Shocking World War Emperor

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Present World

Xia Jiuyou’s gaze also swept downwards.

When he saw so many cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm, his expression changed slightly.

Clearly, the number of cultivators far exceeded his expectations.

Even some early-stage cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm had come.

"Hmph, no matter how many come, what use is it? With such weak cultivation, you are merely stepping stones. I doubt you can even pass the initial few tests and challenges. Moreover, even if you were to obtain the opportunity to ascend to the Palace Mansion Realm, you wouldn’t be able to grasp it."

Xia Jiuyou snorted coldly.

He was one who ascended to the Palace Mansion Realm within the King’s Relic, so he naturally had the most say in how to ascend to King.

Such opportunities were only within the grasp of cultivators at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

For cultivators of other levels, there was almost no use.

Not to mention, to gain the opportunity to achieve Kingship, one must first overcome a series of tests and challenges.

Even Xia Jiuyou, when reminiscing, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"Move aside!"

Xia Jiuyou commanded.

He then took the lead in descending below.

His landing spot was not at the central area of the Desolate Land but rather a bit towards the south.

The level eight Primordial Pill Realm cultivators who were originally resting there immediately made way.

To offend a King, they had to not care about their lives.

Seeing Xia Jiuyou’s overbearing approach, the multitude of cultivators didn’t dare to express a single word of complaint.

This was a world where strength reigned supreme.

With insufficient strength, you could only be bullied by others.

Ling Chen quickly withdrew his gaze.

And hid among the crowd with Ling Wu.

Here, countless cultivators gathered, naturally including many of the sixth and seventh levels of the Primordial Pill Realm.

For Xia Jiuyou to find Ling Chen among them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, both Ling Chen and Ling Wu had already disguised themselves.

Not long after, a Flying Divine Ship came speeding over from the southeast direction.

Those who appeared were the people from the Great Qin Dynasty.

"It’s our Great Qin Princely Heir and the Crown Prince!"

Many Great Qin cultivators exclaimed in surprise, showing joy on their faces.

With King Qin, a King by their side, they felt confident enough to compete with the Great Xia cultivators.

"King Qin!"

In the crowd, Xia Jiuyou once again soared into the sky and paid his respects to King Qin with a slight gesture.

Xia Biluo followed.

"King Xia!"

King Qin returned the greeting immediately, smiling, "King Xia, you’ve come quite early!"

Xia Jiuyou laughed heartily, "We’ve just arrived, King Qin, your timing is pretty good too! Is this the distinguished Crown Prince of your country?"

The Great Qin Dynasty had not established a Crown Prince before.

It seems now, with the emergence of the King’s Relic imminent, they immediately did so.

"Greetings to King Xia!"

A gentle and elegant purple-robed youth behind King Qin hurriedly paid his respects to Xia Jiuyou.

"Um."

Xia Jiuyou nodded lightly, smiling, "Indeed, a person of extraordinary demeanor, King Qin has good taste indeed!"

King Qin shook his head and smiled, "King Xia flatters me too much, how could Wudi compare to Your Highness Biluo?"

The Crown Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the purple-robed youth, was named Qin Wudi.

He was slightly older than Xia Jiuyou.

While they were talking, two more Flying Divine Ships appeared.

They were the Royals from the Great Zhou and Great Qi Dynasties.

Xia Jiuyou and King Qin began to converse with the two Kings.

Along with the two sovereigns, naturally, there were also the Crown Princes of the two Dynasties.

The Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a brocade-robed youth named Zhou Heng.

The Crown Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty was a red-robed youth named Qi Luan.

Now, among the five major Dynasties, four had already made their presence known.

Ling Chen also looked over at these Princely Heirs.

All these people were of the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Clearly, once inside the King’s Relic, these individuals would be formidable competitors.

Even if Ling Chen simply wished to seek the Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Dew, it might still provoke the enmity of these people.

After all, every treasure within the King’s Relic was incredibly precious.

Even Dan Medicines couldn’t compare to the ones concocted here.

Ling Chen secretly memorized the appearances and auras of these individuals.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did his best to avoid clashing with these fellows.

Two hours later.

The people of the Great Chu Dynasty arrived belatedly.

Of course, the Great Chu Crown Prince also came.

Dressed in a black robe was a young man named Chu Xinghe, who was also a ninth-layer Cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Among the younger generation, the ninth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm was the pinnacle.

What’s more, very few could reach such a level.

Ling Chen spotted some acquaintances.

They were the princely heirs of the eight Great Xia Dynasty noble families.

The highest among these people was also at the late stage of the eighth layer, and none were of the ninth layer level.

Of course, there are no age restrictions to enter the King’s Relic.

As long as one is a Cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm, it is sufficient.

Thus, this time, there were not only the unparalleled geniuses of the younger generation but also the old ninth-layer powerhouses.

Many people have been stuck at the peak of the ninth layer for half their lives.

They hope that here, they could break through the barrier and enter a new realm.

With the arrival of the five Royal Families, the Cultivators once again readjusted their positions.

After all, the five Royal Families should be the most knowledgeable about the matters of the King’s Relic.

The positions they occupied should be the closest spots to the King’s Relic.

Hence, what the other Cultivators needed to do was, taking the Royal Family positions as the core, adjust their own locations.

Zhang Ao and Ling Chen’s group could only again retreat to the south.

Their original position was occupied by a group of eighth-layer Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators.

Even though it would have been easy for Ling Chen to handle them, he still restrained himself for the sake of concealing his identity.

Everything was secondary to entering the King’s Relic.

...

Three days later in the evening.

Although people had been waiting for several days, some for nearly ten days,

no one seemed impatient.

After all, they were all Cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm and possessed great patience.

As night fell,

when everyone had started campfires, drinking, and making merry,

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted.

Immediately afterward, the ground shook.

"What’s happening?"

Countless Cultivators immediately took to the skies, looking down towards the desert below.

They saw the place where they had been originally slowly rising.

Next, a huge sphere emitting a pale yellow glow appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

"Is this the King’s Relic?"

A flash of surprise crossed Ling Chen’s eyes.

From Ji Wuya, he knew that the King’s Relic lay beneath the desert.

When it truly opened, the King’s Relic would ascend from underground.

"The King’s Relic!"

Numerous people exclaimed in shock, their eyes burning with extreme eagerness, staring fixedly at the rising sphere.

A full half hour passed before the colossal pale yellow sphere stopped rising, hanging in the air like a bright moon lifting from a sandy sea.

"Charge!"

Seeing that the King’s Relic had stabilized, many instantly rushed toward the sphere, eager to be the first to enter and seize the initiative.

Zhang Ao and others, upon seeing this, also had their eyes turn red.

"Shall we charge as well?"

Many burst forth with their Spiritual Power, preparing to rush in.

"Wait a moment, it probably won’t be that easy!"

Ling Chen interjected.

How could mere Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators forcefully break into a place that could bring forth a King?

"Bang, bang, bang..."

At that moment, however, some over-eager Cultivators had already reached the edge of the sphere and were immediately repelled by a mysterious force.

Moreover, many Cultivators were sent flying back, spitting blood.
