Chapter 1023 Xuanlian Trial
Chen Qingle's gloomy and depressive words made Shu Han feel helpless.
"You are talking about the battle for the throne of the Xuanlian clan."
Shu Han touched his chin and analyzed: "In the ordinary dynasty, the princes did fight for the throne, but I am very curious how the structure of the royal dynasty appeared in the world of immortality."
"There is not much difference in strength between mortals, and their power is extremely limited. It is very important to stay together for warmth, so dynasties appear. Mortal emperors nominally establish the legitimacy of their rule with their righteousness and bloodline, but in reality they control the army. Establish authority.”
"In the world of cultivation, individual strength varies greatly. Cultivation and realm are the most respected. Controlling thousands of troops and horses is not as good as having an extraordinary realm. For example, in your Xuanlian Dynasty, if someone appears who is far more powerful than the royal family, even if you hold the dynasty Power won’t help.”
Chen Qingle scratched her head after listening to Shu Han's words.
"Fellow Taoist's words are profound, but the strongest people in the Xuanlian Clan are all from the royal family of the Xuanlian Clan. The strongest person in the Xuanlian Clan is my father. There should be no other Xuanlian Clan people who can subvert the royal family."
Shu Han said: "Never mind this, but the battle for the throne is pure nonsense! Since the strongest person in the Xuanlian clan is the emperor, and his realm is linked to his lifespan, his lifespan should be much longer than that of you princes. He is still alive. , how can I let you inherit the throne!"
"Unless he has lived for who knows how many years now and is about to expire."
Chen Qingle scratched her head and said: "My father is in his prime, we are all dead, but my father is still alive."
"Then you fight for a hammer!"
Chen Qingle said: "But my father will soon step down from the throne and go to the upper clan to study."
"The Yumin clan?"
Chen Qingle nodded.
Shu Han thought to himself: Very good, Emperor Xuanlian will enter the eternal hell.
Shu Han patted Chen Qingle on the shoulder and said, "Let the other princes fight for it. Look at your low level of understanding and low level. Isn't it good to live your life as a prince with peace of mind? Why do you have to get involved in this killing field?"
"I want to, but I can't do it."
Chen Qingle said: "The Xuanlian Royal Family rules the twelve branches of the Xuanlian Clan. In order to maintain the permanent rule of the royal family, the reigning emperor must be the strongest person in the Xuanlian Clan. As for how to become the strongest person in the Xuanlian Clan, one must Refine the Xuanlian Clan's ancestral technique, "Xuanlian Heavenly Kung Fu."
Shu Han recalled the terrifying strength of the second prince just now, and thought that it must have been brought about by the "Xuanlian Heavenly Art".
"According to the myths and legends of the Xuanlian tribe, our Xuanlian tribe was originally derived from a strange lotus in the spiritual world. The Xuanlian was composed of twelve different petals and a central lotus stamen. The twelve-petal lotus is There are twelve branches of the Xuanlian Clan, and the center lotus is our royal family.”
"The "Xuanlian Tiangong" was specially developed for the royal bloodline. It allows the royal blood to return to its ancestors, gather the strengths of the other twelve clans, and finally use the most powerful secret technique recorded in the "Xuanlian Tiangong", Xuanlian Heavenly Transformation."
Chen Qingle said with a look of longing: "The power of the Xuanlian Heavenly Transformation is far beyond the imagination of ordinary monks. In the history of our Xuanlian clan, we are the only ones in the history of the Xuanlian clan who successfully integrated the strengths of the clan leaders and became the Xuanlian Under the Xuanlian Heavenly Transformation, the first generation and the seventh generation are also the most powerful periods for our Xuanlian clan.
"The combined body can fight Mahayana, yes, it's very powerful!"
Chen Qingle smiled: "That's natural, but it's too difficult to cultivate the Xuanlian Celestial Transformation. The directors of the twelve branches of Xuanlian are all born in the blood of the bones, and they can't be learned by learning. They can only …”
At this point, Chen Qingle's face turned pale again.
"Swallowed?"
Shu Han added.
Chen Qingle nodded: "Every time, the Xuanlian twelve branches will donate to the royal family the girls with the purest blood of the branch, and give birth to many descendants with the emperor. These princes will have pure royal blood and branch blood at the same time. , followed by the Xuanlian Trial, in which the bloodline was continuously strengthened and the bloodline of other princes was devoured. "
"Sixty or seventy princes will be born in each term, but in the end only one will survive with all the blood of the other princes and become the last prince."
Shu Han touched his chin and said: "I see, I understand. As a prince, you can only devour others or be devoured by others. There is no way out. Cannibalism is so cruel..."
Then Shu Han glanced at Chen Qingle, who looked ashen, shook his head and sighed: "With all due respect, you are going to be swallowed up if you look like this."
Chen Qingle gave a bitter smile: "I don't need to remind you, fellow Taoist, I know it. So I want to seize the last time of my life and do something within my power. There is not much I can do, I can only use my status as a prince to secretly rescue some innocent prisoners of war. ”
Having said this, Shu Han already felt some pity for this cowardly but well-intentioned prince.
"It's quite difficult for you too. I think the second prince's "Xuanlian Heavenly Skill" is at a good level. He must have devoured many of his brothers and sisters."
"Yes, the Xuanlian Trial has been going on so far. There were originally sixty-five princes, but now only nine including me are left."
Shu Han patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You are doing well to survive until now."
Chen Qingle looked like she was crying and smiling.
"How could such a thing happen? I never participated in the Xuanlian Trial from the beginning. Otherwise, with my strength, I would have died in the first round."
Shu Han said in astonishment: "Why don't you participate? Isn't this a good way out!"
"It's not that simple."
Chen Qingle sighed, "I am the first prince in history who did not participate in the Xuanlian Trial. Everyone laughed at me for being cowardly. Not participating does not mean that you can survive."
"Participating in the Xuanlian Trial will have a huge amount of resources allocated, and the winner can also devour the blood of other princes to strengthen himself. So the winner will become stronger and stronger, while I will not get any favor and it will be difficult for my strength to grow. I am now a fish on the chopping board, and the jewel on the crown in the eyes of other princes. Whoever wins in the end has the power to devour me."
"From the moment I announced that I would not participate in the Xuanlian Trial, I was actually a dead man."
At this time, Chen Qingle laughed.
"But this is also a kind of luck. At least I can live longer than the other sixty-four princes. Although I can't live a few more years, it's enough."
Shu Han listened silently.
"What the hell!"
"This is an insult!"
Shu Han immediately retorted: "Give up the right to resist in exchange for a period of survival! What's that! A real man is born between heaven and earth. He would rather die standing than live on his knees! What's more, you can't live on your knees!"
Chen Qingle scratched his head and said: "Well said! It's just... I have no self-confidence since I was a child. I am probably what others call a coward."
Shu Han slapped his head.
If you say you are a coward, then you are hopeless.
