In the Twin Mountains, the mountains were very tall, and the meridians were very long. They covered the inside and outside of the pass, stopping all the non-humankind beings in the wilderness outside. However, aside from the five main peaks, which looked like the fingers of gods, there were still many loopholes that could allow a small army of non-humankind to take advantage of this situation.

In the highest region between the five main peaks of the Two Realms Mountain, a giant palace had already been built. There were pavilions, gardens, and even a waterfall that flowed in the sky from afar, gently pouring down and letting out the sound of clear spring water. Under the reflection of the sunlight, it formed a rainbow that flickered with seven colors.

On the way to the palace, Hong Yu met a few familiar faces. There were many other princes, including Second Brother, Third Brother, Seventh Brother, and Thirty-Five … Even when he saw Li Muyue, he was led by a eunuch to meet her.

Li Muyue glanced at him without revealing anything, but did not come over to chat. The rest of them just stared straight ahead, solemn and respectful, not daring to make a sound.

In addition, there were also civil officials and military generals. A few ministers also followed the path into the palace from both sides.

Within the palace, even if one was a first rank official, the three officials or even the twelve generals could not follow the palace path which led directly to the palace gates. They could only enter through the side path.

Only the prince could walk on the path of the palace. This was the etiquette of the palace, and no one dared to act rashly, but Li Muyue followed among the princes like a crane amongst a flock of chickens. This was a very eye-catching honor bestowed by Emperor Hongwu, and on the one hand, he also leaked the news to the imperial court that the Emperor viewed Li Muyue as his own son and daughter.

The palace was deep, and there were many pavilions and courtyards, which were divided into countless smaller districts. It was unknown how long they walked for as they passed through countless red walls and yellow tiles. It was late in the morning when the princes and officials finally arrived outside the main hall.

"Your highness, wait quietly here. The Emperor will naturally summon you." The eunuchs' sharp unique voices resounded throughout the entire palace, causing the princes to halt in their tracks. However, a eunuch specially entered the main hall to report this.

Hong Yu was also mixed within the prince's team, but he took the opportunity to observe the cultivation of many of his brothers: "Second Brother's cultivation level is too high, it's hard to fathom, and too deep to fathom. Hm? To think that even though Li Muyue had hidden herself so deeply, even I couldn't see through it? It seemed like he had been stuck in this realm for a long time, and his strongest point was that he was now 35. Yet, he had already cultivated up to the third level of the Divine Stash, the Elephant Qi State, and his Astral Qi could be multiplied countless times. He was one realm higher than me, and his speed was so fast? Old Eighteen … Old Eighteen's cultivation seemed to be at the seventh level of the Divine Treasure realm. True fire refined the brain, and his astral energy was entangled with the soul. Could he activate a soul storm? This kind of cultivation is indeed strong and far surpasses me, but it's not much compared to those old princes like Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Could it be that he's really hiding his cultivation? "

He was a man with a deep and eccentric personality, he had never formed his own cliques, and had only listened to the orders of the Hongwu Emperor. In the eyes of many people, people did not think highly of him, and felt that he was someone who would rather be alone than be a servant, although he was not simple, he did not have much potential, and the chances of him taking the throne were even more slim.

Moreover, Old Eighteen was the eldest son of the empress, and his status was not something to be trifled with. He was far from the status that a concubine like Hong Yu could compare with, and in these past few years, even the empress's command of the harem had obtained the support of many people. There was no lack of aristocratic families amongst them, as they continuously provided resources for the eighteenth prince and helped him build up his cultivation.

Other than Li Muyue, this man was the first prince of the imperial family that the Hongwu Emperor had passed down the [Octoterra Divine Dragon Scripture].

Even the Buddhist Giant and the Clay Buddha rated him as' having some skills'. As for the First Prince Hong Qi Tian, the Second Prince Hong Fu Tian, the Crown Prince Hong Tai Yi and the Fourth Elder, they said they were ordinary people.

The Clay Buddha was a Giant that had been able to fight against the Barbarian King for decades. Now, it had even become a buddhist Bodhisattva. People who could be comparable to saints in the ancient times were already at the peak of the strong.

He thought back to the time when he killed Thirteenth Prince Hong Huan Jian. The words he heard said that Old Eighteen was a Hidden Dragon and a Hidden Dragon. In the future, he would be the only one capable of inheriting the throne and taking the throne from the people of the crown prince … His mood immediately turned heavy!

The Hongtian Symbol was strong, but it was at most at the seventh or eighth stage. In the prince's group, they could just barely be considered as the second tier of candidates. The strongest, the first tier, was still the crown prince, the boss, the second tier, the third tier, and even the eighth tier … These people were truly unfathomable. They were geniuses that could rival a thousand-year-old antique figure. However, under such a situation, how could the Hongtian Talisman receive such a favourable evaluation from the Clay Buddha? Even if he did, he would not be able to figure it out.

Of course, he was also thinking too much. Compared to the Hongtian Symbol, he could not even be considered as the second tier. At most, he could only be considered as a candidate from the third tier and was slightly more talented.

The road he had to walk was too far, too long …

"The emperor has an oracle." Hong Yu pondered for more than two hours. The sun had also risen in intensity as Zhao Gaochang, the general director of the imperial palace, walked out. "Duke Chuyu, please speak first."

Swish!

Many princes and officials had turned their attention to Hong Yu, and in an instant, he had become the focus of the crowd. Many princes and officials had cast their eyes on Hong Yu, and in an instant, he had become the focus of everyone, and he had received tens of thousands of gazes.

Even if the crown prince had not accompanied them and had instead stayed behind to watch over the capital city, the second, seventh, and even the eighteenth princes were all older than Hong Yu …

Many of the princes had guessed that the Hongwu Emperor would be the first to summon Li Muyue as a show of kindness, but they never expected that the Hongwu Emperor would be the first to summon Hong Yu.

Thinking back to how Emperor Hongwu had personally bestowed him a scroll, everyone immediately came to a realization. Most likely, the thirty-sixth prince, Duke Yu, was going to be favored out this time.

Hong Yu was also surprised in his heart, but he did not think too much about it. He only felt that it was fortunate that he had presented the legacy magic pill as a token of filial piety, which was why he changed the offer: "Looks like the legacy pill of the Demonic Master was not bad. Even if the other brothers obtained this treasure, they would only hide it away, afraid that others would covet it. "Within my feudal fiefdom, the auction is about to start. When the time comes, I'll need this Magic Pill passed down by the Demon Grandmaster as the main item to be auctioned off. I wonder how is the preparations for the Wash Elephant Servant and Fatty An?"

For a time, his heart had drifted several thousand miles away to his sealed land. In a trance, he followed Chief Eunuch Zhao Gao into the grand hall.

The great hall was newly built, and many of the furnishings had yet to be fully assembled, making it seem somewhat empty. The Great Celestial Emperor Hong Po Ji sat behind a desk in the center of the hall, reviewing the memorial.

Hong Yu fell into a trance and the atmosphere fell into silence. The eunuch, Zhao Gao, promptly coughed to wake Hong Yu up while he himself tiptoed out like a ghost and closed the door.

Hong Yu jumped in fright. When he regained his senses and thought of where he was, he hurriedly crawled down and said, "Your son greets royal father."

His heart was thumping, he did not know how he would face this seemingly familiar but in fact, incomparably strange father of his, the Great Celestial Emperor Hong Wu, alone in this world.

The Celestial Emperor Hongwu did not reply. He was silent and he did not even raise his head. This made Hong Yu even more perturbed. He already knew from the Clay Buddha just how terrifying the existence of his royal father was.

Even the Clay Buddha had a superpower that was similar to his own. It could easily overcome the many thoughts in his head, let alone this number one person in history. In front of this sort of expert, he was simply no different from an ant. He was like an ant in front of this kind of expert.

"Can royal father see the Forbidding Wars Rune in my body? "What if I am found out and am telling the truth, or am I trying to hide it?" Hong Yu struggled in his heart. He felt that it was difficult to say the biggest secret on his body. The existence of the 'Forbidden Spell', it was highly likely that it would be discovered by the Hongwu Emperor. One must know that the Emperor was a person that even the heavens feared …

Even the heavens feared him. If he wanted the Sky Execution, he had to wait patiently until the time was ripe …

"Get up, don't be afraid, I won't be bored enough to spy on your secrets." After a long time, the Celestial Emperor finally raised his head and broke the deadlock, "I've seen it before. I have more than you can imagine. The things that you think are important are not worth mentioning in my eyes …"

Hong Yu stood up and his heart skipped a beat. He felt that there was a hidden meaning behind those words, but before he could carefully ponder them, Emperor Hong Wu's following words almost scared him to the point of kneeling down.

This kind of pressure was incomparably huge. Being accompanied by a monarch was like being accompanied by a tiger. If one did not experience it personally, one would never know how terrifying it was.

"You've met the Clay Buddha?" Emperor Hong Wu asked.
