Azure Emperor: My Son Lu Chen Has Emperor's Bearing!

Lu Chen let out a cold laugh inwardly at the mention of the four great sects and two great academies.

According to the Reversal System, in the future, the four great sects and two great academies would collude with the Second and Seventh Princes to bring disaster upon the Great Qian, throwing it into chaos.

Lu Chen harbored no good feelings towards these parasites feeding off the Great Qian!

"Hmph, let the Eleventh Prince continue his test for now!"

At this moment, before Lu Chen could speak, Emperor Qing let out a cold snort.

Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended, blanketing the area. The people from the four great sects and two great academies turned pale, not daring to utter a word.

These individuals from the academies and sects were at least at the Emperor Realm, with several at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm. Yet, Emperor Qing's single utterance had them trembling in fear.

Even Lu Chen, a Land Immortal, felt his heart tremble from Emperor Qing's oppressive aura.

Then, Lu Chen looked at Emperor Qing in disbelief.

He had assumed Emperor Qing was at the Land Immortal realm.

And he himself was also at the Land Immortal realm.

However, the aura from his father, the Emperor, had actually made him tremble with fear!

How was this possible? If that were the case, there could only be one explanation.

Emperor Qing was playing the fool, and his cultivation realm very likely surpassed that of a Land Immortal!

Lu Chen let out a long breath.

His father was definitely not simple.

"Your Highness, this is the Exquisite Bronze Mirror, a treasure for testing Spiritual Roots. When it shines upon someone, the mirror will emit light, ranging from one to nine colors, corresponding to one to nine-colored Spiritual Roots!"

At this moment, Daoist Kummu produced a mystical bronze mirror and spoke.

Lu Chen nodded upon hearing this.

Then, he reached out and took the Exquisite Bronze Mirror.

Lowering his head, Lu Chen held the mirror and looked at himself. In that instant, the Exquisite Bronze Mirror erupted with dazzling nine-colored light.

Almost instantaneously, this nine-colored light enveloped the entire Dragon Hatchling Hall!

Under this nine-colored radiance, everyone except Lu Chen, including Emperor Qing, widened their eyes in utter astonishment, their faces frozen in shock.

Bang...

A crisp sound echoed as the elder from the Taixu Sword Sect was so startled that he fell onto the ground.

"This... this is a Nine-Colored Spirit Root! It's only spoken of in legends, but no one has ever actually obtained one!"

The Dean of Haoran Academy, upon witnessing this, spoke with a hoarse, disbelieving voice.

At this moment, everyone present looked at Lu Chen with expressions of utter disbelief.

"With the Supreme Sword Body and a Nine-Colored Spirit Root, my son Lu Chen possesses the bearing of an Emperor!"

After his initial shock, Emperor Qing's face lit up with immense joy. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Lu Chen, unable to contain his excitement.

At this moment, Emperor Qing wished he could cradle Lu Chen in his arms.

Such talent was truly terrifying.

With the Supreme Sword Body and nine-colored comprehension, the Land Immortal realm was merely a starting point for Lu Chen.

The Heavenly Human Realm beyond the Land Immortal realm was the true beginning!

"Your Majesty!"

At this point, the Dean of Haoran Academy suddenly knelt before Emperor Qing with a thud, crying hysterically.

"I implore you, allow the Eleventh Prince to join my Haoran Academy. If he joins, our academy is willing to bestow our treasured heirloom, the Heaven-grade Mid-tier Supreme Treasure, the Haoran Book, upon him. All the scholars of Haoran Academy are willing to join the Divine Dynasty and serve Your Majesty!"

The Dean of Haoran Academy was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a righteous and dignified appearance.

But now, he knelt at Emperor Qing's feet, weeping uncontrollably.

Hearing this, the people from Jishi Academy and the four great sects trembled, their expressions incredibly complex as they looked at the Dean of Haoran Academy.

"Shameless old fool!"

The old Dean of Jishi Academy and the members of the four great sects cursed inwardly.

To snatch a disciple, they were willing to give away their entire academy?

Was it worth it?

The Supreme Sword Body, the pinnacle of sword cultivation, and a Nine-Colored Spirit Root...

It seemed... it was somewhat worth it!

The next moment, the members of the four great sects and Jishi Academy all knelt uniformly before Emperor Qing, weeping.

"Your Majesty, if you would allow the Eleventh Prince to join my Taixu Sword..."

"Your Majesty, my Tanyang Sect is willing..."

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, all six of them were weeping bitterly on the scene, their wails filling the air.

Whether it was Lu Chen or Daoist Kummu, they were both dumbfounded seeing this.

What the hell, these guys are all experts at the Emperor Realm and Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, do they have to be so shameless!

Lu Chen's lips twitched, feeling a bit speechless.

But the Azure Emperor, upon seeing this, revealed a brilliant and satisfied smile.

"You stubborn old fools, I suppressed you with absolute power, yet you all paid lip service while constantly making underhanded moves in secret."

"Now, my son has done nothing, merely displayed a sliver of his talent."

"And you old fogies are willing to hand over your entire sects, teachings, and academies."

"Truly laughable!"

"My lords, there is only one test left in the talent assessment: the comprehension test. What if my imperial son's comprehension is incredibly poor? Let's discuss matters after the comprehension test," the Azure Emperor said expressionlessly.

The six people kneeling on the ground, weeping, were stunned. Then, they slowly calmed down, wiping the tears and snot they had forcibly produced, and stood up in a sorry state.

At this point, Daoist Kummu let out a long sigh and looked at Lu Chen.

"Your Highness, next is the comprehension test. It's commonly assessed using the Yellow-grade cultivation method, Xuan Yuan Technique. The Xuan Yuan Technique has nine layers. The first layer is particularly simple; people with decent comprehension usually only need three hours to grasp it, while those with exceptional comprehension only need an hour..."

"Hold on!"

Before Daoist Kummu could finish speaking, the Azure Emperor's voice cut him off from the side.

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Daoist Kummu immediately fell silent and respectfully cupped his hands towards the Azure Emperor.

"We won't use the Xuan Yuan Technique for the test. We'll use the imperial family's inherited cultivation method, the Heaven-grade Top-tier cultivation method, the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art!" the Azure Emperor declared.

As his words fell, everyone present, except for Lu Chen, including Daoist Kummu and the people from the four great sects and two academies, showed expressions of shock.

The Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art, a Heaven-grade Top-tier cultivation method!

It was known that this was the foundation of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty's supremacy in the Eastern Cang Region, and this cultivation method was only passed down among the Great Qian's past emperors!

The Azure Emperor was directly having Lu Chen test his comprehension with the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art.

This sent an extremely definitive signal.

It meant that the Azure Emperor had already made his decision regarding his successor, the future Crown Prince.

This person was not the Eldest Prince Lu Ling, who was born of the current Empress and was well-versed in both civil and military affairs, possessing both virtue and talent. Instead, it was the Eleventh Prince, Lu Chen, who had always been obscure and was only six years old now!
