The sacred golden dragon pulled the carriage and stepped into Emperor Xia's Palace. Emperor Xia looked down from the Ninth Heaven Palace, but the people of Emperor Li's Palace could not see him.
"What's the matter?" someone in the Celestial Palace asked.
"By the name of Emperor Li, Prince Li Yao of the Dali Dynasty is of marriageable age. I know that Princess Xia Qingyuan of Emperor Xia's Realm is of exceptional talent and looks, and I have come to Emperor Xia's Palace to ask Emperor Xia to bestow a marriage." Next to Li Yao, a powerful saint bowed to the celestial palace.
He was not worried that Emperor Xia would do anything to him. Emperor Xia was a Renhuang, and even when the two realms were at war, envoys were not killed. Renhuang figures would naturally not do anything that would lower their own status.
Xia Qingyuan was in her Princess Palace at the moment, and she heard the voice coming from below. That person's voice rang through the Nine Heavens, and everyone in Emperor Xia's Palace was able to hear the voice.
However, Xia Qingyuan's expression was calm and did not change at all. She naturally knew that the so-called marriage proposal was nothing more than an excuse. The other party probably had other motives for coming here.
"Li Yao, did Emperor Li ask you to look at yourself in the mirror before you left?" A voice came from the Ninth Heaven Palace, calm and unperturbed.
Li Yao didn't mind Emperor Xia's sarcasm at all. He bowed slightly and said, "Emperor Xia, no."
"Go back and tell Emperor Li that if he dares to mention the word 'marriage proposal' to humiliate Qingyuan again, even if he is an envoy, he will be beheaded." A majestic voice was heard from the Celestial Palace. Heavenly might seemed to have spread all over in an instant, pressing down on the people of Emperor Li's Palace. The eighteen dragons roared and trembled, seemingly wanting to prostrate themselves on the ground.
Emperor Xia's voice was so overbearing that he called Li Yao's proposal of marriage an insult to Xia Qingyuan. But although the people of Emperor Li's Realm were under the pressure of Renhuang, they did not show any signs of surprise, as if this was all within their expectations.
Renhuang figures were not to be provoked. It was no secret that Emperor Xia doted on Xia Qingyuan. Even Li Yao, the Prince of Emperor Li's Realm, was not worthy of his attention.
Moreover, there had always been friction between Emperor Xia's Realm and Emperor Li's Realm.
"The Prince and the Princess have met several times before, and they have always admired each other. That is why we asked Emperor Li for permission to come here. Even if Emperor Xia does not agree, there is no need to humiliate the Prince of Emperor Li's Realm." The saint at the side said loudly, "If Emperor Xia thinks so highly of the princess, then you must really be as talented as the rumors say, unparalleled in all of Emperor Li's Realm. There are many excellent cultivators in Emperor Li's Realm, and I would like to ask the princess for some advice."
"Impudent!" A cold, arrogant voice was heard, and an arrogant figure appeared in the void, floating above the crowd of Emperor Li's Realm. It was the Sacred General of Qian, one of the eight Sacred Generals. He glanced at the people of Emperor Li's Realm and said coldly, "The Princess is of high status. You can't just ask for advice just because you want to."
"If there is someone else who can fight on behalf of the Princess and defeat the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm, that would be fine as well," the people of Emperor Li's Realm said again, as if they had come here only to seek a fight.
Emperor Xia continued to sit on top of the celestial palace. His expression was calm as he said, "Get out."
Clearly, the Xia Emperor was ordering them to leave.
The cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm looked high up in the sky. They could not see where Emperor Xia was, and the saints did not dare to use their spiritual powers to look.
Although they spoke arrogantly, they knew very well where they were standing. It was the absolute center of Emperor Xia's Realm, Emperor Xia's Palace.
There was no way they would dare to do anything beyond the rules here. They were only there to complete their mission.
"Since Emperor Xia has asked us to leave, we will wait outside Emperor Xia's Palace to fight. If there is still no one from Emperor Xia's Realm to fight in three days, we will go back without needing Emperor Xia's order," the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm said loudly, and the group bowed and left Emperor Xia's Palace.
However, after stepping out of Emperor Xia's Palace, they did not leave. Instead, as they said, they set up camp outside Emperor Xia's Palace, which was a blatant provocation.
Emperor Xia had expelled them from the palace, and now that the envoys of Emperor Li's Realm were stationed outside the palace, Emperor Xia could not really order them to be executed.
Outside the palace, because of the golden dragon pulling the carriage, countless people came, and there was no telling how many people had gathered.
They had heard the conversation in Emperor Xia's Palace. The prince of Emperor Li's Realm had proposed marriage to Xia Qingyuan, and there was no way it would not cause a commotion.
However, Emperor Xia was overbearing, saying that if the other party dared to mention the matter again and insult the princess, even if they were envoys, they would be executed.
It was obvious that Emperor Xia really thought that the proposal of Li Yao from Emperor Li's Realm was an insult to his most beloved princess, and that Li Yao was not worthy.
As expected of Emperor Xia.
Everyone was thinking the same thing. What kind of person was the princess? Even Emperor Xia, the prince of Emperor Li's Realm, thought of her in such a way. Who would be able to catch the eye of Emperor Xia in the future?
The news of what happened here spread quickly to the outside, and soon, cultivators stepped out of Emperor Xia's Palace, led by the Sacred General of Qian, and walked towards the people of Emperor Li's Realm. There was a group of extraordinary young people beside him.
Soon, battles broke out under the witness of countless people.
The people from Emperor Li's Realm were all top-notch figures below the Saint Plane. Although the cultivators who came out of Emperor Xia's Palace were extremely powerful, they lost more than they won in the battle, and were completely suppressed.
What was really shocking was that everyone from Emperor Li's Realm seemed to have stepped into the level below the Saint Plane, and they were so powerful that one could feel a trace of the Divine Path from them.
Emperor Li's Realm sent such a powerful lineup to provoke them.
At the same time, it was also puzzling. Was Emperor Li's Realm really that terrifying? They seemed to be able to suppress the geniuses who came out of Emperor Xia's Palace.
They heard that Emperor Li founded the Dali Dynasty and ruled over Emperor Li's Realm. Everywhere under the sky belonged to him, and the people of Emperor Li's Realm were under his absolute rule. As such, it would have been easier for Emperor Li's Realm to mobilize people than for Emperor Xia's Realm.
At this time, in Emperor Xia's Palace, on top of the Ninth Level Celestial Palace, Emperor Xia sat there quietly, his eyes piercing through the layers of space, looking at the battlefield.
Next to Emperor Xia, there was a figure wearing a cloak standing there quietly, also staring at the battlefield below.
"The ten-year period is about to end, right?" Emperor Xia, who was sitting there, asked.
The cloaked figure next to him nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it will be after this year. The armies of Tian and Dou have begun to mobilize."
"Yes." Emperor Xia nodded slightly. "So they are here to test us. They came prepared. No wonder they were able to suppress our people."
"Forcibly changing their roots with the Divine Path, most of these people will stop there. Most of them are just pawns of Emperor Li," the cloaked figure said. Emperor Li's Realm came to provoke them, and the group who came was very powerful. He could naturally see that it was not only because of their own extraordinary talents, but also because they used some inhumane means to make some people at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane imbued with the power of half-saints, but it was equivalent to destroying their future.
Of course, it was also possible that these people were not strong enough to set foot on the Divine Path, and that was why they were chosen to become war machines.
"Should we let Tian Ji fight?" the cloaked figure asked. If Tian Ji and Princess Xia Qingyuan were to fight, there should be no problem.
Against these forcibly created cultivators, only those below the Saint Plane would be able to suppress them, and that would be half-saints.
"There's no rush. Let Tian Ji lead the others. However, there's no need to rush into the fight. Let the others get a feel of the enemy's combat prowess first. We might be facing them in the near future. As for Qingyuan, don't let her fight," Emperor Xia ordered.
"Understood." The cloaked figure nodded. Then, his figure gradually became illusory and disappeared.
News of the battle spread extremely quickly, causing a huge uproar. This was especially true for the top forces, who were the first to receive the news.
Many mighty ones set off in the direction of Emperor Xia's Palace.
The battle outside Emperor Xia's Palace lasted for several days, and the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm still had the absolute advantage, sweeping away the sages of Emperor Xia's Palace in a domineering manner. Countless people were shocked by the strength of the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm.
However, the Sage Realm figures could faintly see some clues.
Outside Emperor Xia's Palace, many disciples of the younger generations of top forces had gathered. Mighty ones from Divine Cloud Valley, Qin Palace, Xiao clan, Jiutian Temple, and many others had appeared, including some on the Jiutian Ranking. Some of them made a move, but the result was the same. They were crushed, and very few were victorious.
Those top notch figures had yet to make a move. Princess Xia Qingyuan and several of the strongest figures of Emperor Xia's Palace had yet to make a move. Xia Qingyuan had not even shown up yet, as if she had nothing to do with it.
Countless people in the Upper Worlds were talking about it, and Ye Futian naturally got the news as well. He came to Emperor Xia's Palace.
The reason was none other than Li Yao.
Many people noticed Ye Futian, and some people were talking about him. After all, Ye Futian was now considered a prominent figure.
After Ye Futian arrived, he looked at Li Yao, who was sitting on the carriage.
The battle at the Holy Zhi Palace years ago was so tragic because of Li Yao's crimes.
Saint Zhi and the nine mighty ones were all arranged by Li Yao. If Saint Zhi had not made a move, Jieyu would not have left.
Therefore, it could be said that Li Yao was the one who killed Jieyu. How could he not come?
Not only was he there, but Gongsun Zhong, Qin Bai, and the others were also there.
At the same time, in the 33rd Layer of Heaven of Lihen Heaven.
A figure stood there quietly, but sword will of the great path flowed between heaven and earth, surrounding him.
Behind him, several people stood there, murmuring to him, telling him the latest news of what had happened in Emperor Xia's Realm.
"Are the people from Emperor Li's Realm very strong?" the young man asked.
"Some elders said that the people from Emperor Li's Realm had forcibly used the Divine Path to enter the Semi-Saint Plane. Unless someone of the Ultimate Plane below Saint Plane made a move, it would be very difficult to suppress," the person behind him said.
"Semi-Saint?"
The young man murmured, looking calm. He looked up at the void, and suddenly sword will flowed, as if gathering from beyond the sky.
"Swords," the young man said loudly, piercing through the Nine Heavens. In an instant, tens of thousands of swords flew and descended in front of the young man.
He stepped out and walked on the swords, breaking through the air in an instant. Sword aura crisscrossed, breaking through the void and moving as fast as lightning.
In Lihen Heaven, at this moment, many people looked up at the spectacular scene in the void, and their hearts trembled.
Brother is probably only one step away from the Divine Path, right?
On this day, Wang Chuan, the number one below Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven, descended to the 33rd Layer of Heaven!
