Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Once Emperor Shenwu goes into seclusion, the entire Shenyue Dynasty will be under the control of Crown Prince Lu Yanghua.

At this time, when the Heavenly Demons are rampaging, those forces that have a good relationship with the Crown Prince will not have to deal with the Heavenly Demons, while those forces that have a bad relationship with the Crown Prince will inevitably be sent by the Crown Prince to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.

Choosing sides becomes especially important at this time.

After hearing that Lu Yanghua had been appointed Crown Prince, many emperors took the initiative to visit him to congratulate him. Even emperors who were originally from other prince factions went to offer their congratulations.

People knew very well that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Yanghua's position as crown prince was basically secure, and the struggle for the throne was over.

Therefore, if the other princes continue to be the last to take the lead, then when Lu Yanghua becomes regent, they will probably be assigned all the dirty and hard work.

The Eastern Palace of the Divine Moon Dynasty.

After receiving the imperial decree, Lu Yanghua immediately moved into the East Palace, which was located to the left of the Shenyue Dynasty's imperial palace and was about half the size of the imperial palace.

Inside the East Palace, the floor is made of top-grade spirit stones, and immortal gold is used as the building material, which is extremely rare.

At this moment, the square of the Eastern Palace was bustling with activity. Several emperors were there, all of whom had brought gifts in order to befriend Lu Yanghua.

Seeing so many emperors arrive at the Eastern Palace, Lu Yanghua's vanity swelled to its peak.

at last……

He finally arrived at the place he had been dreaming of!

At this moment, the Thunder Emperor, holding an exquisite box, approached Lu Yanghua and said obsequiously, "Congratulations on your attainment of sainthood, Your Highness! This is just a small token of my respect!"

Upon seeing the Thunder Emperor, Lu Yanghua said with a smile, "Thunder Emperor, I remember you and Ninth Brother are on good terms. If he knew you had come to the Eastern Palace today, I wonder what he would think? Aren't you afraid he would be displeased?"

The Thunder Emperor said with a smile, "What are you saying, Crown Prince? You are the Crown Prince, and from now on you will be the ruler of the dynasty. As your subject, it is only natural that I should come to congratulate Your Highness."

"As for Lu Chen, he is nothing more than a traitor of the Divine Moon Dynasty."

At this point, the Thunder Emperor sighed deeply, a pained expression on his face, and continued, "Alas, I was truly blind back then to have gotten so close to this traitor."

Hearing Thunder Emperor's words, Lu Yanghua felt very comfortable.

Back then, Lu Chen always suppressed him, as he was superior to him in talent and cultivation. Lu Chen also had a large number of capable people gathered around him.

Now Lu Chen has nothing left and has become a traitor to the Divine Moon Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanghua wanted to burst into laughter. In the end, he had gained everything!

No matter how high one's talent and cultivation level are, one still ends up as a stray dog.

After the Thunder Emperor finished offering his congratulations, the other emperors gathered around and said some words of flattery to Lu Yanghua.

At this moment, the Thunder Emperor stepped aside, his fawning expression vanishing, replaced by a serious one.

The moment he entered the East Palace, he felt a familiar yin-yang power, which immediately reminded him of the emperors who had assassinated Chu Yunzhi in the palace.

Although he had guessed that there might be some kind of relationship between Lu Yanghua and those emperors, Emperor Thunder did not intend to report it to Emperor Divine Martial.

Those emperors used the power of Yin and Yang, which is related to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Today, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Divine Moon Dynasty are allies. Bringing up this matter could potentially affect the cooperation between the two forces.

Moreover, Emperor Thunder believed that Emperor Divine Martial had already noticed the several emperors around Lu Yanghua. This was the capital city, and with Emperor Divine Martial's perception, it was impossible for him not to have noticed them at all.

However, for some reason, the Thunder Emperor had a feeling that something big was about to happen. The appointment of the Crown Prince was probably not the end, but the beginning of something else.

at the same time.

Guiyi Sect.

On the vast continent, countless towers built of piled-up stones stand tall, their stone walls adorned with murals of unknown meaning.

On the top floor of a stone tower, two old men sat facing each other on the ground, with a Go board in front of them.

At this moment, the old man on the left spoke up: "Sect Leader of the Guiyi Cult, aren't you going to congratulate that prince?"

Upon hearing this, the old man, who was called the leader, smiled faintly and then said, "He's just a dying man, what's there to congratulate?"

At this point, the leader of the Guiyi Sect picked up a chess piece with his fingers and placed it on the chessboard.

The next moment, the entire chessboard emitted a dazzling light, and then a projection of the Tianchen World appeared on the chessboard.

The leader of the Guiyi Sect continued, "Now that the Holy Maiden has overcome her tribulation, it is time for us to head to the Tianchen World."

Upon hearing this, the old man opposite the leader of the Guiyi Sect said, "The Guiyi Sect's mission has been completed. Since that's the case, why continue to follow that woman?"

The leader of the Guiyi Sect calmly said, "She founded the Guiyi Sect in her previous life. Without her, there would be no Guiyi Sect today. The Guiyi Sect will always be her Guiyi Sect."

Hearing this, the old man chuckled softly, "You really are stubborn."

"But I'm curious, why did she choose Lu Chen? Did they have a predestined relationship in a past life?"

The leader of the Guiyi Cult said, "Who knows? This is her own business."

"Alright, that's enough for today. You should go now. If you stay any longer, you might be discovered by the Divine Martial Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chessboard in front of the two disappeared. The leader of the Guiyi Sect stood up, waved his embroidered robe, and the next moment, his body vanished from the spot, leaving only the old man who had just played chess with him sitting there.

After a while, the old man slowly got up. He looked at the stone tower in the distance and said with a smile, "That's interesting."

The old man was the lord of the Nirvana Holy Land, a top power in the universe. He originally intended to win over the Guiyi Sect and have them join the Nirvana Holy Land, but unexpectedly, the Guiyi Sect ultimately chose a prince who had been abandoned.

The Guiyi Cult may seem like an ordinary force, but only the Golden Flame Emperor knows that the Guiyi Cult existed in the universe at the beginning of this era, and that this cult is older than many holy lands.

The Guiyi Sect has simply maintained a low profile; its true strength is probably unknown to most.

Emperor Jin Yan had been paying close attention to the Guiyi Sect's every move. Back when the Guiyi Sect sent their Holy Maiden to the Divine Moon Palace, he once doubted whether the Guiyi Sect was as powerful as he had imagined, or whether the Guiyi Sect had already weakened.

After all, she was their holy maiden. If they truly had a powerful figure among them, they wouldn't have sent her away.

It wasn't until just now, when the Golden Flame Emperor faced the Unity Cult Leader head-on, that he realized his previous guess was wrong.

The pressure from the Guiyi Sect Leader was no less than that from the patriarchs of those top holy lands. Even the Divine Martial Emperor was unlikely to be a match for the Guiyi Sect Leader.

Perhaps, when the leader of the Guiyi Cult handed over the Holy Maiden, he was plotting something.

With this in mind, Emperor Jin Yan decided that after returning, he would have people pay more attention to the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Jin Yan once obtained a copy of the legacy memories of an elder of the Guiyi Sect. Through those memories, he learned that the Holy Maiden of the Guiyi Sect was no ordinary person; she was very likely the reincarnation of the empress who created the Guiyi Sect.

How could someone of such high status choose a prince abandoned by the Divine Martial Emperor?

Perhaps, that Lu Chen is not simple either?
