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

At this moment, Xia Qiming's eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever.

However, Xia Zhaoyan knew that this was a manifestation of suppressing emotions to the extreme, and such people were even more dangerous!

"Our pursuits are different, and so are our perspectives on things."

I won't explain whether I'm in a hurry or not!

He didn't use telepathy, as that would be too low-class; most people use their divine sense to send their voices into their ears and minds.

So all the princes could hear it, and a sarcastic sneer rang out.

"You make it sound so lofty, but how is your pursuit any different from ours? Isn't it all about that throne?"

"What are you pretending for!" Dong Wang's face was full of disdain and sarcasm, and his voice was undisguised.

Xia Zhaoyan shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to these people.

Their only goal is the throne, but the throne is only their first stage objective.

Beyond the Great Xia Dynasty, there are even more territories, and on this earth, there exists the Heavenly Dao that reaps the harvest of all living beings.

Beyond the desolate heavens, there are countless realms!

Ultimately, the dimension in which Tianhuang resides is just one of countless insignificant dimensions.

In those higher-dimensional worlds, any force that descends into this dimension could easily destroy the Heavenly Wasteland World.

...

The carriage did not return to the mansion, because the new Crown Prince's residence was still being prepared by the women.

So Xia Zhaoyan announced his arrival and came to his mother's palace.

From afar, sitting in the carriage, I could hear the excited voices coming from my mother's side.

"Your Highness, His Highness has returned..."

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She was still the same energetic and lively person she always was, not at all like the head steward of her mother's palace!

As Xia Zhaoyan stepped down from the carriage, all the servants in Consort Hua's palace bowed in unison, "Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Just as the servants were about to kneel, they were stopped by a gentle surge of true energy.

"No need for formalities, everyone, please rise!" Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand, and hundreds of palm-sized jade bottles immediately floated in the air.

"These are cultivation resources, which I am giving to you all as a reward."

Everyone trembled with excitement. Although the treatment in the palace was not bad, for cultivators, it was only slightly better than that of ordinary rogue cultivators.

Chu Ling'er chuckled and swept her arms around, hugging her own portion to her chest.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Hehe!"

Looking at Chu Ling'er, who was more than ten years older than him but still acted like a child, Xia Zhaoyan smiled gently.

When she was little, she loved to hug him and have him call her "sister"!

This is a woman who always has an innocent and lively heart, never having any worries, as if she was born to enjoy all the beautiful scenery in the world.

Although he wasn't very proactive in cultivation, his cultivation level was, in his opinion, utterly pathetic, incredibly weak, and clearly built up with pills.

However, Xia Zhaoyan couldn't bear to blame her. This carefree, always smiling "older sister" was the softest spot in his heart.

"If you don't diligently cultivate and hone your foundation, you simply won't be able to survive the Innate Tribulation!"

Although he couldn't bear to blame her, Xia Zhaoyan still couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

Chu Ling'er put away the resources Xia Zhaoyan had given her as a reward, waved her hand dismissively, and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay, if I can't get through it, I can't get through it. Anyway, I feel like I've lived a very fulfilling life!"

"What's the point of cultivation? Living happily and wonderfully is my motto in life. You just need to live well for me when the time comes."

Xia Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat. This heartless, simple-minded fool...

"Oops!" Chu Ling'er slapped her forehead and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"I almost forgot, Her Majesty is still inside waiting for you!"

Xia Zhaoyan shook his head, a gentle smile flashing in his eyes. This silly guy who will never grow up!

...

"Nioh becomes the Crown Prince? This world is changing too fast!"

...

"I had expected this, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!"

...

"I heard that the faces of all the princes in the court, including the other crown princes, turned dark..."

Discussions about Prince Ren being appointed as the crown prince were rampant among the common people, who considered it the most desirable outcome for him to become the crown prince.

However, in the cultivation world and among the major powers, Renwang becoming the crown prince was like a tribulation from heaven.

In the military camp outside the city, when Xia Zhaoyan's chariot appeared in the sky, the 300,000 soldiers below knelt down in unison.

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

The sound was so loud that it shattered the clouds high in the sky and caused birds and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles to jump around in disarray.

"Rise!" Xia Zhaoyan's figure descended upon the high platform.

"Fellow soldiers, this is the first time our Heavenly Punishment Army has ventured out of the Great Xia Dynasty and is facing an army from a dynasty of equal standing."

"I firmly believe that only an army tempered by the crucible of battle deserves to be called a true army!"

"What should you do if the Great Yu Dynasty army deliberately provokes you?"

The next moment, the 300,000-strong army, their expressions fanatical and their killing intent surging, shouted loudly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The killing intent gathered in the air, forming a straight pillar of malevolent light that shot into the sky!

Even in the distant imperial city, countless people were shocked by the malevolent pillar of light outside the city.

Many people remarked with mixed feelings, "The Sixth Prince's Heavenly Punishment Army is truly the most elite army I've ever seen in my life!"

...

"Very well, any enemy who dares to provoke the Great Xia will face only one word: death!"

"Set off!"

On the training ground, a spatial gate slowly opened, and a spatial passage composed of seven-colored light appeared before everyone's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, Guo Jing sent his 300,000-strong army into the spatial gate.

Xia Zhaoyan watched these departing figures, wondering how many of them would perish on the frontier!

But now that an army has been summoned, it can't be kept by your side forever!

...

Yunmeng Ancient Kingdom was one of the vassal states of the Great Xia Dynasty, and opposite it was one of the vassal states of the Great Yu Dynasty.

At this moment, the void above the border suddenly began to distort, and cracks appeared in everyone's eyes.

The Grand General of Yunmeng Kingdom immediately flew into the air and stood in the void, with other powerful soldiers in the army behind him.

"It must be the army of the suzerain state arriving!"

"So fast?" someone exclaimed in surprise. That's an army of tens of millions!

Moreover, it seems that a powerful being used great magic to directly break through the spatial barrier between the two places.

The general shook his head. "News has come from the suzerain state that the leading army is no ordinary army."

"They are the Heavenly Punishment Army under the command of the suzerain state!"

The powerful figures here immediately gasped in astonishment!

As a vassal state, they were naturally aware of all the events that were happening in their suzerain state.

The name of the Heavenly Punishment Army had long been known throughout the major vassal states.

"General, are you referring to the Heavenly Punishment Army under Crown Prince Yan?"

"Could it be that Great Xia has a second Heavenly Punishment Army?" The general nodded and asked.

Instantly, the high-ranking officials here were so excited that their faces turned red!

The pressure in my heart has completely disappeared!

Just then, after a loud boom, a spatial gate appeared in the air!

The next moment, boundless malevolent energy surged out from it, sweeping towards the opposite side of Yunmeng Kingdom!
