Only Jiang Ming and Carefree Traveler were unaware of the existence of Death Guard.
Of course, Sky-Sealing Tower was also in Guan Tian's hands. The young disciples from the Three Prominent Families inside were cultivating at an astonishing speed. One of them, a boy named Ying Shangzhi, stood out remarkably, exuding an air of genius as if a new star was rising. This motivated the other boys to catch up desperately.
After a month of long travel, they finally arrived at the capital of Vast Empire.
There was some controversy in Vast Bright Empire regarding Guan Tian's sudden decision to come with Jiang Ming. They understood that Guan Tian intended to elevate Jiang Ming's status.
Thus, there was intense conflict over how to welcome Guan Tian and Jiang Ming.
One viewpoint argued that Guan Tian should be given a grand welcome while Jiang Ming should be sidelined, ensuring that no respect was shown to him.
Another viewpoint held that not giving Jiang Ming respect would also be disrespectful to Guan Tian, as Guan Tian arriving with Jiang Ming already indicated his support for him. Therefore, if they did not show respect to Jiang Ming, it would be equivalent to disrespecting Guan Tian.
Wuma Xiangwei, Wuma Weizuo, and even He Bi believed that both should be welcomed simultaneously; there was no downside to this approach. Since Guan Tian valued Jiang Ming, why not make friends with him now?
As a result, the Emperor of the Myriad Realms decided to warmly and grandly welcome Captain Guan Tian and Prince Jiang Ming.
Guan Tian had now become a legend in Yongning Continent.
He was a disciple of Southern Source Acid Road Deity,
He was a junior disciple of Angry Heaven's Little Ancestor Saint,
His nephew was Elder Lan Xuelei from Dragon Lake Academy, who had reached the peak of Eternal Realm,
Not long ago, he teamed up with Lan Xuelei to force three Little Ancestor Saints from Ancient Tomb Sect into the Spatial Rift, completely turning the tide of battle in Yongning Continent.
He had defeated multiple assassination attempts from the Azure Peak Sect, Azure Dragon Sect, and Nanyue Sect, killing dozens of powerful Disciples from the three sects, and even managed to seize their treasured relic.
At just fifteen or sixteen years old, he had already become a Senior Cultivator in the Eternal Realm, making him one of the geniuses of the Yongning Continent.
So when Guan Tian arrived at the capital of the Vast Empire, the streets were filled with people who came out to welcome him.
On both sides of the city streets, there was a sea of people. When they saw such a handsome young man in Guan Tian, they were all astonished.
Thousands of young girls felt their hearts flutter and shouted Guan Tian's name with all their might. Many were moved to tears, wishing they could rush to his side immediately.
The sounds of gasps and cheers echoed through the air, blending with the welcoming salutes from the Vast Empire.
The scene was extremely lively.
The Emperor of the Myriad Realms and princes lined up, followed by ministers in another row, with numerous military leaders at the back.
Guan Tian quickly spotted He Bi among those welcoming him and rushed over to shake her hand tightly. "Sister, how have you been since arriving here? Are you getting used to it? Wuma Xiangzuo hasn't bullied you, has he?"
Now that she was engaged to Wuma Xiangzuo, He Bi had started wearing a veil.
The Universal Emperor intended to step forward to shake hands with Guan Yue but saw him rush over to He Bi instead. He could only smile wryly and greet Jiang Ming instead.
At that moment, Carefree Traveler was recording everything with an Echo Stone. Once back in the Southern Source Empire, this would be the capital Jiang Ming used for promotion.
He Bi was also very happy to see Guan Yue. She excitedly said, "Brother, you've been so busy lately; it's been a long time since I last saw you. Are you doing well?"
Guan Tian smiled and replied, "I'm fine. Don't worry; there aren't many who can hurt me now. How is Wuma Xiangzuo treating you?"
"Very good. He asked me, hoping I could help him fight for the position of Crown Prince," He Bi said to Guan Tian without any concealment.
Guan Tian smiled and said, "That's fine. When you become Queen in the future, you should treat the Southern Source Empire a bit better."
The two laughed together.
At that moment, Wuma Xiangwei ran over, very angry, and said to Guan Tian, "Guan Tian, how can you say one thing and do another? You promised to come visit our Vast Empire soon, but you never came. When I begged you to come, you kept making excuses—today you pushed it to tomorrow, tomorrow to the day after. What do you have to say for yourself now?"
"Miss Xiangwei, it seems you still owe me some money, right? Pay up! Hurry! For someone so ungrateful, I can only demand it seriously."
Guan Tian felt very happy seeing He Bi and Xiang Wei; the banter among the three was quite casual.
After chatting for a while, Xiang Wei said, "Father is still waiting for you to ride back to the palace together."
Guan Tian laughed and replied, "I came this time just to see my sister and Miss Xiangwei; it's not about state affairs."
Xiang Wei quickly urged, "Father truly welcomes you. Just do me this favor."
He Bi also said, "Hurry up! Don't forget what I just told you."
Guan Tian suddenly realized that in order for He Bi to become Queen, he really needed to maintain a good relationship with the Majesty of the Vast Empire.
So Guan Tian called Jiang Ming and together they boarded the golden carriage of the Vast Empire. The Emperor of the Myriad Realms asked Guan Tian to stand in the middle. Guan Tian refused and insisted that the Emperor stand in the middle while he and Jiang Ming stood on either side. They returned while receiving the worship of the people along the way.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Vast Empire was very pleased; having Guan Tian and Jiang Ming standing beside him made him feel quite honored. On one side was the future ruler of the Three Kingdoms, and on the other was the future Emperor of the Southern Source Empire. Being at the center of it all truly delighted him!
Jiang Ming was also very satisfied; representing the Southern Source Empire this time and being in such a position alongside Guan Tian made him extremely happy.
He was a prince, merely one of the many princes of the Southern Source Empire Emperor, not even the crown prince. Yet now he could represent a nation, standing beside the emperor of another country, receiving the adoration of countless people. It was truly an honor.
Amidst the cheers of billions, the procession was grand and impressive. The Emperor of the Myriad Realms, Guan Tian, the captain of the special operations team, and Jiang Ming, the Thirteenth Prince of the Southern Source Empire, formed a rather unconventional trio but were all very satisfied with how the parade concluded.
They finally returned to the Vast Empire Palace, where a high-profile royal banquet awaited them. It was a grand and warm event, signifying the emperor's enthusiastic welcome to Guan Tian, who was also in attendance.
Guan Tian had no desire for such superficial matters, but under the pressure from He Bi and Princess Xiangwei, he had no choice but to participate. For He Bi's happiness, he also needed to fight for Wuma Xiangzuo's claim to the position of crown prince.
During the banquet, as they toasted and exchanged cups, the Emperor of the Myriad Realms asked Guan Tian how to handle relations among the Three Kingdoms in the future.
Guan Tian thought for a moment and replied, "My master has always emphasized friendly relations among the Three Kingdoms, which is also my principle. However, recently the Ancient Tomb Sect has been rampant, harming women and poisoning the world. Our three empires should strengthen communication and protect each other; we must not create internal strife. Any actions that undermine friendly relations among the Three Kingdoms are considered acts against us."
Guan Tian's words reminded him of his encounter with Du Pengyang in Qihacheng when he realized that at that time, the Vast Empire had intentions to meddle in Southern Source Empire affairs.
However, upon hearing Guan Tian's words, the emperor of Vast Empire felt greatly relieved. He understood that Guan Tian did not have plans for unifying the Three Kingdoms and nodded in agreement, saying, "Our three empires have maintained a historical status quo for a thousand years. We need to work together and strengthen our unity to ensure mutual development and progress."
Seizing the opportunity, Guan Tian said, "I hope that in the future my Sister He Bi and Brother-in-law Wuma Xiangzuo can visit Southern Source Empire more often; I will certainly welcome their arrival. In the future, Jiang Ming Prince will also welcome them. Right?"
Jiang Ming felt delighted at Guan Tian's blatant recommendation of himself and naturally responded with understanding: "I will do my utmost to welcome Sister He and her Witch Horse prince."
Wuma Xiangzuo also stood up and bowed to Guan Tian before raising his head to say, "I am deeply honored. In the future, I will definitely engage more with Southern Source Empire and welcome both of you to visit often to enhance our exchanges and friendship."
Wuma Xiangwei and her elder brothers immediately sensed something was amiss; Guan Tian was clearly pressuring the emperor regarding succession. It was evident that he was indicating his support for Wuma Xiangzuo as crown prince and future emperor while subtly hinting at his support for Jiang Ming as emperor of Southern Source Empire.
This explained why he had made such a swift journey to Vast Empire while accompanying Jiang Ming despite the long distance!
The First Prince and Second Prince felt a wave of helplessness. At this moment, they realized that their third brother Wuma Xiangzuo's pursuit of He Bi was indeed a brilliant move. Not only had he won over an extraordinary beauty but he also gained Guan Tian's strong support.
This step is truly brilliant!
Seeing Guan Tian so openly support Wuma Xiangzuo, He Bi couldn't help but smile. She knew that she was already the person with the highest cultivation level in the royal family, and now with Guan Tian's full support, Wuma Xiangzuo's position as crown prince was definitely secured.
The Emperor of the Vast Bright Empire and the ministers also caught on to Guan Tian's implication. Aside from those who had already pledged allegiance to the First Prince and Second Prince, the rest didn't really care who became the crown prince.
The scene fell silent as everyone looked at the emperor, waiting to see how he would respond.
The emperor was a cunning old fox. After thinking for a moment, he laughed and said, "Everyone, let us raise our glasses to toast to the permanent friendship among the Three Kingdoms proposed by Captain Guan Tian!"
All the princes, ministers, and military generals stood up and drank from their cups.
At this moment, Guan Tian could clearly sense that the emperor of the Vast Empire had not yet made a final decision in his heart, so he decided to continue applying pressure.
Now, he had no reservations in front of the emperor and could act freely.
He directly asked the Emperor of the Myriad Realms, "Wuma Xiangzuo is now my brother-in-law; I wonder what Your Majesty plans for him in the future?"
Guan Tian's relentless advance made He Bi very satisfied: this is how my brother should be—confident and fearless.
The First Prince and Second Prince showed displeasure; this Guan Tian was too arrogant, daring to interfere in the affairs of our Vast Empire?
