Chapter 2 - Third Prince

Fragrance Pavilion , famous for their service and their wine .

Although Fragrance Pavilion is not a brothel and is a top restaurant in Untreated Ancient City , there are beautiful fairies whom all the mens are captivated by .

The building has five blocks ascending sky while attached to the ground floor . The structure of the pavilion is ancient and very beautiful , no less than a naturally built architecture.

There are gardens and fountains decorated in the vast courtyard , displaying both beauty and wealth of the pavilion.

Of course , there are lines of celestial chariots , divine carriage and holy mounts around the pavilion .

Dignified guests keep on entering and leaving , while anyone can see how important they are to the pavilion .

Be it merchants or nobles , everyone visits the Fragrance Pavilion.

Fragrance Pavilion is owned by an unfathomable master with an extraordinary position in Untreated Ancient City .

When you enter the pavilion , first of all you will see a pair of guards standing while unleashing redoubtable energy through their body .

Once you enter the pavilion , you are welcomed by a magnificent entrance hall where tiles that seem to be crafted though pure gold , covers the entire floor and the walls , followed by ceiling as well .

Of course , the ceiling was around more than a hundred feet high up while the inner topography of each floor has a gap separating each four directions .

Instead there are windows on each block that faces the center of the pavilion , this in return lets those guests enjoy the scene that happens inside the pavilion with ease .

There were lots of beautiful maids busy with their duty while the receptionist and manager themselves were not free .

One can easily see that Fragrance Pavilion is a busy business , not free even a bit .

Inside the top floor of the pavilion , there are tens of tables and each table is encircled with five chairs adorned with beautiful patterns .

Each table has already been crammed by extraordinary guests of the pavilion , each of those guests have identity enough to suppress anyone .

While some are leaders of the illustrious family , while some are even an ancestor of a behemoth.

Of course , close to a northern window , there are five young men enjoying delicacies.

There are spiritual beast's meat , spiritual wine , spiritual fruits and many more .

One is a young man wearing a long bloody outfit with killing intent emanating endlessly , he is tall and handsome but not too handsome .

He is none other than Wudi Kong from before , currently he is drinking wine and enjoying the spiritual beast's meat .

"This really sucks , sitting with this motherfucker truly makes the taste of this all delicacies to taste obnoxious "

Wudi Kong sneers while glaring at the young man sitting in front of him .

Wudi Egun smiles provokingly , drinking wine himself , he sneers in return .

"This bitch is truly asking for a beating right ? I will penetrate you with ten inch long and five inch thick rod in your ass if you keep on opening unpleasant mouth of yours "

Wudi Egun clenches his teeth and his expression distorts .

"Ha ?"

Wudi Kong raises his right hand and reveals his middle finger to Wudi Egun , with insufferable arrogance he provokes Wudi Egun .

"FUCK You "

"This bastard — "

Wudi Egun stands from his seat and prepares to launch a punch on Wudi Kong but a young man with gentle comportment opens his feather fan and waves for himself .

"Stop it , why are you two becoming a savage beast in the middle of a meal ?"

" If you two want to act wild , please go somewhere else "

"You both are becoming nuisance to everyone"

This young man has very beautiful looks ,even his long black hair shines with the brilliance of stars .

His gentle personality makes him unique amongst this savage group , his eyes full of wisdom .

He is wearing a long green outfit with a long hem reaching ground , a myriad of stars hanging around his hem and a celestial wheel rotates behind him .

His celestial wheel has ten swords rotating with divine formation , causing him to resemble sword god from sword realm .

Wudi Wenrou has his sharp eyes closed yet he can see everything very clearly .

Looking at Wudi Wenrou , Wudi Egun nods and turns to look at Wudi Kong , clicking his tongue he derides Wudi Kong .

"Count yourself lucky , impotent bitch "

"You asshole !!"

Wudi Kong directly kicks the table and flips the table in the air .

Like a beast , he charges at Wudi Egun , ferocious to extreme he stretches his right hand gesture as claw .

"Wow !!"

Wudi Egun also does not retreat and sends a right kick to beat Wudi Kong .

Of course , Wudi Tao and Wudi Dao , these two siblings quickly react and grab them .

Wudi Tao is a young man with exquisite features and muscular build , even though his stature is tall and very handsome .

He wears a long white outfit with divine sutra birthing .

While Wudi Dao is identical twin to Wudi Tao , the only difference is , Wudi Dao wears black outfit , constantly celestial law keeps on manifesting within his surroundings.

"Stop this , you dogs !!"

"Stop throwing tantrum like a little bitches "

Both brothers try to calm these two monsters , for them this is nothing new .

"Impotent your father !! "

"Today I will make you suck my dick !!"

Wudi Kong clatters his teeth and points his middle finger on Wudi Egun , of course he does not forget to spit toward Wudi Egun , showing no restraint .

"You pansy caveman , you must be courting death since you are tired of living "

Wudi Egun tries to set himself free from the clutches of Wudi Tao but unfortunately he can't do it .

Both parties want to beat each other till they don't spill blood from their nose and mouth but they are restrained because of Wudi Tao and Wudi Dao .

"Oe , oe , if it isn't group of dickheads who are still living in age of cavemen "

Suddenly they heard an unpleasant voice of a rude man , turning to check on the voice , they saw a very handsome young man closing in on them .

This young man is tall and very handsome , even to the point of rivaling Wudi Egun and his group.

He has long silver hairs reaching over his waist , they glitters with the charm of the moon and stars .

He is slim yet muscular , of course because of his long silver robe with hem reaching over the ground , his physical stature can't be normally seen through.

His snow white skin with delicate characteristics , his sharp sword eyes and almost perfect looks makes him a natural lady killer .

His smile that screams superiority does not fail to make Wudi Egun and everyone want to punch him .

Most of all , his silver mark on glabella shaped in heavenly thunder stands out the most .

He is Wudi Lei , a Quasi - Paragon with Innate Treasure in his body — Heavenly Calamity Thunder .

He is one of few geniuses who is ranked amongst the list of monsters , with the Dao Title of Heavenly Calamity Dao Child .

With his Heavenly Calamity Thunder , he can level up a mountain and can even threaten heavenly dao to retreat .

"Uff , it's so hot here "

Wudi Lei waves his hand on himself and reveals an expression that says he is feeling very hot .

"Young master , don't you worry , we are here , your loyal servant "

Group of five servants hurriedly waves a large feather fan for Wudi Lei , causing everyone watching Wudi Lei to twist their face skin .

This does not stop there , a beautiful maid with heaven defying beauty walks to him and lifts a hand mirror which she has been holding for a while for Wudi Lei to admire himself in his reflection .

The beautiful maid opens her soft lips and her enchanting voice reaches for void .

"Young master , your beauty is unmatched , second to none "

She praises her young master with endless reverence and admiration causing Wudi Lei to nod with triumph , not denying what the maid said about him .

"My makeup seem to be little disrupted , Haoyu , put some makeup on me "

With a distressed voice , Wudi Lei expresses anxiety on his unparalleled beautiful face , worried that his makeup will affect his beauty .

Soon , following his voice a young man brings a box of makeup and starts to do makeup on Wudi Lei .

"—"

Wudi Egun , Wudi Tao , Wudi Dao , Wudi Kong and Wudi Wenrou feel as if their entire world will collapse after witnessing such a bizarre scene .

But luckily for them , it is quite normal for them after so long .

Wudi Kong slowly escapes from the clutch from the Wudi Dao and unhurriedly walks to Wudi Lei .

When Wudi Lei was only a few inches away from him , he stopped .

"What ? What are you looking at ?"

Full of nobility , Wudi Lei expressed his disdain for Wudi Kong .

"Pui"

Wudi Kong spits on the makeup box of Wudi Lei , not restraining his attitude toward Wudi Lei , instead fully displaying his scorn for him .

Wudi Lei first felt like he had seen something wrong so blinked his eyes and turned to look at his makeup box .

There on his makeup was a fresh saliva dominating and starting a campaign to conquer the land of makeup .

"Disgusting"

Wudi Lei trembles , his whole person becomes dangerous .

"What ? What did you say ?"

Wudi Kong stretches his ear in the direction of Wudi Lei , provoking him more .

"I can't hear you , say it louder "

"I said — disgusting "

Wudi Lei clenches his fist and grits his teeth , his blood boils and his anger explodes .

"Boom"

His right arm moves so fast even the speed of light was nothing for a moment , before Wudi Kong reacted to such lethality , he was slapped away by Wudi Lei .

"Baam"

Luckily , the walls of the Fragrance Pavilion are all empowered by Defense Formation set by a Formation Master .

The body of Wudi Kong crashes on the wall and falls down , causing Wudi Kong to moan in pain .

"This ponce —"

He stands up and glares at Wudi Lei .

" I will kill you little sissy boy "

Swoosh 

He darts forward , piercing wind and space , he arrives before Wudi Lei and unleashes his fist .

But Wudi Lei, who has already lost his sanity , directly receives a punch on his face .

Boom

Strangely enough , an invisible power seems to be blocking his punch .

"Shit !!"

That was the moment Wudi Kong realized something .

"I am fucked "

***********

"What ? You mean to say that the third Prince is visiting our Ancient Wudi Clan ?"

Inside a sacred grotto , a middle aged elder frowns deeply .

This middle aged elder is Clan Elder of Ancient Wudi with unfathomable cultivation .

He has been serving the clan for more than just ten or twenty generations of Ancient Wudi Clan .

He has a normal appearance and has an aura of simplicity , he has nothing special about him which makes him even more unfathomable since this is a sign of those close to Immortality .

His chin has extended goatee fully black , this makes him look matured and aged .

His simple outfit makes him resemble a mortal wanting to live a life of struggle and hardship.

Amongst all the elders of the clan , only Wudi Jiandan is said to be someone with the temperament of a mortal who seeks nothing but simplicity.

"You are right , the message received from Northern Heavenly Palace has informed about third prince's visit to our Ancient Wudi "

Inside a secular cave where nothing but emptiness can be found , there in the deepest shadow , someone seems to be cultivating for enlightenment.

The voice was ancient and almost in harmony with Primordial Truth .

"Great Elder Sun , if the third Prince is visiting my Ancient Wudi Clan , doesn't that mean his intention is to amalgamate my Ancient Wudi in his faction ? "

"This in return will cause us to participate in the Imperial War Of Succession even if we want or don't want to "

"But if we take side with wrong person , our clan is doom "

Elder Jiandan heaves a long sigh , feeling conflict in his heart .

"Don't you worry , although Imperial Family has always been powerful and have deep foundation , they don't have the necessary ability to force us to join them "

The Great Elder Sun reassures Elder Jiandan and continues .

"But this time , it seem that we need to take side amongst all those prince and princess "

"Our clan has been maintaining neutrality for many ages now but that was only because we didn't deem any prince and princess worthy of our support "

"But staying neutral for so long will also cause the heart of imperial family to grow doubt and vigilance toward us , in result they were see us as a threat "

"After all , being neutral means that we can change the game whenever we want by joining a faction and strengthening the said faction , which will cause the scheme woven by the second party to fall "

"Everyone has already tolerated us and it seem that their patience have started to show sign of crumbling , attracting great hostility from the said powerhouse "

Great Elders are a powerhouse just below Supreme Elder , Ancestor and Clan Leader so in absence of Clan Leader , Great Elders have the authority to make decisions for the clan .

Of course being beneath Clan Leader doesn't mean Great Elders of the clan are weaker than Clan Leader himself .

"Then what should we do ? Should we willingly join the third Prince or what ?"

Elder Jiandan was anxious , just thinking about how their clan will have to experience downfall made him angry .

"When did I say we will join that brat's faction ?"

The Great Elder Sun seems to disapprove of Elder Jiandan's word , causing Elder Jiandan to become surprised .

"Then ?"

With great curiosity , Elder Jinagdan looked in the direction where the Great Elder Sun was meditating.

"We will have to observe for a little longer to see which faction we will be supporting . For now , don't worry too much "

"Just focus on receiving third Prince two weeks latter "

"This junior shall abide your command "

****

Soon , with the fleeting clouds , two weeks passed and the day when Third Prince Ouyang Tiandou visited the Untreated Ancient City arrived .

Far away from the Primal Mountain , three Ancient Fairy Ships travel through one dimension to another , crossing hundreds of miles within a single breath .

Each Ancient Flying Ship has a banner installed , with a golden emblem of divine sword penetrating high heaven .

On the deck of the middle Ancient Fairy Boat , there are many royal knights and powerful masters standing .

Although the ship is crossing the distance with supernatural speed none of those masters can even feel a shred of wind or force touching them .

A young man with a long golden imperial robe befitting a monarch ,with heaven and earth encompassing him , stands on the frontier and gazes at the far horizon .

His sharp eyes full of wisdom glowing with bright light , his long white hairs that seem to have woven through thread of light , his air permeating dao of wisdom makes him look extremely transcendent.

His whole person showers with wisdom while each of his heartbeat connects with the heartbeat of the world .

Behind him is a transcendent seal sheltering the power of wisdom , illuminating heaven and earth with insufferable arrogance .

This young man is the Third Prince Ouyang — Child Of Wisdom .

When he was born , he was blessed by the Dao Of Wisdom , giving him absolute control over wisdom .

"I can read a chapter of Wisdom born in Primal Mountain , mainly in Ancient Wudi Clan that there hides an 'anomaly' to whom Heaven and Universe can't keep in check "

His voice was divine , transcending even the supreme power of the world .

"Third Prince , you mean to say that there is someone who is much more gifted than you in the Ancient Wudi Clan ?"

Supreme Imperial General Yong , a middle aged man with a manly attitude frowns .

Equipped with heavenly armament and a long crimson robe , he reflects the image of almighty supreme knight who once dominated heaven and earth .

"No , although that person can be called 'anomaly' but that does not mean he or she is much more gifted than me "

Third Prince Ouyang shakes his head and disapproves of Imperial Supreme General Yong's guess , instead he corrects his misunderstanding.

"Instead , it is opposite"

"What do you mean by that ?"

Imperial Supreme General Yong did not understand what his prince was saying .

"Everyone born in this universe or the world is tied by the thread of fate but this 'anomaly' is free and not connected by the thread of fate . In short , he has nothing to do with our world , the Heaven has no control over him and his life "

"That's — absurd !!"

Imperial Supreme General Yong, who has lived for so long , can't help but tremble when he hears what his prince said to him .

This was truly absurd , someone whose fate and destiny does not belong to Heaven .

Free from karma and causes , isn't this simply heaven defying .

Even a God Realm deities would not be able to achieve such a feast , let alone God Realm , even World Emperors are binded by this curse .

But his prince has confirmed that there is an 'anomaly' who has this privilege which only those above the World Emperor can achieve .

"Impossible"

He can't help but murmur while profusely sweating which was rare for him .

Yet the Third Prince Ouyang was calm and undisturbed by such a phenomenon , instead with a calm and unhurried attitude , he opened his mouth .

"Making Impossible into possible is what a man do , that is why Man is independent from Heaven and the Earth "

There was a natural arrogance emanating from Third Prince Ouyang as if it was natural from him to be arrogant.

"You—are right "

Imperial Supreme General Yong nods his head and sighes , not deciding to further their conversation.

As for Third Prince Ouyang , he continues to gaze toward the horizon .

And soon , their Ancient Fairy Ship arrives at Primal Mountain .

The magnificent scene from Primal Mountain continues to surface in the vision of those knights and masters riding the Ancient Fairy Ship .

Of course after crossing numerous minor cities existing on Primal Mountain , they finally arrived at the Untreated Ancient City .

There up in the sky , hundreds of powerful knights from Ancient Wudi Clan were standing in the void , intentionally or unintentionally they had created a divine formation used in war .

Leading them were dozens of elders and numerous of sub - leaders . Followed by leading figures of the clan .

Elder Jiandan with a simple yet graceful outfit , stands on the frontier , symbolizing his status as the commanding leader of the group .

Although Elder Jiandan looks so ordinary, in fact , amongst all the ' Elders ' he is the most strongest and powerful , acknowledged by everyone .

With him , Wudi Egun was also standing just a few steps behind . Like usual , he was only wearing his favorite Overlord Skull Armament and nothing .

"Greeting Third Prince , greeting everyone "

"Welcome to my humble homeland , I hope you didn't face any inconveniences on your way "

Elder Jiandan cups his fist and respectfully greets the third Prince , showing no negligence over his hospitality.

"Greeting Elder Jiandan , it has been few years since we last met each other "

Third Prince Ouyang returned the greeting but his tone was as usual , divine and confident .

"Haha , this oldman was lucky to meet you once in Northern Heavenly Palace and that's all "

Elder Jiandan shakes his head and wisely tries to not build any karma with the Third Prince Ouyang .

Third Prince Ouyang nods his head and wisely does not mention about the past , understanding that the elder was trying not to build any karma with him .

But with his discerning eyes , he sees that Elder Jiandan is an unfathomable existence who has long surpassed heavenly dao and has now achieved something far beyond the reach of heavenly dao .

"You are truly a man amongst all men , I truly want to admire you "

Third Prince Ouyang softly and gently opened his mouth as if whispering to his lover , he genuinely was praising Elder Jiandan because of Elder Jiandan's nature .

It's not that Third Prince Ouyang can see through someone's cultivation because of his dao of wisdom , his dao of wisdom helps him see through a person's nature and their mysteries .

But he can't see through Elder Jiandan because Elder Jiandan has long surpassed the scope of wisdom .

"Third Prince is overpraising me , I am but a humble man who seeks sky when his feet are attached on the land "

Elder Jiandan shakes his head and furthers the conversation for a few more before introducing his young lord to Third Prince Ouyang.

"Third Prince , this is my young lord , the heir to Ancient Wudi Clan "

Third Prince Ouyang slowly turns to meet his bright eyes overflowing with wisdom with Wudi Egun's indomitable eyes .

"Greeting Brother Wudi , this is first time we have met , right "

A charming smile curls on Third Prince Ouyang's beautiful face .

Wudi Egun also returns the greeting and confidently opens his lips with overflowing spirit .

"This Wudi greets the Third Prince , I hope you have a great time in my humble homeland "

He returns an unfazed smile to the Third Prince as if he is not worried about anything at all .

Third Prince Ouyang observes Wudi Egun while Wudi Egun also takes his time observing Third Prince .

For the Third Prince , Wudi Egun was like that empty paper with endless potential.

He is an 'anomaly' that is not restricted by heaven and earth , blessed with endless potential and hides many terrifying mysteries within him .

As for Wudi Egun , the Third Prince has an image of a true monarch , one with all the qualities to become a monarch that rules over Heaven .

Wise , blessed , gifted , decisive , strong , talented and a person who knows how to act in demanding situations .

Such a terrifying man was one of many obstacles he needs to face in the future if he wants to become the ruler of the Nine Heaven and Myriad World .

"You must be tired , why don't I guide you to the guest mansion "

Elder Jiandan and Wudi Egun have a short conversation with the Third Prince , after which Elder Jiandan takes the initiative to become a host for the Third Prince.

"Brother Wudi , let's continue our conversation some other time , for now this Ouyang will follow the host "

The Third Prince askes Wudi Egun for a leave and leaves with Elder Jiandan .

But in both of these two ambitious men , there were only a few words appearing constantly.

' He needs to be eliminated or befriended '

Wudi Egun continues to smile and stand in the same position even when everyone is leaving , when everyone left and the sky was empty , he alone was there standing on the void .

Slowly shutting his eyes close , he immerses himself with the gentle breeze pushing the clouds and those millions of voices rampaging all over the world .

Opening his eyes , he turns to look at his Wudi Family Residence and completely turns silent .

"Interesting , I hope you can entertain me "

******

"Third Prince , what do you think of the Ancient Wudi Clan ?"

After the Third Prince and his men were guided to a separate mansion close to the main residence , the imperial army surrounded the mansion and installed an array .

Inside a luxurious room , Imperial Supreme General Yong stands before his prince and respectfully asks his prince about what he thinks of the Ancient Wudi Clan.

"Unplumbed foundation with bottomless history , I can see Nine Heavenly Dragons above Primal Mountain , creating a divine formation that devours the providence of heaven and earth "

Third Prince Ouyang stands outside the hall , standing in the backyard while his both hands are back .

He stilly gazes at the sky above the land , with his eyes blessed by the wisdom , he can clearly see nine Heavenly Dragons constructing a divine formation empowered by primordial qi and vast amounts of providence.

The Dragon Vein of the Primal Mountain has already transformed into Nine Heavenly Dragons , each majestic and terrifying enough to devour heaven .

"Such terrifying luck to the point where even heaven and man will become jealous"

The Third Prince has seen Eight Heavenly Dragons residing on a land and blessing them with great fortune but Nine Heavenly Dragons was unique even for himself .

Even their Northern Heavenly Palace only has Eight Heavenly Dragons , even so it is already considered the supreme powerhouse in Northern Heaven .

Standing in the backyard , Third Prince Ouyang keeps on trying to read those Nine Heavenly Dragons but fails to read them , in return he receives backlashes .

"Instead , Imperial Supreme General Yong , what is your opinion on the Ancient Wudi Clan ?"

With a calm smile , enduring the tormenting pain in his eyes , Third Prince Ouyang turns to look at Imperial Supreme General Yong and walks to him .

"If I have to talk about them then I can only say , if our palace was to go all out against them , we will have to be ready for casualties and sacrifices and also damage that can't be recuperate for million of years to come "

Imperial Supreme General Yong shakes his head and shares his opinion with the prince .

Of course , Third Prince Ouyang was not surprised but instead a little disappointed , even with Imperial Supreme General Yong's strength he failed to see the providence of Primal Mountain.

One Heavenly Dragon to establish Dao Lineage , Three Heavenly Dragons to establish supreme Dao Lineage and above Five Heavenly Dragons to establish absolute Behemoth whom no other Dao Lineage can threaten .

But what about Nine Heavenly Dragons ?

"Get some rest , you must be tired "

Third Prince Ouyang askes Imperial Supreme General Yong to get some rest and he himself rests on the bed , sitting in a meditation position and closing his eyes .

After that , he slowly falls in cultivation , not letting anyone disturb him .

Seeing Third Prince Ouyang cultivating , Imperial Supreme General Yong also decides to leave . The room was empty and silent , only when the Imperial Supreme General Yong left did Third Prince Ouyang open his eyes for a brief moment .

He seemed to be thinking something deep but he didn't say anything , deciding to cultivate .

*****

The guest mansion of Ancient Wudi Clan is extremely grand and impressive , with a large plot of land where a flower garden is decorated at the west , entrance gate at the north and beautiful artificial lake on the east .

There are hundreds of imperial knights surrounding the mansion , protecting while giving their all .

Each imperial knight is dignified and overbearing , not even ghosts can bypass them .

From faraway the mansion , there is a high hill where vegetation flourishes .

Standing on the peak of the hill , a young man continues to observe the guest mansion for a long time .

This young man turns back and disappears into shadow , leaving nothing behind .

As for inside the guest mansion , the prince slowly opens his eyes after Supreme Imperial General Yong leaves the room .

After deeply thinking about something , he returns back to cultivating.

After the Third Prince Ouyang arrived at the Untreated Ancient City , he was asked to rest . 

As for the high echelon of Ancient Wudi Clan , they began to gather and discuss the subject relating to the reason for Third Prince Ouyang's visit .

After that, leaders and other powerhouses were busy preparing the Heavenly Banquet for the Third Prince Ouyang in a grand hall .

Inside a grand and majestic hall where multicolored pillars were supporting the sky while the foot was rooted on the ground , red carpet was connected from the door to the main seat .

There were many seats on each side of the red carpet , and seats from different directions were facing each other .

As for the main seat , to reach there , one has to climb tens of steps before reaching the top of the steps.

Of course the seat was divine and full of authority.

Resting on the main seat was Elder Jiandan , a man with a mortal aura .

He has a smile on his face , not even a bit of spirituality can be sensed from him , anyone can mistake him for an ordinary middle aged man .

The clan elders of the family were all gathered , each of the clan elders are the seniors of their branches .

There were a total of thirty nine clan elders when not counting Elder Jiandan , this also symbolizes the number of family branches that exist in Primal Mountain .

Of course , their family branches are located all over the world but these thirty nine are the main branches , only beneath the main family lineage .

Each of the elders are unfathomable and very dangerous but right now they have a solemn and dignified smile on their face , although they are aged with time , one can't ignore the power they hold .

Even if everyone is only god and celestial , there are at the very least thirty nine god and celestials.

So one can easily distinguish how terrifying the foundation of the Ancient Wudi Clan is .

More than that , these elders have lived for more than ten or twenty epochs , during their youth they were also arrogant geniuses of their clan .

So one can only imagine about their cultivation but can never fathom.

There was also Wudi Egun sitting on a seat that was only one step beneath the main seat .

Of course , with his seat , there was also another seat next to him , empty .

On his right side is a seat for the honorable guest who is none other than the Third Prince .

There were hovering plates and wine cups with gourds hovering next to everyone .

Soon , the honorable guest of their clan walks in with his loyal subordinates.

Third Prince Ouyang wearing a long and thin outfit with a heavenly incantation flooding like a river and stream , walks in .

His calm and dignified attitude was extremely noble , even his air surrounding him was extraordinary.

His tall body and otherworldly charm was nothing to scoff at , each of his footsteps was in harmony with dao .

Wisdom overflows through his divine body , while the transcendent seal behind him exudes an aura of wisdom , blinding the world and deciphering the truth of grand dao .

His long hairs interwoven through particles of light and thread , gently dances even though no wind or air is raging .

His bright eyes full of wisdom observes everyone .

Following him are Imperial Supreme General Yong and a mysterious elder concealing himself with a mysterious mist , not even the eyes of Immortal can penetrate their heavenly gaze on him .

When they enter the hall , everyone stands from their seat and greets him .

"Third Prince , please take your seat "

Elder Jiandan politely guides the Third Prince to which the Third Prince also follows .

Of course after resting on his seat , a group of beautiful fairies are summoned to dance and entertain the Third Prince and his group .

There were heaven defying beauties dancing , each of their moves were graceful and in harmony with the law of the world .

"Third Prince , I hope you are not disappointed with my Ancient Wudi's hospitality"

Soon , Elder Jiandan takes the initiative to start the conversation.

Third Prince Ouyang unhurriedly picks up the wine cup and gently closes his eyes , the immortal fragrance of the wine enters his nostril , causing him to become immersed .

Surp

Gently and gracefully Third Prince drinks the wine , hundreds of dragons seem to be raging within his throat while the roar of those dragons causes him to become aggressive.

But he manages to naturally control his emotions .

"Dragon Liver Wine , it must have been brewed more than ten millions for the wine to become so sharp "

Divine Liver Wine just like the name implies , after brewing numerous heavenly resources and earthly ingredients with the Liver of Dragon , this wine is prepared .

And those below Heavenly Deity Realm would die just after a single sip .

While below Wisdom Sage Realm , they will die just with a single cup of the wine .

Of course , the Third Prince is not just some ordinary Dao Master to die with just a single sip or drink , he casually smiles after drinking a cup of Dragon Liver Wine .

Followed by refill .

"Hahaha , this wine was specially brewed for those below Transcendent Realm but even so , you gulped down a single cup and you are still fine , I truly admire your ability "

Elder Jiandan was also secretly surprised.

Although the wine was prepared for those below Transcendent Realm, still to gulp down a cup of wine and to not show any reaction is out of expectation.

As for a real Dragon Liver Wine , only those above Ancestral God have the ability to enjoy .

With just a single cup of wine , the Third Prince felt an insight to dao , causing him to sigh deeply in his heart .

"Everyone , I won't waste breath talking about useless things "

He cups his fist and observes everyone from above .

When they heard the Third Prince's words , everyone was forced to become serious .

"I am man who cherish each of his word so I will also not waste the time of all you venerable elders "

He slowly returns to drinking his wine but this time he gently sips the wine while taking his time to enjoy and digest .

"Everyone must have guessed the reason for my visit "

His voice was full of divinity and wisdom , it was not like he was talking but instead was as if reciting a mantra .

"Third Prince , we are aware of the current situation of the imperial family but our clan has always been neutral so out of sudden we can't take such important decision "

A clan elder from the family branch regretfully shakes his head , feeling helpless .

Each and every elders present has authority to speak for the clan so they were not worried about offending the leader .

Of course , they can't go overboard and forget their position.

After all , the main family has always been the one to govern all the family branches .

The Third Prince nodded his head , expecting such an answer so he was not worried .

He gently twirls his cup and softly opens his lips , his voice reaches each corner of the hall .

"Your clan has been maintaining neutrality since the death of the previous Northern Heavenly Emperor , Ouyang Zhenqi "

"I know that your clan was once the supporter of Northern Heavenly Emperor Ouyang Zhenqi and also one of the Five Divine Pillar whom everyone feared "

"This is also precisely why I want you all to become my Divine Pillar and support me when the war for Imperial Ascension takes place in the future "

The clan elders hesitates inwardly but their expression remains unmoved , displaying their indifference .

The Third Prince Ouyang notices everyone's indifference but does not care .

"Of course , becoming my Divine Pillar will have its perks . I will give you the same authority as mine if you were to become my Divine Pillar "

Firstly he decides to see what will be the reaction of the elders of the clan when he mentions about the perk after becoming his supporter .

But he can only see those elders deeply contemplating , maybe they are communicating through telepathy.

He patiently waits for their reply .

But soon , he hears Wudi Egun speaking to him .

"Third Prince , even if we were to become your pillar , what makes you sure that you will come out as a victor and ascend to become an emperor ?"

"With what reassurance can you guarantee that you have the chance of becoming the emperor and not the other imperial descendants ?"

A simple smile curls on Wudi Egun , as if he was just asking something obvious.

This response makes those elders nod in agreement .

The Third Prince was still unfazed and cool as someone can be .

"Brother Wudi is right to be wary of the outcome and also vigilant toward the faction you choose "

The Third Prince was still divine and confident as if nothing can affect his unwavering heart .

He smiles playfully and shows everyone his index finger and continues .

"But it also proves that your clan has decided to side with one of many factions that will participate for the Imperial War Of Succession "

Wudi Egun and everyone falls in deep silence , indirectly approving of what the Third Prince said .

The Third Prince continues with his calm and divine attitude .

"In this upcoming war for the Imperial Succession , there are only three factions that have the greatest possibility of becoming the winner "

"And they are the Golden Banner Faction , The Phoenix Elegance Faction and Sky Blade Faction "

"My brother , the First Prince will mobilize his Golden Banner Faction even before the war with the intention of causing casualties to the other factions and accumulating advantage for himself since he is the most strongest Faction Leader right now "

Elder Jiandan nods his head and calmly opens his lips .

"Shouldn't that mean we can simply take his side and enjoy the fruit without putting too much effort "

Elder Jiandan smiles slightly , looking around as he continues .

"First Prince is a true man who is blessed by the Heaven , a True Son Of Heaven "

"It is said when he was born , through the sky , Immortal Projection of Ancient Divine World manifested for him , blessing him with supreme opportunity "

"I also heard that he has already surpassed the Transcendent Realm and is preparing for Terrestrial Deity Calamity Tribulation in order to become Quasi - God "

"A Transcendent Entity at the age of below hundred , this proves his potential for Dao and anyone can see that he has endless future to trek "

Elder Jiandan's smile was unchanging , nothing seemed to cause him to change his smile .

Third Prince Ouyang also nods his head and does not disagree with what he said .

One of the clan elders brushes his chin beard and slowly opens his mouth , deciding to add .

"I even heard that he has the support of Ancient Immortal Lu Family , Mythical Myriad Demon Sect , Immortal Heaven Sect and Primordial Cosmic Royal Family "

"Each of them are powerhouse no less than the Heavenly Palace itself "

"He has a very terrifying military power in his hand , combined with his Imperial Advisor Yangsong and Imperial Strategist Han , he has two unparalleled strategy masters with him , two of the best strategy master from Northern Heaven "

"Of course one can't forget the support from five Wisdom Masters supporting him "

This was not a simple matter , five Wisdom Masters that can read stars and astrology can divine the fate of many people . They can even predict the move of their enemies and with two greatest strategists , this can be used to their advantage.

While the Wisdom Masters read each and every move from their enemies , those strategists can fabricate schemes and strategies to trap their enemies .

"Sigh"

The Third Prince Ouyang only heaves long sighs but there was no change in his expression .

"What are you gonna do about the First Prince ?"

The same elder decides to ask but the Third Prince does says anything .

Elder Jiandan once again opens his mouth and reminds the Third Prince that the First Prince isn't the only obstacle in his path to ascension.

"Don't forget that the Faction Leader of The Phoenix Elegance Faction is your First Sister , First Princess Ouyang Wulong "

"Her cultivation has already reach Wisdom Sage Realm and she herself is a walk-in powerhouse to be respected"

"Coupled with her Three Divine Pillars — Ice Empress Sect , Mysterious Sovereign Palace and Arrogant Deity Dynasty , she is a force to be recognized"

"Just like your first brother , she herself has the support of Imperial Advisor Luo and three Wisdom Masters "

"But that's not all , each of these two imperial descendants have their own Saint Artifact that can threaten the Northern Heaven itself "

"What makes you so arrogant to think that you will be the last man to stand ?"

Through the mortal body of Elder Jiandan , an extremely oppressive aura starts to leak out .

This aura was invisible but also domineering , even the likes of Immortal King and Emperor needed to surrender and wait for their death under the influence of such oppression .

Feeling such an oppressive aura, even the Imperial Supreme General Yong and the mysterious elder were left in awe and horror , causing them to sweat profusely .

"You must remember the remnant members of the Soaring Faction whom Northern Heavenly Emperor Ouyang Zhenqi saved during his last breath , right ?"

Although Third Prince Ouyang was closing his eyes , he was also sweating profusely and experiencing a terrifying phenomenon engulfing him and his soul . As if devouring him deep in the abyss .

"Hm , yes "

Elder Jiandan frowns and nods . Soaring Faction was once their faction when they were the Divine Pillar for Northern Heavenly Emperor Ouyang Zhenqi.

When they just joined the Soaring Faction , Northern Heavenly Emperor Ouyang Zhenqi was only an imperial prince fighting for the throne.

But with great challenge , adversity and struggle , that brat managed to become the Northern Heavenly Emperor and ruled for more than tens of eras .

Of course after his brother betrayed him for the throne , his faction collapsed and everyone was forced to leave .

The current Northern Heavenly Emperor Ouyang Zhendan just managed to become the emperor at that time and his position was unstable so he didn't have time to pursue Ancient Wudi Clan.

But there was one time when the emperor sent a powerful supremacy from the palace to ask for the Ancient Wudi Clan's submission and their allegiance for him .

But of course , that supremacy from the palace never got a chance to return in one piece , this managed to serve as a warning for the palace and the palace also never dared to send anyone .

"Your old friend , Heavenly God General Pan and his army has already pledge their allegiance to me and is willing to become part of my military power "

"With great difficulty , I have asked him to call for the other remnant of the Soaring Faction to join me "

"Now what do you think ?"

When Third Prince Ouyang mentioned and talked about the situation with the Soaring Faction's remnants, everyone was forced to think deeply .

"But still , Third Prince , this does not gives you the rights to be arrogant since the enemy on the other side are titan ready to crush everyone on their path "

"A blind beast who will not think twice before trampling on the lives of both their kins and their enemy"

The ambiguous smile on Wudi Egun was infuriating but Third Prince Ouyang wasn't affected even slightly .

"That's not all I have got "

Third Prince Ouyang opens his eyes and the light in his eyes blinds the world , with a charming and overflowing confidence he continues .

"I too have my own Divine Pillars despite not being as powerful as those behemoths from my siblings side "

"But the quality will be made by quantity ?"

"That means you have more than four Divine Pillars "

Wudi Egun slyly smiles to which the Third Prince does not answer , deciding to stay quiet on this matter .

"Third Prince , show us the proof which will convince us you have the chance of becoming the emperor otherwise I can't take the risk of annihilating my clan for your sake "

"Since you all want the guarantee , I have no choice then "

The Third Prince shakes his head and waves his sleeve , finally uncovering a mystery hidden by him before the eyes of everyone .

If the Ancient Wudi Clan wasn't important for him , he would not have revealed this but everything was within his expectation .

"This—"

Seeing the thing revealed by the Third Prince , everyone was left in awe and was stunned.

"How is this — possible ?"
