Qin Feng’s pocket change; if they weren’t too embarrassed to ask, they’d even want to borrow some money from Qin Feng...
"By the way, after this battle at Lake City, your ’National Stabilization Regulations’ will surely be approved soon, you just need to wait," Yin Chuan said.
Thinking at least there’s some good news, otherwise, it would be truly embarrassing.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn’t you say it was already applied for? Why hasn’t it been approved yet?"
"Uh..."
Yin Chuan awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Previously, although you made significant contributions to Hua Country, the criteria for the National Stabilization Regulations were still a bit short, so approval wasn’t guaranteed... But this time is different! This time you defeated the World Alliance; this achievement combined with the previous ones will surely get it approved!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was perplexed, "So, have you been lying to me all along?"
"Not really lying... I’ve always been genuinely trying to get it approved for you; it was just lacking by a tiny margin..." Yin Chuan awkwardly laughed, "Don’t worry, it should be no problem now!"
"..."
Qin Feng was completely speechless and asked further, "By the way, is obtaining the National Stabilization Regulations that difficult? What exactly are they?"
He suddenly recalled the first time meeting Rose Fairy at Kunlun Mountain, where she mentioned the National Stabilization Regulations, and knew that a hundred years ago, the top expert Yan Nantian possessed them, and even gave Qin Feng face at that time. But he couldn’t understand what the National Stabilization Regulations were.
"This... I can’t really explain it clearly, as it feels too distant from me," Yin Chuan said, "You just need to know three things. First, throughout all these years in Hua Country, only two people have ever had the National Stabilization Regulations: one was a Great Power from centuries ago, and the other was Yan Nantian from a hundred years ago."
"We’ve had many heroes emerge in Hua Country over the years, including the Four Great War Gods, who’ve had heroic histories full of praise, and people like Qi Ling Deputy Director from Yanhuang Department, Director Long Dragon, etc.; each risked their lives to make significant contributions."
"But none have obtained the National Stabilization Regulations."
"That alone should give you an idea of how difficult it is to obtain the National Stabilization Regulations."
Qin Feng nodded, "Indeed, considering this, it does seem so."
"Let’s move on to the second point."
Yin Chuan said, "You should have a rough idea about the National Soul, right!"
"Of course, incredibly powerful," Qin Feng said.
Although he’s never seen the National Soul or knows what it looks like.
But from several aspects, it seems extremely potent.
Firstly, for the National Soul, many people risked their lives, hoping to take advantage of the world’s chaos to wage war, forcing Hua Country to hand over the National Soul.
For instance, the Deuterium Emperor from the Imperial Nether Demon Sect in the East Sea battle.
Or the Black Luo King of the Black Flag Army from the Nansha Islands.
Or the Snake Leader from Kunlun.
Or the white-haired old man from the Upper Realm who came down during the Northern Border battle.
All of these sought the National Soul.
It’s enough to show its preciousness.
On the other hand.
Qin Feng also knows a bit.
To avoid catastrophe, besides Xumi Land, one can rely on the power of the National Soul to escape.
However, cultivators who use the National Soul’s power become useless, devoid of any cultivation techniques, which is a fate worse than death for Hidden World cultivators, hence they haven’t targeted the National Soul.
But.
The National Soul possesses life-preserving power, and more importantly, can save an entire nation.
It’s truly formidable!
"Next, I want to say...," Yin Chuan continued to Qin Feng, "obtaining the National Stabilization Regulations allows you to become the guardian of the National Soul!"
"Uh..." Qin Feng was bewildered, "Guardian?"
"Of course!"
Yin Chuan said with excitement in his eyes, "Becoming the guardian of the National Soul will be a person’s greatest honor in a lifetime... no, should be across three lifetimes!!"
