Saint King, Heavenly Dust Divine General!

"Eleventh Prince, His Majesty has decreed that the Eleventh Prince is to attend this morning's court session!"

Outside Tianchen Hall, a eunuch with a voice like a duck's quack shouted sharply.

Lu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Doesn't the morning court start at four? Why am I only being notified at four-thirty?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the eunuch.

"Replying to Your Highness, His Majesty said you could eat for half an hour and rest well!"

"..."

Lu Chen was speechless upon hearing this.

His own father emperor. He was quite considerate.

Inside the Golden Palace Hall, at this moment, the civil and military officials were arguing fiercely.

The topic of discussion was the upcoming Eastern Cang Blood Grinding.

This would be a war between nations that would sweep across the entire Eastern Cang.

And Great Qian, as the strongest nation in the Eastern Cang Region, would face the siege of many neighboring countries, all of which would have the backing of Holy Lands and forbidden grounds.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Meanwhile, the Azure Emperor sat on the dragon throne, lightly tapping his fingers, his eyes half-closed as he thoughtfully watched the bickering civil and military officials below.

Some advocated for a head-on confrontation.

Others proposed forming alliances.

And then there were those who suggested ceding territory to sue for peace.

The Azure Emperor looked at the minister who was advocating for ceding territory and suing for peace, a cold killing intent flashing deep within his eyes.

However, just as the entire court was in an uproar, a duck-like voice echoed from outside the Golden Palace Hall.

"The Eleventh Prince has arrived!"

"!!!!"

Following that sharp announcement, the previously noisy Golden Palace Hall instantly fell into dead silence.

The civil and military officials, who had been arguing so animatedly, all wore complex expressions on their faces.

They looked towards the entrance of the Golden Palace Hall.

Yesterday, Lu Chen's actions had left the civil and military officials of Great Qian completely stunned, and then stunned again.

A six-year-old child had simultaneously defeated two experts at the Land Immortal Realm.

And he had refused the invitations of two major Holy Lands.

What kind of terrifying talent was required to achieve such a feat?

At this moment, the civil and military officials all looked fearfully towards the entrance of the Golden Palace Hall.

Then, they saw Lu Chen, who was only about 1.3 meters tall and dressed in a red python robe, swaggering in.

As he walked towards the front of the Golden Palace Hall, he cheerfully greeted the civil and military officials on both sides with a pure and innocent smile.

"Good morning, all uncles and grandpas!"

"Huh, Uncle Luo, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not rest well last night?"

Walking up to Duke of Zhenguo Luo Zhenshan, Lu Chen looked at the dark circles under Luo Zhenshan's eyes with a look of concern.

At this moment, Luo Zhenshan was beaming as he looked at Lu Chen.

Of course, he had dark circles!

Who would have thought that his future son-in-law would be such a monstrous prodigy with such terrifying talent?

Luo Zhenshan had been too excited to sleep all night yesterday.

"Your Highness, thank you for your concern. This old minister is simply too happy."

Luo Zhenshan grinned widely, unable to hide his joy.

He looked at the surrounding civil and military officials with immense pride.

Look! Look!

Can't you all see!

The peerless Heavenly Chosen, the Eleventh Prince, is my future son-in-law, Old Luo.

You trash, go ahead and be jealous in secret.

Who told you that your families weren't as good as mine, that you couldn't give birth to a precious daughter like Little Luo Li.

At this moment, within the Golden Palace Hall, there was one person whose gaze was incredibly complex.

That was the First Prince, Lu Ling.

Of all the princes, he was the only one allowed to attend the morning court.

This fact alone was enough to prove that although the Azure Emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince, he was subtly grooming Lu Ling as his successor.

The civil and military officials, including Lu Ling himself, believed this to be the case.

However, Lu Ling never expected someone like Lu Chen to appear out of nowhere.

Lu Chen's talent filled him with despair.

Then, seeing his father, the Emperor, looking at Lu Chen with such doting affection, Lu Ling suddenly felt that

the position of Crown Prince might not necessarily be his.

But what if it really wasn't his?

Should he fight for it?

Looking at Lu Chen, who had already reached the Land Immortal Realm at the tender age of six, Lu Ling felt a pang of despair.

What the hell am I supposed to fight for? How could I possibly win?

On the dragon throne, the Azure Emperor looked at Lu Chen. A smile immediately appeared on his previously impassive face. Then, deep within his eyes, the shock was still undeniable.

He had broken through five minor realms in one night.

He couldn't comprehend it.

"Chen'er, have breakfast with me later, alright?"

The Azure Emperor spoke instinctively.

"Okay, Father Emperor!"

Lu Chen nodded happily upon hearing this.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor gave a look to the head eunuch beside him, Little Egg.

"Announce it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Little Egg, holding an imperial decree, approached Lu Chen.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials were stunned.

What was happening?

Could it be that they were about to...

Determine the Crown Prince!

At that moment, this thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of all the civil and military officials.

Lu Ling's face turned pale, and he felt incredibly uneasy. Lu Ling could even hear his own heart pounding.

[By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

My eleventh son, Lu Chen, is virtuous in both civil and military arts, reveres his elders, and cares for the common people. He possesses the demeanor of an ancient sage. Therefore, I hereby confer upon Lu Chen the title of Saint King, bestow upon him a Saint King's mansion within the inner city, and further grant him the title of Heavenly Dust Divine General. He shall be permitted to command thirty thousand of the Great Qian's Heavenly Soldier Guard to protect the safety of the Great Qian's imperial capital, and he shall also have the authority to lead troops into battle!

He shall be rewarded with five thousand Dragon Crystals, one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Crystals, one hundred bottles of the sixth-grade healing elixir, Rejuvenation Pill, and one hundred Heaven Tier demon cores. He may freely access and learn the cultivation methods and divine abilities from the Royal Treasury.

By Imperial Order!]

As the hoarse voice faded, the entire Golden Palace Hall fell into deathly silence.

The civil and military officials and the First Prince, Lu Ling, were all dumbfounded.

What had they just heard?

Enfeoffed as a King at the age of six?

And what kind of King?

A Saint King!

What does Saint mean?

It signifies the highest position!

Very well, very well, he hadn't directly appointed Lu Chen as Crown Prince.

But this was even more excessive than directly appointing him Crown Prince.

What's more, he had been granted military power, directly controlling the Great Qian's most elite army, the Heavenly Soldier Guard? And he could freely wage war and lead troops?

What kind of emperor would grant military power to a prince, and entrust the safety of the imperial capital to Lu Chen?

Unless he had absolute trust and affection, how bold must this emperor be?

If it were just this, it would be fine.

Most importantly, the items bestowed as rewards.

Five thousand Dragon Crystals, one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals?

Such terrifying resources.

Why don't you just give your youngest son the entire Great Qian treasury?

Speaking of the Great Qian treasury, you actually did.

Freely learn any Cultivation Method or Divine Ability from the Great Qian treasury's Scripture Repository without restriction.

You must understand, this Scripture Repository is the collection of Great Qian over tens of thousands of years.

The entire Golden Palace Hall fell silent for several minutes.

At this moment, however, Lu Chen's face revealed a look of surprise and joy.

"Thank you, Father Emperor. Long live Father Emperor!"

Lu Chen exclaimed excitedly.

This was truly because the rewards from the Azure Emperor this time had hit the nail on the head for Lu Chen.
