A tier 4 Emperor to follow him into battel for 1,000 years, 20 million godstones.

A tier 3 Emperor to follow him into battel for 1,000 years, 2 million godstones.

Tier 2 Emperor, 200,000 godstones.

Dao Lords costs 10,000 godstones each.

In these days, he indeed recruited quite a number of individuals.

3,000 Dao Lords had joined him. Apart from the godstones spent during recruitment and the unified treasures, just for these 3,000 Dao Lords, he had expended 70 to 80 million godstones.

For the tier 2 Emperors, he recruited 100 individuals, and with the addition of treasures, it cost him only 50 million.

As for tier 3 Emperors, however, he had only managed to recruit a few.

Surprisingly, the tier 4 Emperor, contrary to his expectations, he managed to recruited two.

“Just a bit more!”

Jian Wushuang calculated in his mind. After settling these formidable figures in the military camp outside the imperial city, he began preparing a formation. He needed a formation capable of accommodating 10,000 people.

In the Imperial City, there was the largest Formation Pavilion.

Located within the Imperial Palace.

On this day, heavy rain poured down!

Jian Wushuang rode a flying beast and arrived at the Qianyang Gate of the Imperial Palace.

“Ninth Prince!

The guarding Emperor-level expert was quite enthusiastic.

Jian Wushuang nodded indifferently and walked down from the flying beast.

“Wait here, I will go in alone!”

“Yes!” The leader of the guards stood in the rain, respectfully receiving the order, and led a group of people into the adjacent building, a waiting hall specially prepared for these guards.

Boom!

Just as Jian Wushuang stepped into the palace, he felt a strong premonition that a pair of eyes had just glanced at him.

That glance startled him!

However, the feeling quickly vanished, and his state of mind calmed down.

The owner of those eyes was deep within the imperial palace.

“Phew!” Jian Wushuang exhaled, recalling that pair of eyes from Xia Mang Guanyu’s memories. It was something from his childhood, and he had grown accustomed to it, not paying much attention later on.

A super imperial dynasty was indeed extraordinary.

In the Original Universe, the strongest imperial dynasties were similar to the Ji Family, where the strongest were only tier 4 Emperors. Although their strength was considerably greater than those in the Four Great Secret Realms, within those realms, they were merely considered average powers.

Super forces required tier 6 Emperors; without them, they couldn’t be classified as super forces.

And peak forces required several tier 6 Emperors and the presence of unparalleled experts.

Bai Junwangs peak combat power, with a 68,000-fold divine body, was an unparalleled force.

First, he severed Wu Zuo’s avatar, then he shattered Bai Yi t s supreme treasure.

Incredibly formidable.

Thinking of such strength, Jian Wushuang felt somewhat powerless.

Great Xia probably didn’t have such powerful individuals.

The ancestral elder of Great Xia had always stayed in the ancestral temple, not in the imperial palace,

Otherwise, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t dare to come here.

Though he disguised himself perfectly, he was still afraid of attracting the attention of a tier 6 Emperor.

The owner of those eyes just now probably wasn’t a tier 6 Emperor, Jian Wushuang speculated.

The voice of Bai Junwang, concealed within him, transmitted a deep voice,

“Strange, there’s something unusual deep within the imperial palace. Be cautious.”

“Unusual?” Jian Wushuangs heart sank upon hearing this.

At this moment, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

Bai Junwang understood his temperament and continued, “Don’t worry, with this kind of disguise, even the Grand Yan Immortal, whose origin source divine body has completely transformed, would find it challenging to discover a tier 6 Emperor’s true identity!”

This reassurance served as a comfort for Jian Wushuang.

Indeed, his disguise could be considered top-notch among his peers.

His supreme physique, through the Ten Refinements, had undergone a transformation along with his origin source divine body. Not only was his physical body indestructible, but both his divine body and origin source were also imperishable, although not ruling out the possibility of being extinguished by a formidable adversary.

Adjusting his aura slightly, Jian Wushuang, disguised as Xia Mang Guanyu, entered the imperial harem.

Being the Ninth Prince, even with a somewhat special background, gaining an audience with the Imperial Emperor was no easy feat.

Most of his visits to the palace were to see his ‘mother.

As soon as he entered the imperial harem, a eunuch came forward to guide him, leading him to the courtyard where Xuan Yuan Anshui resided.

Mother and son talked for a long time, and eventually, Jian Wushuang casually mentioned his plans regarding the grand formation.

However, he forgot to consider one crucial point—most mothers would not willingly let their sons go to the battlefield.

He had initially thought Jian Wushuang was merely going to the battlefield to earn some military merits and receive a personal reward of gold.

She never expected her naive son to be serious about it.

Forming a battle array and dueling with an emperor? That was going too far.

Even the Crown Prince wouldn’t go to such extremes!

Realizing the unfavorable trend, Jian Wushuang resorted to coaxing and deceit, managing to scrape through.

He was afraid that Yuan Yuan Anshui, to prevent him from forming the battle array, would not only withhold the array formation but also refrain from buying the treasures to enhance his divine body.

That would be a significant loss.

“Yu’er, remember, as your mother, you are my only son. When you go to the battlefield, it’s a matter for the Xia Mang family, but here, you are my son.”

Jian Wushuang knelt directly on the ground, respectfully bowing his head.

“Son remembers Mother’s words!”

“Yes!” Xuan Yuan Anshui’s eyes shimmered with tears.

After completing all this, he rose and talked for another hour, accompanying Xuan Yuan Anshui, symbolized by a pot of tea and some flowers and fruits, before taking his leave.

Outside the palace, not far away was the residence of the Crown Prince in the East Palace.

Looking at the eunuch guiding him, Jian Wushuang turned his hand and took out a thousand godstones from his mustard seed bag, handing them over.

“Thank you!

The eunuch in blue floral pattern bowed and spoke, “No trouble at all. Serving Ninth Prince is the servant’s blessing.”

Jian Wushuang appeared indifferent on the surface but sneered inwardly.

A Yan Immortal doing odd jobs as a eunuch in the palace – what a waste of his Dao.

Jian Wushuang never had a good attitude towards those who didn’t value the Great Dao within themselves. However, in the palace, he couldn’t show it.

There were a few powerful eunuchs in the palace, the left and right arms of the Emperor. If he showed true feelings towards these eunuchs, he might not have a good end.

As he walked out of the imperial palace with the eunuch, he encountered the Crown Prince and two acquaintances by his side.

“Wuliang Buddha! Hu Qing!

This time, without waiting for the Crown Prince to speak, he preemptively greeted, “Greetings, Crown Prince, Royal Teacher!”

“We are all family; there’s no need for formalities at home.” The Crown Prince, Xuan Yuan Guanjun, spoke with elegance and composure.

Wushuang, perhaps due to his rapidly increasing strength or the Crown Prince’s dislike for the Ninth Prince, stood to the side, lifting his proud head and not bothering to glance at him.

On the other hand, Hu Qing, as usual, had a gentle and kind expression when seeing anyone.

Upon getting closer, Jian Wushuang noticed a little girl behind Hu Qing. Inside the palace, he dared not recklessly explore with his Thought power. Besides, the little girl was just an ordinary mortal, not much different from ants.

“The Crown Prince has spoken. This is the imperial palace, and I dare not forget the rules. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!” Xia Mang Guanyu left these words and hastily departed.

This left the Crown Prince somewhat puzzled, secretly pondering that Jian

Wushuang might have fallen into some trouble, explaining his cold attitude.

Their usual relationship was ordinary; there was no reason for such estrangement!
