10: When the news came out, the city of Yanjing was shaken, and the spiritual power turned nine hundred and ninety-nine times!

After roughly clearing the King Realm Battlefield, Han Yu rode his sword on the wind and vanished between heaven and earth.

After a long while, Qi Refiners arrived nearby. Seeing the ruined Green Mountain Sect, everyone swallowed hard.

The Green Mountain Sect had been annihilated!

The news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire Qingzhou in just a few days.

Great Yan Dynasty, Yan Capital City, First Prince's mansion.

"Bastard, absolute bastard! That person so brazenly annihilated the Green Mountain Sect, isn't he openly slapping This Prince's face?!"

First Prince, Ji Zhengyang, was filled with rage, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.

"Reporting to His Highness, our spies did not find any information about that Body Refiner from Sixth Prince. It's as if he appeared out of thin air!"

An old eunuch spoke grimly.

"What does that prove? Besides Old Six, who else has the strength and motive to target This Prince's forces?"

"Currently, in Qingzhou, besides one sect and one faction, three of the five major sects are already under This Prince's control, giving him enough power to crush Old Six!"

"Now that the Green Mountain Sect has been destroyed, he once again has the strength to compete with This Prince. Since he is unjust, This Prince cannot be blamed for being ruthless. Send word to the various Kings to recover our losses from the Cold Mountain Sect and the Iron Blade Sect!"

Hearing First Prince's words, the old eunuch showed a hint of hesitation. After some thought, he reminded him.

"Reporting to First Prince, the King Realm Battlefield is about to open. If a large-scale King Realm war erupts, causing too many King Realm losses, it might be detrimental to the National Luck of our Great Yan Dynasty!"

"If His Majesty, the Emperor learns of this, it will certainly not be good for the struggle for the throne!"

"Therefore, Your Highness, please consider the bigger picture!"

Ji Zhengyang was furious when he heard this, slamming his hand down and shattering the sandalwood table in front of him.

"Consider the bigger picture? Why don't you tell that to Ji Xingzhou?"

"Reporting to His Highness, the reason Sixth Prince dares to be so reckless is because that Body Refiner cannot be linked to him in any way. Otherwise, you could easily go to His Majesty, the Emperor and impeach him, and he would surely be punished for overstepping the rules and engaging in excessive internal strife!"

The old eunuch patiently explained. Ji Zhengyang, who had a fiery temper, finally managed to calm down after a long while, a fierce killing intent surfacing in his eyes.

"In that case, This Prince will simply not use people from our Great Yan Dynasty!"

Ji Zhengyang sneered. The old eunuch was startled, then immediately understood his master's meaning.

"Your Highness, you mean to borrow troops from the Great Xuan Dynasty's Crown Prince? But that Crown Prince is insatiably greedy. To borrow King Realm experts from him would come at a considerable cost!"

"Haha, I know that, but This Prince naturally has a way to save money."

A wicked smile curled on Ji Zhengyang's lips.

"Didn't that slut awaken a Saint Body? If I sell her to Xuan Fengye, it would be easy to exchange her for several King Realm experts to serve for several years!"

"It's only a matter of time before he becomes the Great Xuan Dynasty's Emperor. His position is already stable, so he will definitely not refuse this deal!"

At these words, the old eunuch was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected First Prince to choose to hand over a Saint Body Heavenly Talent of the Great Yan Dynasty. However, when he thought that it was His Highness the Ninth Princess, who was completely out of favor, he was relieved.

The Ninth Princess had always been disliked by His Majesty, the Emperor, and her fate was to be used for a political marriage anyway.

Even if His Majesty learned of First Prince's actions now, there would be no problem.

To become an Emperor, one must not be bothered by trifles.

"Give the order for the Five Poison Sect to act. Go to the Wandering Immortal Sect and secretly bring that slut back!"

Ji Zhengyang snorted as he spoke.

"Originally, I entrusted this matter to the Green Mountain Sect, but they failed to complete the task and were wiped out. What a bunch of useless people!"

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch frowned and immediately spoke.

"Your Highness, do you think that King Realm Body Refiner might be from the Wandering Immortal Sect? And attacked the Green Mountain Sect because of this matter?"

"Hahahaha, I think you're getting senile, aren't you? The Wandering Immortal Sect has always stayed out of the succession struggle. If this was their doing, then Old Six could directly become the Crown Prince. Why would he have to openly and secretly contend with me for so many years?"

Ji Zhengyang was dismissive. The old eunuch thought about it and also felt that it was unlikely.

Firstly, the Wandering Immortal Sect did not have Body Refiner inheritances. Secondly, it was highly unlikely that the Wandering Immortal Sect would offend First Prince over such a matter.

Even if he took a step back, there was no reason to directly annihilate the Green Mountain Sect.

"Then this old servant will issue the order for the Five Poison Sect to act!"

...Yan Capital City.

Sixth Prince's mansion, several laughs echoed.

"Good, good, good! Ji Zhengyang is truly unlucky. I wonder which esteemed expert he provoked, resulting in the direct loss of a King Realm expert. This struggle for the throne, This Prince has a few more chances of winning!"

A refined-looking young man laughed heartily, and the long-robed strategist beside him replied with a smile.

"First Prince acts ostentatiously and resorts to unscrupulous means, so it's normal for him to offend an esteemed expert."

"However, that mysterious Body Refiner who annihilated the Green Mountain Sect is incredibly enigmatic. First Prince can't find out his background, so he's probably going to blame it on Your Highness!"

Hearing the strategist's reminder, Ji Xingzhou was unconcerned.

"It doesn't matter. That esteemed expert solved the Green Mountain Sect problem for This Prince, so taking the blame for him is fine!"

"By the way, tell the people below to continue investigating the whereabouts of this esteemed expert. If we can bring him under This Prince's command, there will be great hope of seizing the Emperor's throne!"

"However, if you do find the esteemed expert's whereabouts, do not disturb him rashly. First, offer a generous reward to forge a good relationship!"

The strategist nodded, then said again.

"Your Highness, the people you sent to the Wandering Immortal Sect should be arriving soon. His Highness the Ninth Princess is aloof, and due to her mother's situation, she probably harbors resentment towards the Imperial Family, so it will likely be difficult to win her over!"

"It doesn't matter. If This Prince can't win over Little Nine, then the Eldest Brother certainly won't either. Even if Little Nine cannot be used by me, as her Imperial Brother, it is only right to send her some cultivation resources."

"She possesses a Saint Body, so one should befriend her, not antagonize her!"

Ji Xingzhou seemed very open-minded. The strategist increasingly felt that His Highness the Prince had great potential.

If it weren't for him being a full generation younger than First Prince, allowing the other party to seize many early opportunities, perhaps the position of Crown Prince would already be his...

Wandering Immortal Sect.

On Tian Jian Peak, where peach blossoms covered the mountains, a powerful aura burst forth from a dwelling, causing the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the nearby mountains and forests to tremble.

"Finally, I've completed the Nine Spiritual Force Revolutions. I'll soon be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. In terms of Qi Refiner cultivation, I've probably taken a huge step ahead of Senior Brother!"

Ji Yanling's pretty face was full of joy, a confident smile curving on her lips.

"However, to complete the Nine Spiritual Force Revolutions in just a few days, it's still because Senior Brother gave me so many cultivation resources, plus the help of those two hundred catties of Fire Spirit Liquid."

"My current achievements, Ji Yanling, are still inseparable from Senior Brother. I don't know how I'll ever repay him in the future!"

Thinking of repaying Senior Brother, the scene from that night resurfaced in Ji Yanling's mind, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.

"I really got carried away back then, actually using that kind of massage technique on Senior Brother. Thinking about it now, it's really embarrassing!"

To achieve 100% satisfaction from Han Yu, a playboy who had been through countless women, in terms of massage, how could it be so simple?

"It's all that broken system's fault for giving such strange missions. How am I supposed to face Senior Brother now?!"

"Forget it, I'll just continue cultivating and strive to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible!"

While Ji Yanling was lost in thought, under a hundred-year-old peach tree, Han Yu was drinking wine and humming a tune when the system sent another good report.

【Ding! Investment target Ji Yanling has completed the Nine Spiritual Force Revolutions. Target's current favorability is 88%, triggering a ten thousand-fold return!】

【Ding! Your spiritual root has received endless nourishment, exuding vibrant vitality, growing vigorously, and gradually transforming into a towering tree!】

【Ding! Your spiritual power has completed nine hundred and ninety-nine revolutions!】

Seeing the system prompt, Han Yu swallowed hard and looked inside his dantian.

Good heavens.

Other Qi Refiners' spiritual roots and nine strands of primordial spiritual power were probably only like ordinary flowers and plants in size.

Even extreme Qi Refiners who completed the Nine Spiritual Force Revolutions would at most have a small sapling.

But now, Han Yu's spiritual root had completely grown into a towering tree.

Even Immortal Platform Realm Qi Refiners, whose spiritual roots had been nourished by celestial power, could not reach this level.

Han Yu casually beckoned, and a wisp of incredibly solidified spiritual power swirled in his palm. He narrowed his eyes, pondering.

"I wonder if my spiritual power, having undergone nine hundred and ninety-nine revolutions, can be compared to the celestial power mastered by Immortal Platform Realm Qi Refiners?"

As Han Yu was wondering how to test it, the Peak Master Token in his storage ring vibrated frantically, indicating that someone was damaging a part of Tian Jian Peak's formation!

Han Yu's figure moved, transforming into an afterimage as he arrived at that location.

There were several Qi Refiners nearby, stealthily damaging the formation.

Han Yu's heart immediately filled with joy.

Didn't he just get a test subject?!
