Wang Jiujiu.
His Majesty, the Emperor of the "Great Xin Dynasty", Wang Gebi, his ninety-ninth son.
"Wang Gebi," his common name was "Wang Mang."
Back then, it was under the name "Wang Mang" that he usurped the foundation of the "Great Xia Dynasty."
Now, among the rebel army led by Princess Yin Lihua and others, they still call "Wang Gebi" as "Wang Mang."
However, in the cultivation world, everyone is accustomed to calling him "Wang Gebi."
As a great cultivator in the "Spirit Severing Realm" with a long lifespan and abundant energy, coupled with his reputation as "Old Wang Next Door," Wang Gebi had numerous offspring.
According to incomplete statistics, Wang Gebi had three hundred and sixty-five sons and two hundred and fifty daughters...
Well, that's still an incomplete count.
If calculated thoroughly, including illegitimate sons and daughters, the number of Wang Gebi's children could very well exceed one thousand.
Wang Gebi was indeed a direct descendant of the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King."
The Wang family, they were strong and mighty!
Heh heh...
Getting back to the point.
"Wang Jiujiu," as Wang Gebi's biological son, possessed extraordinary talent, and his cultivation far surpassed that of his peers.
He was not yet a hundred years old and was already a "Nascent Soul cultivator," a true genius!
The mission of the "Great Xin Dynasty" to send an envoy to ally with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" this time was of great importance, involving the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King's" grand plan to conquer the world!
Wang Gebi greatly valued Wang Jiujiu.
He specifically dispatched Wang Jiujiu as an envoy, entrusting him with a crucial mission.
Wang Jiujiu was handsome and stood tall.
He wore a bright yellow python robe, emanating a powerful aura of royalty, noble and heroic!
At this moment, with his hands behind his back, he stood at the bow of the ship, like a high and mighty deity.
The "Great Xin cultivators" on the deck all felt infinite admiration and respect for Wang Jiujiu.
Prince Jiujiu, mighty!
Wang Jiujiu's gaze swept past the "Three Immortals Port" and fell upon the three peculiar "inverted immortal mountains" in the distance.
He couldn't help but recall his father, Wang Gebi's, earnest instructions before his departure.
"Jiujiu, this time you go overseas, your first objective is to win over the Three Immortals Sword Sect and establish a strong alliance between the Three Immortals Sword Sect and our Great Xin Dynasty!"
"Deep within the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Treasure Ship are merit stones for building three statues of merit!"
"Jiujiu, remember, you must get the Three Immortals Sword Sect to agree to our building three merit statues on Three Immortals Island!"
...
"Three Immortals Island" was vast and densely populated.
It was home not only to cultivators but also to a large number of ordinary citizens.
The worship of cultivators could not generate "power of merit"!
However, the worship of ordinary citizens could continuously generate "power of merit."
The "power of merit" was extremely important for the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King's" "Ten Thousand Year Grand Plan." The "Great Xin Dynasty" would definitely not let go of this rich prize, "Three Immortals Island."
Wang Jiujiu dared not delay and quickly bowed to accept the order.
"Father, rest assured, your son will complete the mission!"
Wang Gebi nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"After settling matters with the Three Immortals Sword Sect, you will proceed to the Dark Sword Sect and strive to gain their support as well..."
"I know this is difficult!"
"The Dark Sword Sect is a demonic sect, their actions are fierce and unpredictable! They will likely refuse to ally with us, and may even attack you, upon learning of the alliance between our Great Xin Dynasty and the Three Immortals Sword Sect... Jiujiu, you must be careful!"
Hearing his father's concern, Wang Jiujiu was deeply moved.
He knelt down with a bang and kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you, Father, for your concern. Your son will strive to form an alliance with the Dark Sword Sect even if it means death!"
Wang Jiujiu's "grand declaration" made Wang Gebi very happy.
However, Wang Gebi merely smiled and did not take it seriously.
"Jiujiu, your intention is enough! This matter... is too difficult, you don't need to force it!"
It wasn't difficult, it was an impossible mission!
The "Dark Sword Sect" and the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" were mortal enemies!
Righteousness and evil stood in irreconcilable opposition!
The two sides had been fighting for so many years, wishing they could beat each other to a pulp.
The hatred was overflowing!
Would the "Dark Sword Sect" show any goodwill to the "Great Xin Dynasty" upon hearing of their alliance with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect"?
Heh heh...
An enemy's friend is also an enemy!
It was estimated that the "Dark Sword Sect" would attack the "Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Treasure Ship" fiercely the moment they met, and Wang Jiujiu wouldn't even have a chance to speak.
The "Great Xin Dynasty" allying with both the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" and the "Dark Sword Sect" simultaneously?
What a fantasy, it was simply unrealistic!
In principle, the "Great Xin Dynasty" could only choose one between the "Dark Sword Sect" and the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
Of course, they would choose the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
On the "Three Immortals Island" of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," lived a large number of ordinary citizens, who could provide a continuous stream of "power of merit," a temptation the "Great Xin Dynasty" could not resist.
As for the "Dark Sword Sect," let alone ordinary citizens, they could wipe out the monster beast hordes within a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers...
Wang Gebi patted Wang Jiujiu's shoulder and instructed.
"Your primary objective for this overseas mission is still the Three Immortals Sword Sect! If you secure the Three Immortals Sword Sect, I will consider it a great accomplishment!"
Upon hearing Wang Gebi say this, Wang Jiujiu was so excited he almost jumped up.
A great accomplishment!
And it was a "great accomplishment" recognized by "His Imperial Father," this was Wang Jiujiu's greatest leverage!
With this "great accomplishment" under his belt, he, Wang Jiujiu, could now contend with his fourth brother, eighth brother, and thirteenth brother.
Where there are people, there is the martial world!
Within the "Great Xin Dynasty," especially among Wang Gebi's many princes, the competition was incredibly fierce!
As the "Great Xin Dynasty" was poised to conquer the world, not only ruling mortal beings but also the cultivators, achieving a true "Eternal Sacred Dynasty"!
Wang Gebi would not remain Emperor forever; he would soon abdicate and then dedicate himself to seclusion, seeking an opportunity to break through to the "Body Integration Realm."
Upon Wang Gebi's abdication, who would inherit the throne?
Currently, the competition among the various princes of the "Great Xin Dynasty" had reached its peak.
Among them, the Fourth Prince, Eighth Prince, Thirteenth Prince, and seven others were the most promising.
Some busybodies had even given this event a "brilliant" name.
"Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir"!
In the past, Wang Jiujiu had to stay on the sidelines.
Now, he wanted to participate.
He stood at the bow of the "Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Treasure Ship," full of ambition.
This mission to the "Three Immortals Sword Sect," he was determined to succeed!
He wanted to turn "Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir" into "Ten Dragons Seizing the Heir"!
