"I don't know."
Eunuch Liu shook his head. He was just a lackey who conveyed the decree of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Xia Wanan turned to look at the eunuch on the left, who lowered his head without saying a word. The expression on his face had already returned to normal.
"Let's go."
Xia Wanan did not ask any more questions.
The four of them then set off, and the three eunuchs walked beside Xia Wanan to lead the way to the Throne Room.
Xia Wanan knew that there had to be a reason for the abnormality. In the past, she and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty rarely saw each other and had never been summoned. Besides, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty summoned her in the Throne Room where the ministers were gathered.
She thought of the two killers last night and had an ominous premonition. She felt that something major must have happened that involved her.
However, she had already spent 20 years in the palace in obscurity. What major event could involve her?
[Detected that the player is currently at the Unnamed Lake of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you want to sign in here?]
Just as Xia Wanan was pondering and analyzing, a row of light screens suddenly popped up in front of her.
She glanced at the three eunuchs next to her calmly and saw that they did not react. She was certain that she was the only one who could see the light screen that popped up from the immortal artifact.
She silently made a choice: [Yes].
[Sign-in at the Unnamed Lake successful. Player is rewarded with a Profound Level Flame Palm.]
A wave of knowledge and experience related to martial arts was suddenly poured into Xia Wan 'an's mind. In less than a moment, she had completely absorbed this wave of knowledge and experience, and her mastery of the Raging Flame Palm had reached the point of mastery, as if she was a veteran who had been immersed in the Raging Flame Palm for decades.
"A Profound Level Flame Palm, not bad."
Xia Wanan was secretly satisfied with the reward for signing in this time.
Similar to the realm of cultivators, martial arts were divided into four levels according to their power: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Among them, Yellow Level Flame Palm was the most common and could be found in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion of the Great Xia Dynasty. Profound Level Flame Palm was much more powerful and rare. Even though Xia Wanan was a princess, she was not qualified to read Profound Level Flame Palm in the Kṣitigarbha Pavilion.
There was a fundamental difference between an Earth rank martial skill and a Profound rank martial skill. To be classified as an Earth rank martial skill, it would definitely have the terrifying power to massacre an entire city. Even in the entire Cangxuan Continent, the number of Earth rank martial skills was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Every empire would treat Earth rank martial skills as their top secret and would never divulge them to the outside world.
As for Heaven Grade martial skills, they could already be called Quasi Immortal Techniques, and they could easily destroy the heavens, the earth, burn mountains, and boil the sea. They only existed in Immortal Secret Realms, and there wasn't a single Imperial Dynasty or Immortal Cultivation Sect that possessed Heaven Grade martial skills.
…
"If I had gotten the Fire Palm last night, those two Weak Crown level assassins would have been able to kill me easily. I might even have been able to interrogate the mastermind."
Xia Wan reassured. Her interest in Black Grade martial techniques was not below that of the Small Revitalizing Pellet.
At this time, three eunuchs led her past the entrance of an imposing palace. She didn't know which concubine's residence it was.
[Detected that the player is currently in the Tranquility Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you wish to Sign-In here?]
Xia Wan 'an chose yes without hesitation.
[Sign-In at Tranquility Palace successful. Player is rewarded with 50 years of cultivation.]
An abnormally pure spiritual energy suddenly appeared in Xia Wan 'an's dantian, causing her cultivation level to skyrocket.
"You can even directly reward me with cultivation?"
Xia Wan 'an's eyes lit up.
It seemed that being summoned by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty this time was not entirely a bad thing for her. In a sense, there were also benefits. She could go to places that she usually couldn't go to to sign in.
At this moment, Xia Wan 'an hoped that the road to the throne room would be as long as possible. It would be best if she could walk around the entire palace and sign in wherever she could.
[Detected that the player is currently in the Black Tortoise Gate of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you wish to Sign-In here?]
[Sign-In at the Black Tortoise Gate successful. Player is rewarded with the Rebirth Elixir. Note: This elixir can allow cultivators to cleanse their marrow and bones and obtain top-notch cultivation aptitude.]
"This is also a good thing!"
[Detected that the player is currently in the Imperial Garden of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you wish to Sign-In here?]
[Sign-In at the Imperial Garden successful. Player is rewarded with immunity to poison.]
…
…
Just like that, under the lead of the three eunuchs, Xia Wan 'an had to sign in at every place she passed by. The rewards for signing in were also varied. Some were rewarded with pills, some with cultivation techniques, and some directly rewarded with cultivation.
Half an hour later, Xia Wan 'an successfully arrived at the throne room. At this moment, her cultivation level was only one step away from the establishment realm.
"Fourth Princess, please come in."
The three eunuchs completed the task of leading the way and stopped at the entrance of the main hall, gesturing for Xia Wan 'an to enter.
Xia Wan 'an took a deep breath. After living in the palace for so many years, it was her first time coming to the throne room. She raised her foot and stepped over the threshold.
At this moment, there were no less than a hundred civil and military officials gathered in the main hall. They all looked at Xia Wan 'an in unison. Some of the ministers had complicated expressions, while some looked emotional. In short, none of them were calm.
"Greetings, Father."
Xia Wan 'an walked straight to the middle of the ministers and bowed to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty expressionlessly.
[Detected that the player is currently in the Imperial Garden of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you wish to Sign-In here?]
[Sign-In at the Imperial Garden successful. Player is rewarded with the Great Dao Heaven Evolution Scripture. You can absorb the enlightenment of the Great Dao at all times.]
Boom!
The knowledge and experience of the Great Dao Heaven Evolution Sutra appeared in Xia Wan 'an's mind out of thin air, but she didn't dare to absorb it for the time being, for fear that she would immediately break through to the establishment realm after absorbing it.
…
"Wan 'er, you don't have to be so polite."
On the throne, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke.
He was a plump middle-aged man who was dressed in a gold-plated dragon robe. At this moment, he was looking at Xia Wan 'an with the loving gaze of a father.
It was the first time in Xia Wan 'an's life that her father looked at her with such a gaze, and the ominous premonition in her heart grew stronger.
"Wan 'er, let me introduce you, this is the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Rui."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said with a smile and pointed at a clean-shaven man below.
Wu Rui first bowed to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to show his respect before bowing to Xia Wan 'an. "Greetings, Fourth Princess. Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you a hundred times. Fourth Princess, you are indeed as beautiful as a flower!"
Xia Wan 'an looked at him without saying anything.
"Hah."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty laughed and explained.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has sent an envoy here this time to propose a marriage alliance with us. The crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Qian, once cultivated in the Liu Clan and is your grandfather's grand-disciple. He has some ties with you. In terms of seniority, you should address him as your Senior Brother."
Xia Wan 'an remained indifferent.
She should have long thought that the only person who could be involved with her was her grandfather who had passed away 20 years ago.
Before Su Feng died, he told her that her grandfather had once suppressed and dominated an era and was invincible in the Cangxuan Continent. He was recognized as the Martial Sage of the human world by the major dynasties and sects.
