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

At this moment, even those who disliked Xia Zhaoyan couldn't help but sigh!

I was happy for Xia Zhaoyan, after all, his experiences were really too complicated.

For a prince who was originally just an ordinary genius to survive the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens was already considered a great achievement.

Unexpectedly, this person directly faced a major tribulation, transforming the three-nine tribulations into a ninety-nine heavenly tribulation!

"Congratulations to King Ren on successfully transcending his tribulation!" The crowd on the periphery bowed in the direction of the royal palace.

...

"Congratulations to King Ren on successfully transcending his tribulation!" The court officials in the inner circle bowed in salute.

The next moment, all the princes and crown princes nodded or clasped their hands in greeting.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on successfully transcending your tribulation!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on successfully transcending your tribulation!"

At this moment, no one would be foolish enough not to offer their congratulations.

The royal family may not remember who offered congratulations, but they will definitely remember who did not.

What's wrong with me? My royal lineage survived the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and you look down on me that much?

However, a strange look appeared in the eyes of some people!

Because they weren't very optimistic about Ren-ou's future, this was just the first of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations!

Throughout history, how many people have been able to survive the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations from beginning to end?

If it were that easy to cross over, there wouldn't have been only five powerful immortals in history. And of those, two of them are not clearly recorded.

It's just something that's been passed down among the demon race!

King Qiong smiled, which made people think that he was happy for his younger brother, King Ren.

Actually, he was so happy he felt like jumping for joy.

"Haha... the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation..."

"Oh Niou, your path to survival is now closed!"

"You can get through this time, but what about next time, and the time after that...?"

Meanwhile, the Eastern King, positioned in another direction, also had a smile on his lips.

"Oh, Your Majesty, the maids in your household are destined to be mine!"

"So dazzling now, it's a pity it's all destined for a short life!"

The other princes and the crown prince were also worried because Xia Zhaoyan had previously taken out various magical artifacts.

His father bestowed upon him the title of "King Ren," making it clear that he was no longer qualified to compete for the throne.

However, with the Heavenly Punishment Bureau under his control, even the crown princes harbored thoughts of suppressing Xia Zhaoyan.

But things are different now; Renwang's tribulation is the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

At most, he will be a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist in this lifetime, because undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation is a life-or-death hurdle in itself.

Apart from those five Immortal Realm cultivators, none of the recorded cultivators who underwent the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation in history were able to reach the Celestial Realm.

Even if we control the Heavenly Punishment Division now, so what!

His future path is clearly blocked!

...

At this time, Zongjinji Temple has already arranged a new residence.

The previous Prince Ren's Mansion was destroyed beyond recognition by the lightning tribulation and needs to be repaired.

Everyone else went back, and while they were changing residences, Xia Zhaoyan chatted with his mother for a while.

At this moment, Consort Hua's eyes were still red, and her face showed both sorrow and a hint of joy.

"Zhao'er, your mother is sorry, I can't help you!"

At this point, tears welled up in his eyes again, overcome with emotion.

She was also a cultivator, and her cultivation was not weak; she possessed the cultivation of an early-stage Grandmaster.

He knew in his heart that his son's future was completely over.

Perhaps in the next tribulation, he will perish completely under the lightning!

"Mother, you have done nothing wrong to me. You should be happy for yourself and for your son!"

"Just think about it, your son is a prince qualified to undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Mother, I assure you, your son will definitely overcome every heavenly tribulation!"

Due to time constraints, the mother and son were ultimately unable to talk for very long.

...

The next day, news of Niou's successful passage through the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation spread rapidly.

Soon, the entire Great Xia Dynasty knew the news.

Most people felt sorry for this royal prince.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Since taking charge of the Heavenly Punishment Division, King Ren has not only restored the division to its original status in just a few months.

Moreover, many corrupt officials in the court were eliminated. The more an official's property was confiscated, the stronger the Great Xia became.

However, from the perspective of the cultivation world, Renwang is not from their world.

At this time, the cultivation world was quite lively, because the White Lotus Sect was making a large-scale northward march to the three northern states.

Especially in the neighboring northern state, the branch here now has two Dharma Kings and dozens of elders!

The two Dharma Kings sat at the head of the table, and the atmosphere in the hall was very quiet.

"Chief Yu, what are you doing at your branch in the northern neighboring state?!"

"It's been so long, and we still haven't found the branch of the Northern Neighbor Prefecture's Underworld!"

The captain bent over deeply, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He certainly didn't want to be sacrificed to the gods because of this!

"I inform the two Dharma Kings that the underworld is truly hidden far too deeply."

"We destroyed an entire prefecture's stronghold, but we didn't get a single useful piece of information!"

...

"Hmph, trash!"

"If it weren't for your hard work and contributions, I would have already captured you and offered you as a sacrifice to the gods!"

The Dharma King on the left let out a cold shout, emanating a strong killing intent.

The Dharma King on the right shook his head and said, "We don't have much time left. The entire cultivation world is watching our White Lotus Sect."

"If this matter cannot be resolved perfectly, the White Lotus Sect's position in the Great Xia will be challenged in various ways in the future."

"It seems that the only option left is to take the initiative and provoke them!"

"Someone, spread the word to me."

"Take my challenge against the King of Hell in the Underworld. If he doesn't show up, then our White Lotus Sect will destroy all their strongholds."

"From this day forward, we will exert all our strength to suppress the existence of the Underworld!"

"Any cultivator who joins the Underworld will be an enemy of our White Lotus Sect!"

...

"Yes, I will obey His Holiness's command!"

Soon after, the news that the White Lotus Sect's Dharma King was going to challenge the King of Hell spread throughout the entire cultivation world of the Northern Territory.

The news spread even faster to other parts of Great Xia.

In the imperial city, Xia Zhaoyan also learned of the news immediately.

"Your Highness, Yan Wang Shi Zhixuan requests permission to accept the White Lotus Sect's challenge!"

Xia Zhaoyan frowned slightly. Originally, Zhang Han could have arranged the villa outside the city today.

However, because I was undergoing tribulation last night, this matter was postponed.

The villa won't be ready until tomorrow at the latest, so he can't manifest the system's rewards right now.

The real reason is that he is currently in the eye of the storm, and many people in the city are paying attention to him.

The reward can only be postponed, because the White Lotus Cult has come knocking again!

"Inform the King of Hell that we must accept the White Lotus Sect's challenge!"

"You must kill that Dharma King for me, to buy some time for the Underworld."

"New powerful figures will soon join the Underworld!"

...

Upon receiving the news, Shi Zhixuan instructed the underworld to announce that he accepted the challenge from the White Lotus Sect!

We can't let the White Lotus Sect wipe out all the strongholds we've worked so hard to build.

This caused an uproar throughout the cultivation world of the Northern Territory, as it was a battle between two powerful cultivators at the Celestial Realm.
