Thus, one could see that in the heavily defended Haojing Imperial Palace, there was a person riding a horse and galloping about, and the scenery was boundless.
When all the imperial guards saw Xiang Nan, they stopped and waited for Xiang Nan to pass before resuming normal patrols.
At this moment, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were entertaining the emissaries of the Nine Firmaments Imperial Clan, that is, the twelfth prince who was rescued by Xiang Nan.
Many famous elders also came from the Martial Arts Sect, including those from the Haoran Sect and the Royal College . They came to accompany them because not only the Haotian Imperial Clan, but also the messengers from the The Profound Sky Sect .
Xiang Nan didn't want to join the fun, so he went to the sixth prince's study and waited.
Not long after, the Sixth Prince pushed open the door and entered. He opened his arms and laughed loudly, "My Young Master Xiang has finally returned."
The sixth prince was already incomparably close to Xiang Nan. He gave Xiang Nan a big bear hug on the spot and said happily, "I have already heard about what you did in the Nine Firmaments. You really have done many miraculous deeds for our The Haotian Empire !"
"Good boy!"
Xiang Nan respectfully took half a step back and cupped his fists. "It was thanks to the painstaking cultivation of the Sixth Prince that Xiang Nan came to this day."
The Sixth Prince nodded in approval, "I'm going to make you the Crown Prince's Crown Prince!"
Xiang Nan's heart sank and he hurriedly said, "This … Forgive me for not obeying my orders."
Xiang Nan clearly regarded himself as a disciple because he wanted to remind himself of his sect identity, not his official identity.
The Sixth Prince frowned and said, "What, do you think that the official is small? Although the Crown Prince and Crown Prince do not have military power, his grade is still not low."
"In the non-war era, no one has ever ascended to the heavens like you. You are an Extreme Mortal Official."
The Crown Prince and Crown Prince were not joking. This kind of official position was enough for Xiang Nan to walk around the entire The Haotian Empire . Every state official had to kneel down when they saw Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan hurriedly said, "Although this disciple was lucky enough to make a contribution, this disciple knows how many kilograms he has. I'm afraid he'll be embarrassed."
"Besides, this disciple is just a vulgar martial artist and is not proficient in politics. I hope that His Highness the Prince will take back his orders." "What's more, this disciple is just a vulgar martial artist. He is not proficient in politics."
The sixth prince smiled, but his heart was already cold.
He sat on the chair and said meaningfully, "You can not be the official position of this Grand Tutor, but you must hang this title for me. Otherwise, my Haojing will be filled with civil and martial arts and will be disappointed with my Haotian Imperial Clan."
"You don't need to reward me for my outstanding achievements? This is no longer a question of whether you want it or not."
Xiang Nan was helpless and could only say, "If the Sixth Prince insists on becoming an official, then the disciple can only follow in the name of Xiang Ru, while Xiang Nan is still a disciple of the Haoran Sect and an ordinary martial artist."
"Yes." The Sixth Prince nodded, "It's settled. I will pass down the order tomorrow morning and announce it to the world. I will confer the title of Crown Prince Xiang Ru as the Crown Prince's Crown Prince."
"This is what I promised you."
The sixth prince handed Xiang Nan a long wooden box.
Xiang Nan pulled out the wooden box with both hands and found a sheepskin scroll lying inside.
"This is the map of the Divine Lightning." The Sixth Prince said, "This map was obtained twenty years ago. It was only because of my Haotian scout that I accidentally saw traces of divine lightning in the outside world and drew it down."
"As for whether the divine lightning is still here twenty years later, and what kind of divine lightning it is, I don't know."
"If it weren't for the long journey, I would really like to explore it myself."
"Thank you for your reward, Your Highness." Xiang Nan was overjoyed and said, "This disciple will immediately set off to prepare for the sect ranking tournament."
"You're not even attending the state banquet?" The Sixth Prince was slightly disappointed and said, "You are the number one contributor this time. If you don't come, it would be a bit hard to explain."
Xiang Nan cupped his fists and said, "The first-class hero is His Highness the Ninth Princess. This disciple does not dare to claim credit."
"I really can't keep you two, can I?" The Sixth Prince sighed and said, "If Xiang Ru assists us, there is no need for our Haotian Imperial Clan to be unhappy."
"There are many Xiang Confucians in this world, but Xiang Nan only has one." Xiang Nan knelt down on one knee to the sixth prince and left.
The Sixth Prince was at a loss as he sighed, "How many people in this world have squeezed their heads open, desperately trying to get a job?"
"I've never seen anyone who doesn't want a high official, fame, wealth, or status."
"Mr. Wu Chen, what else can I give him? As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to him! But he doesn't want anything. How can I keep his heart?"
A figure gradually condensed around the Sixth Prince. That person smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to stay. He is already one of yours."
"Everything Xiang Nan did was directed towards Haotian, wasn't it?"
"This kind of person, even if you don't give him any official position, he will still be loyal to the country. Perhaps the Blue sky in his heart isn't confined to the sky above the Imperial Palace, but the entire The Haotian Empire ."
"I was afraid that someone would snatch him away." The Sixth Prince sighed.
Mr. Wu Chen smiled and said, "If he could be snatched away, he wouldn't come back this time. It would be better if he stayed in the Nine Firmaments."
Outside Haojing, Xiang Nan unfolded a map and searched for traces of the divine lightning.
This time, he did not visit the Ninth Princess. He did not like the sadness of leaving.
"This divine lightning actually haunts the remote and harsh Northern Domain." Xiang Nan frowned and pondered.
There were still more than two months before the Sect Qualifying Tournament, and this trip to the Northern Region would be a long journey. After finding the Divine Lightning, there was probably no need to return. It was fine to head straight to the The Nine Firmaments Continent .
Because this time, the alliance between the The Nine Firmaments Empire and the The Haotian Empire , Xiang Nan did not need to be afraid that the The Profound Sky Sect would secretly kill him. Instead, he directly stepped onto the direct teleportation array between the The Nine Firmaments Empire and the The Haotian Empire and appeared on the The Nine Firmaments Continent plate.
Using the The Nine Firmaments Continent as a transit point, they continued to teleport northward and smoothly arrived at a place called the Black Cloud Continent in the Northern Region.
Following that, he would use the Black Cloud Continent as a springboard to continue northward.
The Northern Region was famous for its harsh climate and strong folk customs.
In just one Southern Domain, there was an endless expanse of land that covered more than a hundred continents.
The entire Northern Domain was even larger than the Southern Domain!
Not only were there many human experts here, there were also 120,000 years ago when large numbers of demons migrated here, causing the Northern Domain to be an extremely messy place with mixed forces.
However, there were also benefits. That was because Xiang Nan didn't come here to compete with others for something. He was here to explore the boundless snowy region to find the whereabouts of the World Slaying Divine Lightning. There shouldn't be any conflicts between him and others.
Destination, Beiyang Continent.
'"Hu" Xiang Nan was wearing a thick turtle coat as he walked through the boundless snowy plains.
Looking around, there was snow everywhere, and no boundaries could be seen.
In this pure white world, people would feel a strong sense of loneliness.
Xiang Nan wrapped his collar and exhaled. The haha immediately turned into white frost and fell vertically.
"It only took half a month to travel. There are only two months left before it starts." Xiang Nan rubbed his paralyzed face and unfolded the map.
With his strength at the Heaven Origin Realm, he was frozen here to the point of being choked with cold. It could be seen how shocking the temperature here was.
The vast majority of the species known in the world could not survive for more than a minute in this kind of place! There were even many demonic beast species that weren't from the cold zone that couldn't survive here.
Xiang Nan took out a deer leg and before he could eat it, it quickly turned into ice. He bit it down and creaked.
Xiang Nan shook his head and wrapped his coat a little tighter. He walked away step by step on the snowy plains.
At this moment, the wind was blowing, and the cold north wind in the sky was as sharp as a wind blade. Even Xiang Nan did not dare to take off easily.
