79: Chapter 78 The Promise Made by Chen Zhiyue

Chen Zhiwen looked at Zheng Chen calmly. Although he was slightly surprised by why the other party appeared here, his expression remained indifferent.

"The Eldest Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, the youngest and most outstanding Soul Refining Cultivator in the Desolate Province today, I have naturally heard of you."

Zheng Chen smiled slightly, arched his hands in a humble manner, and said, "The Fifth Prince flatters me. Compared to you, my cultivation is nothing worth mentioning."

"Hahaha, you two don't need to be so polite in front of me. Please, take your seats," Chen Zhiyue laughed loudly.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and chose a seat in the pavilion to sit down.

In the pavilion, apart from Chen Zhiwen and the other two, there was no one else.

Chen Zhiyue picked up the teapot and poured tea for Chen Zhiwen and Zheng Chen, then said to Chen Zhiwen, "Fifth Brother, Brother Zheng and I are old friends; he is not an outsider."

Chen Zhiwen sipped his tea and said indifferently, "Since he can sit here now, I naturally understand that the relationship between you two is not simple."

"It is just that I am surprised, Third Brother, how did you come to know Brother Zheng?"

"As far as I know, it seems to be Brother Zheng's first time coming to the Great Xuan Dynasty, and he has never left the Great Yu Dynasty before."

Facing this doubt from Chen Zhiwen, Chen Zhiyue and Zheng Chen looked at each other, both revealing smiles on their faces.

"Fifth Brother, there is something you don't know."

"Actually, Brother Zheng lived in our Great Xuan Capital City for a period of time, but he did not expose his identity in front of outsiders then."

"I also happened to make friends with Brother Zheng during that time," Chen Zhiyue explained.

Zheng Chen said, "The Third Prince is right. I came to the Great Xuan Capital City when I was five years old and only returned to the Great Yu Dynasty when I was eighteen."

"Counting the days, the time I lived in the Great Xuan Dynasty is even longer than the time I spent in the Great Yu Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiwen was greatly shocked.

The Eldest Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty had lived in the Great Xuan Capital City for so many years, yet not a single bit of news had spread to the outside world.

If one were to say that the Great Xuan Imperial Family knew nothing about this, that would be completely impossible.

There were clearly some secrets unknown to ordinary people involved here.

"Fifth Brother, actually, you don't need to be surprised. The fact that Brother Zheng lived in our Great Xuan Capital City is something both the Great Xuan and Great Yu Imperial Families are aware of."

"When Brother Zheng was five years old, the Great Yu Imperial Family discovered that he had extremely high talent in the Dao of Soul Refining."

"Even the Great Grandmaster of the Great Yu Dynasty was alarmed and came out of seclusion to personally instruct Brother Zheng."

"However, after a while, that Great Grandmaster discovered that his own cultivation direction was not suitable for Brother Zheng."

"In order not to let such a Genius as Brother Zheng be buried, the Great Grandmaster of the Great Yu Dynasty contacted the Great Grandmaster of our Great Xuan Dynasty, letting him be sent under the tutelage of our Great Xuan Dynasty's Great Grandmaster."

"The many years Brother Zheng lived in the Great Xuan Capital City were actually spent cultivating by the side of our Great Xuan Dynasty's Great Grandmaster."

"In the end, Brother Zheng can be considered half a member of the Great Xuan Imperial Family. Now you should understand why I trust him so much, right?" Chen Zhiyue explained in detail to Chen Zhiwen.

After listening, a look of realization appeared on Chen Zhiwen's face. "So that's how it is."

On the Desolate Province today, the two Cultivators who have achieved extremely high accomplishments in the Dao of Soul Refining are the two Great Grandmasters of the Great Yu Dynasty and the Great Xuan Dynasty.

It is just that the cultivation directions of these two Great Grandmasters are different. The Great Grandmaster of Great Yu diligently studied the method of Artifact Refining, becoming a generation of Great Master of Artifact Refining.

While the Great Grandmaster of Great Xuan, Chen Heng, diligently studied the method of Formation, becoming a Formation power that the world admires.

If the two had to be compared, Chen Heng's strength is naturally a bit stronger than the Great Grandmaster of Great Yu.

Since the Great Grandmaster of Great Yu could not teach Zheng Chen, then Chen Heng was naturally the best choice without a doubt.

Not wasting too much time on Zheng Chen's affairs, Chen Zhiwen said, "Let's talk about the matter of our cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhiyue's expression straightened, and his demeanor became solemn.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Zhiyue said, "Fifth Brother, I am a person without much ambition; I would be satisfied if I could become the Emperor of Great Xuan in this life."

"After you returned to the capital, I observed you for a long time and found that you don't seem interested in the position of Emperor."

"That is why I proposed to cooperate with you. With your cultivation talent, as long as you are willing to help me, the position of Emperor of Great Xuan will definitely be mine!"

Chen Zhiwen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You are right, I have no interest in the position of Emperor."

"But even so, why should I help you? Helping you doesn't seem to have any benefits for me."

Chen Zhiyue seemed to have known that Chen Zhiwen would say this and replied, "Fifth Brother, your grudge with the Second Brother is known to everyone in the capital."

"Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Second Brother's power is quite good, but in my eyes, his little influence is nothing at all."

"I only need to exert a little effort to make the Second Brother lose everything he currently possesses in an instant."

"As long as Fifth Brother nods, you don't need to make a move; I can make the Second Brother pay the price for everything he has done before right now."

"This is the first benefit of our cooperation."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyue paused for a while and continued, "As for the second benefit, it is a promise."

"As long as you, Fifth Brother, can help me ascend to the position of Emperor, I can use the entire power of the Great Xuan Dynasty to find a way for you to step into the Grandmaster Realm as a Body Cultivator."

"At that time, even if it means exhausting the national treasury of the Great Xuan Dynasty, I will not hesitate."

When this promise from Chen Zhiyue was made, Zheng Chen, who was on the side, was moved, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He had known Chen Zhiyue for so long and naturally knew that Chen Zhiyue valued integrity extremely highly; what he said would definitely be done.

But in Zheng Chen's view, to win over Chen Zhiwen by staking the entire national treasury of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Chen Zhiyue was undoubtedly making a bold decision.

In the current Desolate Province, the Legacy of Body Cultivators has been broken for many years, and not a single Body Cultivator has been able to step into the Grandmaster Realm.

Take the Old Ancestor of the Blazing Body Sect in the Great Yan Dynasty, for example.

The former Great Chu Dynasty, in order to let that Old Ancestor step into the Grandmaster Realm, invested countless resources into him.

But after decades, that Old Ancestor of the Blazing Body Sect was still stuck at the Peak Grandmaster Realm and failed to step into the Grandmaster Realm.

For this, the Great Chu Dynasty felt the pain for a long time.

It can be seen that if a Body Cultivator wants to step into the Grandmaster Realm, it has already reached a terrifying level.

It's hard to say if exhausting the entire national treasury of the Great Xuan Dynasty would ultimately be unable to allow Chen Zhiwen to enter the Grandmaster Realm.

Chen Zhiwen looked up at Chen Zhiyue in surprise, somewhat amazed at Chen Zhiyue's courage.

In fact, in Chen Zhiwen's view, apart from the Second Prince, it didn't matter who the next Emperor of Great Xuan would be.

But it must be said that Chen Zhiwen thought highly of the Third Prince, and if possible, he wouldn't mind helping him.

"Third Brother, in my opinion, the other princes in the capital cannot compare to you at all."

"If you want to become the next Emperor of Great Xuan, you don't need my help at all."

"You know that I have no intention of fighting for the position of Emperor, so why must you go to such lengths to cooperate with me?" Chen Zhiwen voiced the confusion in his heart.

Zheng Chen also cast a puzzled look at Chen Zhiyue.
