* Existed faar before Great Zhou Empire and was a hegemon
* Their power was eventually reduced due to a lot of infighting and were overtaken by Great Zhou Empire
* Wu Qingrou worked together with the Emperor, Shi Yu to stabilize the situation
* Tried to have Great Zhou Empire to fight Mount Shu Sword Sect in fear of their interference in stabilization

## Aristocratic Families

Great Qin Empire has in total 4 aristocratic families three of which are:

* Yu Clan
* Shi Clan
* Huo Clan
* Lie Clan

### Back Grounds:

The 4 clans share very deep connection with Great Qin Imperial Family and have been present since the founding of the dynasty. Over years the clans gained power and except for Huo Clan(the strongest and most blood thirsty), all others started having great ambitions especially after the birth of Shi Tianyi. Both the Yu Clan and shi clan came closer more than ever and threatened the rule of Imperial Qin Family. They caused disturbances due to which, the Prime Minister and Strategist Wu Qingrou decided to get rid of this system and to centralize all the power with Emperor having the greatest authority. Thus started working towards that prospect.

### Present Situation:

Lin Feng knew that the Great Qin Empire was not peaceful now. The royal family of the Great Qin Empire was openly repressing the powers of the aristocratic families. The conflict between both parties were becoming more and more intense, leading to frequent clashes. They were very close to a full-blown conflict.

Although the aristocratic families had great power, they were not comparable to the entire Great Qin Empire however they were strong and tightly linked to the Great Qin Empire. Since their relationship was complex, any trivial matters could lead to significant impacts. Along with that, many other great powers wanted to restrict the powers of the Great Qin Empire and support these aristocratic families in the dark, causing the Great Qin Empire to be on their guard. But recent news purported that the Great Qin Empire was determined to make a move this time. Besides the Four Aristocratic Families, the other smaller-scale aristocratic families’ influences were likely to receive a huge blow.

Among the Four Aristocratic Families, there was even the Huo Clan who shared a closer relationship with the royal family.

Therefore, there was a feeling that the powers of the aristocratic families that had been thriving in the Great Qin Empire for thousands of years were no longer stable. But these families would not wait to be eliminated. They schemed and a huge internal conflict was about to descend within the Great Qin Empire. The rest of the great powers were watching this situation very closely.

### Destiny Treasure:

Great Qin like some other great powers possess one destiny treasure named "Immortal Dragon City". This treasure keeps the destiny of great Qin Safe and protect them on more than just physical sense. Any calamity that great qin might suffer could be averted with this destiny treasure.

The motif of this destiny treasure is "Pure Defence". It does posses some offensive capabilities but the crux stays with pure defence. Reportedly it has the strongest physical defence in the entire world.

Quote:

"A long light figure appeared, as if it was a dragon circling the Nine Heavens. Its length was counted in hundred thousands of miles. As it dominated the universe, there was seemingly no end to it.

Unsurmountable, indestructible, as it repressed the world, the supreme aura of it filled the entire universe. It seemed to engulf the entire Grand Celestial World.

It was the Immortal Dragon City of the Great Qin Empire!

The Immortal Dragon City dominated the universe and was between Mount Baiyun and the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. It looked as if it was a unidirectional wall, but in fact, it covered overlaps in space. No matter which direction the Great Void Sect Elders wanted to take to reach the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, they were blocked."
