As Shen Yuan entered the Prince's Mansion under the guidance of Ji Zhaoyang, he immediately felt that the prying eyes of the outside world disappeared.

Looking around, although it is located in the same place as the Xue family, the residence of the powerful prince from ten thousand years ago is far superior to the earl's mansion of the Xue family in later generations.

The space within the mansion was forcibly opened up by the formation, expanding the original space dozens of times. Looking around, one could only see fairy mountains, magical springs, pavilions and towers, with rare treasures and exotic animals passing through. It looked like a fairyland.

Walking by the pond, Shen Yuan even saw a few beautiful mermaids swimming in the swirling clouds. The carp in the pond had dragon whiskers on their faces and golden scales. They were all dragon species with true dragon blood, which would be enough to become great monsters in the future.

"These mermaids are born with different species, and the tears they shed can be called night-shining spirit pearls. They were presented to my father by the Dragon King of the East China Sea during the grand court meeting, and later given to me by my father.

As for these dragon carps, they were born in the land of Longmen and were naturally stained with the blood of real dragons. However, without being tempered, their potential has been exhausted and it is difficult for them to transform into real dragons. They can only become food to fill the stomach. They were left behind by the contemporary dragon sons of the Yellow River Dragon Palace when they visited.

The Yellow River Dragon Carp is extremely delicious, Fellow Daoist Shen must try it later."

Ji Zhaoyang spoke lightly, saying that the Yellow River Dragon Carp was just a food ingredient, but that was only for the Dayin royal family.

Anyone who dares to eat the Yellow River Dragon Carp in the thirty-six regions outside of Jiuzhou will inevitably suffer revenge from the entire Yellow River Dragon Palace. Even True Lord Lianxu may not be able to withstand it.

As a result, when he arrived at the Dayin royal family, the dragon son of the Yellow River Dragon Palace, the first of the Four Rivers, even took the initiative to offer a dragon carp, which made Shen Yuan sigh at the power of Dayin ten thousand years ago.

If this happened in later times when the royal family of Daxia began to eat dragon carp, a real dragon from the Yellow River Dragon Palace would surely come to visit the next day.

Under the guidance of Ji Zhaoyang, Shen Yuan and Ji Zhaoyang entered the inner courtyard of the mansion.

This courtyard is full of colorful flowers and petals, and in the center there is a jade table with two seats reserved.

Xu Guan and the attendants around him had already withdrawn on their own initiative, leaving only two beautiful maids serving by his side.

Shen Yuan glanced at the maid beside him and noticed that this maid, who looked like an ordinary person, was actually a mechanical puppet without intelligence. The only real living beings left in the inner courtyard were Shen Yuan and Ji Zhaoyang.

"sit!"

Ji Zhaoyang extended his right hand and then took the initiative to sit down in front of the jade table.

Shen Yuan sat down with a normal expression. Two puppet maids brought him a fruit plate and cooked spiritual wine. In this beautiful courtyard, there was a sense of leisure and elegance.

However, Shen Yuan didn't have the energy to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, and he said directly:

"Actually, I'm very curious about why the Third Prince invited me to the Imperial Capital?"

Ji Zhaoyang smiled calmly: "Of course, this is to repay the blessing of Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda given by Daoist Fellow Shen."

Before he could finish his reason, he was interrupted by Shen Yuan.

“Your Highness the Third Prince may use this excuse to deceive outsiders, but it is unnecessary for me.

No one in this world knows the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda better than me. I know exactly how its blessing mark works, but it is far from enough for the Third Prince to attach so much importance to it, let alone to offer a place in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms for it. "

The smile on Ji Zhaoyang's face faded a little, and he looked at Shen Yuan with a serious gaze. The fate of humanity quietly lingered around him, and the status of Prince Dayin was revealed at this moment.

An invisible sense of oppression emanated from Ji Zhaoyang. This was not the pressure from the realm of cultivation or the level of soul and spirit, but the oppression from the humanity of the entire world.

Shen Yuan looked calm and completely ignored Ji Zhaoyang's actions.

In the Xuanhuang Realm tens of thousands of years ago, as long as one was a creature in the Xuanhuang Realm, even someone as strong as True Lord Lianxu would be at a disadvantage when facing human suppression.

This is the double blessing brought by the Dayin royal family and the prosperity of humanity. No living creature can escape.

However, this ability had no effect on Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan is not a citizen of Dayin, and does not even belong to this time and space. He has long foreseen the future decline of humanity, so how could he be easily suppressed by the power of humanity?

What's more, Shen Yuan possesses great humanitarian potential and can completely ignore this degree of humanitarian luck mobilization.

Inside Shen Yuan's body, Ji Zhaoyang's actions seemed to have stimulated the human trend within his body. This power belonging to the origin of humanity was operating instinctively, and it seemed that the Dharma image of humanity could manifest behind him at any time and replace the will that controls the imperial capital.

If Shen Yuan had not tried his best to suppress it, the counterattack of the Humane Dharma would have been enough to completely defeat Ji Zhaoyang.

A hint of admiration flashed in Ji Zhaoyang's eyes. He knew better than anyone else how terrifying the humanitarian pressure of the Dayin royal family was.

The fact that Shen Yuan could easily ignore it was enough to show how profound his background was.

Retracting the humane pressure, Ji Zhaoyang shook his head and said:

“In fact, I was presumptuous in not asking for Fellow Daoist Shen’s opinion.

But this matter is of great importance, and I had no choice but to resort to this measure."

His face gradually became solemn, and Ji Zhaoyang said solemnly:

"The reason why I invited Fellow Daoist Shen to participate in this Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms is not to compete for any opportunity, but simply to protect myself."

"Self-protection?"

"That's right!" Ji Zhaoyang drank the wine in the cup and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“Although I failed the trial in Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and lost my memory of the trial, after returning to the imperial capital, I suddenly found that I seemed to be closer to the humanity of Xuanhuang Realm.

The favor of humanity allowed me to eliminate the troubles of rapidly improving my realm, and to control more of the destiny of humanity, allowing me to stand out among all my brothers and sisters.

This phenomenon is very puzzling to me, but in the face of outside doubts, I can only claim that this is the effect of the blessing mark bestowed by Fellow Daoist Shen."

Ji Zhaoyang's words immediately reminded Shen Yuan of the trial that took place in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and the small world overseas.

Although Shen Yuan has been planting the sun and the moon, he still has a certain understanding of the overall situation.

Ji Zhaoyang once promoted humanity in the Mu Kingdom. With the help of Prince Dayin, he was named the Human King and pushed the Mu Kingdom from the chaotic world of demons to the ranks of the humanitarian dynasty.

Although he failed in the end, he did plant the seeds of humanity in that small world. It is completely reasonable that such an achievement would be favored by humanity.

However, Shen Yuan did not explain the reason to Ji Zhaoyang, and the matter of the trial could not be spread to the outside world at will.

"Isn't it a good thing that the Third Prince is favored by humanity?"

"Good thing? Maybe!" Ji Zhaoyang sighed and asked Shen Yuan:

"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you know the conditions for the selection of the crown prince by the Great Yin royal family?"

“I never knew.”

“In the Dayin Imperial Family, even if you are extremely talented and intelligent, and have the support of all the nobles, you may not be able to ascend the throne of the Emperor smoothly.

Because the realm of cultivation, talent, and support from civil and military officials are all irrelevant to the Dayin royal family. The only criterion for measurement is the amount of human luck. The more human luck one has, the stronger the human trend that can be mobilized when he ascends the throne of the emperor in the future, and the greater the strength that the emperor can exert when he sits in the imperial capital.

Only in this way can the Great Yin Emperor dominate the world and rule the thirty-six regions of the Nine Provinces."

The puppet maid at the side stepped forward to fill the Third Prince's glass with spiritual wine. The Third Prince held the wine glass with a distressed look and said:

“Although it seems that the selection of the crown prince is entirely a matter of luck, after so many years of succession of emperors, some standards have been summarized.

For example, if a prince is well-known for his benevolence and is supported by civil and military officials, then his humanitarian aura will be stronger.

With the Human Emperor suppressing the Xuanhuang Realm and the overall destiny of humanity tending to stabilize, this small difference in destiny is enough to determine who will be the crown prince."

“My eldest brother is more than 300 years older than me. As the first son of the Emperor of Man, he was named Crown Prince very early on. His maternal clan built momentum for him, and all the civil and military officials also took the initiative to approach him.

Although the prince barely broke through the realm of returning to emptiness when he was four hundred years old, relying on the advantage of his age, the prince's humanitarian luck far exceeded that of his other brothers and sisters.

Although he is not well-known outside the Thirty-Six Regions, everyone in the court and the public agrees that the Crown Prince is the future Crown Prince of Dayin."

After hearing this, Shen Yuan gradually understood the cause and effect.

“But as I was favored by humanity and the concentration of my humanity luck exceeded that of the crown prince, the situation completely changed.

My talent for cultivation is among the best in the Dayin royal family, far surpassing that of the crown prince. In addition, my luck concentration has surpassed that of the crown prince, which has made many powerful officials who invested early regret it.

Some civil and military officials began to approach me, and my mother's family also began to build momentum for me.

It has long been an iron rule in Dayin that the only criterion for measuring the crown prince is human destiny. Even if the crown prince has made plans hundreds of years in advance, it is difficult to make up for the gap in human destiny. "

"My sudden rise has disrupted the situation in the court of Dayin. Many ministers who placed their bets early on are worried that I will settle accounts with them after I ascend to the throne. The crown prince even regards me as a thorn in his side.

But if it were just these, it would be fine. Everything would be suppressed under the will of the Human Emperor, and there would be nothing the Crown Prince and the ministers could do even if they were unwilling.

But after I received the favor of humanity, my father did not issue any decree, but only gave me some treasures and those mermaids.

Regarding the dispute between the Crown Prince and I, my father seemed to have maintained a tacit attitude, which made the Crown Prince and those ministers who had placed bets in advance more and more daring. After all, my humanitarian favor was only a slight advantage and could not completely suppress the Crown Prince.

As time went on, the disputes that had been going on behind the scenes gradually came to the surface.”

“The Crown Prince’s party had already laid out their plans for the government and the country early on, and they have many old-fashioned nobles and dignitaries, which gives them an advantage in terms of size.

As a latecomer, I could only retreat step by step in the face of the offensive of the crown prince. The civil and military officials who supported me were simply unable to resist. They could only hope that my father would follow the ancestral system and come forward to designate the position of crown prince.

If I continue to delay, the overall situation will be more favorable to me, but as the news of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of the various realms spreads, everything has changed. "

The sadness on Ji Zhaoyang's face became more and more intense.

“As one of the grand events in the Xuanhuang Realm, the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms will definitely be attended by the Dayin Royal Family. As the most talented prince in the Dayin Royal Family, I will definitely take up a place in the Dharma Assembly.

The place where the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms is held is not within the Xuanhuang Realm. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the people of the Prince's faction.

If they were in the imperial capital, no matter how crazy the crown prince and the ministers behind him were, they would not be able to take action under the nose of his father.

But the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms will sever the connection with the Xuanhuang Realm. As long as I am eliminated during the Dharma Assembly, the prince can continue to sit back and relax as the crown prince."

At this point, Ji Zhaoyang could no longer conceal the anxiety in his eyes, and he spoke directly to Shen Yuan:

“The Crown Prince’s family has a profound foundation, and the Crown Prince is even a Great Immortal in the Return to Void Realm.

Although I was able to get a place in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of the various realms, I couldn't find many candidates who could enter the Dharma Assembly, so it was extremely difficult to fight against the prince."

“After hearing that Fellow Daoist Shen had killed the Giant Mountain God, I thought of asking Fellow Daoist Shen to escort me to complete the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms.

I asked the Chief of the Heavenly Supervision Department to personally deduce the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Shen. After confirming that Fellow Daoist Shen was in Youzhou, I sent Xu Guan to invite Fellow Daoist Shen to the imperial capital.

As long as Fellow Daoist Shen can escort me back safely, I will not take any opportunity in the Dharma Assembly. Fellow Daoist Shen can also put forward any conditions, as long as I can achieve them, I will do my best. "

“Although I am not as knowledgeable as the Crown Prince, I can still mobilize some of the rare treasures, magical powers and spells in the royal treasury.”

As he spoke, the Third Prince bowed solemnly to Shen Yuan.

After listening to the third prince's story, Shen Yuan's expression became somewhat moved.

He thought that Ji Zhaoyang had other purposes, but he never realized that this matter actually involved the power transition within the Dayin royal family and the competition for the future throne of the Emperor.

Even though Shen Yuan already knew that neither the Third Prince Ji Zhaoyang nor the eldest prince would be the final winner, this did not hinder the impact of this matter.

If it spreads to the outside world, I am afraid that many blessed places will be affected.

“However, the struggle for royal power should still be somewhat limited, and the blessed land of Dongtian will definitely not be able to intervene in the dispute over the throne of the emperor.

That is to say, I have always been a lone ranger, and have offended Xiaoyou Qingxuzhitian and Donghuang God System successively, so I can be regarded as a helper by the Third Prince. "

For others, even if they have the ability to intervene in the dispute over the throne of the Human Emperor, they must consider the possible causal crises that may arise.

But this is nothing to Shen Yuan.

Ten thousand years later in the Xuanhuang Realm, Shen Yuan personally supported a Human Emperor to ascend the throne and was awarded the title of the Human Emperor's Teacher.

Although it is an incomplete position of the Human Emperor in a broken world, he is still the real Human Emperor in essence. This makes Shen Yuan not as afraid of the current situation as outsiders imagine.

"I agree."

Shen Yuan responded lightly, with a relaxed attitude as if he was answering Ji Zhaoyang's question about what to eat tonight.

Ji Zhaoyang was stunned, then his face showed ecstasy.

With Shen Yuan's strength, he may not be able to get the last chance at the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, but it is definitely enough to save his life.

"But I have a request." Shen Yuan's voice rang out again.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please feel free to speak."

"I want all the methods of practicing the Disha magical powers collected by the Dayin royal family!"
