The atmosphere turned somewhat heavy. The Ninth Prince had not expected Xiao Chen's outburst at all.
The Heavenly Book Scholar was stunned for a long time at the side before reacting.
Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen's words were overboard. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
The Ninth Prince could be a good person. Even if he did not try to become the crown prince, Wang Fei would not dare to kill him due to their blood relationship.
However, Xiao Chen was different. He did not have such a status to protect himself and his friends.
Once the First Prince succeeded in ascending to the throne, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Xiao Chen. He might even have to pay a heavy price.
In terms of transactions, the Ninth Prince was clearly thinking of himself in this transaction.
The Ninth Prince only thought about using the key in Xiao Chen's hands to prevent the Demonic Dao cultivators from obtaining the Wings of Time if the Ethereal Immortal Palace appeared.
The Ninth Prince had never thought about what Xiao Chen would do if the First Prince ascended to the throne.
To Xiao Chen, this was unfair. Why should he help such a selfish person?
What is the point of having you?!
The Ninth Prince's words sounded harsh, but they were not overboard at all. This was the truth.
After speaking, Xiao Chen appeared somewhat confused. Earlier, he actually wanted to kill the Ninth Prince. Now, he wanted to kill the Ninth Prince, even blaming some of his resentment on the Ninth Prince.
If not for Su Ye pressing down on his hand, who knew what would have happened?
After Xiao Chen calmed down, he was distracted for a while, appearing somewhat dispirited. He felt a deep helplessness. He had never felt so cowardly before.
To think that he could say such shameless words, shifting the blame to someone else.
This was simply laughably childish.
"Sorry for the offense earlier, Your Highness. No matter what, my martial nephew's death has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince. I will apologize in the future. Su Ye, let's go. "
"Wait a moment."
The Ninth Prince quickly called out to Xiao Chen. Then, he stood up and said, "Lord Xiao, there is no need to blame yourself. You are right. If I had the same status as Little Thirteen, First Brother would not have dared to touch Lord Xiao's martial nephew. I have always been thinking about how to contribute to the dynasty, how to stop the Demonic Dao cultivators. I was indeed eager for quick success and did not consider things from Lord Xiao's perspective. "
"So?"
Xiao Chen said softly without turning his head.
"If Lord Xiao is willing to become my guest, I am willing to do my best to fight for the position of crown prince."
The Ninth Prince Wang Yan said, enunciating each word with a grave expression.
When the Heavenly Book Scholar heard that, he trembled slightly. He knew that the Ninth Prince was a man of his word. Once he decided on something, he would not hesitate and go all out to execute it.
However, it was completely different from his original intentions.
Eh …
The Heavenly Book Scholar suddenly revealed a doubtful expression. Then, a pair of profound talisman seals formed in his eyes. The moment this seal appeared, he saw the general star above the Ninth Prince's head rapidly fall.
Instead, the originally dim Imperial Star gradually glowed and rose.
He had advised the Ninth Prince in the past. The Ninth Prince was a talented general who could lead an army to war and defend a region. However, he did not have the talent of an Emperor, and his Emperor Star was dim. Not to mention the three princes, he could not even compare to some of the other princes.
However, the Ninth Prince's General Star had suddenly fallen, and his Emperor Star had risen.
The sudden change in Fate Dao was a strange situation that he had never seen before, but it really appeared in front of him today.
This … how can it be?
Is it because of me? The Heavenly Book Scholar looked around and fixed his gaze on Xiao Chen.
However, the Heavenly Book Scholar did not dare to try to advise Xiao Chen's Emperor Star. Even if the Heavenly Book Scholar were ten times more courageous, he would not dare to try to advise Xiao Chen's Emperor Star again.
"Ninth Prince, are you sure?"
Xiao Chen asked softly as he turned to look at Wang Yan.
"I'm sure."
Wang Yan replied softly, "As the saying goes, one word is like a wake-up call. Most of the time, I do not like to take the initiative to resolve problems. I only want to wait for problems to appear before thinking of a way to resolve them. I never thought of taking the initiative to control everything. Even if I managed to stop First Brother this time, what about next time? There will always be times when I cannot guard against it. You are right. I have indeed been deceiving myself. "
Su Ye exchanged glances with Xiao Chen. When she saw the other party nod slightly, she said, "As long as the Ninth Prince says it, the Misty Rain Pavilion will do its best to help the Ninth Prince seize the throne at all costs."
"Many thanks. However, even if I am determined to become the crown prince and have the Misty Rain Pavilion's help, my chances of victory are still very slim. I would also like to ask, Lord Xiao, have you really thought it through? "
Wang Yan countered with a question, his expression slowly turning calm on his handsome face.
Xiao Chen replied softly, "I always felt that as long as you fought for it, you would have a fifty percent chance of success. If you did not fight for it, you would not even have a ten percent chance. That was how you were previously. You did not even give me a ten percent chance. Even if I did my best, I would not have any chance of success. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I understand."
"Good. I will enter closed-door cultivation during this period. You can discuss the matter of recruiting guests with Pavilion Master Su. There is no need to worry about resources. As long as you do your best, I have nothing to say if you fail, "the Ninth Prince said after some thought.
The Ninth Prince said after some thought, "If you are going to enter closed-door cultivation, then do it at my residence. I have the best closed-door cultivation room of the royal clan. The Spiritual Energy here is incomparable to anywhere else. You can experience the wonders for yourself. "
"Alright, I will stay here, then."
Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony, directly agreeing.
After entering the secret realm of the residence, Xiao Chen entered closed-door cultivation.
Compared to the other princes' guests, Xiao Chen's cultivation was still too low. Most of the guests that entered the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb were Sovereign Emperors several hundred years old. There was no lack of older-generation demonic geniuses like Dao Yan.
When they were young, they had pretty good talent and sufficient resources. Furthermore, with their accumulations over time, there would definitely not be any weaklings.
Among them, there might be some experts skilled in a Great Dao. By relying on the accumulation of time and hundreds of years, they could condense a small world expert.
A Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor who could condense a small world was definitely an anomaly, an anomaly that could fight a Peak Sovereign Emperor.
There would not be many of such people, at most four or five. However, just one of them would be practically unrivaled in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
When facing such an expert, Xiao Chen had to think about the resources he could use.
"My cultivation has already soared. It is practically impossible for me to break through to 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor within a short time. I can't raise my cultivation. If I want to raise my strength, I can only think in other directions. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After a while, he thought of three directions.
The first was the Thunder Dao. After refining the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Thunder Cliff Tree, his Thunder Dao Domain had already reached the fifth-layer. Of all the Dao Domains, the Thunder Dao was the highest. With the support of the Alloy Dragon Armor, his fifth-layer Dao Domain could rival a sixth-layer Dao Domain in might.
With the support of the Saber Dao Domain and the Ice Dao Domain, it could rival a ninth-layer Dao Domain.
He possessed three Dao Domains, all of which were condensed in his Divine Seal. This was extremely rare among Sovereign Emperors. The might of the three Dao Domains far surpassed that of a single Dao Domain, extremely horrifying.
However, it was still somewhat insufficient.
"I still have to add this."
Xiao Chen opened his palm, and a golden Divine Lightning Talisman slowly came out.
Xiao Chen's palm seemed to turn into a boundless sea. The golden talisman gave off a bright electric light. However, none of it leaked out of his palm.
The Immortal Epoch's Thunder Immortal Ancestor had condensed the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning from the Immortal Epoch.
The talisman in Xiao Chen's hand had only used a tenth of its power, but its might was already terrifying.
The talisman in his hand had already been firmly branded into his Blue Dragon Divine Seal, and it had perfectly fused with his soul power.
As long as he willed it, his soul power would erupt, and he would be able to release the tribulation lightning within the Divine Lightning Talisman.
Compared to the God of Lightning Eye of the past, it was much more profound.
However, now, Xiao Chen wanted to go further. He wanted to infuse the talisman in his palm into his Thunder Dao Domain.
Then, the three layered Dao Domains, supported by the Alloy Dragon Armor, formed a Dao Domain that could resist a small world.
Xiu!
After confirming the direction, Xiao Chen put away the Divine Thunder Talisman and a scroll appeared in his palm.
It was the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram. Ever since the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram was condensed into a painting, the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram had become a painting. Ever since the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram condensed into a scroll, Xiao Chen rarely used it. Now, it was time for him to do so.
This would be his strongest defensive means. He wanted to raise the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame and the Primal Chaos Heavenly Flame to Rank 7 within one month.
They would become his second trump card.
The third trump card was the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Merciless Killing. If heaven wanted to kill, who would dare to not die?
As for the final Dragon's Gate's Forbidden Art, the God Demon Body Unsealing Technique, it was best not to use it. Hence, once he used it, even Xiao Chen would not be able to control the consequences.
Aside from this, there was the improvement of the Ten Thousand Dragons Art. The Ninth Prince was right.
This secret realm of the royal residence was indeed pretty good. The Spiritual Energy here was far denser than that of the outside world. It was like the Dragon Vein buried deep in the royal palace connected to these royal residences. Cultivating here would go smoothly and incomparably miraculous.
After determining his direction, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "These are trump cards that can temporarily raise my combat prowess. As for the Supreme Dragon Fist and Firmament's Rage, I have to stabilize them first."
While Xiao Chen was in closed-door cultivation, the various royal residences outside the royal palace were not peaceful.
The era of great competition in the Yanwu Dynasty had arrived without anyone noticing.
