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

Xia Zhaoyan and Tie Zhongtang stood at the entrance of the secret room for three days!

He didn't leave for three days, unaware that the whole world now knew his name!

On the Tianhuang Mountains, the patriarchs of the Butian Sect awoke one by one.

The sect leader stood alone below, bearing the pressure from the people above.

"Having said that, in just four years, my Bu Tian Sect almost lost its position as the number one holy sect!"

"Sect Leader, what exactly is going on?"

If someone were to walk in right now, they would probably be terrified at first sight!

At the head of the table were a total of thirty-eight beings at the Dragon Transformation Realm, including one at the late stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm, five at the middle stage, and the rest at the early stage.

This is the foundation of the Bu Tian Sect, which is hailed as the number one sect in the world!

Of course, these thirty-eight Dragon Transformation Realm beings were not born in a single era of reincarnation.

It was accumulated over five full cycles of reincarnation!

It's not that the Bu Tian Sect only produced thirty-eight Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators over five cycles of reincarnation.

The total number of those who reached the Dragon Transformation Realm far exceeded thirty-eight, but all of them perished.

Most perished at the hands of Heaven, while a small number perished at the hands of the demon race.

At this moment, the sect leader looked distressed and aggrieved. "Esteemed elders, this is how it all began!"

He then described the findings of his investigation.

After hearing this information, the Dragon Transformation Realm experts at the head of the table looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. Could it be that the Divination Mirror had degenerated? That would obviously be absurd.

"Sigh...it seems the Divination Mirror isn't omnipotent after all!" A Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator sighed.

"But if things continue like this, our religion will inevitably decline."

Relying on the unique nature of the Divination Mirror, the core cultivation tradition of the Divination Sect places the greatest emphasis on collecting and absorbing the seven emotions and six desires of the common people.

But once the Bu Tian Sect loses its status as a holy sect, who will still believe its future rankings?

"So, all of these things actually happened within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"The Great Xia... especially that Prince Renwang, the powerful figures under his command—we, the Divination Mirror, couldn't even divine their origins or any information about them!"

"Only when they reveal themselves will they be detected by the Mirror of Divination."

"This is strange..."

Just then, the old man in the center of the hall suddenly opened his eyes, and a red light illuminated the entire hall.

Everyone immediately looked at him. This was a powerful figure who had survived four harvests by the Heavenly Dao and was now living to the fifth cycle of reincarnation.

He is also one of the few late-stage Dragon Transformation Realm experts on the mainland.

"How is it, Ancestor? Can you divine the situation of those people?"

The old man shook his head and sighed, "No, these people are very mysterious. I only saw causal threads on their bodies, all of which were connected to the Benevolent King of Great Xia!"

"He is the source of everything..."

Having said that, his gaze seemed to pierce through the main hall and the dimensional barrier, looking towards the sky of the main world.

Oh, Heavenly Way, even you cannot see the origins of those people...?

Why do you feel that this cycle of reincarnation is fraught with great calamity?

Isn't the greatest calamity your very nature, Heaven?

Suppressing the various thoughts in his mind, the old man then looked at the sect leader.

"Send our people into Great Xia to investigate that Benevolent King!"

Having said that, his figure gradually faded and disappeared, leaving behind his last words that lingered in the hall.

"Heaven has told me that this era may bring an unpredictable and enormous crisis. You all should hurry and increase your strength!"

...

At the White Lotus Sect headquarters, the same scene unfolded: all of their Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators awakened.

"Who would have thought that such a prodigy would emerge from the Great Xia royal family? This has deepened their royal foundation."

"Three early-stage Dragon Transformation Realm warriors—even if we attack with all our might, we'll suffer significant losses!"

The twenty-five Transformation Dragon Realm Dharma Masters sat at the head of the main hall, and judging from their expressions, none of them looked too good.

"Then what should we do? Forget about entering the Great Xia Dynasty, but revenge must be taken. If we let the Underworld continue to develop, a true Dragon Transformation Realm expert will emerge sooner or later!"

...

"Contact the Samsara Palace; I believe those old fogies there are probably not sleeping peacefully anymore..."

Similar scenes are playing out across the continent. These powerful and ancient forces have only one core target in their discussions: Xia Zhaoyan, the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty!

At the Baiyujing headquarters, on the fifth day, Qiao Feng finally awoke.

He had been observing the outside world while in seclusion, so the first thing he did upon waking was to kneel down on one knee before Xia Zhaoyan...

However, Xia Zhaoyan helped him up in an instant.

"Alright, why be so formal between us?"

However, the eighteen riders knelt respectfully on one knee in place of Qiao Feng, and this time Xia Zhaoyan did not stop them.

"How are you? How's your injury?"

...

"Your Highness, my Dao injury has healed, but my original essence has not yet fully recovered."

"It will take time to recover!"

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Dao injury, or Dao foundation, was restored.

At least I can now unleash the full power of a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator!

As for the origin, we can take it slowly. There's no need to worry about lifespan in the Shattered Realm.

Although we can no longer use laws that far exceed our realm during this period, we can simply avoid killing those in the Dragon Transformation Realm!

As long as they can contend with those at the Dragon Transformation Realm, that's fine!

...

The ancestral home of the Great Xia royal family. The Xia Emperor has come here again, but this time he has been summoned.

"Hongwu, with Zhao'er's current power, do you think he still needs to compete with others?"

Emperor Xia looked solemn and remained silent for a while before looking up at his ancestors.

"Ancestors, there is indeed no need for that."

"However, I think we should give him more time to hone his skills, at least to help him master the methods of governing a country."

"This is what I'm thinking: at the next court assembly, I'll appoint him as the crown prince."

"Gradually take over the affairs of the court for me, and after his cultivation level improves by a few more realms, I will pass the throne to Zhao'er."

"Very well!" Emperor Taizu nodded slightly.

"It may be unfair to other children, but that's just how the world is."

"Haha! Three Dragon Transformation Realm experts... no, if we include those from the Underworld, this kid has five Dragon Transformation Realm experts under his command!"

Gaa!

Emperor Xia looked up instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

"What...what? You mean he has two more Dragon Transformation Realm warriors in the Underworld?"

Taizu and the others nodded. Others might not know that the Underworld belonged to Xia Zhaoyan, but they had known for a long time.

Therefore, I have been paying attention to the underworld all along!

As long as Xiang Yutian and Shangguan Jinhong are in the Great Xia, they cannot escape the gaze of the founding emperor, who is blessed with good fortune!

hiss! !

Emperor Xia gasped in shock; he was utterly astonished!

You should know that in the past 100,000 years, our royal family has only produced eleven Dragon Transformation Realm experts!

Moreover, because the imperial dynasty was blessed with good fortune, its cultivation speed was faster than that of other forces.

A prince who had no control over the dynasty's destiny unknowingly possessed the combat power of five Dragon Transformation Realm experts.

At this rate, by the end of this cycle, how many Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators will his son possess...?

Emperor Xia dared not think any further, for fear of frightening himself!
