“Although I’ve obtained an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it’s only a slight increase in my attack power. I don’t know when I can improve further and reach Juitian Realm.” Qin Chen sighed softly. He was already a Bahunag Realm great Venerable, but it would be difficult for him to enter Juitian Realm. So far, he had not found the opportunity yet.

If he followed the rules and cultivated, it would take him thousands of years. Even if he had the Chaotic Holy Body, it would take him decades to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.

However, it was too long for Qin Chen.

It had only been a few decades since he had come to this world and cultivated until now. It was too long for him to spend decades entering Juitian Realm, so it would be terrific if the system could give him a chance to reach that level by checking in.

He threw these useless thoughts out of his head and looked at the sky, which was clear and full of stars but now covered with dark clouds. The thunders broke the silence of the night.

It didn’t make sense. The Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty with a strong royal aura, so the sky should be clear all year round. Dark clouds couldn’t have gathered here.

There was only one possibility.

It was a bad omen sign!

Something significant was coming tomorrow at noon.

The succession of the Great Qin Dynasty’s emperor and the new emperor’s ascension was undoubtedly a grand event for the entire Great Qin Dynasty and Central Province. Everyone was talking about this event.

A dense crowd of people was holding the coronation ceremony in the imperial city, which was extremely grand.

The sky once again displayed a clear and peaceful picture. Qin City was decorated with lanterns and colored lights, demonstrating a beautiful scene.

Qin Chen looked up and saw that in the imperial city from Taiyi Holy Land’s pavilion, and he could see the former emperor abdicate. The crown prince, Qin Feng, had changed into a dragon robe and a crown. He was about to complete the ceremony.

The princes, princesses, and other important members of the imperial clan all stood on the two sides to witness this moment.

The entire Great Qin Dynasty was paying close attention to this grand event.

However, the weather changed all of a sudden.

The next moment, dark clouds gathered.

Qin City instantly turned dark. The sky was as black as ink, and thick bolts of lightning interweaved as if a terrible storm was about to come.

All the citizens of Qin City looked up at the sky. Why did the weather change so suddenly?

“It’s coronation day, but the weather is pathetic. Is this a sign that the universe thinks that the crown prince is not qualified to become the new emperor? ” Suddenly, a cold voice rang out and echoed throughout Qin City.

The people were all shocked and started to doubt.

There had never been such a change when the previous emperors ascended the throne. Unfortunately, only the crown prince, Qin Feng, ascended the throne, and such a change occurred. Did the universe seriously think that the crown prince wasn’t qualified to be the emperor?

“All the coronation ceremonies for previous emperors were full of peace, love, and unity. Why is it that the weather turns depressing when ninth brother was about to sit on the throne?”

“Ninth brother, could it be that even the universe thinks that you can’t become the emperor?”

“Ninth brother, even the sky turns dark. I’m afraid you’re not suitable to be the new emperor. Why don’t you hand the power to us?”

“Feng, why don’t you give the throne to other brothers and sisters who are more capable? Otherwise, the Great Qin Dynasty will be in trouble if the universe doesn’t favor this idea.”

The princes and princesses spoke below the stage, adding insult to injury.

Moreover, some other members of the imperial family also agreed with them.

The crown prince looked up at the changing color sky, and his voice shook the entire Qin City. “The Great Qin Dynasty is the people of Emperor Shi, so can anything stop us? The weather is not cooperative, but I am making it to follow my order.”

Boom!

After he roared, the dark clouds in the sky immediately dissipated and were replaced by a clear sky with a sunny day.

Those trying to scheme against the crown prince were all shocked, for they didn’t expect him to deal with the obstacle easily.

In the distance, Qin Chen nodded slightly. His ninth brother had grown up and become more mature, so he knew how to solve the problem properly.

However, those who didn’t want the ninth prince to be crowned were upset with the situation.

Everything seemed to be going on as usual in the imperial city for others, and the crown prince was in the midst of the coronation ceremony. However, Qin Chen could instantly tell that something was up.

It was a smokescreen!

Blockade!

A top figure had taken action and sealed off the inside of the imperial city, changing the images inside and outside so that the people outside could not see the truth. Only a top expert could see through the illusion.

A figure appeared in the sky above the imperial city, looked down at the crown prince, and said coldly, “You have colluded with traitors in an attempt to seize the imperial power. It is unforgivable, and you are not qualified to ascend the throne. Qin Feng, if you abdicate now, everything will go peacefully. Also, you won’t be accountable!”

The crown prince raised his head and revealed a look of anger. “Third Uncle, what are you doing?”

That person man was his third uncle.

“Feng, you’re not suitable to be the emperor. Just let it go,” Third Uncle said.

“You have gone too far. Feng was chosen as the emperor because he had passed through many obstacles. ” His eighth uncle stood out and glared at Third Uncle.

The third uncle said, “Eighth brother, you should try to talk Feng out of it. His personality is not strong enough, and he wants to release Concubine Yang from the Cold Palace. You know that she betrayed the last emperor and can not be released, right?”

Concubine Yang was Qin Chen’s mother.

Just as the eighth uncle was about to speak, the eleventh uncle stepped forward and said coldly, “Eighth brother, he is right. Feng colluded with a traitor and his crime is unforgivable. He can not be the emperor! ”

“I agree with them.” the nineteenth uncle also stood up and said, “It’s not too late to correct the problem now. We just need to help another prince to be the new emperor.”

The eighth uncle’s expression changed slightly. His three brothers represented a different group, so their objection was a complicated problem for him and the crown prince.

The old emperor had not completely abdicated. He sat upright on the thrown and calmly watched this scene.

He had chosen the ninth prince, Qin Feng, as the crown prince and was very satisfied with his performance over the past twenty years. That was why he had decided to abdicate in advance and pass the position to Qin Feng to succeed as the new emperor.

However, he would not stop the imperial experts from usurping the throne. This was also a test for the crown prince.

Before he had become the emperor, he had encountered more obstacles than the crown prince. On the other hand, nothing happened during his coronation ceremony.

The old emperor believed that if the crown prince successfully passed this trial, it would be a great lesson for him.

Qin Feng naturally knew his father saw this problem as a test, so he didn’t ask for his help.

His third uncle and the others were also aware of the fact, so they dared to make a move and usurp the throne.

“Guyus, who will be the new emperor if Feng abdicates?” his eighth uncle suddenly said.
