Same day, earlier.
Daxia Kingdom, inside the forbidden city of the imperial palace.
A young girl wearing gorgeous clothes and a dragon and phoenix crown was walking through the long corridor with an elegant and dignified posture and a leisurely pace.
The girl arrived outside a gorgeous palace.
"Emperor!"
Outside the palace, several palace servants saw the girl and half-knelt on the ground, saluting the girl.
The girl looked at the palace people lightly and said:
"Get up."
Several palace officials stood up after thanking her, followed the girl, and walked into the palace calmly.
The girl entered the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table.
She took off the valuable jewelry one by one and put them in the dressing box.
After a rough estimate, the number of jewelry the girl took off must be at least a dozen.
And every piece of jewelry is specially customized for her by a top luxury brand.
In the mirror, the girl's beautiful face was reflected.
The girl's surname is Si and her given name is Weiyang.
Yes, Si Weiyang is the current emperor of Daxia.
At this time, a personal palace maid came behind Si Weiyang.
"Emperor, it's time to change clothes."
Si Weiyang stood up, took off her gorgeous dress and put on the casual clothes prepared by the palace maid.
She looked a little tired.
Today is her birthday.
Dignitaries from all over the world will visit her today.
In order to deal with these people, the girl must keep moving.
Now, she only comes back to rest a little.
There were more meetings waiting for her in the afternoon.
However, these meetings were not important meetings.
She also has no real power.
It is the cabinet that actually exercises power.
Si Weiyang's mission is to assume the role of a good emperor.
The Son of Heaven symbolizes the image of Daxia.
You must maintain nobility, dignity, elegance, and majesty at all times.
For a seventeen-year-old girl, this is still a bit too difficult.
Si Weiyang sighed softly.
At this time, the palace suddenly became dark.
"What's wrong with the light? Is it broken?"
Si Weiyang frowned and said.
At this moment, some lights in the distance approached here.
It turned out to be several palace maids, holding a luxurious cake in their hands.
17 candles were placed on the cake, giving off a warm glow.
"Happy birthday to you……"
Several palace maids smiled and sang happy birthday while delivering the cake to Si Weiyang.
"you……"
When Si Weiyang saw this, she was surprised and happy, and said in an incredible tone.
The leading maid said to Si Weiyang with a smile.
"Today is your birthday!"
"You don't think we haven't prepared anything, do you?"
They have lived together since they were children. In name, they have a master-servant relationship. In private, Si Weiyang treats them like sisters.
The surprise came so suddenly that Si Weiyang's fatigue was almost wiped away.
"thank you all……"
Si Weiyang gratefully took the cake and blew out the candles amidst the blessings of the maids.
After everyone shared the cake, they chatted for a while.
In order to relieve Si Weiyang's boredom, the leading maid came to Si Weiyang and said with a smile:
"By the way, the Holy Mountain training camp should be halfway over, right?"
"Emperor, haven't you been paying attention? How about we watch today's live broadcast?"
Si Weiyang originally had no interest, but seeing that the palace ladies were all interested, he asked the palace ladies to turn on the projection, projecting a light curtain into the mid-air.
Before, Si Weiyang had indeed been paying attention to the training situation at the Holy Mountain.
However, the results don't seem to be ideal.
The light curtain shows the situation of this Holy Mountain training camp.
How many people have signed up, how many people have been eliminated so far, and the ranking of each country.
Here, it's all at a glance.
This is when a palace maid exclaimed:
"Wow, more than 70,000 people have been eliminated from this Holy Mountain training!"
"What a scary number!"
Another palace maid laughed and said:
"What a big fuss, this Holy Mountain training is convening all young warriors from around the world. Anyone under 30 years old can participate!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of people who have passed the registration and selection process!"
"Hundreds of thousands of people?! Then these people are the top young combatants of our human federation, right?"
"More powerful than those in the Xinxing Grand Martial Arts Examination?"
"Whatever the Rising Star Martial Arts Trial is, it is only for warriors who have just come of age. This time it is for the top young warriors from around the world. Fourth-level warriors can only be regarded as ordinary in this training on the Holy Mountain!"
Hearing this, all the palace ladies exclaimed.
Si Weiyang smiled and said:
"You guys are making such a fuss!"
Si Weiyang took the remote control from the palace maid and adjusted the ranking display.
A palace maid looked at the ranking list brought up by Si Weiyang and said:
"Isn't this the ranking list of our Daxia country?"
What is displayed on the light screen is the list of the top 10,000 warriors from the Great Xia Kingdom.
"As expected of our Daxia, there are so many people entering the top ten thousand!"
A palace maid said proudly.
But soon someone discovered:
"But most of them are basically concentrated after 8,000 people?"
"Isn't this position dangerous? You could be squeezed out at any time!"
The leading maid next to Si Weiyang quietly said to Si Weiyang, with a tone of surprise and disappointment:
"Emperor, the new Emperor's Prodigy Bureau has also gone to participate in the Holy Mountain training, right?"
"That Mr. Yun, didn't you ask me about him before?"
"He didn't appear in the rankings?"
The "Mr. Yun" in the palace maid's mouth naturally refers to Yun Chen.
Calling him sir is also a polite honorific.
Si Weiyang frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although she lives in seclusion in this forbidden city, she still understands the latest developments in the Human Federation.
For example, the "Formation of the Demon-Conquering Army" event, such as the "Fall of the Sky Island" event.
Of course, it also includes "Major Yun Chen who returned from the devil world."
Si Weiyang was really curious about this young man who was about the same age as himself, but who had excelled in martial arts and attracted the attention of federal high-level officials.
It is a pity that in this Holy Mountain training camp, the man of the hour, Yun Chen, has not performed well so far.
At this time, the leading maid said:
"Emperor, there is no need to be disappointed."
"That Mr. Yun is still very young after all. Many of the people participating in the training this time are almost 30 years old. It is understandable that Mr. Yun is lagging behind them for the time being."
Si Weiyang nodded, but her expression was thoughtful.
"Emperor, you seem to care about him very much?"
Seeing that Si Weiyang was still worried, the leading maid asked with concern.
Si Weiyang shook her head and said:
"Nothing, I just remembered the secret history I once read."
At this time, Si Weiyang suddenly asked
"Queyin, have you heard of the legend of the Jinyun clan?"
The leading maid named Queyin didn't know why and asked strangely:
"What legend?"
Si Weiyang recalled the memories in her mind and said:
"I remember that I once read relevant records."
"The Jinyun family...the former sword god family of Daxia."
