The Selection of a Disciple
The Taiyi Holy Lord’s expression turned cold as he shouted, “3rd Imperial Prince, is the identity of the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land something an outsider like you can question?”
All the Supreme Elders also stood up and said coldly, “3rd Imperial Prince, you’ve crossed the line. You do not have the right to meddle in the affairs of the Taiyi Holy Land.”
“It is enough that the Taiyi Holy Land knows the Elder King’s identity. There’s no need to tell outsiders.”
Although they did wish to know Elder King’s true identity, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others knew that they had to speak up for the Elder King at this time. Otherwise, if the Elder King quit in a fit of anger, the Taiyi Holy Land would suffer the greatest loss.
Besides, the Elder King had even refused the position of the Holy Lord back then. It was only when they had all requested together for him to take on the position of the Elder King that he had reluctantly agreed.
Obviously, the Elder King didn’t want anything from the Taiyi Holy Land. He hadn’t asked for anything in the past few years either. Otherwise, with his status, he could have everything he wanted from the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
From this, it could be seen that Elder King was really an elder of the Taiyi Holy Land and treated them very well.
The Taiyi Holy Land would be stupid to drive away such a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm with such a noble character and high prestige.
They could still clearly distinguish the severity of the matter.
Qin Chen was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Taiyi Holy Land and the others. If they really wanted to know his identity, he would not reveal it even if he had to leave the Taiyi Holy Land.
With his current cultivation, he could go anywhere in the world.
There was no lack of places left behind by the great Emperors in the world.
Qin Chen glanced at the 3rd Imperial Prince. With that, a terrifying aura covered Heaven and Earth, sending the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince flying. They coughed up blood.
A thunderous and majestic voice exploded in the Taiyi Main Hall, deafening everyone, “Qin Huai, it is not your place to question me who I am. Do you think that just because you are the 3rd Imperial Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you can do whatever you want? If you dare to talk back to me again, I’ll immediately suppress you and have the Great Qin’s Imperial Lord come personally to take you back!”
The terrifying power made everyone in the Taiyi Main Hall feel like a huge mountain was pressing down on them. They all looked at the mysterious Elder King in shock.
As expected of a peerless Venerable, such might was unparalleled!
A trace of blood flowed down the corner of the 3rd Imperial Prince’s mouth as he looked at the Elder King in fear.
He had only dared to question the Elder King because of his status as the royal member of an immortal divine dynasty, but now that he thought about it, he felt a wave of fear.
What kind of people was Venerables? Their emotions were unpredictable. For example, the great Venerable Xue Ye of the Central Province was able to move unhindered in the world. He didn’t even put the immortal divine dynasty in his eyes. Even forces with great emperor inheritances didn’t dare to offend him.
This was because they had the cultivation to suppress the world.
Now that he thought about it, his actions just now were simply courting death.
If the Elder King wanted to take him down, the Great Qin Dynasty would have no objections as a Venerable was not to be blasphemed. They would probably even be willing to pay a huge price to suppress this matter in exchange for the Elder King’s forgiveness.
No one was willing to offend a Venerable.
“Get lost!” The Elder King snorted coldly. With a wave of his sleeve, his vast divine power sent the 3rd Imperial Prince and 2nd Prince flying.
The two of them were both Kings of the Qiyao Realm, but they were completely defenseless in front of the Elder King and were sent flying out of the main hall.
From this, it could be seen how unfathomable the cultivation of the Elder King at the Bahuang Realm was!
Although the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince were both shocked and angry to have been embarrassed as such in public, they didn’t dare to say anything. They turned into rainbows and soared into the sky, leaving.
Following that, the Elder King looked at the other members of the Great Qin Dynasty, making them feel as if they were facing a great enemy. Immediately, the 8th, 11th, and 19th Imperial Prince, as well as the other three King-level Princes and Princesses of the royal family, stepped forward and said, “Elder King, we are only here to sincerely pay a visit to you. We don’t dare to offend you.”
“It’s good that you know your place,” The Elder King nodded.
With the 3rd Imperial Prince’s matter as an example, the few Imperial Princes did not dare to speak frankly. They only used the excuse of paying a visit. When they spoke, they faintly revealed some intentions of hoping for the Elder King’s support.
Qin Chen pretended not to know.
Seeing that the Elder King did not seem to understand, the 8th Imperial Prince gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak, “Elder King, we’ve come this time to discuss some important matters that we hope that Elder King can help us with. Whether we succeed or fail, I can promise that if the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land come to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future, we will open a part of the cultivation secret realms for the disciples’ cultivation. If we succeed, I can represent the Great Qin Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with the Taiyi Holy Land. ”
The 11th and 19th Imperial Princes naturally spoke as well, promising certain conditions. As long as the Elder King was willing to agree to their requests, they would pay a certain price.
“Speak, what is your purpose?” Qin Chen asked despite already knowing the answer.
Seeing that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land had taken the initiative to speak, the 8th Imperial Prince and the other Imperial Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty looked at each other, but still did not say it out loud. They only said that they hoped that the Prince or Princess of their respective factions could cultivate under the Elder King. However, they also expressed in a discreet manner that as long as the Elder King was willing to take the Prince or Princess in as a disciple, not only would the Elder King be the Imperial Advisor, but he would also become the imperial family’s High Priest and enjoy endless power in the dynasty.
Such matters couldn’t be said straight out, but the meaning was self-evident.
At this point, QIn Chen could no longer pretend that he did not understand.
Qin Chen really did not want to get involved in the internal conflicts of the Great Qin Dynasty. After all, to him, it was a very troublesome matter.
However, he had a good impression of his 9th Brother Qin Feng.
He was thinking that if the 9th Prince became the Imperial Lord, his mother would be released from the cold palace.
It would also be more convenient for him to return to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future.
“Very well,” Qin Chen said, “I do want to choose a disciple.”
The three Princes and Princesses were excited. They all hoped that the Elder King would choose them.
In the end, Qin Chen’s gaze landed on the 9th Prince, “9th Prince, you’re not bad. You can cultivate with me in the future.”
Both the 8th Imperial Prince and the 9th Prince were overjoyed.
The expressions of the 11th Imperial Prince, 19th Imperial Prince, 7th Prince, and 13th Princess changed. To think the Elder King had chosen the 9th Prince!
The 11th Imperial Prince immediately stepped forward and said with an ugly expression, “Elder King, do you want to think about it carefully? The 9th Prince isn’t the only one with good talent. For example, the 7th Prince, Qin Zhen, is about the same age as the 9th Prince. He’s also at level four of the Qiyao Realm. He has a high chance of becoming like you and entering the Bahuang Realm!”
“What’s wrong? Do I need your permission to take someone as my disciple?” Qin Chen snorted, “Or do you want to end up like the 3rd Imperial Prince?”
