"Heh heh, no rush with that. In my opinion, who will accompany the Crown Prince to the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty is a pressing matter that needs a swift decision," Guan Chong chuckled coldly, casting a glance at the Great General Yin Ze beside him.
"Select a few Supreme beings! This trip to the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty requires caution. Don't draw too much attention!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Ze appeared displeased.
Supreme beings!
In the three great powers of the Western Border, beings at the Supreme realm were only considered upper-middle tier. Only by stepping into the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm would they form the foundation and strength of an Immortal Dynasty!
As for the Great Heavenly Venerate realm!
Those were beings who were founders and patriarchs within the three great Immortal Dynasties! They generally no longer interfered in political affairs, and were often impossible to find!
"The Prime Minister is correct. We should select a few Supreme descendants to accompany the Crown Prince. However, someone among us must also go, lest the prestige of our Hengtian Immortal Dynasty be diminished."
Another voice chimed in.
Yin Ze nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Crown Prince, this minister is swamped with state affairs. The nation's affairs are paramount. I hope the Crown Prince can understand," Prime Minister Gongsun stood up, a look of guilt on his face.
"Prime Minister, you are too kind. The affairs of this dynasty still require your careful management. The stable development of the Immortal Dynasty would be impossible without your hard work!"
"The Immortal Emperor is in seclusion cultivating. I, this Crown Prince, will be heading to the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty. The affairs of this dynasty will be entrusted to you, Prime Minister!"
Crown Prince Miao Yang smiled faintly, leaving the assembled beings unable to discern his thoughts.
"Then I shall go!" Yin Ze stood up.
"Since Great General Yin Ze is going, we can rest assured! Crown Prince, we will take our leave before tomorrow's court session."
A moment later, several ministers stood up, bowed to the Crown Prince, and exited the grand hall.
Late at night, Miao Yang gazed at the bright moon in the sky and softly murmured, "Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty, Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Emperor and I have endured for a long time. We will settle scores together soon!"
He completely disregarded the Great Han Divine Dynasty, choosing to ignore it. Despite the vast territory of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, it still did not enter his consideration. From beginning to end, he believed the Great Han Divine Dynasty was nothing more than an ant!
...
Territory of the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty.
"Is this Zhuolu City?"
In a corner of the city, which was filled with densely packed teleportation arrays, Yang Hao, along with Meng Tian, Dian Wei, and Wei Xiaokuan, emerged from a teleportation array. He looked at the distinctive architecture around them.
Within the entire city, all palaces and pavilions were protected by dozens of arrays. The architectural style of each building was the same as that of the border fortresses. If one didn't know better, it would appear as if one had entered a military stronghold, with the potential for a million troops to be stationed in any corner of the city.
"Indeed, this is Zhuolu City of the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty!"
"The Zhuolu Sacred Sect grew and prospered from this very place. After millions of years of expansion and slaughter, it achieved its reputation throughout the Western Border!"
"This city is also the most prosperous city in the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty, without exception. Not even the Sacred City can compare!"
"The successive sect masters of the Zhuolu Sacred Sect would return to Zhuolu City every ten thousand years to impart cultivation methods. It can be said that even if you couldn't see the Sect Master of Zhuolu in the Sacred City, you could see him every ten thousand years in Zhuolu City!"
"Even now, after Xianyu replaced the Sect Master of Zhuolu and changed the dynasty, this ancestral teaching is still followed. For the first ten years, Xianyu was active in this city!" Meng Tian pointed to the vicinity.
"General Meng, if I am not mistaken, this Zhuolu City houses the largest Gu Yi Zhai in the Western Border!" Wei Xiaokuan looked at a magnificent nine-story pagoda in the distance.
"Yes! General Wei is correct!"
"This is the largest Gu Yi Zhai in the Western Border. It sells hundreds of millions of spiritual materials, beast bones, and elixirs. It also has cultivation methods for all realms below the Minor Heavenly Venerate!" Meng Tian said with a smile.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Xuanwu Legion attacked Purple Cloud Mountain, slaughtering over three hundred thousand beings. The war is not yet over, and you have gained twenty million Killing Points!!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Hero Tian Dan descended upon Sword Palace, shattering its formations and killing tens of thousands of beings. Sword Palace has surrendered!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Sword Palace has surrendered. The fifty Dao States controlled by Sword Palace have been incorporated into the territory of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining three hundred million Karma Merit Points!"
"Ding! The Karma Nine Cauldrons, Nine Dragon Imperial Seal, Xuanyuan Sword, and Heavenly Emperor Divine Tablet have automatically drawn half of the Karma Merit Points to consolidate national fortune!"
"Ding! Warning to the host, remaining Killing Points: twenty million. Remaining Karma Merit Points: one hundred fifty million!"
"This Tian Dan!" Yang Hao shook his head and chuckled. "Sword Palace has surrendered. Commander Li Jilong of the Xuanwu Legion has already begun to take over the fifty Dao States of Sword Palace!"
"In a few more days, Purple Cloud Mountain will be annihilated!"
"Haha, Divine Emperor, it seems General Tian Dan can't wait any longer!" Meng Tian, Wei Xiaokuan, and Dian Wei burst into laughter.
"Let's go, we'll visit Gu Yi Zhai and see if there's anything worth acquiring!" Yang Hao shook his head.
There were still nearly half a month before the grand ceremony for the establishment of the Zhuolu Immortal Dynasty. He had departed early to get a glimpse of this prosperous and peculiar world. However, the swift surrender of Sword Palace had exceeded his expectations. After the surrender of Purple Cloud Mountain and Sword Palace, based on his previous experience, Yang Hao estimated he would gain three hundred million Karma Merit Points, which would allow him to reach the Saint Lord realm in one go.
According to Yang Hao's estimation, once he reached the Saint Lord realm and the sixth layer of the Samsara Profound Yellow Pagoda was unsealed, he would be able to summon Supreme heroes to appear. However, it would require over three hundred million Killing Points for all the manifested soldiers to enter the barracks. As it stood, it was unlikely he could accumulate enough. If there were no other options, Yang Hao intended to use Karma Merit Points to upgrade his soldiers.
With Supreme heroes appearing!
Then the Great Han would possess the combat power of the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm, allowing them to establish a foothold in the Western Border.
With the Immortal City about to open, regardless of whether the four great families, led by the Hong family, succeeded in rescuing the Candle Dragon, the chaotic era of the Three Thousand Dao States could no longer be stopped. The Immortal City would be a monumental turning point for the Three Thousand Dao States. He needed to enhance the foundation of the Great Han Divine Dynasty as much as possible before the Immortal City ended, at least to possess the combat power of the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm, so they could survive and develop amidst the struggle for dominance among the three major powers of the Western Border.
Nearly half an hour passed quietly. Yang Hao, with the three of them, walked and stopped, witnessing scenes and races he had never seen in the Great Han.
Xianyu had established his empire and announced it to all directions. According to intelligence gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Black Water Immortal Dynasty and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty from Southern Ze would also attend. The Black Water Immortal Dynasty and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty were the two giant powers of Southern Ze. In the entirety of Southern Ze, with its nearly six hundred seventy-three Dao States, there were only these two forces. The Black Water Immortal Dynasty was a dominant power established by the Yaphe family, while the Fallen Immortal Dynasty was an immortal dynasty founded by the Six-Tusked White Elephant clan.
