Chapter 1579: Immortal Capital

The Heaven Battling Ranking Competition would be held in the Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Dynasty was the biggest dynasty in the Central Region, and it was rumored that their territory was rich in draconic aura because the place was once inhabited by the dragon race.

Numerous cultivators had arrived at the Immortal Capital for the competition, causing the city to be bustling with noise and activity. Fortunately, the Immortal Capital was also the biggest city in the dominion. Its size was beyond imagination, and it was entirely capable of accepting so many visiting Saints.

Upon their arrival outside the Immortal Capital, Xiang Shaoyun and his group were greeted by the sight of a boundless city. Its gorgeous walls appeared unbreakable, powerful enough to resist the attack of a God. Standing atop the walls were numerous valiant cultivators clad in armor. From their auras, none of them was weaker than the Dragon Ascension Realm. In fact, there were Sovereigns among the city guards. Anyone thinking of creating trouble in the city would be looking for death.

After one entered the city, one could see countless ancient buildings. The city’s expansive streets were filled with traffic, and the sounds of merchants peddling their products rang out constantly. No other city could compare with the Immortal Capital in terms of prosperity. Xiang Shaoyun had once visited the Imperial Sunset City, but that city was nothing compared to the Immortal Capital.

“The Immortal Capital is truly worthy of its name. It’s truly enviable to see the prosperity here,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

“In the future, I will grow the Great Han Dynasty’s capital into such a city as well,” said Liu Qingchen confidently.

“I believe you can do so,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

“Boss, with your ability, you will be able to build a city even grander than this,” said Devouring Ghost with an expectant look in his eyes.

In fact, that was their biggest dream during Xiang Shaoyun’s past life, but alas, they had failed.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Devouring Ghost calmly and said, “Don’t worry. So long as we accumulate enough strength, we can change everything.”

In this life, Xiang Shaoyun had not displayed too much ambition. But after he branded his powers from his two past lives onto his soul, his confidence had reached a brand new level. He even started thinking of setting his goal to an even higher level. What was so special about building a dynasty?

Instead, he wanted to dominate the dominion, dominate the Devil Domain, and dominate the alien races. He wanted to become the strongest overlord of the universe. Anyone would be dumbstruck upon hearing of his ambition. After all, even Venerable Yuan Shi, once known as the strongest God, couldn’t reach such a level.

The group tried to look for a place of accommodation, but they failed, as all the hotels in the city were already full. At this time, Liu Qingchen demonstrated the usefulness of his identity as a prince of the Great Han Dynasty. He brought the group to a place in the city that belonged to the Great Han Dynasty.

After all, the various dynasties would interact with each other in terms of trade and military affairs. Thus, it wasn’t odd that the Great Han Dynasty would have their own place. When they entered, they found that a large number of Great Han Dynasty Saints had already arrived, including the princes and princesses.

The moment the group entered, a group of more than 10 people showed up before them. The leader of the group was a gorgeously dressed man. He immediately greeted Liu Qingchen, “Fifth brother, you’re finally showing yourself!”

The man was clad in a robe emblazoned with a jiao motif. The golden-purple lines on the robe gave off a noble sensation. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but his scholarly aura and amiable smile caused everyone to have a good impression of him.

That man was also a prince of the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Qinghong. Like Liu Qingchen, he was also born of the empress. Thus, they were siblings of the same parents. He was a seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator.

His strength was impressive for his age, but he was incomparable to a genius like Liu Qingchen. After all, Liu Qingchen possessed the top talent even in the entirety of the Great Han Dynasty. Few in the dynasty could compare with him.

“Greetings, elder imperial brother,” said Liu Qingchen respectfully.

With Liu Qingchen’s ability, he was entitled to fight over the crown prince’s position, but he had given it up for the sake of his elder brother. After all, they shared the same mother.

“Fifth brother, there is no need for things to be so formal between us brothers,” said Liu Qinghong as he patted Liu Qingchen’s shoulder. His gaze then swept over Xiang Shaoyun’s group, stopping at Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and Lu Xiaoqing. He asked, “These people are?”

“Elder imperial brother, this is Xiang Shaoyun, my current boss. These are my sisters-in-law: Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and Lu Xiaoqing. These are…” Liu Qingchen hurriedly introduced everyone to each other.

“So it’s the renowned overlord, Xiang Shaoyun. I’ve long looked forward to meeting you,” said Liu Qinghong. He had already guessed who the youth before him was, but he was still shocked when his guess was confirmed. Inwardly, he thought, He’s even younger than I thought.

The Great Han Dynasty had long known of Liu Qingchen’s submission to Xiang Shaoyun. The Great Han Emperor was infuriated when he found out. He even planned to send someone to bring Liu Qingchen back. He only gave up on that idea when he learned that Liu Qingchen had done so voluntarily and that Xiang Shaoyun himself was also someone with a backing. A hundred years wasn’t exactly a long time, even if it wasn’t a short time either. Perhaps it would be a way for Liu Qingchen to temper himself as well.

“Fifth brother, as the prince of the Great Han, it is embarrassing for you to follow a random person,” remarked a beautiful woman. She was even stronger than Liu Qinghong, being an eighth-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. Her gorgeous dress made it clear that she was someone of extraordinary status.

Liu Qingchen glared at the woman and said, “Third sister, this is my personal affair. You have no say in it.”

The woman was the daughter of one of the emperor’s imperial concubines. Her name was Liu Jiaohong, a talented princess of the Great Han Dynasty.

“I wouldn’t be bothered about you if this is any other time, but for the Heaven Battling Ranking, you are the best candidate to fight for the dynasty’s glory. How can I stay out of it?” said Liu Jiaohong unyieldingly.

Liu Qingchen had a look of astonishment as he asked, “Third sister, since when were you so courageous? You’re even trying to meddle in my affairs?”

In fact, Liu Qingchen was the Great Han Emperor’s favored prince. Even his elder brother had to show him a degree of respect. This third sister was usually rather respectful to him, so it was understandable that he would be shocked when she acted out of character.
