Chapter 50 - Juitian Realm Great Venerable

Two months later, the ninth prince came to Qin Chen’s residence to say goodbye, ” “Seventeenth brother, I’m leaving. The eighteenth uncle told me that the selection of the crown prince was about to begin. The second prince, seventh prince, and thirteenth princess of the Great Qin Empire are all making their preparations. The eighteenth uncle told me to hurry back and prepare to fight for the position of the crown prince.”

Qin Chen nodded. “Ninth brother, you’re already on the fourth level of Qiyao Realm. I believe you’re one of the best among the younger generation of the imperial family, so you have a great chance of becoming the crown prince. Just come to me whenever you need me.”

“Sure.” The ninth prince was silent for a while before suddenly saying, “Seventeenth brother, are you really not going back? As long as you’re willing to return, the imperial clan will definitely restore your status as a prince right away. Furthermore, the position of the crown prince will definitely belong to you, and you will be the emperor one day.”

To be honest, he felt that his seventeenth brother, Qin Chen, was more suitable to become the emperor than him because he was stronger and more talented.

“Forget it. I’m not interested. I don’t practice the Book of Shihuang, either.” Qin Chen waved his hand. “It’s just a title. If i become the emperor, I’ll have to deal with a lot of things every day. It’s so troublesome. Living a free life like now is way better.”

“Alright.” the ninth prince smiled wryly. He was envious of his seventeenth brother’s carefree life, but he was destined to be unable to do so. Even if he didn’t want to fight for the position of crown prince, it was impossible. There were too many people involved, and he had no choice but to be part of the war.

The ninth prince left and returned to the Great Qin Empire.

Only Qin Chen and Lord Dragon were left here.

Although he felt that something was missing, he was still at ease.

Half a year later, Qin Chen received news about the ninth prince, who had defeated the other princes and princesses to become the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire.

Qin Chen smiled in relief. He knew that with his ninth brother’s strength, he could definitely become the crown prince.

After that, he started to keep a low profile and focused on cultivation. Other sweeping the floor to check in with his appearance, he hadn’t appeared as Elder King for several years.

Five years later, Sacred Lord Taiyi retired, and the Holy Daughter Ling Ran took over his position to become the new Holy Lord of Taiyi Holy Land.

No one objected because Ling Ran had been a Qiyao Realm King for many years, and she was already on the fifth level, which meant she was even more powerful than the previous Holy Lord.

What was more, Ling Ran had received guidance from an expert and obtained Supreme Zixia Empress’s orthodoxy. She was born to be an empress who would break through Qiyao Realm, so Taiyi Holy Land had high hopes for her.

Ling Ran was indeed a qualified Holy Lord. Under her leadership, Taiyi Holy Land had been greatly developed. They cooperated and shared experiences with the major holy lands and aristocratic families of Southern Desolate Lands.

Because of Ling Ran’s charm, many geniuses joined Taiyi Holy Land after she became the Holy Lord. The holy lands and aristocratic families such as Yaoguang Holy Land, Absolute Beginning Tribulations, Sky Mansion, Southern Palace, and Northern Castle tried to steal them away, but none of them made it.

The world had a very high opinion of Ling Ran, seeing her as the best of her generation. Moreover, they all believed she would break through Qiyao Realm, become a Venerable, and even turn into a Sage.

However, in the ten years since Ling Ran became the holy leader, many demonized lands appeared in Taiyi Holy Land, and many places were pitch-black and demonized.

These were all signs that the sealed Sage-level great demon was about to awaken.

During this period of time, as a Holy Lord, Ling Ran had been thinking about how to get rid of their potential threat, the great demon. However, she could not find a practical solution, so she was pretty helpless.

She had thought about Elder King and Lord Dragon, the two Bahunag Realm Veberables.

However, this great demon’s realm was even higher. Legend had it that it was at Juitian Realm, so these Venerables would be no match for it.

Another thing that surprised her was that since Elder King dealt with Demon Valley, he seemed to have completely disappeared. Over the past few years, she had heard that many disciples had seen him, but she had never seen him.

At the same time, she felt that Elder King had no limit. She was already the King of a generation, but she still could not sense Elder King’s figure in Taiyi Holy Land. It showed that there was a huge gap between them.

On the other hand, Qin Chen had been cultivating. During this period, he only created a clone to replace his position as a cleaner to sweep the floor. In the eyes of others, after decades of hard cultivation, he had reached only Liangyi Realm, but he seemed way older, as if he was in his forties.

Of course, he used his appearance to confuse outsiders.

One day, Qin Chen let out a long breath that was full of vitality. If he released all the energy, he could shake the whole Taiyi Holy Land.

Time flew, and it had been twenty years since he had dealt with Demon Valley.

Qin Chen’s cultivation speed was still extraordinary. In just twenty years, he had crossed four levels and made himself one of the best level-nine Bahuang Realm Venerables.

The level-nine Bahuang Realm Venerables were also called great Veberables, which meant only peak Venerables were above them.

For example, the ancient great Venerable from Demon Sealing Land was at this level.

Qin Chen’s cultivation speed was as fast as ever. It was not only because of his Chaotic Holy Body but also of the countless treasures he had obtained over the past few decades. Therefore, he could use them as much as he wanted for cultivation.

It was shocking that someone could become a great Venerable before one hundred years old, especially since he had the Chaotic Holy Body. He was destined to have undefeatable combat power, which was enough to fight against ancient Sages.

Qin Chen did have the qualifications to do so. The ancient great emperors had already been able to fight against Sages when they were great Venerables, so he could make it.

He was confident that even if the great demon from the Holy Land came out, he could deal with it.

In the past twenty years, after witnessing Qin Chen’s amazing cultivation speed, Lord Dragon was in awe of him.

It had taken him twenty years to go from level five to ninth heaven of Bahuang Realm. It seemed that he had only crossed through the fourth level, which meant he had entered a new level every five years.

However, since ancient times, countless Veberables cultivated for hundreds of years in Bahaung Realm and only increased a few levels. Even if they were fast, they usually needed at least 1000 years to become a great Venerable.

For example, Lord Dragon, the Dragon Venerable, had inherited the bloodline of Immemorial Dragon, but it had taken him more than three hundred years to reach level four of Bahunag Realm. It was because he had been cultivating with Qin Chen recently that he had reached level five in twenty years.

It was already very fast, but it was insignificant compared to Qin Chen, who had only spent thirty years transferring from a Bahuang Venerable to a Juitian Realm great Venerable.

“Damn it! You are crazy!” Dragon Lord was a senior Veberable who had lived for more than two thousand years, and Qin Chen’s unbelievable cultivating speed still made him astonished.

Qin Chen glanced at him.

It had already taken him more than 20 years to reach level nine, which was pretty slow. After all, he was a man with the system.

Did anyone know what the system was?
