The Third Prince briefly closed his eyes, indicating his tacit agreement. The Songyang Empire is a vast empire with extensive territory, abundant resources, and a large population, wielding significant power. However, due to conflicts with the Nanshan Sect and Songyang Hall, the royal family of the Songyang Empire was overthrown in just ten years. Everyone knows that it was the Nanshan Sect that violated public opinion, but no one dared to speak out about it.
Huangfu Jiayin continued, "In fact, Your Highness the Second Prince also knows that the more fragmented the forces in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain are, the more beneficial it is for the royal family's rule. The more concentrated power becomes, the less checks and balances there are, allowing them to act recklessly without following rules. Therefore, the Wuda Empire should oppose the centralization of the two major sects rather than assist them."
However, Huangfu Jiayin then shifted his tone and said, "Your Highness the Second Prince must also understand this principle and would not want to be used by others. The forces represented by the Third Prince must have other backers, right?"
Upon hearing Huangfu Jiayin's sudden question, the Third Prince was taken aback. He quickly composed himself and laughed heartily, saying, "Since we are on this topic, I will be straightforward. It is Tai Dou Pavilion that wants to establish a large base in our Waydao Empire to prepare for the impending chaos in the world. Our Waydao Empire is located in the central part of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, making it relatively safe from incursions by other forces. Therefore, they plan to build a large base here as a precaution. However, they do not wish for any local Major Power to oppose them."
Huangfu Jiayin, having gathered intelligence over the past month, already understood the stakes involved and immediately replied, "Third Prince, you should look at this matter from a different perspective. For Tai Dou Pavilion, while it is a significant faction, cooperating with them may not yield substantial benefits for you and you cannot control them; the risks are considerable. On the other hand, Dao Zhen Sect has several factions within Waydao Empire that are easier to manage and connect with. You can also leverage imperial authority to impose restrictions on them; they won't dare to go back on their word. If you need anything, they can lend you a helping hand."
"As for Tai Dou Pavilion, that is merely a fleeting concern. If Third Prince can rely on Warrior's Pavilion while also securing support from five factions within the empire, your influence will surely be remarkable—at least not weaker than that of other princes. I urge Your Highness the Second Prince to think carefully."
The Third Prince lamented, "I think so too; however, my connections with you are limited and I have no ties with Dao Zhen Sect. Tai Dou Pavilion has taken the initiative to befriend me. How can I navigate this situation?"
Luo Fang immediately responded, "What Third Prince says is absolutely correct. The location of Waydao Empire is excellent; I believe Warrior's Pavilion will also consider this place as an important base for development. At that time, we will certainly rely on Third Prince's strength to some extent. Our support for Third Prince will definitely not be less than that of Tai Dou Pavilion."
Huangfu Jiayin also tempted him by saying, "Third Prince, everything depends on human effort. I can help Your Highness the Second Prince connect with these factions; they have developed to their current stage and can be utilized right away without needing to cultivate new alliances with other forces. This is one of the advantages of gaining their support."
Luo Fang added directly, "Third Prince, let's speak plainly: as long as Third Prince can strongly support us, we will certainly provide corresponding rewards."
The Third Prince began to take these two individuals seriously. On one hand, they were actively seeking his favor which made him feel very positive about them since his current position was quite awkward; his father was indifferent towards him while his brothers were both supportive and antagonistic at times. He desperately needed strong allies.
On the other hand, since these two dared to openly express their support for him, it indicated their confidence in his future prospects which greatly encouraged him. They could bring a powerful force within Waydao Empire to support him; this would significantly enhance his influence within the royal family.
Thus his mind began to race: "If that's the case, we could indeed cooperate. But I must receive substantial benefits in return."
Huangfu Jiayin slowly replied, "Of course I can convey your requests to negotiate with them; however, they are facing all princes and their range of choices is much broader than yours as a prince. How will you provide them with benefits?"
The Third Prince was taken aback. What? He still had to offer them benefits? He had never considered making a deal with the Major Power and was completely unprepared. But upon deeper reflection, as a prince, if he could not seize control of the world in the future, he would indeed be of no use to the Major Power!
Once he realized this fact, the Third Prince's mindset began to change. Yes, if he wanted them to serve him, what could he offer them in return?
At that moment, a remark from Huangfu Jiayin made the Third Prince decide to cooperate with him.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, if you authorize me, I will not only bring several gang forces to assist you but also gather a few princes to form an alliance with you for mutual benefit. This way, your interests will be maximally guaranteed. I believe this is something Your Highness would very much like to see."
The Third Prince's eyes widened: several princes united? That sounded fantastic. Of course, he immediately thought of a few weaker princes who could rely on him, significantly boosting his own power. However, he quickly realized that in order to bring those princes under his wing, he would need some external support, and the gangs Huangfu Jiayin mentioned were the best choice.
Talking with smart people was truly effortless. Once they understood these principles, the conversation among the three flowed smoothly. Gradually, they began to plot against other princes as if they were family, and Huangfu Jiayin and Luo Fang learned many royal secrets.
Under Huangfu Jiayin's coordination, they gradually reached a framework and established a foundational document for their cooperation.
Guan Yue was growing increasingly fond of the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture.
As he delved deeper into his cultivation of the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture, he discovered that all the techniques he had learned in the past were completely encompassed by it. Moreover, through the integration of the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture, they became components of his astonishing Combat Power.
Techniques such as Li Zu Divine Fist, Seven Star Sword Technique, Nine Types of Will, Devouring Power, Dissolution Power, Spatial Power, Primordial Power, Power of Spatial Competition, Blood Power, Consciousness Power, Mental Power, and Soul Power could all be recombined and reorganized through the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture.
When Guan Yue began cultivating the Time Secret obtained from the Celestial Repository, his Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture started to evolve into a more advanced form. Over these days, he had been amazed by his own choice: the function of time was truly remarkable!
With the time function in place, his vast Source Energy from Yongning Continent could also be integrated into the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture and play an important role. Furthermore, his Ninth-Dimensional Space, Yuli Huanfu Technique, and even Concealment Technique could be applied within the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture.
Utilizing time abilities meant that under suitable conditions, he could even employ Magic Supreme Technique to complete Desolate Profound Realm Cultivator.
He decided that from now on, he would focus on cultivating the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture based on time and Spatial Ability as his primary method. He aimed to cultivate this technique to its peak level because he firmly believed that once he mastered this skill, he would essentially be able to walk freely in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
With this goal in mind, Guan Yue let out a huge sigh of relief. Finally clarifying his direction for effort was more important than anything else!
At this time, the Nanshan Sect, as the main force, began a large-scale search for the demon Guan Yue throughout the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Since the Nanshan Sect possessed techniques capable of seeing through Guan Yue's invisibility, the search operation was led by them. The Nanshan Sect took this opportunity to create chaos across the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain, rampantly searching for treasures and mineral deposits, and even using this as a pretext to eliminate dissenters and expand their influence.
Capturing Guan Yue became their best excuse for committing any wrongdoing.
The Invincible Giant Warship was still being operated by the original Disciples, but these Disciples had been manipulated by Guan Yue's Mental Manipulation Technique, and they now only knew to execute Guan Yue's commands.
Due to its massive size, the Invincible would cause a stir wherever it appeared, drawing various forces like pilgrims flocking to its location, which greatly troubled Guan Yue.
Thus, he flew directly out to sea, away from the continent, heading towards the Waydao Empire. Since this battleship was currently the most advanced in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, no other battleship could catch up to it. However, the Nanshan Sect could detect its general location, so despite Guan Yue flying around the sea, there were still ships and battleships attempting to intercept him. Of course, Fang West was very happy to fire at them; she was a girl who wasn't afraid of trouble.
Guan Yue had also heard about Feng Zhi Yi, Xuanyuan Wujie, Xiao Fei, and others passing several levels of the Ascension Ladder. He also heard that Lei Zhenxiao's performance was looked down upon. However, Guan Yue understood very well that the design of the Ascension Ladder only assessed various aspects of an individual's abilities and did not measure Combat Power. For instance, although Lei Zhenxiao's climbing ability might not be impressive, his Combat Power was undeniable. He was not weaker than Feng Zhi Yi in terms of Combat Power. Therefore, Guan Yue set this information aside.
However, he remembered Xuanyuan Wujie and Xiao Fei. Fang West then stubbornly said, "I want to try the Ascension Ladder too and see if I have potential; maybe I can become an immortal as well."
But soon they discovered a serious problem: this giant ship required energy. Its energy source was Fire Opal!
There were many Fire Opal mines in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, but they had all been divided among various Major Powers. Now that Guan Yue had seized the Invincible, all Major Powers began strengthening their defenses over Fire Opal mines.
Fire Opal not only served as energy for ships and battleships but also provided energy for Disciples. However, in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, Disciples' cultivation was generally unrelated to energy; thus, it was usually regarded merely as an energy stone.
Upon realizing this situation, Guan Yue began collecting Fire Opal in large quantities and stored them all in Sky Peak Tower. Some smaller pieces were also placed into his Cosmic Board Ring and belt.
