Hmm, after all, the Ziwei Constellation of the Immortal Palace was built later. In Emperor Wu's view, it's still too small and doesn't match his achievements.

So he specifically took land in the Capital to establish Shanglin Garden for himself, scouring the world's strange treasures to fill its secret vaults, and the area is still constantly expanding. Probably after unifying the Nine Provinces, rebuilding the Twelve Countries of the Immortal Palace's world, and taking back Cloud Platform Peak from the Mystic Sect, it will be incorporated into Shanglin Garden, ascending to the true Emperor's Throne and rising to the heavens to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ziwei Constellation, rebuilding a truly eternal Immortal Palace.

Such an important treasury is, of course, strictly guarded daily by a thousand chariots and ten thousand riders of the Yulin Army, along with master practitioners from all over the world whose names are listed on the Immortal Records and Divine List to guard the Emperor, although nominally led by the Great General, in practice directly commanded by the Shanglin Captain.

In other words, this captain is Emperor Wu's close personal guard and confidant, a servant minister designated to detain people, the head of the Imperial Guards, who can directly face the emperor, isolate internal and external affairs, command the ministers, and even the Empress herself must report to the Shanglin Captain to seek audience with Emperor Wu. The weight of their power is simply unbelievable.

And this guy is quite peculiar; it's said that he initially offended the Zhen Country's clan, reported the Vassal King's rebellion, and astonishingly persuaded Emperor Wu face-to-face, leading to the downfall of the Zhen Country's clan, with Zhen Country subsequently falling under the control of the Three Constellations. It is said he also planned the destruction of the Great Shanyu.

Afterward, relying on Emperor Wu's favor, he suppressed the royal vassal kings and noble foreign relatives, shaking the Capital's authority. Even those brutal officials only took a few pennies from the landlords, but not him—he's way more audacious.

The most incredible thing is, this guy not only repeatedly arrested the Crown Prince's trusted disciples and subordinates from the palace, but also devised various ways to charge and execute them, indifferent to the Crown Prince's pleas.

He even found pretexts to punish and execute those supporting the Crown Prince among the Three Ministers, Nine Ministers, princely heirs, princesses, commandery princesses, and prince consorts, confiscating their assets to fill the private storerooms of Shanglin Garden. It seems as though he's willing to throw caution to the wind just to curry favor with Emperor Wu.

However, Emperor Wu quite appreciates him, considering him upright and fair, serving the law unswervingly, maintaining impartiality, and known only to comply with the Immortal Emperor's decrees while disregarding the Crown Prince's requests. Isn't this the model of a loyal minister...

Hmm, based on this information, Chen Xuantian has somewhat understood the current situation.

At present, it seems that Lu Yi is lurking beside the Crown Prince, likely aligning with the Crown Prince's faction, intending to use the Crown Prince to change the national policy set by Emperor Wu, withdrawing the army from the Divine Sect's territory.

And his main opponent in the Capital should be this Shanglin Captain next to Emperor Wu.

But who exactly is this guy? He's truly formidable, considering the Crown Prince is the state's heir apparent, and even Emperor Wu has explicitly allowed him to assist in governance at the Taiwei Constellation. Yet this small captain could indeed orchestrate a multitude to besiege the Crown Prince?

Could it be that this captain isn't just relying on borrowed authority but instead is shielding someone else, taking bullets for them? Is Emperor Wu clearing obstacles for the Crown Prince? Or is there another mantis-stalking cicada kind of plot lurking behind the scenes, maneuvering secretly?

Moreover, by the Crown Prince's side are not only Divine Sect experts like Lu Yi, but even the Sword Sect has sent the Shen Family to support the Crown Prince's faction. Doesn't this mean both the Mystic Sect and Divine Sect supports the Crown Prince?

But judging from historical events, the Crown Prince's faction ultimately lost, and it all became the faction of Prince Li, didn't it?

The Immortal Palace, or those behind the scenes, truly have such formidable power, able to withstand the combined counterattacks of the Mystic and Divine Sects?

At one point, Chen Xuantian also couldn't help but marvel at the depth of the Three Constellations' waters, feeling that it's truly unplayable. So while absorbing the Immortal Gate's Old Ancestor, he flew away, leaving the Capital, traveling to the border of Sizhou and Zhenzhou.

Along the way, relying on absorbing the Old Ancestor's cultivation, Chen Xuantian also filled his belly with Blood Souls. By calculations, if he condenses it all, he could erupt into a dozen or twenty Blood God's Sons. Even when facing a proper Zhongxuan Sect, he might have the strength to fight, or at least escape.

Alright, then let's find a Mystic Sect to practice with! After all, the YCM methods he pondered over for thirty years have many tactical variations! Those small fry that could be stared to death with a glance aren't worth practicing with!

Thus, Chen Xuantian found a bear cave in the wilderness, killed the bear, skinned it, wrapped it around himself, and inscribed charms and arrays inside the cave.

This trick is a secret technique frequently used by the Divine Sect members. When pursued to a dead end by the Immortal Palace Mystic Sect, they can only hide in the mountains and forests. To avoid being detected by the Primordial Spirit Method, they disguise themselves as fierce animals. Though not necessarily fooling some sharp and perceptive masters, it can deceive the majority of mixed cultivators. Moreover, during Primordial Spirit emergence and wandering, it can also fool evil spirits, preventing them from seizing his flesh.

Thus, hiding Chen Huzi's Dao Body within the bear cave, Chen Xuantian let his Blood God's Son's soul emerge, transforming into a blood eagle with a human head, taking flight to the skies, soaring on wings like the wind, straight up to the azure clouds.

Although Chen Xuantian's Immortal Fate is evidently far inferior to Tie Dan's, without facing a calamity every three steps or a disaster every five steps, the Central Plains have vast resources, Immortal Mountain treasure lands, countless Immortal Cave Mansions. As long as the Primordial Spirit is strong and powerful, he can naturally see through the restrictions and barriers set by those immortals and discover many Spirit Communication Secret Realms and Heavenly Materials Treasures.

After traveling for a while, Chen Xuantian indeed found a spirit plant nearby. Observing the surrounding barrier, it's obvious it was set by a cultivator to prevent birds and beasts from taking it privately, intending to come back and pick it when the fruit matures.

Chen Xuantian wasn't particularly interested in the fruit, but instead was more intrigued by the cultivator. Seeing the Guardian Formation was well-arranged and sturdy on the fundamentals, he was certain it would be a worthy opponent to challenge!
