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

"As for the Black Night Organization's recruitment of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, let Cang He decide for himself."

"If there is any need, the dynasty will do its utmost to meet it."

The current Tianji Pavilion is not much different from the original structure of the Chinese mainland, except that there is no immortal presiding over it. It may still have hope of unifying the region.

In situations where the circumstances are unclear, it might be possible to secretly control a region and enjoy its fortune by relying on the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

In this way, the powerful beings at the Land Immortal Realm who sign in later can be secretly sent to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

If I could sign in and encounter an immortal, that would be even better.

We can only hope that the system will be more efficient in the future, but there has been no sign-in in the past year, so it seems that apart from task rewards, the chances are slim.

Shaking his head, Xia Taige was not disappointed. After all, judging from the current strength, the Great Xia Dynasty was already very powerful.

It's just a little later, that's all.

"Yes!" Cao Zhengchun replied.

"As for the Xu family, I have ordered the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to make secret contact and ascertain their strength and resources as soon as possible."

Xia Taige always felt that the Xu family was no ordinary family. They were able to control a region with the strength of a single family, which seemed extraordinary.

If it were like the Boundless Holy Land, where a sect controls a region, Xia Taige wouldn't care so much.

The more unknown Xia Taige was about this mysterious family, the more curious he became about what was going on within it.

"Yes!"

"Those two families and sects that were killed by Zhang Sanfeng and others, let the Hall of Worship send people to wipe them out!"

"Yes!"

After arranging the matters, Cao Zhengchun bowed and left.

Not long after Cao Zhengchun left, Xia Taige's expression changed, and the next moment, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace appeared in the main hall.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty." More than a year has passed, and the Heavenly Palace Lord still addresses the emperor with an unnatural tone when he says "Your humble servant."

"What is it?" Xia Taige asked the Heavenly Palace Master in front of him, puzzled.

In the past year or so, apart from Xia Taige issuing an imperial decree to summon him, today is the first time that the Lord of the Heavenly Palace has taken the initiative to come.

Xia Taige had no other thoughts about the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. In the past year or so, Xia Taige had only met him twice.

"Your Majesty, I have been at the level of a terrestrial immortal for thousands of years. Now that the barrier has broken, I wish to go to the outside world to seek a chance to become an immortal."

"This will add to the cultural heritage of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission to come this time!"

Bing Youxue felt extremely conflicted about this matter. She had been a terrestrial immortal for thousands of years, and now there were two immortals in the Great Xia Dynasty. The closer she got to this point, the more anxious she became.

Now, the desire to become an immortal has become his obsession.

Even if one's lifespan is guaranteed, one cannot be happy if one cannot become an immortal.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige shook his head, not optimistic about Bing Youxue's desire to become an immortal.

The path to immortality has blocked countless exceptionally talented individuals, with many regional prodigies stopping at the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Becoming an immortal is harder than ascending to heaven.

"Now, the desire to become an immortal has become an obsession."

"Perhaps one day you'll have an epiphany, and the hope of becoming an immortal will come to you on its own," Xia Taige offered a helpful suggestion.

Xia Taige was unaware of the path to immortality; it was a natural progression.

But as an immortal, he could see at a glance Bing Youxue's current obsession.

With his current mindset, it's clear that he has no hope of becoming an immortal.

Upon hearing this, Bing Youxue shook her head bitterly, knowing full well the extent of her own obsession.

But how can one simply forget the obsession that has plagued them for thousands of years?

If that were truly the case, even immortals probably couldn't do it.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, Bing Youxue is willing to go and try, just to ease the regret in her heart.

"I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!" Bing Youxue was quite stubborn. She naturally understood Xia Taige's suggestion, but she had waited for thousands of years for the barrier to be opened so that she could go to the outside world to seek a glimmer of hope.

He originally thought that the barrier of the Chinese mainland was trapping him on the path to immortality, but in the past few days he has discovered that this is not the case.

After trying for several days, the path to immortality remained hopeless.

At this point, there was no other way to go except through the outside world.

"Fine, since you've made up your mind, then so be it!"

"Before you leave, go and see your temple master. Perhaps he can give you some pointers on the path to immortality."

Seeing that Bing Youxue had made up her mind, Xia Taige did not try to persuade her any further.

There's no point in trying to persuade them further now; it's better to let them go and give it a try.

Upon hearing this, Bing Youxue was quite surprised and gave Xia Taige a grateful look.

For him, being shown the path to immortality was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

Many powerful beings at the terrestrial immortal realm have never seen an immortal in their entire lives, even after living for a thousand years.

Bing Youxue naturally cherished this opportunity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"If I ever hope to become an immortal, I will definitely return to Great Xia and serve His Majesty!" Bing Youxue bowed and thanked him for his promise.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige had no doubts. Based on his understanding of Bing Youxue, he naturally knew that she was a person of her word.

After a moment's thought, Xia Taige picked up his brush and wrote an imperial edict, which he presented to Bing Youxue.

"This imperial edict can help you escape your predicament in times of crisis."

"This can be considered as a token of gratitude for the Great Xia Dynasty's contributions to you over the past thousands of years."

If it weren't for Bingyouxue erasing history for the Xuanzong secret treasure thousands of years ago, the treasure probably wouldn't have lasted until the unification of the Great Xia Dynasty, or even until the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It must have been destroyed thousands of years ago.

In this sense, the Great Xia Dynasty owes a favor.

This imperial edict can be seen as repayment for the kindness shown to him in protecting the Chinese mainland for thousands of years.

Moreover, if Bing Youxue really has a chance to become an immortal, it will also enhance the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty. No matter what the purpose is, this trip will not be a loss.

This investment is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

As for whether he would return to serve the Great Xia after becoming an immortal, Xia Taige had never thought about that question.

After all, he was able to restrain himself for thousands of years in order to have the chance to become an immortal, and he did not break the secret treasure. Given his actions, he would certainly not break his promise.

Xia Taige believed that her judgment was correct.

Moreover, the life-saving item was originally intended to thank them for protecting the Great Xia. Even if they break their promise, the Great Xia will not suffer any loss.

For Xia Taige, the imperial edict, while not entirely without any cost, was not a major drain on him either. He recovered within a few hours and it did not pose a significant threat to his health.

Upon hearing this, Bing Youxue's face lit up with joy, for with her status, she naturally knew the power of this imperial edict.

It is sufficient for him to handle any crisis below the level of an immortal.

Bing Youxue never expected that Xia Taige would bestow this item upon her.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for bestowing this treasure!" Bing Youxue bowed deeply once again.

The importance of this item is such that even the Holy Son of the Boundless Holy Land and the Third Prince of the Nine Rising Dynasty do not possess it, which gives an idea of ​​its significance.
