423: turtle and mung bean

"Aner, have you seen the message from Long Yuan?" Emperor Ming's voice came.

"Imperial Father, your son has already seen it!" Prince An replied, taking a deep breath.

"What countermeasures do you have?" Emperor Ming asked directly.

"As of now, besides quickly preparing defensive fortifications, we must deepen our cooperation with Xuanji Tower and ask them to help us resist the Sea Clan. Of course, the most important thing is to see when the experts from Tianji Pavilion can arrive on Blue Star. Besides them, I'm afraid no other force on Blue Star can resolve this situation!" Prince An sighed.

Emperor Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Reasonable! Just ask for whatever you need. You can take any treasures from the imperial treasuries of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture. You must befriend all the immortal masters from Xuanji Tower, especially those powerful immortal masters who are about to arrive!"

"Your son obeys the decree!" Prince An quickly responded.

"Oh, and Prince Zhao has researched many powerful weapons over the years, which might be able to help you! I will have him contact you more often!" Emperor Ming added.

Prince An was slightly startled, and asked doubtfully, "Prince Zhao? What kind of weapons can he research?"

"I'm not entirely sure, you'll know once you interact with him!"

"Alright! Imperial Father, rest assured, we will meet force with force, and adapt to any situation. As long as our Great Ming operates smoothly, no matter how strong the Sea Clan is, we will keep them out!" Prince An said loudly.

"Hmm, it seems I can no longer remain silent. If my eldest, third, fifth, and eighteenth brothers continue to cause trouble like this, it will be almost impossible for Great Ming to operate smoothly. Alas, it's all my fault for being old and useless..." Emperor Ming sighed deeply.

Prince An heard this and said, "Imperial Father, why do you say that? Long Yuan is cultivating a Rebirth body for you. Now is a good time for you to show your prowess. Great Ming still needs you to maintain its unified situation, otherwise, it will surely fall apart and be devoured by surrounding forces!"

Emperor Ming was silent for a while, then finally spoke, "Good! I believe you! And I believe Long Yuan!!!"

"Long live Imperial Father! Long live! Long, long live!!!"

Prince An put down the phone, his expression returning to solemnity. Although he had made grand promises to Emperor Ming, the complexity and severity of the current situation still far exceeded his expectations. To be honest, the heroic ambition he had felt when he first emerged from seclusion had been almost completely crushed by reality. He knew very well that with his current strength, he was simply unable to control the situation. Great Ming was in danger!

Although he was now a Martial Saint, his combat power was at most similar to or slightly stronger than the Xuanji Tower Lord. But this was far from enough, because he was alone, while Xuanji Tower of Snow Eagle Country had hundreds of Cultivators. Yet, even they could only be on the defensive when facing the Sea Clan's attacks, desperately holding on and waiting for rescue. Therefore, even if he exhausted all his magical power, he would not be able to withstand the continuous attacks of so many Sea Beast experts. Once he fell, the Great Ming defenders would instantly collapse, which was almost a foregone conclusion.

It now seemed that the peace Long Yuan had previously secured for Great Ming was so precious. Otherwise, Great Ming would probably already be under attack by the Sea Clan!

He prayed that the Sea Clan would not invade Great Ming within three months, otherwise, Great Ming might be destroyed by the Sea Clan before the super powerful Cultivators from Tianji Pavilion arrived. By then, even if the super powerful Cultivators from Tianji Pavilion came, they would only be able to save a Great Ming that had suffered immense losses... "What should I do? It's a pity my Cultivation Realm is still too low to suppress the Sea Clan... Oh, Long Yuan's combat power displayed last time was quite extraordinary, he could easily capture even a Martial Commander from Shadow Moon Hall. If he can grow quickly, he might be able to help me..."

While Prince An was pondering, his phone rang again. Seeing it was Prince Zhao, the Thirteenth Prince, he answered:

"Second Imperial Brother, it's Prince Zhao! You've emerged from seclusion?!" Prince Zhao's voice rang out, quite excited.

"Yes, the situation is urgent now, so let's not dwell on pleasantries, brother. Imperial Father said you've researched many new weapons over the years, quickly tell me about them!" Prince An said directly.

"Second Imperial Brother, I'll send you the relevant information. After you've read it, just tell me how you want us to cooperate, and I will support you unconditionally!!!" Prince Zhao said.

"Good!!!"

Soon, a message was sent to Prince An's phone. He opened a light screen and began to read it carefully... In a hotel room in Dingyuan City, a flicker of light appeared, and Long Yuan's figure slowly emerged. A slight smile played on his face, and his entire being exuded a vast pressure, causing the items in the room to tremble slightly. Fortunately, he quickly reined in his Aura, slowly returning to a normal state, then activated the Breath Concealment Technique, suppressing his Cultivation to the Late Stage of a Martial Artist.

Three days in the outside world, he had Cultivated for three months in the Heavenly Dao Space. He had not only successfully broken through to the Martial Saint stage but had also Cultivated to the Late Stage of Martial Saint. His strength was at least three times that of his previous Martial King stage!

Of course, this only referred to his Profound Skill. If it was in terms of Soul Power, his strength was already the strongest on Blue Star!

No one on Blue Star could withstand the attack of his powerful Soul Power, not even the four Tower Lords of Xuanji Tower and Zhu Jian!

Because his current Soul Power level was already close to the Peak of Soul Transformation. Although limited by his physical body, he could only mobilize less than a tenth of it, its power was already sufficient to suppress powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators, not to mention Foundation Establishment Cultivators like the four Tower Lords and Zhu Jian.

However, since Long Yuan's divine body was still in its nascent growth stage, he was temporarily unable to Cultivate immortality. He needed to Cultivate his Profound Skill to its absolute Peak before he could begin immortal Cultivation. Therefore, his current normal combat power was still based on his Profound Skill.

The Late Stage of Martial Saint was already extremely powerful among Xuan Practitioners, not far from a Martial God. It could be said that he was already among the small group of people at the very top of the pyramid on Blue Star. Those stronger than him were few and far between. Besides Zhu Jian, who was a Martial God, it was likely only a few of the most powerful exotic beasts... "Tonight is the time for Miller's transaction with Prince Ding. Let's first check the information from the past few days..." Long Yuan's mind focused, and he began to browse the massive stream of information collected by his Heavenly Eye:

"Both parties agreed to conduct the transaction at Fengbo Pavilion, ten li outside Dingyuan City's East Gate. Miller's side will be led by General Vance, and Prince Ding's side will be led by Zhu Deqin and Dongfang Lie. The time is exactly 9 PM..."

"Miller is passing off inferior goods as superior. Ninety out of one hundred sets of mechs are training mechs disguised as Low Grade mechs, and ten sets of Low Grade mechs are disguised as Medium Grade mechs. Prince Ding's side, due to insufficient funds, is also passing off inferior goods as superior, even using brass plated with gold to impersonate gold. Most of the calligraphy and paintings are fakes, betting that Vance and his team won't be able to tell..."

"They really are two peas in a pod, both sides are looking to take advantage of the other!" Long Yuan couldn't help but inwardly complain when he saw this. Both Miller and Prince Ding were cunning old foxes, and both were treating the other as a fool. However, it seemed that Miller's side would suffer greater losses, after all, Prince Ding's actual expenditure was minimal, and those mechs, even the unranked training mechs, were still quite valuable in Long Yuan's eyes...
