Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In the past, the eastern region of Cangzhou was dominated by three holy lands: the ancient Xiao and Duan families, Duanshan City, the Jiuli Dynasty, and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Now, the three holy lands, the Duan family, and the Great Xia Dynasty are all gone.

The most awkward situation was that of the Jiuli Dynasty.

Because the Great Qian not only recovered the Eight Ancient Kingdoms, but also incorporated the Great Xia into it, and even brought all twenty dynasties in the Southern Region under its control.

Adjacent to the Southern Region is the Jiuli Dynasty. In other words, the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty takes a turn, forming a semi-circle that surrounds the Jiuli Dynasty.

Moreover, no other dynasty exists in the entire Cangzhou.

Everyone in the Jiuli Dynasty felt that one day the Daqian Dynasty might send a large army to attack Jiuli and completely subjugate all the dynasties in Cangzhou.

The Nine Li Divine Emperor was at a loss and worried all day long. His cultivation also went awry, and he had no choice but to go into seclusion to recuperate.

Now, both Jiuli and Daqian have a crown prince overseeing the country, but the difference in their abilities leads to vastly different final results.

Princess Yao Zitong of Jiuli was once ranked second on the list of prodigies, second only to Xu Qingzhou in Cangzhou.

In Xu Luo's previous life, Yao Zitong was ranked first on the list of prodigies and was the only prodigy in Cangzhou to be admitted to the True Dragon Academy. She was undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation at that time.

Yao Zitong is indeed very talented in cultivation, but unfortunately she lacks the ability to govern a country. Otherwise, the Nine Li God Emperor might have passed the throne to her.

She had been traveling in other continents for the past few years and only recently returned. Upon hearing about the Flood Dragon Ranking and the Azure Dragon Ranking, she immediately became interested.

"It just so happens that I haven't been to Ascension City yet. I want to see what's so special about the Great Qian Dynasty."

Yao Zitong left the Jiuli Dynasty and headed straight for Shengxian City.

Gazing at the majestic Ascension City, Yao Zitong's pupils constricted slightly, her heart filled with horror.

Once inside the city and witnessing its bustling prosperity, one can't help but sigh with admiration.

"This Ascension City is indeed extraordinary."

The fact that such a large city could be built and so many people could be managed in such an orderly manner demonstrates the capabilities of the imperial court.

Moreover, the spiritual energy within the city was exceptionally dense, and Yao Zitong understood that there must be more than one Heaven-rank spiritual vein beneath the city.

Everyone knows this, because a single celestial-level spiritual vein is not enough to make every part of such a large Ascension City rich in spiritual energy.

Yao Zitong couldn't help but guess.

"This Xu family is probably directly related to the destruction of the three holy lands."

She suspected that the Xu family might have seized the Heavenly Rank spiritual veins of the three holy lands.

In fact, it wasn't just the Heavenly Rank spiritual veins of the three holy lands; the Duan family and the Great Xia royal family were also destroyed by the Dragon King, and their Heavenly Rank spiritual veins were taken back by the Dragon King.

Afterwards, Xu Qingzhou destroyed the Qiulong clan, so the Duan family, the Great Xia royal family, and the Qiulong clan's Heavenly Rank spiritual veins were all in Xu Qingzhou's hands.

In addition to the Heavenly Rank spiritual vein that already existed in the small world, Xu Qingzhou now possesses a total of seven Heavenly Rank spiritual veins.

He placed three in the Xu family's small world, three in the city, and one in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Therefore, the spiritual energy concentration in Ascension City is the highest in Cangzhou, and no other place can compare.

This is one of the reasons why so many cultivators and forces who come to Ascension City are unwilling to leave.

It took Yao Zitong several days to tour the city, and by then she was completely convinced of the power of the Great Qian Dynasty.

A bold idea formed in Yao Zitong's mind.

"The Great Qian Dynasty has such means and capabilities that it might be better for the people of Jiuli to annex them."

At this moment, her thoughts were exactly the same as Ji Yuying's during the turmoil in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Qian Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, and its people lived in peace and contentment, making it a golden age. To become a subject of this dynasty would naturally lead to a better life.

It was Yao Zitong who, after witnessing the rapid growth of Xu Luo, Xu Chen, and Xu Qiufeng at the True Dragon Academy, returned to persuade her father to seek peace with the Xu family.

Now Yao Zitong feels that if she goes back this time, she might be able to persuade her father to surrender and let Jiuli be incorporated into Daqian.

For both the Jiuli royal family and the Jiuli people, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

After all, if we wait until the Great Qian takes the initiative, the outcome will be completely different.

As Yao Zitong walked, she unknowingly followed the crowd and arrived at the crowded martial arts arena.

She first looked up at the Flood Dragon Ranking and saw a series of powerful individuals with the surname Xu.

This reminded Yao Zitong of the situation on the list of geniuses back then, which was also the case.

"Is the Xu family truly destined by fate?"

Yao Zitong then looked at the True Dragon Ranking. There were quite a few powerful people with the surname Xu on the True Dragon Ranking, but of these fifty people, she only had a vague impression of Qu Wubing.

After all, of the original Prodigies Ranking, some died and some left, and apart from the Xu family's prodigies, there were very few left.

"Is Qu Wubing's cultivation speed really that fast? I remember when the Prodigy Ranking was updated, he was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, while I was at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"And now, I am at the fourth level of the True Saint Realm, while he is at the third level!!"

Yao Zitong possesses a special physique, the Purple Eye Physique, which is also at the Saintly Physique level, albeit an ordinary Saintly Physique, almost identical to the Five Elements Divine Physique.

However, she also had excellent comprehension, which is why she was able to become the number one on the list of prodigies and the number one young person in Cangzhou in Xu Luo's previous life.

Over the years, she has been diligently cultivating herself without ever slacking off.

I thought my cultivation speed was already very fast, and apart from not being able to compare with those monsters surnamed Xu, I could be considered the number one in Cangzhou.

Unexpectedly, Qu Wubing was even faster, and was about to catch up with him.

This made Yao Zitong, who has always had a very strong personality, very dissatisfied.

"I'll see if you really have the corresponding strength!!"

Yao Zitong stepped forward, found the soldier in charge of the True Dragon Ranking, and expressed her desire to challenge Qu Wubing, who was ranked forty-ninth on the True Dragon Ranking.

Qu Wubing had been in Shengxian City recently. Upon learning that someone was challenging him, he rushed over from the Xu family.

Qu Wubing and Yao Zitong exchanged a glance and simultaneously flew onto the arena.

"Yao Zitong, please give me your guidance."

"Qu Wubing, please."

There aren't many Saint Realm experts, so the competition on the True Dragon Ranking isn't fierce; sometimes there won't even be a single duel in a day.

So every time it happens, it's surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Look! Look! Someone else is challenging a top expert on the True Dragon Ranking! And it's Qu Wubing!"

"This woman is so beautiful and looks so familiar."

"It's her! Yao Zitong, the Second Princess of Jiuli! Once ranked second on the Prodigy Ranking!"

"Yao Zitong rarely appears. I didn't expect her to return to Cangzhou and even participate in the competition for a seat on the True Dragon Ranking."

"Her cultivation level is a whole level higher than Qu Wubing's; I wonder what her actual combat strength is like."

Although the two knew each other, they had no interaction and were both taciturn, so without any unnecessary words, they started fighting immediately.

A major battle was about to break out, and bookmakers around the arena began to open betting.

This attracted many gamblers to place bets.
