Chapter 51: The Coronation Ceremony

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Not long after, Qin Chen received the news that the ninth prince was about to be crowned.

The ninth prince had been the crown prince of the Great Qin Dynasty for twenty years, and his cultivation level was getting higher by the day.

Ｏver the years, the Great Qin emperor gradually let the ninth prince deal with some state affairs. Even though some princes and princesses had made things difficult for him, he still completed them perfectly and received the Great Qin emperor’s approval.

The Great Qin emperor was in the prime of his life, and he had reached the peak of Qiyao Realm. He hoped to abdicate as soon as possible and went on a retreat for cultivation so that he could break through and become a Venerable in Bahuang Realm.

Therefore, he was preparing to abdicate and pass the power to the current crown prince, the ninth prince, Qin Feng.

All of this seemed to be logical.

However, what made Qin Chen feel strange was that the ninth prince didn’t tell him about his coronation ceremony. Instead, he intentionally hid the news.

“Why does he hide about the coronation ceremony? Something must be up!” Qin Chen could tell. Otherwise, they were close to each other, so his ninth brother would have shared this great news with him.

“Something is wrong!” Qin Chen thought.

Just as he was about to send someone from Taiyi Holy Land to investigate this matter, a letter was delivered to him. It was from the eighth prince.

“The eighth prince even sent me a letter, so it should be something serious.” Qin Chen opened the letter, which was simple and direct. The ninth prince would be the new emperor in two days.

However, the eighth prince had received some information that those against the ninth prince might interfere and stop him from being the next emperor on the day of his coronation ceremony.

Till then, there would be many top-tier cultivators attacking the ninth prince.

Thus, the eighth prince had sent a letter, hoping that Elder King would show up on the day of the coronation to stop the potential enemies and help the ninth prince to successfully ascend the throne.

In the letter, Qin Chen also learned about the ninth prince’s perfect performance in the past twenty years, so everyone thought it should have been easy for him to be throned. However, after becoming the crown prince, the ninth prince repeatedly advised the emperor to release Qin Chen’s mother. This idea made the queen and her supporters upset.

The queen was the one who had abused her power to send Qin Chen’s mother to Cold Palace.

After knowing the ninth prince would like to set Qin Chen’s mother free, the queen and her supporters were furious and would never allow this to happen. They had decided to make a move on the coronation ceremony and make him lose his position as crown prince, not to mention becoming the emperor.

After hearing this news, Qin Chen understood that the ninth prince had deliberately not told him. He thought that he could solve this problem and didn’t want to trouble Qin Chen.

However, coronation day was destined to be very dangerous. He might be removed from the position and never be able to be the emperor, but there was also the danger of being killed at any time.

“Ninth brother,, I’m your seventeenth brother. In the entire Great Qin imperial family, aside from mother, the only person I acknowledge is you. How can I not show up to protect my brother?”

“It’s your coronation ceremony. No matter what, I have to go.”

How could Qin Chen sit on the sidelines? He decided to move right away.

He had originally wanted to go alone, but Lord Dragon had also requested to go with him. The five great demon kings of Demon Valley had also asked to tag alone.

Qin Chen thought for a moment. He didn’t have to do some things personally, and he could let these guys do it. Finally, he agreed to take them.

He brought the Dragon Venerable and the five demon kings with him as they headed toward the Great Qin Dynasty.

Lord Dragon and the five great demon kings had all transformed into their human forms. Otherwise, they would be too big of a target.

Canglan Continent was huge. It was divided into five regions, Central Province, East Sea, Southern Desolate Lands, West Range, and the North Pole.

The Great Qin Dynasty was located in Central Province. It was not only one of the four most powerful immortal divine dynasties there, but it also ruled a massive endless territory and had an army of hundreds of millions.

Taiyi Holy Land was located north of Southern Desolate Lands, hundreds of millions of miles away from the Great Qin Dynasty, which was in Central Province. Therefore, it would take at least two weeks for a Bahunag Realm Venerable to reach there.

They used the void divine altar, a treasure that was specially made for long travel.

Whooosh!

They crossed the sky and headed for Central Province.

Not long after, Qin Chen, Lord Dragon, and the others appeared in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin City.

Qin City was magnificent, and the walls were more than 300 meters tall. The city walls were dark and thick, with many bloodstains on them. It had experienced many terrifying battles and was an immortal ancient city with billions of people. The city was full of life.

“The last time I came to Qin City was a thousand years ago,” Lord Dragon sighed softly. Clearly, he had come to Qin City and had come stories here.

However, Qin Chen didn’t ask. Who didn’t have stories when they were young?

He looked at Qin City. It had been a few decades, but it was still the same. Nothing had changed.

This was the first time Qin Chen had come to Qin City, where he had been born, after transmigrating to this world.

Therefore, there was a familiar yet strange feeling.

This city had quite a few visitors, but the security had been much tighter recently. Even the gatekeepers seemed to be powerful.

It was because they would have a new emperor soon. Till then, the ninth prince, Qin Feng, would ascend the throne.

From the public’s comments, Qin Chen could tell that the people had a very high opinion of the ninth prince and believed that he would be a decent emperor.

It was pretty easy for the group to enter Qin City without being noticed, and they stayed in an elegant and noble pavilion not far from the imperial city.

This building belonged to Taiyi Holy Land.

Every immortal heritage had its own businesses in the important ancient cities.

Taiyi Holy Land also had some. After showing his token of Elder King, they checked in.

The pavilion was a tall building. Standing on it, he could see the imperial city in the center of Qin City.

Qin Chen looked at the sky, clear and fresh. It was a peaceful scene.

However, he squinted his eyes and could feel the danger hidden in the dark. Numerous dark clouds surrounded the imperial city, which was an ominous sign.

Even the Great Qin Dynasty’s lucky qi did not manage to clear them away.

It showed that the ninth prince’s coronation ceremony would be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the danger came from the royal family. Otherwise, the clouds of disaster would not have surrounded the imperial city, which was supported by an immortal divine dynasty’s lucky qi.

Lord Dragon clearly understood what was going on as well, looked at Qin Chen, and said, “Lord Chen, don’t you want to just walk in the imperial city directly? If you came, the Great Qin imperial family would definitely restore your position and welcome you back. Don’t you want to be a prince again?”
