Chapter 59: The Minister

When Qin Feng had just ascended the throne, Qin Chen had protected his ninth brother and had never left. He had always been in Qin City with Lord Dragon, silently intimidating all those who were against his brother.

Among them, there were also some spies from other immortal divine dynasties who wanted to obtain information and arrange for some spies to enter the dynasty.

To the various royal families, this was a common method. Within every dynasty, there were spies from other dynasties that silently monitored everything. Even the most powerful emperor couldn’t completely resolve all the hidden dangers because they were hidden too deeply.

Moreover, the imperial capital was open to the public, and anyone could enter. It was truly too difficult to thoroughly get rid of them.

The emperor didn’t mind, saying, “It’s good that there are spies. Otherwise, the spies we’ve placed in the other immortal divine dynasties will also be killed if we eliminate all of them.”

This was an unspoken rule for the immortal divine dynasties. Each of them had arranged for their own spies to enter and monitor each other. On the other hand, they would do anything to each other’s spices.

Once the Great Qin Dynasty killed the species, the other immortal dynasties would also break this unspoken rule and eliminate theirs.

During this period of time, Qin Chen stayed in the Imperial City. However, there was something else he needed to do.

Now, his mother, Concubine Yang, had been released from the Cold Palace by the new emperor, Qin Feng. Naturally, she had become a queen dowager.

After Concubine Yang was released, her expression was calm, as if being locked up in the cold Palace for decades was not worth mentioning to her.

However, after being locked up for so many years, this legendary concubine who dared to fight against the former empress back then had actually reached Qiyao Realm. It was truly shocking.

Qin Chen did not let her know who he was because he did not feel much affection when he saw Concubine Yang. After all, he was just a soul that had transmigrated from the earth. Moreover, his mother in this world had treated him somewhat distantly since he was a mortal, so he did not feel connected with her.

Qin Chen was a great Venerable, which meant Concubine Yang couldn’t sense that he was here.

“Seventeenth brother, are you sure you don’t want to return to the imperial family?”

The emperor hoped to restore Qin Chen’s royal status and bring him back to the Great Qin Dynasty.

In his opinion, his seventeenth brother, Qin Chen, was from the Great Qin Dynasty. He should not stay in the Taiyi Holy Land. Instead, he should return and rule the Great Qin Dynasty with him.

However, Qin Chen directly rejected him.

He enjoyed his current peaceful and carefree life. Moreover, he had no interest in the position of the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, nor did he want to restore his status as a member of the royal family. There was nothing to complain about his lifestyle.

Although the emperor wanted Qin Chen to return, Qin Chen was very determined. He could only give up and sigh, but he was also angry at the actions of the imperial family in the past. They had kicked a Bahunag Realm Great Venerable, like his seventeenth brother, out of the great Qin imperial family. Otherwise, with the help of his seventeenth brother, he could have led the Great Qin Dynasty to a golden age.

His seventeenth brother had become a great Venerable at a young age, so he knew that he would enter Juitian Realm and become a Sage one day.

Until then, a young and powerful Saint would be protecting the Great Qin Dynasty. In this way, they would definitely become the number one among the four immortal divine dynasties under the hands of the two brothers. At least no immortal divine dynasty had a Juitian Realm Sage on the surface.

The emperor had no choice but announced that Elder King was to be the Great Qin Dynasty’s minister.

In the Great Qin Dynasty, the minister was the second in line to the emperor, so there was no one above him but the emperor. He could even remove any officials at will and challenge the emperor.

Undoubtedly, the eighth uncle and all the court officials had first opposed this move because Qin Chen would have too much power.

The eighth uncle believed that after a powerful cultivator like Elder King was assigned to be the minister, he might overthrow the emperor and take the position.

However, the emperor was very determined and ignored his opposition.

Only the emperor knew that if Qin Chen had wanted to, the position of the emperor would have belonged to him. The one sitting on the throne could have been him.

The position of the minister could be considered as compensation.

Qin Chen smiled wryly after receiving the news, but there was nothing he could do. He could only accept the offer. Of course, it was also because although the minister was powerful, he did not need to go to court.

This was similar to the position of Elder King in Taiyi Holy Land, but this position was far superior in all aspects.

On the other hand, he also understood that his ninth brother was also using his deterrent force to stabilize the imperial power.

Moreover, even Lord Dragon was conferred the title of imperial guardian Venerable by the emperor, and the five great demon kings of the demon Valley became imperial guardian Kings.

During his stay in the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Chen was able to read the Great Qin royal family’s Book of Shihuang.

This was the ultimate imperial sutra created by Emperor Shi, Qin Shihuang, which was extremely profound and contained the great path of controlling the world. What was more, it also contained Emperor Shi’s dragon qi, known as the most powerful attacking technique.

The imperial sutra worked for Qin Chen, but it was not that effective. He mainly cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, which activated his Chaotic Holy Body, pushed it to a higher level, released the great path in him, and eventually helped him become stronger.

On the other hand, comprehending the imperial sutra of Emperor Shi would also have a great effect on himself.

He cultivated Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. After thoroughly absorbing the sutra, he was able to make this technique even more powerful.

Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge divided into four stages: beginner, intermediate, master, and ultimate. These four stages represented the mastery of the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge.

The yellow, black, earth, heaven, grade, black, earth, heaven, king, Venerable, Sage-level, and other levels of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge were also divided in this way.

However, at Qin Chen’s current level, he did not care too much about supernormal knowledge below the emperor grade.

Qin Chen had only the cultivated emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, to the primer level. After all, he had only cultivated it for a short period of time. Moreover, it was supernormal knowledge created by a great ancient emperor and was extremely profound. He had to rely on the dragon spirit to reach the intermediate level.

After a period of cultivation, he gradually improved his skill of supernormal knowledge and reached the master level.

Every time one’s mastery of a divine ability increased to a higher level, the power that one could display would also increase to a higher level.

At the master level, he could demonstrate Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon even better. With Qin Chen’s cultivation as a great venerate and his Chaotic Holy Body, he could deal with the immortals. He even believed that by using the master level of Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, he might be able to kill a Sage.

However, Qin Chen had never really met any Juitian Realm Sage. The only one he had met was the Sage-level Demon King from Taiyi Holy Land, which was not the real one. Therefore, he did not clearly know how capable a Juitian Realm Sage could be.

In the later stages of cultivation, the gap would grow bigger.

It was said that a strand of hair from a Juitian Realm Sage could destroy the earth and behead any King.

One day, Qin Chen wandered around in boredom and accidentally came to a desolate ancient palace in the imperial city.

The ancient hall was mysterious and distant. Other than the guards, there was no one else.

The ancient hall seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

However, when he passed by this place, the system notified him that it had an unusually strong divinity, which made him stop and pay attention to it.
