Half an hour ago.
The Middle Heavens.
It is said that the world is divided into three different parts - the Lower Heavens, the Middle Heavens, and the Upper Heavens!
Each progressing heaven has a totally different living condition and qi density.
The higher the cultivators went, the denser the Qi is and easier it becomes to cultivate.
For instance, it is rare to see a Core Formation Realm cultivator in the Lower Heavens, and someone of that caliber is usually a high-ranked member of an organization, sect, or clan.
However, Core Formation Realm cultivators are pretty common in the Middle Heavens, and even the younger generation cultivators can get to this realm at an early age.
As for the Upper Heavens, it isn't usually in the picture - because to get to that place, one must surpass the unachievable - Great Saint Real!
Great Saint Realm is the highest cultivation level in the Middle Heavens, and such cultivators can be counted on one hand.
The most famous of all is none other than the Emperor Of Middle Heavens, Ye Tian Xuan, commonly known as Emperor Ye.
Unlike the Lower Heavens, the Middle Heavens are under one supreme rule of the Great Ye Clan!
While there are many other huge clans and terrifying organizations, none of them can even come close to the Great Ye Clan's influence and power.
Emperor Ye was the most powerful genius in history, and in this generation, his son Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, took on the mantle.
Even though the clan was huge and there were lots of people in the sect, the mainline of the family was very simple.
Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was the only son of Emperor Ye; thus, there was no hidden political struggle or schemes for power.
He would usually spend his days in his palace, fully focused on cultivation and increasing his battle prowess.
Even though Ye Tian Yun had not made a name for himself based on his own merits, just because of his father, many people in the Middle Heavens were willing to give up on everything to get acquitted with this legendary prince.
However, according to the servants and other clan members of the Great Ye Clan, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun had been acting pretty weird for the last few months.
Earlier, he simply used to focus on his cultivation and never bothered to even glance at the servants. However, one day, after coming out of the secluded cultivation, he changed.
It happened about six or so months ago. At first, he had sent Butler Liu on an important mission, who was last seen heading towards the Lower Heavens.
Then after about a month, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun suddenly came out of seclusion and did something that confused everyone in the palace.
He called the accountant and started tallying all the expenses and even looked at all the matters going on in the household. Everyone in the Crown Prince Palace was shocked to see that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun knew what was going on in the house!
It was as if he had always looked after the palace even though he acted so indifferent!
He just needed to take a look at the sheets and expenses, and he was able to tell what was going on or if there was anything wrong.
Many were confused by his odd behavior, but they were not disappointed or angry; rather, they were thrilled!
Their indifferent master thought about them!
This was the first time ever Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun had shown interest in the palace work since the palace was built.
How could the old servants, from cooks to the guards, not be surprised and thrilled about this?
But all this suddenly came to a sudden halt.
One day, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun suddenly declared that he wouldn't be meeting anyone at all. Only the palace servants were allowed to meet him, and that too only if it was important. Though a few were given the unlimited privilege to disturb him, like the accountant of the palace, who was living the dream of his life - being able to work with the Crown Prince himself!
But this decision didn't come out of nowhere. About a month ago, when the Grand Elder of Heaven Oracle Sect, suddenly arrived to greet the Crown Prince, and after that meeting, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun declared that he wouldn't meet any outsiders because he will be facing an important breakthrough in his cultivation.
And after that, things became more and more complicated, and no one, not even close friends of Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, was allowed to enter the palace.
But there was one person whose words the Crown Prince couldn't ignore.
Today, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun's Father, the Emperor, had called him to the Imperial Palace.
'Fuck, of all people, it had to be him!'
Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun walked from one corner to another, thinking about any possible excuse to escape the situation.
He knew that everything would come out if he went to the palace - he might even be punished!
After all, he wasn't the real Crown Prince.
'Damn, where did the Crown Prince go?' He was confused and had no answer to this question.
And he couldn't even ask anyone about it. When Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun went to the Lower Heavens for some unknown reason, he had to do something and hide the fact that real Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was missing.
In fact, if not for his own identity, he would have never known that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun had gone to the Lower Heavens.
"Crown Prince, please come with me. The Emperor had said that this matter is urgent." The Eunuch was standing at the door, confused by the Crown Prince's panic.�
'Ugh, alright, we will see what happens. This meeting summon is unavoidable. Sigh.'
"Let's go!" The fake Crown Prince gestured at the Eunuch to take the lead.
The Eunuch nodded slightly and headed for the palace, the fake Crown Prince following right behind.
Soon, they had reached the Emperor's courtyard.
