the ground beneath his feet was writhing, pulling him down with incredible speed.But entering the underground portion, the sense of power is extremely low.A large amount of icy cold is trying to corru...Later, inside the main hall.
The prince, accompanied by his trusted aides, went straight into the main hall.
At this time, the Eternal Emperor sat calmly upon his throne, a serene smile gracing his lips as he looked down at the Crown Prince.
"It seems Father-Emperor already knew I would come to speak with you," the Crown Prince said, clasping his fists and looking directly at the Eternal Emperor.
"Of course, with the prince's current prestige, this emperor wouldn't dare to neglect him." The Eternal Emperor smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's gaze towards the Eternal Emperor shifted slightly, and a smile also appeared on his face.
“Father, since you knew I would come to you, then you must also know about my situation in the giant's nest…” said the Crown Prince.
"Yes, I have heard that the Crown Prince's journey to the Giant Nest was not smooth. It seems he did not ultimately receive the immortal inheritance." The Eternal Emperor sighed here, and said, "What a pity."
"Father Emperor, why sigh This is a great thing for you." The Crown Prince stared intently at the Eternal Emperor, and said.
The Eternal Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at the Crown Prince and asking, "Does the Crown Prince have an opinion of me"
"No, no, no, how could I Father is the Eternal Emperor, the ruler...while I am merely a son. How could I possibly have any objections to my father" The prince shook his head repeatedly, saying.
"Then why have you come to me" The Eternal Emperor's voice had grown low and grave.
The prince's sarcastic tone and manner made him very displeased.
"It's nothing really. I just wanted to tell Father, please don't let minor issues become major ones, creating bigger problems in an attempt to solve current difficulties," the Crown Prince said slowly, "Otherwise, you will surely regret it."
"Bang!"
The Eternal Emperor's face turned ashen, and he slammed his fist on the table with such force that the handle, crafted from an extremely valuable piece of azure gemstone, shattered instantly.
He stood up and walked slowly down the steps, toward the prince.
The prince stood still, as if rooted to the spot.
"You said something quite right just now, as long as I remain Emperor, you will always be my subject, under me!" The Eternal Emperor walked before the Crown Prince, his voice cold as ice, "I am your sovereign, and more importantly, your father."
"But now... you seem to no longer regard me."
"My son would never dare," the crown prince immediately replied, bowing his head.
"Dare you" The Eternal Emperor sneered, "Then kneel before me now!"
Hearing this, the prince's eyes narrowed.
He slowly raised his head, gazing directly into the eyes of his father, His Imperial Majesty.
The Eternal Emperor and the Crown Prince stared at each other, both their eyes filled with endless coldness.
The atmosphere in the main hall became tense.
The confidant standing behind the Crown Prince was now pale as death, his head bowed low, his whole body trembling.
This scene of a father and son confronting each other, absolutely cannot be spread outside!
If this were to get out, the entire Eternal Dynasty would be shaken!
"Kneel" The Eternal Emperor's eyes were as cold as ice as he asked.
The Crown Prince took a step back, shook his head, and clasped his fists together, saying, "If it were any other day, my son would certainly be willing to kneel. But now... I am unwilling."
At hearing this, the Eternal Emperor's anger was ignited completely!
He glared at the prince with bloodshot eyes.
"You..." The Eternal Emperor's breath quickened.
"Your Majesty, remember what I said, you... must be careful in the future."
Having said that, the prince clasped his hands again in salute and turned to leave.
The loyal attendant, seeing the Eternal Emperor standing like a statue in place, immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times before turning to catch up with the prince.
The main hall was deathly silent.
The Eternal Emperor stood still, his face shifting constantly.
"Whoosh!"
A wisp of blue smoke flew out from the inner hall and transformed into a human form beside him.
It was the same masked man from before.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's wings are now hardened. He dares not kneel before you now. If this continues for much longer, he will likely challenge you for power head-on." The masked man spoke in a calm and collected tone, "Therefore, I believe Your Majesty should no longer be soft-hearted."
The Eternal Emperor stood motionless, his face dark as night, not uttering a word.
"The Celestial Palace spared no effort in cultivating the prince, attending to every detail. The masked man continued, "And the prince's cultivation progress directly impacts the entire imperial city... Therefore, Your Majesty should know what the Celestial Palace's true purpose is."
"A first-rate immortal sect that shakes the four seas... Why would it be interested in our half-secular dynasty! Why!" The Eternal Emperor turned his head, glaring at the masked man, gritting his teeth and asking.
"As long as there are humans, they will be driven by profit. This is an unchanging law that has existed for millions of years," the masked man said calmly. "Why would Tiangong attack the Eternal Dynasty Naturally, it's for more profit. There's no need to think about anything else."
"Your Majesty should be more concerned with… the Crown Prince is only half a step away from achieving Transcendence."
"If the Crown Prince truly reaches the Transcendent Realm, then it will be too late. Your Majesty's position... would inevitably be lost."
The last sentence, if said by anyone else, would be impossible and unthinkable.
But the masked man said it with an air of extreme calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.
And this sentence also caused the eternally restrained Eternal Emperor's expression to become extremely ferocious.
"Ah..."
The Eternal Emperor's fury blazed, his forehead contorted with veins throbbing angrily, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.
"Boom!"
The main hall's floor was trampled and collapsing, the entire hall trembling.
The masked man still stood aside, seemingly unaffected by the immense pressure emanating from the Transcendent Realm powerhouse.
"This is your fault! This is all your fault!" The Eternal Emperor's voice was filled with fury, laced with a venomous hatred.
In fact, he has always been optimistic about the Crown Prince, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this second son as the heir apparent.
The reason why Tiangong would recruit the Prince is still because of his existence!
Since entering the palace, the prince's growth far exceeded his expectations.
>Especially after being accepted as a direct disciple by Zhizun. Everything was different.<
The prince quickly walked to his opposite side, becoming a thorn in his eye!
And now, the Crown Prince's closeness with the Celestial Palace far exceeds that with him, and even the Eternal Imperial Dynasty!
Once the crown prince ascends to power, he will lose more than just the imperial throne... He will also lose the eternal dynasty that has been passed down through his family for generations!
He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. He could not let the Eternal Dynasty fall into the hands of another sect, even if it were a first-class Immortal Sect!
“I have decided... I will never allow the prince to take this position.” The Eternal Emperor turned his head, looking at the masked man, and said word by word.
"Your Majesty made the right decision," the masked man nodded. "And now... please follow my every plan, Your Majesty."
"What is your plan" the Eternal Emperor narrowed his eyes, asked.
The man's eyes, the only part of his face exposed by the mask, flashed with a strange light. He spoke in a calm and measured tone: "The specifics of the plan can be discussed later, but I can tell Your Majesty that the most crucial person involved... is Fang Yu, the current head of the Huazhi Sect."轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
