Ever since he heard that the names of the 36 Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were the same as his previous world, and even related to Northern Dipper, he still held a trace of hope in his heart. He hoped that he could find the connection between his original world and Kuang Xiao Continent, and now that the names of the 36 Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns coincided, it might just be a coincidence.

"Han Xiao, Han Xiao." It was unknown why Han Xiao was clearly sitting right here, not too far away from them, but Xi Yun felt that Han Xiao was very far away from him. An invisible wall appeared between the two of them, preventing him from touching Han Xiao's heart.

"Xi Yun, what's the matter?" Han Xiao regained his senses and asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask what method you thought of to break the formation." Xi Yun asked helplessly.

"The method to break the array," Han Xiao thought in astonishment that several people were researching the method to break the array, yet his own thoughts had wandered back to his original world, he couldn't help but reveal an apologetic smile, "Not yet."

"Your highness, there's no need to blame yourself for breaking the Heavenly Dipper killing array so easily. If it's that easy to break it, then it wouldn't be called an absolute formation." Seeing the apologetic smile on Han Xiao's face, Qiu Xin hurriedly said, he thought that Han Xiao was apologizing for not being able to think of a way to break the array.

"One thousand two hundred and ninety-six types of changes are indeed not easy to solve. Han Xiao, you don't need to feel too much pressure. If it doesn't work out, we will think of a way for you to subdue the Xiao family's army. Xi Yun said from the side.

"Xi Yun, you've already helped me a lot, and you've even brought out all of your subordinates. How can I let you go beg your father for me? Give me some time, I think I can think of a way to break this formation." Han Xiao said. With that, Han Xiao saw that Xi Yun still had more to say, so he directly said, "Xi Yun, I've already made up my mind, and you've helped me too much. Oh right, Captain Chou, can you draw out the location of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns in the formation? I want to see if I can find a way to break through the formation."

"Of course you can. Moreover, the location of the Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Array in the Xiao family's army is not a secret. Wait a moment." With that, Chou Xin lowered his head to look for his storage ring. After searching for a long time, he took out a piece of leather paper from his storage ring and handed it to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao took the piece of paper and opened it, and saw that there was clearly drawn on it the corresponding name and position of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns in the formation. Although it was an extremely simple map, Han Xiao knew that it contained the essence of the formation, and carefully stared at the diagram for a long time, as though he wanted to stare at a hole on the piece of paper, but unfortunately, he was unable to find any way to break through the formation.

Half a day later, Han Xiao accepted his fate and put away the map. He raised his head and said helplessly, "This Astral Slaughtering Formation is indeed marvelous. I was the one who thought it was too simple at the start."

"It's hard for even the marshal to know just how amazing the Heavenly Dipper Sword is. If it really was that simple, it wouldn't have been enough for the Xiao family to roam the battlefield for so many years." Chou Xin said with a faint smile. The pride in his voice when he spoke of the Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Array was something that could not be ignored.

Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "Captain Chou is right. If it was so easy to break through, the Heavenly Dipper Sword Formation would not be enough for the Xiao family to roam the battlefield for so many years."

"Your highness, I've been out for quite a while and I'm going back to camp. Do you want to come back with me?" Chou Xin asked.

Thinking back to how he had yet to greet Jiang Yao after returning, Jiang Yao nodded his head and said, "Yes, I really should go back with you. Otherwise, who knows what will happen to Jiang Junjun." With that, Han Xiao turned around apologetically and said to Xi Yun, "Xi Yun, you stay here for a while, I'll be back soon."

"If you want to leave, then leave, don't act like you're saying goodbye to your lover." Xi Yun impatiently waved his hand and said.

Seeing the impatience on Xi Yun's face, Han Xiao smirked and said, "Xi Yun, don't be so lonely, you could be considered my little boy." Before Han Xiao could finish, he saw Xi Yun's expression turn ugly. He swallowed his words and turned around. Then, he pulled Bai Feng and walked away, leaving Xi Yun staring angrily at his back.

On the other side of the imperial city, the sounds of footsteps were approaching. A pale golden figure walked quickly along the long corridor, and the usually noisy corridor was currently very quiet. He could even hear his breathing clearly.

Arriving at the entrance to the Cloud Emperor Hall, Han Yan Tian took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing before slowly pushing open the door and entering.

Han Yan Tian sensed a musty smell as he pushed open the doors to the Cloud Emperor's Palace. Frowning, he quickly walked in and saw a man lying on a bright yellow bed. In front of the bed was a man dressed in the uniform of a imperial bodyguard.

Han Yan Tian went forward to kick the guard, only to discover that he was no longer breathing. Han Yan Tian was startled and was about to pull the guard up when he heard a cold voice coming from the bed.

"I killed the spy that Han Zhao arranged for me." Han Xiangtian slowly sat up and said lightly.

Seeing that Han Xiangtian was still very weak, Han Yan Tian frowned and said, "Your majesty, you still look very weak. Could it be that the poison has destroyed your foundation?"

"Although the poison this time is very serious, it's not enough to destroy my foundation. Furthermore, I deliberately took the poison. I have full confidence in my ability to deal with it in advance." Han Xiangtian smiled faintly, but his pale face made his smile seem very pale.

"If it was just to train Han Xiao, did you really need to make yourself look like this? If I didn't bring the Nine Revolving Poison Pill back in time, although you were prepared, your cultivation would have dropped by a lot. At that time, if you lose your fighting strength again, we wouldn't even have a chance." Han Yan Tian said with dissatisfaction.

"Isn't Xiao'er our only hope? You have also seen him. You should know that Xiao'er's potential surpasses our imaginations. " Han Xiangtian said with a faint smile.

"Just because you believe Han Xiao, you decided to come here and let Han Zhao's ambitions develop. You even consumed a poisonous drug to force Han Xiao to provoke the future of the Yun Ming Empire and force him to ascend to the throne." Han Yan Tian said unhappily.

From Han Xiangtian, he found out that Han Xiao was indeed the one who did everything. At that time, he wanted to interrogate Han Zhao, but Han Xiangtian stopped him, telling him that he already knew Han Zhao's ambition. The poison he had also intentionally ingested to force Han Xiao to shoulder the burden of the Yun Ming Empire. Until now, he still didn't understand Han Xiangtian's intention for doing so. He even thought that Han Xiangtian was simply making fun of the future of the Yun Ming Dynasty.

"I know I should have discussed it with you before deciding, but it was an emergency and you had been out of the palace for many years, so I didn't tell you." Han Xiangtian had an apologetic smile on his face.

"This is not an emergency. It's been so many years, yet you still haven't changed your personality. You're still so crazy about everything. Previously, you didn't take your life seriously, but now, you're completely ignoring the Cloud Ming Empire." Han Yan Tian said unhappily.

He got angry when Han Xiangtian was mentioned, and looked at him viciously.

"Yan Tian, I know you're worried about me, but if I hadn't done that, Wen Zhenghua wouldn't have let down his guard and used all of the spies in the Cloud Ming Empire. He also wouldn't have arrogantly sent all of the people from the Shadow Sect to the Cloud Ming Empire, giving me the chance to eliminate all of them in one fell swoop." Han Xiangtian said.

"However, civil and political life is after all, an Immortal Transformation Stage cultivator, and you." Han Yan Tian said with some hesitation.

"Actually, I had already broken through to the Immortal Transformation Stage when Xiao'er was born. However, I've been hiding my cultivation from that old thief Wen Zhenghua and waiting for an opportunity. Now that I've finally obtained this opportunity, how can I give it up?" Han Xiangtian said.

Han Yan Tian was silent for a moment before he said, "Your majesty, Han Xiao is still just a child."

I also know that Xiao'er is still a child, but he is also the Crown Prince of the Yun Ming Dynasty. Perhaps in the future, he will blame me for bringing him into this mess, but I have no other way. I have waited for over twenty years for a chance to avenge Yun'er.

"I remember telling you, Han Xiao is very worried about you." Han Yan Tian slowly said.

"I know, Yan Tian. There is no need for you to say anymore. Since the situation has already reached such a stage, it is already too late for regret. I still need you to keep an eye out for me outside the palace." Han Xiangtian slowly laid back down after he finished his sentence. Apparently, he didn't want to continue.

Seeing that Han Xiangtian didn't want to continue, Han Yan Tian sighed helplessly and said, "You should also be careful." With that, he turned and left.

But Han Xiao, who was in the western gorge, didn't know what was happening in the palace, and he didn't know that half of his current situation was caused by Han Xiangtian.
