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

As time went by, within a year, the entire territory of the Great Xia Dynasty gradually stabilized.

Under the specific responsibility of the governors of the nine provinces, all the original policies of the Great Xia Dynasty were gradually implemented in various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Today, academies, military commands, and imperial guards have been established in all counties of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Under various reforms, the people of the former Great Zhou Dynasty and Great Shang Dynasty gradually became devoted to the Great Xia Dynasty and developed a sense of belonging to it.

Thus, after a year and a half, Xia Taige had fulfilled the long-cherished wish she had made back then.

The chaos on the Chinese mainland has now completely ended, and whether they are martial arts practitioners or the remaining aristocratic families, they all live honestly and lawfully.

In the capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty, within the imperial city, in the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Xia Taige, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, and Peng Zu sat facing each other.

The Lord of the Heavenly Palace clearly felt a pressure emanating from the two of them.

He immediately realized that Xia Taige had clearly broken through to the realm above the terrestrial immortal.

"What does the Ice Palace Master think of the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty?" Xia Taige asked, looking at the dignified Heavenly Palace Master in front of him, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace immediately understood. The reason he had been summoned here today was clearly that Xia Taige was no longer satisfied with the current territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and intended to expand outwards!

"With a multitude of experts, countless trump cards, the support of the people, and an invincible military force!"

Looking back on the past year or so, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace has many feelings.

The Great Xia Dynasty has repeatedly refreshed his understanding.

Such strength is unmatched, even by the ancient Chinese dynasties that have existed for thousands of years.

The mere presence of the Hall Master before him made the Lord of the Heavenly Palace feel as if he were experiencing the majesty of the emperor of the Chinese Dynasty.

The Lord of the Heavenly Palace couldn't understand why someone with such profound power would willingly submit to the Great Xia Dynasty and serve as the so-called Lord of the Offering Hall.

In their understanding, anyone with such strength is undoubtedly a powerful figure in the outside world.

He could be the patriarch of a sacred land, the mastermind behind a secret organization, or the ruler of a sacred dynasty.

Never before has anyone been so subservient to others.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige shook his head, then stood up and slowly asked the Lord of the Heavenly Palace:

"Now the Great Xia Dynasty has millions of elite troops, more than a dozen commanders, more than sixty Grandmaster-level experts, more than thirty Land Immortal-level powerhouses, and one Immortal. With the nation's fortune concentrated, I wonder if with this strength, we have a chance to dominate the outside world?"

Xia Taige only learned of the Heavenly Palace Master's identity after the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was upgraded.

Even Xia Taige had no idea that the stunningly beautiful woman before him was the current princess of the Huaxia Dynasty, who had lived for thousands of years.

Such things were clearly beyond Xia Taige's comprehension. Even though he had checked in to the system hundreds of times, he had never encountered anything so miraculous.

Xia Taige asked himself, within the entire Huaxia Dynasty, apart from himself who cultivated the Emperor's Method, not including Peng Zu, no one had ever had such a long lifespan.

Upon hearing what Xia Taige said, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Even he couldn't have imagined that the Great Xia Dynasty had hidden so many powerful figures.

The sheer number of powerful beings at the terrestrial immortal realm was comparable to that of the then-dominant Chinese dynasty.

In contrast, according to the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the reason why the Huaxia Dynasty had so many powerful figures was because they were attracted by the strength of the reigning emperor and surrendered to him.

It can be said that they were completely disloyal; otherwise, the vast empire would not have collapsed so quickly after the fall of the Chinese dynasty.

This once led to the Chinese mainland being weak for thousands of years.

After a moment of recollection, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace brought his thoughts back to the main hall.

Looking at Xia Taige in front of him, he stood up and solemnly said:

"As far as I know, with the current strength of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is a behemoth even in the outside world!"

"Thousands of years ago, including the Chinese mainland, there were nine regions, and the Chinese mainland was the ninth region!"

“Outside the world, there are powerful dynasties like the Great Xia Dynasty, holy lands where sects are above dynasties, organizations that control everything from behind the scenes, or even powerful hidden families.”

"Each region has its own unique characteristics, making it a veritable garden of a hundred flowers in bloom."

Regarding the opening of the barrier, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace no longer concealed anything and told him everything he knew in detail.

Although thousands of years have passed, the general trend remains unchanged, and it is unlikely that there will be any major changes.

Moreover, the matter of the barrier is not only crucial to his advancement to the realm of immortals, but also concerns the many people who have been implicated by the Chinese dynasty for thousands of years.

Whatever the reason, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace had no reason to hide it.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige and Peng Zu exchanged a glance, but did not have much doubt about what the Lord of the Heavenly Palace had said.

According to the Tianji Pavilion's speculation, the strength of the Chinese dynasties over thousands of years was only so-so.

Given its strength at the time, it could dominate a region; there was no reason why the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't.

Regardless of the outcome, we must give it a try; otherwise, how could Xia Taige be content?

After the Lord of the Heavenly Palace learned about this trip, it was considered a confirmation of Xia Taige's suspicions.

"Where is the border?" Now that he had decided to open the barrier, Xia Taige naturally wanted to know the location of the border so that he could make arrangements in advance.

Otherwise, if it were opened without any preparation, the Chinese mainland would surely become the target of the other eight regions.

If no precautions are taken, chaos is inevitable.

"The lands to the west and south of the Great Xia Dynasty are adjacent to the Eight Regions and the Seven Regions!"

"No more than a hundred miles south of the original Immortal Island lies the Seventh Domain, and several hundred miles to the west of the Xuanzong Domain lies the Eighth Domain!"

“Thousands of years ago, the Eight Regions were holy lands that stood above the dynasties. Each holy land enjoyed the fortune of its own region and was one of the most powerful forces in the entire outside world. Within these holy lands, there were countless experts!”

"The Seven Domains are a chaotic place, a melting pot of all sorts of people, with various forces having branches there, and it has always been in a state of chaos."

"However, thousands of years have passed, and the current state of the Seven Realms is likely to be somewhat different."

The Lord of the Heavenly Palace told him everything he knew in detail.

Even the locations of Xuanzong and the Immortal Island are under his control, clearly indicating that he already had a plan in mind.

Once the Great Xia Dynasty is fully prepared, it will expand outwards and open the door to the outside world.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige pondered for a moment. The place mentioned by the Lord of the Heavenly Palace was quite far from the capital.

Even with Xia Taige's immortal powers, he couldn't investigate further. He could only wait until later to look into it before making a decision.

Now, the entire Chinese continent is on high alert, and arrangements have been made within the Nine Provinces. It is time to expand outwards.

"Thank you for telling me, Princess Ice!" Xia Taige said to her.
