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

To this day, no one in the Great Xia Dynasty knows that the Underworld is the power of the Benevolent King.

Xia Zhaoyan only hoped that this secret could be kept for as long as possible.

At the very least, he must ensure that the Heavenly Punishment Division under his control is strong enough to truly rival the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

At that time, he was ready to confront his father completely!

They made it clear to the outside world that they were preparing to participate in the struggle for the throne.

Zhang Han secretly arrived at the Prince's residence.

"Your Highness, I have recently uncovered some useful intelligence regarding some officials within the forces of the King of Qiong and the King of Dong."

"With this evidence, the Divine Punishment Division will have a pretext to arrest them!"

Xia Zhaoyan took the documents and began to read them. The more he read, the more satisfied he became. He thought to himself, "As expected of the Shadow Guard, their intelligence gathering ability is truly remarkable."

"Find an opportunity to give this information to Hongyang, and he will know what to do."

The records mention seven officials, ranging from the lowest rank of fifth grade to the highest rank of third grade.

They are all people of the Eastern King and the Qiong King. Anyway, everyone knows now that the Ren King's Mansion has completely fallen out with the Eastern King's Mansion and the Qiong King's Mansion.

The Heavenly Punishment Division happens to have the power in hand, so why wait to suppress them now?

Xia Zhaoyan set a goal for himself: to make one of the two princes completely lose his eligibility to compete within two years.

"There is one more thing I need to report: two Dharma Kings from the White Lotus Sect's Great Xia headquarters have traveled north."

"Not only that, but more than ten deacons and elders also traveled north with them!"

"They've declared that they'll completely wipe out the power of the three northern prefectures!"

Xia Zhaoyan suddenly stood up; he hadn't expected the situation to deteriorate to this extent!

In his original view, the White Lotus Sect, this behemoth, would at most only have its branches in the three northern states join forces to deal with the Underworld.

The White Lotus Sect's Dharma King was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and two such powerful figures died at once.

Shi Zhixuan was able to kill a Celestial Realm Perfection cultivator, but Xia Zhaoyan wasn't sure if he could kill two such cultivators at once, since the Celestial Realm cultivators of the White Lotus Sect were no ordinary people.

With such a profound foundation, who knows if these two Celestial Realm cultivators possess any powerful magical treasures from the White Lotus Sect!

"No, it seems I'll have to offer another sacrifice!"

Upon hearing that His Highness intended to offer a sacrifice, Zhang Han bowed respectfully and then went outside to protect him.

...

"System, I'm going to begin the sacrifice to exchange for rewards!"

The energy within the Vitality Cauldron began to surge upwards towards the altar above, resembling a dragon sucking water.

The energy is visibly disappearing!

[Ding! Energy absorption complete. Rewards will begin!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 10,000 Lesser Rejuvenation Pills!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 10,000 Grade 1 Realm Cultivation Pills and 500 Grade 2 Realm Cultivation Pills!]

[This reward period has ended!]

Xia Zhaoyan's soul left the system space, his face showing a confused expression.

"System, oh system, it seems my sacrifice was incredibly lucky this time!"

It has to be said that he knows the origins of many of these figures.

[Congratulations, host! You were extremely lucky this time, receiving rewards far exceeding the expected level of the sacrifice.]

Xia Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. Since the system had acknowledged it, there must be a Celestial Realm expert among these people.

Therefore, the underworld now had the confidence to resist the White Lotus Sect's suppression.

Xia Zhaoyan knew that the White Lotus Sect's true strength was greater than that of the Great Xia.

However, because it was a religious sect, the White Lotus Sect did not dare to truly antagonize the Great Xia.

Within the Great Xia headquarters, there is only one headquarters master at the early stage of the Shattered Realm. No expert at the mid-stage of the Shattered Realm or above can enter the Great Xia territory without the permission of Great Xia.

"Zhang Han!"

Zhang Han, who was guarding outside, walked in. "Your Highness, please give your orders."

"Zhang Han, go outside the city now and buy me a mansion." Xia Zhaoyan gave Zhang Han this task.

The reason is simple: this time, over a thousand people have been born.

The target audience is too large; we can no longer represent them within the Prince's Palace.

Moreover, there are too many guards in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, making it too easy for outsiders to discover.

"Understood, sir. A mansion can be secured by tomorrow at the latest!"

After saying this, Zhang Han disappeared from the palace.

Night fell quickly, and after taking a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, Xia Zhaoyan felt that it didn't significantly increase his current strength.

He knew that unless he immediately underwent tribulation, his cultivation level could not increase any further.

"Since that's the case, why not just undergo the tribulation tonight?"

Perhaps it was because the rewards from today's sacrifice were plentiful, or perhaps it was due to the influence of the cultivation levels of the other princes.

After all, among all the princes now, he is the only one who is not yet above the Innate Realm.

In short, Xia Zhaoyan was now extremely eager to transcend the tribulation and break through!

"Wanwan, Xuanxuan!"

The two women appeared in the room in an instant, accompanied by two different fragrances.

"You two will secretly protect me; I intend to undergo my tribulation and break through tonight!"

After saying that, he turned and went to the backyard.

At this moment, all the guards of the Prince Ren's Mansion were mobilized, sealing off an area within several hundred meters of the mansion.

In the martial arts training ground in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, Xia Zhaoyan held the magic weapon Longquan Sword in his hand.

The next moment, the energy within his body began to challenge the limitations of his cultivation level!

The restraints were already cracked, and under such a violent impact...

The shackles within the body lasted only a few breaths before being torn apart by the energy.

At the same time, the energy within his body began to transform into true essence.

Although it was already evening, dark clouds began to gather overhead.

As bolts of lightning appeared, they illuminated a large part of the inner city.

One after another, figures soared into the sky from various mansions, including the imperial palace, where many figures also stood in the void.

Who is undergoing tribulation?

This is the question on everyone's mind right now, and some people feel that there is something wrong with this heavenly tribulation!

This is not an ordinary heavenly tribulation, nor is it a tribulation for geniuses. It seems to be the six-nine heavenly tribulation that a monstrous genius has to undergo.
