48: Rapid breakthrough, nine-colored nascent soul!

Great Xia.

A massive city, even grander than Yunzhou, stood here, exuding an ancient aura.

This was the Imperial Capital of Great Xia, the royal city that governed the Nine Provinces.

In the western part of the city, at Prince Qians Residence, palaces and pavilions were scattered like stars, all resplendent and magnificent. In front of the majestic main gate stood two white jade lions, each holding a luminous pearl in its mouth, showcasing their grandeur.

This was the residence of the Great Xia Emperor's younger brother, Xia Qiankun, a High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster who had achieved his Realm hundreds of years ago!

He was also the person with the most support for the Great Xia Imperial throne!

At this moment.

Inside the front courtyard.

It was extremely quiet. There were no servants or Servant Girls coming and going as usual, only three figures casually treading on the green jade flagstones, their conversation, if spread, would surely shock the entire Great Xia.

"Prince Qian, do you think it's suitable for Miss Xia to be a concubine to this little Disciple of mine?"

A handsome young man in a golden robe, with a purple bamboo jade flute hanging from his waist, smiled. His pair of eerie vertical pupils revealed a hint of indifference, and his every gesture exuded an air of superiority.

With every step he took, a lotus flower would bloom in the rippling pond, a truly bizarre sight.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a black python robe with graying temples immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "To be able to marry the Azure Light Cave Master's personal Disciple is naturally Youyue's good fortune."

Behind the two, a cold, red-armored figure exuded intimidating dominance, his crimson cloak swaying in the wind. A cold, handsome young man's lips curled into a sneer as he disdainfully glanced at Xia Qiankun's humble demeanor before his Revered Master.

What High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster nonsense!

Isn't he still like a dog in front of my Revered Master?

How ridiculous!

Only fools would Cultivate their Physical Body.

"You're quite sensible," the Azure Light Cave Master glanced at Xia Qiankun, chuckling softly.

"Alright then, I'll leave this matter for you to handle, how about it?"

Xia Qiankun lowered his posture even further and said with a smile, "It's my duty!"

"Then it's settled. Once this matter is handled, I will naturally resolve those hidden dangers for you, allowing you to firmly sit on the Imperial throne of the Human Race's last Dynasty..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiankun's expression became incredibly excited as he cupped his hands, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

"Many thanks, Lord Azure Light!"

Immediately after, Xia Qiankun led the Azure Light Cave Master and his Disciple to a quiet courtyard to rest, then turned and left.

"Revered Master, I don't fancy her," Nalan Ming said arrogantly, standing behind the Azure Light Cave Master, his tone disdainful.

In his opinion, how could a princess of a mortal Dynasty be worthy of him, a favored son of heaven?

The Azure Light Cave Master smiled slightly and said, "Is it that you don't fancy her, or are you still thinking about your fiancée with whom you made a three-year agreement?"

"How could that be!" Nalan Ming's tone was resolute, then he sneered, "That Xiao Qinger is already a cripple, is she even worthy of my lingering thoughts?"

The Azure Light Cave Master smiled indifferently, saying nothing, but after a long silence, he spoke.

"This Elder Princess of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty is not simple. If not for that incident back then, her talent would far surpass yours, and even the transcendent powers of Eastern Profound would have extended an olive branch to her..."

Nalan Ming frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased, but still did not interrupt the Azure Light Cave Master.

"Moreover, marrying her also has the meaning of your Senior Martial Uncle..."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Ming was stunned and exclaimed, "Senior Martial Uncle!"

His Senior Martial Uncle was precisely the Revered Master of Xuan Guang Cave, and also the strongest person in Great Xia!

It was said that he had long entered an unknown Realm, constantly hidden within the Xuan Guang Cave Holy Land.

He truly hadn't expected it to be his intention!

"Since it is Senior Martial Uncle and Revered Master's intention, this Disciple will naturally obey!" Nalan Ming lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Anyway, it was just marrying a concubine, so it didn't matter.

The Azure Light Cave Master said helplessly, "Alright, don't look so gloomy. From what I know, the Xia family's princess is known as the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Capital. Don't act coy when you've already gotten a good deal."

"Oh, right, go to the Great Xia Martial Temple and have them open the Dragon Transformation Pool for you to use..."

"Ah, Revered Master, isn't this for Body Cultivators? And doesn't Great Xia have a rule that only those from the Demon Suppression Division are qualified to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool?" Nalan Ming was a bit confused. What would he, a pure Cultivator, do at the Dragon Transformation Pool?

Just to take a bath?

"If I tell you to go, you go. Why so many questions?"

"As for those rules, haven't I taught you?"

"In Great Xia, my Xuan Guang Cave is the biggest rule!"

The Azure Light Cave Master's expression was indifferent, exuding domineering power.

At the same time.

In the Great Hall of Deliberation.

Xia Qiankun summoned his trusted aides and many ministers to discuss the matter of Xia Youyue marrying into Xuan Guang Cave.

"Your Highness, it is true. Princess Your Highness has used the Imperial Family's resources for so many years, it is indeed time for her to contribute. Moreover, it's just marrying, not a difficult matter."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

After receiving the approval of the ministers, Xia Qiankun revealed a cold smile and said, "Where is Young Master Your Highness?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Young Master Your Highness went to Yunzhou to eliminate demons a few days ago. Today, a message came back saying he would bring someone into the Dragon Transformation Pool and will arrive in the Imperial Capital soon." A figure knelt on one knee and replied.

"Is that person from the Demon Suppression Division?"

"The Princess's letter says... no."

"Heh heh!"

"Bringing an outsider into the Dragon Transformation Pool?"

"Young Master Your Highness truly has great authority!" Xia Qiankun had a hint of anger, cold glints dancing in his eyes.

In his opinion, after his brother's death, this Great Xia should rightfully be his.

No one could touch anything without his permission.

Allowing someone to use the Dragon Transformation Pool wouldn't have a significant impact, but doing so without his permission was unacceptable.

"Then bring some people and make the Princess understand. How can the Great Xia Imperial Family's possessions be used by outsiders?"

"Yes!"

At this moment.

Only a few breaths away from the Imperial Capital, a flying boat suddenly stopped, suspended in the sky.

On it, Shen Nian was still feeling his improvement.

"My spiritual power has increased by a full ten times!" Shen Nian couldn't help but be stunned, especially when he felt that his Divine Sense limit had actually reached nine thousand zhang!

What kind of concept was this!

He had only been at two thousand before, and now it had increased several times over!

This was the Divine Sense limit that only a Nascent Soul Great Late Stage Cultivator could possess!

"No wonder it defied the heavens..." Shen Nian took a deep breath, suppressing his excited emotions, feeling extremely satisfied.

He had originally planned to give up on ascending his Golden Core, but somehow, he accidentally managed to raise it directly.

This... makes sense, I have a cheat, so isn't it a bit outrageous and abnormal?

Now he could finally raise his Realm.

"In a hundred years, what Realm can I reach with my talent?" Shen Nian couldn't help but feel a little curious.

[Ding, in the tenth year, the Infant is form, the Nascent is spirit. In just ten years, you have advanced from Late Golden Core Stage to Golden Core Perfection, reaching the stage of Nascent Soul transformation. This is still with the slow progress of a Divine Grade Golden Core.]

[In the twentieth year, you formed a Nine-Colored Nascent Soul, attracting a Lightning Tribulation.]
