Capital.

Imperial Palace.

At this moment, compared with before, the Imperial Armys defense is tighter than ever. With the news of Emperor Kaipings sudden death, the Crown Prince moved into Weiyang Palace overnight.

After all, a country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. The Crown Prince must now hold court in the palace to reassure the people and deter villains.bender

Its a pity that during Emperor Kaipings reign, he was domineering and overbearing, holding all power tightly in his hands, never giving Crown Prince Ye Kai a chance to show his face.

As a result, the Crown Prince has never been involved in the court, and at first, the Imperial Army didnt have much confidence in him wielding power.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince has loyal subjects around him, most of whom are capable. Moreover, during the crisis, he single-handedly broke into the Five Armies Commanders Mansion, showing his kingly aura.

It is precisely because of Ye Kais actions, coupled with the military power at hand, that the Dayan Imperial Court has been temporarily stabilized, and the capital has not experienced major problems.

However, everyone knows that this is just a temporary solution. If the Crown Prince cant appease the court and suppress the worlds rebellions in the future, there may be a change in the Dayan Imperial Courts name.

Under such apprehensive circumstances throughout the capital, both ordinary people and aristocratic families are afraid to leave their homes at night.

As a result, a curfew has once again appeared in the capital, and the situation is more severe than any previous time, affecting even the businesses in the Red Light District.

Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Crown Prince Ye Kais expression is gloomy. If the late Emperor had allowed him to get involved in politics earlier, perhaps the Dayan would not have declined to such an extent.

Only after taking charge of the house, does one know the extent of its decay. This is what Ye Kai thinks now.

When Emperor Kaiping first ascended the throne, although there had been Prince Pingans rebellion earlier, the National Treasury was full, and all was peaceful under heaven.

However, in just twenty years, Emperor Kaiping caused the National Treasury to become empty, and endless factional strife emerged in the court.

Although the situation around the capital is still controllable, the further away it is, the worse the situation becomes locally, causing the people severe hardship.

After specifically checking the recent reports from the southwest, the Crown Prince couldnt help but sigh in his heart. The rebellion in the southwest was actually an inevitable result.

What he felt fortunate about now was that although his father had died, at least the rebellion in the southwest had been scattered for now.

Although there are still rebellions all over the country, they are not as serious as the southwest. As long as he ascends the throne and focuses on recovery, Dayan should still be salvageable.

Ye Kai quietly reassures himself, unwittingly walking to the Grand Temple, and then staring at it in a daze. Before, he had followed his father in paying homage to their ancestors, praying for the fortune of the Dayan Kingdom.

Now, with Emperor Kaipings sudden death and his body soon to be brought back to the capital, he has to truly take charge of the unruly Dayan.

With this thought in mind, his expression grows even more somber, as he pushes open the main gate of the Grand Temple. At this moment, among the flickering candlelight in front of the ancestral tablets, a wisp of green smoke lingers.

There is an elderly figure with white hair and beard, dutifully replacing extinguished incense with new ones.

Ye Kai couldnt help but feel warmth in his heart, You can leave now. 1 want to sit here alone for a while, and no one will hold you accountable.

Since he had not yet ascended the throne, Ye Kai could only call himself His Majesty. The old eunuch who was guarding the temple didnt leave upon hearing this, causing Ye Kai to frown.

However, before Ye Kai could speak, the white-haired old man took the initiative to speak, You are quite good, but unfortunately, you were born at the wrong time.

Originally regarded as a eunuch guarding the temple, the moment he opened his mouth, the Crown Prince realized something was off.

Who are you?

Who am I? Your father should have been the one to tell you, but since hes dead now, Ill have to tell you myself.

As the white-haired old man turned around, who else could he be but the Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect? At this moment, Ye Kai does not call for the Imperial Armys help. His composure made the Old Sect Master nod in approval.

As the Old Sect Master continued, Ye Kai became increasingly shocked by his story. But when it ended, he decided to believe everything the other party had said.

Because everything mentioned matched up with the facts, and the Nine Provinces Tripod was in the hands of the Lifeless Sect at this moment. Emperor Kaiping personally guarded this important artifact, and it could only be touched with his permission by the descendants of the Ye family.

Anyone who touched the Nine Provinces Tripod without permission would suffer from the backlash of the dynastys luck and have their lifespan shortened.

Ye Kai calmed down and said, So youre saying that my unknown-generation Uncle Ye Chen has decided to go with the popular sentiment and is preparing to overthrow Dayan and establish a new dynasty?

Ye Kais complexion darkened. No wonder the Lifeless Sects power was growing; it turned out there was such a secret hidden in the background. Almost all territories south of Dayan were now in their control.

We have no choice. Your father has plunged the world into chaos, and its beyond help. We can only go with the flow and establish a new dynasty.

Moreover, you are still young, and your Martial Arts skills havent faltered. Once the new dynasty is established, you can form a new sect and become the guardian of the new dynasty.

Hearing this, Ye Kais expression became complicated. How could he accept this? After all, he belonged to the legitimate lineage. The Old Sect Master noticed his reluctance and couldnt help but laugh, Do you know why our Lifeless Sect branch of the Ye family has been able to hide in the darkness for so many years?

At the mention of this, Ye Kai was taken aback. In the heat of the moment, he hadnt considered this question.

Because Dayan is only a small part of the vast world, we are merely the guardians of the cultivation worlds powers.

Every hundred years, we gather enough fortune and the Upper Sect sends resources to us for cultivation. Why else do you think our Ye familys innate talents have remained strong? Is it really just because of an abundance of geniuses?

Aside from providing resources, the messenger also selects people to enter the cultivating world. Our Lifeless Sect branch is willing to lurk in the darkness because we have priority. Only when our disciples lack merit, will he choose someone from the main imperial family branch of the Ye family to follow the Upper Sect into the cultivation world.

Now you understand why our Lifeless Sect branch is willing to live in the shadows, dont you? When the new dynasty is established, your branch will also have priority.

This was the wisdom of the Grand Ancestor of Dayan. Only in this way can we ensure the continuous inheritance and everlasting prosperity of the Ye family.

If it werent for the fact that Dayan is beyond saving, or perhaps we could still have ten-odd years to support it, I wouldnt be willing to have our branch come out now to control Dayan since the messenger is about to arrive.

Unfortunately, the situation is pressing, and for the sake of the Ye familys continuing legacy, our Lifeless Sect branch has no choice but to do so

Hearing this, Ye Kai remained silent for a long time.

But what if there comes an extreme situation where neither the main imperial family branch nor the Lifeless Sect branch can shoulder the responsibility, and the dynastys fortune is taken by others? What should we do?

The Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect couldnt help but nod when he heard this. Ye Kai was indeed outstanding as he thought far ahead, and his eyes were filled with appreciation.

Your question is excellent. Do you know why I want to keep the Nine Provinces Tripod? Because if that situation occurs, it will tell us how to enter the cultivation world.

The Nine Provinces Tripod?

Yes, but I cant tell you this secret now. When you become the guardian hiding in the shadows of the new Ye Dynasty, 1 will tell you everything.

If I dont live to see that time, someone else will replace me to tell you everything. So have you made your decision now?

Alright, I agree with you. However, I want to try and see if the world really collapses, only then will 1 resign myself to the situation and become the Lifeless Sect of the new dynasty.

Of course, you can.

Ye Kai stared deeply at the Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect and decisively left without any hesitation. However, after leaving the Grand Temple, his brows furrowed even more.

Is this world truly beyond saving?

At the same time, not far away, Liang Sheng looked towards the Imperial Palace with a deep gaze, as the result he was waiting for was getting closer.

As long as he waited for the Dayan Dynasty to crumble, that would be the moment he seized the Nine Provinces Tripod, and by then he should know the secrets of the cultivation world.

At this moment, Liang Sheng wasnt anxious.. The Nine Provinces Tripod was as good as his!
