Wang Ruoxie naturally understood why Tang Liren wanted to exchange positions with him; during the Hidden Dragon Assembly, this guy had already set his sights on Xiao Ningyue.

Perhaps if it were someone else, even if they were stronger than Tang Liren, they might not dare to refuse because of the latter's identity as the Second Prince.

But he did not care about the other's identity at all. Not to mention the Second Prince, even the Sovereign could not force him to do anything.

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ningyue's lips.

However, Tang Liren's face became extremely unsightly, yet he said nothing further.

Although he had made considerable progress in his power over the past month, he still had no confidence in contending with Wang Ruoxie.

Because he had already noticed that Wang Ruoxie's cultivation had advanced to the Eighth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, and it was at the peak of the Eighth Layer.

"Wang Ruoxie, once we enter the Ancient Ruins, it will be your death date."

An icy glint flickered in Tang Liren's eyes, for at times, strength does not decide everything.

Within the Ancient Ruins, no matter how strong Wang Ruoxie was, Tang Liren felt confident he could kill him.

Because before setting off, his father had given him a life-preserving artifact. As long as he used it, he could easily destroy Wang Ruoxie.

...

Through the small window of the cabin, Wang Ruoxie's gaze fell upon the vast void outside.

He was finally leaving the East Victory Kingdom. Although it was merely to go to Moon Burial Valley and enter the Ancient Ruins, it still filled him with a sense of sentimentality.

This time, leaving the East Victory Kingdom, he was certain to compete with the top talents among the younger generation of the entire Eastern Domain.

He was also somewhat looking forward to seeing if his current strength could surpass those talented experts from the Eastern Domain.

Of course, to him, leaving the East Victory Kingdom was merely the first step. His goal was not the East Victory Kingdom, nor the Eastern Domain, nor even the Yuanwu Continent, but the vast Great Thousand Worlds.

Wang Ruoxie slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

Although this form of cultivation was far from comparable to the Dragon Transformation Pool, he did not want to waste these half a month of time.

Moreover, this entry into the Ancient Ruins would surely be fraught with danger. If he could improve his strength even slightly, his chances of survival would increase.

Others, like him, also began to cultivate with their eyes closed.

...

Half a month's time passed quickly.

"Second Prince, we have arrived at Moon Burial Valley."

Qi He entered the cabin, bowed slightly to Tang Liren, and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes, then got up and walked out of the cabin.

Standing on the deck, they looked down and saw a wide open ground below.

At this moment, many people had already gathered on the ground.

Soon, the warship landed on the ground, and everyone took their first steps off it.

"The people from the East Victory Kingdom have arrived."

"The one leading should be Tang Liren, the Second Prince of the East Victory Kingdom."

As they saw Tang Liren, Wang Ruoxie, and others disembark the warship, the surrounding crowd whispered to one another.

Wang Ruoxie scanned the crowd; these people should be the top talents from the other fifteen kingdoms as well as from the top forces independent of the kingdoms.

Among them, the lowest cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, and most were at the Ninth Layer. Judging from their auras, their strength could surely overshadow those of the same rank.

Among these, more than a dozen radiated a Half-Step Innate aura, with several aurae surpassing that of Tang Liren.

For example, the person with fiery red hair, just from his aura alone, could overshadow most of those present.

"He is Xiahou Lie, the Third Prince of the Fire Cloud Kingdom. It's said he once battled an Innate Realm and stood undefeated for ten moves."

Xiao Ningyue walked up to Wang Ruoxie and whispered.

"Fighting against an Innate Realm for ten moves without defeat, Xiahou Lie's strength is probably infinitely close to the Innate Realm."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes slightly condensed. Ten moves may seem few, but facing the Innate Realm, even a Half-Step Innate struggles to withstand one move.

Yet Xiahou Lie managed to endure ten moves without defeat, his strength likely far exceeds that of a typical Half-Step Innate.

At this moment, a series of exclamations arose from the crowd, indicating that the famed figures of the entire Eastern Domain had arrived.

Wang Ruoxie looked up to see a group of ten walking over, led by a handsome young man in a black robe, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, and a charming smile, drawing cheers from many young women.

"He is Lin Jingfeng from the Black Luo Kingdom; his strength is no weaker than Xiahou Lie, perhaps even stronger."

Xiao Ningyue spoke again.

Then, with Xiao Ningyue's introductions, Wang Ruoxie roughly acquainted himself with the top talents and experts from each kingdom.

Suddenly, the crowd was again in an uproar, with many looking excited.

Wang Ruoxie thought another famed figure had arrived, but to his surprise, he saw an exceptionally beautiful woman approaching.

The woman wore a light green dress, her face was incredibly exquisite and beautiful, appearing almost fairy-like.

"Su Lian'Er, one of the six great beauties of the Eastern Domain."

Xiao Ningyue's eyes revealed a different light as she spoke.

"Indeed, beauty always draws the most attention, no matter where or when."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled softly and said.

"Do you also think she is beautiful?"

Xiao Ningyue asked Wang Ruoxie with a half-smile.

"She is not as beautiful as you."

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Xiao Ningyue and replied.

He was not flattering Xiao Ningyue. You must know, Xiao Ningyue was originally one of the four great beauties of the Celestial Sword Sect. Later, with his help, she completely integrated the Nine Yin Profound Body, enhancing both her appearance and temperament, becoming even more beautiful.

Though Su Lian'Er was an exceptionally beautiful woman, she still paled in comparison to Xiao Ningyue.

Had it not been to avoid trouble, Xiao Ningyue wore a veil; her appearance alone could astonish the entire crowd.

"Nonsense, Su Lian'Er may not be the foremost beauty among the six, but she is still an incomparable beauty, far beyond ordinary faces."

Then, a young man dressed in luxurious attire spoke mockingly to Wang Ruoxie, and disdainfully glanced at Xiao Ningyue.

He could not tolerate anyone insulting his goddess Su Lian'Er.

In his view, Xiao Ningyue's veiling her face clearly meant some flaw or awfulness, refusing to be seen to avoid mockery.

"Everyone has different tastes; I find Su Lian'Er less beautiful than my friend. What's wrong with that?"

Wang Ruoxie glanced indifferently at the youth and said.

"Ridiculous, hiding one's face and still claiming beauty? Surely of hideous appearance, thus hiding from sight."

The youth sneered and mocked.

"Indeed, if you truly believe she's more beautiful than Su Lian'Er, then let her remove the veil, and let us see."

"While aesthetics may vary, they're generally similar, and if she is truly beautiful, we naturally would recognize it."

Many around joined in agreement.
