Chapter 596: The Prince’s Plan (2)

While this shocked the Sages, they could not help but feel pity for themselves. They had a feeling that they were born at the wrong time. They had all successfully refined a domain and become Sages. Naturally, they could no longer participate in the competition for the strongest Sages in this special area.
However, Chen Yuan and Cheng Riyou’s hearts stirred. They felt that if they could let people under their faction refine this powerful area and become the strongest Sage, their faction would undoubtedly obtain a huge increase!
Especially when it came to Cheng Riyou. The expectations in his heart were the strongest. Previously, Rong Sufei’s failure had already caused their martial pavilion to fall behind the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in terms of the number of Sages.
If their martial pavilion could refine this special area this time and create the strongest Sage, they could take back all their previous failures at once.
Not only that, this was not an ordinary Sage, but the strongest Sage. It could almost be regarded as half a Daolord. This made Cheng Riyou’s heart burn with passion.
“Apart from our Great Wu Empire, the three great domains will also participate this time. You have to know that this special area was created by the Martial Emperor and belongs to our Great Wu Empire. No matter what, we can’t let this special area fall into the hands of the three Heavenly Kings!” The Prince said in a low voice.
They all nodded. They knew the importance of this special area. Because every Sage area only had one slot to enter this special area, therefore, the prince asked these Sages to be careful in their choice of personnel.
Other than that, the prince had another more important purpose in informing these Sages.
“The way to fight for this special area is no different from refining it. Although we don’t know what exists in this special area and how to refine it, we can be sure that this special area is a unique and powerful area. It will definitely be even more difficult to refine it than ordinary areas.
“In particular, we have to compete with those from the three great domains. So, in order to prevent this area from falling into the hands of the three Heavenly Kings, 1 think we have to take more precautions this time!
“The so-called ‘precaution’ is to choose the person with the highest chance of obtaining this special area from everyone who enters this special area. The others will do their best to assist and ensure that this person can refine this special area.”
As soon as the prince finished speaking, many people immediately frowned. According to the plan of the prince, most of the people who entered it were mere foils from the very beginning. To these people, they might not be willing. After all, this special area was so attractive to all Martial Demon Realm cultivators that it was enough to make them go crazy.
If not for the fact that Sages could not cultivate again, perhaps some of these Sages would choose to re-cultivate and fight for this special area. The more he knew about Sages, the more he knew how valuable this area was. No one was willing to give up such an opportunity.
However, from the standpoint of the Great Wu Empire, indeed, the method proposed by the prince was the method with the highest chance of success. If all the martial artists who entered were to be in a state of disunity, the Great Wu Empire might not be able to seize this area.
“I will reward everyone who assists according to their contribution.” The Prince said in a low voice. His words had no intention of discussing with everyone. He simply told everyone. He wanted everyone to choose according to the requirements he had set. “You have three days to choose your people. After choosing, 1 will choose the most outstanding person among the people you have chosen who has the highest chance of refining this special area. As the candidate for refining this time, the rest will do their best to assist.”
The prince was not worried that the three domains would enter the special area before them. Through the information provided by the royal guards, he learned that to enter this special area, one had to be selected from all the areas and enter at the same time. As long as there was one less area, no one else could enter. Therefore, there would definitely not be a situation where someone entered early.
As for the areas in the Imperial Domain that had not been refined, the prince would choose the candidates. Before this, he had already made an agreement with the other three Heavenly Kings. Three days later, they would let these selected people enter this special area together.
That day, the Sages rushed back to their domains. They began to select people in their respective fields. After Xiang Zizhen returned to the Nandou Domain, he found Xiao Shi immediately. He told Xiao Shi about this in detail.
Previously, Xiao Shi had also noticed the huge land that had appeared in the sky. However, he did not know that this huge land was actually formed by many regions of the Great Wu Empire. Now that he knew that this huge land was actually a special area created by the Martial Emperor, Xiao Shi was also tempted.
At this moment, he was worried that he would not have an area to refine next. The area that appeared at this moment could resolve his situation. Most importantly, this area was different from ordinary areas. As long as he refined it, he had hope of becoming the strongest Sage.
This was extremely important to Xiao Shi. After all, he had always pursued the strongest in all realms. Only by becoming the strongest in every realm could he wear the Emperor Set. The Sage Realm after that was naturally no exception. However, with his current cultivation progress, it was not time for him to break through to the Sage Realm. He had not even entered the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm.
It was a little too early to refine and compete. However, through Xiang Zizhen’s explanation, Xiao Shi knew that if he did not go now, he would definitely not have such a chance in the future.
“My intention is also to choose you to go, but it’s impossible for the prince to choose you as the candidate to refine. At that time, you can only assist.” Xiang Zizhen said what he was worried about. He naturally hoped that Xiao Shi could refine this special area and become the strongest Sage.
However, with the grudge he had with the prince, even if Xiao Shi’s conditions were the best candidate to refine this special area, the prince would definitely not choose someone from his area.
If he only went over to assist, in Xiang Zizhen’s opinion, there was no need to go. Even if those who assisted would be rewarded by the prince, Xiang Zizhen, who had experienced how the prince treated his meritorious officials, did not think that the prince would give him any especially good rewards.
Xiao Shi also realized this problem. Actually, even if there was no conflict between Xiang Zizhen and the prince, with Xiao Shi’s style of doing things, it was impossible for him to show his true strength in front of the prince. It was naturally impossible for him to be the best candidate to refine this special area.
“Then 1 can only fight for it myself after I go over and not assist,” Xiao Shi pondered. Although such an action would disobey the prince again, to Xiao Shi, who had already decided not to be loyal to the Great Wu Empire, he had no obligation to listen to the arrangements of the Great Wu Empire.
No matter how much contribution he made to the Great Wu Empire, it could not compare to the power of the prince himself. Why should he pledge his loyalty to such a Great Wu Empire?
“I’m not worried that you will disobey the prince. In any case, we’ve already disobeyed once, so we’re not afraid of a second time. What I’m worried about is that the prince will use some methods to prevent you from not going to help.” Xiang Zizhen said in a low voice. After all, in front of such a huge opportunity, he did not believe that anyone was really willing to assist others.
Even if the prince would give them benefits, no matter how great the benefits were, could they be greater than this special area that could make people the strongest sage? The Imperial Prince must know this as well.
Since he could make such a decision, he most likely had some powerful backup plan that could make these people who entered unable to disobey his arrangements..
