In the northern wilderness, at the headquarters of Tianbao Pavilion, a man with a purple crown gathers with several of Tianbao Pavilion’s elites.
“Xu Yan has been in Ling Domain for some time now, I wonder how he is doing?”
One person opens the conversation.
“Xu Yan entering the Inner Domain, is inevitably different from us.”
The man in the purple crown shakes his head.
“So, what is it like in the Inner Domain? Some old fellas have joined the Dahua Pavilion and become offerings for Dahua.”
“This is the second way other than entering Ling Domain, who would willingly become a servant?”
“What should we do then?”
For a moment, the elites in Tianbao Pavilion fall into silence.
Tianbao Pavilion, unlike other forces in the Inner Domain, is controlled by the man with a purple crown. He is supported by the forces of the Ling Domain to monitor the demon lord.
Whether the forces of Ling Domain have decided to abandon Tianbao Pavilion is uncertain.
However, Tianbao Pavilion cannot join Dahua as that would risk attracting trouble.
“Tianbao Pavilion is Tianbao Pavilion, and the Inner Domain has become Dahua. You all are considered citizens of Dahua, it’s normal to become a part of the Dahua Pavilion.
“Moreover, this does not violate the rules of Tianbao Pavilion. You should join the Dahua Pavilion in your own names.”
The man with the purple crown declared solemnly
His status, after all, is unlike the others, barring him from joining Dahua.
Except if Dahua becomes powerful enough to withstand the force of Ling Domain.
“Let’s proceed then!”
The elites of the Tianbao Pavilion, who are demi-gods, all nod in agreement.
As high-ranking officials of Tianbao Pavilion, they would never willingly become servants. Since they have a choice, naturally they would choose this other path.
With the demi-gods of Tianbao Pavilion secretly joining the Dahua Pavilion, the power dynamics in the Inner Domain once again shift. Among the Dahua Pavilion, the elites gather to discuss the future of the Inner Domain.
These people are at the pinnacle of Inner Realm Martial Arts. The winds of change in the Inner Realm are in their hands.
“Since we’re serving Dahua, the Inner Domain should be left in the past.”
One of the offerings said.
“That’s right, the Inner Domain should be a thing of the past, and Dahua Martial Arts should be the correct path.”
Soon after, a shocking development occurred in the Inner Domain.
The Kingdom of Yan announces its incorporation into Dahua, with Emperor Yan becoming the third emperor of Dahua. The descendants of the Yan royal family now have the rights to compete for the title of the next Emperor of Dahua.
The Kingdom of Yan, as of this day, will be governed by the Dahua Pavilion.
With this, only the Kingdom of Zi Yun remains among the three major countries of the Inner Domain.
Attention from all over the world is now focused on the Zi Yun royal family, with even the martial artists of Zi Yun concerned about the prospect of their country merging into Dahua.
Inside the royal palace of Zi Yun:
The Emperor of Zi Yun is filled with anger, “Has that young Emperor Yan lost his mind?? Dahua is weak, how can it compare to Ling Domain?”
He takes a deep breath and asks solemnly: “Have we found my treacherous daughter?”
“Your Majesty, we have some leads. Prince Su is on his way to find Princess Zi Yun.”
“Very good, with Prince Su seeking her, let her see what the bloodline of Ling Domain truly is. Marrying Prince Su is her blessing.”
The Emperor of Zi Yun said excitedly.
“The opening of the Gate of Lingyu isn’t far off. With Prince Su, who carries the Lingyu bloodline, we will be able to enter Lingyu and avoid becoming mere servants.
“Whether it’s the Inner Domain or Dahua, both are savage lands. Only the Ling Domain is the true ground for Martial Arts!”
Excitement fills the Emperor of Zi Yun’s eyes.
Suddenly, a figure rushes in frantically.
“Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!”
The Emperor of Zi Yun’s eyes harden, his voice deep. “Has Dahua launched an attack?”
The first thing that came to his mind was Dahua attacking Zi Yun. His gaze intense, but he remains calm.
With Prince Su who carries the Lingyu bloodline, we should be able to keep the powers of Dahua at bay.”
“No, it’s not… it’s Prince Su… he’s dead!”
The person’s face was pale, and their voice shook.
“What?”
The Emperor of Zi Yun paled with shock.
“Who killed him, who could kill him?”
That was the person he was relying on to enter Lingyu, and now he’s dead?
“It was… Princess Zi Yun!”
The person’s voice trembles as he speaks.
Stunned, the Emperor of Zi Yun’s face turns frosty. His eyes flash with rage, “That insolent girl, how dare she?! Where is Prince Su?”
“He went to kill Princess Zi Yun.”
“Send my command, capture that traitorous girl and bring her back. Announce to the world that Zi Yun is no longer a princess in my Zi Yun Kingdom!”
The Emperor of Zi Yun’s voice was trembling.
Anger reached its peak, and he was on the verge of going mad.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
News suddenly spread throughout the Inner Domain.
The Emperor of Zi Yun announced that he had severed all father-daughter relationships with Zi Yun and stripped her of her title as Princess. He also issued a warrant for her arrest, offering a high reward.
For a while, the major powers of the Inner Domain were stunned.
Zi Yun, who was once one of the youngest grandmasters in the Inner Domain.
Such a prodigy, was just abandoned by the Kingdom of Zi Yun? Furthermore, a reward was put on her head?
Has the Emperor of Zi Yun gone mad?
On Canglan Island, Li Xuan let out a breath.
The first book of Formation Dao was finally completely organized.
“A total of 36 formations, with 9 major formations, this should suffice for now.”
After finishing organizing the array diagram, which included the integration of the mystical pattern of Heaven and Earth, Li Xuan had organized a total of 36 diagrams, including nine major formations.
Transmitting Formation is one of the nine major formations.
“Small formations are easy to understand, but major formations are more difficult, they really involve Heaven and Earth Laws and require exceptional talent.”
Li Xuan sighed inwardly.
The path of Qimen Martial Arts requires extraordinary talent. Otherwise one cannot incorporate refining artifacts, formations, and prohibitions. Qimen Martial Arts emphasizes “peculiarity” and “unorthodoxy”.
