Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

Inside the underground palace in the desert, the Third Elder was trembling with rage.

He pointed at the Fifth Elder and said in a hoarse voice.

"Are you trying to go this far?"

"Do you really think this elder wouldn't dare to awaken the palace masters?"

...

"Silence!!" Suddenly, a powerful aura of the Shattered Realm enveloped the palace.

The deputy hall master at the head of the hall spoke expressionlessly.

"Awakening these palace lords now—do you want them to suffer a backlash?"

The aura of that Shattered Realm made the many elders below feel as if they were being crushed by a mountain.

"That prince has no powerful maternal clan behind him, no protectors; assassinating him wouldn't be difficult!"

"Alright, it's decided then!"

...

While the Reincarnation Palace was discussing revenge, in a luxurious mansion within the imperial city, the King of Qiong sat obediently in a chair, showing none of his usual arrogance.

Opposite him was Chang Kong, the current public security chief who had quelled the rebellion!

As one of the thirty-six dukes, he was usually very low-key. Among the many duke families, the Wei family was considered to be one of the more low-key ones.

"Qiong'er, you handled this matter too carelessly this time."

"Even if you're looking for assassins, why go after the Samsara Palace?"

At this moment, King Qiong was also filled with regret. He had realized what was happening the moment the news reached the imperial city.

I'm in big trouble this time!

"Ancestor, I didn't think that much about it at the time!"

"It only came to my senses afterward that I realized the Samsara Palace is a mortal enemy of our Great Xia!"

Wei Changkong sighed inwardly. This was the downside of growing up in a smooth-sailing environment—never experiencing setbacks.

"Your subordinates are all incompetent!"

"Find a chance to replace them. Expecting these people to assist you? Ha!"

King Qiong nodded firmly. Even without the ancestor's reminder, he was prepared to slowly replace these people after returning.

However, he immediately spoke up.

"Ancestor, I plan to reuse them; I'll use them as shields for me!"

"If they want their families to survive, they have no choice but to shield me from this calamity!"

"Besides, the Samsara Palace was originally brought here by them!"

...

"You're not entirely stupid!" Wei Changkong nodded in approval of the decision.

"Don't worry, I will personally communicate with you this time and try my best to minimize your losses."

"But be prepared, your brother, the Prince of Ren, will definitely make trouble for you!"

"I just don't know how he plans to make trouble!"

The mere mention of the name Nioh caused Sora to grit his teeth in disgust!

The incident started because of the other party, and now they've actually managed to get hold of something against us!

"Fortunately, that little guy didn't have the support of his maternal clan, so he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the struggle for the throne."

"Otherwise, given his current performance, plenty of people would be willing to invest in him!"

As a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, Wei Changkong was astonished when he learned that a little girl beside King Ren was also at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The look of shock he gave off at that moment was definitely one of disbelief in the world!

...

In the following days, the entire Great Xia Dynasty did not gradually forget about the Wang family's affairs as time passed.

On the contrary, in the unseen upper levels, the storm has already begun to accumulate rapidly.

Everyone was waiting to see what Niou would do next; they didn't believe he would give up such a good opportunity for nothing.

There are only a few days left until the next court assembly!

It is foreseeable that it will be a life-or-death struggle between the two princes.

...

In the center of the Tianhuang Continent, a massive mountain range has stood since ancient times.

Centered on it, the Tianhuang Continent is divided into four continents.

This mountain range, whose top cannot be seen even by cultivators, is called Tianhuang Mountain!

It stretches over 70 kilometers from north to south and over 5,000 kilometers from east to west, with its main peak piercing the clouds at a height of several tens of kilometers!

The sect of the Bu Tian Sect is located on this main peak, which is known to all cultivators.

At this moment, on a vast flat area halfway up the main peak, various buildings are situated.

"Master, the powerful figure who appeared in Great Xia... it's really not our fault for not warning them!"

"The Heavenly Mirror hasn't reacted at all, and we never expected so many powerful figures to suddenly appear!"

The leader of the Bu Tian Cult at the head of the table remained silent, the curses of the cultivators still ringing in his ears.

"That damned divination cult..."

"A trash sect, yet it claims to have the ability to predict the fate of all cultivators in the world..."

"A maid who had served the prince for so long, and they still couldn't predict her cultivation level..."

The leader of the Bu Tian Cult loved to disguise himself and travel to various places!

This is also the core of their lineage of martial arts: to experience the local customs and traditions and feel the warmth and life of ordinary people.

What he didn't expect was that he would discover such a serious matter during this trip!

As the leader of one of the world's most prestigious sects, he personally heard cultivators complaining about the Bu Tian Sect.

What terrified him even more was that some people had begun to distrust the Bu Tian Cult.

I feel that the Bu Tian Sect is unworthy of being the number one holy sect in the world!

This distrust is fatal to the Bu Tian Cult!

The so-called Heavenly Ranking, Dharma Image Ranking, Beauty Ranking, and other similar lists are not, in the good intentions of the Bu Tian Sect, intended to educate the world about the situation of cultivators.

The emotions that people feel when viewing the list are collected by the Bu Tian Sect through special means.

These emotions are not only used for cultivation, but also as a source of energy for deduction.

Without these emotions, the cultivation methods of the Bu Tian Sect, relying solely on spiritual energy, would be incredibly slow!

Thinking of this, the leader of the Bu Tian sect interrupted everyone's attempts to evade responsibility.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing about this now!"

"Right now, we need to re-analyze all cultivators in the world!"

"Add those unfamiliar powerhouses to the appropriate lists!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious, and someone said anxiously.

"But Master, there are still more than twenty years until the next list is released!"

"The special emotions we've accumulated are only enough for the Divination Mirror to use for deductions. What about our cultivation?!"

Yes, that's exactly what everyone's worried about!

After a long silence, the leader of the Bu Tian Cult slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, our Divination Sect has a long history, and we cannot allow this matter to cause the world to distrust us."

"Compared to the future of the sect, what does your cultivation amount to?"

"Do you know that even within the Great Xia Dynasty alone, quite a few people are beginning to distrust us?"

"Do you know what a disaster this is for us?!"

Wow!

A series of exclamations immediately rose from below; they hadn't expected things to be so serious!

"Hiss... No way..."

"So what if a few Celestial Realm cultivators were missed? Is it really necessary for the world to be so dissatisfied?"

"No, I'd rather pause my cultivation than let the sect lose its trust!"

Immediately, everyone stopped objecting to re-analyzing the scenario!

As high-ranking members, they certainly knew what losing trust meant for the Bu Tian Sect!

A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the cult leader at the head of the table!

"Hmph, after this re-analysis, let's see what the world can say then!"

"I refuse to believe that your Great Xia can suddenly produce several more Celestial Realm cultivators!"

The leader of the Bu Tian Sect remained confident, still believing that those few Celestial Realm experts were simply people he had overlooked before!
