Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 419 The Conflict Subsided

"Wanzai, so these things have happened."

Xia Sheng's eyes were deep, reflecting the long river of time. In just a moment, scenes that had happened in this world in the past played out in his eyes.

During this period, Gu Zu and Fallen Blood Phoenix performed very well, always charging to the forefront in every battle, and gained the recognition of the kings of the Imperial Court.

Three great wars: two came from foreign lands, led by the Immortal King, attacking from the borderlands; the other came from the Boundary Sea, crossing the dam, initiated by an unfamiliar giant.

The border seas are becoming increasingly turbulent.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a king from the Burial Realm came to the rescue. Over the past ten thousand years, another Burial King has returned from the depths of the Boundary Sea, and this is one of them.

It should be noted that some beings in the Burial Realm consider the Emperor to be an unconventional Burial Master because he possesses the body of an Emperor. Therefore, they are quite friendly towards him.

"We should express our gratitude."

Xia Sheng nodded, glancing at the burial area, his eyes flashing.

Although that area also contains an ancient artifact, the Burial Realm is much more peaceful compared to the alien creatures there, and can be an asset.

"Besides, something drastic may have happened in that foreign land."

At this moment, the ancestor of crickets appeared, bringing astonishing news.

According to reliable sources, a dramatic change has occurred in the alien realm. Although the cause is unknown, the key lies with several powerful figures who, like Xia Sheng, have not appeared in the world for ten thousand years.

"Should we take action? I'm afraid they'll break through that barrier."

Gu Zu spoke, his expression somewhat tense.

He left many spies in foreign lands. Although some were destroyed, two or three survived. These creatures were unaware that they were informants; they were simply marked with secrets, and their every word and action was recorded.

"There's no need to be nervous; they're not ready to take that step yet."

Xia Sheng answered calmly.

He was also a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm, and knew how difficult it was to take that step. If the ancient artifact of origin truly belonged to the so-called "Emperor," then Kundi and the others should not have been able to cross it. At their current level, they were beyond the reach of external objects.

Unless it's something two levels higher.

Although he has not yet come into contact with the Immortal Emperor, Xia Sheng has already vaguely sensed the differentiation of realms. Below the true Immortal Emperor, there should be another rank.

"What's going on in the Immortal Realm?"

Then he looked at the Immortal Queen Manlan, who was in charge of handling affairs in the Immortal Realm.

"I've heard that a powerful figure is about to be introduced to me, named Lu Gu."

The Immortal King Manlan replied with utmost ease, saying that since severing ties with the past, his cultivation had become much smoother, and he might be able to reach the pinnacle again within tens of thousands of years.

Giant Lu Gu, a powerful figure from a relatively recent era, is finally about to be welcomed into the Immortal Realm thanks to the tireless efforts of the three kings, Ao Sheng and his brother.

"Well."

Xia Sheng nodded, showing neither joy nor emotion.

The mere giant Lu Gu is not even worth his attention.

As time went by, more and more powerful figures returned from the depths of the Boundary Sea. Although he was confident in his own strength, he still needed a group of powerful figures to protect the rear.

In a short period of time, the princes of the Imperial Court, including the younger generation, will not be able to reach that level.

"I wish to venture deep into the Boundary Sea and guide a group of powerful individuals."

He spoke up and revealed his thoughts.

Breaking through the King's Road in a short time is too difficult. Xia Sheng wants to gain more combat power in the shortest time. He wants to find the giants who are lost in the Boundary Sea.

For example, that Taoist priest sitting cross-legged atop the azure sky must be one of the most outstanding among the supreme giants. Moreover, Xia Sheng had a feeling that the two seemed to be connected by some kind of race.

This is the intuition of a supreme giant at the peak.

Perhaps it can uncover a long-forgotten period of time.

"Wait a minute."

However, before the princes of the imperial court could speak, he shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Before leaving, Xia Sheng planned to wreak havoc first, to intimidate everyone before departing.

Not to mention the ticking time bomb that is the alien land.

He needed to figure out what state Kundi and the others were in now.

"Come here, all of you. I'm going to test your strength."

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng's brows relaxed as he looked at everyone.

Among the core members of the Imperial Court, the strongest have already reached the Quasi-Immortal King level, such as Xia Ming, Xia Yilong, Xia Zu, and his two disciples Bai Di and Huang Qi. The weakest have also become Immortals, including Long Ying, Qing Huang, the Zhu Yi siblings, Lü Hong, Xia Tianjiao, and Yuan Hong.

Now, with the expansion of heaven and earth and the development of the rules of the Great Dao, their future achievements will be even more extraordinary.

It is worth mentioning that after the Fallen Blood Phoenix King returned, she valued Huang Qi highly and even personally passed on her precious techniques and some of her understanding of cultivation, hoping that Huang Qi would become a king.

This was a gesture of goodwill. She clearly knew the importance of Huang Qi in the Emperor's heart. If Huang Qi became a queen in the future, having a relationship with the same clan would greatly improve her own future situation.

As for Bai Ke, needless to say, he stands at the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal Kings. Xia Sheng decided to personally teach him, as his understanding of the White Tiger inheritance and his mastery of the Yin-Yang Dao surpassed countless Immortal Kings.

And so, in the period that followed, the strength of everyone in the Imperial Court increased dramatically. Although there was no qualitative transformation, this accumulation was extremely profound, involving the foundation of an Immortal King.

On this day, before they could even test the waters of the foreign lands, news came from the Immortal Realm that the giant Lu Gu had come to visit and meet with the Emperor.

They've come to plead for mercy.

Beside her, Xiao Qinghuang smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Father, this Senior Lu has visited many times, but you have never appeared in the world, so all his visits have been in vain."

At the same time, she informed that due to Lu Gu's situation, the three kings of Ao Sheng, who were fighting in the Boundary Sea, had returned to the Immortal Realm, but they were doing so in a very low-key manner.

Xia Sheng remained calm, glancing at the burial area with a cold smile: "Since they want to see him, let them in. But they shouldn't regret their decision now."

Not long ago, he visited the burial area. After expressing his gratitude to the kings of the burial realm, he also made a special trip to the place where Shi Hao was sleeping. Two hundred and fifty thousand years had passed, and Huang's physical body had become even more connected to the underworld.

He even discovered ten reincarnation seals, incredibly profound, as if a primordial spirit was being reshaped in an unknown region, and that Huang would eventually return.

Perhaps it happened within the last two or three hundred thousand years.

Then we'll see how Ao Sheng and his princes maintain their composure.

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

Not long after, the Immortal King Lugu himself arrived. He was a slightly plump old man with a white beard and an extremely kind face.

However, this was only on the surface. He was known for his fiery temper in the Immortal Realm, and only after learning of the Emperor's reputation did he show this kind and amiable demeanor.

After stating his purpose, Xia Sheng directly rejected Lu Gu, his expression extremely cold: "Go tell them that if they stay in the Boundary Sea and fight against the darkness, they might be able to avoid the calamity. Otherwise, when a reckoning comes in the future, no one will be able to save them!"

Upon hearing this, the giant of Lugu's expression changed slightly, but in the end he did not dare to vent his anger here. He nodded slightly to Xia Sheng and then turned to leave.

"Enough, it was my rashness. In the future, we will still support each other."

Although both are giants, his strength is worlds apart from Xia Sheng's. The fact that he came here is already a great favor. He simply doesn't have the courage to antagonize this emperor.

Looking in the direction Lu Gu had left, Xia Sheng remained calm. He turned around and looked behind him, saying to Huang Qi, "Go, prepare to wage war in the foreign lands again, and see what changes have taken place in that hellish place!"
