Li City was in an uproar due to the fundraising, causing turmoil in various departnts of the Dynasty, with officials wailing about poverty, yet there was one place entirely untouched by the commotion.
Located to the north of Li City, there stood a towering edifice with 36 floors. The base of the tower spanned a vast area, reaching a height of 480 ters. To avoid surpassing the royal majesty, it was only slightly shorter than the tallest building in the Imperial City, making it the second tallest structure in Li City.
This place was precisely the headquarters of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt.
"Eldest Princess, we have arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Departnt."
At this mont, at the entrance of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, a team of Royal Guards was escorting a carriage to the location.
When the carriage ca to a halt, a woman alighted from it.
She was tall and graceful, with skin as fair as snow and black hair cascading like a waterfall down to her waist. She wore a set of golden mysterious scale battle armor, fitting snugly against her curvaceous figure.
At the entrance of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, many cultivators ca and went. Many were involuntarily captivated by the sight of the woman.
Her extraordinarily beautiful face was unlike the alluring charm of ordinary won. Her eyebrows were like swords, sharp yet not lacking in elegance, adding a touch of heroism to her visage.
"Master Zhang!"
These cultivators of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, upon seeing the woman, all half-knelt on the ground in salutation.
For the person who arrived was a treasured gem of the Da Li Royal Family, the Eldest Princess Wei Yushuang, of incomparable nobility.
Of course, if it were rely her royal status, they would salute but not so reverently.
This was because Wei Yushuang was not only the Eldest Princess but also possessed the Heavenly Star True Phoenix Divine Body, her talent comparable to that of an ancient goddess. At the re age of twenty, she had broken through to the Taoist Platform Realm, achieving brilliant victories against her peers, defeating nurous prodigies, and was recognized universally as having the makings of a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.
Wei Yushuang nodded slightly and then walked into the Heavenly Patrol Departnt.
After Wei Yushuang’s departure, many cultivators of the Heavenly Patrol began discussing amongst themselves.
"The Eldest Princess is truly beautiful! I wonder who will be lucky enough to beco the Prince Consort in the future."
"Not only is she of noble status, but she’s also exceptionally powerful, with impeccable conduct, often aiding those in poverty. It’s even said that after the invasion by the Divine Eagle Empire, she personally went to the northern battlefield, slaying over ten thousand enemies, fiercely crushing the arrogance of the Divine Eagle Empire."
"What a pity such a noble person like the Eldest Princess is burdened with a grandfather like that. Have you all heard about the royal father-in-law, Cai Fangyi?"
"Who hasn’t? He even embezzles money from selling his own daughter’s jewelry. It’s outrageous."
"Right, it’s well known in Li City how wealthy the royal father-in-law is, possessing assets worth at least hundreds of millions, yet he’s stingier than a miser."
Even though their voices were lowered, their words still reached Wei Yushuang’s ears.
Her jade-like face darkened slightly. Thinking of her own mother, the Empress, who couldn’t eat or sleep well because of the fundraising issue, she felt a grudge against her grandfather.
Though her mother was the Empress of the Da Li Dynasty, she was always frugal. Knowing that the Royal Family was going through hard tis, she took the initiative to lead palace maids and concubines to embroider and sell crafts, supplenting the Royal Family’s daily needs, gaining a reputation as a virtuous lady among the people.
Yet, the Empress, who had led a life of integrity and frugality, was now utterly worn down by her own father’s actions.
With a cold expression, Wei Yushuang exuded an aura that warned others to keep their distance. Cultivators of the Heavenly Patrol along her path held their breath, not daring to speak loudly, fearing to offend Wei Yushuang, who was clearly in a bad mood.
Wei Yushuang proceeded forward, inquiring with the higher-ups of the Heavenly Patrol, before reaching the top of the tower and entering a spacious observatory.
The do here was transparent, covered with Nine Layers of Glass, the entire observatory imrsed in a blue luminescence.
The floor was a massive Eight Diagram Array, with a giant Ancient Bronze Bell placed at its center, surrounded by eight dragon-pattern lamps, atop which blossod sacred red lotus flas.
The Ancient Bronze Bell was a special Spiritual Treasure, and the most precious item in the observatory.
Inside the observatory, there was only one man in a black brocade robe.
His hair was slightly grayed, leaving his exact age indeterminate, as he gazed upwards at the stars, his eyes profound and bright.
"Greetings, Master Zhang!"
Wei Yushuang approached and courteously saluted from afar.
With her status, there were few in the world worthy of such mannerly treatnt, and the person before her was certainly one.
Because this was Master Zhang Qingcang, the Director of the Heavenly Patrol, renowned throughout the world, a Great Power of the Purple Mansion Realm, acclaid as the top master of the Da Li Dynasty. Not only was he the stabilizer of the Heavenly Patrol, but also a pillar of the Da Li Dynasty.
The Da Li Dynasty’s present stability was not unrelated to him.
"Between you and , there’s no need for such formality. Tell , why have you co to see ?"
Zhang Qingcang turned, his gaze kindly. He had watched Wei Yushuang grow up from a young age, having taught her for a period during her youth, familiar with her nature.
"I can’t hide anything from you, Uncle Zhang!"
Wei Yushuang stepped forward two paces, then spoke. "Uncle Zhang, I wish to learn the Dragon Capturing Skill. Please teach ."
"Dragon Capturing Skill! You plan to break through to the Purple Mansion?"
Zhang Qingcang mused, looking at Wei Yushuang for a few more monts, then said, "With your foundation, accumulating for two more years using the ’Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture’ would make breaking through to the Purple Mansion more secure without taking such risks."
The offspring of the Da Li Royal Family all practiced the Cultivation Technique ’Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture.’ This technique, created by the founding Great Emperor of the Cave Void Realm, cultivates by utilizing the Dragon Vein and Imperial Dynasty Fortune. It’s exceedingly domineering, reputed to be invincible within the sa level.
However, due to the excessive dominance, the difficulty of cultivating the ’Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture’ is high. Although many royal offspring practice it, few truly achieve significant accomplishnts.
