Chapter 11: Encountering Someone From the Great Qin Dynasty
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
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.
