5000 kilometers away, the Ultramarine Province.
A dazzling purple light shot up abruptly from the inner hall of the imperial ancestral temple, instantly lighting up the entirety of the Ultramarine Province.
Whether it be the nobility in the temple’s hall, or the common people on the streets, they were all shocked by this soaring purple light.
Everybody swarmed onto the streets and talked excitedly while pointing at the sky.
“My heavens, what is that?”
“It looks like it came from the imperial ancestral temple.”
“Me, me. I heard that half a month ago, His Highness the Chen Prince remained at the imperial ancestral temple, apparently to succeed the demon emperor’s inheritance.”
“No way, the demon emperor’s inheritance of legend actually exists?”
“Then right now…”
“His Highness, he has succeeded?”
Meanwhile, the two princes who were chatting with the crown prince in the Eastern Palace had also sensed the anomaly in the sky. The promptly jumped up from their chairs.
“Eldest Brother! Look at what’s happening outside.”
Rong Li coldly strode out the door with his two younger brothers.
That purple light had completely dyed the entire horizon in resplendent colors.
Suddenly, they heard the cry of a dragon. A true dragon gradually surfaced from the condensing purple air. It swished away the clouds with its tail as it darted about in the sky.
Rong Li felt his heart thud heavily, and a bad premonition surfaced in his mind.
“Dammit, Old Fourth succeeded in the inheritance?”
“Why did he have to succeed in obtaining the demon emperor’s blood?”
“Our worst fears came true!” The second prince spoke angrily, “This brat has heaven-defying luck! How come everything good happens to him?”
Rong Li subconsciously clenched his fists. He relaxed his furrowed brows and suddenly remarked with a smile, “Looks like Fourth Brother has come out of closed-door cultivation! As his brothers, we naturally have to go congratulate him.”
“Eldest Brother, how can you actually still laugh,” the second prince chastised, expecting better from him. “Imperial Father is already viewing that brat highly enough. Now that he has succeeded the millenium-old inheritance, where do we brothers stand!”
“Sigh, as brothers, we naturally should be happy that Fourth Brother could obtain the demon emperor’s blood.”
The second prince couldn’t help but laugh from anger. “How generous you are. Aren’t you unconvinced losing to this brat?”
Rong Li smiled noncommittally, but his gaze turned cold as he turned to walk out the door.
“Hey, Third Brother. Didn’t you say you would send people to investigate that drawing?” The second prince suddenly recalled this matter and asked with a smile, “Did you find any clues?”
“Hey, Second Brother. Don’t you mention it. I actually did find out something.”
Rong Li didn’t say anything, but he slowed down, evidently listening in on what the third prince had to say.
“I started investigating from where he came from, the Sikong Planet. Guess what I found out.” The third prince boasted triumphantly, “I had planned to tell you in due time, but since Fourth Brother has come out of closed-door cultivation in advance, I naturally have to let you know just in case.”
The third prince did not say what he was referring to, but the other two understood.
Just in case Imperial Father really did place high importance on Old Fourth. After all, it really was difficult to say in the future.
The third prince said, “Do you know who that woman in the drawing is?”
Having a quick temper, the second prince swatted the third prince. “Alright, don’t leave us hanging. Just say it.”
“She is the future crown prince consort of the Divine Province.”
What?!?Rong Li was startled.
