That Imperial Scion Has the Aptitude of a Great Emperor
The Five Continents Domain.
A void somewhere.
Lu Changzhi slowly got up from the recliner and stretched.
"It took much longer than expected."
Ahead, in the void, the intensity of the fluctuations grew stronger.
Even with the naked eye, some changes that are different from the original can be noticed at this time.
In Lu Changzhi's hand, the eight Unsealing Key were constantly emitting strange movements and glowing, guiding the way forward like a signpost.
The Longevity Battlefield is finally about to begin.
Misty Clear Realm.
The Withering and Flourishing Sect.
Xiao Qian stood before an ancient and weathered building.
The scenery on both sides of the building is distinct: one side is lush and green, while the other is withered and decaying wood. Although there are no special formations, artifacts, or buildings on either side, there is a unique sense of the extraordinary.
"Xiao Qian, what urgent matter has occurred inside the sect that made you decide to come and find me?"
A moment later, an aged voice came from inside the building.
Xiao Qian's expression changed, and he immediately bowed and said:
"Sect Master, Xiao Qian's decision to disrupt your cultivation is related to the Five Continents Lower Domain."
"The Five Continents Lower Domain." The voice pondered for a moment, then said:
"Is it related to that previous Heavenly Dao phenomenon?"
"Perhaps not, but it might indeed be related to that matter," Xiao Qian.
"Recently, we have been working on reviving the Five Continents Lower Domain, but an anomaly has occurred. Someone in the lower realms is able to reverse the transmission of messages by using the Unsealing Key. I followed the clues and went there myself, but I encountered a powerful figure."
As he spoke, Xiao Qian took out the token he had used earlier.
A slight fluctuation of energy suddenly emanated from within the building.
Brush.
The next moment, an old man appeared outside the building.
He stood before the token, his eyes fixed on it, and said:
What did they say?
Xiao Qian thought for a moment, then said exactly as stated:
What they told me was, 'Don't get too involved in things here.'
That's it?
"And if anything goes wrong and needs to be explained, is this enough?"
The old man remained silent, lost in thought.
Xiao Qian spoke up, tentatively asking:
"Sect Leader, what do you think of this matter...?"
To be honest, he also couldn't quite understand it.
The reason those domains are called lower domains is mainly due to the overall growth environment and the relative scarcity of resources, coupled with the fact that the initial stages of cultivation are in a backward state.
If the other party belongs to that faction, what is their purpose in traveling to the Five Continents Lower Domain?
Is the Unsealing Key related to the so-called "Longevity Battlefield"?
With their power, the other side couldn't possibly be unaware that the so-called Longevity Battlefield was nothing more than a facade.
Of course, more importantly, with his strength, he had seen it back then: the one hiding in the shadows, quietly putting away the Unsealing Key, still looked almost like a teenager.
I know what you want to know.
The old man spoke slowly, offering a reminder:
"Those domains are not necessarily backward."
"You should be able to understand these things."
Xiao Qian nodded and said nothing more.
If you can't understand it, you just can't understand it; sometimes it's not something that can be suddenly understood in just a sentence or two.
At this moment, the old man changed the subject and said:
"That quasi-emperor prince, who caused a sensation upon his birth, has not shown his face in all these years."
Upon hearing this, even Xiao Qian, a man of considerable status and experience, gaped, staring at the old man in disbelief.
"Sect Master, you don't actually think he's that Imperial Prince, do you?"
The old man remained silent.
Xiao Qian shook his head repeatedly:
"This is truly bizarre. If it were just a talented descendant from their clan, I could accept it, but the Imperial Prince... this..."
It wasn't that he was overreacting, but rather that it was utterly unbelievable.
In the Misty Clear Realm, there are ancient clans that have been passed down from the very past. They have a long history, deep roots, and extensive branches. In the long process of development, they have formed their own system and can continue to develop even without external forces.
There are also imperial clans, whose past history has seen a great emperor who changed the bloodline of their descendants, allowing it to continue to this day. Such forces may not be as numerous as the ancient clans in terms of history and heritage, but they have greater potential for future development.
Once you have a bloodline, its ability to bring benefits will last from beginning to end.
The bloodline of the strong will one day disappear, but before it is completely wiped out, there is still a possibility of a brief resurgence, allowing this bloodline to have the potential to shine again.
Besides these two types of forces, there is another type: the ancient imperial clans that combine the strengths of both. A force that can obtain this title is not simply one that has produced an Emperor Realm, but rather many.
Although it doesn't have as many Emperor Realm as it does now, with such a past, the mutual influence makes its size and overall strength considerable.
It can be said that the imperial clans and the ancient clans can be considered to be in the same category, while the ancient imperial clans are in a completely different category.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's one of the highest-ranking forces in the Misty Clear Realm.
The ancient imperial clans, there are only two in the entire Misty Clear Realm, like twin peaks standing side by side.
This token now belongs to one of the two ancient imperial clans, and the one that is most prominent.
When the imperial prince of their clan was born, extraordinary phenomena occurred, and it is said that his father exclaimed with joy, "My son has the Aptitude of a Great Emperor!"
In comparison, his Withering and Flourishing Sect could only barely be considered an imperial clan, and even that was somewhat undeserved, because the bloodline of that great emperor was almost exhausted.
The two sides are not on equal footing at all.
It could even be said that if it were the imperial son of that ancient imperial clan, and he needed something from here, he wouldn't need to sneak around; he could just ask for it directly.
At this moment, the sect leader spoke, pulling Xiao Qian back to reality:
"I actually investigated the strange phenomena in the Five Continents Lower Domain that time."
"Um?"
Xiao Qian was slightly taken aback, staring at the sect leader:
"You investigated as well? What was the result?"
The sect leader sighed softly, looked at Xiao Qian, and said:
"In the path of cultivation, reaching this stage makes any further understanding or breakthrough as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Xiao Qian instantly understood what the other party meant.
The sect leader had previously gone into seclusion, which may have been due to some insights he gained, and he sought a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Now that you've said that, it's probably not a matter of seclusion.
What else requires seclusion?
He already knew the answer in his heart.
Healing wounds.
At that moment, Xiao Qian said nothing more, only a look of deep emotion on his face.
"Of course, this is just my feeling."
The old man spoke, glancing at the token again, and said:
"However, even if this is not true, there are few in this world who would dare to use the power of the ancient imperial clan, so this might be an opportunity."
After a pause, the old man looked at Xiao Qian and asked:
"There's still a lot of revival energy left in that Longevity Battlefield... Never mind, fill it up for him, put it in a basin, and if he needs it, he can just take it away."
