272: Dayan Empire

Tianwu Imperial Domain, Wuqian Empire!

Since unifying the Tianwu Imperial Domain, the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect transformed from an ordinary Emperor Sect into one of the top superpowers in the Nanming Divine Continent, second to none. With the backing of mysterious forces, its prestige was immeasurable!

Today, the capital of the Wuqian Empire was adorned with lanterns and festive decorations, because in three days, it would be the full moon banquet for the Wuqian Empire's first Imperial Prince.

It was said that when this Imperial Prince was born, an auspicious phenomenon of an Emperor descending upon the Nine Heavens appeared. This was one of the phenomena signifying the potential of a Great Emperor, proving that this Imperial Prince had the hope of achieving the status of a Great Emperor in the future.

Of course, there was more sighing than anything else. If this Imperial Prince had been born decades earlier, he might have caught up with this grand era. But he was born a bit late; by the time he grew up, the Mandate of Heaven Contention would have long passed.

If there was a world-spanning land, that would be another matter, but such a secret realm was not something even a superpower necessarily possessed.

However, with such talent and being the Empire's first Imperial Prince, this Imperial Prince was imbued with some special significance. If no accidents occurred, the future helmsman of the Empire would be this child.

Therefore, all forces in the entire Emperor Domain eligible to participate had arrived in the Imperial Capital early to attend today's full moon banquet.

The Wuqian Empire also attached great importance to this birthday banquet, so preparations for this grand feast began the day after the Imperial Prince's birth.

The number of invited guests would certainly not be less than a million. After all, various forces would consciously bring their younger generations along, firstly to gain experience and interact with their peers, and secondly to see if they could secure a position in the Empire for their younger generations.

Given the Wuqian Empire's emphasis, it naturally wouldn't treat this banquet perfunctorily. Therefore, the various delicacies in the banquet alone constituted a massive resource that could turn an ordinary Emperor Sect into a pauper.

Within the Imperial Palace, all buildings were constructed from various precious Materials of Rank 7 Quasi-Emperor grade and above. The paving bricks were at least Rank 6 Saint Materials. Coupled with the gathered national destiny of the entire Emperor Domain, the Imperial Palace exuded an invisible aura of nobility and majesty.

“With such fortune, even without my help, the Wuqian Empire is bound to produce a Great Emperor in the future!”

At this moment, above the Wuqian Imperial Palace, Xu Qing was observing the fortune of the entire Wuqian Empire using a Qi observation technique. He found that the national destiny Dragon of the Wuqian Empire had already reached thirty million feet, which was comparable to some Peak forces.

Looking at the bustling crowd below, Xu Qing did not descend. Instead, he headed towards a huge mansion to the east, outside the Imperial Palace.

The scale of this mansion was very large, second only to the Imperial Palace, and it was guarded by many armored soldiers, with several Quasi-Emperor auras hidden within.

“National Grand Tutor's Residence? This kid's treatment is quite good!”

Xu Qing smiled slightly, then appeared inside a room.

Not long after, two hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

“Duo Duo (A Hui) greets Clan Chief (Master)!”

“Rise!”

Xu Qing smiled, and a force lifted Xu Duoduo and the other person.

“Clan Chief, when did you arrive?” Xu Duoduo asked cautiously.

“Just now!” Xu Qing asked with a smile, “What? You look like you've been up to no good?”

“Hehe! How could that be?” Xu Duoduo said with a laugh.

Xu Qing didn't mind, “I came this time for the fragments!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Duoduo quickly took out a jade box and presented it to Xu Qing with both hands.

“Clan Chief, please forgive me, I searched the entire Tianwu Imperial Domain and only found six fragments!”

Xu Duoduo said somewhat nervously.

“The other three are not in the Tianwu Imperial Domain, it's not your fault!”

Xu Qing took the jade box. After opening it, six fragments lay quietly inside, subtly giving a feeling of wanting to merge together. However, they were sealed by a special Restriction, so they couldn't merge.

Xu Qing waved out two torrents, and the cultivation of the two instantly broke through to the Supreme Great Emperor Realm. Their contributions were not enough to become Dao Severing Realm; Supreme Great Emperor was just right!

“Thank you, Clan Chief (Master), for the reward!”

The two were overjoyed and quickly kowtowed in thanks.

“This is what you deserve!” Xu Qing said with a smile, then looked at A Hui, “I have a task for you!”

“Master, please instruct!”

A Hui's expression became solemn.

“Return to the Netherworld and help the Yin Court unify the Netherworld!” Xu Qing said.

The Wujian Hell Minotaur Race was not a small race in the Netherworld. If placed on the Eternal Continent, it could be considered a superpower. Of course, this was the strength of the entire race; the branch to which A Hui belonged was merely a small race with a Saint Monarch.

This time, A Hui's return might bring unexpected and good results for the Yin Court.

“A Hui is willing to serve!”

Upon hearing this, A Hui's expression was somewhat excited. Nothing was more thrilling than returning home in glory.

“Buzz!”

“Go!”

With a wave of Xu Qing's hand, he opened a passage to the Netherworld.

A Hui bowed to Xu Qing, then entered the passage and left the Eternal Continent.

“You stay. The next step is to cooperate with the Guyou Alliance and the Dark Night Tower, openly or secretly controlling the major forces in the Nanming Divine Continent!” Xu Qing instructed.

“Yes, Clan Chief!”

“Here is some cultivation. How to use it is up to you!”

Xu Qing spent one hundred million family points to exchange for some cultivation from Saint Monarch to Peerless Quasi-Emperor and handed it to Xu Duoduo.

“Yes, Clan Chief!”

Xu Duoduo quickly took the storage ring with both hands. When he looked up again, Xu Qing's figure had already disappeared from the room.

Tens of billions of miles away, Xu Qing's figure emerged. After checking the direction, he walked towards a certain direction. In just a few steps, he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived before an ancient city.

Great Yan!

The two characters 'Great Yan' were written on the thousand-zhang-high giant city.

Xu Qing walked directly in from above. The great formation protecting the Great Yan Imperial Capital was like an illusion in front of Xu Qing!

Soon, he arrived inside a certain hall of the Imperial Palace.

A group of peerless beauties were dancing and singing, while at the head sat a man wearing a tall crown and a black bird golden robe. This person was the current Emperor of the Great Yan Empire!

“Who is it?!”

Xu Qing's sudden appearance was immediately discovered by the experts in the palace. Some even attacked immediately, wanting to capture Xu Qing.

Xu Qing merely glanced at them, instantly freezing everyone in the entire hall, rendering them unable to move.

The Great Yan Emperor's heart was startled. Those guarding him were not weak; their cultivation was at least Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor, and he himself was an Eternal Giant. Yet, he was now frozen in place, which showed the opponent's strength.

“I came here with no ill intentions. There is an item in your Great Yan treasury that I happen to need!”

As Xu Qing spoke, he released the Restriction on them.

The earlier attack had already subdued them. At this moment, they dared not act rashly and quickly came to the Great Yan Emperor's side to protect him.

Xu Qing paid no attention to their actions.

“May I ask what Senior needs?”

The Great Yan Emperor was also an extraordinary person. He rose and performed a Junior's bow to Xu Qing, while secretly sending a message to several Old Ancestors deep within the Imperial Palace for help.

“During the Calamity of Tianwu, two fragments were in your treasury, right?”

Xu Qing said with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, the Great Yan Emperor's expression trembled slightly. Few people knew about this matter. How could this person in front of him know? Could someone have leaked the secret?

However, now was not the time to dwell on it. He quickly said, “Please sit, Senior. I will have someone fetch it immediately!”

Saying that, he had people prepare another banquet, his attitude extremely respectful.

He also sent a close guard with a token to retrieve the item.

What if he was the Emperor? From the moment he sent the message until now, the few Old Ancestors should have arrived, but they hadn't appeared, clearly indicating an emergency. And the only one who could cause this was perhaps the person in front of him.

Therefore, he served carefully, fearing to displease this person.
