Fang Xingjian looked at the Crown Princess in his hand and frowned. He felt a genuinely troublesome feeling toward such an unbridled yet extremely strong woman.
After giving it some thought he decided to roll up the black paper. Ignoring the Crown Princess’ furious bellow, he swallowed it into his martial will. Then he turned to face all the people present.
Right now, the many experts present were looking at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at a god. It was because the series of means that Ulpian displayed earlier was too unbelievable.
Seeing that Fang Xingjian had caught the black paper, everyone thought it was him who had made those moves earlier.
The Church of Universal Truth’s ten Guardian Kings had already recovered their original appearance, and they stood in an orderly manner behind the two Saints, looking at Fang Xingjian nervously.
Of course, they would be nervous. The battle prowess that Fang Xingjian displayed far surpassed their expectations.
The Oceansky Saint was with the Phenomenal Saint who had been inflicted with serious injuries and was unconscious. He looked at Fang Xingjian, who was in the sky, with a complicated expression.
The Immortality Saint let out a soft sigh as Ulpian had also communicated with him as well. Departing with the 14 sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword, Ulpian left the aftermath for the Immortality Saint and Fang Xingjian to handle.
The Immortality Saint cupped his hands toward Fang Xingjian and said with a solemn expression, “We have to thank the Imperial Preceptor for helping us tide over this tribulation, defeating that seven demonic figures and saving everyone from miseries. You can be said to have saved the entire continent.
“We’ve also suffered serious casualties today and shan’t speak too many excessive words. After we’ve recuperated, we’ll definitely come personally to offer our thanks.”
At the next moment, accompanied by a series of Spatial Translocations, the ten Guardian Kings and the three Saints turned into a sheet of white light and disappeared in the sky without a trace.
Fang Xingjian took a step forward and appeared before the Fourth Prince and the others.
“Calm the people and make arrangements for the various major influences. I still have other things to handle.”
After leaving the task of calming the people to the Fourth Prince and the others, Fang Xingjian returned to the secret chamber in the palace with a flash, leaving the Fourth Prince and the others exchanging glances with each other.
With Fang Xingjian’s departure, the experts from the various major influences felt as if a huge burden had been relieved from their hearts. The intense pressure they had been feeling seemed to have disappeared.
Very soon after, many Divine level experts surrounded the Fourth Prince and the others, trying to express their goodwill and show a softer side toward the Empire.
Clearly, Fang Xingjian’s earlier display of his powers had given them a great shock.
People like the Sea Monarch even appeared to be trying to get into their good books, relying on his tier five Divine level capabilities to squeeze all the way inside. He grabbed the Fourth Prince’s hand and said agitatedly, “Your Highness, please let me join the Empire. The various overseas tribes have long held the Empire in great admiration.”
The royal families—as well as factions from the various countries that had been under the Church’s jurisdiction in the north—wore awkward expressions, not knowing if they should stay or leave.
Putting aside how the Imperial Capital was going to take care of the aftermath...
After Fang Xingjian returned to the room, he immediately took out the black paper that the Crown Princess had been sealed in.
The Crown Princess in the black paper seemed to have regained her composure. She sat cross-legged and looked coldly at Fang Xingjian as she said, “Speak up. What do you want to get from sealing me up?”
Fang Xingjian smiled. However, there was no way that he would ask outright about the most important method of conversion between one’s life span and strength. He merely wore a faint smile and said, “Tell me about your background first.”
The Crown Princess’ brows raised up. She felt extremely aggrieved. Even when she was sealed by Adam and the others 1,000 years ago, she had not been put into place like this.
However, at the thought of the process in which she had been sealed up, a slightly aghast feeling rose in her heart.
She fell silent for a moment before eventually saying, “Alright, there’s nothing to hide anyway.”
The Crown Princess then gave a brief account of her background and encounters. At the end, she asked, “Are you satisfied now?”
Fang Xingjian nodded. The environment in the Western Land was different from Miracle World’s. It was a world where countless immortal sects and demonic sects co-existed, distinguished by higher and lower realms. There were also many tier eight and nine Divine level experts there as well.
In the past, even though Fang Xingjian had also encountered people with black eyes and yellow skin, they were merely the descendants of the people who had come from the Western Land. Moreover, they were the descendants of those from the lower realm.
However, things were different for the Crown Princess. She had been born to a secular dynasty in the lower realm, then she cultivated in a top-notch immortal sect in a higher realm. She could be said to have a great understanding of the Western Land, and Fang Xingjian obtained a lot of important information about it from her.
It was like what Fang Xingjian had learned from the Immortality Saint. The Western Land was distinguished by the higher and lower realms.
This was because when the technique which allowed for the conversion between life span and strength appeared, the strong experts joined forces to cut off a portion of the cultivation resources in order to increase their rate of cultivating their strength. They would then convert their strength in life spans to be able to live longer.
After that, the top-notch experts and factions formed the so-called higher realm.
The higher realm and the secular world were cut off from almost all connections. Each sect in the higher realm would have extremely strict requirements for the enlisting of disciples. It was because taking in disciples meant that more people would have a share of the cultivating resources, and the reduction in cultivating resources would lead to a slow in the growth of their strength. This would then result in them having a shorter life span than before.
Therefore, the higher realm was very strict about taking in disciples and the competition of cultivating resources.
The secular world was considered the lower realm. They knew almost nothing about the higher realm. Unless the world’s metamorphosis occurred, there would only be tier one Divine level experts there. It was because the higher realm had a strict control over the lower realm’s growth.
The Mountainous Sea’s Book of the Way that Fang Xingjian obtained from the Eastern Sand Region’s Wang Clan had come from a dynasty in the secular world. When this dynasty researched on the Mountainous Sea’s Book of the Way as a secret art to facilitate the conversion between strength and life span, they were annihilated.
The dynasty’s destruction seemed like it was just the onset of a new era, but it had actually been secretly controlled by the experts of the higher realm.
This was how the higher realm and lower realm in the Western Land were. The people in the higher realm were extremely domineering. Due to their long life spans, changes in their members list occurred extremely slowly. There were even quite a number of old monsters who were at tier eight or nine of the Divine level and had lived since the previous world’s metamorphosis.
They had taken up a large portion of the Western Land’s cultivating resources through their domineering strength.
As for the lower realm, martial arts still existed. However, without the world’s metamorphosis, people could only reach tier one of the Divine level. If there were people who discovered the technique of conversion between life span and strength, they would all be executed.
The sect which the Crown Princess came from was one of the three strongest immortal sects in the higher realm—the Ascendent Heavenly Sect.
Hearing the Crown Princess’ words, Fang Xingjian nodded, threw her a glance, and said, “It’s not impossible to let you out.”
The Crown Prince’s eyes lit up, and a hint of a smile broke out on her beautiful face, giving one the urge to kiss her. “What do you want before you’re willing to let me out?”
Fang Xingjian said, “There’s a ritual for the lifting of the seal, but I’ll need your cooperation.” Simultaneously, he recalled the incantation Ulpian told him previously.
“Alright, go ahead. I’ll do what you say,” the Crown Princess said eagerly.
“Sit down.”
The Crown Princess’ eyes narrowed, and she asked, “What do you mean by this?”
“Do as I say. Sit down.”
The Crown Princess let out a cold snot and sat down, cross-legged.
“Raise your hand.”
The Crown Princess frowned and lifted one hand.
“Roll.”
“Fang Xingjian!” The intense fury in the Crown Princess’s eyes seemed to have instantly turned material as she stood up abruptly and shouted, “You dare make a fool out of me?!” The pair of massiveness on her chest trembled furiously with her violent actions as if they were going to pop out at any moment.
