This Outfit Suits You Very Well, Put It On!

The Third Prince was in great distress, restless and unable to calm down in his residence.

He's been Immortal Cultivation for years in his quest for the throne.

Now it's a critical moment; he clearly had that position, but now he has to back down.

He wished Zhang Yang were right in front of him so he could ask him for advice on what to do next.

In reality, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince were all extremely anxious at this moment.

They had waited all these years, and although their father was not dead, he was about to abdicate.

The princes all desperately wanted to ascend the throne, so they fought fiercely behind the scenes.

What surprised them even more was that the Third Prince had also emerged to vie for the throne.

They were terrified; what could they possibly use to compete with the Third Junior Brother?

This Third Junior Brother is so unfair! He's already Immortal Cultivation, why is he still vying for the throne?

A grueling night has passed.

The morning court session began as scheduled the following day.

Countless ministers, heavy with worry, returned to the palace.

This time, everyone qualified to enter the hall came.

Even several princes were invited.

The first thing to do at the morning court session was to revisit an old topic: the abdication of the emperor and the ascension of the new emperor.

Right from the start, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince charged forward bravely, demonstrating their wisdom, their leadership of the Cloud Mountain Empire, and their unity and friendship.

The Third Prince, seeing his three brothers displaying their bravery, wished he could rush up as well.

However, he kept his principle firmly in mind: No rush!

He stood to the side, watching the show with a smile, but in reality, he had already been making countless plans in his mind.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Emperor Li Shiqing snorted coldly, signaling everyone to shut up, then looked at the Third Prince, "Third Junior Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Father, I am an Immortal Cultivation. You are discussing the succession, which has nothing to do with me!" the Third Prince said with a forced smile. "If there is a rebellion anywhere that requires my intervention, that is my business!"

After the Third Prince spoke, all the hostility the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Third Prince harbored towards him vanished, and they all turned to look at each other with hostile eyes.

In their eyes, these two guys were their enemies!

Those who supported the Third Prince wore bitter smiles on their faces.

Conversely, those who supported the other princes also turned their hostile gazes toward the other royal factions.

In their view, the Third Prince's faction was nothing to fear!

Li Shiqing glanced at his three sons vying for the throne, then at the Third Prince, and after considering many things, slowly stood up and solemnly declared, "After careful consideration, I have decided to abdicate the throne to the Third Prince!"

Upon hearing this, all the court officials were dumbfounded.

The princes were all completely dumbfounded.

In fact, even the Third Prince was dumbfounded.

They were all fighting over it, and you wouldn't give me anything... I didn't fight or grab anything, and you gave it to me?

"Father, why do you do this?" The Crown Prince looked at Li Shiqing with resentment. "The Third Junior Brother has already Immortal Cultivation! If you let him ascend the throne, won't you be harming him? He is our brother, how can we harm him?"

The Third Prince steeled himself again and hurriedly said, "Father, yes, I Immortal Cultivation, haven't you harmed your son!"

He admired Zhang Yang more and more, thinking that Zhang Yang's teaching was too amazing, so he withdrew again.

The second and fourth princes also hurriedly shouted, "Father, we can't let the Third Junior Brother get hurt!"

The Grand Tutor and the Minister of Personnel both advised that the Third Prince had already Immortal Cultivation and should absolutely not succeed to the throne.

"Shut up, all of you!" Li Shiqing roared, pointing at his sons. "Look at you all! Fighting like cats and dogs over such a trivial matter... Why don't you learn from the Third Junior Brother and do your best for this empire instead of jumping around here?"

I have investigated thoroughly. Even if the Third Junior Brother is Immortal Cultivation, as long as he has not entered the Golden Core Realm and has not truly embarked on the path to Longevity, he will not be in danger of Heavenly Retribution.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the Third Junior Brother succeeding to the throne!

He looked at his court officials and said coldly, "And you all, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. My mind is made up now. Anyone who speaks out again will be punished for disobedience!"

He realized what was happening.

In his view, if his sons continued to fight over the throne, the Cloud Mountain Empire would descend into chaos. Whether Imperial Capital. According to Zhang Yang's instructions, if an emperor could not be chosen within ten days, the Cloud Mountain Imperial House would no longer bear the surname Li!

Therefore, rather than letting his sons fight over the throne, it would be better to choose the Third Prince to be emperor.

Firstly, the Third Prince is the strongest, which is why he was able to seize the throne in the shortest amount of time, and also why he was able to go to the Azure Cloud Sect in the shortest amount of time.

Secondly, the Third Prince has no interest in the throne. When the Third Prince is about to enter the Golden Core Realm, it should be easy for the old emperor, who also Immortal Cultivation, to take back the throne.

Besides, if his other sons were to take over, Li Shiqing would have to worry about their safety.

Only if the Third Prince, who has no interest in the throne, ascends to the throne will he not pose a threat to the old emperor's life...

After careful consideration, Li Shiqing chose to establish his Third Prince as emperor.

The Third Prince also realized that his master was right. He finally understood what his master meant: it was indeed possible for someone to force someone into the emperor's throne!

He was overjoyed inside, but outwardly wore a bitter expression as he said, "Father..."

Li Shiqing looked at the Third Prince with a stern expression. "Third Junior Brother, I know you don't want to succeed to the throne. However, this is a critical moment, and you are my son, so you must shoulder this responsibility."

The Third Prince shook his head repeatedly, looking unwilling and reluctant.

The princes standing nearby were furious, wishing they could rush up and beat the Third Prince.

Making you emperor? You think it's like going to the execution ground?

Although they failed to seize the throne, strangely enough, they did not hate the Third Prince at all.

Because they realized that the Third Prince was forced into this situation!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

More than half of the people in the hall knelt down and shouted excitedly.

They were just looking for someone to rely on the Third Prince, but unexpectedly they became royalists?

The Grand Tutor and the others shook their heads bitterly.

They couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

After the important matter of abdication was discussed and settled, the next thing the court officials needed to prepare for was the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

Li Shiqing summoned his sons to the inner palace and said coldly, "A few days ago, the Azure Cloud Sect sent word that the Cloud Mountain Empire must change its emperor, or else the entire royal family of the Cloud Mountain Empire will be slaughtered!"

I know you're not Qi Ingestion, but if you keep arguing like this, can a new emperor be chosen in ten days?

Wouldn't that drag down my entire royal family? Wouldn't it destroy centuries of ancestral heritage, and take your lives with it?

Third Junior Brother, I know you're not Qi Ingestion either, and you don't want to be emperor.

However, we have no power to resist the Azure Cloud Sect and can only accept it.

Therefore, you must sit on this throne!

After you ascend to the throne, you should personally visit the Azure Cloud Sect... As long as it's not too unfair, just agree to it!

We must compromise!

These words are a secret between my son and me, and must not be divulged, otherwise the empire will show signs of instability. After you hear them, keep them to yourselves!

Only then did the princes realize that there were so many hidden details behind this abdication.

However, the Third Prince wasn't worried at all; he went to the Azure Cloud Sect to see his master.

I must properly thank my master on this trip to the Azure Cloud Sect so that his wish can be fulfilled.
