“What other mission? The system, I need more information!”
[You have unlocked the Turning Mission – which can level you up. Upon completion of the mission, the host can get higher-level powers, allowing you to buy additional features in the store!] – The system responded.
“System, you mean. One Strike, Absolute Defense, and Instant Teleportation are NOT the strongest abilities?!”
This thought struck Xia Yan. If these abilities were not the strongest, then what were they?
[Yes, master. There is a level above the highest, known as the Absolute. This level will become available when the master completes the Turning Mission!”- Said the system, confirming his suspicions.
A series of symbols quickly unfolded before him.
[Turning Mission: The Celestial Wolf Alliance was planning to invade and take over the Tang Kingdom. But with Xia coming their way, the Alliance temporarily shifted its attention to the small kingdom. For 99 days, the host must successfully keep Xia from falling into enemy hands]. [Penalty for Failure: The mission will fail if the invading forces break into Xia’s imperial palace. Warning number two, failure means death!] [Reward for Completion: The Absolute level in the Supreme Unlimited Store will be unlocked, allowing the master to acquire Absolute level abilities. The system will also allow the master to try his luck!]
“Invasion of the Heavenly Wolf Alliance!”
Xia Yan’s heart trembled. Years ago, a great kingdom even more powerful than the Tang had united all the small kingdoms surrounding it to form the greatest kingdom. It was for this reason that the Tang tried to unite with the Xia through marriage. They tried to form their alliance(alliance).
“The Alliance of Heavenly Wolves has been silent since its formation. But they began to build up their forces at the same time that Tang was trying to create an alliance. Their goal is clear…”
A general picture formed in Xia Yan’s mind.
The birth of the alliance, however insignificant, meant the emergence of another powerful competitor. To prevent Tan from succeeding, the Heavenly Wolf Alliance believed that taking the great kingdom by storm was the best course of action. This included conquering all the kingdoms that Tan wanted to conquer. Xia was their first target because the small kingdom did not have the national or military power to fight back. If the Heavenly Wolf Alliance sent troops now, Xia would fall within a day.
Xia Yan frowned upon hearing this sad but cruel truth.
– Xia Yang! – Said the Xia Emperor, bringing him back to reality. – Have you thought about what kind of reward you would like to receive?
– Father Emperor, your humble son wants the city of the Northern Wasteland! – He answered with burning eyes.
– Northern Wasteland City?”
Emperor Xia’s face flashed with surprise.
– You know where the city of Northern Wasteland is, don’t you?
– Yes, Father Emperor. Your humble son knows. Vicious cultivators are exiled there and it is the most barren land of our Xia Kingdom! – Xia Yang nodded slightly.
– And are you sure you want to take our most barren land into your possession? – Emperor Xia insisted. He hoped that his son would inherit his richest, most fertile city. But for some reason, Xia Yang wanted to rule the worst of the land, which surprised him and everyone else in the hall.
To choose the worst of the best. What was he thinking?
Most of them were perplexed, trying to figure out what he meant by that, and they had no idea that Xia Yang originally wanted to ask for spiritual stones, treasures, divine weapons, and all that sort of thing that he could use to buy things from the system store. But the advent of the Turning Point Mission forced him to change his request for a reward.
He had 99 days to prepare for what was to come. And while three months seemed like a very long time to him, it wasn’t, especially since he had to get to the realm of Minor Extremity in that time frame. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the qualifications to challenge the King of the Celestial Wolf Kingdom. Not even a system store would have been able to help him do that. It was for this reason that he needed a place where he could release his Devouring Area, and at the moment he could think of no better place to begin his insatiable grand feast than in a city populated by the most cultivators.
– I have no doubt, Father Emperor. Your humble son wants the city of the Northern Wasteland! – Xia Yang finally nodded affirmatively.
– Good. Then from now on, the city of Northern Wasteland is yours!”

The Xia Emperor waved his hand, and the court eunuch moved forward, respectfully placing the Golden Token in Xia Yan’s hands. It was the feudal lord’s order. With it, he now controlled the entire city of Northern Wasteland.
– Thank you very much, Father Emperor!
Xia Yang bowed and set aside the order.
For his own sake, he decided not to make light of the coming invasion. It was clear to him that telling the truth was one thing and believing it was quite another. He did not doubt that his words about Xia’s life and death would only provoke unnecessary trouble. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t think his information would make much difference in the overall picture of events. Xia would only have two options anyway: run away or seek help from Tang. And he was skeptical of the second option. Once a general war broke out, Tang would be too busy with his problems to worry about them.
To overcome this crisis, he could only count on himself. He had to become strong enough to stand up to the mighty army of the Heavenly Wolf Alliance on his own!
– Okay, now that we’re done with all the business, let the feast continue!
Emperor Xia clapped his hands, and the surrounding soldiers quickly cleared out and left the main hall. As soon as they left, the air was once again filled with the song of voices and instruments.
However, this little interlude had already reversed its original trend.
What should have been the main stage of the twelve imperial princes now belonged to Xia Yan. His victory in battle overshadowed the halos that once surrounded his younger brothers. All eyes were fixed on him, the emperor’s eldest son, this young man, brimming with natural talent, betrothed to Princess Tang, the future Xia Emperor.
At this moment, Xia Yang was the most remarkable being in the entire palace, a rising star coveted by all.
