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

Xia Hongwu was not only dumbfounded, but his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He immediately came to his senses and hurriedly comforted her.

"Grand Ancestor, it can't be that bad." Cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He smiled bitterly to himself. There were still ten thousand years before the Heavenly Dao awakened, and none of them had lived enough yet.

If your words were to reach the outside world, let alone whether Dongzhou could be sunk.

The overlords of the Eastern Continent alone could come knocking on the door and teach the Great Xia how to be humble!

"Please calm down, esteemed ancestors. It's not worth getting so angry over a mere branch of the Samsara Palace."

"I have come here today because I wish for one of you to emerge and secretly protect Zhao'er's safety."

"Until these three assassins are dealt with!"

"Calm down my ass! What do you know!" Emperor Taizu waved his hand, interrupting Emperor Xia's next words.

"Do you know that Zhao'er is the successor we have secretly chosen?"

"Right now, let him hone his skills. Once the time is right and his cultivation level is high enough, he will immediately take over your position!"

Gaa!

Xia Hongwu's jaw almost dropped to the ground. What did that mean?

So you've already decided on this successor?

Then what am I, someone who warms the dragon throne for my own son?

At this moment, Emperor Xia suddenly felt as if his beautiful new wife had been abandoned.

There must be some secret he didn't know about, so he looked at the Emperor Taizu and the others.

"Esteemed ancestors, what exactly is going on?"

"Why do I feel like you all understand Zhao'er better than I do?"

Everyone glanced at the founding emperor, waiting for his nod of agreement.

Should we tell Emperor Ren of Xia the secret?

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it from you anymore!"

Emperor Taizu then nodded to the crowd, signaling them to explain the situation to Emperor Xia.

Xia Kuangwu stepped forward and began to recount everything about Xia Zhaoyan.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia felt as if his understanding of the world had collapsed.

What? The Underworld is actually Zhao'er's territory?

The Underworld that made everyone in the Northern Cultivation World tremble at the mere mention of it was founded by Zhao'er.

Moreover, Zhao'er is actually a being reincarnated from a higher-dimensional world?

This...this...

His mind was in complete chaos, and his feelings were incredibly complicated!

If it weren't for the existence of the Samsara Palace assassins, he wouldn't have known any of this.

No wonder those lunatics in the underworld dared to go head-to-head with the White Lotus Sect.

"Do you understand now? Zhao'er is the key to our Great Xia's complete departure from this world!"

"How could we not be furious when we learned that the Samsara Palace was planning to assassinate Zhao'er?!"

Xia Kuangwu's voice was gloomy, clearly indicating that he was also angry.

Emperor Xia took a deep breath!

"Yes, you must be able to get angry."

"That's right. At worst, we'll sink the entire Eastern Continent to let the Samsara Palace know they've messed with the wrong people!"

At this moment, the Xia Emperor's anger was even stronger than that of everyone else present.

"Alright, this matter must not be revealed to anyone."

"Zhao'er still needs to be trained and grow."

"Actually, you don't need to worry about his safety. There are several powerful figures in the underworld."

"Zhao'er's safety is still guaranteed."

"The people of the underworld should be his protectors in this world!"

"However, judging from Zhao'er's appearance, she should have awakened her memories of her past life as well."

After Xia Kuangwu finished speaking, he looked at one of his descendants.

"But we still need to send someone out, otherwise it might arouse suspicion from Zhao'er and her subordinates."

"Xia Linfeng, you will be born alongside Hongwu this time!"

A rather thin figure stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the order.

"Lin Feng respectfully obeys the ancestor's command."

Xia Linfeng is the sixth-generation direct descendant of the Great Xia royal family, and his current cultivation level is in the late stage of the Shattered Realm.

"I reckon that Zhao'er already has his subordinates hiding around him right now."

"If you haven't noticed, that's fine. But if you have, just pretend you didn't notice, understand?"

Xia Kuangwu carefully instructed Xia Linfeng, and everyone understood why he made this arrangement.

After speaking, he looked at Emperor Xia himself.

"When you get back, give me the order to find the branch of the Samsara Palace."

"After dealing with those three assassins, we immediately went to wipe out their branch."

...

Even after emerging from the ancestral land, Emperor Xia still felt somewhat surreal.

In the end, he could only sigh deeply: "Ancestor, I feel that this throne is rather meaningless!"

Xia Linfeng glanced sideways at the Emperor, "Hold on for now, it's not time for you to abdicate yet!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving the Xia Emperor speechless and bewildered in the wind!

"Tch, I originally planned to try my best to solve some of the deep-seated problems within the country."

"Forget it, let the brat handle it himself!"

...

Inside the Prince Ren's residence, Zhang Danfeng had already returned from the northern border.

"Your Highness, I intend to hide within your residence."

"It's better if those assassins from the Samsara Palace don't come; if they do, I'll make sure they're reduced to dust!"

The gentle and righteous Marquis Bai Yujing spoke with an overwhelming murderous intent.

Clearly, he was disgusted by the Samsara Palace!

I just hope Zhang Han can do his job and find out the location of the Samsara Palace as soon as possible.

Moreover, the underworld also learned of this matter. If it weren't for the fact that the underworld's people were too conspicuous, they would have also descended upon the imperial city by now.

However, from now on, the Underworld will devote all its intelligence resources to finding the Palace of Reincarnation.

Although they do not yet have a branch in the Western Desert, a large number of intelligence personnel have already gone there.

"Alright, you can stay at the Prince's Mansion for now."

"But remember to conceal your cultivation level!"

However, what the two did not know was that at this moment, a figure quietly descended into the clouds above the Prince's Mansion.

Xia Linfeng was puzzled; it was yet another expert at the peak of the Celestial Realm.

If that's true, the underworld still has hidden strength. He then vanished into thin air in the next moment!

...

On this day, in the secret chamber of the Prince's mansion, even without wind, the surrounding spiritual liquid rose out of thin air and rushed madly into Xia Zhaoyan's Baihui acupoint.

At this moment, the shackles of the perfected Innate Realm within his body vibrated wildly.

Streams of true essence surged against the shackles. As more and more spiritual liquid was absorbed, the energy within the body not only did not decrease, but actually increased even more than before.

The next moment, Xia Zhaoyan looked inward at the world inside his body, and the shackle that was invisible to the naked eye but clearly felt by his soul made a crisp cracking sound.

Immediately, it was shattered by the immense true energy.

An even more powerful energy was born within the body, and the original energy began to undergo a qualitative change.

"The Innate Realm has been perfected."

"Looks like I'm about to undergo another tribulation!"

Xia Zhaoyan got up and walked out of the secret room, originally intending to offer a sacrifice.

But I didn't expect my cultivation to break through so quickly!

"Forget it, let's wait a few more days."

"I'll make the sacrifice after I advance to the Purple Mansion Realm!"

At this moment, he is ready to undergo tribulation at any time.

"Wanwan!"

Not only did Wanwan appear, but the other two women also showed up at the same time, saying, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your successful breakthrough!"

"Alright, congratulations, I accept it. Make the arrangements; I will be undergoing my tribulation tomorrow!"
