By then, how could his Mei Clan contend?
"Saint Heir, aren’t you leaving?"
Seeing that the people of the Mei Clan had all departed, and only the Saint Heir remained, Ren Changsheng looked at the Saint Heir, speaking indifferently.
"Your Majesty, don’t be in a hurry!"
The Saint Heir flashed a smile, but inwardly he was somewhat vexed. Dammit, he was a mighty half-step Chaotic powerhouse, and now he had to be driven away by Ren Changsheng after entering the chaotic zone.
"Just speak clearly if there’s something you want to say!"
Ren Changsheng said calmly.
The Saint Heir gave an awkward smile. Ren Changsheng was too direct. He had intended to form a closer relationship with Ren Changsheng, but who would have thought Ren Changsheng would be so curt.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, the reason I stayed is precisely because of the Chaos Secret Realm!"
Looking at Ren Changsheng, the Saint Heir spoke with a gleam in his eyes.
"Chaos Secret Realm!"
Ren Changsheng laughed. The man had stayed behind, and Ren Changsheng had already guessed some of it. Whatever could make a strong person like the Saint Heir cage himself certainly wouldn’t be ordinary.
"Your Majesty must also be aware of the matter concerning the Battle of the Proud Heavens, right? According to the news from the Temple, the Battle of the Proud Heavens will take place on the first day of next month. In the Battle of the Proud Heavens, as long as one ranks in the top twenty, there is a chance to join the exploration of the Chaos Secret Realm. In addition, top-tier forces have an extra spot that allows them to go directly to the Chaos Secret Realm!"
Looking at Ren Changsheng, the Saint Heir spoke solemnly.
Ren Changsheng glanced at the Saint Heir. So, the goal of this Saint Heir was the Chaos Secret Realm. It seemed that this person was quite knowledgeable about it.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Ren Changsheng said lightly.
"Your Majesty, both you and I are half-step Chaotics. Ordinary things naturally wouldn’t catch our eyes, but do you know what kind of item appeared when just the outer layer of that secret realm opened?"
The Saint Heir spoke with confidence, looking at Ren Changsheng.
Ren Changsheng asked calmly.
"That Chaos Secret Realm, now only the outer layer is open, but even so, the Temple has obtained three Chaotic treasures. I’ve heard that within the secret realm, besides the Chaotic treasures, there are countless top-grade Chaotic Source Godstones, and even methods to ascend to Chaos!"
The Saint Heir spoke again to Ren Changsheng.
"Chaotic Source Godstones!"
A flicker of interest showed in Ren Changsheng’s eyes. As for the so-called Chaos method, Ren Changsheng didn’t have much interest, but those top-grade Chaotic Source Godstones were indeed good stuff, capable of helping him advance more quickly to the realm of a Chaotic Saint.
Ren Changsheng asked lightly.
A joy flashed across the Saint Heir’s face. What he was interested in was the strength of the Ren Emperor’s Palace, especially Ren Changsheng himself. Although Ren Changsheng’s cultivation level was only mid-stage of the Heavenly Dao Nine Layers, Ren Changsheng’s combat power definitely surpassed that of ten Source Springs’ worth of half-step Chaotics.
Keep in mind that although there are not a few half-step Chaotics in the upper zone, those comparable to more than ten Source Springs’ worth are indeed rare.
Having one more person to join forces with would significantly increase the chance of his True Martial Clan seizing a Chaotic treasure when the time came.
"The Battle of the Proud Heavens is key for all major forces to compete for spots. My True Martial Clan has six powerful heirs, and I am confident that we can secure at least five spots!"
Looking at Ren Changsheng, the Saint Heir spoke with a heavy tone.
Ren Changsheng looked at the Saint Heir with amazement. The so-called Battle of the Proud Heavens was the conflict of the prodigies of Heavenly Bull City. It was quite impressive that the True Martial Clan could secure five spots.
"I’ve already allied with the old demon from the Demon Clan. You must have seen the strength of the Demon Clan. Among the upper regions, the Demon Clan ranks in the top three, and securing more than three spots should be effortless for them!"
Looking at Ren Changsheng, the Saint Heir spoke once more.
Ren Changsheng smiled again; it seemed that the Saint Heir had already made arrangements. Five plus three almost amounted to half the usual quota, and Ren Changsheng was certain that the remaining spots would surely be claimed in alliance by the other tribes. When it came time to enter the so-called Secret Realm, it would then become a contest between the major forces.
These people have indeed prepared quite swiftly.
"It looks like the Chaos Secret Realm is rich in treasures!"
Ren Changsheng thought to himself.
"Since Your Excellency has unlocked the source well, it shouldn’t be difficult to cultivate a few peerless geniuses. I’ve heard you’ve brought nine peerless geniuses into your inner world, presumably for the battle of the geniuses, right?"
The Saint Heir spoke up again as he looked at Ren Changsheng.
Ren Changsheng glanced at the Saint Heir. His own suppression of the nine peerless geniuses was known to this person as well? It seemed that this person knew quite a bit about him.
"I only need two spots from the Imperial Palace. Add that up, and we would have ten spots in total. What’s there to fear when entering the Secret Realm?"
The Saint Heir said with confidence as he looked at Ren Changsheng.
Ren Changsheng burst out laughing.
"I believe my Imperial Palace doesn’t need to ally with any forces. As for how many spots the Imperial Palace can wrest away, you’ll naturally find out when the time comes!"
Ren Changsheng said indifferently as he looked at the Saint Heir.
The expression on the Saint Heir’s face grew dark in an instant. He had personally invited Ren Changsheng, seeing the strength in him, but Ren Changsheng had directly refused.
The Imperial Palace doesn’t need to form alliances?
How arrogant the Imperial Palace is.
Today’s Imperial Palace had already offended many forces. Now Ren Changsheng was offending him—didn’t he fear that the Imperial Palace would not be able to stay in Heavenly Bull City?
"Your Excellency isn’t afraid of the major forces joining hands? When the time comes, your Imperial Palace might not be able to secure a single spot!"
The Saint Heir said in a grave tone as he looked at Ren Changsheng.
"Ha ha ha... If you so-called superior forces have the capability, then my Imperial Palace will be convinced in defeat. However, from what I see, you are likely to be disappointed!"
Ren Changsheng laughed unrestrainedly.
The Saint Heir’s expression turned even more somber.
"Then, let’s wait and see!"
With a cold voice, the Saint Heir turned and left directly. Ren Changsheng had made his stance clear, so anything he said now would be useless.
Ren Changsheng watched the man leave, and the smile on his face faded.
"The spots, my Imperial Palace fears no one, however..."
A sharp light flashed in Ren Changsheng’s eyes. Ally with the Saint Heir and fear no one? No! Perhaps the Saint Heir didn’t know—the most terrifying thing in the Chaos Secret Realm wasn’t the nine superior forces.
It was that divine temple.
That divine temple was indeed the most frightening!
Ren Changsheng was certain that once they entered the Secret Realm, it would inevitably come to a head with the divine temple. Therefore, before entering the Secret Realm, he must elevate the strength of both himself and the Imperial Palace to a level that fears nothing.
"The Battle of the Geniuses..."
Murmuring to himself, Ren Changsheng’s figure flashed and vanished from sight.
At that moment, within the divine temple above, an old man opened his eyes once again.
"Issue the command. Let the Imperial Palace be promoted to a superior force, grant them nine Battle of the Geniuses spots. In addition, the Imperial Palace and the superior forces shall have equal entitlements, including one direct spot to enter the Secret Realm!"
"Additionally, summon the Emperor to see me!"
The indifferent voice of Priest Huang arose.
