The 9th Prince Who “Completed” the Picture Himself
The Elder King had taken the 9th Prince as his disciple.
The 11th Imperial Prince, 19th Imperial Prince, 7th Prince, and 13th Princess were naturally very anxious. They had come all the way from the Great Qin Dynasty to the Taiyi Holy Land in hopes of getting the support of the Elder King. So, all of them wanted the Elder King to make a new choice.
However, when they thought of how the Elder King had sent the 3rd Imperial Prince and 2nd Prince of the Qiyao Realm flying with a wave of his sleeve, such unfathomable ability made them feel awe and respect. They did not dare to disobey the Elder King’s wishes, afraid that they would end up like that.
In the end, they could only cup their fists and leave with forced smiles.
As they watched them leave, the hearts of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others sank. They were ultimately still caught up in the internal struggle for the throne of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, since it was the Elder King’s choice, they respected it.
In the Taiyi Main Hall, the 8th Imperial Prince was very happy. Now that the Elder King had taken the 9th Prince as his disciple, the 9th Prince had the help of an Bahuang Realm Venerable. As such, he would have a huge advantage in the fight for the Crown Prince’s position.
From a certain perspective, the 9th Prince had basically obtained the Crown Prince’s position.
When the imperial family was considering the selection of a Crown Prince, they would definitely consider winning over a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm with the position.
“Feng’er, hurry up and greet your master,” The 8th Imperial Prince hurriedly said to the 9th Prince.
The 9th Prince came back to his senses and was about to kneel to pay his respects, but Qin Chen sent out a wave of majestic divine power to stop him, “There’s no need to kneel now. If you want to become my disciple, you still have to fulfill a few conditions.”
Of course, these conditions were just made-up. Qin Chen didn’t want his 9th brother to kneel to him. After all, if his 9th brother knew about this in the future, he would definitely beat him out of embarrassment.
The 8th Imperial Prince naturally understood the Venerable’s temperament. Even if the 9th Prince was extremely talented and had entered the Qiyao Realm before the age of 100, which made him even more talented than the 2nd and 7th Princes, he still needed to be tested.
Of course, the 8th Imperial Prince was very confident that the 9th Prince would be able to overcome this challenge and become the Elder King’s disciple.
Qin Chen didn’t tell the 9th Prince the conditions right away. Instead, he had him stay in the Taiyi Holy Land for a while.
The 9th Prince stayed, while the 8th Imperial Prince only stayed for a few days before leaving because he still had important matters to attend to in the Great Qin Dynasty. After that, he bade farewell and left with the rest of the royal family.
On a cliff, Qin Chen watched as the 8th Imperial Prince’s figure disappeared completely. Then, he let out a long breath, “That old man is finally willing to leave.”
The 9th Prince looked at the Elder King in shock. He didn’t expect the respected Elder King to speak so rudely.
“Now that the old man is gone, I can finally stop pretending. 9th brother, let’s drink together,” Qin Chen turned to the 9th Prince and smiled.
“9th brother?” The 9th Prince was stunned. He looked at Elder King in shock, “You, you’re my 17th brother!?”
“Oh, I forgot to remove my disguise,” Only then did Qin Chen remember. With a wave of his hand, the clear light of the path law that enveloped his body dissipated and he returned to his true form, revealing his handsome figure.
Qin Chen was still the same, but he was younger and more handsome than when the 9th Prince first saw him.
The 9th Prince’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, whom the four Princes and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty had come all the way from the Central Province to visit, was actually his 17th brother?
He had countless questions in his heart. Qin Chen brought him to a quiet mountain stream. The waterfall poured down and the pool was clear. There was a thatched house, a stone table, and two stone stools there.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Chen took out a pot of fine wine and said with a smile, “9th brother, I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things that I can’t tell you. I can only say that I’m the Elder King, and I was the one who killed Yang Tiancheng and the Demon King’s body that contained the demonic thought.”
Qin Chen didn’t hide this secret from the 9th Prince.
Since he had asked the 9th Prince to stay, he didn’t need to hide anything from him. He would be exposed sooner or later anyway, so he didn’t want to waste time hiding anything.
Qin Chen did trust the 9th Prince.
Although the 9th Prince already knew that his 17th brother was the Elder King, he was still shocked to hear it from Qin Chen.
Wasn’t his 17th brother a mortal?
Wasn’t he just a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land?
How did he become a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm and the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land?
The 9th Prince opened his mouth but didn’t ask. It took a long time for him to calm down, though he was still shocked. He needed some time to digest the information. He smiled bitterly and said, “17th brother, you’ve been hiding this from me for a long time. I was so worried about you and even wanted to bring you back to the royal family. Now, no one in the entire imperial family would dare to stop you from returning if you wanted to. Even if you want to become the Imperial Lord, those old fellows in the imperial family would not want anything more than your immediate return. ”
That’s right, the Great Qin Dynasty would definitely be very excited to have a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm return.
The Imperial Lord may seem high and might, what with being the master of an immortal divine dynasty, ruling the endless territories and controlling hundreds of millions of troops.
However, there were many factions within the dynasty, and there were many conflicts. Even the Imperial Lord could not suppress those old farts.
The appearance of a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm would immediately raise the influence of the entire Great Qin Dynasty to a whole new level. Just like how the Taiyi Holy Land had returned from a declining Holy Land to a state where it was on equal footing with the other factions with immortal inheritances.
For the greater good of the Great Qin Dynasty, many of the elders would support Qin Chen’s return.
Qin Chen poured a cup of wine and passed it to the 9th Prince. He took a sip and smiled, “9th brother, I don’t want to go back to the Great Qin Dynasty now. I am living a carefree and happy life here. Isn’t it much better than living in the Great Qin Dynasty?”
The 9th Prince shook his head. He wanted to say something. How could the Taiyi Holy Land be compared to the Great Qin Dynasty?
The Imperial Lord was even higher up.
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Qin Chen’s current life was indeed carefree. As the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, he was above everyone else and his words carried enormous weight.
Didn’t one see that even Holy Lord Taiyi and the other higher-ups of the Holy Land didn’t dare to refute his words?
However, there was one thing that he did not understand, “17th brother, you’re clearly the Elder King, so why are you still doing menial jobs like sweeping the floor and not willing to reveal your identity?”
Could he say that he could obtain rewards by checking in by sweeping the floor every day? Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, divine herbs, and Divine Spirit Sources came as he wished.
Besides, his 9th brother probably didn’t understand that it was way more fun to pretend to be a weak person while, in reality, being very strong.
Qin Chen naturally could not reveal his real secret. He simply smiled and said, “It’s good to be a handyman, it trains your mind.”
The 9th Prince came to a realization.
That’s right, from a high and mighty Prince of an immortal divine dynasty to a handyman all of a sudden, the difference was huge.
However, it was also a superior method to temper one’s mental state.
It was no wonder that his 17th brother had risen to the Bahuang Realm as a mortal in just a few decades.
Qin Chen immediately saw through the 9th Prince’s thoughts. He couldn’t help but curl his lips, “My 9th brother really has a great imagination. If I didn’t have the system to check in every day and obtain all kinds of treasures, who would be willing to be a handyman every day?”
He knew that the 9th Prince had misunderstood, but he didn’t explain. After all, with this, he wouldn’t have to think of an excuse, so it was just as well.
