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

After returning to the East Palace, Xia Taige sat alone in the main hall. Thinking of Emperor Xia's unchanging ways over the past twenty years, his earlier desire to travel the world gradually faded.

After some internal struggle, I finally shook my head and decided to wait until another day.

He called Lao Huang over and told him his thoughts. Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang was overjoyed.

Who would want to go out and suffer in the world, exposed to the elements, when they can lie down and enjoy delicious food every day and occasionally work as a rickshaw driver?

"Your Highness is wise!" Jian Jiuhuang stepped forward with a cheerful smile and flattered him.

Xia Taige rolled her eyes and ignored her.

The following morning, I decided not to attend court.

After washing up, the first thing to do is sign in.

"System sign in!"

[Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving the Imperial Seal of the State!]

[The Imperial Seal of the State encapsulates the destiny of an entire dynasty; by binding the host to the seal, one can cultivate the Emperor's Technique ahead of schedule!]

Upon seeing this, Xia Taige was overjoyed!

After being a weakling for so long, it's finally time to rise up!

"System, cultivate the Emperor's Technique!"

[Note: Once bound to the Emperor's Law, the host's life will be linked to the Great Xia Dynasty. If the Great Xia Dynasty falls, the host will die and be unable to reincarnate!]

[Please consider this carefully, host!]

"Don't even think about it, let's start cultivating!"

As soon as Xia Taige finished speaking, he felt streams of profound and mysterious energy flowing into his body!

The next moment, his cultivation level suddenly increased.

The progression from eighth rank, ninth rank, acquired, innate, grandmaster, great grandmaster, and finally to the terrestrial immortal realm, gradually came to a halt.

Reach the sky in one step.

Xia Taige closed his eyes tightly, calmed his mind, and silently felt the great power within his body.

At this moment, a feeling of omnipotence lingered in my heart.

Opening his eyes, Xia Taige could clearly see streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. As he unconsciously circulated the Emperor's Technique, the spiritual energy was drawn into his body.

At this moment, Xia Taige felt all the fatigue from a day outside vanish.

My body felt inexplicably comfortable and at ease.

"Let's get to it! Let's get to it! Let's get to it!"

Xia Taige excitedly muttered to himself.

At this moment, Xia Taige no longer needed to worry about acting timidly.

The matter of suppressing Buddhism was quickly put on the agenda.

Before destroying Buddhism, Xia Taige suddenly realized there was one more place he needed to go.

In a flash, Xia Taige disappeared from the East Palace.

When it reappeared, it was already outside the imperial mausoleum.

The guards outside the imperial mausoleum, seeing Xia Taige suddenly appear before them, quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting:

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xia Taige nodded in response:

"I have important business to attend to upon opening the imperial tomb!"

"Yes!" the two replied and quickly stepped forward to open the gate of the imperial mausoleum.

Xia Taige entered the imperial mausoleum and walked deeper into it.

Deep within the imperial mausoleum, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xia Taige, who was walking towards him. His eyes lit up immediately.

Not long after, Xia Taige met the patriarch of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had been ruling Great Xia for hundreds of years.

The old man sat cross-legged in the center, looking kindly at Xia's precious son.

Upon seeing this, Xia Taige bowed respectfully.

"Xia Taige greets the Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, the old ancestor smiled and looked him up and down before speaking softly:

"No need to be so polite with the Ancestor, please rise!"

"What brings you here today?"

When asked by the patriarch, Xia Taige honestly told him the purpose of his visit.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, we have come here because of the many experts within the Imperial Mausoleum!"

"Now, with the right timing, favorable location, and popular support, it is the perfect time to quell the internal strife in Great Xia!"

"Okay!" the old man nodded with a smile and agreed without asking any further questions.

"If needed, I am always ready to lend a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige was taken aback. Looking at the old man in front of him who was offering his unreserved support, he felt a little puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask something, the old man waved his hand to interrupt him:

"Go ahead and do it, do what you want to do! Don't feel pressured!"

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Seeing that the ancestor had said this, Xia Taige did not linger any longer. He immediately bowed respectfully, said goodbye, and turned to leave!

Xia Taige had just stepped out of the imperial mausoleum when he looked at the two guards in front of him and gave them his orders:

"Ring the great bell to summon all the experts within the imperial tomb!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the two guards, though doubtful, still complied.

"Clang clang clang..."

Three loud chimes awakened all the masters within the imperial tomb.

One by one, they opened their eyes and rushed towards the outside of the imperial tomb.

At this moment, the old man's dignified gaze also turned to this place.

In no time, dozens of experts had gathered in front of Xia Taige.

Looking at the people in front of him, Xia Taige carefully sensed them and found that they were all experts above the Grandmaster level.

Xia Taige nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the group of experts before him and gave the following instructions:

"Let's hold a meeting in the main hall of the Zhenwu Division!"

Having said that, Xia Taige ignored them and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only a group of experts were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Although it was somewhat sudden, the patriarch's gaze was still fixed on this place, so no one dared to say anything more and hurriedly rushed towards the Zhenwu Division.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Zhenwu Division.

Xia Taige, who had suddenly appeared, looked at Zhao Gao in front of him and gave the following instructions:

"Summon all the current directors and commanders in the capital to the main hall for a meeting."

Although Zhao Gao was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions. He bowed in agreement and then turned to leave.

Before long, the experts in the imperial mausoleum, along with the director and commanders of the Zhenwu Division, all came to the scene upon receiving the order.

The experts in the imperial mausoleum were secretly astonished as they watched the Director of the Zhenwu Division and the Commander of a Thousand Households approaching.

Indeed, a great reputation is not undeserved; the Zhenwu Division's high prestige is certainly not unfounded.

The entire Zhenwu Division hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop, as if even the air itself had frozen.

None of the people who came here dared to speak easily; they all stared silently at Xia Taige, who sat in the main seat, looking majestic and imposing.

Xia Taige sat upright on the throne of supreme power, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd below.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the once empty hall was filled with people who came to receive orders.

Just then, Xia Taige called out softly in a deep yet clear voice:

"Donghuang!"

These two words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence in the hall.

However, upon hearing this title, the experts from the imperial mausoleum exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with confusion.

Clearly, they did not know who the "Eastern Emperor" Xia Taige was referring to was.

Just as these experts were secretly speculating, suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the center of the hall like a ghost.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a mysterious mask.

As soon as this person appeared, he bowed to Xia Taige without hesitation.

The members of the Zhenwu Division all nodded to Donghuang Taiyi when they saw him.

The experts at the imperial mausoleum were stunned by this sudden turn of events, their hearts filled with turmoil.

Before anyone could think further, Xia Taige stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said:

"I have gathered you all here today for only one purpose—to destroy Buddhism!"
