My son-in-law from a celestial sect, all my offspring are Heavenly Emperors.

"Since the Blood Demon Sect's attitude is unclear, then we don't need to pay them any attention," the Old Demon of Hehuan said coldly.

The Great Zhou Empire has been nurtured for so long that there is no need to nurture it any longer; it must be harvested.

Otherwise, if this continues, the Great Zhou Empire will be turned into a behemoth.

"Alright, the Blood Demon Sect's attitude is unclear, so let's ignore them. We've been planning this for so long, we're sure we can take them down." The patriarch of the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Sect stopped wasting words and prepared to launch the plan.

Regardless of the Corpse Puppet Sect or the Hundred Ghosts Sect, they are both considered top-tier forces, ranking among the top 20 in the Tianxuan Continent.

In particular, these three major sects have some forces behind them that are controlled by them.

They've been holding back for so long, all for the sake of pulling off something big.

The Great Zhou Empire has powerful backers, and what they need to do is take advantage of this opportunity to completely control the Great Zhou Empire.

In fact, there was one thing the Old Demon Hehuan didn't say: they had only one purpose in doing this, which was to completely control the Great Zhou Empire.

Especially Chu Tianxing; as long as Chu Tianxing is controlled, the Hehuan Sect can continuously produce outstanding talents.

At that time, the Hehuan Sect will dominate the Tianxuan Continent.

The higher the quality of the cauldron, the more their primordial yin and primordial yang will be absorbed, thus enhancing their cultivation level.

This is why the Old Demon of Hehuan set his sights on these prodigies born from Chu Tianxing.

If you drain the essence of these people, your cultivation will definitely break through to the Immortal Realm, and then you can ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Because the Great Zhou Empire is developing too rapidly, they don't have much time left.

If they are not controlled, it won't be long before their Great Zhou Empire becomes a behemoth.

Therefore, Chu Tianxing must be controlled by their Hehuan Sect.

"What did you say? Riots have broken out in many immortal cities of our Great Zhou Empire? What on earth is going on?" Empress Wu Zetian had been managing the Great Zhou Empire, and when she heard that riots had broken out in the immortal cities of the Great Zhou Empire, she was shocked beyond words. She simply couldn't understand which ignorant force would dare to offend their Great Zhou Empire now.

"Sister, do you know who caused this riot in the Immortal City?" Liu Piaopiao asked coldly, looking at Wu Zhao's angry face.

"Sister, tell me, what exactly happened? Could it be the work of those demons from the Hehuan Sect?" Wu Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after hearing what the other person said.

"Sister, nothing really can be hidden from you. The attacks on so many immortal cities are inextricably linked to the Hehuan Sect." Liu Piaopiao was extremely speechless when she talked about this matter. She wanted to lash out, but she held back in the end.

The reason why the Hehuan Sect dared to launch an attack on their Great Zhou Empire at this critical juncture was undoubtedly because they were well-prepared.

"These scum from the Hehuan Sect actually dare to be enemies with our Great Zhou Empire. They're courting death." After hearing the other party's words, a cold light flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes.

For some time now, they had been on guard against a surprise attack or retaliation from the Hehuan Sect. However, decades have passed, and the Hehuan Sect has not retaliated against their Great Zhou Empire. It's as if nothing has happened. They thought that the Hehuan Sect had backed down and dared not or were unwilling to be enemies with their Great Zhou Empire.

But now, this kind of thing has actually happened.

"Our Great Zhou Empire is developing very fast. The Hehuan Sect dared to make a move this time, so they must have come prepared. What is the situation of our Great Zhou Empire's Immortal City this time?" Liu Piaopiao looked at Wu Zhao with a serious expression.

This time, their Great Zhou Empire truly underestimated the Hehuan Sect.

"What's the situation? Could it be that they've been completely routed?" Wu Zhao frowned upon hearing this. If they couldn't destroy the Hehuan Sect, then they would be mortal enemies from now on.

Previously, the Hehuan Sect's targeting of the Great Zhou Empire was only superficial; they did not take any outrageous actions in secret. Otherwise, how could the Great Zhou Empire have developed peacefully for decades?

After Liu Piaopiao's explanation, Wu Zhao realized that the people of the Hehuan Sect were too despicable and shameless, actually using such a vile means as seduction to bewitch the army of immortal masters guarding the city.

For a celestial kingdom to develop, besides having a suitable leader, the lord of this celestial city must be a man of great talent to completely control the city. Otherwise, if some villains target it and use underhanded tactics, the celestial city of the Great Zhou Empire will immediately have flaws and be directly controlled by the Hehuan Sect.

After hearing what had happened, Wu Zhao was nothing but furious.

The Great Zhou Empire has developed too quickly.

Although the imperial court has absolute say over these armies, these cultivators are no longer fighting individually, which is a good thing.

The key issue is that these immortal masters only obey the orders of their superiors. They are completely brainless and act like idiots. They do whatever they are told to do and have strict discipline.

But now things have changed. These lowly bastards from the Hehuan Sect have seized control of the city's generals and thus the entire immortal city, causing many immortal cities in the Great Zhou Empire to change hands.

In this way, all these years of development for the Great Zhou Empire have been used to benefit others.

After decades of development, the Great Zhou Empire has expanded many of its immortal cities outwards, modeled after the Forbidden City.

Because of the Forbidden City Royal Auction House, the Forbidden City has a large flow of people, and many powerful forces enter the city. The Immortal City has also developed to a considerable scale, with countless immortal masters entering the city every day, earning a very considerable amount of spirit stones.

That's not all. You run a shop in the city, and every year you can receive a considerable amount of spirit stones as tax revenue.

But now things are different. The immortal city of the Great Zhou Empire has changed hands. Whoever controls the immortal city can protect the merchants in the immortal city and collect their spirit stone taxes.

The Great Zhou Empire has suffered heavy losses. Unless it sends a large army of immortal masters to subdue the immortal city and then sends a top expert to oversee it, it will be able to reclaim the lost immortal city.

"Sister, do you think we should talk to our husband about this?" Huang Cuicui seemed hesitant to speak.

"Sister, just say what you want to say." Wu Zhao frowned after hearing what Huang Cuicui said, feeling that Huang Cuicui had something to say.

"This time, the Hehuan Sect is coming with great force. According to the news from the Giant Sword Sect, the Hehuan Sect has joined forces with several immortal sects to harm our Great Zhou Empire, including several evil sects." Huang Cuicui looked at Liu Piaopiao as she spoke. Liu Piaopiao was a member of the Blood Demon Sect.

Huang Cuicui is the Holy Maiden of the Giant Sword Sect, and she can hear news about the Joyful Union Sect's plans to harm the Great Zhou Empire. Liu Piaopiao should know even more about this than they do.

"This matter involves the Hehuan Sect, the Corpse Puppet Sect, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect. It's a conspiracy they plotted against my husband." Liu Piaopiao didn't want to hide this matter, but she also couldn't hide it from him.

The Blood Demon Sect received invitations from the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect, wanting to join forces against Chu Tianxing of the Great Zhou Empire.

Because of Liu Piaopiao, the Blood Demon Sect naturally wouldn't target the Great Zhou Empire.

But now things are different. The Blood Demon Sect's attempt to stall for time is futile. The Joyful Union Sect is still going to take action against the Great Zhou Empire, and they've delivered such a generous gift right off the bat.

In fact, Chu Tianxing already knew that the Hehuan Sect, the Corpse Puppet Sect, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect wanted to deal with the Great Zhou Empire, as Liu Piaopiao had mentioned it to him.

Chu Tianxing also knew that the Hehuan Sect was going to take action against them.

However, the Hehuan Sect hadn't made a move for decades, which left them speechless, so the matter was shelved.

For the first few decades, they were still wary of the Hehuan Sect's ambitions. However, after Chu Tianxing sent these princes to the top cultivation sects on the Tianxuan Continent, the Hehuan Sect went quiet, so Chu Tianxing didn't take it to heart.

Now things are really messed up. The Hehuan Sect suddenly launched an attack, catching them completely off guard and taking control of all the immortal cities within the Great Zhou Empire.

"These immortal cities are under control, which is a minor issue. What we need to do now is to gather all our forces together and attack the Hehuan Sect," Chu Tianxing said calmly to the women.

"What did you say? We're going to attack the Hehuan Sect? With our Great Zhou Empire alone?" Wu Zhao, Liu Piaopiao, and Huang Cuicui frowned after hearing Chu Tianxing's suggestion, unable to understand why he would have such an idea.

The Great Zhou Empire was, after all, just a celestial kingdom, and it had not yet fully matured. Although after several decades of development, the Great Zhou Empire had a few experts at the Mahayana realm, it was simply impossible to compare with the deeply rooted Hehuan Sect.

As for the backers of the Great Zhou Empire, it is true that the Great Zhou Empire has backers, namely these super powers.

However, it's plausible to say that the Great Zhou Empire had no powerful backers.

Because the other party is only somewhat related to Chu Tianxing, and his offspring have joined these cultivation sects to cultivate, it is simply impossible for these cultivation sects to become Chu Tianxing's backers.

Unless his descendants become high-ranking members of these super powers.

However, after only a few decades of development, although these descendants are incredibly talented, they have not broken through to the Mahayana realm. As long as they cannot break through to the Mahayana realm, it is simply impossible for them to become high-ranking members of these powerful forces.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to expect these forces to help the Great Zhou Empire.

If the Great Zhou Empire clashes with these forces, it would be good if these immortal sects didn't take advantage of the situation.

It's impossible to expect these people to help the Great Zhou Empire.

These immortal sects excel at the art of balance, much like the governance of these countries, which also emphasizes the principle of balance.

These top powers in the Tianxuan Continent are not entirely allies of the Great Zhou Empire; they are also extremely wary of and unfamiliar with it.

Chu Tianxing was able to nurture some outstanding disciples, and these outstanding disciples all joined these top immortal sects.

However, over the decades, Chu Tianxing has supplied too many geniuses to these top immortal sects, which has also consumed a lot of cultivation resources.

There are so many geniuses that they've become as worthless as cabbages on the street.

In the first few years, these geniuses were treated like precious treasures, given all sorts of cultivation resources, and helped to improve their cultivation.

However, in recent years, these immortal sects have also had their own considerations. If they wait for these geniuses to fully grow up, then the Great Zhou Empire will become a behemoth in the Tianxuan Continent even if it does nothing. Therefore, these immortal sects naturally do not want to see a force suddenly fall from the sky and climb directly on their heads.

"Send word to all the princes and princesses of our Great Zhou Empire back to the Great Zhou Empire. I want to gather these offspring together for training," Chu Tianxing said.

Wu Zhao and the others were somewhat bewildered by Chu Tianxing's words. They simply couldn't understand why Chu Tianxing would make such a decision.

However, considering that these children also have their own sects, if these children were brought back, they could naturally help the Great Zhou Empire.

Therefore, although Wu Zhao and the others had doubts, they still did as Chu Tianxing instructed.

"Husband, what should we do with these lost immortal cities?" Wu Zhao asked Chu Tianxing with a frown.

"We don't need to worry about these lost counties. We just need to guard our capital, the Forbidden City. Once all these descendants return to the Forbidden City, that will be the time for us to attack the Hehuan Sect." Just now, Chu Tianxing had received a time-space secret realm as a system reward. The flow of time inside this secret realm was 1 to 1000 compared to the outside.

By injecting spirit stones into this spatial-temporal secret realm, the time within it can be altered. What might be a day outside could be a year, or even longer, within this secret realm.

Chu Tianxing knew that the Hehuan Sect's Old Demon Hehuan was one of the world's top experts. To take down the Hehuan Sect, he needed to be able to kill the Old Demon Hehuan. However, apart from Chu Tianxing, it seemed that no expert in the Great Ascension Realm in the Great Zhou Empire could kill the Old Demon Hehuan.

Actually, it's not that Chu Tianxing can kill the Hehuan Old Demon, but rather that once Chu Tianxing recalls all his descendants and sends them into the Time-Space Secret Realm to cultivate, Chu Tianxing's cultivation will likely be breaking through, and that will be the best time to destroy the Hehuan Sect.

Similarly, when Chu Tianxing said he wanted to attack the Hehuan Sect, it wasn't just an angry outburst; he genuinely intended to do so.

This was also a time for Chu Tianxing to test people's hearts. He wanted to see which forces, after years of development and management, were willing to stand on the same side as their Great Zhou Empire.

If these forces are unwilling to stand on the same side as him, and instead tend to kick him when he's down, then Chu Tianxing wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

As Chu Tianxing's offspring gradually returned to the Forbidden City, Chu Tianxing sent them into secret realms to cultivate, which caused Chu Tianxing's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, changing every day.

Just as Chu Tianxing was enjoying the thrill of his breakthrough, the Hehuan Sect members learned that Chu Tianxing had gathered these forces and intended to take action against them.

The Hehuan Sect naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for its demise. It took the initiative to launch an attack, gathering all its allies and bringing them together to the Forbidden City of the Great Zhou Empire.
