[Special Event — The Crown Prince’s Madness]
[After discovering that Zhao Wan turned out to be a man, Crown Prince Sheng wallowed in a foggy daze for months on end.
Refusing to face the reality of Zhao Wan’s true gender and demise, he has plunged into insanity.
The Human Emperor rages in anger; he plans to remove the Crown Prince from his position and select a fresh heir.]
"Sadly, His Majesty the Human Emperor’s days are nearing their close. The Crown Prince has shown himself incapable of shouldering the weight, and who might claim the throne moving forward remains a mystery.
With the Li Clan now serving as the Guardian of the Southern Border, the Lord Grand Preceptor feels it wise to consult the Li family’s views on choosing a new Crown Prince."
Lord Hu wore a look of deep respect.
Rumors spread far that he held a special place as the Lord Grand Preceptor’s trusted ally.
Still, everyone in the royal court knew the Azure Dynasty’s sole real darling was the Li clan, stationed far off in the south.
Down in the Southern Border, the Li clan stood like a mighty pillar upholding the skies.
They held back the Divine Bird Totem and Moon Dragon Totem—those two groups nearest the southern edge—from pushing forward by even the tiniest step.
This kept the dynasty safe from the nightmare of a Wu clan assault hitting both the southeast and south at once.
Plus, once every decade, the Li clan dispatched hordes of cultivators straight to the battlefront.
The Hall of Heavenly Principle Jade Division outlets and the Li Chamber of Commerce right in the Imperial Capital poured in huge streams of taxes to the Azure Dynasty, right through these turbulent war times.
After the Li clan wiped out a Hidden World force boasting a legacy of one hundred and sixty thousand years, showing off their frightening battle strength, they turned into a vital pillar for the Azure Dynasty.
"Nominate the Crown Prince?"
...
Beads of sweat soaked into the earth under the growing plants.
Young Master Fei Heng, with a faded white cloth slung across his shoulder, lifted his gaze to observe the Li clan cultivators bustling about.
He dabbed the perspiration from his brow using the towel, a subtle grin creeping onto his features.
"Even the Immortal Zhao Clan crumbled before the Li clan. What an impressive feat.
Who claims those arriving later can’t surge ahead?
At last... I feel ready to step back into the Royal Court."
For almost three hundred years, he had toiled away at the Li family’s farmlands!
He brimmed with endless thanks toward the Li clan now.
Throughout these years, tales of the deadly schemes swirling in the Imperial Capital’s court had trickled to him nonstop.
Even Crown Prince Sheng had lost his mind.
Had he claimed the Crown Prince role back then, his end might have turned out far worse than Sheng’s.
Yet today?
Crown Prince Sheng had already stumbled down countless misguided roads in his place!
Across these three hundred years, the chaos inside and beyond the court had grown ever sharper in focus.
At this point, he felt bold enough to chase after the throne!
...
Moments drifted by unhurriedly.
The Li family folks caught wind of the Crown Prince’s downfall too, but they barely spared it a thought.
Truth be told, whether Young Master Fei Heng made his way back to the Imperial Capital held little weight.
Sure, it’d be fine if he snagged the Crown Prince spot; after all, Young Master Fei had trained under the Li family for nearly three hundred years, so he’d end up helping the clan in the long run.
But should he miss out on rising to that rank, no big loss—the Li Yuanshang and Li Xinjue had quietly nurtured their own lines of royal blood in secret.
On top of that, Prince Yu had kept up quiet ties with the family the whole time.
In the last two hundred years, the White Qilin dropped by scores of times, and hushed deals for resources happened plenty.
But this specific day brought pure joy sweeping over all of Azure Cloud Prefecture.
"Hahaha! We found it! We found it!"
Feng Chunlin burst from the Immortal Domain Grotto-Heaven, streaking toward Azure Cloud Prefecture like a wild soul, trailed by swelling numbers of cultivators.
Before long, shouts of "We found it" echoed across the whole Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Cultivators dropped to their knees amid the prefecture’s ice and snow, scooping up clumps of yellow soil unearthed from under the deep drifts, tears pouring down their cheeks.
As Feng Chunlin reached the Azure Cloud Region, staring out at the snow-blanketed landscape where flakes swirled without cease, he planted himself on the soil he’d defended all his days, weeping and laughing together.
"The folk of my Azure Cloud Region won’t endure the harsh bite of wind and snow anymore.
More than two hundred years... the calamity of endless snow for over two hundred years has finally lifted!!!"
"No matter how much blood we spilled, it was worth every drop... It was all worth it..."
Li Wei had only heard the update from the Azure Cloud Region: that guy Feng Chunlin had shattered into the Divinity Transformation realm.
Likely, his heart and mind had achieved a profound realization.
[Vitality-Restoring Solar Cycle Formation]
[Draws on a towering structure to draw in human vitality, thus mending the rhythm of the four seasons across heaven and earth.]
That explained why the four seasons held steady inside the Immortal Domain, despite the raging disasters.
Yet this balance came at the steep price of human Qi-Destiny.
Once the high tower brimmed with human Qi-Destiny, it fueled the core of the formation.
And the Qi-Destiny the Zhao clan had snatched away over the years wound up serving a noble purpose in the end.
"This relentless snowfall, dragging on for almost two hundred years, is at long last fading away."
For whatever reason, Li Wei’s spirits soared high.
During these years, he had seen firsthand the struggles of ordinary people.
Each time the blizzards hit, folks would peel the bark off trees by the roads just to eat, huddling for survival beneath the protection of cultivators.
For Azure Cloud’s people, this formation might stand as their biggest reward.
No matter the rivers of blood poured out, it proved worthwhile; this deed piled up boundless merit, blessing ages yet to come.
[Congratulations. Your family has brought an end to the wind and snow tormenting Azure Cloud Prefecture for nearly two hundred years.
You have earned the deep thanks from every soul in Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Family Reputation has risen. Merit knows no bounds.]
[Obtained Family Will:..]
"I..."
Li Wei gaped at the flood of Family Will pouring back—gathered through the tireless loop of death and rebirth into the mortal world to clash with the Zhao clan patriarch.
He froze in shock for an instant.
"I’m rich again."
