Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

On the third day after Xia Jin returned to the Great Xia Dynasty, in the pavilion in the backyard of the Jinwang Palace.

A green ray, full of vitality, slowly faded from Xia Jin's fingertip.

Opposite him, Eunuch Wei and Su Xuanji, who were sitting cross-legged, opened their eyes at the same time.

At this moment, the auras surrounding the two surged and churned, several times stronger than before. After exchanging a glance, both of them couldn't suppress their excitement.

"Grandmaster level nine! Our master actually broke through three realms in one go, jumping from Grandmaster level six to Grandmaster level nine in one go!?" Eunuch Wei looked at the surging true energy in his body and still couldn't believe it.

Looking at the two who had broken through, Xia Jin couldn't help but smile with a relaxed expression.

He never expected that after breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm, using the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture to cleanse and transform the marrow of others would become so effortless.

According to his estimate, at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could create a group of hundreds of elite secret guards for the Great Xia, all of whom would be at the Grandmaster level!

This will be a force that can easily intimidate the Eastern Region.

"Master! Thank you!" Eunuch Wei stood up first, without saying anything else, and bowed deeply to Xia Jin. But seeing his slightly trembling hands, one could tell how excited he was.

Su Xuanji snapped out of her daze when Eunuch Wei spoke, rose, and gracefully bowed, saying, "Xuanji thanks Your Highness!"

However, when she looked at Xia Jin, a trace of resentment remained hidden deep in her eyes.

That blockhead probably already knows my feelings, but he always deliberately ignores them.

"No need for formalities! Cough cough cough..." Xia Jin glanced at Su Xuanji's resentful expression and could only cough a few times on purpose without making a sound.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, drawing the attention of Xia Jin and the others. Qin Hu, holding a letter, rushed towards them, shouting, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"

Xia Jin frowned as she looked at the panting Qin Hu. "Qin Hu, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Qin Hu quickly handed the letter to Xia Jin: "Your Highness, a great upheaval has occurred in the Central Region!"

Xia Jin took the letter, her eyes quickly scanning the few paragraphs of text, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat uncertain.

"The Great Qian Dynasty... and the three northern kingdoms have simultaneously launched an attack on the Lieyang Dynasty? What exactly is going on?"

He handed the secret letter to Leng Yuexi and the others who looked suspicious, and then fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, his recent slaying of Lu Tiancheng, the ancestral immortal of the Great Qian Dynasty, would have severely weakened the Great Qian's top fighting force. Moreover, the Great Qian was currently embroiled in a power struggle among the princes, and the Lieyang Dynasty and the three northern kingdoms had already planted many people there. Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had allied with these enemy states.

That's true. The Lieyang Dynasty should join forces with the three kingdoms of the Northern Frontier to attack the Daqian Dynasty!

How come it's reversed now?

"The Central Region... has suddenly become so chaotic?" A hint of surprise flashed across Leng Yuexi's face. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for the Great Xia, which was about to unify the Eastern Region.

When Wei Gonggong and Su Xuanji saw the contents of the letter, they were even more shocked.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion became heavy, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Xia Jin. After all, only Xia Jin now had the potential to control the development of the Eastern Region.

Xia Jin remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "No matter what happens in the Central Region, no matter how chaotic it becomes, the plan of my Great Xia remains unchanged! To unify the entire Eastern Region within three months!"

"Young Wei, as I told you before, within half a month, select two hundred promising talents with excellent potential, and most importantly, absolute loyalty, and bring them here. Remember, better to have fewer but better candidates!"

"Yes, sir! We guarantee to complete your mission!" Eunuch Wei nodded solemnly.

"Half a month from now, I will personally cleanse their marrow and lay a solid foundation for them. The specific training and daily exercises thereafter will be entirely in your hands, Yuexi." Xia Jin then looked at Leng Yuexi sitting beside her.

"Don't worry, my husband."

"Sect Leader Su," Xia Jin said, turning to Su Xuanji one last time, "your mission remains unchanged: continue to closely monitor the movements of the remaining four kingdoms in the Eastern Region, especially the Yuehua Dynasty bordering the Great Qian! Report any unusual activity immediately. With chaos erupting in the Central Region, it's hard to guarantee that no one will try to take advantage of the situation in the Eastern Region."

Su Xuanji suppressed her chaotic thoughts and replied solemnly, "Xuanji understands and will keep a close eye on Yuehua."

"Alright," Xia Jin waved his hand, "You may all go about your business. If there are any important matters, you can discuss them with me."

"Yes!" Eunuch Wei, Su Xuanji, and Qin Hu bowed in unison, and then hurriedly left.

Soon, only Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi remained in the pavilion.

Leng Yuexi quietly walked behind Xia Jin and reached out to massage his temples: "Husband... although you said those things just now, you were actually worried about something, weren't you?"

Xia Jin closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth from Leng Yuexi's fingertips. After a moment, he reached out and grasped Leng Yuexi's wrist, gently pulling her into his arms.

He embraced his beloved, but his gaze was fixed on the sky, watching the slowly drifting white clouds. He spoke softly, "The Great Qian and the Blazing Sun are sworn enemies, their grudges run deep. It's not surprising that they've clashed in battle. But what about the three kingdoms of the Northern Frontier…?"

"They are relatively resource-poor and have always regarded the wealthy Daqian as easy prey, attempting to invade the south time and again, though they have repeatedly failed. Now, they have actually put aside their greed for Daqian and joined forces with it to attack Lieyang..."

"Hmm? What do you think is the reason for this, my husband?" Leng Yuexi leaned against Xia Jin's chest and asked softly.

"There are only two possibilities," Xia Jin said, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Either the Great Qian Dynasty has offered conditions that the three kingdoms of the Northern Frontier simply cannot refuse. Or..."

His eyes suddenly sharpened: "There might be something within the territory of the Lieyang Dynasty that is so valuable that the Great Qian and the three Northern Frontier Kingdoms would temporarily set aside their old grudges and join forces to take down Lieyang!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexi was immediately startled.

"Hmm," Xia Jin nodded slightly after a moment of silence, "but I prefer the latter."

"Then... Husband, do you already have a plan in mind?" Leng Yuexi raised her head and looked at Xia Jin.

"A plan?... Not for now. But given this unusual situation, I cannot simply stand by and watch."

He gently lifted Leng Yuexi's chin and said, word by word:

"I plan to personally visit the Lieyang Dynasty to see what it holds that could cause the Great Qian and the three Northern Frontier Kingdoms to mobilize such a large force."

"If something truly emerges that can entice the Great Qian Dynasty and the three kingdoms of the Northern Frontier, then I, the King, will also claim a share!"
