333: Prince Dawu's Plan

After understanding this information, the Great Wu Crown Prince realized that the most important thing at present was to find a way to get people into this special area as soon as possible.

The earlier they entered, the greater the chance they would have to seize this special area first.

His biggest advantage right now was that he had more relevant information about this special area than the Three Heavenly Kings.

Of course, with the status and capabilities of the Three Heavenly Kings, even if they didn't figure out how to enter this special area for a while, given enough time, they would gradually discover it.

Therefore, the most crucial thing at present was to get people into this special area before them to seize the initiative.

Through the information provided by the Imperial Guard, the Great Wu Crown Prince had realized that when the Martial Emperor created this special area, he integrated the entire Great Wu Dynasty.

This made this special area connected to many ordinary areas within the Imperial Domain, as well as to the Great Wu Dynasty's destiny and the number of Saints.

"Under normal circumstances, the quotas for entering this special area from each region will be decided by the Saints within their respective regions," the Imperial Guard in the dark said.

Decided by these Saints?

The Great Wu Crown Prince instinctively frowned.

This meant that he couldn't personally designate the people who would enter this special area.

He had originally thought that these quotas were in the hands of him, the Great Wu Dynasty's decision-maker.

But he never expected that it would be up to the Saints in each region to decide the candidates for entry.

This was a bit troublesome.

If he could decide the candidates, he could immediately designate a group of people to enter the special area and seize the initiative.

But if it had to be designated by each Saint, he would need to inform these Saints first, telling them about the matter.

This way, it would be very difficult for him to keep it a secret from the Three Heavenly Kings.

The Great Wu Crown Prince knew very well that once he told these Saints of the Great Wu Dynasty about this matter, there would certainly be some among them who would relay it to the Three Heavenly Kings.

Over the years, the reason the Three Heavenly Kings were so well-informed about many matters concerning the Great Wu Dynasty was not only because there were hidden agents left by the Three Heavenly Kings within the Great Wu Dynasty, but also because some Saints of the Great Wu Dynasty could contact the Three Heavenly Kings at any time.

These Saints were not disloyal to the Great Wu Dynasty.

Rather, by selling this information, they could gain benefits from the Three Heavenly Kings.

For example, if they learned about this special area, they could choose to sell this information to the Three Heavenly Kings in exchange for profit and benefits.

Of course, if it concerned a major event related to the survival of the Great Wu Dynasty, they would naturally not leak it.

But for news that would not plunge the Great Wu Dynasty into a life-or-death situation, they could entirely use the sale of information to seek personal gain and benefits.

In this regard, while the Great Wu Crown Prince was well aware of it, he could not stop it.

He could only turn a blind eye.

In fact, the Great Wu Crown Prince even encouraged these Saints to do so in the past.

In his opinion, this was a way to obtain treasures and resources from the Three Great Domains.

For the current Great Wu Dynasty, it was indeed unable to produce too many treasures that could enhance Saints.

Through this information, they could obtain treasures from the Three Heavenly Kings to strengthen their own Saints, which the Great Wu Crown Prince certainly considered a gain.

At the same time, he had no worries that these Saints would commit acts of betrayal.

Whether it was the existence of the great wu mark or the domains refined by these Saints, it was destined that they could not leave the Great Wu Dynasty, and betrayal was impossible.

However, the current situation gave the Great Wu Crown Prince a headache.

As long as the quotas for entering this special area were decided by these Saints, he could not hide it from them; he would inevitably have to inform them.

"Since it cannot be hidden, then I might as well directly inform those three fellows and first exchange it for benefits from them."

A sharp glint flashed in the Great Wu Crown Prince's eyes.

He decided to proactively contact the Three Heavenly Kings, proposing a transaction.

Soon, after the Great Wu Crown Prince and the Three Heavenly Kings reached a certain agreement, he immediately issued a proclamation within the Great Wu Dynasty, summoning the refiners from all areas of the Great Wu Dynasty.

This included not only various Saints but also Dao Masters like Chen Yuan and Cheng Riyou.

After all, Dao Masters like Chen Yuan and Cheng Riyou also possessed their own domains within the Great Wu Dynasty.

A Saint's domain would not disappear simply because he broke through to become a Saint.

It was just that after a Saint broke through to a Dao Master, he would no longer rely on the power of the domain.

At this time, those who received the Great Wu Crown Prince's proclamation also realized that the proclamation must be related to the massive landmass now appearing in the sky above.

Upon receiving the proclamation, they all rushed to the Martial Emperor Imperial City, to the huge plaza in the imperial palace, as quickly as possible.

The Great Wu Crown Prince looked at the Saints standing below.

He told them everything about this special area.

When everyone learned that this special area was a powerful area created by the Martial Emperor, their hearts were filled with an incredibly strong shock.

At the same time, they understood even more that whoever could refine this area would have the opportunity to become the strongest Saint!

This left the Saints deeply shaken, but also made them feel a sense of regret for themselves.

They felt as if they were born at the wrong time.

They had all successfully refined an area and become Saints, so they naturally could no longer participate in the competition for this special area to contend for the strongest Saint.

However, Chen Yuan and Cheng Riyou's hearts stirred.

They felt that if someone from their respective factions could refine this powerful area and thereby become the strongest Saint, then their factions would undoubtedly achieve an immense boost!

Especially Cheng Riyou, his inner hopes were the strongest.

Rong Sufei's previous failure had already caused their Martial Pavilion to fall behind the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the number of Saints.

If their Martial Pavilion could refine this special area this time and create a strongest Saint, then all their previous failures could be redeemed at once.

Not only that, but this was not just an ordinary Saint, but the strongest Saint!

He could almost be regarded as half a Dao Master.

This made Cheng Riyou's heart burn with anticipation.

"This time, in addition to our Great Wu Dynasty, the Three Great Domains will also participate..."

"You must know that this special area was created by the Martial Emperor and belongs to our Great Wu Dynasty. No matter what, we cannot let this special area fall into the hands of those Three Heavenly Kings!"

The Great Wu Crown Prince said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, clearly understanding the importance of this special area.

At the same time, because each Saint's region only had one quota to enter this special area, the Great Wu Crown Prince requested these Saints to be extremely cautious in their selection of personnel.

Besides this, the Great Wu Crown Prince had an even more important purpose in issuing this proclamation to the Saints.

"The method to contend for this special area is undoubtedly to refine it... Although we don't know what exists within this special area or how it needs to be refined, one thing is certain..."

"As a unique and powerful area, refining this special area will undoubtedly be more difficult than refining an ordinary area."

"Especially since we also have to contend with those from the Three Great Domains."

"Therefore..."

"To prevent this area from falling into the hands of those Three Heavenly Kings, I believe it is necessary for us to adopt a 'many protect one' strategy this time!"

"The 'many protect one' strategy means that among all those who enter this special area, we will select the one with the most hope of securing this special area, and everyone else will fully assist, ensuring that this person can refine this special area."

As soon as the Great Wu Crown Prince's words came out, many people immediately frowned.

If they followed the Great Wu Crown Prince's plan, most of those who entered would just be supporting characters from the very beginning.

For these people, they might not be willing.

After all, the immense appeal of this special area to all Martial Demon Realm cultivators was enough to drive them mad.

If Saints couldn't re-cultivate, perhaps a portion of these Saints would even choose to re-cultivate to contend for this special area.

The more they understood about Saints, the clearer they were about the immense value of this area.

No one was willing to give up such an opportunity.

But from the perspective of the Great Wu Dynasty, the method proposed by the Great Wu Crown Prince was indeed the most likely to succeed.

If the cultivators who entered were all operating independently and were a disorganized mess, the Great Wu Dynasty might not be able to secure this area.

"All those who provide assistance will receive different rewards based on their level of contribution," the Great Wu Crown Prince said in a deep voice.

His words contained no intention of discussing with everyone; it was merely to inform them, so that in their subsequent personnel selection, they would follow the requirements he had set.

"You have three days to select personnel. Once selected, I will choose the most outstanding and most promising person among your chosen personnel to be the refiner for this time, and the rest will provide full assistance."

The Great Wu Crown Prince was not worried that the Three Great Domains would enter the special area before them.

Through the information provided by the Imperial Guard, he learned that to enter this special area, the designated people from all regions must enter simultaneously.

If even one region was missing, no one else could enter.

Therefore, there would definitely not be a situation where someone entered ahead of time.

As for the unrefined areas within the Imperial Domain, the Great Wu Crown Prince would designate the candidates.

Prior to this, the Great Wu Crown Prince had already agreed with the other Three Heavenly Kings that they would simultaneously allow these chosen individuals to enter this special area three days later.

That day, the Saints rushed back to their respective domains and began selecting personnel within their domains.

After Xiang Zizhen returned to the Nan Dou Region, he immediately found Xiao Shi and told him the details of the matter.

Xiao Shi had previously noticed the massive landmass appearing in the sky above.

However, he did not know that this massive landmass was actually composed of many differentiated areas of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Now, knowing that this massive landmass was a special area created by the Martial Emperor, Xiao Shi was also moved by it.

Currently, he was worried about not having an area to refine next.

The appearance of this area happened to solve his predicament.

Most importantly, this area was different from ordinary areas.

As long as he refined it, he would have hope of becoming the strongest Saint.

This was incredibly important to Xiao Shi.

After all, he had always pursued being the strongest in every realm.

Only by becoming the strongest in each realm could he wear the Emperors Armor.

The subsequent Saint Realm was naturally no exception.

However, with his current cultivation progress, it was not yet time for him to break through to Saint, and he had not even entered the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm.

Contending for refinement at this time was a bit too early.

But through Xiang Zizhen's narration, Xiao Shi also knew that if he didn't go now, there would definitely be no such opportunity later.

"My intention is also to choose you to go, but the Great Wu Crown Prince will not possibly select you as the refiner candidate. When you go, you can only assist..." Xiang Zizhen expressed his concern.

In his heart, he naturally hoped that Xiao Shi could refine this special area and become the strongest Saint.

But given the animosity he had previously formed with the Great Wu Crown Prince, even if Xiao Shi's conditions made him the best candidate to refine this special area, the Great Wu Crown Prince would definitely not choose someone from his own region.

If it was just to go and assist, then in Xiang Zizhen's opinion, there was no need.

Even if the Great Wu Crown Prince would reward those who assisted, after experiencing how the Great Wu Crown Prince treated meritorious officials, Xiang Zizhen had no confidence that the Great Wu Crown Prince would give any particularly good rewards.

Xiao Shi also realized this problem.

In fact, even if there was no conflict between Xiang Zizhen and the Great Wu Crown Prince, given Xiao Shi's style of action, he would not possibly display his true strength in front of the Great Wu Crown Prince.

This naturally meant he could not become the best candidate to refine this special area.

"Then I can only go there and contend for it myself, without assisting..." Xiao Shi mused.

Although such an action would once again defy and disobey the Great Wu Crown Prince, for Xiao Shi, who had already decided not to pledge allegiance to the Great Wu Dynasty, he had no obligation to follow the Great Wu Crown Prince's arrangements.

No matter how great his contributions to the Great Wu Dynasty, they could not compare to the Great Wu Crown Prince's own power.

Such a Great Wu Dynasty, why should he pledge allegiance to it?

"I'm not worried about you defying the Great Wu Crown Prince; after all, we've already defied him once, and we're not afraid of a second time. What I'm worried about... is that the Great Wu Crown Prince will use some means to prevent you from not assisting," Xiang Zizhen said in a deep voice.

After all, in front of such a huge opportunity, he didn't believe that anyone would truly be willing to assist others.

Even if the Great Wu Crown Prince offered benefits, could any benefit be greater than this special area that could make one the strongest Saint?

The Great Wu Crown Prince must also know this.

His decision must be backed by some powerful means to ensure that those who enter cannot defy his arrangements.
