Chapter 43: The Person I Hate the Most in This Life is Nie Chen

The sound of “ka, ka” echoed through the air.

The Three Emperors’ Mausoleum Inheritance had been obtained, and the light patterns gradually spread, causing the tomb’s boundary to shatter completely.

Even though the people who had been transported out of the tomb had already spread the news about the situation inside, the cultivators outside were still shocked when they saw the state of the tomb.

The ground was covered in scars, and flames were everywhere.

On the bare, red rocks, countless people had been burned by the flames and were severely injured.

Two old men quickly jumped into the boundary and arrived at the side of the young man in the brocade robe, kneeling down in a panic:

“We failed to protect you, please punish us, Your Highness.”

“It’s alright, get up.”

The young man in the brocade robe looked up, his eyes slightly narrowed, gazing into the air.

“That is… Imperial Court’s Crown Prince Shu Zi’an!”

Just now, everyone was busy running for their lives, and their attention was focused on Nie Chen.

No one noticed that the young man holding a folding fan, who was dealing with the monsters with ease, was actually Shu Zi’an!

Shu Zi’an’s name had already spread far and wide.

Not only was he the Crown Prince of the Imperial Court, but more importantly, he had a terrifying talent.

The original Shu Zi’an, despite being the son of the Emperor, was looked down upon due to his low talent and difficulty in cultivating, and was once considered the most useless prince in the Imperial Court.

However, in just two years, Shu Zi’an, who had been subjected to countless bullying, awakened to the True Body of Enlightenment.

This True Body of Enlightenment was one of the rarest and most ancient true bodies.

It was said that only a few physiques could surpass the True Body of Enlightenment, and perhaps there were not even five in the entire world.

In front of the True Body of Enlightenment, all things could be enlightened.

Any object, any matter, any scene, could be used as an opportunity to improve one’s cultivation.

Relying on this terrifying and coveted True Body of Enlightenment, Shu Zi’an had risen from a useless person to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just two years!

Moreover, he had become the Crown Prince of the Imperial Court.

His current status and identity were enough to represent the entire Imperial Court.

The world was shocked.

Some strong people even predicted that if Shu Zi’an was given another 200 years, he might have the power to rival Empress Qingyue!

“Your Highness, you’ve had another enlightenment.”

Seeing Shu Zi’an’s gaze, the old man couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The Crown Prince’s talent and comprehension were truly terrifying.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he wouldn’t even be qualified to protect the Crown Prince.

Although there were many geniuses in the world, in front of the Crown Prince, they could only feel ashamed.

Empress Qingyue was known for her cold and aloof demeanor, but when the Crown Prince’s power could match hers, perhaps she would finally put down her pride.

The Imperial Court knew that the Crown Prince had a crush on Empress Qingyue, although his current status and identity were not yet worthy of her.

However, the old man believed that the day when the Crown Prince could match Empress Qingyue’s power would not be far away.

He also wanted to see the Crown Prince effortlessly win over Empress Qingyue, who was as cold as an iceberg.

The scene of the Crown Prince making the beautiful and cold Empress Qingyue smile would surely be breathtaking.

However, the old man suddenly noticed that the Crown Prince’s expression was a bit off.

Following the Crown Prince’s gaze, he took a deep breath.

“Opening Profound Realm… but why is this person’s aura so powerful and terrifying!”

“He’s called Nie Chen, and he just inherited the Three Emperors’ Inheritance, attracting the Nine-Turn Lightning Tribulation.”

The Crown Prince’s gaze was as cold as ice:

“What’s more important is that I heard he has gained Empress Qingyue’s favor.”

“Empress Qingyue!”

The old man’s heart skipped a beat.

Who didn’t know that the Crown Prince had been in love with Empress Qingyue for many years?

This time, the Crown Prince seemed to be really angry.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I’ll investigate this person’s background as soon as possible.”

The old man quickly promised.

“No need.”

The Crown Prince’s voice was cold: “I’ll let him know what a true genius is.”

The pressure from the True Body of Enlightenment made the old man feel a chill in his heart.

“No matter how talented that Nie Chen is, if he dares to get involved with Empress Qingyue, he will surely die!”

“What a pity.”

The old man couldn’t help but sigh for the genius who was about to fall.

…

[You have created a mental shock to the Xuanwu Gate’s chief disciple.]

[You have had a strong impact on Hong Mo Sect’s Zhang Xiu Ping’s spiritual core.]

[You have had a huge impact on the life views of hundreds of cultivators.]

[Reward: +2 skill points.]

The 13 skill points that were lost were recovered, and now 7 points were regained from those seven people, and 2 more points were added.

Calculating, Nie Chen felt that the pressure on him had decreased significantly.

He put away the Three Emperors’ seal and converged the two veins that the Ancient Sacred Body had unlocked.

The golden light slowly dissipated, and Nie Chen gently floated down to the ground.

The impact from earlier had already caused the tomb’s hall to collapse, and it was now in ruins.

Among the broken walls, only Shu Xiangdie was waiting.

Nie Chen looked at her: “You had the chance to enter the Inheritance’s light path just now, why didn’t you take it?”

“Hmph, I need your help to enter the hall, it’s already embarrassing enough, I don’t want to compete for the Inheritance.”

Shu Xiangdie turned her back to Nie Chen, her voice cold.

For some reason, although she was trying to appear cold, her heart rate was a bit hard to control in this environment where she was alone with Nie Chen.

Nie Chen smiled: “Not competing for the Inheritance is your choice, but you can’t go back on your promise to explain the ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’.”

“I… I will definitely keep my promise!”

Shu Xiangdie bit her lip, feeling a bit frustrated.

She thought Nie Chen was concerned about her, but it turned out he only cared about the book.

Was she even less important than a book?

No, it wasn’t just a book.

Shu Xiangdie suddenly remembered that during the martial arts competition, Nie Chen had chosen the jade bracelet over her, and didn’t even want to look at her!

The jade bracelet and the book, she couldn’t compare to either of them!

If she wasn’t holding back, Shu Xiangdie would have almost cried out of anger.

In the Imperial Court, she was the high and mighty Third Princess.

In the Emei Sect, she was the attention-grabbing chief disciple.

But no matter which identity she used, she couldn’t attract Nie Chen’s attention at all.

Indeed, the person she hated the most in this life was Nie Chen!

Now and forever!

Shu Xiangdie’s anger rose to her head, and she walked to the side, suddenly turning around.

Her small fist pounded on Nie Chen’s chest a few times.

“What are you doing?”

Nie Chen was taken aback.

But being punched by her small fist was like a massage, it felt unexpectedly good.

“Hmph!”

Shu Xiangdie snorted, not answering, and turned to leave.

Nie Chen felt a bit helpless.

He didn’t even know her before, how did he provoke her so quickly?
