Chapter 34
Indeed, Your Aptitude Is Average
Acknowledge as the master?
Everyone in the Taiyi Main Hall was stunned.
As one of the candidates for the Crown Prince position, the 2nd Prince was not stupid. He immediately walked forward and bowed at a 90-degree angle to Qin Chen, “Junior Qin Ming hopes to be the Elder King’s disciple. I hope the Elder King will agree!”
The Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses’ expressions changed. They had never expected that the 3rd Imperial Prince would offer for the 2nd Prince to become the Elder King’s disciple just to win over the latter.
One had to know that in this world, one of the strongest relationships was that of master and disciple.
Once a disciple betrayed their master, they would be spurned by the world and no one would respect them.
The 2nd Prince hoped to tie the Elder King to their side. As such, they gave such an offer: If the 2nd Prince became the Imperial Lord in the future, the Elder King would become the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Dynasty. He would be considered half a member of the Great Qin Dynasty. Furthermore, because he was the emperor’s mentor, he would also have great power.
It had to be said that these conditions were very generous. The position of the Imperial Advisor was extraordinary.
However, the Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land was a peerless Venerable in the Bahuang Realm. He was indeed qualified to be the Imperial Lord’s teacher.
“I didn’t expect that 3rd brother would seize the initiative this time!”
Although the expressions of the other Imperial Princes were somewhat unsightly, there was nothing they could do now.
The expressions of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others also changed slightly. They hadn’t expected this either, but they didn’t say anything. They could only look at the Elder King.
This was because once the Elder King agreed, he would be dragged into the internal strife of the Great Qin Dynasty’s royal family. If the 2nd Prince won and became the Emperor, then it would be fine. If not, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble.
The final decision was still up to the Elder King.
The 3rd Imperial Prince looked at this scene with great satisfaction. He believed that the Elder King would not refuse.
Qin Chen couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. The other party wanted him to take the 2nd Prince Qin Ming as his disciple and become the Imperial Advisor of the future Imperial Lord?
It was simply laughable.
Did he want to pull him into the 2nd Prince’s faction with just this?
If he had been willing to reveal his identity, the Great Qin Dynasty would probably come forward and not only make him the next Imperial Lord, but they would even make the current Imperial Lord abdicate and pass on the throne to him.
An existence that was on par with a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm was so valuable that many of the old fogeys in the Great Qin Dynasty would not hesitate to come forward and force the Imperial Lord to apologize for what happened all those years ago and abdicate his position. They would probably try to win him back with the Imperial Lord position.
Qin Chen didn’t have a good impression of the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince. After all, they had just treated him like an ant at the entrance of the Taiyi Main Hall and even threatened the 9th Prince while they were at it.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to reveal his identity too early and disrupt his peaceful life, he would have already taken revenge then and there.
Qin Chen was displeased. Now that a great opportunity had presented itself, he naturally had to teach the 3rd Imperial Prince a lesson. He looked at the 2nd Prince and said, “Tell me about your talent. If you’re not talented, I won’t take you in as my disciple.”
Hearing this, the 2nd Prince’s face brightened and he immediately said, “Elder King, I’m not talented, but I started cultivating when I was seven, awakened my spirit sea when I was eight, and stepped into the Yiyuan Realm then. I’ve been cultivating for 217 years now, and have only just advanced to the Qiyao Realm seven years ago.”
He sounded as if he seemed to be dissatisfied that he had cultivated for 200 years before reaching the Qiyao Realm, but anyone could hear the pride in his tone.
The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were in an uproar as they looked at the 2nd Prince with admiration.
To enter the Qiyao Realm after just cultivating for 200 years was a rare sight. He could be considered a peerless genius.
To think he still felt dissatisfied. It was really infuriating in comparison.
The Qiyao Realm was their lifelong goal.
When the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others heard this, they were shocked.
As expected of the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many geniuses.
Reaching the Qiyao Realm in just 200 years, the 2nd Prince was definitely a first-class genius. If it weren’t for Ling Ran, who had the monstrous Zixia Body, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would have been completely overshadowed.
“Zhen’er is too modest. Your talent can definitely be considered outstanding even in the world,” The 3rd Imperial Prince’s face was full of pride. If it weren’t for the 2nd Prince’s extraordinary talent, he wouldn’t have chosen his faction either.
Then, he helped promote the Prince by saying, “Of course, he can’t be compared to you, Elder King. If he can become your disciple and receive your guidance, I believe the 2nd Prince will be able to enter the Bahuang Realm in the future. With that, both the Elder King and your disciple will be Venerables that are renowned throughout the world, wouldn’t that be great?”
“Shameless!”
“I didn’t know that 3rd brother was so good at flattering!”
The 8th, 11th, and 19th Imperial Princes cursed in their hearts. Indeed, a shameless person was invincible.
However, they also felt a deep sense of danger, hating themselves for not thinking of the same offer and letting the 3rd Imperial Prince take the initiative.
“I don’t think the 2nd Prince is being too modest. You need 200 years to even enter the Qiyao Realm. Your talent is indeed average. I have no interest in taking someone with such ordinary talent as my disciple. Please leave,” Qin Chen sneered.
The entire place was silent!
Everyone looked at Elder King in shock.
The 2nd Prince was dumbfounded. He had just been mocking himself, but now he was really being evaluated as ordinary!
The 3rd Imperial Prince was also stunned, and his expression turned ugly. The 2nd Prince he supported was evaluated as mediocre, so didn’t that mean that he had bad taste?
He could not help but be furious.
“What the Elder King said is true. Ming’er’s aptitude is ordinary. It seems that he is not fated to be the Elder King’s disciple. However…” The 3rd Imperial Prince’s voice was cold and deep as he looked straight at the Elder King on the main seat and said, “May I ask, who exactly is the Elder King? I’ve always been very curious.”
The 3rd Imperial Prince had originally been rather respectful of the Elder King, but after the other party had ruthlessly rejected him in public, he no longer respected him. He just wanted to know who this Elder King was.
The others were also curious. They had heard that this Elder King was very mysterious, and even the people of the Taiyi Holy Land didn’t know his true identity.
However, the other Imperial Princes were naturally unwilling to offend the Elder King, so they all said, “3rd brother, what do you mean by this? The Elder King is an unparalleled Venerable. How can you question his identity?”
“The Elder King is both the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land and a Venerable of the world. How can we question his identity? 3rd brother, you’ve crossed the line.”
“I just want to know the true identity of the Elder King,” The 3rd Imperial Prince snorted coldly, “As far as I know, the Taiyi Holy Land hasn’t had a Qiyao Realm King for tens of thousands of years. Only recently did Holy Lord Lu and Holy Daughter Ling Ran appear. If the Elder King had been from the Taiyi Holy Land, he would’ve been famous all over the world. But I’ve never heard of anyone in the Taiyi Holy Land who is famous all over the world except for Holy Lord Lu and a few others. Therefore, I suspect that Elder King isn’t from the Taiyi Holy Land, but an outsider. ”
Even though the 3rd Imperial Prince’s words had chop logic, they sounded somewhat reasonable.
The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. It was surprising to hear that a Venerable who could suppress the world had come out of nowhere.
Before this, the Taiyi Holy Land had elected him as the Elder King, so outsiders had not been able to say much. Now that the 3rd Imperial Prince had taken the initiative to ask, many people were curious.
To be honest, the people of the Taiyi Holy Land were also very curious, but no one asked for fear of offending the Elder King.
What was the true identity of the Elder King?
