The 50th birthday celebration of the King of the Qin Empire soon came to an end. In the evening, Jianchen returned to his own palace after bidding farewell to all the influential figures.
Now that Jianchen was the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, his status was very different from before. In the imperial palace, he was allocated a luxurious palace decorated with gold and jade. The name of the palace was also changed to Qin Heaven Palace. Qin Heaven Palace was a name that could only be given to the palace where the Imperial Protector lived. Not only was it vast in scale, even the decorations and layout were much better than the Xingyun Palace where the Qin Ji lived.
Jianchen carried the White Tiger, who was still sleeping and digesting the medicinal effects, and arrived at his own Qin Heaven Palace accompanied by several palace maids. Looking at the splendid decorations around him, Jianchen was secretly speechless. The decorations of Qin Heaven Palace were too luxurious. Jianchen swore that he had never seen such a luxurious palace before.
"Lord Imperial Protector, let us servants help you bathe and change your clothes!" Several beautiful palace maids behind Jianchen whispered softly. They all looked at Jianchen's back with anticipation. These palace maids were all carefully selected by the King himself. They were all around 20 years old and were the most beautiful people in the palace. Not only were they heavenly beauties, they were also all virgins.
Jianchen looked back and forth at the splendid palace. He waved his hand at the palace maids behind him and said indifferently, "All of you are dismissed!"
"Lord Imperial Protector, don't you like us to serve you?" The palace maids looked at Jianchen pitifully with a faint desire in their eyes. Jianchen was so handsome and had such a high status as the Imperial Protector. To them, it was a great honor to be able to serve Jianchen.
"All of you are dismissed. I'm not used to being served. If there's anything else, I'll call for you." Jianchen's tone was very calm. After he finished speaking, he carried the White Tiger and walked towards his bedroom.
Looking at Jianchen's disappearing figure, the most outstanding and beautiful palace maids, who were carefully selected from the entire palace, could only reveal disappointed expressions. They then left with a regretful heart.
Outside Jianchen's Qin Tian Hall, five hundred imperial guards in golden armor were like stone statues. They solemnly guarded the surroundings, and every single one of them had an extremely proud expression. To be able to become the Imperial Protector's personal guard was a great honor to them. Their status in the entire imperial palace was incomparably respected. Other than the other four Imperial Protector's personal guards, it could be said that no other army had a higher status than them.
These imperial guards were all Great Saint Masters. They were led by five captains who were Earth Saint Masters and one general who was a Sixth Cycle Earth Saint Master. They guarded the surroundings of the Qin Tian Hall day and night. It could be said that they were Jianchen's personal army that was specially made to serve the Imperial Protector. Even the king was unable to command them.
The night quickly passed. Early the next morning, a captain's voice rang out from outside, "Reporting to the Imperial Protector, the third prince, Qin Ji, wishes to see you!"
Jian Chen had become the Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom. In just a single day, Jian Chen's status had become much higher than Qin Ji's. Now, if Qin Ji wanted to enter the Qin Heavenly Palace, he would need Jian Chen's permission.
Very soon, Jian Chen walked out from the Qin Sky Palace and personally invited Qin Ji in. This caused Qin Ji to be overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, causing him to feel extremely emotional.
Inside the Qin Tian Hall, Jianchen dismissed all the palace maids and then began to chat with Qin Ji. Qin Ji also excitedly congratulated Jianchen on becoming the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. He was truly happy for Jianchen from the bottom of his heart.
Jianchen also smiled as he exchanged pleasantries with Qin Ji. Although his status had changed greatly, it did not affect his mental state at all. He still treated Qin Ji as a friend because he knew that if Qin Ji had not invited him to attend his father's birthday celebration, he would not have such a high status.
"Jianchen, you are now the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. You can use the Spatial Gate whenever you want. However, I still hope that you can stay here for a while longer." Qin Ji and Jianchen sat opposite each other and smiled faintly.
Jianchen shook his head and said solemnly, "No, I'm in a hurry. Since I can use the Spatial Gate whenever I want, I'll leave now. The longer I delay, the more uneasy I feel."
"Jianchen, can you tell me why you're in such a hurry? Who knows, I might be able to come up with some ideas for you." Qin Ji asked with concern. Now that Jianchen's status had changed greatly, he had to do his best to curry favor with Jianchen.
Jianchen hesitated slightly when he heard that. He said, "That's my hometown. There's probably a war there right now. I need to hurry over as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Qin Ji's face also became somewhat stern. He then asked Jianchen about the strength of that region. After hearing that, he immediately relaxed and chuckled, "It's just a small matter. My Qin Empire only needs an army to deal with a few small countries. Jianchen, you can mobilize a million elites of my Qin Empire right now. Do you want to send reinforcements?"
"There's no need for that. This place is very far from my hometown. With my speed, it'll take me two or three months to get there. Coupled with the fact that the army moves extremely slowly, it'll probably be several years before they get there," Jianchen rejected without any hesitation.
"Then why don't you just take a few Imperial Protectors with you? With your status, even if you take all the Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire, no one will object. Don't worry, my Qin Empire still has four extremely powerful Imperial Protectors. There won't be any problems with your safety," Qin Ji suggested.
Jianchen hesitated when he heard that. He knew that the Kingdom of Gesun only had around ten Heaven Saint Masters, while the four kingdoms had twenty to thirty. The difference was just too great.
Seeing Jianchen's hesitation, Qin Ji knew that Jianchen was tempted. He immediately added fuel to the fire, "Jianchen, don't hesitate. Don't forget your current status. You have the authority to mobilize these forces."
Jianchen thought about it and nodded in the end. For safety's sake, he decided to take a few Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire with him.
"Jianchen, the movements of the Imperial Protectors are not restricted. Moreover, you were the one who gave the order this time, so there's no need to report it to my father. Just order the Imperial Protectors of the Qin Heavenly Hall to gather the Imperial Protectors." Qin Ji advised Jianchen. Jianchen did not understand the matters of the imperial palace and his authority as well as Qin Ji.
Afterward, Jianchen followed Qin Ji's suggestion and ordered the Imperial Protectors to invite the Imperial Protectors to the Qin Heavenly Hall. Very soon, over twenty Imperial Protectors of various ages gathered in the Qin Heavenly Hall. Although Jianchen was young, his status and strength were there for all to see. His great potential had already won the respect of all the Imperial Protectors. All the Imperial Protectors took advantage of the fact that the difference between them and Jianchen was not too great to try to befriend him. They knew that Jianchen's status had been personally appointed by one of the four Imperial Protectors. He would definitely become a Saint Ruler in the future and even have the chance to become a Holy Emperor. At that time, it would not be as easy for them to get close to him. Now was the perfect time to cultivate their relationship.
Jianchen told his thoughts to the Imperial Protectors. Immediately, all of them expressed their willingness to go with Jianchen. Their enthusiasm made Jianchen wonder who was the one asking for help between him and the Imperial Protectors. The feeling was completely reversed.
At this moment, a sage-like old man stepped forward and clasped his hands, "Imperial Protector, I am Xiao Tian. Xiao Han is my grandson. I heard yesterday that my useless grandson had actually offended you, Imperial Protector. I hope you can forgive my useless grandson. I have already locked him up and taught him a harsh lesson. Xiao Tian is willing to go with you, Imperial Protector, to atone for my grandson's sins. I hope you will allow it."
Jianchen immediately looked at Xiao Tian and carefully studied him. Xiao Tian wore white robes and had a sage-like demeanor. He had white hair and a ruddy complexion. His silver-white hair was tied into a knot above his head. He gave off a heroic aura that faintly gave off an aura of justice. He was very extraordinary.
"Is this the extremely talented Fifth Cycle Heaven Saint Master that Qin Ji spoke of?" Jianchen thought inside. Hearing about Xiao Tian was not as good as meeting him in person. After personally seeing Xiao Tian, Jianchen had a feeling that Xiao Tian would definitely achieve great things in the future. At the same time, he could vaguely sense an aura of justice from Xiao Tian.
This was definitely an open and aboveboard person, very different from his grandson, Xiao Han.
Although he thought like that, Jianchen's expression did not change. He clasped his hands and smiled, "Mister Xiao Tian must be joking. Jianchen has completely forgotten about your grandson. Since mister Xiao Tian is willing to go with me, Jianchen has no reason to disagree. Jianchen is extremely grateful for mister Xiao Tian's assistance."
Xiao Tian laughed heartily and said, "Imperial Protector is too modest. To be able to travel with mister Imperial Protector is my honor."
Afterwards, Jianchen chose four Imperial Protectors who were stronger and more reliable to go with him to the Kingdom of Gesun. After the selection, everyone left the Qin Heaven Hall together and walked towards the Space Gate under the lead of the third prince.
Out of the five Imperial Protectors that Jianchen brought, Xiao Tian was the strongest. He was a Fifth Cycle Heaven Saint Master. Out of the remaining four, two were in the Fourth Cycle and two were in the Third Cycle. Although these people were not the strongest among the Imperial Protectors, in Jianchen's heart, the five of them were the most trustworthy.
The Space Gate of the Qin Empire was at the center of the imperial palace. With Jianchen's current status, he did not need to report to anyone when using the Space Gate. He brought the five Imperial Protectors to the Space Gate. Immediately, two of the Imperial Protectors threw out a few Class 5 Monster Cores to activate the Space Gate. After quickly determining a general location, Jianchen and the five Imperial Protectors left the Qin Empire through the Space Gate.
