Chapter 27: Ling Tian’s Exploding Mentality, The Secret Realm Opens!
“Lianyou sister?! Yes, she must be worried about me, so she came to find me.”
“The last time she gave me the pill in the dungeon, I was fortunate to have her.”
In the crowd of onlookers, Ling Tian had been there all along. At first, when he saw Zi Lianyou, his heart was filled with comfort and happiness!
He could forget about Su Xuení, that sycophantic woman. At least his pure-hearted sister Lianyou stood by him.
But then he saw the scene where the elder of Ziyou Holy Land was killed making Zi Lianyou tearful and heartbroken.
Ling Tian clenched his fists and thought, “Lianyou, I don’t have the strength to avenge you right now. But in the future, I will protect you from anyone who tries to harm you!”
Her pure nature and gratitude had made Zi Lianyou the last cherished part of Ling Tian’s heart. Her beautiful purple dress, her ethereal beauty, made him feel warm.
But then Lin Qi’an arrived, driving his carriage, killing the Southern Python Guards with dominance, stealing the spotlight.
All of a sudden, the mountains and valleys echoed with praise and admiration.
“The Crown Prince is truly fortunate! First, he won over the Tianchi Saintess, and now it seems he’s also caught the eye of the Ziyou Saintess. I’m so envious!”
“Hahaha, don’t talk nonsense. Being noticed by the Crown Prince is a blessing for the Saintess.”
“I’d love to be noticed, but do I have that qualification?”
“Shut up!” In the crowd, Ling Tian clenched his fists and roared in anger, his eyes bloodshot.
His chest was filled with rage, his heart brimming with resentment. His chiseled face was full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour everyone alive!
“Are you crazy? What’s it to you…”
“Yeah, you like the Ziyou Saintess? Then you have to have that ability! What’s the use of staring at her from afar and fantasizing? Ugh!”
Hearing the sarcastic ridicule, Ling Tian clenched his fists tighter, glaring at the distant white figure.
‘One day, I’ll slap you all in the face!’
What Ling Tian wants will ultimately be his! He was imagining a future where he would rise again and be admired by everyone.
Suddenly, he saw his beloved Lianyou sister, secretly glancing at that Crown Prince and her gaze was passionate and her demeanor was shy.
She looked like a young girl experiencing her first crush making Ling Tian’s mentality instantly explode!
‘How could this be! Lianyou, have you also been bewitched by Lin Qi’an?’
“Damn it! Don’t you know that I and that damn Crown Prince are irreconcilable enemies?” Ling Tian, consumed by anger, had his face twisted in fury, his entire body exuding an even more murderous aura.
“Good… good! You’ve all betrayed me, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
…………
【Ding! Ling Tian has developed resentment towards Zi Lianyou, luck value -50, host villain points +700】
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Qi’an laughed as he had deliberately approached Zi Lianyou, soothing her with kind words, just to provoke Ling Tian.
‘Is it really that easy to get angry? Ah, perhaps my methods are too insidious. It seems I was born to be a villain.’
The Southern Python Guards were killed off. All the holy lands, sects, imperial families, and rogue cultivators. All had gained the right to enter the mountains and approach the secret realm.
“The spiritual energy is so dense here; this must be a secret realm above the Sovereign realm…”
“There must be countless treasures and divine techniques inside!”
“Nanyue wanted to monopolize the secret realm, but fortunately, the Crown Prince is here!”
Various sects and holy lands were restless, their eyes filled with greed as they looked at the entrance to the secret realm.
At this moment, a revered, white-haired elder with an immortal aura stood out and bowed and saluted Lin Qi’an.
“Crown Prince, how we explore the secret realm is entirely up to your distribution!”
“That’s right, we’ll do as the Crown Prince says!”
“Listen to the Crown Prince!”
Many sect masters and lords echoed, looking to Lin Qi’an as their leader. Without Lin Qi’an, they wouldn’t even have the qualification to touch the secret realm. Naturally, they had to give him enough face now.
“Since the secret realm has appeared, it is natural for all to explore. If you want to enter, you can do so once it opens.” Lin Qi’an said loudly.
Hearing this, the various sects and holy lands were overjoyed. The Crown Prince had the strength and qualification to monopolize the secret realm, yet he was willing to share it.
Truly, a broad-minded person! Compared to Nanyue, he was far more magnanimous. It seemed that while the Crown Prince was arrogant and domineering, he was also reasonable.
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed. In the sky, the secret realm gate, enveloped in white light, was finally fully revealed to everyone.
The restrictions on the gate disappeared, and dense spiritual energy flowed out like water.
“The Crown Prince is magnanimous; we shall go ahead and explore. If we find any treasures, we will surely present them!”
“The Yandao Sect will pave the way for the Crown Prince!”
“The Hongzhao Sect, listen to my order. Go clear the secret realm beasts for the Crown Prince!”
Various sects and holy lands moved towards the secret realm entrance. Before departing, they loudly declared that it was all for the Crown Prince.
For a while, countless beams of light filled the mountains, as countless people entered the secret realm gate.
Among them was Ling Tian.
“Good job, Lin Qi’an. The biggest mistake of your life was letting me into this secret realm! If you dare enter, this place will be your burial ground!”
Naturally, not everyone could enter the secret realm. According to the tests, only cultivators at the Heaven Dominion Realm and below could enter.
Stronger cultivators would be repelled by the secret realm, and if great experts forced their way in, it would cause the secret realm to collapse.
“Crown Prince, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you into the secret realm.” From the void came Aunt You’s voice.
“No problem,” Lin Qi’an smiled and shook his head.
He knew these routines very well, having read many novels! Limiting the upper limit of cultivation was meant to allow the protagonist to show off.
Ling Tian was likely at the Heaven Ascendant Realm, capable of killing Heaven Dominion Realm experts. This was his stage to shine!
“Crown Prince, this secret realm seems to be fire-attribute.” A subordinate who went to investigate reported back.
“Fire-attribute?”
Another advantage for Ling Tian?
He possessed the Nine Yang Divine Technique, which contained terrifying Divine Fire. This secret realm was practically tailor-made for him!
‘Very well, hehe… My treasure-seeking mouse, you better not disappoint.’
