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

The following day, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion released a list that instantly caused a sensation throughout the entire Chinese continent!

Within just a few hours, the entire martial arts world was in an uproar!

For the first time, many people in the martial arts world had such a close-up look at a powerful figure at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!

For a long time, most people in the martial arts world only learned about the records of Grandmaster-level experts from novels and autobiographies.

Now, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has not only introduced the various Grandmaster-level experts in detail, but also ranked them according to their strength!

The announcement of this list caused an uproar throughout the land. No one had ever imagined that so many Grandmaster-level experts were hidden in the martial arts world!

Moreover, many well-known powerhouses have not even made it onto the list!

Furthermore, those with keen insight discovered that the Great Xia Dynasty alone had three Grandmaster-level experts on the ranking list.

Even more surprisingly, the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty has topped the Grandmaster rankings!

Although the Buddha of Daleiyin Temple claimed to have reached the peak of Grandmaster level yesterday, many people still consider this to be nonsense!

The current crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is only in his early twenties, and many people simply cannot believe that he could break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm at such a young age!

Even if a powerful expert from the Great Thunderclap Temple at the Land Immortal Realm were to endorse it, it would still be the same!

People in the martial arts world are all proud and arrogant; who would be willing to admit that the gap between themselves and others is so great!

Many people even suspect that the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple was threatened by the Great Xia Dynasty, which is why he had no choice but to create such a favorable image for the Crown Prince of Great Xia!

Of course, the Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple also has credibility. Most people still believe that as a powerful being in the realm of terrestrial immortals, he would never make wild claims!

However, at this moment, another force stepped forward and directly acknowledged the strength of the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the scales in people's hearts gradually tipped towards belief!

With the release of the list, many forces across the Chinese mainland turned their attention to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, wondering what its purpose was!

Some astute individuals, sensing something unusual from recent major events, realized that the martial arts world was currently turbulent and chose to remain secluded.

Some even take advantage of the chaos in the martial arts world to fish in troubled waters!

······

Inside the Eastern Palace!

"System sign in!"

Xia Taige had nothing to do today. After getting up and washing up, the first thing he did was sign in!

[Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving Sword Saint Gai Nie!]

[Name: Gai Nie!]

[Strength: Peak Grandmaster!]

"Gold has been withdrawn?" Xia Taige snapped out of his daze and quickly opened the system introduction page!

Xia Taige had heard of the great reputation of the uncle and his sect!

A contemporary successor of the Guigu School, specializing in the vertical sword technique of the School of Diplomacy.

With his life force depleted, he wielded a wooden sword and roamed freely among the late-game players.

"System Summoning!" Xia Taige immediately summoned the system after reading the introduction!

The next moment, a white light flashed, and a handsome man dressed in a white robe with his sideburns hanging down naturally appeared in front of Xia Taige!

"Gai Nie greets Your Highness!" After regaining his composure slightly, Gai Nie nodded in greeting.

"I have long admired the Sword Saint's name and hope that in this realm, I can spread his name throughout the entire Chinese continent!"

Xia Taige looked at the calm and composed Gai Nie in front of him and said with a smile.

In the Chinese mainland, Xia Taige seemed to have never heard of anyone being called a Sword Saint.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gai Nie nodded in response to Xia Taige's expectant gaze.

"Let's stay in the Eastern Palace for a few days first."

"In a few days, I believe the name of the Sword Saint will spread throughout the entire Chinese continent!"

"Yes!"

Xia Taige estimated that within a few days, the two great dynasties would probably launch a purge against the Great Thunder Temple.

At that time, when the three sides are fighting, it will be the time for Gai Nie to make a name for himself!

I wonder what kind of style Gai Nie would have in this realm at full health!

After Gai Nie settled down, Xia Taige left the East Palace and went to the Imperial Study.

Since the matter concerning Buddhism within the Great Xia territory was resolved, Xia Taige has not yet reported it to the Xia Emperor.

It is likely that Emperor Xia thought he had too many things to do and did not send anyone to summon him.

However, now that I have some free time, it would be a real shame not to go there again.

After all, the entire imperial city was almost destroyed by the Buddha's palm!

Just as Xia Taige stepped outside the Imperial Study, he ran into Prince Qi, Xia Chuzhou!

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Looking at Xia Taige before him, Prince Qi dared not be negligent any further.

At this moment, King Qi finally understood why Xia Taige had quietly seized the position of crown prince.

No one could believe that Xia Taige, who was only in his early twenties, was already a powerful expert at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!

Looking back, it only dawned on me now.

Xia Taige's statement at the time, "My opponents have never been you all!" truly came from the bottom of his heart.

King Qi asked himself, "Since Xia Taige entered the Eastern Palace, he has accomplished things that I myself could never have done in my entire life!"

"No need for that, please get up!" Xia Taige looked at the somewhat weathered King Qi in front of him and quickly waved his hand in acknowledgment.

"Is there something you need from Father?" Xia Taige asked casually.

"Your Highness, the region has been suffering from drought for a long time. Therefore, I have come here specifically to request the Emperor's decree to go to the region to take up my post, fight the drought and provide disaster relief, so as to stabilize the people's hearts!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige nodded. As a member of the royal family, he naturally had to do what he could for the people of Great Xia!

"Well? Has Father Emperor agreed?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor's decree has been issued, and I will be going to my fiefdom soon!" Prince Qi replied.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige frowned, then relaxed.

"That's true! With a drought looming, it's better to be hasty!"

After saying this, Xia Taige casually took out a token from his pocket and handed it to the King of Qi.

"In the future, if you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, you can take this order to the Zhenwu Division branch, and someone will solve them for you!"

Although the Zhenwu Division has not yet spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it is only a matter of time!

Moreover, the Zhenwu Division's power has spread throughout the entire Chinese continent; everyone knows it.

Although the King of Qi was a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he did not have the authority to mobilize the Zhenwu Division.

Having this token will make things much easier for King Qi in the future.

Upon hearing this, King Qi stared blankly at the token before him for a moment before finally reaching out to take it. He then bowed solemnly to Xia Taige.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing this, Xia Taige stepped forward to help him up, and casually said:

"We're brothers, why are you doing this? Let's go back and prepare!"

"Yes! Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige waved helplessly and walked into the Imperial Study!

King Qi stood there, watching Xia Taige's figure gradually disappear into the Imperial Study. After a long while, he finally came to his senses, turned around, and left!

King Qi knew in his heart that after this parting, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital!
