Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Tian Xiu remained quiet. So did Cai Guo. After all, if Liu Feng and Liu Man were going to enter the fray, they would combine for at least two Soul Evolution Stage experts, with the possibility of two more.

If Liu Feng was really going to enter the succession war, would his sect leader really not support him on it?

“Why would you go to the Ancient Realms anyways?” she asked forcefully.

“My stage is there, not here. I am sure that many are aware of my situation. I will have to wait it out, and once my father is done here, I will leave for the ancient realm with him.” Liu Feng said.

“Then why would you even want to be king?” Tian Xiu asked.

“That, I cannot say. It is a secret. But do not worry. Why would I want to be a king? I am a Soul Evolution stage cultivator. There are ways to live the life of a king without being called one. And I wouldn’t even need to care about the lives of anyone while I enjoy that life.” Liu Feng shrugged.

“Your Highness, this is a deal that will never come by. As long as the Young Noble is willing to take the Oath under tribulation, then it is a good idea.” Cai Guo suggested.

Liu Feng looked at Liu Man.

“What is an Oath under tribulation? And how can it give me a heart devil?” he transmitted via divine sense.

“The oath? You basically say that you will do something with the heavens as witness. And if you go back on your word, they person you promised this to might accept it, but the heavens will not tolerate it. You will be bombarded with tribulation until your demise.” Liu Man explained.

“Alright. I don’t intend to remain a king anyway.” Liu Feng just shrugged and nodded. He then looked at the princess.

“Are you willing to take this oath with me, princess? I assure you, it will be for a little time, and the moment that I am gone, you will have absolute control. With me joining your forces, there will be no one else who can stand in your way. Imagine three high ranked Soul Evolution Stage cultivators joining you. That is a power that will double your current faction.” Liu Feng smiled.

“I will need some time to think about it.” Tian Xiu said.

“There are numerous who will agree with my offer once they know that I am willing to take an Oath under tribulation. After all, that is an Oath that I cannot renege upon. Why do you hesitate so much still?” Liu Feng pushed harder.

She looked at Cai Guo, who knew this was something that would never come by again. And then she looked back at Liu Feng.

“Fine. But you take the oath now.” she said.

Liu Feng glanced at Liu Man. He didn’t know how to take this oath. It was all orchestrated by Liu Man.

“Under the great heavens, I vow that I will renege the throne that I ascend in Tiandu to the tenth princess, and if I stay the king for more than a week, let lightning strike me till my demise.” Liu Man transmitted these words to Liu Feng.

“Say them out loud,” he added.

Liu Feng nodded and started speaking with a loud and clear voice.

“Under the great heavens, I, Liu Feng, vow to renege the throne that I ascend in Tiandu to the tenth princess, and if I stay the king for more than a week, let lightning strike me till my demise.”

The moment that these words came out, a thunderclap could be heard up above.

“And now your turn, princess. It is your turn to take a vow. A vow that you will support Liu Feng to become the next king.” Liu Man glared at Tian Xiu.

“I am not someone who goes back on her words.” she harrumphed and took an oath as well.

“Under the heavens, I vow that I will support Liu Feng until he becomes the king!” she said.

Once more, a thunderclap could be heard. The vows were set in lightning.

They looked at each other, and then Cai Guo.

“We are a part of the same faction now, family head. It is a wonderful occurrence, don’t you think? You are almost guaranteed to be on the winning side.” Liu Feng smiled.

“Indeed, Young Noble. Indeed.” Cai Guo was all smiles. No matter how this would work out, the Cai family would probably benefit. As long as either Liu Feng or Tian Xiu succeeded, they would win.

“But what of the Ding family. I heard that they were neutral. Did they not choose a prince yet?” Liu Feng asked.

“The Ding family had closed its doors for a year now. Something happened within that shook the entire family. Many princes and princesses have been turned down at the door, something that has never been done before.” Cai Guo said.

“That is mildly concerning. Oh well, I guess that we have to focus on other powers then. Princess, exactly how many Soul Evolution Stage experts do you have under you? Do not count the Cai family please.” Liu Feng asked.

“It is not a secret. My backer from the palace is my tutor. He is in the third layer of the Soul Evolution Stage. Everyone knows this.” she said, sighing.

“And what of the backers of the second and crown prince? I heard that they were powerful?” Liu Feng asked.

“The second prince is allied with the Hong family. In addition to the three Soul Evolution Stage experts from the Hong family, the second prince also has two Soul Evolution Stage experts from the palace. They are both in the seventh layer.” Tian Xiu said.
