I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years
Qin Chen was transmigrated to the Taiyi Holy Land where he became a servant in charge of sweeping the floor. However, on his 16th birthday, he was rewarded with a system where he was rewarded whenever he signed in at a new place. When he signed in at the Empire Ruin, he was rewarded with the strongest Chaotic Holy Body and the Chaos Emperor Scripture. When he signed in at the Demon Sealing Land, he was rewarded with the Probationary Royal Armies. When he signed in at the Alchemy Palace, he was rewarded with the Divine-grade Alchemy. When he signed in at the Herb Garden, he was rewarded with an Immortality Elixir. When he signed in at the Empire Palace, he was rewarded with the Emperor-grade Divine Art, Revival. … Qin Chen thought he could just spend the rest of his life signing in at different places until he became invincible. However, when the ruin of the Great Kingdom appeared inside the holy land, people from other holy lands, prestigious families, and even ancient empires gathered to defeat the All-Powerful Demon King who appeared with the ruin. The Demon King had killed countless people and had planned to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land. Qin Chen was left with no choice but to step up. When he killed the Demon King with a single slap, he sighed, "Why do you guys have to force a mere servant to act?"

Fallen Prince Starts the Game with a Chaotic Holy Body! 1
"Qin Chen, from today onwards, you are no longer the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. You are now stripped of your Great Qin royal status."
"From here on, live with contentment in Taiyi Holy Land. Taiyi Holy Land has promised to let you cultivate while you are there. Even if that does not work out, you will at least be guaranteed safety for life."
"You can't blame the Great Qin Dynasty. You can only blame your mother for daring to plot treason and openly usurp power, causing great chaos in the dynasty."
"As well as yourself – although a prince, the flesh and blood of the great emperor, you're merely a mortal with no talent for cultivation."
"From today onwards, you are no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. And the dynasty will no longer recognize your status."
"In exempting you from punishment, and sending you to Taiyi Holy Land to cultivate and become its disciple, you are already being treated considerably well."
...
As Qin Chen stood on a cliff, the words of the dynasty experts who had sent him there kept replaying in his mind. As he gazed at the magnificent mountain range before him, his expression was one of confusion.
The truth was, he was not from that world, but had transmigrated from Earth to that world.
He had just transmigrated moments ago. His soul had entered the body of a 15-year-old young man named Qin Chen, and inherited all the memories of that body.
It was a world that belonged to cultivators. The land before him was called the Canglan Continent. It was vast and boundless, countless times larger than Earth. And had produced numerous top experts – experts with the power to move mountains and seas with the raise of a hand.
It even had ancient great emperors, above the heavens, who overlooked the vast, entire universe. They could devour the sun, moon and stars, and create the heavens and the earth. There was nothing they could not do.
Qin Chen had transmigrated into that kind of world to become the prince of an immortal divine dynasty.
The immortal divine dynasty remained one of the most powerful ancient inheritances left by an ancient great emperor on the Canglan Continent. It ruled over hundreds of millions of miles of territory in the Central Province, and had countless experts at its command.
As someone born into the imperial family of a divine dynasty, Qin Chen should have enjoyed riches and splendor, and become a powerful cultivator with the world at his feet and a bright future.
A pity that just after transmigration, before he could enjoy all that, the Great Qin Dynasty had stripped him of royalty and demoted him to commoner status. Then sent him far away from the Central Province to the southern wilderness, to Taiyi Holy Land, to become its disciple.
All because Qin Chen's mother had planned a rebellion to seize the throne. However, Qin Chen knew that it was the empress who had framed his mother.
Qin Chen's mother and the empress were both from extremely powerful royal factions within the Great Qin Dynasty. They were constantly vying for power. Unfortunately, Qin Chen's mother's faction was not as powerful as the empress'. In the end, she lost the latest battle, was framed and banished to the cold palace, never to be seen again.
The prince Qin Chen was also implicated. He was stripped of his royal status and made a commoner.
Qin Chen had not been imprisoned because he was merely a mortal, with a very low possibility of cultivating.
On account of his status, the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, in spite of his coldheartedness, ordered for Qin Chen to be sent to Taiyi Holy Land. Even if Qin Chen could not be an esteemed prince of the divine dynasty, he could at least be protected for life.
However, Qin Chen would never be able to rise to the top again.
Moreover, Taiyi Holy Land was no longer a place of splendor. It had completely declined since the ancient times. It retained the title "Holy Land" in name only.
"Qin Chen," Taiyi Holy Land's Supreme Elder took a look at the 15-year-old boy and examined him. He could sense that although the youth was a prince of the divine dynasty, both his talent and body were ordinary. No wonder he did he not get any recognition from the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Supreme Elder!"
Qin Chen, who had just inherited his identity, understood the situation he was in perfectly. He knew that the Supreme Elder before him was the true leader of Taiyi Holy Land. For the sake of his future, he bowed respectfully without delay.
When he saw that, the Supreme Elder nodded slightly. At least the fallen prince understood the situation. If he still dared to brandish his position as a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Supreme Elder would not hesitate to teach him a lesson. So his expression softened, and he said, "You know that you are now no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and cannot reveal that information to anyone. Now that you have entered our Taiyi Holy Land, start from the bottom. From today onwards, report to the handyman yard and start as a handyman disciple."
"This is my token. Show it to the elders of the handyman yard, and they will make arrangements for you. Go!"
After he finished, a token appeared in front of Qin Chen.
Qin Chen was a prince of the divine dynasty, after all. But he was born with a mortal body that was difficult to cultivate. Even as Supreme Elder, he could not make Qin Chen an official disciple. Otherwise, it would cause unhappiness among the other disciples, and bring harm to Qin Chen instead.
A handyman disciple was not bad either. He could live a peaceful life. With the Supreme Elder's token, no one in Taiyi Holy Land would dare to bully Qin Chen.
The Supreme Elder cast a look of pity on Qin Chen, then soared into the sky. He soon disappeared, leaving behind an envious Qin Chen.
After transmigrating to that world, who wouldn't want to become a super expert who could fly through the heavens and move mountains and seas?
But he was aware of his mortal body and slim chances of cultivation. It was simply impossible to reach that kind of level.
Qin Chen knew that handyman disciples were the lowest level disciples in Taiyi Holy Land. They could not even be considered official disciples. But he also understood the Supreme Elder's good intentions.

Fallen Prince Starts the Game with a Chaotic Holy Body! 2
However, with the Supreme Elder's token, the handyman yard would not dare to make things difficult for him. He probably would not need to do difficult chores.
Very quickly, Qin Chen headed to the handyman yard. True enough, the elders of the handyman yard did not make things difficult for him due to the token. They just let him be a sweeper handyman, who performed simple cleaning around the Holy Land daily.
But a lot of gossip spread within Taiyi Holy Land. It was not clear where they had heard the rumors from. Qin Chen had apparently been the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had just been demoted to commoner status, sent far away from the Central Province, and now reduced to a handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land.
As a result, a lot of official disciples – and even handyman disciples – gossiped and pointed whenever they saw Qin Chen.
Qin Chen could only smile bitterly in response. He had no other choice.
Fortunately, because of the Supreme Elder's token, those people could occasionally mock him, but did not dare to bully him physically.
Before he knew it, Qin Chen had been in that world for one year. He had gotten used to things.
Although he was not able to cultivate immortality, he could cultivate ordinary martial arts to strengthen his body.
Although Taiyi Holy Land was an immortal cultivation sect, it still offered many ordinary martial arts for cultivation.
That day, Qin Chen officially turned 16.
In that world, the age of 16 signified the beginning of adulthood. But no one celebrated for Qin Chen. He had no plans to celebrate either. As usual, he proceeded to a cliff to sweep, intending to spend his first birthday as an adult uneventfully.
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations, you have completed the system's one-year survival test. The system will now be officially activated.]
[System activation in progress...]
Qin Chen suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his head. His heart stopped.
"The system!"
Qin Chen was shocked. In the past year, he had gradually accepted his reality. He thought that he would be a sweeper handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land for the rest of his life.
He never expected to activate the legendary system on his 16th birthday.
He was aware of the system. It was a huge cheating device!
"I wonder what kind of system it will be?"
Qin Chen was full of anticipation.
He did not have to wait long. Soon, the system's voice sounded in his head again[System successfully activated. Please check in.]
[You may check in to any place between heaven and earth that contains divinity.]
[However, you may only check in once a day.]
[The higher the divinity of the place, the greater the reward for checking in.]
[You may check in repeatedly at certain places.]
Places with divinity?
Qin Chen understood instantly. The so-called divinity was places with Dao runes between heaven and earth. Some were innate, such as chaotic pure lands, ancestral vessels, spirit vessels, divine trees, divine herbs, and so on.
And some were man-made, such as places with marks left behind by top experts, great emperor training halls, an emperor's tomb, and the Nine Forbidden Grounds of Canglan Continent.
But he could only check in once a day. His first chance should not go to waste.
"It was not easy to awaken the system. It means there's hope for me to cultivate. I mustn't waste this great opportunity. I have to find a good place to check in."
Qin Chen was both surprised and delighted. The appearance of the system had reignited his dormant thoughts of cultivation.
After all, after transmigrating to that kind of world, who wouldn't want to become a super expert who could move freely in the world without obstruction? Especially like the masters of ancient holy lands, aristocratic families and dynasties, also known as kings. They were free to do anything and commanded the respect and obedience of everyone.
It was just that the elders of both the Great Qin Dynasty and Taiyi Holy Land had judged that his talent and body were very ordinary. It would be too difficult for him to enter the path of cultivation. His hopes were slim. As such, Qin Chen had given up on the idea of cultivation.
Now, the appearance of the system had reignited Qin Chen's hopes.
For his first check-in, he would definitely choose a place where an ancient great emperor had left his mark. Ancient great emperors were the gods of that world. It was said that they had the power to pluck stars and swallow moons, and were unbelievably terrifying. They were the supreme gods in the eyes of the people.
In that world, many immortal dynasties, holy lands and aristocratic families had produced great emperors. The Great Qin Dynasty, for example, definitely had places where ancient great emperors had left traces. The divinity of those places would definitely be very strong, and he was very likely to obtain good rewards if he checked in there.
But Qin Chen was only a mortal now. Not to mention the distance, he did not even have the right to get close to those places.
It would have to be in Taiyi Holy Land first.
Taiyi Holy Land had declined significantly, but it was still a holy land. However, its land area was too wide, with a radius of thousands of miles.
Qin Chen was just a sweeper handyman. In the past year, he had only gone nearby and had not been to many places in the holy land. So for a moment, he was at a loss as to where to check in.
"That's right. I've heard of an ancient place in the holy land. It's thought to be a place where an ancient great emperor once walked across. That ancient great emperor was the strongest in history, overlooking the universe. The places he's walked across must have tremendous divinity!"
Qin Chen suddenly recalled an ancient cliff in Taiyi Holy Land. An ancient great emperor was rumored to have stayed and left a pair of footprints there.
Of course, it was just a rumor. When Taiyi Holy Land was still on par with immortal holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, it possessed great talent and power. Emperors had even commissioned peerless experts to personally explore the cliff. However, they did not find anything special and wrote it off as a rumor in the end.
Over time, no one paid attention to that cliff. It had even been covered in dust for many years, and not many people went there.
Although there was a high possibility that it was just a rumor, Qin Chen decided to head there for his first check-in. If it truly was a place walked on by the great emperor, he would definitely obtain a good reward.
If not, it was just a one-day check-in opportunity. He would not consider it a big loss. At most, he could just check in the next day.
He had already waited 16 years. He did not mind waiting just one more day.
Four hours later, Qin Chen finally reached the location of the ancient great emperor's footprint after staggering up the mountain, panting.
It could not be helped. Taiyi Holy Land was simply too big. The destination was hundreds of miles from where he was, and the mountains along the way were towering. Qin Chen was fit and strong, having cultivated martial arts, but it still took him four hours.
It was not easy to find the place that the ancient great emperor was thought to have left his mark. Qin Chen looked at a not-too-tall cliff in front of him. The cliff was overgrown with weeds – all except an area 20 to 30 feet wide. There was not a single weed in sight, and it was free from dust all-year-round.
In the center was a pair of footprints. They were faint, but had been imprinted on the cliff for hundreds of thousands of years without being eroded.
[Ding dong!]
[A remnant with extremely high divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?]
[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]
Suddenly, the voice of the system appeared in his head.
After receiving the system notification, Qin Chen was convinced that it was the place where the ancient great emperor had left his mark. He immediately said silently, "System, I want to check in here!"
At the next moment.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the place where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor has left his mark. You have obtained the Chaotic Holy Body!]
The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Qin Chen's head.

Check In! Check In! The Chaotic Imperial Sutra!
Qin Chen was stunned beyond belief.
The Chaotic Holy Body!
He had actually obtained the strongest body type in the universe!
It was the body type of a great emperor unrivaled in his generation – the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Legend has it that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was invincible all his life. Whatever enemy he encountered, he shoved aside. If a god obstructed his way, he would kill the god. If a Buddha obstructed his way, he would kill the Buddha.
During that period, gods, demons and Buddhas alike, both ancient and modern, were all defeated by him.
Commander of the heavens, and respected by all realms!
That sentence most aptly described the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
He was one of the most powerful great emperors throughout history – the Heavenly Emperor!
And the Chaotic Holy Body remained the number one body type all the way from ancient times to present.
That type of body was said to be unparalleled in the universe. It was naturally able to refine tens of thousands of Daos. With cultivation, it could swiftly break all kinds of records, travel a thousand miles a day, and break the boundaries of various realms. Eventually, the owner could become a god and challenge the throne!
Qin Chen never expected that the footprint in that place had been left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
What was more surprising was that he would no longer have a mortal body, but the legendary Chaotic Holy Body.
While he was still taking all that in, Qin Chen felt an extremely mysterious, clear stream surge into his body. Then, all kinds of changes started taking place throughout his body. Instantly, his body seemed to be filled with infinite power.
It had transformed to become the Chaotic Holy Body!
But what troubled Qin Chen was that although he now had the Chaotic Holy Body, the more powerful the body type, the more difficult to cultivate. He would need a suitable sutra to truly unleash the potential of the Chaotic Holy Body.
Should he cultivate ordinary sutras, he would only wastefully destroy the Chaotic Holy Body. His foundation would be average, and unable to cultivate to the highest levels.
"A pity. If the Chaotic Imperial Sutra was given as well, it would be perfect when cultivated together with the Chaotic Holy Body.
Qin Chen was left with some regret. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was still the most suitable sutra to cultivate with. It was an imperial sutra specially created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor for the Chaotic Holy Body. It could make full use of the Chaotic Holy Body's potential, and allow for foundation establishment.
However, it was not in his possession. He could only look for other sutras to cultivate with.
Of course, if he checked in again, would he be able to get the matching Chaotic Imperial Sutra?
BOOM!
As soon as Qin Chen obtained the Chaotic Holy Body, the great emperor's footprints on the cliff shone with a blinding brilliance that shot into the sky.
It was as if a supreme great emperor had descended there.
It jolted the whole of Taiyi Holy Land and the immense pressure caused every person, big or small, to freeze. They looked towards the cliff in shock, "This pressure... It's coming from the cliff. Could that really be the footprints left by an ancient great emperor?"
Only Qin Chen could move. When the great emperor's pressure appeared, he felt his body undergo a wonderful transformation, and the blood in his body boil.
Crackle crackle.
All his bones and flesh trembled as they underwent thorough cleansing.
After a long time, a thick, foul-smelling substance appeared all over Qin Chen's body. He knew that it was the impurities in his body being expelled. His entire body felt significantly more refreshed.
It was probably caused by the resonance between the Chaotic Holy Body and the footprints left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Qin Chen felt extremely uncomfortable and left quickly.
He was a lot more relaxed than before when he left, and no longer exhausted. It took less than two hours to return to his residence.
Not long after, the phenomenon disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
A group of experts from Taiyi Holy Land, led by the Holy Lord, rushed to the cliff with the emperor's footprints. But they did not see anyone. They were baffled as to why the footprints of the ancient great emperor would be activated.
Fortunately, it was only a trace of the great emperor's majesty. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to withstand it.
After the phenomenon disappeared, the Holy Lord, elders and other high-level persons of the holy land examined the footprints for a long time, but came up with nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to leave.
They could never have imagined that the person who had caused the emperor footprint phenomenon to appear was a mere sweeper handyman disciple.
After Qin Chen returned to his residence and took a bath, he had a feel of his newly-gotten strength.
There was no one around him. He glanced at a huge rock the size of a house, wrapped both hands around it, and actually lifted it into the air, which showed his unbelievable strength.
Although he had been cultivating martial arts, it had only improved his fitness. It was good enough to have great strength at that time. But now, his strength had multiplied more than ten times.
And that was before cultivation. The Chaotic Holy Body had natural divine strength. Once he started cultivation, his strength would increase at an even more shocking pace.
The next day, Qin Chen sneaked back to the place with the emperor's mark. After ascertaining that no one was around, he spoke silently to the system, "I want to check in here!"
BOOM!
The phenomenon appeared once again!
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Chaotic Imperial Sutra as a reward!"]
In his head, a divine book appeared. As he opened the first page, a profound passage of sutra instantly appeared and was rapidly imprinted on his mind.
The Chaotic Imperial Sutra had appeared in Qin Chen's mind. He was stunned. He could not believe that he had obtained the legendary Chaotic Imperial Sutra on his second check-in.
That was an immortal imperial sutra created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was second to none from past to present. A sutra created specifically for the Chaotic Holy Body.
The first time he checked in, he had obtained the Chaotic Holy Body.
The second time he checked in, he obtained the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
It was as if everything had been arranged specially for him!
Qin Chen controlled the impulse to cultivate, because the emperor's light had reappeared. Anything could happen any moment. He should not stay for long.
Moreover, he did not know what would happen if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with the Chaotic Holy Body. It was safer to go back to his residence to cultivate.
After Qin Chen left, the Holy Lord and a group of elders appeared once again. Although the phenomenon had already disappeared, it had occurred two days in a row, which naturally raised questions.
Could it be a sign that the ancient great emperor's relic was about to appear?
After all, the birth of a relic was usually accompanied by a strange phenomenon.
Not to mention, no one knew why the ancient great emperor had specially left a pair of footprints there.
Soon, Qin Chen arrived at his residence and found a relatively hidden location. In recent years, very few from the sect had walked by that place. He began to cultivate.
As he started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with great anticipation, he realized something. Although vigorous spiritual energy was entering his body, no matter how he tried, he could not enter the first human body cultivation realm – Yiyuan!
In immortal cultivation on the Canglan Continent, cultivation realms were segregated into: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian and Shifang. Each realm was then further divided into nine levels of heavens.
To cultivate, it was necessary to step into the Yiyuan Realm and open up a divine sea in the body.
The divine sea was located at the dantian. It needed to be opened up and expanded, and transformed into a divine sea that stored divine power.
Qin Chen instantly understood. The Chaotic Holy Body was just too extraordinary. If he wanted to open his dantian to become a divine sea, he required a large amount of spiritual energy to succeed.
Otherwise, he would not be able to open his divine sea even if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
But where could he find large amounts of spiritual energy? Only in the immortal caves of high level people within the holy land. But he would never be allowed to set foot there.
The best alternative was to look for spirit stones.
A spirit stone was the product of crystallization of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contained large amounts of that energy.
Qin Chen was concerned about that. Taiyi Holy Land had long declined. It was not like other holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, which had large numbers of spirit mines. Taiyi Holy Land only had a few spirit mines at present. Moreover, they were relatively barren with low annual output.
Many elders themselves were only allocated a small number of spirit stones. Not to mention a mere handyman disciple – he was even less qualified to receive spirit stones.
Qin Chen was greatly troubled. He had shed his mortal body, but was still unable to cultivate.
At that point, Qin Chen could only hope to earn spirit stones when he checked in at other places within Taiyi Holy Land.
The next day, Qin Chen checked in at a different place. The mark of the emperor had shown movement two days in a row, and definitely attracted the attention of various high-level figures in Taiyi Holy Land. It was not convenient to check in again so soon. So he went to a great hall in Taiyi Holy Land.
It was a huge, magnificent hall. The Main Hall of Taiyi Holy Land. Holy Lords from past dynasties had all been there, so it should have good divinity.
More importantly, when Qin Chen swept the floor, he liked to enter the library to read the classics. He knew that the location of Taiyi Main Hall had undergone careful consideration. The founder of Taiyi Holy Land had specially chosen that place to build the hall. Buried underground were dragon vessels, intersecting numerous spirit vessels. It was definitely no ordinary place.
When Taiyi Holy Land was flourishing, generations of holy lands had used Taiyi Main Hall as a cultivation ground.
Of course, now that it had declined, the dragon vessels were nowhere to be found, and the spirit vessels had pretty much dried up.
However, he had a high chance of getting treasures like spirit stones from checking in to such a place.
[The system has detected a strong divinity here. Would you like to check in at Taiyi Main Hall?]
[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]
Even the system had confirmed his suspicions. He had to check in there.
"System, I want to check in!"
Qin Chen said silently in his head.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have obtained a Divine Spirit Source!]

Opening the Divine Sea!
Qin Chen was extremely surprised. He had actually obtained the Divine Spirit Source.
Spirit stones were the resources of the cultivation world. They contained an abundance of spiritual energy, and could help cultivators increase their cultivation speed.
But there were different levels of spirit stones. The Divine Spirit Source belonged to the highest level. It was equivalent to the refining of innumerable spirit stones on a large scale. Even with hundreds of spirit vessels, a Divine Spirit Source usually did not appear.
Moreover, the Divine Spirit Source rewarded by the system was the size of a human head, about one-tenth of a cubic meter. It was equivalent to at least three to four hundred thousand pounds of ordinary spiritual stones. Its value was priceless.
Qin Chen did not expect to receive a Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall.
It was a huge surprise. Obtaining the Divine Spirit Source meant that he could start his cultivation journey smoothly, open up his Divine Sea, and become a truly formidable cultivator.
Of course, Qin Chen did not take out the Divine Spirit Source immediately. It contained quite powerful spiritual energy. If he rashly took it out of the system space, he would be easily detected.
Taiyi Holy Land was a very big place. Back then, it was an immortal holy land that ruled over the southern wilderness. Its land area was vast and wide, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
Qin Chen had been a handyman disciple for a while, so naturally he had discovered quite a number of secret locations. Therefore, after returning, he searched for a relatively hidden cave. For years, not a single person had been seen there. Moreover, he was going deep into the cave, so any movements could be easily concealed.
Besides, Taiyi Holy Land was way too big. It was not easy for him to be discovered.
Qin Chen took out the Divine Spirit Source from the system space, and started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
At first, the dantian in his body felt rigid. But after continuous absorption of magnificent spiritual energy from the Divine Spirit Source, it expanded rapidly. Waves of divine power appeared, having been transformed from spiritual energy by the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, and filled the divine sea.
The Chaotic Holy Body was the best body type from past to present. And the divine power being produced was derived from cultivating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with that body. Just then, a divine power ocean with glowing golden ripples emerged. It looked like a trembling golden ocean, with surging, raging waves. It was a terrifying sight.
A blinding golden light shone from within his body, illuminating the entire cave.
Fortunately, he was inside a cave. It would have been dangerous if that had been discovered by the outside world.
BOOM! BOOM!
While he was cultivating, Qin Chen felt the blood energy throughout his body circulating. A powerful energy surged in his body, increasing his strength significantly.
After successfully opening his divine sea, and entering the first human body realm – Yiyuan Realm, Qin Chen officially became a cultivator.
He was no longer a mortal, but a cultivator who could defy the heavens.
Qin Chen was elated. One day, he would finally be able to become a true cultivator who could defy the heavens.
If he cultivated to a high level, he would be able to fly in the sky, burrow into the ground and do many other great things. He might even reach the levels of the ancient great emperors.
Qin Chen continued to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra without ceasing.
After a day and night of cultivation, he finally stopped. He did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and full of energy, as if he could kill a scaled dragon with a single punch.
He was not afraid of being discovered because the system could conceal everything. Even the Holy Lord would not notice that Qin Chen had successfully opened his divine sea.
When he returned to the handyman yard, everything was as per normal. The elder in charge of the handyman yard and other handyman disciples did not notice that Qin Chen had disappeared for a full day and night.
Taiyi Holy Land was just too big. Each sweeper handyman was responsible for a large area that could take ten days or even half a month to finish. As long as their areas were sufficiently clean, the handyman elders could not be bothered.
That was exactly what Qin Chen wanted. After all, it would be normal for him to disappear for a few days while cultivating.
When he returned, it was already dark.
His residence was a small wooden house, and there was another old handyman inside drinking wine.
The old handyman was already more than 70 years old. Although lacking in talent, he was still an Yiyuan Realm cultivator who had opened his divine sea. So he could, to a certain extent, extend his life. Therefore, he only looked 40 or 50 years old.
Since Qin Chen arrived more than a year ago, the old handyman had taken good care of him, and never laughed at him.
He was eating and drinking wine at that moment. It was one of the few pleasures he had.
"Senior."
Qin Chen went forward to greet the old handyman. They sat down together, lifted their bowls and started to eat.
The food was provided by Taiyi Holy Land's food court. It was made of some herbs and contained just a bit of spiritual energy, which was beneficial to the body. Of course, that was mainly meant for the ordinary disciples.
The old handyman was eating, when he suddenly looked at Qin Chen in surprise. The fallen prince looked different that day. He had grown a little taller and his eyes were bright. Something had definitely changed.
Could he have succeeded in opening his Divine Sea?
However, when he examined carefully, he did not sense the aura of a divine sea.
The old handyman sighed softly. He was thinking too much.
Qin Chen glanced at the old handyman. He knew that there was no need to worry about the old handyman's actions. With the system's concealment, even the Holy Lord would not be able to detect anything, let alone an old Yiyuan Realm handyman.
He could not tell anyone about his ability to cultivate, the old handyman included.
Once he was exposed, it would not just be a question of whether he would be able to cultivate. It would also expose the Chaotic Holy Body and even the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
An ordinary man is innocent, but guilty if he possesses treasure!
He believed that many super experts in that world would be willing to fight tooth and nail for the Chaotic Holy Body and Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
The two handymen had a simple chat and ended it there.
The next day, Qin Chen did not go to Taiyi Main Hall because it would be suspicious if a handyman disciple appeared two days in a row. Instead, he went to a waterfall where official disciples of the holy land cultivated. He could sense that the spiritual energy there was rich.
The waterfall was three thousand feet high, producing clouds of mist. Cranes soared in the sky, and spirit deer galloped. It was a fairyland-like scene.
There were many official disciples cultivating in front of the waterfall, absorbing spiritual energy.
Many of them were the same age as Qin Chen, and had already opened up their divine sea. Some were even in the Liangyi Realm, which was considered outstanding at that age.
"Oh, it's the fallen prince."
"What prince? Don't forget, he's been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty and is no longer a prince."
"If I were the Great Qin Dynasty, I would not want to acknowledge such a useless mortal as a prince either."
When those official disciples saw that Qin Chen had arrived, they merely shot him an indifferent glance. They were somewhat arrogant.
After all, they were official disciples who had opened up their divine seas and embarked on the true path of cultivation. In future, they would be reaching the Sancai Realm, with hopes of even becoming experts of the Sixiang Realm, doing magnificent things. On the other hand, handyman disciples of that sort often had no hope of cultivating in their entire lives.
Even if they could cultivate, they would only be able to reach the Yiyuan Realm at most. If they were lucky, they might even reach Liangyi Realm. But that was it.
The gap between them would only grow wider over time!
However, they could not help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at that divine dynasty prince. They should have been looking up to him. But now he was just a handyman disciple, looking up to them instead.
Qin Chen took note of the disciples' expressions, but did not say anything. He had already gotten used to it.
Moreover, he was now able to cultivate, and was even the successor to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor with the Chaotic Holy Body. He was destined to rise from the dust. His heart had suddenly opened, and he could not be bothered to argue with those people.
Low-key cultivation was the way to go.
Suddenly, a young lady in a long white dress appeared. She had an oval face, and her skin was as white as snow. She was 28 years old. The lady was extremely beautiful and attracted the attention of all the disciples present.
"Oh my God, it's Senior Ling Ran. Even she has come here!"

Breaking! 1
The appearance of the girl in white had attracted the attention of all the disciples who were present. They began to discuss among themselves.
"Senior Ling Ran won the favor of the current Holy Lord, and he personally took her in as his direct disciple. I've heard that her physique is extraordinary. It's the legendary King Body. At the age of 13, she had already reached the Liangyi Realm. And in the past three years, she has probably reached the Sancai Realm already."
"I heard she already reached the Sancai Realm three months ago. There aren't many disciples of the same generation who are at that realm in the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, not to mention Senior Ling Ran is only 16 years old this year. We're the same age, but she's already a powerful cultivator in the Sancai Realm. She really puts us to shame."
"Soon, the holy land will be selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter. With Senior Ling Ran's talent and age, she has a high chance of being selected!"
Many of the disciples spoke in quiet voices. They looked towards Ling Ran, the Holy Lord's direct disciple, all of them envious.
She had the legendary King Body, superb talent, and was the direct disciple of the incumbent Holy Lord. She definitely had a high chance of succeeding the current Holy Daughter.
Qin Chen could not help but glance at Ling Ran. Her beauty was indeed out of this world. Her every move exhibited a different kind of charm, and she seemed to be one with heaven and earth.
Moreover, to have reached the Sancai Realm at that age, she must be very strong.
One had to understand that each of the 10 major realms in the cultivation world were as different as heaven and earth.
Opening the divine sea, entering the Yiyuan Realm and officially becoming a cultivator was merely the starting point.
Any Yiyuan Realm cultivator would have the strength of tens of thousands of pounds. In the mortal world, one could become the most powerful general, far exceeding ordinary people.
Entering the Liangyi Realm meant that one had the ability to fly in the air and burrow underground. In the mortal world, many would consider the person immortal.
Upon reaching the Sancai Realm, the cultivator's spiritual wisdom would be greatly broadened, and he or she would begin to understand the spirits. The cultivator would be able to split mountains and cleave stones, with terrifying strength.
...
The increase in abilities from one major realm to another was not as simple as one plus one.
If not for the system, Qin Chen would not have been able to open his divine sea, let alone possess the Chaotic Holy Body.
Ling Ran was about the same age, but had already reached the Sancai Realm. Among the numerous disciples in Taiyi Holy Land, she was definitely outstanding. She had even been accepted as the direct disciple of the Taiyi Holy Lord in advance. Her future prospects were limitless.
Before he had gotten the system, he would have had to look up to her, as if she was a cherished daughter of heaven.
Ling Ran had a cold expression. Wherever she went, the other disciples made way. But she did not stay there. Soon after, she rode on a long rainbow and left through the sky, leaving her beautiful backview.
"What a pity. I thought Senior Ling Ran would be cultivating here."
"You were over optimistic. Senior Ling Ran is a direct disciple of the Holy Lord and a candidate for Holy Daughter. She receives a special supply of spirit stones for cultivation every month, and has her own personal cultivation cave. She doesn't need to work so hard to cultivate like us ordinary disciples."
As a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, and a candidate for Holy Daughter, naturally her treatment was different from the rest. She had a personal cultivation cave and spirit stones given to her for cultivation.
Qin Chen briefly glanced at the beautiful figure of the Holy Daughter candidate Ling Ran as she left, before immediately saying silently, "System, I want to check in here!"
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded 100 exotic spirit stones – Purple Crystals.]
In the system space, 100 different types of Purple Crystals appeared. As exotic spirit stones, each one was equivalent to 30 pounds of spirit stones. In total, they were equivalent to 3,000 pounds of spirit stones.
"What a pity, such a small amount of spirit stones."
Qin Chen mumbled in disappointment. Compared to the Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall, it was almost a hundred times worse.
However, it made sense. Taiyi Main Hall had been built on the intersection of past dragon vessels and origin vessels. Plus, its terrain was extraordinary. The place he was at was merely a cultivation location for ordinary disciples. Getting 3,000 pounds worth of spirit stones in exotic Purple Crystals was already pretty good.
If the other disciples found out, they would certainly be appalled.
Because they were only allocated a spirit stone the size of a baby's fist each month – not even half a pound.
Even Ling Ran, a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, as well as many other elders, could only obtain up to 1,000 pounds of spirit stones a month.
Yet, he had looked down on his large number of spirit stones. He should be ashamed.
After that, Qin Chen returned to the hidden cave. This time, he took out the exotic spirit stones to cultivate. He operated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and continuously devoured spiritual energy from the exotic spirit stones, transforming them into his own divine power. His cultivation was steadily improving.
Before he realized it, a month had passed since Qin Chen first obtained the check-in system.
The place with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor's footprint was being heavily monitored by the holy land. And Taiyi Main Hall was not a place he could casually visit. So during that period of time, Qin Chen had basically checked in to various small places nearby. Of course, the divinity of those places were far inferior to those at Taiyi Main Hall and the place with the emperor's mark, and so were the check-in rewards he received.
As for other places that might contain powerful divinity, they were either important or forbidden areas within the holy land, not places that ordinary people could set foot on.
Furthermore, those places were far away. Therefore, before Qin Chen had reached a sufficiently high cultivation level, he did not dare to take the risk.
Even so, by checking in, Qin Chen had earned heaps of spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, precious medicine, extraordinary materials for the forging of weapons, and so on.
If information about those treasures were to get out, it would be enough to make the elders of Taiyi Holy Land – even the supreme elders – green with envy.
After a month of cultivation, the 100 Purple Crystals had been completely exhausted.

Breaking in Two Years! 2
In a short amount of time, Qin Chen had leapt from level one of the Yiyuan Realm to level eight, and finally reached the peak of Yiyuan – level nine.
Next, was the Liangyi Realm.
If word of his progression got out, it would definitely shock the world.
In just a month, Qin Chen had gone from mortal to the peak of Yiyuan Realm. Such cultivation speed was rare.
But it was actually expected for Qin Chen, as long as he had sufficient spirit stones. This was because he had the Divine Spirit Source, lots of exotic spirit stones, and the strongest physique – Chaotic Holy Body, paired with the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
After all, people with that kind of physique could break all sorts of ancient cultivation records, if they wanted to.
And at the early stage, one could break through those cultivation realms by spirit stones alone.
Of course, Qin Chen did not disclose any of that. He knew very well that people would leave an ordinary man alone, but target one who held anything of value.
As soon as other people found out that he had become a peak Yiyuan Realm cultivator, moreover with the Chaotic Holy Body, and had even mastered the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, countless forces would be fighting over him. Even the elderly might be tempted to leap up from their deathbeds to take over his body, just to obtain that Chaotic Holy Body. He had to be cautious.
Fortunately, the system was able to hide his aura. Even when the Holy Lord, elders and other important figures occasionally passed by him, they had not noticed the changes in Qin Chen.
One should note that even though Taiyi Holy Land had declined, its elders were still great cultivators of the Sixiang and Wuxing Realms. The Holy Lord was even a super expert of the Liuhe Realm, far stronger than Qin Chen currently.
Since even they had not discovered anything, Qin Chen felt a lot more at ease.
One day, Qin Chen went to an elder's mountain to clean. He sensed divinity there and decided to check in.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge, Heaven Shaking Hand.]
"A heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge!" Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. As cultivation techniques existed in that world, naturally, supernormal knowledge spells existed too. They were divided into heaven, earth, black and yellow grades, with heaven being the highest and yellow the lowest. Those were then further divided into three stages – beginner, intermediate and advanced.
The higher the level of supernormal knowledge, the greater one could exhibit his powers.
He had obtained the supernormal knowledge Heaven Shaking Hand, and it was even a heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge. One could imagine how powerful it was.
In the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, there were only a few heaven-grade supernormal knowledges.
When he arrived back, Qin Chen started cultivating Heaven Shaking Hand immediately, as expected.
As a heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge, Heaven Shaking Hand was truly infinitely mysterious.
Even with his Chaotic Holy Body and superb talent, it took Qin Chen half a month to barely grasp the basics of Heaven Shaking Hand.
If it were anyone else from the Liangyi or even Sancai Realm, not to mention the Yiyuan Realm, they would not have successfully cultivated it.
That was the amazing thing about the Chaotic Holy Body.
BOOM!
With a thunderous sound, Qin Chen unleashed Heaven Shaking Hand in an empty valley, slapping a cliff beside him. The frightening power generated punched a large cave right into the cliff, which showed his amazing strength.
However, it also exhausted almost all of Qin Chen's divine power.
Because the consumption for that sort of heaven-grade supernormal knowledge was simply massive.
Qin Chen took in the scene before him, as he gasped for breath. He was very satisfied with the power of Heaven Shaking Hand. When used with his peak Yiyuan Realm cultivation, he could kill normal Liangyi Realm cultivators, and even pose a threat to powerful cultivators of the Sancai Realm.
He had essentially earned a life-saving trump card.
For the rest of the time, Qin Chen kept checking in at various places within Taiyi Holy Land.
Due to his rudimentary cultivation, he could only check in at nearby places. Those places were neither important or forbidden, so the rewards were not particularly good either. But he was able to obtain lots of spirit stones, exotic spirit stones, precious medicines, secret techniques, and so on. His harvest was plentiful.
Time passed quietly. Without realizing it, two years had passed since Qin Chen's first check-in.
He was now an 18-year-old youth. He was tall and handsome. His eyes shone brightly like the stars, and his nose bridge was high and sharp. In addition, his Chaotic Holy Body was in harmony with heaven and earth. He had an exceptional disposition, just like an ancient great emperor in his youth.
Of course, when facing the outside world, Qin Chen always hid his true appearance and cultivation.
In the past two years, after consuming the Divine Spirit Source and enough spirit stones to fill an ocean, he had reached the peak of the Sancai Realm.
In an immortal holy land at its peak, not to mention a declining land like Taiyi Holy Land, a Sancai Realm cultivator would already be considered a core disciple.
In general, even if a person was recruited into a holy land to cultivate from young, he or she would only be able to enter the Sancai Realm after the age of 20.
However, Qin Chen was only 18. It had taken him just two years to reach the peak of Sancai Realm. He was definitely a rare animal.
Next, was the Sixiang Realm.
After entering the Sixiang Realm, a person's physical fitness would be upgraded to the next level. In a declining holy land like Taiyi Holy Land, that person would already be qualified to take on the position of ordinary elder.
"After two years of cultivation, I've finally reached the peak of Sancai Realm. I can definitely be called a core disciple in Taiyi Holy Land now. If the holy land finds out, I'm afraid many supreme elders and even the Holy Lord himself might take me in as a direct disciple," Qin Chen muttered to himself. Having cultivated until the peak of the Sancai Realm, he had an exceptional disposition and natural charm.
But his ambition did not end there.
Now that he had accumulated enough, he could enter the Sixiang Realm immediately.
Once he entered the realm, the Chaotic Holy Body – the number one physique in the universe – would show its true, heaven-defying nature for the first time.
However, it was the Dharma-ending Age and cultivation was difficult. As soon as someone broke through the Liuhe Realm, heaven and earth would be triggered, and heavenly tribulations would descend upon the world.
Even more so for Qin Chen, who had the Chaotic Holy Body. He was a rare animal. If he broke through the Sixiang Realm, the appearance of terrifying heavenly tribulations was inevitable.
Qin Chen had long accumulated enough at the Sancai Realm. He also had a large amount of exotic spirit stones, Divine Spirit Source, precious medicine and so on, which he was preparing to use to get through the tribulations.
Of course, he could not break through in Taiyi Holy Land. Otherwise, he would attract great attention.
Qin Chen quietly left Taiyi Holy Land. It had declined after all, so the cultivators guarding the gate were not very strong. They were only in the Liangyi Realm. With the Chaotic Holy Body's ability to cross boundaries and battle immortals, the guards did not even notice his departure.
When he was sufficiently far from Taiyi Holy Land, he started to shed his disguise. He was as handsome as jade. And as he stepped into the air, he looked like a rainbow across the sky.
In the Liangyi Realm, one could start walking in the air. In the Sancai Realm, you could walk more freely and relaxed, just like how mortals saw immortals, flying through clouds and mist with ease.
Qin Chen was 100,000 miles away from Taiyi Holy Land. He chose a wilderness far from human habitation to undergo his tribulation.
BOOM! BOOM!
Qin Chen began to break through, and step into the Sixiang Realm.
Terrifying heavenly tribulations descended from the sky. One after another, the heavenly tribulations spoken about in legends descended, bombarding Qin Chen.
Qin Chen had the strength of the Chaotic Holy Body. His physique was peerless among those in the same realm. It was even comparable to that of an Wuxing Realm grandmaster. Yet, his skin and flesh split open until his bones became visible, and torrents of golden blood shot into the sky.
However, Qin Chen was prepared. He unleashed Heaven Shaking Hand, Chaotic Vitality Heavenly Dipper, and other incredible supernormal knowledges he had obtained from checking in, all to protect himself against the heavenly tribulations.
Loads and loads of spirit stones gushed out from the system space. He devoured every one of them, converted them into a massive amount of energy, and absorbed the energy into his body for recovery.
Following that, was all kinds of valuable exotic spirit stones.
Finally, the Divine Spirit Source appeared.
After a long time, the ten-sided mountain range below had been bombarded by the terrifying heavenly tribulations into a scorched wasteland. Then, the heavenly tribulations finally dispersed.
Qin Chen was covered in blood. He did not know how many bones and tendons he had broken. He had finally successfully undergone the tribulations, and become a powerful cultivator of the Sixiang Realm.

In the Blink of an Eye, I've Become a Grandmaster!
In Taiyi Holy Land, cultivators in the Sixiang Realm were already considered the top few masters. They could split mountains and cleave stones, engage wild beasts in close combat, and were qualified to take on elder positions.
Many core disciples never even reached that level.
Qin Chen took out a bottle of precious pills from the system space and swallowed them. Immediately, visible to the naked eye, his injuries started to heal rapidly until he was back to his peak.
The movement of energy had shaken the surrounding areas, causing many strong wild beasts in the desolate mountains to submit to its power.
After feeling the power of the force, Qin Chen was quite satisfied.
After two years of cultivation, he had finally entered the Sixiang Realm. From that moment on, he could be considered an expert.
In Taiyi Holy Land, besides the elders, not many disciples had reached the Sixiang Realm.
Even in an immortal divine dynasty like the Great Qin Dynasty, very few princes and princesses could reach the Sixiang Realm before the age of 20. All who did were given special attention, richly nurtured and regarded as strong contenders for Imperial Lord in the future.
In other words, Qin Chen, the forsaken prince banished from the imperial family, had already surpassed many princes and princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Of course, Qin Chen was aware of the dangers of the world. Sixiang Realm cultivators were considered experts in the mortal world, even in some small sects. But compared to immortal heritages like ancient families, immortal holy lands and ancient dynasties, they were still considered weak.
Those kinds of immortal heritages had Liuhe Realm great grandmasters, and even Qiyao Realm peerless kings.
When Qin Chen returned to Taiyi Holy Land, he continued to keep everything under wraps.
After two years, he felt that it was about time, so he headed to Taiyi Main Hall again.
Suddenly, as he was preparing to check in, an extremely beautiful woman appeared. She had silky smooth skin and unrivaled beauty. There was a unique coldness about her, and she exuded a powerful aura. She was already at level nine of Sancai.
It was Ling Ran from before. She had long become the Holy Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land.
A handsome young man walked out alongside her. He was Zhao Yi, the Holy Son of Taiyi Holy Land. He was also at level nine of Sancai.
As the incumbent Holy Son and Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land, they had been richly nurtured by the entire holy land. Therefore, it made sense for them to have reached the peak of the Sancai Realm when they were still only Qin Chen's age.
When they appeared, Ling Ran glanced at Qin Chen, as if surprised that a handyman disciple would be there. On the other hand, Holy Son Zhao Yi completely ignored Qin Chen. He only smiled as he spoke with Ling Ran, and they left together.
After them, quite a number of official disciples walked out one after another. They looked at the well-matched Holy Son and Daughter with envy and said, "As expected of Taiyi Holy Land's Holy Son and Daughter. They've both reached level nine of Sancai. In the next two years, I believe they'll enter the Sixiang Realm, and be able to compete with the top talents of the Southern Desolate Lands."
"That's right. They've already reached level nine of Sancai at the age of 18. They are some of the top talents in history. Especially the Holy Daughter. She's already at the peak of Sancai, and will probably enter the Sixiang Realm in half a year."
"The Holy Daughter is extremely talented. It's said that she has the Zixia Body, which is almost as good as the legendary Innate Dao Fetus!"
"Back then, the Holy Lord paid a huge price to fight for the Holy Daughter to join Taiyi Holy Land!"
The group of official disciples left, having similarly ignored Qin Chen completely.
Qin Chen calmly watched them leave. Two years to reach level nine of Sancai. Such cultivation speed was considered very fast, comparable even to the major King Bodies of the world.
Of course, it was nothing compared to his. He had a check-in system, which allowed him to advance from mortal to Sixiang Realm monster in two years.
However, the fact that Ling Ran had the Zixia Body, was indeed unexpected.
The Zixia Body was a legendary King Body. It was comparable to the Divine Body, Underworld King Body, Sun Divine Body, as well as other King Bodies. Upon mastery of it, the cultivator would become a sovereign venerable.
Of course, it was still far inferior to his Chaotic Holy Body.
"System, I want to check in here!"
Qin Chen quietly uttered in his heart.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Human King Seal.]
Qin Chen was quite surprised. Over the past two years, he had checked in at Taiyi Main Hall no less than ten times. As time passed, the rewards from places he could repeatedly check in to got worse and worse. He did not expect to obtain a powerful supernormal knowledge like the Human King Seal this time.
That supernormal knowledge was a heaven-grade advanced supernormal knowledge.
After cultivating to the Sixiang Realm, Qin Chen's strength had increased greatly. It was easier for him to travel to other places within Taiyi Holy Land. 10,000 miles a day was no issue at all. As a result, he could check in to a lot more important places.
When he checked in in front of the Holy Lord's mountain, he had obtained Taiyi Holy Land's legendary supernormal knowledge, Taiyi Holy Technique.
When he checked in in front of the ancient herb garden, he obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Precious Medicine.
When he checked in at the holy land's deepest ancestral land, Void Abyss, he obtained the Ancient Void Technique.
...
It was only then that Qin Chen realized, although Taiyi Holy Land appeared to be a declining immortal holy land, it still contained countless historical remains. Furthermore, many ancient great emperors had clearly left their marks there.
When he checked in to various places within Taiyi Holy Land, he had actually successively obtained several imperial technique supernormal knowledges which were higher than heaven-grade. They had all come from ancient great emperors, or primordial emperors.
Qin Chen suspected that Taiyi Holy Land had been an ancient great emperor's place of enlightenment in the primordial era. It was just that the long period of time had eroded everything away, causing most of the traces of the former great emperor to disappear. Taiyi Holy Land was extremely lucky to have been built on the remains of such a great emperor.
No wonder even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had set foot there.
Qin Chen checked in and obtained countless treasures without stopping. His cultivation also improved continuously by leaps and bounds. He kept leaving Taiyi Holy Land in search of the wilderness, in order to undergo tribulations and upgrade.
In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed.
It was Qin Chen's 10th year of checking in.
He was now a 26-year-old young man. During that period, he had kept a low profile and did not display the slightest bit of talent in cultivation. He only showed a passable level of martial arts cultivation, and continued to sweep all around the sect.
Of course, he would also take such opportunities to secretly check in at various important and forbidden places.
In the past few years, Qin Chen had actually witnessed many handyman disciples work hard to secretly watch and learn cultivation from the official disciples. They hoped to also one day step onto the path of cultivation. However, they had not succeeded.
Those who had been assessed and assigned to become handyman disciples had very ordinary talent, and very slim hopes.
On the other hand, Qin Chen was calm. If he had not received the system, he would definitely have hoped to become an official disciple. He might even have behaved like the other handyman disciples. After all, he had heard so many mysterious and wonderful things before transmigrating from earth. He had also hoped to cultivate to become an immortal.
But he was no longer the same person. After checking in for 10 years, he had entered the fifth realm, the Wuxing Realm.
That's right, the Wuxing Realm. He could now be called a grandmaster.
Any cultivator who had reached the Wuxing Realm could become a grandmaster. In an immortal holy land at its peak, ancient family or ancient dynasty, he would definitely qualify as an elder. It was a position everyone aimed for.
In those ten years, Qin Chen had obtained countless pills, precious medicine, spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, secret techniques, and so on. With his heaven-defying Chaotic Holy Body and the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, his cultivation had advanced at a tremendous pace. Liangyi in one month, Sancai in three years, Sixiang in four years, and Wuxing in six years.
Four years ago, he had reached the Wuxing Realm and become a grandmaster.
Today, he was now already at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. He was one of the top great cultivators in the entire Taiyi Holy Land. Only the Holy Lord who had entered the Liuhe Realm, as well as any old fogeys who might be hiding their abilities, could defeat him. No one else was his match.
Taiyi Holy Land was merely a declining holy land, after all. How many Liuhe Realm grandmasters could it possibly have? It was far inferior to ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces that were currently at their peaks.
Moreover, the Chaotic Holy Body was undefeatable among others of the same level. It also had the power to slash immortals and cross many small realms to battle.
For example, at level one of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen could easily defeat those at levels seven, eight, and even nine of the Wuxing Realm.
That was the amazing thing about the Chaotic Holy Body.
Having cultivated until level nine of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen was confident of crushing a regular Liuhe Realm great grandmaster easily.
But even after reaching that level of cultivation, Qin Chen still had not exposed himself. He did not even have the slightest intention of doing that.
He knew how scary the cultivation world was. The so-called Wuxing Realm grandmasters might be the most invincible in the mortal world, or even in numerous small sects. However, they were far behind ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces.
As the former 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother previously one of the most powerful figures around, Qin Chen knew a lot despite being a mortal.
Those immortal heritages were not like Taiyi Holy Land, where Wuxing Realm grandmasters could become supreme elders. Only Liuhe Realm great grandmasters qualified. Furthermore, their imperial lords, holy lords and family heads were all Qiyao Realm kings. Some were even Bahuang Realm venerables.
Within the insanely strong Canglan Continent, cultivators in the Wuxing Realm were merely considered small cultivators. So Qin Chen had to be careful.
Qin Chen was very steady and cautious. He thought that he should be careful even after reaching the Liuhe Realm.
That day, as Qin Chen was sweeping the floor, he saw many disciples flying across the sky like rainbows.
He heard the conversation among some of them as they passed by. "The Holy Son and Daughter have gone to the Demon Sealing Land to explore. Let's go take a look!"

Breaking Into Demon Sealing Land, Passing Easily
"Oh my God, is that true? Someone is finally venturing into Demon Sealing Land after so many years!"
"Demon Sealing Land is the ultimate hurdle for all disciples in the holy land. It's said to be a cultivation trial ground left by a great venerable of Taiyi Holy Land in the ancient times. It contains that great venerable's opportunity!"
"I wonder if the Holy Son and Daughter can break through Demon Sealing Land?"
...
A large number of disciples rushed to Demon Sealing Land. Many elders followed behind.
When he heard that, Qin Chen's expression instantly changed.
He knew about Demon Sealing Land, of course. It was a cultivation trial ground belonging to Taiyi Holy Land.
It was rumored that in the ancient times, when Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak, there was a great venerable who was more powerful than anyone else in the entire Southern Desolate Lands.
That great venerable's cultivation was unparalleled. He had reached the legendary Bahuang Realm and was invincible.
When the great venerable was traversing the world, he once fought with a demonic venerable for hegemony. They engaged in an earth-shattering battle, until the blood shed was enough to cover 100,000 mountains and rivers.
After fighting for three days and three nights, the great venerable of Taiyi Holy Land eventually killed the demonic venerable and brought him back to Taiyi Holy Land. Using venerable techniques ahead of his generation, he created a cultivation trial ground in the holy land. That place was now Demon Sealing Land.
It was left specially for future generations of disciples, to venture in and gain experience.
Moreover, a colossal opportunity left by the great venerable was rumored to be sealed inside. There were even rumors that it was the great venerable's inheritance, as well as his weapon. But it could only be obtained by passing through Demon Sealing Land.
However, tens of thousands of years had passed, and no disciple of Taiyi Holy Land had managed to pass through Demon Sealing Land.
Because there was a restriction in place. Only disciples below 100 years old were allowed to enter. In addition, they needed to at least be at the Wuxing Realm to mount a real challenge.
That point alone had eliminated more than 90% of the people in Taiyi Holy Land. Only a few elders and the Holy Lord qualified.
However, the Holy Lord and elders were part of the older generation. They were not permitted to venture in. They could only enter if a disciple successfully passed through.
In recent years, no one had succeeded in breaking in. All the more because Taiyi Holy Land had already been in decline for many years.
As a result, Demon Sealing Land had been covered in dust for many years. As for the colossal opportunity left by the great venerable, Taiyi Holy Land was simply willing but unable to accept it.
Qin Chen also headed to Demon Sealing Land. When he arrived, fearsome sounds of battle reverberated from the abyss-like Demon Sealing Land. Occasionally, streams of rainbow lights shot into the sky. That was the power of the Wuxing Realm, tearing through the air. It was petrifying.
The large group of disciples did not dare to go close. Even some of the weaker elders did not dare to as well.
"They have already reached the second stage. As expected of the Holy Son and Daughter. They are indeed impressive. We wouldn't even be able to pass the first stage ourselves!"
"Each person is different, there's no point in comparing!"
"To be able to become the Holy Son and Daughter, of course they must be extraordinary!"
Qin Chen did not stand too close. But he had obtained the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye a few years ago, so he could view all the battles in Demon Sealing Land.
Holy Daughter Ling Ran and Holy Son Zhao Yi were being besieged by huge demonic shadows as they passed through. The demonic shadows had the combat strength of level one of Wuxing Realm. And there were more than ten of them, which was very shocking.
The two of them showed extraordinary cultivation. Those were definitely the abilities of cultivators at the Wuxing Realm.
Holy Son Zhao Yi was at level one of the Wuxing Realm. Holy Daughter Ling Ran was at level three of the Wuxing Realm, much stronger than Zhao Yi.
As Holy Daughter Ling Ran was more powerful, sword energy filled the sky whenever she performed her swordsmanship. She quickly destroyed and annihilated the demonic shadows.
Very quickly, the numerous demonic shadows in the second stage were completely eliminated. The two of them had passed the stage successfully.
In the third stage, 32 demonic shadows with the strength of level three of the Wuxing Realm appeared. They started attacking the two.
Soon, Holy Son Zhao Yi flew out. He was drenched in blood and looked extremely embarrassed.
His face was pale. If he had run a little slower, he might have died there.
Now only Holy Daughter Ling Ran, who was also at level three of the Wuxing Realm, was left trying to break through.
Holy Daughter Ling Ran was clearly stronger. After all, she had the legendary Zixia Body. Wisps of bright purple clouds surrounded her body, just like the Empress Ziwei, as she fought the numerous demonic shadows.
BOOM!
After a long time, with a thunderous sound, Ling Ran's figure soared into the sky from Demon Sealing Land. Her figure was still slender and beautiful, but there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
She had failed to break through.
Many sighed in disappointment.
Several elders also sighed a little. In so many years, Ling Ran was the first holy land disciple to have gone that far. Unfortunately, her cultivation level was still not high enough.
From a distance, Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran in surprise too. She had actually made it to the fourth stage. She was indeed incredible.
The demonic shadows in the fourth stage had strength comparable to level five of the Wuxing Realm. They were much stronger, and there were 72 of them. Even with the legendary Zixia Body, Ling Ran was destined to fail.
However, just reaching that stage had proved how powerful Ling Ran was.
Even though the elders had sighed, they also praised Ling Ran, saying she would definitely be able to clear the Demon Sealing Land in less than 20 years.
No one noticed that Qin Chen had been looking at the Demon Sealing Land, deep in thought.
...
Late at night.
Qin Chen took the opportunity to go to Demon Sealing Land when no one was around.
A daunting abyss came into view. It was Demon Sealing Land.
Just then, Qin Chen leapt into it and hung in the air.
Immediately, endless amounts of demonic fog appeared in the abyss. Huge demonic shadows more than 100 feet tall emerged, one after another. They were ferocious, with a powerful aura, and charged towards Qin Chen at lightning speed.
The demonic shadows had all reached the Sixiang Realm. They were very powerful.
Qin Chen was aware of how the demonic shadows came about. Back then, the great venerable had fused the Demon King he had killed together with an array, creating the demonic shadows which were then used to train future generations.
His expression did not change. Incredibly powerful golden blood energy burst from his Chaotic Holy Body, pouring down like the Nine Heaven Divine Furnace. The massive amount of golden blood energy, with supreme tough and supreme yang characteristics, drowned everything in sight. It incinerated the demonic shadows one by one, annihilating them.
In the blink of an eye, he had passed the first stage!
It could not be helped. The blood energy of the Chaotic Holy Body was too strong. It was also supremely tough and supremely yang. The demonic shadows, on the other hand, were supremely yin and supremely evil. So they had been greatly restrained.
Getting rid of the first 12 demonic shadows was only the first stage.
There was a total of five stages in Demon Sealing Land. The first stage had 12 demonic shadows, second stage 24 demonic shadows, third stage 36 demonic shadows, fourth stage 72 demonic shadows, and fifth stage 108 demonic shadows.
Very quickly, 24 demonic shadows appeared. They were as powerful as those at level one of the Wuxing Realm.
The demonic shadows at each stage were more powerful than the last, and also greater in number.
That was why for many years, Taiyi Holy Land had never had a disciple make it through Demon Sealing Land.
Qin Chen continued to release blood energy that was as strong as the sun. The demonic shadows, comparable to level one of the Wuxing Realm, were easily defeated and killed.
They did not stand a chance. Not only was the blood energy of the Chaotic Holy Body extremely powerful, he was also a powerful cultivator of level nine of the Wuxing Realm.

Breaking Through Demon Sealing Land, Earning an Invincible Divine Weapon!
He had passed two stages easily.
Not long after, 36 demonic shadows appeared. They were all comparable to level three of the Wuxing Realm, much more powerful than before.
Not many in Taiyi Holy Land could pass through the demonic shadows of the third stage.
Ling Ran was the only known disciple of the holy land who could pass through.
Even with Qin Chen's powerful golden blood energy, the demonic shadows could not be extinguished immediately. The demonic shadows roared and charged towards him. However, when their attacks landed on his body, there was merely a clanging sound. That was because his body was peerless. He had the Chaotic Holy Body and was unbelievably powerful.
Qin Chen only utilized his absolutely powerful Chaotic Holy Body. He could not even be bothered to use supernormal knowledge. Very quickly, each punch he threw blew up a demonic shadow at level three of the Wuxing Realm. They were turned into pitch-black demonic fog, then burned up by blood energy.
The third stage was still relatively easy for him, partly due to his innate restraint.
At the fourth stage, 72 powerful demonic shadows appeared. Demonic energy shot into the sky as they charged towards Qin Chen.
Those 72 demonic shadows had the frightening ability of level seven of the Wuxing Realm.
Even with Ling Ran's Zixia Body and ability to fight across realms, she stood no chance.
Qin Chen let out a loud roar, which reverberated through the entire abyss. He started operating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. The five major realms – Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang and Wuxing – were all shining within his body. His powerful golden blood energy was radiating light, as his five internal organs chanted the sutra. It looked like his limbs were going to transform into four Heavenly Divine Pillars, and his spine to a Nine Heaven Divine Dragon.
He was clearly at level nine of the Wuxing Realm, but Qin Chen's Chaotic Holy Body exuded an aura far beyond that. His might was not the slightest bit inferior to that of a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster.
In particular, the Chaotic Holy Body was supremely tough and supremely yang, which restrained demons.
Like a heavenly dragon, he bombarded a punch, instantly blowing up a demonic shadow.
The demonic shadow was just a product of an array, after all. It was not a real expert at level seven of the Wuxing Realm. The difference was significant.
Then, Qin Chen threw a second punch, third punch, one punch after another. Each punch seemed like a meteorite falling to the ground, containing unimaginable power. They annihilated each and every demonic shadow and turned them into ashes.
In the end, all 72 demonic shadows were killed.
He had successfully passed the fourth stage!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the last stage, 108 demonic shadows appeared. They were all comparable to level nine of the Wuxing Realm.
Even a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster might not be able to pass through 108 demonic shadows at level nine of the Wuxing Realm.
Qin Chen strode over. His Chaotic Holy Body was unparalleled. He unleashed blood energy from every area of his body and attacked with all his might.
It was the first time he was fighting at full strength since obtaining the system.
With the Chaotic Holy Body's formidable offensive powers, he was already on par with a great grandmaster of the Liuhe Realm.
He employed all kinds of supernormal knowledge he had obtained from checking in to fight the 108 level nine Wuxing demonic shadows. For example, the Taiyi Holy Technique, Ancient Void Technique, Human King Seal, and so on.
In the process, fresh golden blood splashed out. But he recovered quickly. Besides, the demonic shadows did not really exist, so they could not withstand as much as a true level nine Wuxing.
In the end, all 108 demonic shadows were slaughtered.
Within the abyss, the demonic energy had been completely eradicated, leaving only Qin Chen. He stood upright like a god, and descended into the deepest part of the abyss.
The bottom of the pitch-black abyss was a big land covered in demonic blood. A hill stood there in desolate silence.
A large halberd had been left on the hill.
The halberd pierced the ground. After tens of thousands of years, there was no sign of decay, and it still contained some kind of immortal divinity. It looked like an invincible divine weapon.
As soon as Qin Chen arrived, a majestic figure appeared on the hill. An aura as grand and majestic as the ocean instantly filled the air, causing the air to tremble. It caused him to become breathless, as if he was being pinned down by a mountain.
He was getting prepared to face a great enemy, but soon realized that it was not a real person. It was an impression.
Qin Chen had seen portraits of great Taiyi Holy Lords throughout history in the Sutra Depository. He quickly recognized the figure. Wasn't that the great venerable of the holy land who had ruled over the Southern Desolate Lands in the past?
"Congratulations, you have passed my test. Your ability to pass the test of Demon Sealing Land before 100 years old proves your immense talent. In future, you will be carrying out the important tasks of Taiyi Holy Land. I hope that when that day comes, you will live up to the holy land's high hopes for you. You will help the holy land defeat all evil and lead it to greater heights!"
"This is the weapon I used to conquer the world in the past. I hope that in your hands, they will one day be able to completely regain their former glory!"
The great venerable's impression looked at him and said.
Qin Chen looked at the figure solemnly. He knew that the impression could not see him, but replied with sincerity, "Senior, I am just a sweeper handyman. I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to lead Taiyi Holy Land to the top. But I guarantee that as long as I am alive, I will do everything I can to protect it. I will not let it be destroyed!"
As if he had heard Qin Chen, the impression left by the great venerable smiled, and then dissipated.
Qin Chen went to the top of the hill, grabbed the large halberd, and pulled it out with great strength. He could feel the heaviness of the halberd. Even with his current power, he could feel his arm being weighed down.
He was now so powerful that he could lift mountains and rivers, and throw mountains aside with ease. Yet, he felt that the halberd was heavy. So the halberd was really no less heavy than a mountain.
However, it was a pleasant surprise for Qin Chen. He could sense that the halberd was an invincible divine weapon. A simple wave of it and the void trembled. So one could imagine how formidable it was. It was definitely not an ordinary weapon.
All of a sudden, the divine power in his body started involuntarily pouring into the large halberd.
BOOM!
The halberd suddenly glowed with limitless light. It pierced through the abyss and appeared in the outside world, shocking the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
"This is bad!"
"I only entered Demon Sealing Land to test how strong I was. I didn't expect to accidentally awaken a divine weapon and cause such a commotion!"
Qin Chen's face changed. He immediately stowed the halberd in the system space and soared into the sky. With unsurpassable speed, he disappeared like lightning.
Not long after, Taiyi Holy Land's Holy Lord and many supreme elders appeared above Demon Sealing Land. They were shocked to find a residual powerful aura, which Qin Chen had left after breaking through.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
The Taiyi Holy Lord and supreme elders decided to enter the Demon Sealing Land abyss to investigate. If someone had truly broken through the Demon Sealing Land, then the restrictions set by the great venerable years ago would no longer be in place. Even those above 100 years old would be able to enter.
As expected, they were able to easily enter Demon Sealing Land. They could even descend to the deepest part. They discovered that the invincible divine halberd left by the former venerable and Holy Lord had also disappeared.
"What? Someone actually managed to break through Demon Sealing Land?"
"Who could it be?"
"Demon Sealing Land contains an array left by an ancient great venerable. Only a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster, and under the age of 100, can enter. Who could it be?"
"But in our sect, other than the Holy Lord and a few old fogeys, when was there ever a young, great grandmaster of the Liuhe Realm?"
The upper echelons were all stunned.

The Weapon of the Quasi-emperor, Taihuang
The upper echelons were all stunned.
A great grandmaster in the Liuhe Realm was considered a top expert even in ancient families, immortal holy lands, ancient dynasties, and other powerful forces. Taiyi Holy Land had declined a long time ago. Other than the Holy Lord and a few old fogeys, there were no other top experts at that level.
However, they could sense that the abyss contained an intricate, powerful aura that did not dissipate for a long time.
After careful inspection, they all gasped in shock, "It wasn't a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster. It was an Wuxing Realm grandmaster level expert. But all the Wuxing Realm experts of Taiyi Holy Land are here. None of them entered Demon Sealing Land. Besides, even if an expert at level nine of Wuxing Realm breaks through Demon Sealing Land, he or she is not likely to survive."
"There's one more condition – you must be under 100 years old. Otherwise, the previous Holy Lords would long have come and taken away the former great venerable's colossal opportunity."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Who was it?
Soon, their expressions darkened. They guessed that a young, supreme expert from the outside world had very likely sneaked into Taiyi Holy Land, broken through Demon Sealing Land, and taken away the colossal opportunity left by the former venerable.
Even the holy land's most outstanding genius disciple, the current Holy Daughter Ling Ran, had only managed to reach the fourth stage. Although she had received tons of resources, she was still only at level three of the Wuxing Realm.
The Holy Lord and supreme elders immediately activated a large array to seal off Taiyi Holy Land.
The divine weapon left by the former venerable and Holy Lord had been taken. It must at least have been a venerable-grade divine weapon. To the declining Taiyi Holy Land, it was a very important item. It was not something they could lose.
However, after they sealed off Taiyi Holy Land, the Holy Lord and elders personally searched the land many times over, but found nothing.
Of course, they would not have noticed Qin Chen, who was silently sweeping in front of an ancient hall.
After a fruitless search, the Holy Lord and elders gathered again. Their expressions were sombre. "This is no simple person. We have searched so hard, and still not found him. Who could have broken into Taiyi Holy Land, gotten through Demon Sealing Land without a sound, and obtained the ancestral master's invincible divine weapon?"
"D*mn it! With the venerable's divine weapon now missing, what's more unnerving is that the divine halberd in Demon Sealing Land was not only the weapon of the ancestral master, it was also left behind to contain the demonic palace. Once the demonic palace emerges into the world, the whole of Taiyi Holy Land will be in danger!"
On hearing that, the expressions of the other supreme elders became serious. Some even looked a bit frightened.
Because they had recalled the scary existence of a demonic palace in some part of Taiyi Holy Land. It was just that it had been contained by an ancient sage ancestor of Taiyi Holy Land.
According to rumors, the demonic palace had come from the ten thousand ancient races.
During the primordial era, ten thousand races had coexisted together. It was not like the present era, where the human race dominated.
At that time, the ten thousand ancient races were immensely prosperous and powerful, far beyond imagination. There were countless Qiyao Realm kings and Bahuang Realm venerables, and all the powerful races had sages in the Jiutian Realm. Even supreme beings, known as primordial emperors, were born during that period and ruled the primordial era.
In comparison, the human race back then could be described as weak and incompetent, having to depend completely on others to survive.
But after that, a terrifying epic war took place among the heavenly emperors of the primordial era. Gods fell and countless expert cultivators perished. In the end, it led to the collapse of the world, which then entered the Dharma-Ending Age.
The ten thousand ancient races had sealed themselves off, and avoided the Dharma-Ending Age.
Sealed within the demonic palace was a great demon of the Jiutian Realm, no less powerful than the ancient sages. It was from one of the ten thousand ancient races that had sealed itself off at that time.
Back then, when it was discovered by the sage ancestral master, the great demon was still sealed off. It had not yet come out into the world.
The ancient sage knew that once the great demon emerged, the entire Southern Desolate Lands, even the whole Canglan Continent, would certainly fall under a rule of darkness and ruthless slaughter.
According to the ancient sage's prediction, the great demon would unseal and emerge in the world in hundreds of thousands of years.
As the sage had pity on the world, he took the demonic palace back to Taiyi Holy Land to try to contain it.
The ancient sage believed that with the aid of Taiyi Holy Land, the great demon could continue to be suppressed and sealed before it emerged into the world. With the passage of time, they might even be able to completely destroy it.
However, the ancient sage never would have expected Taiyi Holy Land to decline long before that. Moreover, the holy land had been through a terrible war, and many important books and records had been lost. Even the Holy Lords of recent generations did not know where the demonic palace was sealed in the holy land.
It had been more than 100,000 years since the sealing of the demonic palace. By right, it should be emerging soon.
Back then, the invincible great venerable had also been worried that Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to contain the ancient race great demon. Therefore, he left behind his invincible divine weapon. According to rumors, it was not an ordinary divine weapon. It was even likely to be a holy weapon. It also contained venerable divine power that the great venerable had poured in before passing away. At the critical moment, its power could be fully restored, equivalent to the great venerable himself using the divine weapon to strike an invincible blow.
However, Demon Sealing Land had now been broken through, and the invincible divine weapon had disappeared.
As such, the higher-ups of Taiyi Holy Land were quite worried. Once the great demon emerged in the world, the current Taiyi Holy Land might not be able to withstand it. It might be completely destroyed.
The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, "I might need to use the holy land's reserves at the critical moment. Even though Taiyi Holy Land has declined, we continue to hold the title of "Holy Land" by relying on the reserves left by our ancestors. If the holy land faces a catastrophe, we will have no choice but to use the holy land's reserves to kill it!"
However, Taiyi Holy Land should never use the reserves unless it was absolutely necessary.
It could only be used in a matter of life and death.
Taiyi Holy Land was no longer as powerful as it used to be, but its reserves served as a deterrent to various outside forces. Once it was used, Taiyi Holy Land would be in danger.
"Let's go. Since the venerable's divine weapon is lost, let's quickly find the location of the demonic palace. I trust there's still time before the great demon is unsealed and awakened! Let's hurry up and find it before that happens. By using the holy land's reserves, I believe we'll be able to contain it for some time," the Taiyi Holy Lord sighed helplessly. Then, he led the group of elders out and left.
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Moving Secret Technique!]
The system's mechanical voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen's head. It was from the check-in at Demon Sealing Land. Because he had left in a hurry, the system notification only arrived then, giving Qin Chen a huge surprise.
The Moving Secret Technique was said to be an emperor-grade movement technique created by a primordial time-space great emperor. It was known to be the fastest in the world.
According to rumors, once it was fully cultivated, one would be able to control the flow of and travel through time.
Qin Chen never expected to obtain the Moving Secret Technique there.
After mastering the Moving Secret Technique, there was no doubt that his speed would be raised to the maximum, and he would be upgraded to the next level in a very short time.
However, why would he receive the Moving Secret Technique at Demon Sealing Land?
Qin Chen did not quite understand.
However, it was certainly a great harvest that day. Not only did he break through Demon Sealing Land and obtain an invincible divine halberd, he had also successfully checked in and obtained the Moving Secret Technique. He had definitely earned a lot that day.
"System, please identify this weapon."
Qin Chen handed the halberd he had obtained to the system for identification. That was one of the functions of the system that he had recently discovered. It could be used to identify many treasures.
After a while, the system said: [Desolate Divine Halberd, the weapon of the quasi-emperor Taihuang from the mythological era. It is a quasi-emperor grade weapon.]
On hearing that, Qin Chen gasped. He did not expect it to be a quasi-emperor grade weapon.
Quasi-emperors were second only to ancient great emperors. Furthermore, it was a quasi-emperor grade weapon from the mythological era. It had been one to two million years since that period, but the Desolate Divine Halberd still displayed a special characteristic of not having decayed. One could imagine that Taihuang was no ordinary quasi-emperor.
In addition, Qin Chen suspected that Taihuang was very likely related to a time-space great emperor. Otherwise, how could he have obtained the Moving Secret Technique there?
After obtaining the Desolate Divine Halberd and Moving Secret Technique, Qin Chen continued to casually check in to various places in Taiyi Holy Land. During that time, he occasionally sneaked into Demon Sealing Land to check in. From there, he had obtained the legendary supernormal knowledge Eight Desolation Strikes, which was also a halberd technique created by Taihuang, a quasi-emperor grade supernormal knowledge.
Of course, his knowledge and proficiencies were broad and wide. Qin Chen was still only at the Wuxing Realm. After spending a few months to cultivate some techniques, his power greatly increased.

Encountering Someone From the Great Qin Dynasty
A year passed by quickly.
On this day, Qin Chen left the Taiyi Holy Land silently.
After obtaining the quasi-emperor grade weapon "Taihuang" from the Demon Sealing Land, Qin Chen had truly reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm after a year of hard cultivation. He had finished accumulating his foundation in all aspects and was about to break through to the Liuhe Realm.
Only by reaching the Liuhe Realm could one be considered a powerful expert in this world.
Of course, breaking through to the Liuhe Realm would inevitably attract a world-shaking tribulation.
Over the years, he had to stay far away from the Taiyi Holy Land every time he transcended his tribulation.
Having already done it more than ten times, he was already used to it.
It couldn't be helped. He had the Chaotic Holy Body, which was unparalleled in the world. As such, every time he crossed a small realm, he would attract the heavenly tribulation.
Going through the tribulation in the Taiyi Holy Land would alert everyone, which was completely out of line with his cautious character.
After Qin Chen left the Taiyi Holy Land, he used a moving secret technique, seemingly turning himself into a stream of light that moved at lightning speed, arriving at the endless wilderness millions of miles away.
In the vast and boundless Southern Desolate Lands, there were countless wildernesses like this.
Only somewhere so desolate was the most suitable for him to go through his tribulation.
After entering the wilderness, Qin Chen was passing by and just about to go further in when he suddenly encountered a group of young geniuses flying in the air. They were flying towards the depths of the wilderness as well.
These young geniuses were all quite extraordinary. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. All of them had an air of nobility. They were basically all experts in the Sixiang Realm or even Wuxing Realm.
How could he not find it strange to meet a group of young geniuses with such powerful cultivation in the wilderness?
Qin Chen looked at the robes they were wearing and immediately realized that they were all from the same faction. They were all royalty from the Great Qin Dynasty, traveling in groups through the wilderness together.
For a moment, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his expression was a little strange.
He did not expect to encounter people from the Great Qin Dynasty here.
After all, he was from the Great Qin Dynasty and was once the 17th Prince. Though, he had been abdicated of his prince status and was sent to the Southern Desolate Lands.
Although he encountered the royalty of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Chen did not appear. He did not even make a move. This was because the reason behind his abdication from the royal family back then involved the interests of the major factions within the royal family. It had nothing to do with these young royalties.
Furthermore, he now had the check-in system and did not have much hatred for the Great Qin Dynasty.
After all, if the Great Qin Dynasty had not banished him to the Southern Desolate Lands, making him become an unimportant disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land, he might not have been able to awaken the system, let alone be rid of the shackles of the mortal body and have the Chaotic Holy Body.
All of this might be fate!
One by one, the royal members rode on rainbows and soared into the sky. Qin Chen's aura was undetectable as he sneaked around on the ground. These people could not sense him at all. With his powerful hearing, he heard the disciples discussing, "This time, a seventy-thousand-year-old quasi-divine grade herb appeared in the Thousand Mountains. I heard that it can extend one's life by two to three hundred years."
"If those old fogeys who don't have much time left find out about this quasi-divine grade herb, they'll definitely fight over it with bloodshot eyes!"
"Yes, but this time, only we know about it. It was discovered by an unaffiliated cultivator when he was hunting demonic beasts. Now that we've killed the guy, no one else knows about it."
"With such a quasi-divine grade herb that is tens of thousands of years old, when we reach the end of our lifespans in the future, we can also take it and increase our lifespans by more than 200 years. We may even break through to the next realm and become the strongest in the world!"
"Don't think about such useless things. How can such a quasi-divine grade herb fall into our hands? Even if you get it, you'll only attract endless killing. Only someone favored by the Heavens like the 9th Prince is qualified to have it!"
"The 9th Prince's talent has been valued since he was young. He was taken in as a disciple by a Qiayao Realm expert, and he himself is at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Only he will be able to keep the herb and still be safe."
"The 9th Prince has said that as long as we contribute to the battle against the demonic beast that is guarding the quasi-divine grade herb, he will reward us handsomely!"
"Among us, only the 9th Prince has the highest chance of winning. After all, he's on level nine of the Wuxing Realm, and he's no weaker than some Supreme Elders. Compared to him, we don't have much hope. "
"Although there's not much hope, as long as we help the 9th Prince obtain the quasi-divine grade herb, we'll be rewarded handsomely. At the very least, we'll get several thousand kilograms of pure origin seeds!"
"This time, the 9th Prince is seizing the quasi-divine grade herb to prepare for the heavenly tribulation when breaking through to the Liuhe Realm!"
"I'm so envious. The 9th Prince has only cultivated for 30 years, but he's already reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm. Now, he's even fighting for the quasi-divine grade herb in preparation to break through to the Liuhe Realm. Once he succeeds, he'll truly be on par with the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land. He'll have more hope of becoming the Crown Prince and will definitely be the next Emperor!"
...
The royal descendants soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Below, Qin Chen revealed a look of surprise.
A seventy to eighty thousand years old quasi-divine grade herb?
He wasn't very tempted, though. After all, he had obtained quite a few divine-grade herbs over the years with his check-in system, so they were dispensable to him.
However, Qin Chen's expression softened when he heard of the 9th Prince.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, not only the descendants of the current Emperor could be addressed as princes and princesses, even the descendants of the other major factions had the right to be addressed as princes and princesses.
As such, there were more than seventy princes and princesses.
Qin Chen was the 17th Prince, which meant that he was the 17th royal descendant to be born in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he only had a mortal body and no talent for cultivation, so even though his mother's family was quite strong, the other princes and princesses never paid attention to him, who had a mortal body. Only the 9th Prince was willing to be with him.
The 9th Prince had displayed extraordinary talent since he was young, and he could be said to be far above his peers.
However, unlike the other princes and princesses who looked down on Qin Chen, the 9th Prince had never looked down on him. On the contrary, he had played with him when they were young.
These memories were obtained when Qin Chen had transmigrated and inherited this body.
"I didn't expect it to be my 9th brother who's coming to snatch the quasi-divine grade herb to break through to the Liuhe Realm with it," Qin Chen thought to himself. In the Great Qin Dynasty, the 9th Prince was different from him. The former had displayed extraordinary talent since he was born, and the emperor bloodline in his body was quite strong.
However, Qin Chen didn't go to meet the 9th Prince. On the contrary, the appearance of these royal descendants had made him more cautious. He didn't want his tribulation to attract too much attention.
Therefore, he changed his direction and went straight into the depth of three hundred thousand miles of the wilderness. With this, he could be considered to have entered the deepest part of the wilderness. Through his observation, he found that there were no overly powerful demonic beasts or human experts within a hundred thousand miles.
Thus, he stopped and began to set up a formation, making sufficient preparations.
After spending a day and a night to complete all the preparations, Qin Chen sat down cross-legged and began to adjust his body's condition to break through to the Liuhe Realm.

Qin Chen is the Legendary Venerable?
While Qin Chen was adjusting his state, he suddenly sensed that a heavenly tribulation had appeared more than two hundred thousand miles away.
He looked over. Although he couldn't see clearly due to the distance, he knew that the 9th Prince had most likely succeeded in snatching the quasi-divine grade herb and was beginning to overcome his tribulation to break through to the Liuhe Realm.
Qin Chen was not surprised by this. He had long known that the 9th Prince was an unparalleled genius of the Great Qin Dynasty. Just like Ling Ran, he had the legendary King Body and had also cultivated with the higher-ups of the Holy Land since young. After 30 years of cultivation, he had finally reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm.
His cultivation speed could be said to already be very fast.
After the ancient era, the Laws of Heaven and Earth changed greatly.
After the passing of Emperor Qing, let alone ancient Great Emperors, even ancient Sages and Path-seeking Venerables of the Bahuang Realm were rare.
Generally speaking, the Masters of the various Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and dynasties had all spent at least three to four hundred years in their youth before they could reach the Liuhe Realm.
As one with the King Body, the 9th Prince had an extraordinary constitution. Furthermore, the Laws of Heaven and Earth had started to change, which was why he was able to break through to the Liuhe Realm in just 30 years.
There was a rather shocking heavenly tribulation descending over there. Even from more than 200000 miles away, one could vaguely feel the fluctuations.
Qin Chen believed that the 9th Prince would be able to survive the heavenly tribulations of the Liuhe Realm.
Qin Chen quickly focused his attention and began to tackle the tribulations of his Liuhe Realm.
During this time, he took out a quasi-divine grade herb that was 90000 years old. He had found it by chance when he was in the depths of the wilderness, something very lucky to have happened. He wondered if the 9th Prince would vomit blood if he found out that he himself had to fight a great demonic beast to get the quasi-divine grade herb.
After taking the quasi-divine grade herb, it turned into boundless spiritual energy and circulated in Qin Chen's body. His aura rose steadily and reached its peak.
Boom!
In an instant, countless dark clouds covered the sky, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Huge thunderbolts descended from the sky, bringing with them an aura that could destroy the world as they struck down like crazy.
These were the heavenly tribulations of Qin Chen's Liuhe Realm. Thousands of thunderbolts fell, each enough to kill a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Wuxing Realm.
Qin Chen took the initiative to rush into the sky. He resisted the terrifying heavenly tribulations with his powerful Chaotic Holy Body, waving his fist and smashing the huge lightning bolts, turning them into essence energy that filled the sky before devouring them.
Of course, this was only the early stage of the heavenly tribulation.
Having the Chaotic Holy Body, one of the most terrifying physiques in history, the heavenly tribulation that would descend when he was breaking through to the next huge realm was bound to be extremely terrifying.
The more advanced he went in his cultivations, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be.
Not long after, the 81 bolts of lightning disappeared and were replaced by a millstone that was even larger than a mountain. It slowly rotated and exuded a world-destroying aura.
If cultivators who were more knowledgeable were present, they would've exclaimed in surprise. This was the Heavenly Dao millstone, a legendary heavenly tribulation that was enough to kill an ordinary Liuhe Realm Grandmaster.
Qin Chen let out a loud roar and soared into the sky. He waved his fist and used the Baoshan Seal to meet the attack, shattering the Heavenly Dao millstone. However, blood also seeped out from the corner of his mouth. After all, this was no ordinary tribulation.
The heavenly tribulation was endless. As time passed, all kinds of terrifying legendary heavenly tribulations kept bombarding him, turning Qin Chen's entire body charred black. His body, which had been tempered over the years, was split open with countless wounds, and from time to time, drops of blood that shone with traces of bright gold sprinkled down.
It couldn't be helped. These were all terrifying heavenly tribulations that only existed in legends. Furthermore, Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, which was naturally extraordinary. As such, the heavenly tribulations that targeted the physique were also extremely terrifying. Hence, once they descended, they would be extremely terrifying.
At the same time, more than 200000 miles away, the mountains within a thousand miles radius had been turned into scorched earth.
Thunderbolts as thick as mountains kept falling. A figure was charging forward, clashing with these powerful thunderbolts.
It was the 9th Prince's Liuhe Realm tribulation!
The group of Great Qin Dynasty disciples who were standing guard in the distance revealed expressions of shock.
"As expected of the Prince. To think the tribulation that he's going through is the legendary Absolute Beginning Tribulations, which is a total of 49 heavenly thunderbolts that carry the aura of the Absolute Beginning. Each one is enough to kill a cultivator in the early stage of the Wuxing Realm, but he's resisted it!"
"It's not just the Absolute Beginning Tribulations. There's also the Sky-crushing Thunder. It's said that it can even destroy the Heavenly Dao. It's a terrifying heavenly tribulation that only peerless figures can trigger. As such, it has now appeared and is being withstood by the Prince."
"Fortunately, the Prince has the quasi-divine grade herb."
"His Royal Highness is indeed a legendary genius. To think it took him six hours to complete his tribulation. If it were us, we would only need two hours at most. Furthermore, the legendary heavenly tribulations couldn't possibly appear for us. Otherwise, we'd be dead for sure!"
In the end, under the protection of the Great Qin Dynasty's disciples, the 9th Prince's body was surrounded by wisps of chaos energy as he successfully broke through and became a powerful cultivator in the Liuhe Realm.
At this moment, the 9th Prince had consumed a precious pill and completed the jump of a big realm. His injuries were all healed, and his body was glowing. He looked like a top-tier expert.
Many of the Great Qin Dynasty disciples had looks of respect on their faces as they came forward to congratulate the 9th Prince on his success. From now on, he was a Liuhe Realm Grandmaster and was even closer to the position of the Holy Lord.
Just as the 9th Prince was about to celebrate, his expression suddenly changed as he sensed an extremely terrifying heavenly tribulation in the distance.
Even though he was more than two hundred thousand miles away, he could still clearly feel how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was. It was a whole patch of world-destroying thunders that blotted out the sky.
How was this a heavenly tribulation? It was more like a sea of tribulation lightning that drowned the distant heaven and earth. The terrifying commotion it caused could be clearly felt.
The 9th Prince's expression changed. Although his Liuhe Realm tribulation was also very terrifying, it wasn't on the same level as the heavenly tribulation of the other party.
If he had been the one to face the heavenly tribulation, he would have died.
"What a terrifying heavenly tribulation! It's even more terrifying than the heavenly tribulation of His Royal Highness!"
"I'm afraid it's the tribulation of the Qiyao Realm!"
"That's right, only a King's tribulation can be so terrifying!"
The many disciples of the Holy Land all thought that it must be a King's tribulation. Otherwise, how could it be so much more terrifying than the 9th Prince's Liuhe Realm tribulation?
The 9th Prince also believed that it would be at least a Qiyao Realm tribulation. It might even be a Bahuang Realm Path-seeking tribulation, as it was countless times stronger than his Liuhe Realm tribulation.
Even though they were more than 200000 miles away, they could still feel the heavenly tribulation. It was as if it was going to destroy the entire world.
It wasn't like he had never seen a Qiyao Realm King's tribulation before, but compared to now, there was still a huge gap.
The 9th Prince muttered in his heart, there's probably a peerless expert going through the Path-seeking tribulation of the Bahuang Realm now. If the other party could survive the tribulation, he or she would be Venerable of the world. All the Holy Lands, families, and dynasties will have to treat him with respect.
If he could get to know this Venerable, it would be of great benefit to him.
Therefore, the 9th Prince had already decided to get to know this senior after the other party finished his or her tribulation!

The 9th Prince: Senior!
Qin Chen's Liuhe Realm tribulation lasted for an entire night before the thunderbolts slowly dissipated.
Even though he had the help of countless treasures, divine pills, and boundless Divine Spirit Source, he was still covered in blood after the heavenly tribulation.
However, after the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Qin Chen's aura increased by several times, approaching the King level of the Qiyao Realm.
He luxuriously consumed a quasi-divine grade herb, which turned into a vast amount of spiritual energy that quickly healed his injuries. In just a few breaths, he had completely recovered and returned to his peak.
He was handsome, with defined eyebrows and bright eyes. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, making him seem like a great emperor descending to the mortal world, extremely eye-catching.
"So this is the Liuhe Realm? I feel much stronger than before the tribulation," Qin Chen could feel the strength in his body. He had broken through from the Wuxing Realm and entered the Liuhe Realm. His primordial spirit was clear and his eyes were bright like stars. His aura stood out.
Even the Holy Lords from the various Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and empires couldn't be compared to him in terms of temperament.
After entering the Liuhe Realm, Qin Chen was confident that he could even fight against a Qiyao Realm King.
"Oh?" Suddenly, he sensed many auras appearing and arriving before him.
He had been undergoing his tribulation not long ago, so he was so focused on it that he didn't sense it.
Of course, the most important thing was that the auras of the newcomers were not very strong. Otherwise, he would have sensed them a long time ago.
It was the people from the Great Qin Dynasty!
Qin Chen immediately changed his appearance.
This was because he did not want others to know the secret of his being able to cultivate and reach the Liuhe Realm.
To be honest, even if Qin Chen stood there in his original appearance, the 9th Prince probably wouldn't be able to recognize him either. After all, when he was expelled from the royal family, he had only been 15 years old. He was young and immature and hadn't fully grown up yet. Now that more than ten years had passed, he had completely grown and his body had even transformed into the Chaotic Holy Body, allowing him to integrate with Heaven and Earth, giving him a natural disposition. Even if he had the royal blood of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was no longer obvious.
The 9th Prince led the Great Qin Dynasty disciples over. When they saw Qin Chen, they found that he was a handsome young man in his early twenties. Under his tattered clothes, one could vaguely see his strong and muscular body. One could also vaguely sense the terrifying blood energy on him that was as vast as an abyss.
Even the Kings and Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty paled in comparison to this level of blood energy.
This made the 9th Prince and the others even more certain that this was a supreme Venerable. It was only because his cultivation realm was profound that he looked young.
After all, even if the many Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords had lived for one or two thousand years, they still looked like they were in their early twenties or thirties.
For some unknown reason though, the 9th prince felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at the Venerable.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he had no memory of ever meeting someone like this at all.
The 9th Prince led the group of Holy Land disciples and bowed to Qin Chen respectfully, "Greetings, senior!"
Senior?
Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince with a strange expression, muttering in his heart, "Please, 9th brother, I'm your 17th brother. I'm younger than you in both age and cultivation, okay?"
However, he who was better in cultivation would be the senior. Even though he started cultivating more than ten years later than the 9th Prince, he was still stronger than the latter.
At the very least, Qin Chen would have no problem suppressing the 9th Prince while also being in the first level of the Liuhe Realm.
However, he did not know how to respond to his 9th brother.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a roar reverberated through a radius of 1000 miles. A giant ape that was over 30 meters tall appeared. Its entire body was covered in purple fur, and streaks of lightning flickered around its body. It exuded a shocking aura, causing the Great Qin Dynasty disciples to be shocked.
"Oh my God, it's a purple lightning ape!"
"The purple lightning ape is from the ancient ape race, and it seems to have a bloodline connection with the combat saint ape race of the ten thousand ancient races!"
"It's said that a Supreme Elder of one of the Holy Lands entered the wilderness to find a divine medicine and found a quasi-divine grade herb. However, the quasi-divine grade herb was guarded by a peerless great demonic beast, a purple lightning giant ape. It almost killed the Supreme Elder. I'm afraid this is the purple lightning giant ape in the stories!"
"It's rumored that the purple lightning giant ape is very strong. A Holy Lord once tried to subdue it, but it still escaped. It can't be the same one, right?"
"If it's really this purple lightning giant ape, its cultivation is at least at the Liuhe Realm. It could even be at the Qiyao Realm!"
Even the 9th Prince, who had reached the Liuhe Realm, was wary of the purple lightning giant ape.
This was because he had heard of the appearance of a purple lightning giant ape in this wilderness. This was a terrifying great demonic beast that even almost killed a Grandmaster. Its appearance now gave him a terrifying sense of oppression. The one in the rumors was definitely the one in front of them now.
However, why did this purple lightning giant ape come?
The purple lightning giant ape's dark golden eyes, which were as large as water tanks, swept across everyone present. The disciples did not dare to look at its terrifying eyes directly. Finally, it landed on Qin Chen. It could feel a familiar aura from him. It then revealed a terrifying killing intent and roared, "Human cultivator, how dare you steal my quasi-divine grade herb!"
Hearing this, everyone from the Great Qin Dynasty was shocked and looked at Qin Chen.
It turned out that the purple lightning giant ape had come because this senior had stolen its quasi-divine grade herb.
Qin Chen furrowed his brows. He recalled that the quasi-divine grade herb he had consumed before the tribulation. So it was from the purple lightning giant ape. He couldn't help but say, "So it's yours. I saw that there were no creatures guarding the quasi-divine grade herb, so I took it!"
"Where's the quasi-divine grade herb?" The purple lightning giant ape said angrily.
"I ate it," Qin Chen replied calmly.
Hearing this, the purple lightning giant ape exploded with anger and roared, "Human, you deserve to die. This is the quasi-divine grade herb that I have guarded for a thousand years. How dare you consume it? I will refine your flesh, blood, and primordial spirit into materials!"
Its roar shook the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles. Many of the Great Qin Dynasty's disciples turned pale and blood flowed out of their eyes, noses, and mouths as their souls were damaged.
Only the 9th Prince was barely able to withstand it, but he also looked at the giant purple lightning ape with a grave expression.
As the purple lightning giant ape roared, it jumped and rushed towards Qin Chen. Its huge palm slapped towards the latter, the force so huge it caused the void to collapse. It was extremely terrifying.
If the palm were to land on a mountain, the people of the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the mountain would be destroyed in an instant.
Even the 9th Prince's expression changed. He couldn't block this palm.
However, Qin Chen did not dodge. He simply raised his palm to meet the attack.
Boom!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the extremely terrifying ape palm attack was blocked, unable to land on Qin Chen's body.
The purple lightning giant ape was taken aback. It was no ordinary Liuhe Realm Grandmaster. With the blessing of its ancient bloodline, its strength far exceeded that of human cultivators of the same realm. It could even challenge a Qiyao Realm King, so how could it be defeated?
"You're too weak!" Qin Chen said. With a flash, he appeared in front of the purple lightning giant ape in an instant. He looked very small, but with a single slap, the world shook.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the purple lightning giant ape was sent flying by a single palm. It crashed through many mountains and fell to the ground in the distance, where the ground rumbled.

Will Visit Taiyi Holy Land One Day
At the same time, Qin Chen appeared in front of the purple lightning giant ape as if he had teleported. He grabbed its finger and easily sent it flying.
The poor purple lightning giant ape was one of the top Grandmasters in the Liuhe Realm with a body that was even stronger than many Kings, yet, it was just crushed by Qin Chen.
The crowd from the Great Qin Dynasty was shocked. They were even more convinced that this was a senior with unfathomable cultivation. Even if the senior hadn't unleashed any of his spiritual energy, he had such a strong body that he could easily suppress the purple lightning giant ape, a member of the ancient ape clan that was known for its physical strength. Other than the Venerables in the Bahuang Realm, no King could do it.
Perhaps this senior did not even bother to use any of his spiritual energy to deal with the purple lightning giant ape.
After a round of being beaten, the purple lightning giant ape was just dizzy from being sent flying twice. It no longer had any thoughts of revenge against Qin Chen and surrendered.
It couldn't be helped. Qin Chen was too abnormal. Although he had just stepped into the Liuhe Realm, his Chaotic Holy Body allowed him to even challenge a Qiyao Realm King. His physical body far surpassed that of a King.
Ever since Qin Chen started cultivating, he had never killed a living creature. Besides, he was the one who had taken away the quasi-divine grade herb that the purple lightning giant ape was guarding. Thus, it was not appropriate for him to kill it either.
"I originally thought that the quasi-divine grade herb had no owner, so I picked it. Now that I know it's yours, it's only normal for you to be angry. I have a piece of Divine Spirit Source here, take it as your compensation," Qin Chen took out a head-sized Divine Spirit Source that was filled with spiritual energy, stunning everyone.
Divine Spirit Sources were rare even in the Holy Lands, and their value was no less than the quasi-divine grade herbs.
Although it could not extend one's life, it still had great value.
Such a piece of Divine Spirit Source was comparable to two hundred thousand kilograms of spirit stones.
The purple lightning giant ape looked at the Divine Spirit Source and was pleasantly surprised.
It had thought that not only was the quasi-divine grade herb gone, but it couldn't defeat this human cultivator with a monstrously strong body either, so it could only swallow its anger. It didn't expect that the other party would give it a piece of the Divine Spirit Source. Therefore, it quickly said gratefully, "Many thanks, senior!"
The corners of Qin Chen's mouth twitched. Never mind the royal descendants of the Great Qin Dynasty, but now, a great demonic beast who had lived for more than a thousand years was calling him senior too...
After the purple lightning giant ape obtained the Divine Spirit Source, it quickly left.
At this moment, the 9th Prince and the others said, "Senior..."
Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince and raised his eyebrows, "Is there something?"
Of course, if the 9th Prince did need help, Qin Chen wouldn't mind helping him out.
After all, he had a good impression of the 9th Prince.
The 9th Prince quickly said, "I wouldn't dare to have any problems. It's just that I saw you going through your tribulation, so I couldn't help but come. I'm just here to pay a visit, I hope you won't mind."
"It's fine," Qin Chen said indifferently and turned to leave.
"Senior, may I ask for your name?" The 9th Prince cupped his fists before the other party could leave.
Qin Chen's figure paused for a moment, and he only lightly flicked his sleeves as he said, "I'm just a nobody. If you go any deeper into the wilderness, danger will be lying ahead for Kings. You'd better leave this place quickly. "
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, to prevent the moving secret technique from being exposed, he used the Heaven-treading Steps of the Taiyi Holy Land. With one step, his figure turned into a long rainbow of lights as he soared into the sky, disappearing before the rest like a bolt of lightning.
"Nameless? This senior is truly noble. With such a cultivation base and such a heavenly tribulation, how could he be a nobody?" The 9th Prince exclaimed. He felt increasingly sure that Qin Chen was an unfathomable expert that didn't want fame or fortune. Or, the other party probably didn't think there was a need for them to interact with each other, so he didn't tell him his name.
"It's a pity that I don't know who the senior is. Otherwise, I would definitely pay him a visit," The 9th Prince was disappointed.
One of the Holy Land disciples couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the movement technique that the senior used just now seems to be the Heaven-treading Steps of the Taiyi Holy Land."
Heaven-treading Steps?
The Taiyi Holy Land?
Hearing this, the Prince and the other disciples were shocked, "It's said that the Taiyi Holy Land has declined, but from what we've seen today, it's clear that there's a legendary Venerable of the Bahuang Realm there. With such a Venerable, how could the Taiyi Holy Land decline? It seems that the Holy Land of Taiyi is only keeping a low profile and has many unknown experts. I have heard that the Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land is amazing. She has the legendary Zixia Body, the same Supreme King Body as the Supreme Zixia Empress of the ancient times. Now, there's another supreme Venerable of the Bahuang Realm there. The Taiyi Holy Land is not simple!"
"Didn't the 17th Prince, Qin Chen, get banished to the Taiyi Holy Land?" A royal disciple suddenly asked.
"That's right. Qin Chen was indeed sent to the Southern Desolate Lands. He should be in the Taiyi Holy Land."
"So, 17th brother was sent to the Taiyi Holy Land?" The 9th Prince was shocked, but he soon looked guilty, "I've been so busy cultivating that I've neglected my 17th brother. I didn't even go to see him for the last time when he was exiled, and I haven't even seen him for the past ten years. I'm really ashamed. It looks like I'll have to find an opportunity to pay a visit to the Taiyi Holy Land."
The 9th Prince decided that he would visit the Taiyi Holy Land when he had the chance.
Whether it was for that Venerable senior or his 17th brother.
Qin Chen, who had returned to the Taiyi Holy Land, did not know that because of him, the people of the Great Qin Dynasty all determined that the Taiyi Holy Land was about to be revived. They had even decided to find a suitable time to pay a visit.
After entering the Liuhe Realm, Qin Chen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing his past self.
Currently, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land was his match, including the Taiyi Holy Lord.
This was because Taiyi Holy Lord was only at level eight of the Liuhe Realm. He was not a Qiyao Realm King yet.
With Qin Chen's abilities, he was already able to fight against a Qiyao Realm King.
Although Qin Chen already had a powerful cultivation that could dominate the Taiyi Holy Land, he still kept a low profile and continued to sweep the floors of the Taiyi Holy Land. Of course, he usually did it within a hundred miles of his residence. As for other places, he would not go there to prevent exposing himself to others.
After all, in the eyes of the people of the Taiyi Holy Land, he was just an abandoned Prince with the cultivation of a Warrior who couldn't even activate his divine sea.
It was still acceptable if he swept around within a hundred miles, but if it was beyond that, it would arouse suspicion.
On this day, Qin Chen came to Zixia Palace to sweep the floors under the orders of the miscellaneous affairs elder.
Zixia Palace was a newly built palace in the Taiyi Holy Land, built especially for the Holy Daughter Ling Ran.
This was because Ling Ran had made it to the fourth stage in the Demon Sealing Land, so the higher-ups of the Holy Land believed that she had a high chance of reaching the Qiyao Realm and leading the Taiyi Holy Land back to its peak. Therefore, many people had high hopes for Ling Ran.
As such, they had built a new palace for the Holy Daughter Ling Ran. It was named Zixia Palace because of the Zixia Body she had.
Even the current Holy Son, Zhao Yi, did not receive such treatment.
When Qin Chen arrived at Zixia Palace, it was filled with female disciples. They glanced at him coldly and let him in indifferently. They also warned him not to go anywhere he was not allowed to.
Qin Chen naturally agreed. Just as he arrived at Zixia Palace, the system's notification sounded in his mind.
[This place has divinity. Would you like to check in here?]

Ling Ran's Friendship With Qin Chen
Qin Chen was slightly stunned. The Zixia Palace had just been built not long ago, but it already contained divinity?
He confirmed to check-in in his heart. It was just a single check-in opportunity anyway.
[Dingdong, congratulations, you have obtained the reward from checking in: Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra!]
The system's notification surprised Qin Chen.
The Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra?
His consciousness sank into the system space, and he found an ancient book that had appeared in it. On the cover, there were three big words: "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra"!
He then looked at the system's introduction.
[Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra: A peerless ancient Sutra created for the Zixia Body. It's an internal ancient Sutra created by the Supreme Zixia Empress. If one cultivates this Sutra, they will be able to fully develop the Zixia Body and reach the peak, obtaining the hope of becoming an Emperor that has proven their path.]
Qin Chen was shocked. To think the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" was so heaven-defying.
The Zixia Empress was a Supreme of her generation. She also had the Zixia Body and had cultivated it to the extreme. Although she had not become an Emperor who had proven her path, she was no inferior.
He didn't expect that he would get the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" by checking in here.
However, the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra was not of much use to him, so he just threw it into the system space and ignored it.
As the sun set, Qin Chen carefully cleaned up the few halls of the palace and was about to leave when he ran into Ling Ran. She was like a fairy who had descended from the heavens. Every step she took was graceful and her body was surrounded by wisps of purple mist. She looked extremely holy.
After a few months since their last meeting, she had become stronger and was already on level four of the Wuxing Realm.
Qin Chen had to admit that Ling Ran was indeed a prodigy of her generation. She was extremely talented in the path of cultivation.
Although she was somewhat lacking compared to the 9th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty as she had yet to step into the Liuhe Realm, one should not forget that the Taiyi Holy Land was a Holy Land that had long declined. It could not be compared with the Great Qin Dynasty, which had been in its heyday for countless years.
Moreover, the Great Qin Dynasty was a divine dynasty that had the inheritance of an ancient Emperor. It was one of the best among all the immortal inheritances. The 9th Prince was also one of the potential candidates to compete for the position of the next Imperial Lord. As such, his cultivation conditions were naturally far superior to Ling Ran's.
Of course, as Ling Ran had the Zixia Dao body, she was born to be in harmony with Heaven and Earth. As her realm continued to rise, her harmony with Heaven and Earth would also continue to increase. Once she grew, her achievements would not be much inferior to the 9th Prince's.
This was also one of the reasons why the Taiyi Holy Land had high hopes for Ling Ran.
Qin Chen stood quietly at the side and made way for Ling Ran to walk past him first.
However, Ling Ran stopped in front of him. She glanced at Qin Chen and with a flip of her palm, a spirit stone the size of a baby's fist appeared in her hand. It was flowing with dense spiritual energy. Ling Ran sighed softly, "Go back and refine this spirit stone. Then, you can activate your divine sea and become a true cultivator. You're still young, not even thirty years old yet. You shouldn't be sweeping the floors here. You should be like us, going against fate and traveling the vast world. Perhaps when the time comes, you can also change your fate!"
Without waiting for Qin Chen to speak, Ling Ran had already stuffed the spirit stone into his hand. Her smooth hand felt warm and soft.
When Qin Chen came to his senses, Ling Ran had already walked far away. He lowered his head and saw that the aura of the spirit stone in his hand had been sealed.
Otherwise, if he, a servant, had such a spirit stone, he would be envied by many and they would probably harm him to get the stone.
After all, one should not show off one's wealth, not to mention that spirit stones were extremely rare items, far more valuable than gold and silver.
Qin Chen sighed softly. The spirit stone was nothing much but it's the thought that counts. He did not expect that Ling Ran, who was the high and mighty Holy Daughter, would know him, although she didn't know that he was just a janitor. He did not expect her to be so kind.
He knew that the "fate" that Ling Ran was talking about was his mortal body and his identity as an abandoned Prince.
Ling Ran hoped that he could break out of the cage, soar into the sky, and return to the Great Qin Dynasty.
With his current cultivation, such a spirit stone was dispensable.
However, he vowed to repay the kindness tenfold in the future.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Qin Chen was still a lowly janitor in the Holy Land. He had not changed much. He was already used to this peaceful life that had lasted for twenty years.
Of course, his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, becoming increasingly profound by the day.
Today was the day that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran would go through her Liuhe Realm heavenly tribulation.
After ten years, she had reached the peak of level nine in the Wuxing Realm.
The Taiyi Holy Land attached great importance to Ling Ran as she was the first genius to reach the Liuhe Realm before she was one hundred years old after the Holy Land's decline. They had prepared many things, including hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Divine Spirit Source and precious medicines that were more than one hundred years old, all for Ling Ran.
The Holy Lords, Supreme Elders, and many other higher-ups of the Holy Land had come to personally observe the tribulation and stand guard.
It wasn't easy for the Taiyi Holy Land to have a peerless genius, and they couldn't let anything happen to her.
The Saint, Zhao Yi, had also come. However, right now, he was completely overshadowed by Ling Ran, and the Holy Land's expectations of him were not as high as before.
Zhao Yi looked at Ling Ran, who was preparing to cross her tribulation. He clenched his fists, and there was a hint of jealousy and unwillingness on his face.
That day, Ling Ran broke through to the Liuhe Realm and her heavenly tribulation descended. It was terrifying, a legendary heavenly tribulation. It was even stronger than the one the Holy Son Wan Chu had faced back then.
After half a day, Ling Ran finally finished her tribulation and successfully advanced to the Liuhe Realm. Her powerful aura made everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land extremely excited.
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the senior Supreme Elders were even more excited. The fact that Ling Ran had entered the Liuhe Realm meant that there was hope for the Taiyi Holy Land to revive.
In fact, the Taiyi Holy Lord was even prepared to hand over the position of Holy Lord to Ling Ran when she stepped into the Qiyao Realm.
Suddenly, Ling Ran's figure fell from the sky.
Taiyi Holy Lord immediately went to catch her and found that her face was pale and her aura was weak.
After a careful examination, his expression changed.
Then, the higher-ups of the Holy Land immediately brought Ling Ran into the depths of the Holy Land.
Not long after, news spread that Ling Ran's foundation was unstable, and she had suffered a fatal internal injury when she transcended the heavenly Tribulation. Although she had come to, if her internal injury could not be cured, she would be stuck in the Liuhe Realm for the rest of her life. Moreover, her internal injury would continue to worsen as time passed. Once it could not be suppressed and completely erupted, Ling Ran would die.
When the news spread, the entire Taiyi Holy Land was in a state of sorrow.
Although Ling Ran was the Holy Daughter, she had always been friendly and treated people very well. Many disciples had received her kindness.
Now that Ling Ran had encountered such a disaster, many elders and disciples sighed at her bad fate.
According to the latest news, only a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm who cultivated the Path of Life or a divine medicine that was more than 100000 years old could cure the internal injury.
However, even the many ancient Holy Lands, families, and dynasties lacked Bahuang Realm Venerables. At the very least, they did not have one that anyone knew of. Even if they did, they would not make a move easily or were in a sealed state. They would not act for a junior who had just entered the Liuhe Realm.
As for the divine medicine that was more than 100000 years old, it was even rarer. After all, it was something that could extend a person's life by hundreds of years. It was enough to make those living old fossils who were about to reach their ends go crazy.
The Taiyi Holy Land had already declined, so how could they have such a divine medicine?
Although the other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties had them, they would not waste them on Ling Ran.
Therefore, it was not hard to imagine Ling Ran's fate. She was probably fated for death.
Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor in a palace far away, was slightly stunned when he heard the news.
He sighed.
That night, he went to Zixia Palace.
After Ling Ran woke up, she returned to Zixia Palace to recuperate.
The entire Zixia Palace was filled with sorrow.
Qin Chen entered the Zixia Palace without a sound. His current cultivation was much higher than ten years ago. Even the Taiyi Holy Lord wouldn't be able to notice him.
He came to Ling Ran's bedroom, only to find her cultivating while sitting cross-legged. Purple clouds were exuberant around her body that were attracting the patterns of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. It was obvious that she was trying to resolve her internal injury.
But a moment later, the purple light around her exploded, and she suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, a stark comparison to her pale face.
In the end, she still couldn't resolve her internal injury.
Ling Ran's expression was gloomy. In the end, this was as far as she could go in this life, and she had failed to live up to others' expectations.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up with a start, "Who's there?"

Qin Chen Returning the Favor
"Who's there?" Ling Ran let out a soft shout. She was keenly aware that someone had appeared. When she woke up, she saw a figure disappear from the window. She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar.
Just as she was about to call for help, she noticed a shimmering medicinal herb on the table, emitting a special medicinal fragrance.
She only sniffed it lightly, and she felt that the internal injuries in her body seemed to have healed a bit. She looked at the medicinal herb in shock. It was clearly a divine herb.
How precious was divine medicine? So precious that not even the entire Taiyi Holy Land had one.
Even if they did, they probably wouldn't let her use it so easily.
With this divine medicine, Ling Ran believed that her internal injury would definitely be completely cured, and she would no longer have to worry about the danger of dying.
On the other side was a book exuding purple light. A few large words were written on it: Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra!
"The legendary 'Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra'!" This made Ling Ran even more surprised than when she saw the divine medicine. This was because the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra was a peerless ancient Sutra created by the legendary Supreme Zixia Empress in the era more than one hundred thousand years ago.
It was rumored that the Zixia Empress also had the Zixia Body and had cultivated it to the peak, reaching an unprecedented level.
It was just that, wasn't the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" lost?
To think it had appeared here.
Ling Ran flipped through the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and found it profound and mysterious. Although it was her first time seeing it, she could feel that it was perfectly compatible with her Zixia Body, making her certain that this was the real Sutra, and she was moved by the gift.
At last, there was only a note with a single line of words: This is to return the favor in the past tenfold!
She thought of the disappearing figure. She had thought that it was a thief who had sneaked in to steal, but the divine medicine and the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" that appeared on the table were all priceless treasures.
Who was the other party?
Why did he look so familiar?
Moreover, a favor of the past?
When did she give favor to such a mysterious expert?
...
On the Holy Son's mountain where the Holy Son, lived.
In contrast to the sorrows of the outside world, the Holy Son's mountain was filled with joy.
In the grand palace, the Holy Son Zhao Yi sat on the main seat, flanked by the Holy Land disciples who were on good terms with him and followed him.
At this moment, a disciple cupped his fists at Zhao Yi and laughed, "Congratulations, Your Highness. The Holy Daughter has now failed her tribulation and suffered an internal injury. In the future, it is impossible for her to compete for the position of Holy Lord. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, you are the most qualified to compete for the Holy Lord's position!"
"Your Highness is now on level seven of the Wuxing Realm. No one in the Holy Land is your match."
"Soon, the next Holy Lord will be decided. Now that the Holy Daughter has been crippled, who else is most qualified to become the Holy Lord but Your Highness?"
In the palace, many disciples were flattering Zhao Yi.
"Everyone, please don't say that. The Holy Daughter will definitely be able to get through this. The Taiyi Holy Land needs a true genius like her to lead the Holy Land back to its former glory!" Zhao Yi shook his head, but a hint of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Your Highness must be joking. The Holy Lord has said that the Holy Daughter's Internal injury is imprinted in her origin. She is already very lucky to survive and will not be able to advance further in this life!" A disciple said, "The Taiyi Holy Land needs someone like you to support us, not the Holy Daughter!"
"That's right, Your Highness. Apart from you, who else in the Taiyi Holy Land is qualified to be the next Holy Lord?"
The other disciples also chimed in, their faces full of flattery.
Hearing all this, Zhao Yi's face revealed a "reluctant" expression as he said, "If that's the case, if the Holy Daughter really can't recover, I am willing to bear this responsibility and lead the Holy Land to revive and return to its ancient glory!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Ever since he found out that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after going through the heavenly tribulation, and that it would be difficult to heal for the rest of her life, Zhao Yi had appeared very sad in front of others. However, when he returned to his Holy Son's mountain, he would reveal his true colors and appear very happy.
Back then, Zhao Yi and Ling Ran had been chosen as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Countless people in the Holy Land believed that Zhao Yi would become the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land one day, and the Holy Daughter was destined to be his wife.
Even Zhao Yi himself thought so.
However, ever since Ling Ran gradually displayed her amazing talent and surpassed him, the light that should have belonged to him as the Holy Son was snatched away by Ling Ran, and it gradually dimmed.
Gradually, everyone in the Holy Land believed that the next Holy Lord would no longer be him, but Ling Ran.
As for Ling Ran, she couldn't possibly become Zhao Yi's wife.
Even though Zhao Yi had been working very hard over the years and had shown sufficient talent, the gap between him and Ling Ran still gradually widened. Moreover, Ling Ran's legendary physique of the Zixia Body had also gradually shown her extraordinary talent and amazing cultivation speed.
Back then, the two of them had started cultivating at about the same time. However, after so many years, Ling Ran had already transcended the heavenly tribulation and reached the Liuhe Realm, while he had only reached level seven of the WuxingRealm. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
Now that Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after transcending the tribulation, the Holy Land would no longer have high hopes for her, and they would once again pour their resources into him, the Holy Son.
In the future, he would also succeed the position of the Holy Lord, and Ling Ran would become his wife.
Zhao Yi was naturally happy to see such a thing happen. When no one was around, he would occasionally reveal a happy smile, "As expected, I am the main character of the world. The next Holy Lord will not be Ling Ran, but me! Since that's the case, there's no need to agree to that fellow's request. "
Mentioning "that fellow", Zhao Yi revealed a deep look of fear.
A few days later, a brilliant purple light suddenly burst out in Zixia Palace. It spread out for hundreds of miles, accompanied by a powerful aura, which attracted the attention of all parties in the Taiyi Holy Land.
A beautiful figure soared into the sky. It was none other than Ling Ran. She was as ethereal as a fairy, like a celestial who had come to Earth.
This scene truly stunned everyone.
Didn't Ling Ran fail to transcend her heavenly tribulation, suffer from internal injuries, and was going to die soon?
Why did it seem like she was different overnight? Her aura had faintly become stronger as well. Her aura that should have been weak and dispirited had been reborn and flourished, and it was even better than before.
What had happened?
The Taiyi Holy Lord led a group of elders to Ling Ran's side. They could feel that Ling Ran had changed a lot since yesterday. She did not seem weak at all.
Moreover, they could clearly feel waves of powerful energy continuously bursting out of Ling Ran's body. Although they were all in the Liuhe Realm, many Supreme Elders' expressions changed slightly at this moment. This was because Ling Ran's aura was not much weaker than theirs, old Grandmasters who had been in the Liuhe Realm for hundreds of years. Rather, it was even stronger, which shouldn't be.
The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, "Ling Ran, have you recovered from your internal injuries?"
Ling Ran nodded, saying in an aloof manner, "Thank you for your concern, Holy Lord, and all the elders. My internal injury has already healed!"
Hearing this, even though the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other elders had already guessed it, they were still shocked.
The Holy Son, Zhao Yi, couldn't help but exclaim, "This is impossible!"

Zhao Yi Becomes a Demon
The Taiyi Holy Lord glanced at Zhao Yi coldly, and the latter came back to his senses, "I'm naturally very happy that junior sister Ling Ran's internal injuries have recovered. I just found it unbelievable that she can be cured without the help of divine medicine or a Venerable in the Path of Life. I'm sorry for my slip of the tongue just now, and I hope that everyone can forgive me. "
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others also found it unbelievable. They looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, "Ling Ran, how did you recover?"
They simply couldn't figure out how Ling Ran had healed her injuries. After all, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land was able to help her.
Ling Ran had already thought of an explanation for this. She said, "A few days ago when I was recuperating, an expert broke into Zixia Palace and said that I had the Zixia Body and would inherit the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress in the future. That expert gave me the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" and a divine medicine to help me resolve my internal injuries. He helped me to cultivate a sutra that is perfectly compatible with the Zixia Body!"
Naturally, this was a lie. But if she didn't say so, it would be difficult to explain this matter.
After all, these two treasures had been sent to her for no reason on the excuse that it was repaying her past kindness.
To be honest, Ling Ran could not think of what abilities she had to have done something that amounted to doing a favor for the mysterious expert.
On the other hand, she was also interested in the position of the Holy Lord and carrying out reforms for the Taiyi Holy Land. Therefore, she deliberately borrowed the Zixia Empress' name.
Although it was a lie, it was not much different from the truth. The only lie was that she had inherited the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
However, the Holy Lord Taiyi and the others could only know the truth if they asked the Zixia Empress's descendants directly.
Zixia Empress's orthodoxy was far away in God's Forbidden Ground, not in the Canglan Continent. So, how could they find them?
Moreover, Zixia Empress was a Supreme, and the orthodoxy she left behind could be considered an immortal Holy Land where there were extreme Emperor soldiers, making it far stronger than the current Taiyi Holy Land. The Taiyi Holy Land simply did not dare to ask.
Besides, the Taiyi Holy Land regarded Ling Ran as their future Holy Lord, and with this news, they were more than happy for her. How would they go and ask about this?
Sure enough, after hearing this news, the Taiyi Saint Lord and the Supreme Elders were very pleasantly surprised. They were happy that Ling Ran's injury had been cured and that she could get the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
The Zixia Empress was a famous Supreme in history. Although she did not become an Emperor in the end, she had ruled the great universe for some time and left her name in history.
It was definitely her good fortune that Ling Ran could inherit the Zixia Empress's orthodoxy and become her successor.
On the other hand, they also let go of their doubts. No wonder Ling Ran could heal her internal injury. No wonder they hadn't even noticed that someone had broken into the Taiyi Holy Land. It turned out that the other party was an expert from the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
The news that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had recovered from her injuries spread throughout the entire Taiyi Holy Land. She was loved by countless disciples, and so many people had been sad that she had failed to pass the heavenly tribulation and was injured. Now that she had recovered, many were happy for her.
"Damn it!" On the Holy Son's mountain, Zhao Yi angrily smashed many treasures.
Originally, he was about to obtain the position of the Holy Lord. He never expected that Ling Ran's Internal injuries would actually recover! This was completely unexpected.
Since this had happened, how could he compete against Ling Ran? It would be even more impossible for him to obtain the position of the Holy Lord!
"Completely submit to me. As long as you're willing to submit to me, I can give you talent that surpasses the Holy Daughter Ling Ran's, and you'll be able to suppress the entire Taiyi Holy Land. At that time, not only will you be able to control the entire Taiyi Holy Land, but you'll also become the master of this macro world!" An eerie voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
It was tempting Zhao Yi.
After a long period of silence, Zhao Yi raised his head, his eyes filled with determination as he said, "Alright, I'm willing to submit to you. I'm willing to be demonized, but the condition is that you have to give me enough power!"
"Hehehe, don't worry. As long as you demonize, you can easily kill a Qiyao Realm King, let alone mere Liuhe Realm Grandmasters like the Taiyi Holy Lord!" The laughter in his mind was filled with endless evil.
Pitch black traces of demonization gradually appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes...
Qin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating in his wooden house, suddenly felt something. He looked in a certain direction and frowned, "Hm? There's actually demonic energy here, and it's even denser and more evil than the demonic shadow in the Demon Sealing Land. Could it be that there are some demonic creatures hidden in the Taiyi Holy Land?"
However, when he sensed it carefully again, the demonic energy disappeared, and he could not sense it effectively.
In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed.
On this day, the Taiyi Holy Lord announced that he was appointing the Holy Daughter Ling Ran as the next Holy Lord.
More than 90% of the elders and disciples in the Holy Land agreed.
It was no surprise, though. After all, Ling Ran was the most outstanding genius of the Taiyi Holy Land since ancient times.
The Holy Son Zhao Yi didn't object at all. He just calmly looked at the Holy Land's upper echelons, including the Holy Lord.
At night, on the Holy Lord's mountain.
In the Holy Lord's Palace, the Taiyi Holy Lord's face was pale, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
A terrifying palm print could be clearly seen on his chest, burning with wisps of black demonic flames.
The palm print and the black demonic flames were imprinted on the Holy Lord's chest. Even though the Taiyi Holy Lord was a great expert at level eight of the Liuhe Realm and had hopes of reaching the Qiyao Realm, he couldn't expel the demonic flame palm print even with his exquisite cultivation.
On the contrary, the demonic flame palm print had severely injured the Taiyi Holy Lord. Demonic energy invaded his body, and his aura was weak and dispirited.
Behind the Holy Lord, the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land appeared one after another. They looked at the handsome young man who was a hundred feet away with disbelief and anger.
"Zhao Yi, as the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land, how dare you attack the Holy Lord?" A Supreme Elder's face was filled with shock and anger, but also pain.
The devilish-looking young man, who was shrouded in a pitch-black light, was none other than the Holy Son, Zhao Yi.
However, the current Zhao Yi no longer had his usual divine and extraordinary appearance. On the contrary, he appeared dark and strange, as if he had been demonized.
Just two hours ago, Zhao Yi had informed the Holy Lord and the esteemed Supreme Elders that he had an important matter to report.
However, when they arrived, they found a demonic flame palm print on the Holy Lord's chest. His face was pale, and he was seriously injured.
Obviously, it was Zhao Yi's doing.
Zhao Yi looked at them with a sneer and said, "Holy Son? How laughable. If I can't become the Holy Lord, what was the use of being the Holy Son? Wouldn't it be better to just kill all of you, and then I'll take the position of Holy Lord?"
The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace was extremely shocked and furious when he heard that. He bellowed, "You evil spawn, how dare you deceive and hurt your Master? What's the use of having you? Why don't I just kill you directly!"
Then, the Supreme Elder rushed forward and slapped towards Zhao Yi's face. His palm contained a terrifying power that could kill a Wuxing Realm Grandmaster.
It was apparent that the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace already had the intention to kill Zhao Yi in his anger.
However, Zhao Yi did not dodge. He slapped a palm out as well and it collided with the Tribunal Elder's palm.
Boom!
A mist of blood exploded. It was the Tribunal Elder's hand. His palm and arm had exploded.

Qiyao Realm King, Zhao Yi, Invincible
"How is this possible?" The Tribunal Elder staggered backward and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief. Although he was not as powerful as the Holy Lord, he was still an expert in level five of the Liuhe Realm. He was unrivaled in the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
In his opinion, Zhao Yi was only on level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Although he had injured the Holy Lord, it must have been a sneak attack.
But now, in a head-on battle, he had been injured by Zhao Yi.
This clearly proved that Zhao Yi's strength was even stronger than his.
Zhao Yi stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace with eyes full of ridicule and said, "You're only at level five of the Liuhe Realm. You're not even as strong as Lu Xuan, and you dare to attack me? How ridiculous."
The Taiyi Holy Lord's name was Lu Xuan.
The other Supreme Elders all looked at Zhao Yi in shock. He had defeated the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Council in a single move, and his words clearly showed that he didn't think much of the Taiyi Holy Lord. Didn't this mean that his strength was far from level nine of the Wuxing Realm?
Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, took a deep breath and used his cultivation to temporarily suppress the demonic flame palm print on his chest. He looked at Zhao Yi and said with a pained expression, "Zhao Yi, why did you betray the Taiyi Holy Land?"
"Betray the Taiyi Holy Land?" Zhao Yi sneered. At this moment, his entire body was emitting a huge amount of demonic energy, making him look very demonic.
He sneered and said, "I'm the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land. How would I betray the Taiyi Holy Land? I simply can't stand the decline of the Taiyi Holy Land, so I plan to clean it up and lead it back to its peak. It's just that if I lead it under normal circumstances, the return to glory is too slow. It's a complete waste of time. That's why I'm planning to turn the Taiyi Holy Land into a Demonic Holy Land. I'll unseal the demonic palace that the founding master had sealed and wake the slumbering demonic Sage. As long as the demonic Sage comes to, the Holy Land of Taiyi will become a Demonic Holy Land in a very short time. At that time, no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands, or even the entire Canglan Continent, will be a match for the Holy Land of Taiyi! The Holy Land of Taiyi will finally rule the world!"
Everyone's expression changed.
"The demonic Sage!?" The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace said hurriedly, "Zhao Yi, you can't do that. That's not a demonic Sage, but a Sage of the ten thousand ancient races, a true Demon King. In the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races fed on humans and harmed them, causing countless lives to be lost. Once the Demon King is released, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land will be able to stop him. Everyone here will even be completely reduced to the food of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race, and no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands will be able to stop him! The Taiyi Holy Land's reputation will be ruined if we release the Demon King!"
"Elders, you're thinking too much. It won't be like this," Zhao Yi said.
The Taiyi Holy Lord coughed out a mouthful of blood and said, "Zhao Yi, you've been demonized and demonic thoughts has been born within you. You're a good child with a bright future. You shouldn't demonize!"
"No, no, no, you're wrong. I didn't go mad, nor did I give birth to demonic thoughts. I let the demonic thoughts enter my body," Zhao Yi sneered. When these words came out of his mouth, it made everyone's expression change.
They finally understood that Zhao Yi must have been affected by the demonic thoughts of the Demon King that the Sage ancestors had brought back in the past.
The Demon King must have awakened by now. It was just that he was sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land by the Sage ancestor and could not break out of the seal. However, there must be a loophole in the seal. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have been affected by the Demon King's demonic thoughts, and he would not have been demonized.
The Taiyi Holy Lord's expression changed slightly, but he still hoped that Zhao Yi would return to the right path, "Zhao Yi, put down your demonic thoughts and return to the right path. Since ancient times, evil has never been able to win against good. If you become a demon, you will be the enemy of the world!"
"Hahaha, if the world is my enemy, I will slaughter the entire world!" Zhao Yi laughed heartily, his entire person filled with demonic nature.
He then looked at them and said, "Cut the crap! I'm going to kill all of you right now! Then, I'll start the sacrificial ritual and unseal the Demon King of the ancient race!"
Boom!
Demonic energy filled the sky!
Zhao Yi's body rippled with endless dark demonic energy, which swept toward the people of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Everyone's expression changed, "This is the aura at the Qiyao Realm!"
"Oh no, this evil spawn has actually reached the Qiyao Realm. It must be the power that the Demon King gave him!"
"It's said that the ancient Sages could cut down mountains and rivers with a single strand of hair. It's indeed shocking!"
Having said that, everyone still made their moves at the first moment and struck out one after another, crazily colliding with the monstrous demonic energy.
Whoosh—
The monstrous demonic energy was torn apart, and one divine technique after another hit Zhao Yi's body.
However, Zhao Yi's body simply trembled, and an even more terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, annihilating all of these divine techniques. In the next instant, he charged over.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a few moments, all the Supreme Elders were sent flying and smashed into the palace walls. Blood was spurting out of their mouths as they couldn't take it anymore.
Even the Holy Lord was sent flying with injuries.
All of the top experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were sent flying with just one move. They were no match for the enemy.
The might of a Qiyao Realm King was fully displayed!
"In my mission to change the Taiyi Holy Land, I'll start with you, Holy Lord!" Zhao Yi sneered as he looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord and walked forward. The demonic energy on his body became even more terrifying, and it covered Heaven and Earth as if it was going to drown him.
Kacha!
At this moment, a brilliant purple light suddenly bloomed!
Ling Ran appeared. She descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Yi in an instant, blocking his attack.
Seeing Ling Ran, Zhao Yi sneered, "Ling Ran, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
There was a sharp sword in Ling Ran's hand, and it released rays of purple light that turned into layers of clear light circles to protect the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others. She said coldly,"Zhao Yi, put down your blade and return to the right path. If you do that, you're still the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land."
"The Holy Son?" Zhao Yi said coldly, "I don't care about that position anymore. Today, I'll kill all of you, and the Holy Lord's position will be mine. So, I'll have to trouble all of you to die!"
The demonic energy was vast and mighty as Zhao Yi rushed over.
Ling Ran held the sharp sword in her hand, and her body released rays of deep purple light. Her Zixia Body communicated with Heaven and Earth, and an amazing aura spread out from her. She was actually at level four of the Liuhe Realm!
It had to be said that her cultivation speed could be said to be advancing a thousand miles a day. After all, she had only entered the Liuhe Realm five years ago, which meant she had advanced a level every year.
One had to know that at the later stages of cultivation, every step forward would require more time and effort than before to achieve.
Even The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders in the Liuhe Realm took hundreds of years to reach thier realms. Yet, Ling Ran had only spent five years to reach level four of the Liuhe Realm. As expected of someone with the legendary Zixia Body and the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. She was indeed extraordinary!
No wonder the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others thought so highly of her and believed that she could become a Qiyao Realm King within a hundred years.
"It's no use. I've already advanced to the Qiyao Realm. You're too weak!" Zhao Yi sneered and released a palm attack, easily blocking Ling Ran's attack. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and terrifying demonic energy surged out and sent Ling Ran flying. Her delicate body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and she fell to the side.
"Ling Ran, you're indeed extraordinary. If you were also a Qiyao Realm King, it would've been difficult for me to defeat you. It's a pity that you're not one yet," Zhao Yi said indifferently.

Zhao Yi: The One Who Killed Me is a Janitor?
"I advise you not to waste your efforts. I've already obtained the Demon King's inheritance and am already in the Qiyao Realm. Unless a late-stage Qiyao Realm King appears, then only will I turn and leave without a word. Unfortunately, the Taiyi Holy Land has long declined. The most powerful cultivator here is only at level eight of the Liuhe Realm, far inferior to me. How can they compete with me? Since you don't have any experts, you'd better just obediently die!" As soon as Zhao Yi's voice fell, a pitch-black demonic fog quickly shrouded the palace, blocking all light and making it seem dim.
Under the suppression of the demonic energy, everyone's aura gradually weakened. It was difficult for them to withstand the demonic might.
"Oh no! Is the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed because of a traitor?" A Supreme Elder's face was filled with despair.
Although the Taiyi Holy Land had the foundations of a Holy Land and could suppress Zhao Yi, the means they had needed time to activate. No one had expected this to happen.
Everything had happened too suddenly, thus leading to the current situation.
To think that the great Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed not because of external forces, but because of internal strife caused by a disciple who had been demonized. How ridiculous was this?
Yet, all of it was happening right in front of their eyes.
"Die, all of you, die! Sacrifice yourselves and the Demon King will grant me more power!" Zhao Yi laughed sinisterly and attacked the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others, especially Ling Ran. The Zixia Body was remarkable and contained an extraordinary bloodline. If he could absorb it, his cultivation level would improve even further.
When the Taiyi Holy Lord saw this, he gritted his teeth. Suddenly, his entire body started to burn, and an even stronger power appeared in him. Even the demonic flame palm print on his chest disappeared.
Clearly, he was prepared to sacrifice himself.
"Holy Lord!" Everyone cried out in alarm.
However, the Taiyi Holy Lord said firmly, "As Zhao Yi's master, I'm also responsible for him demonizing. I can't let him destroy the Taiyi Holy Land, or I'll be ashamed to face the ancestors even if I die. You guys can leave. I'm here. At least, it won't be a problem for me to stop him. You guys can take the opportunity to recover and kill this evil spawn!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of shocking power surged out. In that instant, the Taiyi Holy Lord, who had burned his blood essence, also reached the Qiyao Realm.
When the Supreme Elders and Ling Ran saw this, although they were extremely sorrowful, they knew that this was the only way out. Tears fell down their faces as they turned around and wanted to leave.
Terrifying battle ripples were behind them.
However, they didn't dare to look back at all, for fear that they would miss the precious opportunity and be chased and killed by the demonized Zhao Yi.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Taiyi Holy Lord's figure flew backward and crashed into the palace, collapsing it.
The demonic fog once again enveloped the entire Holy Lord mountain, sealing it off and making it impossible to leave.
Zhao Yi's body was shrouded in a strong demonic light. He looked at the people who had yet to escape and sneered, "So what if he burned his lifespan to reach the Qiyao Realm? I, Zhao Yi, am no ordinary King."
At this moment, the Supreme Elders were filled with despair when they saw the pale-faced Holy Lord with blood on his lips.
Ling Ran also gritted her teeth, and a hint of despair appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
At this moment, Qin Chen silently appeared on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. His Martial Arts Heavenly Eye witnessed everything and he sighed softly, "The Taiyi Holy Land is where I grew up and has treated me well. I can't just watch it be destroyed. Besides, there are still many places in the Taiyi Holy Land that I haven't checked in to."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a golden needle appeared. It was something he had obtained from checking-in in the past, and it was made of immortal material.
Although he had just casually thrown it aside, it was no ordinary item.
At this moment, Qin Chen flicked his finger, and the golden needle instantly pierced through the void, crossing a thousand miles and appearing on the Holy Lord's mountain.
The pitch-black demonic fog that enveloped the entire Holy Lord's mountain seemed to have been burned by Emperor flames. In an instant, it was reduced to nothing, and an empty passage appeared.
The golden needle arrived like a bolt of golden lightning.
"This is—" Zhao Yi reacted and subconsciously moved his palm forward to block, but the golden light easily broke through his palm and rushed towards his forehead.
"Shit!" Zhao Yi's expression changed drastically, but he couldn't dodge because the golden needle was too fast. He let out a huge cry in a hurry, and a demonic pattern full of demonic energy emerged between his eyebrows, intertwining into a special ancient character, which vaguely contained a trace of the Holy path aura.
It was a Holy inscription that could only be constructed by a Sage in the Jiutian Realm. It had been given to him by the Demon King of the ancient race, enough to withstand an attack from a Venerable.
The golden needle hit the Holy path demonic pattern and, with a clang, was blocked.
But the Holy path demonic pattern also shattered.
Zhao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but he still felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for the life-saving means given by the Demon King, he would have been dead this time.
At the same time, his face turned solemn.
To think the Taiyi Holy Land had such a super expert. Had its foundation recovered?
But it shouldn't be that fast.
However, at this moment, an unparalleled sense of danger suddenly appeared in Zhao Yi's heart. A second golden light appeared in an instant and directly pierced through the space between his eyebrows. With a pfft sound, it came out from the back of his head.
"This, this is—" Zhao Yi's eyes quickly lost focus. Just as his primordial spirit was being annihilated, he looked into the distance and saw an ordinary figure standing on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. The figure was also looking at him from a hundred miles away, and the other party's expression was very calm.
At this moment, Zhao Yi recognized the other party's identity, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
It was him?
How was it possible?
Wasn't he just an abandoned Prince of a divine dynasty in dire straits?
Wasn't he just trash with a mortal body who couldn't cultivate?
Wasn't he just a janitor?
Normally, he swept the floor in the Taiyi Holy Land and was inconspicuous.
Zhao Yi had never expected that he would be such a great expert.
Crash–
Even after he fell to the ground, Zhao Yi still couldn't believe that the janitor whom he had always looked down on was such a hidden expert.
...
On the Holy Lord's mountain, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others looked at this scene in a daze. They couldn't come back to their senses even after witnessing Zhao Yi's death.
A moment ago, Zhao Yi had been like the sovereign of the world with monstrous demonic power. They were all injured lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They were even full of despair, thinking that the Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed in the future.
Then, in the next moment, a golden light flashed, and the great demon Zhao Yi was killed just like that.
That was a great demon, a Qiyao Realm King, yet he had been killed so silently and swiftly.
One of the elders couldn't help but say to the Holy Lord excitedly, "Holy Lord, to think the Holy Land has such a peerless master! He's really hidden well, which senior do you think he is?"

Thirty Years, Half-step Venerable
All the Holy Land elders were excited!
To be able to kill a Qiyao Realm King in an instant, the other party had to be at the peak of the Qiyao Realm at the very least. It was very likely that the other party was an existence that was half a step into the Bahuang Realm. The other party might even be a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
If the Taiyi Holy Land had a Bahuang Realm Venerable, it might be able to revive and return to its former peak.
At the very least, a Bahuang Realm Venerable would be enough to make the Taiyi Holy Land inviolable.
After all, it was extremely difficult to produce a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm in the Dharma-Ending Age.
The other Supreme Elders all looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord with excitement. Did the Taiyi Holy Land really have such a terrifying senior?
The Taiyi Holy Lord smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be the foundational old senior sealed in the holy weapon. Zhao Yi's arrival was too sudden, and I didn't have time to summon him."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They had also rushed to the location the golden light had come from at the first moment, but there was no one there.
The expert that was quite possibly in the Bahuang Realm that had made a move had left a long time ago.
"I didn't expect there to be such a peerless expert in the Taiyi Holy Land," The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, "But I can see that the senior doesn't want to appear. We shouldn't force him."
Hearing this, the other elders all sighed helplessly.
Although all of them hoped that the old senior would step forward to guard the Holy Land, if the senior was not willing to come out, there was nothing they could do.
Ling Ran was the only one who looked pensively at the pair of footprints left on the ground. They gave off a familiar aura.
She was wondering if the person who had made a move just now was the same person who had given her the divine medicine and the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra".
...
Qin Chen, who had returned to his residence, seemed to have done something ordinary.
More importantly, he didn't want to show his face in public now. He just wanted to keep a low profile.
Keeping a low profile was the right way!
If the world were to know about him, it would definitely bring about a lot of trouble.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
It had been thirty years since he had acquired the check-in system, and Qin Chen had also checked in for the thirty years period.
During this period, he checked in all over the Taiyi Holy Land and obtained countless treasures.
He found that the Taiyi Holy Land was really a place of treasure. To think he had gained so many great rewards by just checking in.
He was increasingly sure that the Taiyi Holy Land was no ordinary place. First, there was the Emperor relic of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, then there was the quasi-emperor grade weapon. How could this be a simple place?
Of course, because Qin Chen had obtained countless treasures in the past 30 years, his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that ordinary people could not imagine.
Unknowingly, he was already in level nine of the Qiyao Realm, already a half-step Venerable.
In the world of cultivation, it was divided into 10 great realms: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian, and Shifang.
Those in the Liuhe Realm were also known as Grandmasters. The Supreme Elders of the immortal inheritances from the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly at this level.
Of course, the current Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land was also at this level.
Once one transcended the Liuhe Realm, one could be crowned as a King in the mortal world.
Those in the Qiyao Realm were known as Kings. The Family Lords, Holy Lords, and Imperial Lords of the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly all in this realm. In the Canglan Continent of the present era, they could be considered super experts who could move unhindered in the world.
Those in the Bahuang Realm were known as Venerables and respected by all.
To even barely manage to advance to the Bahuang Realm, the Kings had to go through the legendary Path-seeking tribulation, and only one out of 20 to 30 Kings could survive it.
After the ancient era, Heaven and Earth suppressed cultivation, and the difficulty of cultivation had increased greatly. Countless geniuses had stopped at the Qiyao Realm. In the entire Canglan Continent, the number of Venerables at the Bahuang Realm could probably be counted with one hand.
There was no doubt that Venerables could already overlook the entire Canglan Continent.
Qin Chen was now at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, only one step away from becoming a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
This was even a result of his intentional suppression, not wanting to improve too quickly and cause his foundation to be unstable. Otherwise, he would have broken through long ago.
At the same time, Qin Chen was still keeping a low profile. Although he had reached the peak of the Qiyao Realm in 30 years and with the terrifying potential of the Chaotic Holy Body, the strongest body in history, he could challenge those of a higher realm than him, allowing him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bahunag Venerables, he still felt that his strength was not enough and continued to hide in the Taiyi Holy Land.
This was because there had been signs of the ten thousand ancient races emerging in recent years.
Now that Heaven and Earth were gradually recovering and the Dharma-Ending Age was about to end, the ten thousand ancient races would definitely choose to appear in this era.
By then, many Kings and Venerbales would appear, as well as Jiutian Realm Sages. Qin Chen was currently only a peak King on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. He was nothing even in front of Venerables in the Bahuang Realm, let alone Sages in the Jiutian Realm, who were rumored to be able to kill a King in the Qiyao Realm with a single strand of hair.
Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen still felt that he had to keep a low profile. He had to become a Jiutian Realm Sage who had proven his path, or even better, reach Shifang Divine Realm before barely showing himself.
Of course, it would be best if he could become an Emperor who had proven his path. Then, he could be invincible.
All this time, to confuse the others in the Holy Land, Qin Chen would continue to check in while making his appearance look older. However, because he could practice martial arts, he only looked forty years old.
The fact that he could not cultivate successfully even after 30 years made the other people in the Taiyi Holy Land even more disappointed in Qin Chen, who was already an abandoned Prince. So of course, they did not pay attention to him and let him continue to sweep the floor.
As for the senior servant, Qin Chen had silently transferred some divine power into him to cleanse his meridians and marrow. The other party could now cultivate, but he had only reached the Liangyi Realm. Though, his lifespan had increased a lot.
After all, he had helped Qin Chen before, so Qin Chen naturally did not want to watch him die of old age.
But he couldn't let the old servant's cultivation increase too quickly, or else it would arouse suspicion.
"I'm already on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. The next step is to break through to the Bahuang Realm. It's said that to reach that realm, one has to seek one's path, cutting off a part of one's self, be it emotions, or demonic barriers, and so on. But it will also be a narrow escape, and there is the danger of death. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, with the system, it's destined that there won't be much danger," Qin Chen mumbled to himself as he lay on the wooden bed. He looked at the starry sky through the window. He had decided that his next step would be to seek his path, sever all the shackles, and walk on the path of the strongest.
On this day, Qin Chen went to the Taiyi Main Hall to sweep the floor as usual.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the check-in reward: Baoshan Seal!]
[Note: as the host has checked in multiple times at the Taiyi Main Hall, the host can not proceed with the next check-in!]
This was already the umpteenth time Qin Chen had checked in at the Taiyi Main Hall, and he was slightly taken aback when he heard the system's voice.
However, in the past thirty years, he had checked in at least a hundred times here, so no matter how powerful the divinity here was, it should have been exhausted.
It was fine though, he would just not check in at the Taiyi Main Hall in the future.
All of a sudden, a beautiful figure descended from the sky and landed in the Taiyi Main Hall, attracting the attention of many disciples.
"Heavens, it's her Highness the Holy Daughter!"
"I feel that the Holy Daughter has become stronger. She's even stronger than many Supreme Elders!"
"That's right. Her Highness, the Holy Daughter, entered the Liuhe Realm fifteen years ago. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, only a few Supreme Elders can surpass her, except for the Holy Lord!"
"The Holy Daughter is the most talented person in the history of the Taiyi Holy Land. She has the legendary Zixia Body. She was born with a path that is unparalleled. I'm afraid her cultivation is no inferior to the Holy Lord's!"
"With Her Highness's talent, she has a high chance of becoming the next Holy Lord!

The Emergence of the Emperor Relic, the Arrival of Parties All Over the Southern Desolate Lands
There were many disciples in the Taiyi Main Palace. When they looked at the Holy Daughter Ling Ran, their eyes were filled with respect and enthusiasm.
Even some of the elders stroked their beards and felt gratified when they looked at her.
Ling Ran was the most talented disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land in the last 10000 years. She had the legendary Zixia Body, which could make her a King or even a Venerable.
She was also the hope of the entire Taiyi Holy Land. She had a great chance of breaking through to higher realms in the future, leading the Taiyi Holy Land back to its peak.
Fifteen years ago, she had stepped into the Liuhe Realm. Now, she was about to take the final step and become a Qiyao Realm King.
One had to admit that her talent was truly extraordinary. After all, she had only cultivated for less than fifty years.
Ling Ran's body was surrounded by layers of divine light, and she looked like a celestial who had come to the mortal world with her surging spiritual energy. When she stepped into the Taiyi Main Palace, she paused for a moment and caught a glimpse of Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor as he had been for the past thirty years. She frowned slightly and sensed that he had yet to enter the path of cultivation.
Back then, she had given Qin Chen a spirit stone. Even the most ordinary mortal could activate their divine sea and step into the Yiyuan Realm, becoming a cultivator who could fight against the heavens.
Forget it.
Ling Ran shook her head a little disappointedly before she entered the main palace.
Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran's beautiful figure as she left. His gaze was very calm, and he did not look at her with the same enthusiasm and respect that the other disciples looked at her with.
Level six of the Liuhe Realm!
He could tell Ling Ran's cultivation realm at a glance.
Her cultivation speed could be considered quite fast. After all, Ling Ran's cultivation time was only ten years more than Qin Chen's. In just forty years, she had reached the peak of the Liuhe Realm Grandmaster and was one step into Qiyao Realm. In the entire Canglan Continent, she was definitely one of the most outstanding.
In the future, she would have a high chance of becoming a King or even a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm.
Then he glanced at the new Holy Son Lu Feng, who had been selected by the Taiyi Holy Land after Zhao Yi's death. He was now on level nine of the Wuxing Realm.
He was also quite talented but paled in comparison to Ling Ran.
For a declining Holy Land like the Taiyi Holy Land, he was considered very good though. If he went one step further, he would be a Grandmaster.
However, Heaven knows how long it would take for Lu Feng to take that step.
After the Holy Son and Holy Daughter entered the Taiyi Main Palace, the doors closed and the disciples had no choice but to leave.
Qin Chen stood outside the main palace, but his hearing was extremely sharp. Even though the main place was isolated with an array, he could still clearly hear the conversation inside.
The general meaning of the discussion that was going on inside was that there was a demonic palace sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land, and the Divine Spirit was sealing an extremely terrifying Demon King within.
It was the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race who had induced the previous Holy Son, Zhao Yi, to be demonized.
Recently, demonic energy had been appearing frequently in the Taiyi Holy Land, which was a sign that the Demon King was about to come to the world once more.
However, the place where the Demon King was sealed had not been thoroughly explored till now.
The Taiyi Holy Land planned to gather some talented disciples and leave the Holy Land temporarily to avoid being affected by the birth of the Demon King.
Not long after, the door of the Taiyi Main Palace opened. Ling Ran and Lu Feng walked out with serious expressions. They were surprised to see Qin Chen sweeping the floor outside the palace.
However, the two of them did not pay much attention to him. They did not think that he could hear the conversation in the Taiyi Main Palace.
Lu Feng soared into the sky. On the other hand, just as Ling Ran was about to leave, she looked in Qin Chen's direction and said, "The Holy Land might not be safe for the time being. You'd better leave the mountain and hide."
After saying that, she did not wait for Qin Chen's reaction before soaring into the sky and left on a rainbow.
Seeing Ling Ran and Lu Feng leave, the Taiyi Holy Lord, who was in the main palace, had a grave expression on his face, "Recently, many demonic lands have appeared in the Holy Land, which is a sign of the birth of the demonic palace. The Taiyi Holy Land will soon become unstable, so we have no choice but to let them leave. They are the future of the Taiyi Holy Land. We can't lose them. "
Outside the palace, Qin Chen silently looked into the Taiyi Main Palace.
The demonic land had appeared, so was the demonic palace going to appear?
After receiving the reward for checking in, Qin Chen returned to the back mountain. He had set up an array in his residence on the back mountain that only ancient Sages could find. He spent his time cultivating in it.
He silently cultivated. After a day and a night, he felt that the divine power in his body had increased a little more. Satisfied, he got up and prepared to leave.
Qin Chen was already at level nine of the Qihuang Realm. As a peak King, he could take the step and become a Venerable any time he wanted to.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. The most important thing in cultivation was one's foundation. Besides, he felt that his speed in cultivation of becoming a King from a mortal in 30 years was already very heaven-defying. He couldn't rush it. He had to take it slow.
After that, Qin Chen cultivated some supernormal knowledge and silently deduced them in his heart, trying to master and familiarize himself with them.
Among the knowledge, he also felt the profoundness of the quasi-emperor grade weapon "Taihuang". To think it contained the divine power of a Venerable. It was very powerful, and once activated, would be equivalent to the full power of a great Venerable.
Qin Chen knew that it must be the power left behind by the great senior who had left behind the Demon Sealing Land.
Was it targeted at the great demon of the ancient race that was sealed by the Sage ancestor?
A day later, Qin Chen came out of seclusion and continued to check in at various places in the Taiyi Holy Land.
Unfortunately, the reality could not be as peaceful as Qin Chen wanted it to be. On this day, a terrifying quake of the great path occurred in the back mountain of the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the place where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left his footsteps, a terrifying light suddenly shot up into the sky. It shook the entire Taiyi Holy Land in an instant and shot up into the sky at an astonishing speed.
The Holy Lord and the elders of the Taiyi Holy Land were the first to be alarmed. At this moment, they were looking at the light of the Emperor relic in distress. They were not pleasantly surprised at all. On the contrary, they were extremely distressed.
This was because the Taiyi Holy Land was only a Holy Land that had declined for many years. It could be compared to its past. It didn't even have a King in the Qihuang Realm. The appearance of an Emperor relic would definitely attract the attention of all the Holy Lands, ancient families, ancient dynasties, and other immortal forces.
After those people arrived, they would definitely fight over the Emperor relic, and the Taiyi Holy Land would most likely be turned into ruins.
The Emperor relic's light soared into the sky, much stronger than when Qin Chen had checked in. It broke through the clouds and penetrated the barrier of the Taiyi Holy Land, shaking the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles.
The many ancient families and immortal Holy Lands in the Southern Desolate Land were all shocked. All the Kings looked in that direction with surprise. "It's the fluctuation of an ancient Emperor!"
"Such a fluctuation, could it be that an Emperor relic has appeared?"
Countless forces in the Southern Desolate Land were alarmed. The appearance of the Emperor relic was definitely a world-shaking event.

The Demon King's Appearance
After all, ancient great emperors were the strongest existences in history. Only one could be born in each era.
They were existences who had invincible might in the past and the present. When they were alive, they looked down on the entire great cosmos, and every talent would have to bow their heads. Even the former Heavenly Venerables and the Ancient Emperors of the seven great Life Forbidden Zones had to bow their heads.
The factions that those existences had built were also the most powerful in the world, with immortal inheritances that have been passed down for millions of years.
Now that the Emperor relic had appeared, within would definitely be some of the ancient great emperor's legacy.
In the Southern Desolate Land, countless forces rushed to the Taiyi Holy Land.
Countless powerful auras appeared, covering Heaven and Earth, and descending into the Taiyi Holy Land.
There were huge divine ships, carriages pulled by savage beasts... All of them represented the arrival of a faction. Their might suppressed a region, all majestic.
The Taiyi Holy Land was on guard as if it was facing a great enemy. Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, had already soared into the sky with a group of elders to welcome the other parties.
He cupped his fists helplessly and said, "Welcome to the Taiyi Holy Land, Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords. We're sorry for not coming out to welcome you."
In the sky, the Holy Lords of immortal Holy Lands, Family Lords of ancient families, and Imperial Lords of ancient dynasties stood in the air. Divine might that could shake the void flowed from their bodies. Like Gods standing high in the air, they looked at the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land and nodded slightly.
After all, he was still a Holy Lord, even though his Holy Land had long declined.
However, the status of him being the Holy Lord was enough for him to be on an equal footing with them. Nodding in acknowledgment was a form of respect for his status.
They couldn't ignore the fact that they were here for the Emperor relic, though. The Holy Lord from the Wanchu Holy Land said, "Taiyi Holy Lord, we're here with the wish to take a look at the Emperor relic."
Although he said that, his tone did not allow for any rejection.
How could the Taiyi Holy Lord reject the request? Even if he stopped them, they would still enter anyway. They were just giving him some respect.
Lu Xuan, the Taiyi Saint Lord, could only agree with a bitter smile.
The various Kings of the many factions entered one after another, heading toward the Emperor relic.
The Emperor relic was filled with boundless light. As waves of chaos energy spread, a small world appeared indistinctly.
In the small world, the light was even more dazzling, interweaved with all kinds of laws and divine chains of order. There was a magnificent palace there, which surprised and delighted all the Kings, "It's a great Emperor's palace!"
Only a great Emperor's palace would be like this. The palace of an ancient great emperor would definitely contain countless treasures that tempted the Kings of the various factions to the extreme.
All the Kings rushed in to find the true divine treasure of the great Emperor.
Seeing that these Kings had completely ignored the Taiyi Holy Land, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others could only smile bitterly. Ling Ran, who was standing behind them, remained silent.
Although she was already at level nine of the Liuhe Realm and could become a true King in the Qiyao Realm at any time, even if she succeeded, she would still be nothing compared to these Kings. After all, they were all senior Kings who had lived for one or two thousand years. Their cultivation was profound. There were even living aged fossils among them, who were only one step away from the Bahuang Realm.
On a mountain peak in the distance, Qin Chen's figure appeared without a sound. When he saw the appearance of the great Emperor's palace, he frowned because he had a bad feeling. It was as if there was a terrifying and ominous existence inside the palace.
All of a sudden, endless light shot up into the sky from the Emperor's palace.
"Ah—" A scream.
In the next moment, the figures of the Kings from the Holy Lands, families, and ancient dynasties who had rushed into the great Emperor's palace flew out one after another. Their bodies were covered in blood and they were in a sorry state. They looked at the palace with shock and anger.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying demonic energy suddenly soared into the sky and swept across the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
The demonic might was unparalleled, even much stronger than the various Kings.
It was mighty and fierce!
"This demonic energy... Shit! Could it be that the ancient race Demon King that had been sealed by the Sage back then is in the great Emperor's palace?" The Taiyi Holy Lord and the elders' expressions changed. They felt the familiar demonic energy. It was similar to the demonic energy Zhao Yi had released back then, only countless times stronger.
In the great Emperor's palace, a tall and burly giant man appeared. He had nine huge horns on his head, and his whole body was shrouded in ink-black demonic energy. He was fifteen feet tall and held a giant ax. His body exuded an unparalleled aura, which caused the surrounding void to collapse. It was difficult to withstand his demonic might.
"Not good, there's a demonic creature, and it's very strong. I'm afraid it's a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm!"
The expressions of all the Kings changed. Not long ago, a Supreme Elder of a Holy Land had been torn in half by a demonic creature and died a tragic death. Even his primordial spirit had been devoured.
Outside the great Emperor's palace, all the Kings looked at this demon-like man with grave expressions. He was extremely powerful, and they all felt great pressure.
Among them, a few of the Qiyao Realm Kings were injured. They were wounded with injuries so deep that their bones could be seen, and the terrifying demonic energy on the wounds was like maggots that could not be removed. Even with their King-level cultivation, they were unable to dispel it in a short time. One could imagine how terrifying this demonic energy was.
"How is this the great Emperor's palace? it's clearly a demonic palace. My God, if it weren't for the arrival of all the Kings, the Taiyi Holy Land would have been razed to the ground today," An elder of the Taiyi Holy Land couldn't help but say.
The appearance of the great Emperor's palace was a great temptation for the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, the Holy Land might even be able to become stronger and return to its former glory with the Emperor relic. However, if the demon Venerable were to reappear, it would be a great disaster for the Taiyi Holy Land. It would destroy the entire place.
Now, the Taiyi Holy Land was relieved that the Kings of the other Holy Lands, ancient families, and ancient dynasties had all come. At least, they would be able to contain the demonic creature.
The giant man who looked like a Demon King laughed out loud, his voice reverberating in all directions, "After so many years, I, Yang Tiancheng, have finally broken free!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces changed.
"Yang Tiancheng? Could it be the Demonic Venerable, Yang Tiancheng, who shook the Central Province three thousand years ago?"
"I'm afraid it's really that Demonic Venerable. I didn't expect that he would be trapped here and has now come out!"
Three thousand years ago, a Demonic Venerable dominated the world. Only a few peerless Venerables could compete with him.
However, that year, the Demonic Venerable suddenly disappeared. Could it be that he had been trapped in the great Emperor's palace when exploring the place?
"He isn't the ancient race Sage-level Demon King that the Sage ancestor suppressed?" The Taiyi Holy Lord frowned, "But how did Yang Tiancheng enter the great Emperor's palace in the Taiyi Holy Land?"
He simply couldn't understand the cause and effect.
The Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng's eyes were as dark as the night. He scanned the many Kings present and felt the exuberant blood energy in their bodies. He licked his lips and said, "If not for the seal array left behind by ancient Sage Tai Yun, I wouldn't have been trapped here for 3000 years. Now that I've finally made it out, I didn't expect to see so much blood for food."
He looked at the Kings like he was looking at delicious food.

Unparalleled Demonic Might
Boom!
Demonic might filled the sky as the Demonic Venerable attacked a King from a Holy Land in the sky.
That was a Supreme Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land. He had reached the Qiyao Realm and immediately derived 108 divine light rings to protect himself. This was the supreme secret technique of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Once the divine light was released, nothing could break it.
However, that was only probable to enemies in the same realm. The power of the Demonic Venerable was unprecedented in the Bahuang Realm. He was a true Demonic Venerable. He simply broke through the defense of the Yaoguang Holy Land's Supreme Elder and grabbed him.
With a loud boom, a Supreme Elder at the Qiyao Realm was killed just like that, turning into dust.
The exploded primordial spirit and the torn flesh were all devoured by the Demon Venerable. With that, the Demonic Venerable's aura rose to another terrifying level.
"Attack! We can't let him continue attacking. He can devour the power of our flesh and primordial spirit to strengthen himself!" A Holy Lord roared.
All the Kings could naturally see how powerful the Demonic Venerable was, and they didn't dare to be careless as they attacked.
However, the Demonic Venerable was too powerful. He was a Bahuang Realm Venerable. He didn't meet the attacks head-on. He knew that with so many attacks, he would be injured if he took them head-on, no matter how strong he was. Thus, he dodged all the attacks and appeared in front of the Yaoguang Holy Lord. His huge hand, which contained an infinite amount of demonic energy, slammed down.
Boom!
The cultivation level of the Yaoguang Holy Lord was higher than that of the Supreme Elder just now. He was at level eight of the Qiyao Realm and could be considered a top King. 108 divine halos appeared on his body as if they were connected to 108 worlds. They exuded a vast power and turned into an immortal Holy Shield to resist.
Behind him, the terrifying phenomenon of "Brilliant Nine Heaven" appeared. It stacked on top of the secret technique of the Yaoguang Holy Land, composing a two-layer shield.
However, the defense of the divine light and the phenomenon was still forcefully broken through.
The gap between each major realm was huge. The Demonic Venerable was much stronger than the Yaoguang Holy Lord, so the former was able to severely injure the latter.
Of course, the Yaoguang Holy Lord was also very powerful. He managed to block that attack and wasn't killed. However, half of his body was also torn apart. He burned his lifespan to retreat like lightning and luckily survived.
The attacks of the Kings behind him filled the void and headed toward the Demonic Venerable.
The Demonic Venerable dodged half of the attacks, but half of them still landed on him, breaking through his defense and injuring him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were even sharper than before. He looked at the Kings and growled, "To think you managed to injure me. Not bad. However, from today onwards, you will all become my blood food."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, all the Kings were injured by the Demonic Venerable. One by one, they were sent flying, and blood splattered on the ground. They were in a sorry state.
A few Kings were even killed and made to explode, their flesh and souls devoured by the Demonic Venerable.
Everyone could feel that Yang Tiancheng's power was much stronger than before. He was recovering to his peak.
Right now, all the Kings from the various factions were at a disadvantage. More importantly, the scene had been sealed off by demonic might, and even the Kings would find it difficult to break out in a short time.
Seeing this, the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were also anxious because they knew that if this went on, not only would all the Kings be killed one by one, but the Taiyi Holy Land would also become Yang Tiancheng's slaughter field.
"The Demonic Venerable is too strong. He's already in the Bahuang Realm. We can't compare to him!"
"Once you step into the Bahuang Realm, you can look down on the Liuhe and Bahuang and rule the world. The saying is true!"
Some Kings smiled bitterly. Each cultivation realm was a different world, and each realm had nine levels.
The Demonic Venerable stood proudly in the Bahuang Realm. Although he only seemed one realm away from them, Qiyao Realm Kings, when they fought, only then did they truly understand that the strength of the Bahuang Realm was far from what they could compare to.
Boom—
A Holy Land living old fossil at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, half a step into the Bahuang Realm, was split in half by the Demonic Venerable's ax. His soul exploded and he died.
This made many people's hearts turn cold. That was a Half-step Bahuang Realm existence, yet he was so vulnerable.
It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that the Demonic Venerable was too strong.
"Could it be that the Taiyi Holy Land's hundreds of thousands of years of heritage won't decline, but would be destroyed now?" The Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land said bitterly, full of unwillingness. A Holy Land could survive even if it had declined. It even had a chance to rise again and return to its peak in the future.
However, he had never thought that he would face the danger of extinction. The inheritance of the ancient Holy Land would end in his hands. How could he accept it? How would he face the ancestors of the Holy Land?
"No," He said through gritted teeth, "We'll have to use the Holy Land's reserves. Our ancestors from the Taiyi Holy Land have sealed themselves in the Divine Spirit Source. Now that the Holy Land is facing extinction, we can only ask them to come out!"
Ling Ran and the other Holy Land's Supreme elders looked solemn. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. Although it had a some reserves, it did not have much left.
This was especially so for the ancestors that were sealed within the Divine Spirit Source. They didn't have much lifespan left. Once they were unsealed, they couldn't continue sealing themselves again. At most, they could only live for tens or hundreds of years. They were destined to die of old age after they came back to the world.
At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land's decline would be further strengthened.
But now, they had no choice but to ask the old ancestors to come out.
At this moment, on a mountain peak far away, Qin Chen, who was dressed in a green handyman robe, appeared silently. He frowned and said, "The Taiyi Holy Land is really full of misfortunes. First, Zhao Yi was demonized, and now, the former Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng has appeared."
"However, the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng suddenly disappeared from the world 3000 years ago. It's very strange that he has now suddenly appeared in the great Emperor's palace that's sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land. Could it be the doing of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race?"
"That's right. Yang Tiancheng's demonic energy is the same as Zhao Yi's. If I'm not wrong, they were both demonized due to the demonic thoughts of the Sage-level Demon King from the ancient race that is being sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land."
"If my guesses are correct, Yang Tiancheng disappeared from the world three thousand years ago probably to save the ancient race's Sage-level Demon King, but he was trapped under the seal of the Sage ancestor. Now that the seal had been gradually worn out, he was able to escape." With Qin Chen's knowledge, he thought of many things when he saw the broken Sage-level seal array in the great Emperor's palace.
Although Yang Tiancheng had been a Venerable and the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, he knew that immortal Holy Lands like this had terrifying reserves and might even have sealed ancient Sages. Therefore, he didn't dare to attack them directly to save the Sage-level demon of the ancient race. Instead, he had snuck into the Holy Land and waited for an opportunity to strike.
However, it was also because of this that he was trapped in the seal array left behind by the Sage ancestor and was unable to leave.
Only now had he successfully escaped.
With that, Qin Chen understood all the causes and consequences!
Looking at the Kings of the various forces being trapped and the unwilling expression of the Taiyi Holy Lord, Qin Chen had a hesitant expression. In the end, he sighed, "Never mind, never mind. This is my sect after all. It had been quite nice to me and my senior brother. Plus, there are many treasure lands here where I can get good rewards by checking in. I can't let this Demonic Venerable destroy it."
"Although he's a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, he's been trapped for 3000 years. He's most definitely not as powerful as he was before. Moreover, he's just a puppet of the demonic path. He's truly courting death to dare to wreak havoc!" A cold expression appeared on his face.
With that, a long spear appeared in Qin Chen's hand. It was very ordinary, but at this moment, it was filled with endless divine power and was thrown out with all his might.
Boom!
The long spear instantly shattered the void and crossed thousands of miles in an instant, entering the area enveloped by the demonic might.

Killing the Demon King with a Lift of the Hand
The Emperor relic.
In the great Emperor's palace, pitch-black demonic energy covered every corner of Heaven and Earth, trying to shroud the entire Taiyi Holy Land under it.
Balls of bright divine light shone in the demonic energy like suns but were constantly dimming.
The divine lights were the efforts of the many Kings in doing their best to resist the corrosion of the demonic energy and the attack of Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng.
However, Yang Tiancheng was too strong. He was a Demonic Venerable who had dominated the world and was able to compete with the Venerables of the Southern Desolate Land back then. Even though he had been trapped for 3000 years and lost a lot of his vitality, he was still far stronger than these Kings.
It was an all-around suppression in terms of realms!
"Obediently become my blood food, and you won't suffer much," Yang Tiancheng said as he looked coldly at the struggling Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords.
In his eyes, although these Kings were strong, how could they withstand the attacks of a Demonic Venerable like him? They would be exhausted sooner or later and completely devoured.
It was just that the Kings who had used up too much divine power would not be as delicious.
Suddenly, Yang Tiancheng's brows furrowed as he had an unusual premonition. He looked up and saw a golden light suddenly pierce into the demonic realm that formed from the shrouding demonic energy.
This golden light contained the unbelievably pure yang energy of the great path aura. Like the appearance of the sun, it pierced through the demonic fog, burned it, and easily broke through the layers.
One had to know that this was the demonic fog of a Bahuang Realm Venerable. It contained the power of a Venerable. Even a Qiyao Realm King would be corroded after some time. Yet, in front of this pure yang aura, the demonic fog was as thin as paper and easily penetrated.
Almost in the next moment, the purest yang aura appeared in front of him. He focused his eyes and saw that it was a long spear. It was shining with a bright golden light and arrived before the Demonic Venerable in the blink of an eye.
"A long spear!?" The Demonic Venerable subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but his expression quickly changed because his palm was easily penetrated by the spear.
The long spear pierced through his palm and reached the area between his eyebrows as if it was going to penetrate his head.
"Shit!" For the first time since his reappearance, the Demonic Venerable's expression changed drastically. He immediately retreated, but immediately realized that he couldn't dodge it. The spear was too fast. It was so fast that even a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm couldn't react in time.
"Immortal demonic shield!" The Demonic Venerable immediately burned the power of his primordial spirit, and endless demonic energy gathered in an instant, forming a demonic shield between his eyebrows. Dense blood-red demonic patterns were on the demonic shield, making it look very strange and terrifying. They were not ordinary demonic patterns.
Boom!
However, the Demonic Venerable didn't expect that the long spear would pierce through the demonic shield so easily as if it was just a thin piece of paper.
Pierce!
Almost at the same time, the long spear pierced through the Demonic Venerable's forehead and disappeared in the air.
The spear was made of ordinary materials. It could no longer withstand Qin Chen's power and just dissolved into nothingness.
However, the purest yang power had completely penetrated the Demonic Venerable, annihilating him and turning him into nothingness.
"This, it's impossible!" The moment the Demonic Venerable was destroyed, he mumbled to himself. He still couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
How was this possible?
This scene was exactly the same as when Zhao Yi was killed!
The moment the Demonic Venerable was annihilated, the demonic energy that shrouded the Holy Land of Taiyi was torn apart by the purest yang aura and dissolved.
The struggling Kings were dumbfounded as they watched on. They had been struggling on the brink of death and had almost unleashed all the reserves their Holy Lands had. They had never thought that the demon would suddenly be killed.
This moment was something that no one had expected.
"No, someone has made a move. He has killed the Demonic Venerable!" An Imperial Lord said. He had seen the golden light just now. It was fast, but he was sure that it was an external force that killed the Demonic Venerable.
This made all the Kings shocked. Just how powerful was the person to be able to kill a Demonic Venerable in the blink of an eye?
At the very least, the other party should also be a King of the Bahuang Realm, and most likely a great Venerable. Otherwise, how could he have killed a Demonic Venerable?
This made them tremble. They didn't expect that there would be a great senior in the dark. The other party had been hiding in the dark all this time, and now that he saw that they were in danger, he took action. They couldn't help but cup their fists and bow in the direction of the golden light, "Thank you for saving us, senior!"
In the world of cultivation, the strong were respected, and the accomplished were the teachers. To have such great power, the other party must be a senior who had cultivated for many years.
In the distance, Qin Chen's figure was ethereal, as if he did not belong to the five elements and could not be discovered.
He didn't appear. His figure was perfectly integrated with Heaven and Earth, making it difficult for outsiders to discover his traces. He didn't come out either and only said, "Even though Yang Tiancheng is dead, he's just a puppet of the ancient race Demon King. The real Demon King hasn't been completely exterminated yet. You'd better leave immediately. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to kill him when his true body appears later."
That's right. The Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng was only a puppet of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race who was sealed in the great Emperor's palace. Just like Zhao Yi, he had long since been demonized, completely submitting himself to that Demon King.
Otherwise, the Demon King was a terrifying existence comparable to the ancient Sages. How could he have been killed by Qin Chen in one strike?
Hearing this, all the Kings quickly retreated with fearful expressions, not daring to approach the great Emperor's palace.
A Demon King that could be sealed by an ancient Sage must be at least at the Sage-level. Otherwise, if it was only at the Venerable level, the ancient Sages would've just killed it. How would they leave such a disaster behind and bring misfortune to the later generations?
Roar!
All of a sudden, a terrifying roar came from the great Emperor's palace. The roar shattered Heaven and Earth, and the two Kings who were slightly closer exploded in the air, their bodies turning into pieces.
The other Kings were also affected by the shockwaves, and they all vomited blood. Their faces were pale as they looked into the great Emperor's palace in horror.
Sure enough, just as the senior had said, the real Demonic Venerable had not been killed yet. What had been killed just now was only a Venerable puppet.
If it wasn't for the senior's timely warning, they would have ended up like the two Kings if they had been just a little closer. They would have been turned into ashes by the Demonic Venerable's roar.
Boom, boom!
Even more demonic energy gushed out of the great Emperor's palace, covering the sky. It was even more terrifying than before.
In the sky, a terrifying Demon King's figure condensed, holding a terrifying demonic ax. From afar, he looked coldly at the many Kings present and sneered, "All of you are my blood food, I can't just let you leave."
He licked his lips, looking extremely blood-thirsty. His eyes were filled with endless blood light as he looked at the crowd coldly.
The Kings in front of him were all top-tier delicacies.
"However–" Saying this, the Demon King's eyes looked in a direction far away in the sky, "To be able to kill one of my Venerable puppets, your blood food must be much more delicious."
Boom!
With that, the Demon King's figure disappeared, and with overwhelming demonic energy, he crossed thousands of miles like lightning, arriving at a cliff in the distance. What greeted him was a middle-aged handyman in his early 30s holding a broom. The Demon King's fierce face revealed a touch of astonishment, "You're the one who destroyed my Venerable puppet?"

Check-in and Receive "Resurrection Technique"
No matter how the Demon King looked at the other party, he simply couldn't see how a mere handyman could have such ability.
Light flashed, and Qin Chen returned to his original appearance. A young and handsome man in his twenties appeared. Although he was still wearing a green robe, his temperament was completely different.
Qin Chen looked at the Demon King calmly and said, "Demon King of the ten thousand ancient races, isn't it better for you to continue sealing yourself and wait for the other races to reappear in the world later? Why did you have to attack now and mess up the Taiyi Holy Land? Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to make a move against you. Yet, you insisted on destroying the Taiyi Holy Land, so I had no choice but to make a move. Since your body that contains the demonic thought is here, I'm even more determined to kill you!"
He just wanted to quietly check in all over the Taiyi Holy Land. It would be best if he could keep checking in till he reached the ancient great emperor level before showing himself in the world. Then, there wouldn't be much danger that could pose a risk to him.
He never expected that this damn Demon King would suddenly appear and want to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land.
If the Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed, how could he continue to check in and obtain endless resources and treasures in the future?
The Demon King laughed viciously, "Although you are very strong, the feeling you give me is that you have at most just advanced into the Venerable level. My body that contains the demonic thought is much stronger than the Venerable puppet just now. Although appearing like is quite damaging to me, as long as I devour your flesh and primordial spirit as food, it is enough to make up for all this and even help me to reappear earlier!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King made his move.
Boundless demonic energy blotted out the sky and covered the earth, drowning space. It was extremely terrifying.
However, Qin Chen simply circulated his blood energy. In an instant, endless golden blood energy of the purest yang poured out as if a divine furnace had been flipped over, burning all the demonic energy in Heaven and Earth till nothing was left. The terrifying blood energy gave the Demon King a terrifying suppression.
"You..." The Demon King's eyes widened in shock, "Your blood energy is very strong with this kind of physique. It's comparable to the ancient Princes!"
"There's more!" Qin Chen's blood energy was powerful, but his strength was even more powerful. He used the Taiyi Holy Technique he had obtained from the Holy Lord's mountain. With that, a huge bell suddenly appeared between Heaven and Earth. It was formed by the law of the great path. The bell chimed and fell from the sky, bombarding the Demon King with endless divine might.
The demonic energy was burned and then extinguished.
Qin Chen even used his strongest divine technique to kill the Demon King.
In the end, the Demon King was killed. He was annihilated and left no trace behind. It was a shocking scene.
Psst!
The Demon King's second body that contained the demonic thought exploded and turned into ashes, gone just like that.
Just seconds before his death, the Demon King looked meaningfully at Qin Chen and said, "To think that you'd be this strong! Do you have the human great Emperor's strongest physique? But it won't be long. In a few years, my reappearance will be complete. At that time, even if you become a Sage, you won't be my match."
"Is that so?" Qin Chen looked at him indifferently and said, "When the time comes, I'll just continue to suppress you!"
At this point, the storm of the demonic path had completely come to an end.
In the Taiyi Holy Land, the Kings knelt and bowed in the direction the demonic thought had left, "Greetings, senior!"
Although they were curious about who the other party was, he must be a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm since he could kill the Demonic Venerable. He was not someone they could come into contact with.
At the very least, the various Holy Lands and aristocratic families did not have a Venerable known to the public.
Qin Chen's figure was blurry and surrounded by various path laws, making it impossible to see his true face. He sighed, "All of you should leave. You've tried to fight for the opportunities in the Taiyi Holy Land, but you know what the results were. A chance has been given to all of you, but none of you succeeded. It's time for you to leave."
"But," One of the Kings wanted to speak. They had paid a heavy price for this expedition. Almost every faction had a King killed, so how could they leave without any gains?
The Holy Lord of the faction that the King came from stood up and stopped him from continuing. He said, "We will naturally obey senior's words. However, the Demon King has already been annihilated, so there shouldn't be much danger. Please allow us to continue exploring."
The other Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords all had the same wish. This was a great Emperor's palace, and there were countless divine treasures hidden here. Now that King-level experts from their factions had died, they were truly unwilling to leave just like this.
Although the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were somewhat resentful, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't overturn the circumstances.
Hearing this, Qin Chen snorted coldly from the horizon. His voice was like a thunderclap that resounded through the entire Taiyi Holy Land, "Although I've killed the Demon King twice, it was only his clone. If you continue, you'll probably end up provoking the Demon King's true body. I don't care what happens to you, but if you cause trouble for the Taiyi Holy Land, don't blame me for being merciless. I'll go to straight the factions behind you. "
Towards the end, his words were filled with coldness, causing the expressions of all the Kings to change.
Putting aside the fact of the great Emperor's palace had the Demon King himself, a true ancient Sage-level existence who possessed unfathomable divine might. It was rumored that a strand of a Sage's hair could kill a King, truly terrifying.
Even the mysterious old senior himself was a huge threat.
The arrival of a peerless Venerable posed a great threat to any force. An enemy like that could only be solved by unleashing the corresponding reserves. Who would dare to ignore the senior's threats?
Although the various Kings were unwilling, they didn't dare to offend such a Venerable. Thus, they had no choice but to cup their fists in the direction of their senior before turning around and leaving.
The experts from the Taiyi Holy Land were relieved, but they were also worried when they saw the great Emperor's palace that had appeared. They didn't have the ability to seal it.
Moreover, the great Emperor's palace had appeared in the Holy Land. It would not be long before the major forces could not wait and come again. When they did, it would not probably not only be Kings in their party, but even their reserves might come as well.
The Taiyi Holy Land couldn't withstand such a matter.
The Taiyi Holy Lord looked in that direction and said, "Senior, please suppress the great Emperor's palace!"
Looking at the great Emperor's palace, Qin Chen's figure flashed and appeared in front of the palace with extreme speed.
Before anyone could see who the senior was, Qin Chen had already entered the great Emperor's palace.
He was now at the peak of level nine in the Qiyao Realm, able to seek his part and become a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm at any time.
In terms of combat power, he was on par with a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, and not the ordinary ones at that. He could kill ordinary Venerables at will.
Furthermore, the quasi-emperor grade weapon, the Desolate Divine Halberd, was in his hands, so he was fearless.
[Strong divinity has been detected in this place. Would you like to check in here?]
The system's cold voice rang out in his mind.
Qin Chen checked in decisively.
[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the "Resurrection Technique" as a check-in reward!]

Senior, Please Become the Elder King
[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the "Resurrection Technique" as a check-in reward!]
Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.
The Resurrection Technique was known as the undying celestial technique. Even if there was only a drop of blood left, one could be resurrected.
Qin Chen immediately began to cultivate. With his cultivation of the half-step Bahuang Realm, he quickly succeeded and activated the Resurrection Technique.
His muscles glowed with endless multicolored light, and strands of hair and broken bones were being expelled from his body.
In his realm, his muscles were flawless and he was already perfect, but the Resurrection Technique could raise his body to a higher and more perfect level.
Qin Chen felt that his body had become stronger and more complete. The blood energy in his body was endless, like a giant dragon lying dormant. It was amazing. He could take the crucial step at any time to become a true Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
Of course, he didn't. He just walked around the great Emperor's palace.
The palace was grand and chaos energy filled the air. There were also wisps of shocking Emperor might that were still circulating, making him exclaim in admiration.
He wondered which ancient great Emperor had left this palace behind. In the past, even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left behind corresponding footprints here.
Anything left behind by an ancient great Emperor could become a supreme treasure and would cause countless experts in the world to go crazy over it.
Qin Chen also wanted to obtain a supreme treasure in the great Emperor's palace.
It would be great if he could get an emperor-grade weapon or extreme celestial material.
Soon, he had finished walking around and realized that there were not many divine treasures left in the great Emperor's palace. Most of the halls had been cleared out and only a few could be found in the halls at the core of the palace. However, they were within Emperor arrays.
After countless years, even the Emperor arrays had been worn down by time, becoming damaged.
However, let alone the current Qin Chen, even if he was ten times stronger, he would not dare to venture into those arrays.
If an Emperor array was triggered, it would be enough to turn him into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
In the place, he also found the place where the Sage-level Demon King of the ten thousand ancient races was sealed. It was in the core of a hall that was covered with dense Sage inscriptions. It had been set up by the Taiyi Holy Land's Sage ancestor, the ancient Sage Tai Yun.
A crystal the size of an adult man floated in there. A terrifying ancient race creature with giant horns and a fiendish expression was sealed within. It faintly exuded a terrifying aura, much more terrifying than Yang Tiancheng.
A Sage-level Demon King was extremely terrifying.
However, the Demon King had not completely awakened and was trapped in the Sage-level array.
There was a gap in the Sage-level array patterns, and there were traces of blood. It was the same as Yang Tiancheng's, so it was naturally left behind by him.
Qin Chen looked at the sealed ancient race Sage-level Demon King. He wanted to kill the other party here and now, but he didn't do so in the end.
Firstly, the palace had incomplete Emperor arrays and Sage-level array patterns. Even if he wanted to enter, it would be difficult and he might even be trapped inside. The loss would be greater than his gains.
Secondly, he was still not a true Venerable. Even if he had the quasi-emperor grade weapon "Taihuang", it was still very risky for him to face a true ancient Sage.
Qin Chen had always been very steady, and the Sage-level Demon King was still in slumber anyway. The other party could only awaken once or twice, and it was estimated that it would take another twenty to thirty years for him to completely awaken.
In twenty-three years, Qin Chen was confident that he could become a Jiutian Realm Sage. Wouldn't it be better to deal with the Sage-level Demon King then?
After leaving the great Emperor's palace, Qin Chen sealed the palace and buried it deep underground.
He cast a regretful glance at the palace. It was a pity that with his current cultivation base, he was unable to take it for himself. Now that this palace that was built by an ancient great Emperor had appeared, even a brick from it could smash someone to death.
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others approached Qin Chen, wanting to see his true identity. Unfortunately, he was covered by various path laws, so even a King couldn't see clearly, let alone the Taiyi Holy Lord, who hadn't reached that level yet. He couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who senior is?"
The other Holy Land elders looked over, and Ling Ran was naturally one of them.
She had a faint feeling in her heart that the person before them was the mysterious expert who had given her the divine medicine and the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra".
Qin Chen's figure was blurry and could not be seen clearly. He stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Land, so there's no need to mention it."
Even now, Qin Chen was still unwilling to reveal his true identity. He called himself an "ordinary disciple" to hide his true identity.
The voice that came from the path law was neither old nor young, and it was difficult to tell if the person was male or female. The other party seemed mysterious, but this answer made people feel astonished.
An ordinary disciple of the Holy Land?
Since when did the Taiyi Holy Land have such a disciple with such unfathomable cultivation? All the major Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and dynasties in the world would wish to have such a disciple.
The Holy Lord and the other elders all thought that Qin Chen just didn't want to say his true identity. They knew that some seniors were used to being indifferent to fame and fortune, refusing to fight for worldly fame and fortune.
The person before them was probably one of those seniors.
Subconsciously, the Holy Lord and the others still regarded Qin Chen as an old senior.
The Holy Lord immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Senior's indifference to fame and fortune has earned the respect of us juniors. Thanks to your appearance today, the Taiyi Holy Land was spared from disaster. I have a request. Senior, please stay in the Holy Land and take on the position of the Holy Lord!"
Many people were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect the Taiyi Holy Lord to give up the position of the Holy Lord to this mysterious senior.
It had to be said that this was really a bold move.
The position of the Holy Lord was the highest in the Taiyi Holy Land. Even though the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, it was still an immortal Holy Land. It had unfathomable reserves, which made countless people fight for the position.
Now, to think the Taiyi Holy Lord was willing to give it up. Only a bold and magnanimous person could do that.
However, those who understood the Holy Land's situation all knew that the Taiyi Holy Lord's decision was very wise.
The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. If a Venerable became the Holy Lord, they might be able to break the current situation and lead the Taiyi Holy Land to its revival.
Even if they couldn't, if news of a Venerable being the Holy Lord got out, the other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties would have to think twice before targeting the Taiyi Holy Land, even if there was an Emperor relic in it.
After all, not everyone was willing to offend a Venerable.
Qin Chen was also slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that The Taiyi Holy Lord would give up his position. However, he wasn't tempted by the position of the Holy Lord, which was enough to make countless people in the Holy Land fight to the death, to the point even Zhao Yi was demonized.
He shook his head and said, "No, I'm used to being free. You've been the Holy Lord for so many years and have been responsible for the Holy Land, so you're quite suitable for the position. Or, you can choose another capable person."
Although they knew that it was unlikely for Qin Chen to become the Holy Lord, the elders were still disappointed to hear his refusal.
"Since senior doesn't want to be the Holy Lord, then please be the Elder King," The Holy Lord said, "The Elder King has power no less than the Holy Lord's, and can even impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders at important times. On the other hand, you wouldn't have to deal with major and complicated affairs while still receiving many offerings from the Holy Land. "

The Elder King
The Supreme Elders were in an uproar.
The Holy Land had not set up an Elder King for many years because the power of this position was too high, even higher than the Holy Lord. The Elder King could impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elder, making him the truly most powerful person in the Holy Land.
Of course, on the other hand, due to the Elder King's high authority, it required the Holy Lord and Supreme Elders to vote together. Only if more than 80% of the people agreed could one become the Elder King.
However, it was easier said than done to become the Elder King.
Since the Taiyi Holy Land's declined, there had never been an Elder King.
Although there were related positions, no one had been recognized to take on the position.
Now that the Holy Lord had suggested for Qin Chen to become the Elder King, although the Supreme Elders were shocked, they soon felt it was feasible.
Qin Chen's strength and virtue were well-recognized by everyone.
If he were to take on the position of Elder King, no one would object.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
...
One by one, the Supreme Elders expressed their approval.
Qin Chen had saved the Taiyi Holy Land from danger several times over the years, thus gaining the high approval of the higher-ups.
Qin Chen was also tempted, not only because he did not have to deal with many complicated affairs after becoming an Elder King, but more importantly, he would have power above the Holy Lord. In other words, he could enter the various places in the Taiyi Holy Land, including some forbidden areas that he could not enter before.
With that, he could unlock more places and check in to get more treasures.
This was exactly what Qin Chen wanted.
"Alright!" He nodded, "I'll be the Elder King!"
With that, Qin Chen, a sweeping handyman, became the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land!
Hearing this, the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were all pleasantly surprised. A Venerable becoming the Holy Land's Elder King was equivalent to the Taiyi Holy Land having a Venerable. From now on, no one would dare to bully the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the face of an unparalleled Venerable, no matter who it was, be it the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, or the ancient dynasties, they would have to think twice before making a move against the Holy Land.
"This is a jade token I made. If something happens to the Taiyi Holy Land, I'll be the first to know," After Qin Chen received the Elder King's token, he threw a jade token to the Holy Lord and disappeared from everyone's sight. His movements were silent and untraceable.
The Holy Lord and the others sighed. In the end, they still didn't know the true identity of this new Elder King.
Although they were extremely curious about Qin Chen's identity, it was not appropriate for them to ask him about it. They could see that this Elder King was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not like to be disturbed.
Ling Ran stared at Qin Chen's departing figure. He looked almost the same as the one she saw that night. She was even more convinced that this old senior was the expert who had given her the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and the divine medicine.
After becoming the Elder King, Qin Chen did not feel much excitement. After all, he could even refuse the position of the Holy Lord. To him, if not for the fact that the Elder King had power that was no less than that of the Holy Lord which would allow him to walk around the forbidden lands of the Taiyi Holy Land, he would not even bother with this status.
In the end, he still had no intention of revealing his true identity.
Qin Chen knew that once his identity was revealed, he would attract the attention of the world.
Just think about it. A handyman in a Holy Land who was supposed to only have a mortal body and no cultivation became a top figure who could kill a Demonic Venerable in just 30 years. Many people even thought that he was a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. It would definitely attract attention.
On top of that, he had deduced that the ten thousand ancient races would soon reappear.
The ten thousand ancient races had a group of Sages, Sage Kings, and even Supreme Sages who were above the Bahuang Realm.
Most of the ancient races within the ten thousand ancient races did not wish for the human race to have a prodigy, especially someone with the Chaotic Holy Body like him because he could achieve reached a high cultivation realm in a very short time. If he was targeted by the ten thousand ancient races, it would be very dangerous.
Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen had to continue to hide and not let anyone know his true identity.
However, there were still some benefits to being the Elder King. He had higher authority than the Holy Lord.
Before long, news of the Taiyi Holy Land spread all over the world.
The entire Canglan Continent knew that the declining Taiyi Holy Land had a great Emperor's palace. Moreover, a terrifying Demon King of the Bahuang Realm had appeared, killing many Kings of the major forces and causing heavy casualties.
The most shocking news was that in the declining Taiyi Holy Land, there was a powerful Venerable. It was his appearance that stopped the Demon King from killing the experts of all the major forces and saved the Taiyi Holy Land.
All of a sudden, it caused a great commotion, and many people turned their eyes to the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the current world, a King at the Qiyao Realm could be said to be the world's top battle prowess. They dominated the world and found it difficult to even find an opponent.
As such, a Venerable who stood in the Bahuang Realm could rule the world, such as the great Venerable of the Nangong aristocratic family.
Without a Sage in this world, who could compete with a Venerable?!
Moreover, there was news that the Taiyi Holy Land had appointed the Venerable as the Elder King of the Holy Land. His status was extremely noble, putting the Venerable on the surface of the Taiyi Holy Land's combat prowess.
Now, with a Venerable, even if the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, no one would dare to bully them.
The world sighed. Not only did the declining Taiyi Holy Land have a Holy Daughter with the Zixia Body, but now it also had a Venerable. This was a sign of its revival.
Qin Chen was not aware of the happenings in the outside world. After he obtained the status of Elder King, he immediately went to the ancestral land of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Sages' Peak.
The Sages' Peak was the burial grounds of the ancient Sages of the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the past, when the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak, Sages emerged one after another, generation after generation, never-ending. It was an extremely glorious period.
At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak. It dared to challenge the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties that had the inheritance of great emperors while not being at a disadvantage.
The Sages' Peak was a magnificent mountain where many of the Sage ancestors were buried.
Here, Qin Chen felt an extremely strong divinity. The system also prompted him, so he checked in.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Sun Sage Robe as a reward!]
With that, a Sage Robe appeared in the system space. It was a holy weapon that seemed to be made of gold and was engraved with sage inscriptions. Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised.
A holy weapon was Sage's weapon. A holy garment was especially precious because it could protect the whole body and resist many attacks.
Kacha!
The Sage Robe rushed out of the system space and was equipped on Qin Chen's body. After a few clanks, it disappeared.
Wearing such a Sage Robe, one could withstand a Sage's attack. It was a life-saving weapon.
Of course, Qin Chen could not let the Sage Robe be exposed all the time. Thus, the Sage Robe was put in his glabella and was worn on his tiny primordial spirit to protect his primordial spirit.
As expected of the Sages' Peak where the Sages of past generations were buried. The divinity was indeed powerful. To think he would be rewarded with a holy weapon the first time he checked in, great!

Visitor From the Great Qin Dynasty
Time passed. Ever since the Taiyi Holy Land had a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm, its status in Canglan Continent had risen.
In the cultivation world, the strong were respected.
No matter how much the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, the appearance of a Venerable would still be a terrifying deterrent. All forces would be fearful to make a move against them.
At the same time, all the forces wanted to be on good terms with the Taiyi Holy Land. They wanted to be friends on equal footing, not as high and mighty as they had been when they first arrived.
Venerables were high above Kings, and great Venerables could even be invincible for 4000 to 5000 years. In this era where Sages didn't exist, they were invincible.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the "Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger" as a reward!]
On this day, Qin Chen checked in at the great Emperor's palace. After all, it was a palace left behind by an ancient great Emperor, so it was naturally full of divinity.
See, he had obtained the "Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger" right after checking in.
According to the system's introduction, the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge.
In the Canglan Continent, besides the most common grades of supernormal knowledge at the heaven, earth, black, and yellow grades, there were also the king, venerable, sage, divine, and emperor grades.
The supernormal knowledge of the heaven, earth, black, and yellow grades were only for cultivators below the Qiyao Realm. After reaching the Qiyao Realm, one would master even more powerful supernormal knowledge and have the ability to create powerful ones that belonged to oneself.
The Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge created by an ancient great emperor.
Qin Chen was quite satisfied with this, though he wasn't very excited.
After 30 years of having the check-in system, he had already checked in and obtained no less than 10 emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, such as the Moving Secret Technique and the Resurrection Technique.
That being said, it was better to have the supernormal knowledge of this grade than not.
His cultivation had also been growing steadily, but three years after the incident at the Emperor relic, he still had not taken the step to become a true Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
Although his strength was no weaker than a true Bahuang Realm Venerable and was probably even stronger than an ordinary Venerable, if he wanted to enter the Bahuang Realm, he would have to seek his path.
What was to "seek one's path"?
It was to ask the heart and break one's shackles.
It was easy to say but difficult to do.
In history, countless Kings were trapped at this step and were unable to complete it. Once they tried to seek their path, any carelessness would result in death.
"I never thought that I would one day be in a bottleneck and unable to break through," Qin Chen ridiculed himself helplessly.
Even the system couldn't help him with this.
However, he was not in a hurry. He had only cultivated for a few years and had already reached the peak of the Qiyao Realm. It was quite appropriate to stop occasionally. Perhaps he could find a suitable opportunity.
"If I can't break through, then I should just continue sweeping the floor. Perhaps I'll get something good from checking in," Qin Chen did not persist. He left his residence and headed to the Taiyi Main Hall to sweep the floor.
The Taiyi Main Hall was a good place. Although the divinity there had been exhausted and he could not continue to check in, there was an ancient hall next to it that contained rich divinity. He had also obtained many good things from checking in there over the years.
When he arrived at the Taiyi Main Hall, he saw a few Supreme Elders walking out. They rose into the air and rushed into the distance, as if they had something urgent to attend to.
Qin Chen could not help but be taken aback. What had happened? Why were the Supreme Elders in such a hurry?
An official disciple walked past him while exclaiming, "Big news, big news! Honored guests from the Great Qin Dynasty have paid a visit to the Taiyi Holy Land!"
"The Great Qin Dynasty?"
"The Great Qin Dynasty is one of the four immortal dynasties of the Central Province. Why did they suddenly come to visit the Taiyi Holy Land?"
"Isn't that normal? Ever since the Taiyi Holy Land gained the Venerable Elder King, our status has been rising steadily. The other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties no longer dare to look down on us. I'm afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty's distinguished guests have come to befriend us as well."
"Who from the Great Qin Dynasty has come? It's said that an extremely powerful Imperial Prince and a Prince are coming. I've heard that the prince is the 9th Prince, Qin Feng!"
"The 9th Prince Qin Feng! I've heard that he's the Prince with the most talent in cultivation among the many Princes and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty. He's about the same age as us, but he's already in the Qiyao Realm and can be considered a King!"
"I heard that the 9th Prince is extremely talented and has a high chance of becoming the next emperor. But why is he here? Is he here for our Holy Daughter?"
The Holy Land disciples discussed animatedly among themselves.
When they talked about the 9th Prince, even though they were proud and talented disciples, they still showed respect and admiration.
The Qiyao Realm was a realm that they could only hope to reach in their entire lives.
The 9th Prince, Qin Feng, was already a King of the Qiyao Realm. He had the right to be on equal footing with the Lords of the various Holy Lands and families.
"8th imperial uncle and 9th brother are here?" Outside the palace, Qin Chen, who was sweeping, was slightly stunned. He looked at the main entrance of the Taiyi Holy Land.
At this moment, the other disciples finally noticed the handyman, Qin Chen. They were slightly stunned as they recalled that he was the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, he had been banished from the royal family and was an abandoned Prince.
They had, after all, been cultivating for decades and had some experience, so when they looked at Qin Chen, they no longer looked at him with ridicule, but with pity.
If this useless Prince who was reduced to being a mere handyman saw his 9th brother, who was already on the same level as the various Holy Lords and Family Lords, he would probably be in despair.
Not long after, the Supreme Elders returned with a group of noble-looking people around them.
They were the guests from the Great Qin Dynasty.
The person leading the Great Qin Dynasty's people was the 8th Imperial Prince, a King of the royal family.
The 8th Imperial Prince was dressed in a robe stitched with dragons and wore a golden crown. He walked majestically. Behind him was a group of royal descendants of the Great Qin Dynasty who were all noble and awe-inspiring.
One of them was the 9th Prince, Qin Feng.
As one of the most powerful immortal inheritances in the world with the inheritance of an ancient great emperor, the visit of the immortal dynasty to the Taiyi Holy Land naturally shocked everyone.
Holy Lord Taiyi led the Holy Daughter Ling Ran and the Holy Son Lu Feng, as well as a group of elders out of the main hall to welcome the guests. He cupped his fists at the 8th Prince and laughed, "So it's the 8th Prince and the other Princes and Princesses who have come to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
He put himself on equal footing with his words, not lowering his head as he did when he faced the various Kings.
It wasn't just because the current Taiyi Holy Land was extraordinary with a Bahuang Realm Venerable and was thus full of confidence. It was also because, over the years, the Taiyi Holy Lord had successfully broken through and become a true Qiyao Realm King.
Therefore, as the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan did not come out to welcome them. Instead, he waited for the 8th Prince and the others in the main hall of the Taiyi Holy Land. It was already a very high standard of welcoming the guests by ordering the Supreme Elders to welcome them.
The 8th Prince was tall and strong, and he looked very dignified. He cupped his fists at the Taiyi Holy Land and laughed, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, brother Lu. The Taiyi Holy Land has regained its former glory!"
"You must be joking, 8th Prince," Lu Xuan shook his head, "The Taiyi Holy Land is still the same."
The 8th Prince's gaze fell on Holy Daughter Ling Ran, who was standing next to the Taiyi Holy Lord. He looked surprised and praised, "So this is the Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land? She's truly a talent. At such a young age, she's already at the Qiyao Realm. "
Indeed, some time ago, Ling Ran had successfully broken through to the Qiyao Realm and became the second King of the Qiyao Realm in the Taiyi Holy Land after the Holy Lord Lu Xuan.
Of course, that was excluding the mysterious Elder King, Qin Chen.
When the Great Qin Dynasty visited the Holy Land of Taiyi, they were naturally welcomed with high standards and were welcomed into the Taiyi Main Hall.
Naturally, they could not avoid seeing Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor beside the main hall.

A Sincere Request to Visit the Elder King
Although Qin Chen looked like he was in his forties or fifties, they still recognized him.
"Qin Chen?"
Some of the royal family members were shocked, then frowned. They looked at Qin Chen with disgust and disdain. They did not see him as the 17th Prince. On the contrary, they saw him as just an abandoned son of the royal family.
"17th brother!" The 9th Prince was surprised, but he was soon overjoyed.
This time, he had also planned to meet Qin Chen.
"The 17th Prince who was expelled from the royal family?" The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at Qin Chen.
The 17th Prince who was from a younger generation now looked even older than him, an uncle who had lived for thousands of years. He could not help but frown. He immediately looked away and did not look at Qin Chen again, leading the royal family's descendants and walking straight ahead.
Royalties were heartless, much less those of an immortal divine dynasty.
Back then, the family of Qin Chen's mother had been framed by the current Empress. His mother was banished to the cold palace, and Qin Chen, who was judged to be trash with a mortal body, was expelled from the royal family. His status as a Prince was removed, and he was exiled to the Southern Desolate Lands.
Looking at the situation now, he was just a handyman of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Why would the Great Qin Dynasty acknowledge the current 17th Prince? He was simply beneath their status.
The 9th Prince wanted to go forward and talk to Qin Feng, but he was stopped by the 8th Imperial Prince, "Feng'er, as the Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are also a candidate for the Crown Prince. In the future, you may even inherit the imperial power and become the Emperor of the immortal divine dynasty. You must know your place and not get too close to some lowly people. Otherwise, it will only harm you in the future."
The "lowly person" was naturally Qin Chen.
As one of the immortal divine dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty ruled over the Central Province.
The Imperial Lord was extremely powerful and controlled an ancient divine dynasty. As such, this position was naturally coveted by countless people, including many Princes and even Princesses.
The 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother was a powerful figure. Naturally, there were many powerful figures behind the 9th Prince, hoping that he would become the future Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty.
If the 9th Prince got too close to the useless 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled by the royal family, he would definitely be attacked by the forces behind the other competitors for the Crown Prince's position. His situation would not be good.
The 9th Prince opened his mouth but didn't take the step in the end. As he left in a hurry, he looked at Qin Chen apologetically and guiltily.
Even though he really wanted to meet his 17th brother, Qin Chen, and have a chat, being in the royal family, he was destined to be unable to act on his own will. There were too many things that he could not do as he liked since so many factors were involved.
Qin Chen understood the 9th Prince's expression and smiled warmly at him.
He understood the 9th Prince's difficulties. At least, the 9th Prince still cared about him and didn't look down on him just because he was kicked out of the royal family.
Qin Chen was already very happy with this thought.
This scene was also seen by many elders and disciples nearby. They felt pity for Qin Chen, the abandoned Prince. After all, they had just witnessed how those from the Great Qin Dynasty didn't even want to acknowledge him.
Ling Ran was the last person to step into Taiyi Main Hall. When she passed by Qin Chen, she paused for a moment and said, "If you soar one day, they will welcome you warmly."
Qin Chen was slightly taken aback.
Ling Ran cared for him as well.
He lowered his head and smiled. This was indeed true. If he had soared into the sky, the Great Qin Dynasty would not have been so indifferent. If they knew that he was the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, they would even welcome him back to the Great Qin Dynasty with the greatest grandiose.
After all, in the eyes of the world, he was a great Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Who dared to look down on him?
Even the immortal divine dynasty wouldn't dare!
Inside the Taiyi Main Hall, the Taiyi Holy Lord, the 8th Imperial Prince, and the others conversed. Laughter could be heard from time to time, and it was clear that they were having a very friendly conversation.
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the 8th Imperial Prince went straight to the point and said, "Brother Lu, I have a presumptuous request."
"Oh?" The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at the 8th Imperial Prince and the others from the Great Qin Dynasty.
As the Holy Lord of a Holy Land, how could he not know what they were up to? However, he still pretended not to know and smiled, "I wonder what presumptuous request that is?"
"I've heard that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng and that his cultivation is unparalleled," The 8th Imperial Prince said seriously, "I'm here to pay a visit to the Elder King. I wonder if brother Lu is willing to invite the Elder King on my behalf for a chat."
The rest of the Great Qin Dynasty's people also looked at The Taiyi Holy Lord with burning eyes.
In reality, the main purpose of the Great Qin Dynasty's visit to the Taiyi Holy Land was to visit the mysterious Elder King.
They hoped to win over the Elder King.
The Great Qin Dynasty had always been at its peak and ruled the Central Province together with the other three immortal divine dynasties.
However, after ancient times, the world had changed greatly. The great path had disappeared, and the Sages had disappeared as well.
In this world, it was rare to even see a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, which was why Qiyao Realm Kings could become the rulers of top factions.
It was the same for the Great Qin Dynasty.
Right now, many in the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of Crown Prince. He had a high chance of becoming the next Imperial Lord and ruling the Great Qin Dynasty.
Of course, many experts in the imperial family supported the 9th Prince.
But at the same time, the 9th Prince wasn't the only one who was qualified to fight for the position of Crown Prince. There were other Princes and even two Princesses.
The factions behind these competitors for the Crown Prince's position were all extremely powerful. They were not much weaker than the 9th Prince's faction, and they might even be stronger.
Therefore, if the 9th Prince wanted to become the Crown Prince, he needed the support of even more powerful people.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, almost all the influential figures had taken their stances. The rest of the influential figures who hadn't, remained neutral in various aspects. The fact that the many competitors for the position of Crown Prince had not been able to pull them over spoke volumes.
The experts within were either roped in or maintained a neutral stance.
Now, to increase their competitiveness, they could only rely on external forces.
At this time, even if they roped in a few Kings, it wouldn't be very effective.
Thinking of this point, the people from the 9th Prince's faction wanted to help the 9th Prince rope in a Venerable.
If he could get the support of a Venerable, the 9th Prince's competitiveness would increase, and the other Princes and Princesses would be under a lot of pressure.
It was not a lie to say that a Venerable was invincible. The reason why the Nangong family could look down on the entire Southern Desolate Lands and not be afraid of the other Holy Lands and families was not only because they had the inheritance of an ancient Emperor and an extreme emperor weapon, but even more so because they had an invincible great Venerable.
Naturally, the Central Province also had great Venerables, such as the famous great Venerable Xue Ye.
Even though great Venerable Xue Ye was extremely powerful, his temper was unpredictable.
Even if they succeeded in roping in such a great Venerabler, they would inevitably have to pay a terrifying price.
Therefore, the Taiyi Holy Land's Venerable was the best choice.

Actually, I'm the Elder King
Although the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was not as famous as the other Venerables, everyone knew how powerful he was. He had killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng, suppressed the demonic thought of a Sage-level great demon, and forced back the Kings of various Holy Lands and aristocratic families with immortal inheritances.
Now, all the major forces in the world had gradually acknowledged the Taiyi Holy Land and even hoped to befriend it because of the Venerable Elder King.
There was another important reason. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. If they could offer some benefits and help the Taiyi Holy Land regain its prosperity by paying a certain price, they might be able to get the support of the Elder King.
It was for this reason that the 9th Prince's faction had chosen to come to the Taiyi Holy Land to befriend the Elder King, hoping in roping the other party in to support the 9th Prince.
Of course, there was another important reason. When the 9th Prince had been breaking through in the wilderness of the Southern Desolate Lands, he had encountered a Venerable from the Taiyi Holy Land. It was most likely this Elder King.
Since the 9th Prince had interacted with the Elder King before, it would be easier to rope him in.
"This..." The Taiyi Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, looked troubled.
The Elder King was the highest ranking existence in the Taiyi Holy Land, even above him. He was not someone that outsiders could see just because they wanted to. The same went for even the Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, the Elder King had always been elusive. Even the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land had never seen his true face, so the possibility of him appearing was undoubtedly extremely low.
Moreover, as the Holy Lord of a Holy Land, he could naturally see through the purpose of the 8th Imperial Prince and the others' visit.
Back then, they had gone to great lengths to make that mysterious Venerable become their Elder King. They could not allow any major problems to occur.
Just as they were in a dilemma, the 8th Imperial Prince, who was a figure with a sharp mind, laughed and said, "If you can introduce the Elder King to the Great Qin Dynasty, we will be extremely grateful. In the future, if the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land come to the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty will naturally give them a grand welcome. We can also open up some of the imperial cultivation secret realms for them. Some of these secret realms were left behind by the ancestral great emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, if the 9th Prince ascends the throne one day, I'm sure the Great Qin Dynasty would be more than willing to form an alliance with the Taiyi Holy Land."
Hearing this, The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were all tempted.
How could they not be tempted by the Great Qin Dynasty's cultivation secret realms? The Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty left behind by a human great Emperor. It must have extraordinary secret realms that did not exist in the outside world. It was an unparalleled temptation for any cultivator.
Moreover, there was the promise of an alliance.
Although the Taiyi Holy Land was on the verge of revival and many Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties were willing to befriend it, it was all because of the Elder King.
What if the Elder King was no longer around one day?
After all, the Elder King should at least be three thousand years old to become a Venerable. How many more years could he live?
The worries of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others were truly weighing in their hearts. After all, if they did not worry about the future, they would soon encounter problems.
They were worried that after the Elder King passed away, the Taiyi Holy Land would return to its original state. Even if the great emperor's palace was still there, without the Elder King, who could protect the declining Taiyi Holy Land?
If they could form an alliance with the Great Qin Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be the best choice as they would be able to obtain the protection of an immortal divine dynasty.
With that, even the other factions with immortal inheritances would have to be wary when thinking of making a move against the Taiyi Holy Land.
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the other Supreme Elders looked at each other and felt that it was feasible.
Just as he was about to respond, the divine bell suddenly rang at the front gates of the Holy Land.
That was the divine bell that would only ring when there was an important matter.
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were shocked. They stood up and cupped their fists at the 8th Imperial Prince apologetically, "I'm sorry, 8th Imperial Prince. We have some matters to attend to, so we'll have to leave now. Please sit down and enjoy your tea. Please wait for a moment."
"Alright," The 8th Imperial Prince said.
However, when he looked in the direction that The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others had left, he frowned deeply. He had a bad feeling about this and muttered to himself, "Don't tell me 3rd brother and the others are here too? This is going to be troublesome!"
In the Taiyi Main Hall, Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor, also looked in the direction of the front gates and revealed a strange expression, "Other than 9th brother's faction, the other factions from the Great Qin Dynasty that are competing for the Crown Prince's position have also come. They should all be here to obtain the support of the Elder King. It's just that, if they knew that I'm the Elder King that made them lower their status and come here, I wonder what kind of expression they would have? It should be quite interesting!"
...
When The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others arrived at the front gates, they were stunned.
This was because the visitors were all from the Great Qin Dynasty. Furthermore, they were the powerful imperial Princes who had come personally. Each of them had a Prince or Princess who exuded an air of nobility behind them, as well as a group of royal family members.
"Honored guests, you've come from afar. The Taiyi Holy Land is sorry for not welcoming you," Lu Xuan and the group of Supreme Elders were a little shocked, but they still went up to welcome them at once.
"Brother Lu must be joking. We have come uninvited, please forgive us," The 3rd Imperial Prince smiled as he spoke.
A tall and sturdy Prince walked up from behind him and bowed slightly to The Taiyi Holy Lord, "Junior Qin Zhen greets the seniors."
Following that, the other Imperial Princes also stepped forward, each of them followed by a Prince or Princess. All of them bowed and did not dare to be negligent.
The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at these Princes and Princesses. He knew why they were here. He immediately ordered the disciples to open the front gates to welcome these important figures of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Holy Lord, I'm afraid that the other Imperial Princes have also come for the Elder King," A Supreme Elder sent a voice transmission to the Taiyi Holy Lord.
"That should be the only reason," Lu Xuan sighed. He knew that even though they were all part of the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many factions in the Taiyi Holy Land, let alone the Great Qin Dynasty. The factions there were far more complicated than those in the Taiyi Holy Land.
Wasn't Qin Chen, the handyman who was sweeping outside the main hall, the victim of the internal strife in the Great Qin Dynasty?
This is going to be troublesome.
At first, the Holy Lord Lu Xuan and the Supreme Elders all thought that the arrival of the 8th Imperial Prince and the 9th Prince would only benefit the Taiyi Holy Land.
However, now that the other Princes and Princesses had arrived, they finally understood that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
It was very likely that this would involve the internal strife within the Great Qin Dynasty's royal family, which was not something that the Taiyi Holy Land could participate in at the moment.
However, since these people from the Great Qin Dynasty were already here, they couldn't just chase them out.
Helplessly, they could only welcome them in as well.

17th Brother, Go Back to the Great Qin Dynasty With Me, Your 9th Brother
In the Taiyi Main Hall, the Holy Lord Lu Xuan had left, but the Holy Daughter Ling Ran was still there. She was already a King, and her status was no less than the Holy Lord's, but she still turned to serve the 8th Imperial Prince and the others as guests.
Since they were both Kings, the 8th Imperial Prince did not dare to go overboard just because he was Ling Ran's senior. He treated Ling Ran as an equal and praised her for her amazing talent in cultivation.
Ling Ran appeared humble and gentle. She treated the 8th Imperial Prince with the courtesy of a junior. She did not treat herself as the 8th Imperial Prince's equal just because she had become a King, but she did not seem eager to please either.
Her attitude made the 8th Imperial Prince even more impressed. She could be said to be a very talented lady.
At the same time, he looked at the 9th Prince.
If the 9th Prince and Ling Ran could become partners, not only was Ling Ran a very suitable wife candidate, but they would also be able to rope in the Taiyi Holy Land. This would undoubtedly be the same as roping in the Elder King to stand on the 9th Prince's side. In addition to the power that was already gathered in their faction, it would be like a sure-win ticket in the competition for the Imperial Lord's position.
At this moment, the 8th Imperial Prince smiled and said, "Feng'er, come to the Taiyi Holy Land more often when you have the time. Both you and Holy Daughter Ling Ran have entered the Qiyao Realm, both extraordinary peerless geniuses. Your realms are similar, so you should be closer and spar more in the future. It'll be beneficial for your common progress."
He then looked at Ling Ran and said gently, "Holy Daughter Ling Ran, if you have the time, you can come to the Great Qin Dynasty more often as well. There are many cultivation secret realms in the Great Qin Dynasty. As long as you come, Feng'er will bring you in. There are also ancient sutras left behind by the Sages of the past, and even Emperor relics left behind by our ancestors."
Ling Ran's eyes flickered a little. She naturally understood what the 8th Imperial Prince meant, but she couldn't just reject him straight out, so she could only say softly, "Thank you for your kind intentions, 8th Imperial Prince. If I have the time, I will definitely pay a visit to the Great Qin Dynasty."
The 9th Prince, Qin Feng, understood the 8th Imperial Prince's intentions and just casually agreed. However, he kept looking out of the hall because Qin Chen was there. Then, he found an excuse to leave his seat.
At the entrance of the main hall, Qin Chen was sweeping the floor silently.
He naturally heard everything that was going on in the hall. He could not help but shake his head and smile. To think the 8th Imperial Prince was trying to be a matchmaker for the 9th Prince and Ling Ran.
He knew that Ling Ran was extremely talented, and she was obsessed with cultivation. She did not care about love at all.
Moreover, as the future Holy Lord of the Tai Yi Holy Land, Ling Ran couldn't possibly be the 9th Prince's wife.
The 8th Imperial Prince probably had an unfulfillable idea.
At the same time, he was also a little troubled. Quite a few Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses from the Great Qin Dynasty had come all of a sudden, and their target was him, the Elder King. This had already disrupted his peaceful life.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed to become the Elder King as per the Holy Lord Taiyi and the others' request.
Qin Chen couldn't help but massage his temples with his fingers, thinking about what he should do later.
He was, after all, the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. He couldn't just ignore the whole matter.
At this moment, the 9th Prince suddenly walked out. When he saw that Qin Chen was still there, his face lit up and he warmly greeted him, "17th brother, it's been a long time since we saw each other!"
"9th brother," Qin Chen also smiled.
Their statuses were worlds apart. At least on the surface, the 9th Prince was already a Qiyao Realm King and a strong contender for the future Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had a high chance of ruling the immortal divine dynasty in the future and was one of the dominators of the world. On the other hand, Qin Chen was only a lowly handyman who looked to be in his early forties and was only in the Mingquan Realm.
While the other members of the royal family looked down on him, the exiled 17th Prince, only the 9th Prince treated him as usual.
Qin Chen acknowledged the 9th Prince as his brother.
The 9th Prince looked at Qin Chen with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, 17th brother. You've been in the Taiyi Holy Land for more than 30 years, yet I've only come to see you now, and under such circumstances too."
He felt guilty. He had only come to meet Qin Chen because he was here to visit the Elder King.
"9th brother, I'm doing pretty well now," Qin Chen said. He didn't blame the 9th Prince. It was already good enough that he still recognized him as his brother.
Besides, he was not lying. If he had not been sent to the Taiyi Holy Land, he would not have been able to get the check-in system, let alone become the revered Elder King.
However, the more Qin Chen said so, the more guilty the 9th Prince felt. He thought that Qin Chen was just trying to hide his low spirits.
To think the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty had been reduced to a servant. Who could tolerate the difference in status?
Now, even though Qin Chen was younger than the 9th Prince, he looked as old as his father. The 9th Prince felt his heart ache and couldn't help but say, "17th brother, after this matter is settled, I will bring you back to the Great Qin Dynasty. With enough resources, no matter how bad your talent is, it'll help you reach the Sixiang Realm or even the Wuxing Realm. Then, you can return to the royal family. I believe Father would be very willing to see you then."
"9th brother, thank you for your kind intentions, but I don't want to go back," Qin Chen was touched, but he refused.
He was now the Elder King in the Taiyi Holy Land, with even higher authority than the Holy Lord. He had power and authority, not to mention that he could obtain many treasures from checking in around the place. He was not willing to leave just like that. At the very least, he had to check in at all the places available in the Taiyi Holy Land.
Furthermore, to be honest, he did not have much of a sense of belonging to the Great Qin Dynasty.
Of course, he would definitely make a trip to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future, as his mother was still imprisoned in the cold palace.
But not now.
Although he was already a peerless Venerable in the eyes of others, and all the immortal factions needed to respect him, he knew that there woudld always be someone better than him in the Canglan Continent. There must be other Venerables and even more powerful Sages.
Furthermore, the ten thousand ancient races would reappear soon in the future, and Sages would be everywhere. Even if he became a Sage, the ten thousand ancient races would kill him as a warning to the human race if he was too conspicuous.
Therefore, Qin Chen felt that it was better to keep a low profile for now. He would only surface after his strength had increased a few more realms.
By then, he would return to the Great Qin Dynasty, and his words would be enough to settle the situation.
At this stage, he still had to be cowardly, no, cautious and steady!
The 9th Prince thought that Qin Chen was feeling inferior and didn't dare to go back. He said seriously, "Don't worry, 17th brother. I've already become a King, and I'm a true core member of the imperial family now. I can definitely bring you back. "
"9th brother, I didn't mean it that way..."
"17th brother, you don't need to say anything more. I'm here for you, so don't be afraid!"
Qin Chen really wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the 8th Imperial Prince walked out of the Taiyi Main Hall. Seeing the two of them arguing, he coldly glanced at Qin Chen and then at the 9th Prince. With a hint of blame in his eyes, he said, "Feng'er, don't mess around. You can't bring him back. Otherwise, the people from the other factions will definitely attack you with this. Even your Father will not like you. It wasn't easy for you to get to where you are now. You can't waste all your efforts just for this good-for-nothing. "

Drawing a Clear Line
It turned out that the 8th Imperial Prince was suspicious of the 9th Prince's departure. He sensed that the 9th Prince was in front of the palace and was chatting with the abandoned Prince, Qin Chen. The Prince even wanted to bring the 9th Prince back to the Great Qin Dynasty, so he immediately came out to stop him.
What kind of joke was this? Qin Chen's mother's faction had fought with the current Empress' faction in the past and lost. As a result, Qin Chen's mother had been banished to the cold palace, and her faction was also suppressed. They were not as great as they used to be.
The current Imperial Lord did not like that faction either.
If it wasn't for the fact that the faction was quite powerful, it would have long been suppressed and crippled.
Qin Chen was just an abandoned Prince as well as a mortal with a useless body. Even though he had broken through the shackles of the mortal body, he was still only a weak cultivator at the Mingquan Realm, which was insignificant and not worthy of the attention of the Imperial Lord and the Empress. Now was an important moment for the major factions to support their chosen Princes and Princesses to fight for the position of the Crown Prince. They could not make any mistakes, even if it was just a small one.
After all, the attitude of the Imperial Lord and the Empress was also very important.
Furthermore, if the other Crown Prince competitors knew about this, they would definitely use it to attack the 9th Prince's faction.
As one of the core figures of the 9th Prince's faction, the 8th Imperial Prince could not allow such a thing to happen. He had to stop it from happening no matter what.
"But..." The 9th Prince was anxious, and he wanted to refute.
"No buts, that's the end of this," The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at the aging Qin Chen and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the latter with no affection and said indifferently, "17, at least you have some self-awareness and know how to refuse. If your 9th brother's future is ruined because of you, you can't bear the responsibility. As for you, if your 9th brother becomes the Imperial Lord in the future and you haven't died of old age, you can go back and confer upon you the title of a Prince."
Of course, he didn't think that Qin Chen could live to that age, because Kings could live for two to three thousand years. The Imperial Lord was in his prime, and he would probably continue to hold the throne for a few hundred years before he officially abdicated. At that time, Qin Chen might not even be alive.
At this time, the other imperial family's disciples also came out one after another and dissuaded, "9th brother, now that you've become a Qiyao Realm King, your chances of becoming Crown Prince are very high if there is nothing unexpected. You might even have the greatest chance of becoming the Imperial Lord. You can't waste all your efforts because of an abandoned Prince."
"9th brother, if you bring this trash Qin Chen back, you will definitely be attacked by the other imperial family experts. It will be very disadvantageous for you to fight for the Crown Prince position."
Qin Chen furrowed his brows. Although he did not want to return to the Great Qin Dynasty, these people's attitudes made him very displeased. He really wanted to show his true cultivation and send these guys flying with a single slap.
But after thinking about it, there was no need to expose himself just because of these guys. It would only cause countless troubles. He could just find an opportunity to secretly beat them up.
After all, they had come to the Taiyi Holy Land to visit the Elder King. He would just appear later and teach these guys a lesson.
After thinking it through, Qin Chen's mood brightened. He said to the 9th Prince, "9th brother, I'm already very happy with your kind intentions. I also hope that you can become the next Imperial Lord. At that time, no one will be able to object to you bringing me back."
The 9th Prince went silent. After a long while, he said to Qin Chen, "I'm sorry, 17th brother. You have to wait for me. I will definitely become the Imperial Lord. "
"I believe 9th brother will definitely succeed!"
"Oh, if it isn't my 8th brother and nephew Qin Feng?" At this moment, a mocking voice was heard.
A group of people descended from the sky. They were the other Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty, who were being invited in by the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other higher-ups of the Holy Lands.
The 8th Imperial Prince frowned. As expected, they had all come.
The 9th Prince Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He raised his head to look at the Princes and Princesses and said, "3rd Imperial uncle, 11th Imperial uncle, 19th Imperial uncle, 2nd brother, 7th brother, 13th sister, you're here too."
Three Imperial Princes had arrived with their Prince and Princesses. Immediately, their eyes fell on Qin Chen, who was dressed in a green handyman's robe. Although he looked much older, they could still recognize him. They could not help but be slightly stunned. Wasn't he the 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled from the royal family?
The King-level Imperial Princes frowned slightly. They were very disdainful of the fact that this descendant of the Imperial Lord had been reduced to a handyman. They weren't dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Taiyi Holy Land either because in their eyes, Qin Chen, an abandoned Prince, was not even qualified to be part of the royal family. They did not approve of him.
The other Princes and Princesses also glanced at him and turned a blind eye. Even if they recognized him, they did not have the slightest expression, treating him like roadside weeds, not putting him in their eyes at all.
If it was any other time, they wouldn't have bothered. However, they clearly saw the 9th Prince chatting with the abandoned Prince, so they couldn't help but have some thoughts.
"It seems that nephew Qin Feng is quite close to Qin Chen. I wonder what the Imperial Lord's opinion will be after he finds out about this?" the 3rd Imperial Prince said.
The 8th Imperial Prince naturally knew what these people's goal was. He was also a Lord of a region, so he naturally had a strong mentality. His expression did not change as he said, "3rd brother, you've misunderstood. Feng'er just happened to meet the abandoned Prince. With Feng'er's identity, how could he be familiar with Concubine Yang's useless descendant?"
In just a few words, he had completely cut off the relationship between the 9th Prince and Qin Chen.
The 9th Prince opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He looked at Qin Chen with guilt.
"Is that so?" The 3rd Imperial Prince and the others looked at the 9th Prince and Qin Chen. Seeing that they couldn't get any important information, they were disappointed and could only enter the Taiyi Main Hall.
On the way, when they passed by the 8th Imperial Prince, they sneered, "8th brother, it seems that you haven't had the time to rope in Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land. You're a step too slow. It'll depend on how capable each of us is later."
The 8th Imperial Prince's face darkened as he watched them leave.
