For a long time, the world had been very curious about the identity of Taiyi Holy Land’s Elder King.
How could such a Venerable of the Bahuang realm remain unknown?
However, even if the people of the Taiyi Holy Land had doubts, they would not ask. They only needed to know that the Elder King was on the Taiyi Holy Land’s side. Moreover, it could be seen that the Elder King had no ill intentions toward the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, he did not even want the position of the Holy Lord. Even the position of Elder King had only been accepted reluctantly.
However, Qin Shiqi was a senior elder of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had a high status and his cultivation had reached the Bahuang realm, thus respected as a Venerable. In terms of influence over the Great Qin Dynasty, even Qin Feng, who had complete rule over the Great Qin Dynasty, could not compare to him.
He could use the Great Qin Dynasty’s resources as he pleased. His cultivation, power, influence, and qualifications were all at the peak of the mortal world. There was no problem for him to ask the Elder King this question.
His old eyes wanted to see through the light on the Taiyi Holy Land’s Elder King and see the latter’s true face.
Unfortunately, even a powerful Venerable like him could not penetrate the light.
Qin Shiqi knew that Taiyi Holy Land’s Elder King had unfathomable cultivation.
Qin Chen’s body was surrounded by wisps of light, making him look mysterious and unpredictable. He stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled, “You’re too kind. I’m just a handyman of the Taiyi Holy Land. I spend my time sweeping the Holy Land all year round, just an ordinary person.”
Qin Shiqi frowned. He didn’t believe that such a great figure was just a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land.
However, since the other party was unwilling to say anything, he naturally could not probe further.
Furthermore, the other party was now the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, a title personally bestowed by the Imperial Lord, so he was considered a member of the Great Qin Dynasty as well.
As Qin Chen left, Qin Shiqi stared at his back and muttered to himself, “Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, who are you? It can’t be that you don’t even have a name, right…”
However, how could he have imagined that this Elder King, whose identity he had been guessing about for a long time, was actually the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty who had been exiled to the remote regions?
After a quiet night, another riot broke out in the Imperial City the next day. Someone took action and started a rebellion, demanding the Imperial Lord abdicate.
Of course, those were all old officials who supported the factions of the other princes and princesses. Now that the Imperial Lord was “cleaning” the imperial court in an attempt to remove the hidden bombs in the Empire, many people’s interests were affected. As a result, they jumped out and tried to stop the Imperial Lord’s actions in the name of bringing order back.
All this was not a problem though. For the Imperial Lord, he could easily suppress them.
As time passed, Imperial Lord Qin Feng gradually gained control of the entire Great Qin Dynasty. Many hidden dangers were forcefully removed by forceful means.
The entire Great Qin Dynasty seemed to be developing in a prosperous direction.
Unknowingly, it had been half a year since the usurping of power.
Qin Chen had stayed in the Imperial City for half a year.
During this period, although many rebels attacked the Imperial Lord, they were all suppressed in the end. The Imperial Lord’s power spread across all branches of the Empire. He gradually drew all the power into his own hands, wanting to forge the Great Qin Dynasty into an iron bucket.
Furthermore, the Imperial Lord who possessed the heirloom seal could control part of the divine dynasty’s energy and could thus unleash cultivation that was not inferior to that of a Bahuang realm Venerable.
Moreover, because he had Qin Chen, the great Venerable Minister, and Lord Dragon, the country protector Venerable, backing him up, it was difficult for the rebels to cause any big waves. They were all suppressed.
On the other hand, Qin Chen had also left Frozen Venerable behind.
Frozen Venerable was no longer the awe-inspiring Venerable he once was, but a puppet.
In the past half a year, Qin Chen had truly obtained many shocking treasures by checking in here in this Dynasty left behind by Qin Shihuang.
One of them was when he once again went to the place where Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars. He checked in there and obtained a secret technique called the “Jiutian Corpse-refining Technique”, an emperor-grade secret technique.
The Jiutian Corpse-refining Technique was a supreme secret technique created by an ancient Imperial Lord in the primordial era who was a professional in corpses. The technique was ranked as an emperor-grade secret technique and allowed one to refine powerful corpses into puppets. When cultivated to a high level, even living creatures could be refined into puppets.
Thus, Qin Chen refined Frozen Venerable into a puppet.
Although he was called a “puppet”, he was now more like a slave. The slavery went into the depths of his soul, making Frozen Venerable completely loyal to Qin Chen.
Although Frozen Venerable was only at level five of the Bahuang realm, he was a famous venerable. With him protecting the new Imperial Lord Qin Feng in secret, Qin Chen could rest easy.
In addition, the Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty. Two of the five imperial elders were also Venerables.
Furthermore, the Great Qin Dynasty still had the foundation of a divine dynasty that could not be ignored. In this world, four great Venerables were enough to maintain the rule of the Great Qin Dynasty.
“Alright, 9th brother, it’s time for me to leave.”
Although the rebels had kept causing trouble within the half a year that he had been guarding, the Imperial Lord had been able to deal with them one by one. Qin Chen felt that he had thus completed his mission and there was no need for him to stay any longer. It was time to leave.
In the Daxiong Palace Hall, the Imperial Lord was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. His imperial aura was surging, and he was more shrewd than before. He seemed unfathomable and truly looked like the unparalleled Imperial Lord who ruled the divine dynasty that spanned hundreds of millions of miles.
His cultivation was also improving. With the elixir pills that Qin Chen gave him from time to time and the help of the divine dynasty’s energy, his cultivation speed increased. In just half a year, he had already advanced one level. This cultivation speed was indeed very fast.
The Imperial Lord looked at Qin Chen. After a moment of silence, he said, “17th brother, are you really not willing to stay? You should know that as long as you’re willing to stay, you have the final say in the entire Great Qin Dynasty. Even my position as the Imperial Lord can be given to you.”
Qin Chen shook his head, “You don’t have to say anything more, 9th brother. I’m not interested in the position of the Imperial Lord. Besides, I’m more interested in being a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land than inheriting the position.”
In response, the Imperial Lord smiled helplessly.
His 17th brother was extremely outstanding in all aspects. He was younger than him and had a higher cultivation realm than him. However, he had always been indifferent and did not yearn for power.
The Imperial Lord was helpless about this and could only let his 17th brother leave.
“Go ahead then. When I’m free, I’ll go to the Taiyi Holy Land to look for you. Or when you’re free, you can come to the Qin Capital to look for me,” In the end, the Imperial Lord could only say this. He was both angry and helpless at his 17tth brother.
Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to leave, an official suddenly came in a hurry to seek an audience.
“Greetings to Your Majesty, the Minister, and Country Protector Venerable!” The official immediately bowed.
“Rise, what is the matter for you to be in such a hurry?” The Imperial Lord couldn’t help but frown slightly. For him to have been disturbed while bidding farewell to his 17th brother made him displeased.
Seeing that the Imperial Lord was displeased, the official quickly said, “Your Majesty, a riot has occurred in Mu Province’s Death Valley again, causing the surrounding ten thousand miles of land to be plunged into misery and suffering. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have disappeared, and even several Grandmasters in Mu Province have been killed. The 27th Prince went to suppress the riot, but he never returned.”
“The Death Valley again!” The Imperial Lord’s eyes glinted.
