Dragon Robe!

Dragon Throne!

At this moment, Xiang Qianqiu had undergone a drastic transformation compared to before. He was shrouded in an aura of imposing majesty, making others' hearts tremble at the sight.

Xiang Qianqiu slowly raised his head, his eyes deep and profound, like an endless abyss. His expression was serene and indifferent, giving Chen Yuan a very familiar feeling.

Jingtai!

At this moment, how similar he was to the Jingtai of the past. If not for their different appearances, purely in terms of their demeanor, it was as if they were carved from the same mold.

"Chen Yuan... my son..."

Xiang Qianqiu's voice was somewhat deep as he called out again, his gaze falling on Chen Yuan, with a faint, light smile on his lips.

"Since I couldn't become the True Emperor, even being a false emperor in this Secret Realm isn't bad."

Chen Yuan said faintly.

"Indeed, originally, your father had a chance to ascend the throne, but unfortunately, because of you, everything was lost, all power vanished, and I had to lure you to this place.

To be honest, your father really regretted how I treated you back then. If I had kept you by my side and carefully taught you, perhaps today's scene wouldn't have happened."

Xiang Qianqiu's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him. By now, he no longer seemed impatient to take action.

This Secret Realm isolates them from the world, and they have plenty of time, no need to rush.

Even when the battle between Moluo and the founder of the Seven Killings Hall ended, Xiang Qianqiu was sure the other party couldn't find the location of this Secret Realm in the vast void.

This is the powerful foundation of the thousand-year Royal Family!

Even if the Dynasty perished, the Xiang Family still had the confidence to rise again.

"Unfortunately, there aren't that many 'ifs' in this world."

"Yes... so... your father now decides to give you a new opportunity. If we join forces as father and son, I will henceforth fully support you in ascending the throne.

But as a price, you need to change your surname to Xiang, replacing Chu with Yan."

"Haha, different situations indeed offer different terms." Chen Yuan unreservedly laughed. Previously, at the Goddess Palace, the terms proposed made him submit to the other party. The other party would become emperor, and Chen Yuan could only be the Crown Prince, with the throne passed to him only after the world was settled.

"That was then, this is now. Your father previously lost to you, so naturally, the conditions must be lowered; otherwise, you might think I'm talking nonsense."

"Your conditions are not unacceptable."

"So, does that mean you agree?"

Xiang Qianqiu leaned slightly forward, staring directly at Chen Yuan as he asked.

"I agree, but you must also agree to one condition of mine."

"Speak."

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said solemnly:

"What you desire, after all, is the revival of Chu. I can help you fulfill this wish, but the grudge between us cannot be settled so easily.

Right now, take your own life here, and use your death to wash away the grudges between us. How about writing off the past?"

"It seems you still lack sincerity."

Xiang Qianqiu frowned, a bit disappointed in his eyes. Chen Yuan's proposal was not unfamiliar; initially, before the Goddess Palace, this was his condition.

And now, it remains unchanged.

"It's you who's insincere."

"Are you so eager for my death? If your father were not dead, I could definitely become a great help to you in the future."

"As I said before, if you are not dead, my heart will never be at peace."

"Hehe, hahaha... you... are still too young, placing too much importance on emotions. Such a character won't make you a qualified emperor."

Xiang Qianqiu suddenly laughed.

"Then what do you think makes a qualified emperor?"

"Interest. Everything focuses on interest. My death only resolves our grudge, but if I'm not dead, do you know how much benefit you could gain?"

"No, your death is the best way to transform my interests into the greatest benefits." Chen Yuan did not trust Xiang Qianqiu, not at all, because the other party was just like him, prioritizing interest.

There's no guarantee he won't betray him one day.

Death is the most beneficial because Chen Yuan can gain heavenly guidance from the Qi Fortune on Xiang Qianqiu, thereby gaining opportunities to enhance his strength.

"Do you really think you can kill me?"

"Did you lead me here thinking you could kill me?"

Chen Yuan retorted.

Xiang Qianqiu's gaze suddenly focused, and in the next moment, an extremely terrifying aura surged, engulfing half of the Secret Realm. Simultaneously, a phantom flower appeared above his head.

That was condensed from rules!

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted deeply, full of shock. He hadn't expected Xiang Qianqiu to have elevated his cultivation to the Six Realms in the time that he was in seclusion for a breakthrough!

He had become a true Immortal!

"Now, do you still think you can kill me?"

"You've cultivated your Primordial Spirit to the Six Realms, does this mean... you've willingly severed the path of the six realms of the physical body? Or was the oath you previously made just spoken in passing?"

Chen Yuan asked seriously.

"I did not deceive you. To cultivate both the Six Realms and step onto the path of the Martial God, I must first break through the physical body, then the Primordial Spirit... it's just that...

Last time's defeat already lost me the opportunity. Waiting any longer would only worsen the situation, so as you rose to power, wanting to swallow the Central Plains, I measured things and decided to abandon that path." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xiang Qianqiu's tone was neither sad nor happy, but his expression still showed unmistakable desolation. After scheming for so many years, everything was lost in a day, forcing him onto this path.
