y'know, you can fire a guy without lobbing off his head....
Hearing these words Antonius lost himself wandering what would it be like for him in the future and cried out in anticipation. "Then with this in time I shall be able to expand my territories in to a far beyond with immense wealth to be shared with my captains, and an never ending piece of land to be granted to my friends as the new nobles, may be I will even be able to replace that old emperor in Constantinople who almost failed his state in 1453… I might be able to revive the Roman empire under my lead… And I shall name it 1453: Revival of Byzantium… How about I grant you a duke next time by then? My friend?"

I love how MC just rips a sick free style and they hail him as an apostle.
Showing utmost care, he lifted Max's tiny body high up with both hands, and addressed the crowd, "My sons of the Inquisition, this hellish march from the Holy Land to here was not for nothing. All of you are one to bring glory to the Faith of Solis. In all his glory, he sang the hymn of the Lord none had ever heard before. This is a new Holy sermon; from now on, we shall roar. For we have found the apostle, THE GOD'S FAVOURED!"

To cultivate is the act of defying the Heavens and Earth, through pursuit of truth and spiritual attainment. Imagine you are some Daoist Hermit in 9th Century China, sticking it to the Gods and the Emperor to snort traditional medicine, read books, and think about stuff. It's the counterculture to Imperial Chinese tradition informed by Confucianism that revolves around respect for authority, ritual propriety, family, and submitting to the will of the Heavens(aka the Son of Heaven, aka the Emperor of China). Think of it as medieval Chinese hippies dodging the draft, smoking the reefer, and sticking it to the man. Xianxia is pretty much combining that with heavily derived Chinese robinhood stories where doing all that silly stuff actually makes you immortal, and the mounted bandits are the good guys. So in summary, cultivating is sticking it to the man,( which is a controlled substance in China) and that man happens to be The Heavens themselves.
Qin Chen was elated. One day, he would finally be able to become a true cultivator who could defy the heavens.

I like the idea that somehow Dutch dudes made it to South Africa before Christ, became boers, and migrated to Egypt. HiStOriCal FiCtIoN moment.
That day, the Pharaoh's Palace welcomed many guests, all of whom were representatives from neighboring countries as well as tribes who frequently traded with Egypt. Some Greeks, some Afrikaans, some coming from the far east, including traders from the west of Egypt. Almost everyone who had a trade agreement with Egypt came into attendance.

I love the story, but I think it would stand to benefit from an editor to catch stray typos and autocorrect. It's by no means unreadable, but in most chapters I stop for a second or two to figure out what a word was supposed to be.
*some west African kings during specific time periods and regions. African Kings got the short end of the stick for a lot of things; Arab slave trade, the Ole Columbian exchange, and terrain/society. Luck is treacherous like that, my slime
It was like going from a European king to an African one.
