"ah……"
"Is this... the second assessment just now?"
"In the second assessment, is the will tested? I remember..."
For a moment, the faces of the eldest prince, the third prince and the ninth princess all changed.
will!
What they are testing is will!
However, all three of them had serious expressions on their faces.
Obviously, the three of them were not very satisfied with the second assessment.
The black-robed elder spoke slowly: "The eldest prince and the third prince have a fair will. The ninth princess has a slightly weaker will."
The black-robed elder did not give a score.
In fact, there are no specific scores for the three assessments.
Because it makes no sense.
Only by combining the three assessments, the elders will naturally decide who will win?
On the whole, the Council of Elders is almost unaffected by external forces, and is quite fair and just every time it decides on the position of crown prince.
The Ninth Princess was slightly shocked.
She knows her own affairs.
Will, in fact, will is her weak point.
She knew this very well.
Now the second test is will, and she is indeed slightly inferior.
But in the first test, she also had an advantage.
Overall, in the two assessments, the Ninth Princess still had a certain advantage.
But the advantage is no longer big.
The most critical thing now is the third assessment.
It is also the most important assessment.
This assessment can almost determine who will be crowned prince.
The black-robed elder glanced at the three of them, and then slowly said: "Do you know what is most important to the emperor?"
"As the emperor in the future, you may not be the strongest in force, you may not be the smartest, and you may not be the strongest in will. You only need to do one thing well, and that is to control him!"
"As long as you can control them well and find talented people to help you handle various affairs of the divine dynasty, this is the highest state of governing the country."
"So, it is crucial for the emperor to find more, better, and more talented subordinates."
"Then the third assessment is very simple, that is to see how strong the so-called strongest people you have recruited are?"
"In the third test, send your men and defeat all opponents. Then you will win the third test!"
The words of the black-robed elder made the eldest prince, third prince and ninth princess all open their eyes.
They did not expect that the third assessment would be so "simple".
There is no need to even assess them.
But to assess their subordinates.
In other words, they have actually been tested for a long time.
They spent a long time recruiting subordinates one by one.
Now comes a crucial role to play.
"The third assessment is crucial."
"Whether you can become the crown prince depends on this assessment."
"The opportunity has finally arrived."
All three of them are actually confident.
They have brought their strongest men this time.
Just in case.
And now, it can finally work.
The Ninth Princess also had a solemn look on her face, and came to Lu Changsheng and said softly: "Next will be Mr. Lao Lu. There are also four masters. You all cooperate with Mr. Lu and obey Mr. Lu's orders."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
These four people are also very aware of Lu Changsheng's strength.
He had no intention of competing with Lu Changsheng for power.
What's more, this is the most crucial battle to win the throne, so of course they will go all out.
Not just the Ninth Princess.
The eldest prince and the third prince were also giving instructions to their subordinates.
The five subordinates of these two princes are not simple.
The two princes have the deepest background.
It's even so profound that it's hard to imagine.
As a result, the five masters of the eldest prince and the third prince also came to the martial arts arena.
"boom".
The next moment, a total of ten people unexpectedly all unanimously released their aura.
No one knows their strength until they release their momentum.
Even though I know it's strong, I don't know how strong it is.
I don’t even know whether it was the foundation of the divine body or the foundation of the spiritual body.
However, when these ten people released their momentum, the expressions of the Ninth Princess and others suddenly changed.
"What? This kind of momentum... a divine body?"
"This is indeed the momentum that has created the foundation of the divine body, but why are there so many? There are ten masters under the eldest prince and the third prince, and they are all strong men who have created the foundation of the divine body? Why hasn't even a little bit of news been leaked before? "
"They are all powerful men at the divine level. No wonder the eldest prince and the third prince have always been aloof and seem to have firmly grasped the initiative to seize the legitimate son. With such strength, how can others seize the legitimate son?"
"This is troublesome..."
The Ninth Princess's mood also sank.
She had actually speculated on the number of masters under the eldest prince and third prince before.
She also knew that the other party must be hiding something.
It is simply impossible that there is a powerful person with a divine body on the surface.
At least two, or even three.
But no matter what, the Ninth Princess never thought that there would be five!
Moreover, these two people together are ten great masters at the divine body level.
The Ninth Princess has great confidence in Lu Changsheng.
But no matter how confident you are, can one person defeat five masters at the divine body level, or ten masters at the divine body level?
That is tantamount to idiotic talk.
"Brother, you hide it so deeply!"
The third prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Third brother, you are not weak to each other."
The eldest prince and the third prince are old rivals.
But even they didn't know that the other party actually had five great masters at the divine body level.
This is really hidden too deep.
If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
"The foundation, this is the foundation!"
"It seems that the crown prince this time should be the eldest prince or the third prince."
"It's a pity. Actually, I'm quite optimistic about Jiu Yatou."
"Yes, except for the fact that Jiu Yatou is weak-willed, she is better than the eldest prince and the third prince. But the position of crown prince depends on three tests to determine the winner. Only the winner is qualified to become crown prince."
Among the elders, there were also some voices of regret.
They also have their own opinions.
But their opinions don't matter.
Rules are rules.
No matter who they favor, they won't get involved.
The rules are three tests, and the winner is the crown prince.
Now it seems that the eldest prince and the third prince have a profound background. They have been hiding their strength for a long time, and even unknowingly recruited five powerful men at the divine level.
In fact, this power is terrifying.
Among the other princes who took over the throne, not to mention the five powerful men at the divine body level, there was not even one.
The Ninth Princess only has one strong person at the divine level, and that is Lu Changsheng.
After all, the background is a little bit worse.
Basically, once the ten masters at the divine body level emerge, the Ninth Princess will no longer be a problem.
The Ninth Princess is almost destined to be eliminated.
This is the end of the journey to seize the throne.
The Ninth Princess clenched her fist tightly.
However, those ten terrifying auras were so overwhelming that she couldn't even breathe.
What is she trying to do?
Rely on Lu Changsheng?
If he really wanted to fight to the death, Lu Changsheng would die.
Her so-called road to seizing the right to inherit the throne seems to be a joke now.
The so-called "Big Three" are just a beautiful but sad dream.
The opponent of the eldest prince and the third prince has never been her.
"Mr. Lu... give up."
"It's no longer necessary. The road to seizing the right to inherit the throne is over..."
For a long time, the Ninth Princess spoke word by word with a bitter look on her face.
The tone was full of despair.
What else could she do?
There was nothing she could do.
Now I can only admit defeat.
Otherwise, Lu Changsheng might die.
That is to die in vain.
There was no hope at all.
Hearing the Ninth Princess's "admittance", except for Lu Changsheng, the other four people also breathed a sigh of relief.
They are only at the spiritual level.
In the past, with Lu Changsheng, they could work hard.
But now we are facing five or ten great masters at the level of divine bodies.
Once they fight, there will only be death.
There is no point in trying your best.
Now that the Ninth Princess has given up, that would be the best thing.
There is no need for them to die.
"Admit defeat?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you haven't fought yet, how can you admit defeat?"
"What's more, Lu promised at the beginning that he would definitely help Her Royal Highness Princess win the throne. This promise has still not been fulfilled, but now, there is only one step left. Lu will be able to fulfill his promise soon."
After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he walked towards the top ten masters step by step.
And his momentum and fighting spirit are also increasing step by step.
With every step he took, Lu Changsheng's momentum skyrocketed.
The terrifying momentum suddenly swept through the entire martial arts arena and enveloped everyone.
In the first step, Lu Changsheng's reincarnation body exploded.
The momentum is mighty.
But this is normal. Everyone knows that Lu Changsheng created the foundation of the divine body.
It's normal to have such a strong aura.
However, they are among the top ten divine body masters in total.
However, after taking the second step, the divine body in Lu Changsheng's body began to merge.
The momentum surged again.
It was like a terrifying hurricane sweeping across the entire martial arts arena.
For a moment, the faces of the top ten divine body masters became slightly solemn.
Everyone was obviously shocked.
But it's not over yet.
There is a third step.
When Lu Changsheng took the third step, the spiritual bodies in his body also began to merge.
"Boom."
Suddenly, the void seemed to be distorted.
There was a faint roar in everyone's ears.
"What?"
"This momentum..."
"How can it be so terrifying?"
"Can't we even compete with the momentum of our top ten divine body masters?"
"What kind of monster is this Lu Changsheng? What kind of divine body has he cultivated?"
These masters at the top ten levels of divine bodies were shocked.
Staring at Lu Changsheng.
It’s not just these top ten masters.
and the elders of the body of elders.
Everyone's eyes were also widened, as if they couldn't believe it.
"Shua".
The Ninth Princess stood up suddenly.
His eyes were fixed on Lu Changsheng.
She was even trembling all over.
That's exciting.
The excitement of surviving a desperate situation!
"Mr. Lu..."
The ninth princess was very surprised.
She had reached a desperate situation, but unexpectedly she survived, and Lu Changsheng gave her hope again.
Now the Ninth Princess just hopes that this is not a dream, let alone an illusion.
She hopes that all this is true!
Lu Changsheng walked step by step to the martial arts arena.
He didn't even pay attention to the other four masters of Princess Mansion.
Whether or not they are there doesn't really mean much.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the top ten masters.
Then he stood up with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Since this is the last step, there is no need to hide it. It's all done in one step. Let's go together, ten of you!"
"boom".
Lu Changsheng's words were extremely clear.
what is this?
One against ten?
This is simply... so arrogant!
You know, this is a master at the level of ten divine bodies.
Moreover, there are some masters at the top divine body level among them.
Don’t talk about Lu Changsheng.
Even those top heavenly gods and men dare not say that they can deal with their top ten masters together.
But now Lu Changsheng did just that.
One person challenges ten people!
This is not a fair discussion.
It's not a communication martial art either.
This is an inheritance!
To seize the direct descendant, you must do whatever it takes.
After hearing Lu Changsheng's arrogant words, the eldest prince and the third prince looked at each other.
At this moment, they all made a decision.
"You guys join forces for the time being and kill Lu Changsheng first!"
"Kill him at all costs!"
Both of them felt threatened by Lu Changsheng.
At this moment, the two old rivals who had been fighting for many years completely joined forces for the first time.
"kill!"
Following the orders of the two princes, these ten masters no longer hesitated.
As a result, the ten masters at the divine body level activated their divine body power one after another.
Suddenly, ten terrifying forces intertwined together in the void.
It was even more overwhelming, sweeping towards Lu Changsheng.
With such power, who can stop a master at the divine body level?
"Ah."
Lu Changsheng smiled.
With ten people joining forces, this lineup is not weak, even very strong!
Under the martial arts supreme, such a lineup is enough to sweep everything.
It's a pity, how many clones does Lu Changsheng have now?
Twenty-five!
Nine divine bodies and sixteen spiritual bodies!
At this moment, no matter whether it is a divine body or a spiritual body.
Fusion!
Crazy fusion!
When the twenty-five clones were fused together, Lu Changsheng's power seemed to have easily broken a certain limit, and even after breaking it, it continued to improve a lot.
This improved power also improved Lu Changsheng's horizons.
The originally terrifying ten masters joined forces to attack, but now it seemed like a joke in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
He gently extended his hand.
"Destroy!"
With just the word "destroy", unparalleled power burst out from Lu Changsheng's hands.
Pure power.
Pure death filled the air.
Then, in the entire martial arts arena, the ten dense rays of light and the ten terrifying forces disappeared into thin air and disappeared.
It was as if it had never appeared.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
"impossible……"
The top ten masters couldn't believe their eyes.
This was a joint attack by ten masters at the divine body level. What was the result?
Just one palm.
Lu Changsheng completely neutralized their attacks with just one palm.
Even this palm still has some power left.
It was so majestic and powerful that it enveloped all the top ten masters.
"town!"
Lu Changsheng landed a palm.
The top ten masters cannot avoid it.
Moreover, there seemed to be a terrifying suppressive power that caused the bodies of the top ten masters to break apart inch by inch.
"No……"
The top ten masters screamed miserably.
Then, Lu Changsheng's palm fell hard, and finally fell on the ground of the martial arts arena.
"Boom."
A burst of smoke filled the air.
The huge sound also spread to all directions.
On the ground, a huge hand print was clearly visible.
But the top ten masters have turned into powder.
The ground was covered with blood, staining the martial arts arena red.
But the top ten masters were nowhere to be seen.
died.
All dead.
If you can't withstand Lu Changsheng's palm, you will die!
Lu Changsheng frowned.
"So weak?"
In fact, he just wanted to suppress ten people.
Unexpectedly, he didn't use all his strength when he applied the palm, and even withdrew some strength.
In the end, these ten people still couldn't bear it.
It's simply too weak.
The fusion of Lu Changsheng's twenty-five clones has already produced a qualitative change.
No matter how hard they reduce their strength, these top ten masters cannot stop him at all.
"Buzz".
A force of repulsion appeared around Lu Changsheng.
"Um?"
Lu Changsheng felt blessed in his heart and knew that the repulsive power of the Kunwu Realm had appeared again.
So, he immediately separated the clones, stopped merging, and restored his previous aura.
As the clones merged, the power of repulsion also disappeared.
However, the power of repulsion is still the power of repulsion.
As soon as it appeared, it still attracted some people's attention.
Especially the royal group of elders.
The black-robed elder narrowed his eyes slightly.
After seeing the repulsive force, he was shocked.
"Is this...the power of repulsion?"
"However, once the power of repulsion appears, it means that someone has exceeded the extreme level! Has Lu Changsheng exceeded the extreme level?"
"But if you go beyond the extreme realm, you will be expelled. But this Lu Changsheng's aura suddenly dropped, and the power of repulsion disappeared. What happened?"
"Even gods from outside the world don't have this ability to dispel the power of repulsion."
"Lu Changsheng must have a shocking secret..."
The black-robed elder stared intently at Lu Changsheng, one thought after another flashing through his mind.
It can dispel the power of rejection.
Or, it can make the power of repulsion disappear, but it can burst out the power of respect.
In the Kunwu world, ordinary people may not know the gods and men outside the world.
But some of the higher-ups of the divine dynasty in the Kunwu Realm knew about the situation of the divine beings outside the world.
After all, they have also captured many heavenly beings.
Compared with the cultivation system in Jiehai, the cultivation system in Kunwu Realm is too chaotic.
Therefore, the higher-ups of Kunwu Realm also copied Jiehai's practice system.
They know the extreme realm, they know the respect realm, and they even know the ancestral realm.
I also know the repulsive power of Kunwu Realm.
It can be said that this repulsive force actually protects the lives of them in the Kunwu Realm.
Once someone is able to avoid or dispel the force of rejection.
That would be a devastating blow to the entire Kunwu world.
But the black-robed elder remained calm and made no movement.
It's too early to tell.
But the black-robed elder was already paying attention to Lu Changsheng.
He will investigate Lu Changsheng as soon as possible.
Lu Changsheng's heart moved slightly.
He actually noticed the gazes of the elders of the Council of Elders.
The power of repulsion just now was too obvious. These elders obviously knew the power of repulsion.
There is no attack now, just because he is afraid of Lu Changsheng.
Or, the time is not right.
But Lu Changsheng didn't care either.
He knows exactly how strong he is now.
No one can do anything to him if the god of the country cannot be found.
Of course, if the other party wanted to use the national treasure, Lu Changsheng would still have to do his best to escape.
If you can't fight, run away.
But the national treasure is not so easy to use.
Unless absolutely necessary, the royal group of elders will not use the sacred objects of the country.
After all, Lu Changsheng did not pose any threat to the royal family for the time being.
Besides, Lu Changsheng is still under the command of the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess can almost be said to be the crown prince now.
This status and identity can no longer be determined by the elders.
We still have to consider the feelings of the Ninth Princess.
"Elder, can you make the announcement now?"
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
Lu Changsheng's words made the eldest prince and third prince look pale.
It’s over!
This time it’s completely over!
In the third test, the two of them failed completely.
All his subordinates were swept away by Lu Changsheng.
The results are already out.
The Ninth Princess was extremely excited.
Even as she tried to stay calm.
However, she couldn't restrain her inner excitement.
Done!
She actually did it!
Crown Prince!
The Ninth Princess is about to become the crown prince of the entire Daqian Dynasty!
At this time, the black-robed elder also nodded and slowly said: "In the third test, the Ninth Princess won the victory!"
"After comprehensive evaluation of the three assessments, and after discussion by the Royal Family Elders Group, the Ninth Princess became the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty."
"We will ask the emperor to issue a decree to canonize the nine princesses as the crown princess!"
"The rest of the princes who failed to seize the legitimate title will be assigned according to the rules. You go back and wait for your fate, and you are not allowed to leave the divine capital. Otherwise, they will be regarded as escapees and will be killed without mercy!"
The black-robed elder's words were harsh.
The prince who fails to seize the rightful son will be sent away.
But it won't be killed.
Because there is still a possibility.
What if the prince dies due to various accidents?
It's possible.
Even if the possibility is small.
And these princes who were assigned were actually candidates.
Therefore, it can only be distributed rather than killed directly.
But if the prince wants to escape, it is a serious crime and can be killed directly.
"Thank you, elder!"
Princess Ninth responded extremely excitedly.
The eldest prince and the third prince left the palace with expressions of despair.
The next day, an imperial edict was issued in the palace.
The emperor decreed that the ninth princess be canonized as the crown princess, and officially became the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty, and announced it to the world.
Once this imperial edict is issued, the seizure of the rightful son will be regarded as dust and completely over.
The ninth princess had the last laugh.
"Mr. Lu, thanks to Mr. Lu this time, otherwise I would never have succeeded in seizing the direct descendant."
The Ninth Princess said with emotion.
Lu Changsheng looked at the Ninth Princess and said nothing.
The Ninth Princess also knew what Lu Changsheng meant.
So I took out a box directly.
"Mr. Lu, there are a total of four divine objects at the divine level in the box, all of which were found in the treasury of the eldest prince and the third prince."
"I have to say that the eldest prince and the third prince are really profound, and they still have so many divine objects at the divine level. As for the divine objects at the spiritual level, they are still being collected and will be sent to Mr. Lu in a while."
"The number of divine objects at the spiritual level will definitely satisfy Mr. Lu."
Lu Changsheng took a look at the box and was very satisfied.
So, the ninth princess left.
Lu Changsheng began to refine four divine objects at the divine body level in the room.
He has been "targeted" by the royal group of elders, and Lu Changsheng knows this very well.
But he had already been prepared.
It's only a matter of time before you get noticed.
But so what?
He must improve his strength as soon as possible.
Only when your strength is improved can you cope with all changes.
Time passes day by day.
In the following time, Lu Changsheng did receive many spiritual-level artifacts.
There are about thirteen pieces in total.
This is a terrifying number.
Four divine objects at the divine body level, and thirteen divine objects at the spiritual body level.
This is the background of the eldest prince and the third prince.
Lu Changsheng naturally refined everything.
He currently has thirteen clones at the divine body level and twenty-nine clones at the spiritual body level.
There are forty-two clones in total.
This is a very scary number.
A total of forty-two clones.
Once merged, Lu Changsheng's strength would skyrocket to an unknown extent.
However, Lu Changsheng could feel that it seemed that the shackles had not been broken.
The gap between the martial arts supreme and the ancestral realm is too big.
But he wasn't in a hurry either.
Instead, he waited quietly.
One month, two months, three months...
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
The opportunity finally arrived.
The emperor is really dying.
It was said before that it would only take a month or two.
But I didn’t expect that the emperor’s will to survive was very strong.
It actually lasted another three months.
On this day, a messenger came to the palace.
"Your Highness, there is an order from the palace, you can enter the palace."
"Huh? Entering the palace now, could it be that my father..."
The Ninth Princess immediately guessed what was going on.
The messenger gritted his teeth and replied directly: "Your Highness, His Majesty has passed away."
"Shua".
The ninth princess suddenly stood up.
The wait is finally here.
There was no sadness in her heart, only joy.
After all, there is no family ties in the Tian family.
There was no close relationship between her and the emperor.
She had waited for so long and finally waited until today.
"Let's go into the palace!"
"By the way, Mr. Lu, please come with me to the palace."
The Ninth Princess still trusted Lu Changsheng very much.
No one can take him with him, but he will definitely take Lu Changsheng with him.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Changsheng looked very calm.
He was quite calm.
After coming to Kunwu Realm for more than a year, his first goal has been completed.
Help the Ninth Princess to reach Dabao!
Once the Ninth Princess became the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.
That royal treasury.
Or the royal family's collection of books, Lu Changsheng would be able to access them.
By then, will the clues to the Immortal Body be far behind?
Lu Changsheng has not forgotten that what he wants most is to obtain clues to the immortal body.
The carriage drove towards the palace as fast as possible.
At this moment, it is already night.
Curfew on the streets.
But the Ninth Princess's carriage traveled unimpeded.
The carriage soon arrived at the palace.
By showing the Crown Princess's token, the Ninth Princess can enter the palace at any time.
Soon, the Ninth Princess and Lu Changsheng arrived outside the emperor's palace.
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is here!"
shouted the eunuch.
The guards and maids saluted one after another.
The ninth princess hurried to the palace.
There are many people inside.
However, the Ninth Princess looked intently.
His expression changed instantly.
I saw a man wearing bright yellow clothes sitting on the dragon couch, with an inexplicable majesty on his body.
He was drinking the bitter soup one mouthful at a time.
Surprisingly, it is the emperor!
But, didn’t it mean that the emperor died?
The messenger was also dumbfounded.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
Obviously he saw it clearly before leaving.
The emperor indeed died.
Even the queen was crying.
But why is it alive again now?
The Ninth Princess was also looking at the emperor carefully.
She didn't know why, but the other person's appearance didn't change, but she always felt a little unfamiliar.
Something seems to be different.
Moreover, the feeling of being sick and dying all over my body is gone.
It seems like I can live for a long time.
This...this isn't right.
It was obvious that the emperor was terminally ill and the oil was exhausted.
Is your body recovering now?
"Could it be that the royal group of elders took action?"
"No, that's not right. The group of elders will never intervene in the battle for the throne, and it is even less likely to extend the emperor's life."
The Ninth Princess' thoughts changed rapidly.
At this moment, the emperor's sharp gaze fell on the ninth princess.
"Why, are you disappointed to see me?"
"Not only am I not dead, my condition has also improved a lot. You, the Crown Princess, will probably have to do this for many more years."
The emperor spoke slowly, word by word.
Although his tone was calm, the meaning behind his words was full of pressure.
"His Majesty……"
Princess Ninth was about to explain.
However, Lu Changsheng suddenly stepped forward and came to the side of the Ninth Princess, and stared at the emperor opposite him with burning eyes.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng spoke slowly: "No, you are not the emperor!"
"Tell me, who are you?"
"boom".
Lu Changsheng's words were shocking.
The person in front of me is obviously the emperor.
If not the emperor, who could it be?
