The Elder King
The Supreme Elders were in an uproar.
The Holy Land had not set up an Elder King for many years because the power of this position was too high, even higher than the Holy Lord. The Elder King could impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elder, making him the truly most powerful person in the Holy Land.
Of course, on the other hand, due to the Elder King’s high authority, it required the Holy Lord and Supreme Elders to vote together. Only if more than 80% of the people agreed could one become the Elder King.
However, it was easier said than done to become the Elder King.
Since the Taiyi Holy Land’s declined, there had never been an Elder King.
Although there were related positions, no one had been recognized to take on the position.
Now that the Holy Lord had suggested for Qin Chen to become the Elder King, although the Supreme Elders were shocked, they soon felt it was feasible.
Qin Chen’s strength and virtue were well-recognized by everyone.
If he were to take on the position of Elder King, no one would object.
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
...
One by one, the Supreme Elders expressed their approval.
Qin Chen had saved the Taiyi Holy Land from danger several times over the years, thus gaining the high approval of the higher-ups.
Qin Chen was also tempted, not only because he did not have to deal with many complicated affairs after becoming an Elder King, but more importantly, he would have power above the Holy Lord. In other words, he could enter the various places in the Taiyi Holy Land, including some forbidden areas that he could not enter before.
With that, he could unlock more places and check in to get more treasures.
This was exactly what Qin Chen wanted.
“Alright!” He nodded, “I’ll be the Elder King!”
With that, Qin Chen, a sweeping handyman, became the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land!
Hearing this, the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were all pleasantly surprised. A Venerable becoming the Holy Land’s Elder King was equivalent to the Taiyi Holy Land having a Venerable. From now on, no one would dare to bully the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the face of an unparalleled Venerable, no matter who it was, be it the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, or the ancient dynasties, they would have to think twice before making a move against the Holy Land.
“This is a jade token I made. If something happens to the Taiyi Holy Land, I’ll be the first to know,” After Qin Chen received the Elder King’s token, he threw a jade token to the Holy Lord and disappeared from everyone’s sight. His movements were silent and untraceable.
The Holy Lord and the others sighed. In the end, they still didn’t know the true identity of this new Elder King.
Although they were extremely curious about Qin Chen’s identity, it was not appropriate for them to ask him about it. They could see that this Elder King was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not like to be disturbed.
Ling Ran stared at Qin Chen’s departing figure. He looked almost the same as the one she saw that night. She was even more convinced that this old senior was the expert who had given her the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and the divine medicine.
After becoming the Elder King, Qin Chen did not feel much excitement. After all, he could even refuse the position of the Holy Lord. To him, if not for the fact that the Elder King had power that was no less than that of the Holy Lord which would allow him to walk around the forbidden lands of the Taiyi Holy Land, he would not even bother with this status.
In the end, he still had no intention of revealing his true identity.
Qin Chen knew that once his identity was revealed, he would attract the attention of the world.
Just think about it. A handyman in a Holy Land who was supposed to only have a mortal body and no cultivation became a top figure who could kill a Demonic Venerable in just 30 years. Many people even thought that he was a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. It would definitely attract attention.
On top of that, he had deduced that the ten thousand ancient races would soon reappear.
The ten thousand ancient races had a group of Sages, Sage Kings, and even Supreme Sages who were above the Bahuang Realm.
Most of the ancient races within the ten thousand ancient races did not wish for the human race to have a prodigy, especially someone with the Chaotic Holy Body like him because he could achieve reached a high cultivation realm in a very short time. If he was targeted by the ten thousand ancient races, it would be very dangerous.
Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen had to continue to hide and not let anyone know his true identity.
However, there were still some benefits to being the Elder King. He had higher authority than the Holy Lord.
Before long, news of the Taiyi Holy Land spread all over the world.
The entire Canglan Continent knew that the declining Taiyi Holy Land had a great Emperor’s palace. Moreover, a terrifying Demon King of the Bahuang Realm had appeared, killing many Kings of the major forces and causing heavy casualties.
The most shocking news was that in the declining Taiyi Holy Land, there was a powerful Venerable. It was his appearance that stopped the Demon King from killing the experts of all the major forces and saved the Taiyi Holy Land.
All of a sudden, it caused a great commotion, and many people turned their eyes to the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the current world, a King at the Qiyao Realm could be said to be the world’s top battle prowess. They dominated the world and found it difficult to even find an opponent.
As such, a Venerable who stood in the Bahuang Realm could rule the world, such as the great Venerable of the Nangong aristocratic family.
Without a Sage in this world, who could compete with a Venerable?!
Moreover, there was news that the Taiyi Holy Land had appointed the Venerable as the Elder King of the Holy Land. His status was extremely noble, putting the Venerable on the surface of the Taiyi Holy Land’s combat prowess.
Now, with a Venerable, even if the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, no one would dare to bully them.
The world sighed. Not only did the declining Taiyi Holy Land have a Holy Daughter with the Zixia Body, but now it also had a Venerable. This was a sign of its revival.
Qin Chen was not aware of the happenings in the outside world. After he obtained the status of Elder King, he immediately went to the ancestral land of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Sages’ Peak.
The Sages’ Peak was the burial grounds of the ancient Sages of the Taiyi Holy Land.
In the past, when the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak, Sages emerged one after another, generation after generation, never-ending. It was an extremely glorious period.
At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak. It dared to challenge the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties that had the inheritance of great emperors while not being at a disadvantage.
The Sages’ Peak was a magnificent mountain where many of the Sage ancestors were buried.
Here, Qin Chen felt an extremely strong divinity. The system also prompted him, so he checked in.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Sun Sage Robe as a reward!]
With that, a Sage Robe appeared in the system space. It was a holy weapon that seemed to be made of gold and was engraved with sage inscriptions. Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised.
A holy weapon was Sage’s weapon. A holy garment was especially precious because it could protect the whole body and resist many attacks.
Kacha!
The Sage Robe rushed out of the system space and was equipped on Qin Chen’s body. After a few clanks, it disappeared.
Wearing such a Sage Robe, one could withstand a Sage’s attack. It was a life-saving weapon.
Of course, Qin Chen could not let the Sage Robe be exposed all the time. Thus, the Sage Robe was put in his glabella and was worn on his tiny primordial spirit to protect his primordial spirit.
As expected of the Sages’ Peak where the Sages of past generations were buried. The divinity was indeed powerful. To think he would be rewarded with a holy weapon the first time he checked in, great!
