The Water Tribe's Golden Age of Development

Nine-Phoenix Continent, Nine Phoenix Imperial City.

Inside the magnificent palace, the Nine Phoenix Emperor and Prince Wu Feng, who had always been at odds, sat facing each other, with Prince Huo Wu and Crown Prince Nine Phoenix Crown Prince standing behind them respectively.

"You really didn't do this?" the Nine Phoenix Emperor asked calmly, but in his heart, a raging inferno was boiling over.

Heaven knows how much the Nine-Phoenix Clan sacrificed to conceal their Heavenly Mandate Fruit Positions and unify the entire Nine Phoenix Realm.

However, now it has been directly exposed. When he first heard the news, even with the Nine Phoenix Emperor's composure, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

"You should know my feelings for the Imperial Dynasty. The dispute between us is just an internal matter. How could I possibly do anything to harm the interests of the clan?" Prince Wu Feng was equally calm, but his burning eyes revealed the anger in his heart.

The Nine Phoenix Emperor glanced at his cousin and nodded slightly. As Prince Wu Feng said, unless he had lost his mind, he could not possibly have done such a thing.

Revealing information about the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position would not benefit Prince Wu Feng at all, and it is completely inconsistent with his temperament.

"Who is it? If I catch him, I'll roast his soul in the True Fire for ten thousand years!" Prince Huo Wu clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. Unlike the other shrewd and calculating men beside him, he was just a brute with explosive fighting skills. Don't expect him to suppress his raging anger.

"Father, Uncle, the most urgent matter at this moment is dealing with the dangerous situation within the realm after the balance of power has been broken. One wrong move and it could easily trigger a civil war. We must be extremely cautious!" Nine Phoenix Crown Prince said.

"Yes, my son is right. This matter has too great an impact and must be resolved as soon as possible to suppress the anger of the other races..." Just as the Nine Phoenix Emperor finished speaking, a Nine-Phoenix Clan Sage Manifestation hurriedly walked in, knelt on one knee, and reported, "Your Imperial Lord, Your Highness! The armies of the Six Great Clans — Eastern King Continent, Ten Thousand Demon Continent, Giant Spirit Continent Fire-Bathing Continent Divine Wind Continent Fire Spirit Continent—have withdrawn from the Lu Wu Realm and Qiongqi Realm at the same time."

This has resulted in the Imperial Dynasty's Direct Lineage troops and powerful warriors being surrounded, creating an extremely critical situation!

"What? How dare they?" Prince Huo Wu stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the Fire Phoenix Tribe's Sage Manifestation, and stared with eyes as wide as copper bells.

"Huo Wu!!" Prince Wu Feng shouted in a low voice.

Prince Huo Wu curled his lip and put the Nine-Phoenix Clan's Sage Manifestation down.

"There's nothing we wouldn't dare to do. Don't be fooled by the title of the number one race. If we had the ability to unify the Nine Phoenix Realms, we wouldn't have waited until today."

If these Six Great Clans join forces, even if the Imperial Dynasty unleashes its hidden Deities, it may not be a match for them.

Under these circumstances, it's perfectly normal for them to set us up!

Prince Wu Feng, however, calmed down and spoke calmly.

"Then what do we do? Order them back to provide support?" Prince Huo Wu asked, his eyes wide.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Prince Wu Feng's eyes as he explained, "They won't listen. Rather than being rejected and needlessly damaging the Imperial Dynasty's prestige, we'd better take matters into our own hands and rescue these forces."

Firstly, it demonstrates power and ensures the authority of the Imperial Dynasty.

Secondly, it can strike at the Lu Wu Realm, paving the way for future wars.

However, with the strength of one clan, simultaneously dealing with both the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm would definitely result in enormous losses; we must be prepared!

The Nine Phoenix Emperor's expression was cold and aloof. "Send out the Deities. Since we've already been exposed, there's no need to hide anymore."

Starting today, we will build numerous Deity Shrines across the Nine-Phoenix Continent to collect Incense Power, while simultaneously sending people to negotiate with other races.

During the Interface War, a civil war is unlikely to break out so easily. At worst, some interests will be ceded. It's not a big deal if the Nine Phoenix Realm cannot be unified in a short time.

As long as our race retains its Heavenly Mandate Race identity, it will not decline.

A thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years—there will eventually be a time when unification is achieved.

The most urgent task is to win the war between the realms, devour the other two realms, and help the Nine Phoenix Realm rise in rank. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be missed!

"Let's do it this way. I'll keep an eye on the war in the Lu Wu Realm. Your Crown Prince, I'll leave the Qiongqi Realm to you!" Prince Wu Feng stood up, bowed to Nine Phoenix Emperor, and left the hall, followed closely by Prince Huo Wu.

"My son, I must remain in the capital to oversee the overall situation. Be careful in the Qiongqi Realm," the Nine Phoenix Emperor instructed.

"Father, rest assured, I understand!" Crown Prince Nine Phoenix Crown Prince nodded and left the hall as well.

The Nine Phoenix Emperor sat on his throne, his face cold and sinister. "If I find out who's behind this, I'll make you wish you were dead..."

Endless Abyss, the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm.

Today, this is the main base of the Water Tribe Settlement, which is commanded by Yang Tiankang.

A series of buildings with distinctive Water Tribe ethnic style stand amidst the rolling mountains. This Secret Realm is also Profound Grade, covering an area equivalent to more than half of Qin Province. It is rich in resources and extremely secluded.

"Great! The Nine-Phoenix Dynasty has become the target of everyone's criticism, and our Water Tribe's chance to turn the tables has arrived!" Ni Xian'er's pretty face flushed red, and she looked extremely excited.

She Cailing exhibited the same behavior; the Water Tribe had always been oppressed and suppressed by the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty, and could not develop at all.

But things are different now. After the news of the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Positions was leaked, the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty was targeted by various races and was in a state of chaos, with no time to deal with the Water Tribe.

A golden age of development has arrived, and if this opportunity can be seized, the strength of the Water Tribe will undergo a tremendous Bloodline Metamorphosis.

Yang Tiankang sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked at the two women. After a long while, he said softly, "Send orders to all Branch Altar to focus on development from today onwards. Also, send messages to other races, seeking their support. Today is different from the past; they should no longer refuse us!"

"Yes!" The two women stood up and walked out of the Palace with excited expressions.

Shanhai strode out, his aura growing ever stronger, like a great sun fallen to earth, radiant and intensely hot.

"I doubt anyone would have guessed that you were the one who caused this huge uproar, right?" Yang Tiankang said with a laugh.

"It's best they never find out. I've said it before: making a fortune in silence is the key!"

"Yes, with the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty restrained, the Water Tribe will develop dozens or even hundreds of times faster. We can also take the opportunity to seize a large amount of resources and send them back to our Lineage to accelerate Lineage development," Yang Tiankang said with a smile.

Shanhai nodded, "The Lineage is currently in dire need of various Soul-Type Resources; otherwise, the production of Talisman Soldiers will be insufficient, which will affect our development!"

"Soul-Type Resources..." Yang Tiankang pondered for a moment, "It seems there's a forbidden area in the Nine Phoenix Realm called the Myriad Souls Abyss, which is rich in various Soul-Type Resources. Once the Water Tribes have developed, we can send more people there to collect them!"

"I'll go check on the Myriad Souls Abyss first. You stay and guard the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm, be extra careful!"

"Don't worry, with the Beacon-Fire Sword and relying on the Secret Realm Origin, even Late Sage Manifestation cultivator couldn't do anything to me, let alone the fact that they can't even find the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm!" Yang Tiankang appeared extremely confident.

Shanhai nodded slightly, then stepped away, heading towards the Myriad Souls Abyss.
