Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

Three days later, in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As three days passed, more and more talents from all over the Chinese mainland flocked to the capital of Great Xia.

The capital city was even more bustling at this time than when Xia Taige got married.

The temporary reception area set up by the imperial court outside the capital city also saw long queues forming.

Talented individuals from all over the Chinese mainland registered with the Great Xia Dynasty.

For a time, the recruitment order had little effect.

As a result, officials throughout the Great Xia Dynasty began to feel uneasy.

Among them, the disciples of some aristocratic families were the most terrified.

Now, after this incident, the Great Xia will no longer have a shortage of talent.

With the Great Xia court disregarding background and origin, talented individuals have flooded into the Great Xia officialdom like a tidal wave.

Xia Taige's plan to settle scores after the autumn harvest is about to begin.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been making a series of moves recently, with many high-ranking officials in the capital being dismissed and their homes confiscated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

At the same time, Liu Bowen, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others quickly joined the ranks, serving in important positions in the court while also holding the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

With this, Xia Taige has thoroughly purged the officials in the capital, eliminating those who were inactive, corrupt, or engaged in factionalism.

All the important positions in the capital city are now filled by capable and willing individuals.

During this major purge, many people were promoted by the cabinet and given important positions.

According to intelligence gathered by the Zhenwu Division, many ambitious and loyal individuals who had been suppressed by powerful families and clans in the past have finally come out on top.

Despite the cabinet's blatant elimination of dissidents, officials in the capital dared not speak out against it and could only secretly pray that they would not become targets of the court.

After a major purge, positions were left vacant in the capital, making room for talented individuals from various countries.

Within the imperial city, in the back garden.

"Your Majesty, we have just received intelligence from the Zhenwu Division that Gu Bin, the leader of the Kunlun Sect, has arrived in the capital!"

"We have just visited the Zhenwu Division to express our intention to surrender, stating that the entire Kunlun region will obey the orders of the Zhenwu Division from now on!" Cao Zhengchun respectfully reported, looking at Xia Taige, who was playing with the white tiger in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige stopped stroking the tiger's head and turned to look at Cao Zhengchun, saying:

Why did Kunlun suddenly make this decision?

"Have any intelligence reports come from the Zhenwu Division's spies?"

Xia Taige would certainly not believe it if it were because of the recruitment order.

"Your Majesty, the reason is unknown. All we know is that a few days ago, the Kunlun Patriarch and Gu Bin discussed matters in the main hall for several hours, but the specific content of their discussion is unknown!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige chuckled softly, seemingly having already guessed what was going on in her mind.

"It seems that the matter of the Immortal Island has brought them a lot of pressure. Even the immortals on land are afraid of perishing here!"

"Since Kunlun has already surrendered to Great Xia, why should we push them away? Let Zhao Gao accept it on their behalf throughout the process."

Perhaps in the past, Xia Taige would have been somewhat pleased with Kunlun's surrender.

But now, judging from the strength of the Great Xia, Kunlun is nothing more than that, and is no longer taken seriously by Xia Taige.

However, Xia Taige was happy to see Kunlun surrender, since who would complain about their own strength?

"Yes! This old servant will send someone to convey the message immediately!" Cao Zhengchun bowed and replied.

Xia Taige nodded upon hearing this and continued to tease the white tiger.

Since ascending the throne, Xia Taige has not been to the back garden for a long time, which also means that he has not seen the White Tiger for a long time.

Oh, and huskies too.

Xia Taige was exceptionally fond of the white tiger; he hadn't petted a cat in a long time and was feeling a bit out of sorts.

Unfortunately, just as Xia Taige was playing with it for a moment, he seemed to sense something. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Cang He suddenly appear beside him.

"Your Majesty!" Canghe bowed slightly in response.

"What is it?" Xia Taige was puzzled by the sudden appearance of the crane.

"Your Majesty, I was monitoring the capital and discovered a powerful expert at the Land Immortal Realm wandering around the city."

"This person makes no attempt to conceal his aura; as far as I know, he is someone who has never appeared before!"

"It is very likely that this person ascended to the realm of a terrestrial immortal when the Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple died and the position of terrestrial immortal became vacant!" Canghe replied with a slight bow.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige was quite surprised. He never expected that the recruitment order would attract so many experts.

"What a series of good things! We just received Kunlun's surrender, and now a terrestrial immortal has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun and Cang He bowed in congratulations:

"It is all thanks to His Majesty's power that such results have been achieved!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Let's invite them to the back garden for a chat!"

Xia Taige was very curious whether this person had come to the capital because of the recruitment order.

If so, this person would indeed be the first terrestrial immortal realm expert to choose to join the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Yes!" Canghe responded and then disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, on a bustling street in the capital, Cang He suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

"You are too kind, sir!"

Upon seeing the crane appear openly and honestly, the middle-aged man immediately realized that the newcomer must be someone from the imperial court.

Since arriving in the capital, he has made no attempt to conceal his aura, so it is only natural that the court would find out.

"By order of His Majesty, I have come to invite our distinguished guest to a meeting in the Imperial City!" Canghe bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man wasn't too surprised. Since he had chosen to come to the capital, he had naturally made preparations.

"I'd be better off obeying, please!"

"Please!" With that, the crane disappeared into the bustling city, paying no heed to the reactions of the people around it.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man followed closely behind.

The next moment, the two figures appeared in the back garden of the imperial city.

Upon entering the back garden, the middle-aged man immediately recognized Xia Taige's extraordinary qualities. Without hesitation, he bowed slightly and said:

"This humble subject, Yu Xiu, pays his respects to the Emperor of the Great Xia!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige smiled, looked at Yu Xiu in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Please get up!"

"I never expected that the recruitment order would bring me such a pleasant surprise!"

Aside from the Great Xia Ancestor, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this person will be the first native land immortal realm expert recruited by the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I am but a commoner and a mere soldier, and I dare not accept such praise from Your Majesty!" Yu Xiu replied politely upon hearing this.

Even while living deep in the mountains, Yu Xiu already knew many of Xia Taige's legendary stories.

Even his ability to ascend to the realm of terrestrial immortals is inextricably linked to Xia Taige.

Without Xia Taige's sudden emergence, it's unknown how many years would have passed before the vacancy of a terrestrial immortal realm expert on the Chinese continent became apparent.

However, given his own lifespan at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, it's clear he can't outlive these powerful beings at the Land Immortal realm.
