It was precisely because the various great clans were unable to stay out of this matter that the sudden rise of Chu Wuming made the various great clans understand that the person who originally seemed to have been eliminated was now like a dark horse charging out of the encirclement. In this way, the three princes would probably have to face another reshuffling.
In the Feng Family of the Gong Prince's Mansion, after some discussion, Feng Dan, as the head of the family, finally made the decision. "Let's wait and see. There's no need to rush into a decision."
The rise of the Third Prince was inevitable, but the situation was still unclear, so the Feng Family decided to wait and see.
Like the Feng Family, the other three princes' clans also chose to wait and see.
The entire Moonless Empire was surging with undercurrents because of the appearance of the Burning Sky Ruler. Although it was still calm on the surface, the real storm had already begun to brew in secret.
However, Chu Wuming and the other two princes didn't make the slightest move in the face of such undercurrents. Everyone was very quiet. Since the three princes didn't make a move, the great clans naturally chose to bide their time.
In the Heavenly Stellar Residence, Chu Wuming came almost every day recently. If there wasn't anything important, he would chat idly with Xiao Chen. Back then, besides chatting, Chu Wuming had also sent a lot of cultivation resources.
Although these cultivation resources weren't particularly precious and weren't of much use to the Burning Sky Ruler, they were extremely helpful to the martial artists below, especially Xiao Chen. With Chu Wuming's cultivation resources, Xiao Chen's cultivation had already reached the limit of the Sky Realm. If he wanted to improve, he could only break through to the Dao Querying Realm. However, if he wanted to break through to the Dao Querying Realm, just the improvement of his spiritual power wasn't enough. He had to find his own martial dao to succeed.
Martial artists below the Dao Querying Realm cultivated martial arts, while martial artists above the Dao Querying Realm cultivated dao. This was a well-known fact among all martial artists. Therefore, if he wanted to break through to the Dao Querying Realm, he had to find his own martial dao path.
Sitting opposite Xiao Chen in the garden, Chu Wuming smiled at Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao, I see that you are about to break through to the Dao Querying Realm."
"Indeed, but how can breaking through to the Dao Querying Realm be so easy? This is a watershed, a watershed between martial arts and dao. Right now, cultivation resources are of little use to me. I can only rely on myself." Upon hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.
Breaking through to the Dao Querying Realm was very difficult indeed. It was like a Dao Emperor Realm expert breaking through to the Saint Realm. Once he succeeded, he would soar into the sky; if he failed, then he could only be obliterated.
Martial arts were superficial and one-sided, but dao was all-encompassing. It was difficult to touch and even more difficult to explain. Therefore, many Heaven Realm martial artists were stuck at the Dao Querying Realm for their entire lives. They did not break through until they died. This was because no one could help them pursue the martial dao. They could only rely on their own comprehension.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming nodded slightly. However, he then said mysteriously, "Brother Xiao is right. It is indeed very difficult to break through to the Dao Querying Realm. It is not something that can be achieved by just cultivating bitterly. However, I know a place that can give Brother Xiao at least an 80% chance of breaking through to the Dao Querying Realm."
"Oh." Upon hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen's interest was piqued.
Chu Wuming did not beat around the bush. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, he spoke. According to him, there was a secret realm in the Royal Academy of the Moonless Empire. This secret realm was an independent small world. Entering it was like entering an endless reincarnation. Inside, everyone seemed to have been reborn. They would start a new life and experience new things. Of course, all of this was fake.
It was also in such a virtual reincarnation that warriors could better find their own martial arts path. Therefore, in the Moonless Empire, almost all Celestial Realm warriors would seek to break through to the Dao Querying Realm here. This secret realm was called the Path of Dao by the Royal Family.
Xiao Chen was naturally very interested in this. Although Xiao Chen could break through to the Dao Querying Realm without using the Path of Dao, he would definitely waste a lot of time. Now, Chu Wuming had said that the Path of Dao would open in five days. As such, Xiao Chen was naturally willing to enter the Path of Dao.
As for the conditions required to enter the Path of Dao, Xiao Chen was not worried at all. With Chu Wuming around, it was very easy to obtain a spot to enter the Path of Dao.
After chatting with Xiao Chen for around two hours, Chu Wuming stood up and bid farewell. However, before he left, he reminded Xiao Chen that the Blessings Ceremony was tomorrow and that he should not forget the time.
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded when he heard Chu Wuming's reminder. After sending off Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen continued to cultivate.
A day passed very quickly. Early the next morning, the Scorching Sky Ruler led Xiao Chen and Zhang Qi out of the Heavenly Stellar Residence and hurried towards the Royal Palace.
There was a Heavenly Platform in the Royal Palace that was specially used for various ceremonies. The Blessings Ceremony was naturally held there as well.
The sky had only just brightened when the nobles and ministers of the Moonless Empire arrived one after another.
Over a thousand temple servants and palace maids bustled about. Below the Heavenly Platform, over a thousand short tables and prayer mats had been set up for the various lords to sit.
Every time a person arrived, there would be a sharp shout from the temple, and at the same time, a palace maid would lead them to their seat.
Seeing that more and more people were arriving, all of the Moonless Empire's courtiers and noble families were gathered here today. The Blessings Hall, the Retired Emperor's coronation, this was the most important event in the entire Moonless Empire, no one dared to be absent.
Just as everyone was taking their seats and chatting with each other, a sharp voice from the temple called out, "The Gong Prince has arrived."
At this time, almost all of the officials and family heads had arrived, including the Eight Great Dukes, and now, it was finally the Four Great Princes' turn.
The first to arrive was the Gong Prince Feng Dan. Seeing the Gong Prince arrive, everyone saluted, and Feng Dan smiled and nodded in response.
Following the Gong Prince's arrival, Jin Prince, Wu Prince, and Yan Prince also arrived in succession. The four of them were placed side by side at the front, slightly behind Chu Mu.
At this time, the Four Great Princes were sitting side by side. Wu Prince looked at the other three and smiled, "Today, my Moonless Empire has attracted another Retired Emperor, this is truly a gift from the heavens."
"Haha, that's right. Looking at Wu Prince's appearance, could it be that you've already made your decision?" Hearing Wu Prince's words, Yan Prince smiled and replied, at the same time saying a sentence with deep meaning.
"Could it be that the three of you have different thoughts from me?" Hearing Yan Prince's words, Wu Prince smiled.
Following Wu Prince's words, the Four Great Princes all laughed heartily, and then didn't say anything else. They were all experienced people, and all of them knew the true meaning of each other's words. Facing the upcoming battle for the position of Crown Prince, the Four Great Princes' choice was surprisingly unanimous, and that was to wait and see.
