Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 250: The Vast World

Chapter 250: The Vast World

"Do you finally understand the precariousness of your own situation?" Prince Lin Yan looked at his younger brother and asked fiercely.

Lin Xiao nodded gravely. "Yes. I have to work harder if I want to get the throne because there are a lot of people who will stand on my way and stop me from getting what I should get."

"Cultivation world is dangerous. For someone like you to be able to survive this far is really lucky." Prince Lin Yan shook his head. He really wondered how Lin Xiao managed to survive with his lack of knowledge all this time.

The brat truly seemed to be an incompetent brat.

"Train here for some time and when the time is right, I’ll bring you out."

"Bring me out?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

Prince Lin Yan nodded. "You’re not going to grow much if you only encounter beasts but you need to hone your skill first. When you’re ready and had learned much more, I’ll take you to Hua Lan Kingdom."

Hua Lan Kingdom?

Lin Xiao’s mind automatically thought of Princess Lan Yi Hua’s kingdom. It was her kingdom and located right next to this mountain.

Uhm wait.

"How do we enter the kingdom?" Lin Xiao was more baffled. The security was high and even if they entered through areas of dispute, there was no telling when they were going to reach Hua Lan Kingdom.

Prince Lin Yan passed a look at his younger brother. "There’ll naturally be a way."

Lin Xiao: "..." we’re entering illegally?

"When your identity as Emperor’s Inheritance is leaked out, you’ll need a backup identity in case you want to roam around without anyone knowing who you are. I’ll prepare the identity for you."

Lin Xiao nodded and touched his headband lightly. Even if he wanted to disguise himself, he had to pay more attention to the mark on his forehead.

"When you’re stronger, you can hide it with your Qi." A certain dragon suddenly informed.

Lin Xiao’s face changed as he really wished to pull the dragon out. Why didn’t he tell him sooner about that?

"Why did you not tell me about that before?"

"You’re too weak!"

Lin Xiao: ".#$%^&*("

Prince Lin Yan waved his hand. "I’ll be going away for the time being. After a few months I’ll check on your progress. If you want to hunt, stay with others and the rest from your brothers’ group can go back."

"Ok."

It seemed at Prince Lin Yan didn’t trust those people around Prince Lin San and Prince Lin Xian too much. Probably there were actually some people who were from other princes got mixed in.

Lin Xiao chose not to ask too much since he was not close with those people either. During their time working together, he would always stay with his group. He returned back inside and stayed with the others to train.

...

Two months passed.

Prince Lin Xian broke through to Golden Core Stage and stayed for another month before returning back to the academy in order to do more important missions that’s suitable for his new stage.

Training in this place was no longer beneficial to him as he would need to head over to other places to train.

"There are other places to train?"

"Yes, this border is only border where we can fight with the beasts but there’s also the border where we have conflict with other kingdoms around us." Prince Lin Xian looked at Lin Xiao with weird expression. It was supposed to be common knowledge, right?

Sensing his questioning gaze, Lin Xiao felt as if he was given another hit to his already low intelligence.

*cough*

"Well, the relationship Sun Kingdom had with other neighboring kingdoms are not that peaceful." Princess Lan Yi Hua tried to salvage the situation. "This is why there’s also the treaty with Hua Lan kingdom."

Lin Xiao then looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua as he began to use his brain to think. "You mean that the treaty exists because Sun Kingdom needs Hua Lan Kingdom to face the others."

"You can say it like that. Also, the one who needs each other is not only Sun Kingdom but also Hua Lan Kingdom." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked into the distance. Her eyes dimmed slightly. "The world is so vast that it’s hard to say how big it is and there are numerous kingdoms out there.

Sun Kingdom, Lan Hua Kingdom, and others around us are just few amongst many other kingdoms in this land. Don’t you know why this place’s time is based on Tiancang Year?"

Tiancang.

Lin Xiao faintly recalled that it was the name of an Emperor from a large kingdom that was located far from their place. 200 something years ago, he established the new reign and since then, everyone began to use this time to refer in their own kingdom.

Sun Kingdom was under that kingdom as well.

"Because of the Emperor there?"

"Yes. The Emperor is so powerful that no one can contend against him. So many smaller kingdoms are also under him." Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled faintly and shook her head. "We’re all just from smaller kingdoms and might not even be able to reach there."

Lin Xiao was about to nod when he heard Lin Hu spoke from within deep of his consciousness.

"You’ll be there."

"What?"

Lin Hu scoffed but he refused to answer. Telling too much to this idiot would be overestimating his ability and right now, it would be better for Lin Xiao to focus on his own power.

Trying to head over to the big kingdoms with his pitiful strength... was the same as seeking death.

"Lin Xiao?" Princess Lan Yi Hua noticed that Lin Xiao was silent.

Lin Xiao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua and smiled. "If you want to head there, we will head there."

Princess Lan Yi Hua blinked her eyes and shook her head faintly. In that place, teenagers were already at Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core Stage. If they really wanted to head there... were they trying to seek their own death?
