Chapter 1:
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Qin Chen, from today onwards, you are no longer the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. You are now stripped of your Great Qin royal status."
"From here on, live with contentment in Taiyi Holy Land. Taiyi Holy Land has promised to let you cultivate while you are there. Even if that does not work out, you will at least be guaranteed safety for life."
"You can't blame the Great Qin Dynasty. You can only blame your mother for daring to plot treason and openly usurp power, causing great chaos in the dynasty."
"As well as yourself – although a prince, the flesh and blood of the great emperor, you're merely a mortal with no talent for cultivation."
"From today onwards, you are no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. And the dynasty will no longer recognize your status."
"In exempting you from punishment, and sending you to Taiyi Holy Land to cultivate and become its disciple, you are already being treated considerably well."
...
As Qin Chen stood on a cliff, the words of the dynasty experts who had sent him there kept replaying in his mind. As he gazed at the magnificent mountain range before him, his expression was one of confusion.
The truth was, he was not from that world, but had transmigrated from Earth to that world.
He had just transmigrated moments ago. His soul had entered the body of a 15-year-old young man named Qin Chen, and inherited all the memories of that body.
It was a world that belonged to cultivators. The land before him was called the Canglan Continent. It was vast and boundless, countless times larger than Earth. And had produced numerous top experts – experts with the power to move mountains and seas with the raise of a hand.
It even had ancient great emperors, above the heavens, who overlooked the vast, entire universe. They could devour the sun, moon and stars, and create the heavens and the earth. There was nothing they could not do.
Qin Chen had transmigrated into that kind of world to become the prince of an immortal divine dynasty.
The immortal divine dynasty remained one of the most powerful ancient inheritances left by an ancient great emperor on the Canglan Continent. It ruled over hundreds of millions of miles of territory in the Central Province, and had countless experts at its command.
As someone born into the imperial family of a divine dynasty, Qin Chen should have enjoyed riches and splendor, and become a powerful cultivator with the world at his feet and a bright future.
A pity that just after transmigration, before he could enjoy all that, the Great Qin Dynasty had stripped him of royalty and demoted him to commoner status. Then sent him far away from the Central Province to the southern wilderness, to Taiyi Holy Land, to become its disciple.
All because Qin Chen's mother had planned a rebellion to seize the throne. However, Qin Chen knew that it was the empress who had framed his mother.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Qin Chen's mother and the empress were both from extremely powerful royal factions within the Great Qin Dynasty. They were constantly vying for power. Unfortunately, Qin Chen's mother's faction was not as powerful as the empress'. In the end, she lost the latest battle, was framed and banished to the cold palace, never to be seen again.
The prince Qin Chen was also implicated. He was stripped of his royal status and made a commoner.
Qin Chen had not been imprisoned because he was merely a mortal, with a very low possibility of cultivating.
On account of his status, the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, in spite of his coldheartedness, ordered for Qin Chen to be sent to Taiyi Holy Land. Even if Qin Chen could not be an esteemed prince of the divine dynasty, he could at least be protected for life.
However, Qin Chen would never be able to rise to the top again.
Moreover, Taiyi Holy Land was no longer a place of splendor. It had completely declined since the ancient times. It retained the title "Holy Land" in name only.
"Qin Chen," Taiyi Holy Land's Supreme Elder took a look at the 15-year-old boy and examined him. He could sense that although the youth was a prince of the divine dynasty, both his talent and body were ordinary. No wonder he did he not get any recognition from the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Supreme Elder!"
Qin Chen, who had just inherited his identity, understood the situation he was in perfectly. He knew that the Supreme Elder before him was the true leader of Taiyi Holy Land. For the sake of his future, he bowed respectfully without delay.
When he saw that, the Supreme Elder nodded slightly. At least the fallen prince understood the situation. If he still dared to brandish his position as a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Supreme Elder would not hesitate to teach him a lesson. So his expression softened, and he said, "You know that you are now no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and cannot reveal that information to anyone. Now that you have entered our Taiyi Holy Land, start from the bottom. From today onwards, report to the handyman yard and start as a handyman disciple."
"This is my token. Show it to the elders of the handyman yard, and they will make arrangements for you. Go!"
After he finished, a token appeared in front of Qin Chen.
Qin Chen was a prince of the divine dynasty, after all. But he was born with a mortal body that was difficult to cultivate. Even as Supreme Elder, he could not make Qin Chen an official disciple. Otherwise, it would cause unhappiness among the other disciples, and bring harm to Qin Chen instead.

A handyman disciple was not bad either. He could live a peaceful life. With the Supreme Elder's token, no one in Taiyi Holy Land would dare to bully Qin Chen.
The Supreme Elder cast a look of pity on Qin Chen, then soared into the sky. He soon disappeared, leaving behind an envious Qin Chen.
After transmigrating to that world, who wouldn't want to become a super expert who could fly through the heavens and move mountains and seas?
But he was aware of his mortal body and slim chances of cultivation. It was simply impossible to reach that kind of level.
Qin Chen knew that handyman disciples were the lowest level disciples in Taiyi Holy Land. They could not even be considered official disciples. But he also understood the Supreme Elder's good intentions.
Chapter 2:
However, with the Supreme Elder's token, the handyman yard would not dare to make things difficult for him. He probably would not need to do difficult chores.
Very quickly, Qin Chen headed to the handyman yard. True enough, the elders of the handyman yard did not make things difficult for him due to the token. They just let him be a sweeper handyman, who performed simple cleaning around the Holy Land daily.
But a lot of gossip spread within Taiyi Holy Land. It was not clear where they had heard the rumors from. Qin Chen had apparently been the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had just been demoted to commoner status, sent far away from the Central Province, and now reduced to a handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land.
As a result, a lot of official disciples – and even handyman disciples – gossiped and pointed whenever they saw Qin Chen.
Qin Chen could only smile bitterly in response. He had no other choice.
Fortunately, because of the Supreme Elder's token, those people could occasionally mock him, but did not dare to bully him physically.
Before he knew it, Qin Chen had been in that world for one year. He had gotten used to things.
Although he was not able to cultivate immortality, he could cultivate ordinary martial arts to strengthen his body.
Although Taiyi Holy Land was an immortal cultivation sect, it still offered many ordinary martial arts for cultivation.
That day, Qin Chen officially turned 16.
In that world, the age of 16 signified the beginning of adulthood. But no one celebrated for Qin Chen. He had no plans to celebrate either. As usual, he proceeded to a cliff to sweep, intending to spend his first birthday as an adult uneventfully.
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations, you have completed the system's one-year survival test. The system will now be officially activated.]
[System activation in progress...]
Qin Chen suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his head. His heart stopped.
"The system!"
Qin Chen was shocked. In the past year, he had gradually accepted his reality. He thought that he would be a sweeper handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land for the rest of his life.
He never expected to activate the legendary system on his 16th birthday.
He was aware of the system. It was a huge cheating device!
"I wonder what kind of system it will be?"
Qin Chen was full of anticipation.
He did not have to wait long. Soon, the system's voice sounded in his head again:[System successfully activated. Please check in.]
[You may check in to any place between heaven and earth that contains divinity.]
[However, you may only check in once a day.]
[The higher the divinity of the place, the greater the reward for checking in.]
[You may check in repeatedly at certain places.]
Places with divinity?
Qin Chen understood instantly. The so-called divinity was places with Dao runes between heaven and earth. Some were innate, such as chaotic pure lands, ancestral vessels, spirit vessels, divine trees, divine herbs, and so on.
And some were man-made, such as places with marks left behind by top experts, great emperor training halls, an emperor's tomb, and the Nine Forbidden Grounds of Canglan Continent.
But he could only check in once a day. His first chance should not go to waste.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
"It was not easy to awaken the system. It means there's hope for me to cultivate. I mustn't waste this great opportunity. I have to find a good place to check in."
Qin Chen was both surprised and delighted. The appearance of the system had reignited his dormant thoughts of cultivation.
After all, after transmigrating to that kind of world, who wouldn't want to become a super expert who could move freely in the world without obstruction? Especially like the masters of ancient holy lands, aristocratic families and dynasties, also known as kings. They were free to do anything and commanded the respect and obedience of everyone.
It was just that the elders of both the Great Qin Dynasty and Taiyi Holy Land had judged that his talent and body were very ordinary. It would be too difficult for him to enter the path of cultivation. His hopes were slim. As such, Qin Chen had given up on the idea of cultivation.
Now, the appearance of the system had reignited Qin Chen's hopes.
For his first check-in, he would definitely choose a place where an ancient great emperor had left his mark. Ancient great emperors were the gods of that world. It was said that they had the power to pluck stars and swallow moons, and were unbelievably terrifying. They were the supreme gods in the eyes of the people.
In that world, many immortal dynasties, holy lands and aristocratic families had produced great emperors. The Great Qin Dynasty, for example, definitely had places where ancient great emperors had left traces. The divinity of those places would definitely be very strong, and he was very likely to obtain good rewards if he checked in there.
But Qin Chen was only a mortal now. Not to mention the distance, he did not even have the right to get close to those places.
It would have to be in Taiyi Holy Land first.
Taiyi Holy Land had declined significantly, but it was still a holy land. However, its land area was too wide, with a radius of thousands of miles.
Qin Chen was just a sweeper handyman. In the past year, he had only gone nearby and had not been to many places in the holy land. So for a moment, he was at a loss as to where to check in.
"That's right. I've heard of an ancient place in the holy land. It's thought to be a place where an ancient great emperor once walked across. That ancient great emperor was the strongest in history, overlooking the universe. The places he's walked across must have tremendous divinity!"
Qin Chen suddenly recalled an ancient cliff in Taiyi Holy Land. An ancient great emperor was rumored to have stayed and left a pair of footprints there.
Of course, it was just a rumor. When Taiyi Holy Land was still on par with immortal holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, it possessed great talent and power. Emperors had even commissioned peerless experts to personally explore the cliff. However, they did not find anything special and wrote it off as a rumor in the end.
Over time, no one paid attention to that cliff. It had even been covered in dust for many years, and not many people went there.
Although there was a high possibility that it was just a rumor, Qin Chen decided to head there for his first check-in. If it truly was a place walked on by the great emperor, he would definitely obtain a good reward.
If not, it was just a one-day check-in opportunity. He would not consider it a big loss. At most, he could just check in the next day.
He had already waited 16 years. He did not mind waiting just one more day.
Four hours later, Qin Chen finally reached the location of the ancient great emperor's footprint after staggering up the mountain, panting.
It could not be helped. Taiyi Holy Land was simply too big. The destination was hundreds of miles from where he was, and the mountains along the way were towering. Qin Chen was fit and strong, having cultivated martial arts, but it still took him four hours.
It was not easy to find the place that the ancient great emperor was thought to have left his mark. Qin Chen looked at a not-too-tall cliff in front of him. The cliff was overgrown with weeds – all except an area 20 to 30 feet wide. There was not a single weed in sight, and it was free from dust all-year-round.
In the center was a pair of footprints. They were faint, but had been imprinted on the cliff for hundreds of thousands of years without being eroded.
[Ding dong!]
[A remnant with extremely high divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?]
[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]

Suddenly, the voice of the system appeared in his head.
After receiving the system notification, Qin Chen was convinced that it was the place where the ancient great emperor had left his mark. He immediately said silently, "System, I want to check in here!"
At the next moment.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the place where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor has left his mark. You have obtained the Chaotic Holy Body!]
The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Qin Chen's head.
Chapter 3:
Qin Chen was stunned beyond belief.
The Chaotic Holy Body!
He had actually obtained the strongest body type in the universe!
It was the body type of a great emperor unrivaled in his generation – the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Legend has it that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was invincible all his life. Whatever enemy he encountered, he shoved aside. If a god obstructed his way, he would kill the god. If a Buddha obstructed his way, he would kill the Buddha.
During that period, gods, demons and Buddhas alike, both ancient and modern, were all defeated by him.
Commander of the heavens, and respected by all realms!
That sentence most aptly described the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
He was one of the most powerful great emperors throughout history – the Heavenly Emperor!
And the Chaotic Holy Body remained the number one body type all the way from ancient times to present.
That type of body was said to be unparalleled in the universe. It was naturally able to refine tens of thousands of Daos. With cultivation, it could swiftly break all kinds of records, travel a thousand miles a day, and break the boundaries of various realms. Eventually, the owner could become a god and challenge the throne!
Qin Chen never expected that the footprint in that place had been left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
What was more surprising was that he would no longer have a mortal body, but the legendary Chaotic Holy Body.
While he was still taking all that in, Qin Chen felt an extremely mysterious, clear stream surge into his body. Then, all kinds of changes started taking place throughout his body. Instantly, his body seemed to be filled with infinite power.
It had transformed to become the Chaotic Holy Body!
But what troubled Qin Chen was that although he now had the Chaotic Holy Body, the more powerful the body type, the more difficult to cultivate. He would need a suitable sutra to truly unleash the potential of the Chaotic Holy Body.
Should he cultivate ordinary sutras, he would only wastefully destroy the Chaotic Holy Body. His foundation would be average, and unable to cultivate to the highest levels.
"A pity. If the Chaotic Imperial Sutra was given as well, it would be perfect when cultivated together with the Chaotic Holy Body.
Qin Chen was left with some regret. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was still the most suitable sutra to cultivate with. It was an imperial sutra specially created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor for the Chaotic Holy Body. It could make full use of the Chaotic Holy Body's potential, and allow for foundation establishment.
However, it was not in his possession. He could only look for other sutras to cultivate with.
Of course, if he checked in again, would he be able to get the matching Chaotic Imperial Sutra?
BOOM!
As soon as Qin Chen obtained the Chaotic Holy Body, the great emperor's footprints on the cliff shone with a blinding brilliance that shot into the sky.
It was as if a supreme great emperor had descended there.
It jolted the whole of Taiyi Holy Land and the immense pressure caused every person, big or small, to freeze. They looked towards the cliff in shock, "This pressure... It's coming from the cliff. Could that really be the footprints left by an ancient great emperor?"
Only Qin Chen could move. When the great emperor's pressure appeared, he felt his body undergo a wonderful transformation, and the blood in his body boil.
Crackle crackle.
All his bones and flesh trembled as they underwent thorough cleansing.
After a long time, a thick, foul-smelling substance appeared all over Qin Chen's body. He knew that it was the impurities in his body being expelled. His entire body felt significantly more refreshed.
It was probably caused by the resonance between the Chaotic Holy Body and the footprints left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Qin Chen felt extremely uncomfortable and left quickly.
He was a lot more relaxed than before when he left, and no longer exhausted. It took less than two hours to return to his residence.
Not long after, the phenomenon disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
A group of experts from Taiyi Holy Land, led by the Holy Lord, rushed to the cliff with the emperor's footprints. But they did not see anyone. They were baffled as to why the footprints of the ancient great emperor would be activated.
Fortunately, it was only a trace of the great emperor's majesty. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to withstand it.
After the phenomenon disappeared, the Holy Lord, elders and other high-level persons of the holy land examined the footprints for a long time, but came up with nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to leave.
They could never have imagined that the person who had caused the emperor footprint phenomenon to appear was a mere sweeper handyman disciple.
After Qin Chen returned to his residence and took a bath, he had a feel of his newly-gotten strength.
There was no one around him. He glanced at a huge rock the size of a house, wrapped both hands around it, and actually lifted it into the air, which showed his unbelievable strength.
Although he had been cultivating martial arts, it had only improved his fitness. It was good enough to have great strength at that time. But now, his strength had multiplied more than ten times.
And that was before cultivation. The Chaotic Holy Body had natural divine strength. Once he started cultivation, his strength would increase at an even more shocking pace.

The next day, Qin Chen sneaked back to the place with the emperor's mark. After ascertaining that no one was around, he spoke silently to the system, "I want to check in here!"
BOOM!
The phenomenon appeared once again!
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Chaotic Imperial Sutra as a reward!"]
In his head, a divine book appeared. As he opened the first page, a profound passage of sutra instantly appeared and was rapidly imprinted on his mind.
The Chaotic Imperial Sutra had appeared in Qin Chen's mind. He was stunned. He could not believe that he had obtained the legendary Chaotic Imperial Sutra on his second check-in.
That was an immortal imperial sutra created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was second to none from past to present. A sutra created specifically for the Chaotic Holy Body.
The first time he checked in, he had obtained the Chaotic Holy Body.
The second time he checked in, he obtained the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
It was as if everything had been arranged specially for him!
Qin Chen controlled the impulse to cultivate, because the emperor's light had reappeared. Anything could happen any moment. He should not stay for long.
Moreover, he did not know what would happen if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with the Chaotic Holy Body. It was safer to go back to his residence to cultivate.
After Qin Chen left, the Holy Lord and a group of elders appeared once again. Although the phenomenon had already disappeared, it had occurred two days in a row, which naturally raised questions.
Could it be a sign that the ancient great emperor's relic was about to appear?
After all, the birth of a relic was usually accompanied by a strange phenomenon.
Not to mention, no one knew why the ancient great emperor had specially left a pair of footprints there.
Soon, Qin Chen arrived at his residence and found a relatively hidden location. In recent years, very few from the sect had walked by that place. He began to cultivate.
As he started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with great anticipation, he realized something. Although vigorous spiritual energy was entering his body, no matter how he tried, he could not enter the first human body cultivation realm – Yiyuan!
In immortal cultivation on the Canglan Continent, cultivation realms were segregated into: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian and Shifang. Each realm was then further divided into nine levels of heavens.
To cultivate, it was necessary to step into the Yiyuan Realm and open up a divine sea in the body.
The divine sea was located at the dantian. It needed to be opened up and expanded, and transformed into a divine sea that stored divine power.
Qin Chen instantly understood. The Chaotic Holy Body was just too extraordinary. If he wanted to open his dantian to become a divine sea, he required a large amount of spiritual energy to succeed.
Otherwise, he would not be able to open his divine sea even if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
But where could he find large amounts of spiritual energy? Only in the immortal caves of high level people within the holy land. But he would never be allowed to set foot there.
The best alternative was to look for spirit stones.
A spirit stone was the product of crystallization of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contained large amounts of that energy.
Qin Chen was concerned about that. Taiyi Holy Land had long declined. It was not like other holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, which had large numbers of spirit mines. Taiyi Holy Land only had a few spirit mines at present. Moreover, they were relatively barren with low annual output.
Many elders themselves were only allocated a small number of spirit stones. Not to mention a mere handyman disciple – he was even less qualified to receive spirit stones.
Qin Chen was greatly troubled. He had shed his mortal body, but was still unable to cultivate.
At that point, Qin Chen could only hope to earn spirit stones when he checked in at other places within Taiyi Holy Land.
The next day, Qin Chen checked in at a different place. The mark of the emperor had shown movement two days in a row, and definitely attracted the attention of various high-level figures in Taiyi Holy Land. It was not convenient to check in again so soon. So he went to a great hall in Taiyi Holy Land.
It was a huge, magnificent hall. The Main Hall of Taiyi Holy Land. Holy Lords from past dynasties had all been there, so it should have good divinity.
More importantly, when Qin Chen swept the floor, he liked to enter the library to read the classics. He knew that the location of Taiyi Main Hall had undergone careful consideration. The founder of Taiyi Holy Land had specially chosen that place to build the hall. Buried underground were dragon vessels, intersecting numerous spirit vessels. It was definitely no ordinary place.
When Taiyi Holy Land was flourishing, generations of holy lands had used Taiyi Main Hall as a cultivation ground.
Of course, now that it had declined, the dragon vessels were nowhere to be found, and the spirit vessels had pretty much dried up.
However, he had a high chance of getting treasures like spirit stones from checking in to such a place.
[The system has detected a strong divinity here. Would you like to check in at Taiyi Main Hall?]

[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]
Even the system had confirmed his suspicions. He had to check in there.
"System, I want to check in!"
Qin Chen said silently in his head.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have obtained a Divine Spirit Source!]
Chapter 4:
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qin Chen was extremely surprised. He had actually obtained the Divine Spirit Source.
Spirit stones were the resources of the cultivation world. They contained an abundance of spiritual energy, and could help cultivators increase their cultivation speed.
But there were different levels of spirit stones. The Divine Spirit Source belonged to the highest level. It was equivalent to the refining of innumerable spirit stones on a large scale. Even with hundreds of spirit vessels, a Divine Spirit Source usually did not appear.
Moreover, the Divine Spirit Source rewarded by the system was the size of a human head, about one-tenth of a cubic meter. It was equivalent to at least three to four hundred thousand pounds of ordinary spiritual stones. Its value was priceless.
Qin Chen did not expect to receive a Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall.
It was a huge surprise. Obtaining the Divine Spirit Source meant that he could start his cultivation journey smoothly, open up his Divine Sea, and become a truly formidable cultivator.
Of course, Qin Chen did not take out the Divine Spirit Source immediately. It contained quite powerful spiritual energy. If he rashly took it out of the system space, he would be easily detected.
Taiyi Holy Land was a very big place. Back then, it was an immortal holy land that ruled over the southern wilderness. Its land area was vast and wide, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
Qin Chen had been a handyman disciple for a while, so naturally he had discovered quite a number of secret locations. Therefore, after returning, he searched for a relatively hidden cave. For years, not a single person had been seen there. Moreover, he was going deep into the cave, so any movements could be easily concealed.
Besides, Taiyi Holy Land was way too big. It was not easy for him to be discovered.
Qin Chen took out the Divine Spirit Source from the system space, and started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
At first, the dantian in his body felt rigid. But after continuous absorption of magnificent spiritual energy from the Divine Spirit Source, it expanded rapidly. Waves of divine power appeared, having been transformed from spiritual energy by the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, and filled the divine sea.
The Chaotic Holy Body was the best body type from past to present. And the divine power being produced was derived from cultivating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with that body. Just then, a divine power ocean with glowing golden ripples emerged. It looked like a trembling golden ocean, with surging, raging waves. It was a terrifying sight.
A blinding golden light shone from within his body, illuminating the entire cave.
Fortunately, he was inside a cave. It would have been dangerous if that had been discovered by the outside world.
BOOM! BOOM!
While he was cultivating, Qin Chen felt the blood energy throughout his body circulating. A powerful energy surged in his body, increasing his strength significantly.
After successfully opening his divine sea, and entering the first human body realm – Yiyuan Realm, Qin Chen officially became a cultivator.
He was no longer a mortal, but a cultivator who could defy the heavens.
Qin Chen was elated. One day, he would finally be able to become a true cultivator who could defy the heavens.
If he cultivated to a high level, he would be able to fly in the sky, burrow into the ground and do many other great things. He might even reach the levels of the ancient great emperors.
Qin Chen continued to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra without ceasing.
After a day and night of cultivation, he finally stopped. He did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and full of energy, as if he could kill a scaled dragon with a single punch.
He was not afraid of being discovered because the system could conceal everything. Even the Holy Lord would not notice that Qin Chen had successfully opened his divine sea.
When he returned to the handyman yard, everything was as per normal. The elder in charge of the handyman yard and other handyman disciples did not notice that Qin Chen had disappeared for a full day and night.
Taiyi Holy Land was just too big. Each sweeper handyman was responsible for a large area that could take ten days or even half a month to finish. As long as their areas were sufficiently clean, the handyman elders could not be bothered.
That was exactly what Qin Chen wanted. After all, it would be normal for him to disappear for a few days while cultivating.
When he returned, it was already dark.
His residence was a small wooden house, and there was another old handyman inside drinking wine.
The old handyman was already more than 70 years old. Although lacking in talent, he was still an Yiyuan Realm cultivator who had opened his divine sea. So he could, to a certain extent, extend his life. Therefore, he only looked 40 or 50 years old.
Since Qin Chen arrived more than a year ago, the old handyman had taken good care of him, and never laughed at him.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
He was eating and drinking wine at that moment. It was one of the few pleasures he had.
"Senior."
Qin Chen went forward to greet the old handyman. They sat down together, lifted their bowls and started to eat.
The food was provided by Taiyi Holy Land's food court. It was made of some herbs and contained just a bit of spiritual energy, which was beneficial to the body. Of course, that was mainly meant for the ordinary disciples.
The old handyman was eating, when he suddenly looked at Qin Chen in surprise. The fallen prince looked different that day. He had grown a little taller and his eyes were bright. Something had definitely changed.
Could he have succeeded in opening his Divine Sea?
However, when he examined carefully, he did not sense the aura of a divine sea.
The old handyman sighed softly. He was thinking too much.
Qin Chen glanced at the old handyman. He knew that there was no need to worry about the old handyman's actions. With the system's concealment, even the Holy Lord would not be able to detect anything, let alone an old Yiyuan Realm handyman.
He could not tell anyone about his ability to cultivate, the old handyman included.
Once he was exposed, it would not just be a question of whether he would be able to cultivate. It would also expose the Chaotic Holy Body and even the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
An ordinary man is innocent, but guilty if he possesses treasure!
He believed that many super experts in that world would be willing to fight tooth and nail for the Chaotic Holy Body and Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
The two handymen had a simple chat and ended it there.
The next day, Qin Chen did not go to Taiyi Main Hall because it would be suspicious if a handyman disciple appeared two days in a row. Instead, he went to a waterfall where official disciples of the holy land cultivated. He could sense that the spiritual energy there was rich.
The waterfall was three thousand feet high, producing clouds of mist. Cranes soared in the sky, and spirit deer galloped. It was a fairyland-like scene.
There were many official disciples cultivating in front of the waterfall, absorbing spiritual energy.
Many of them were the same age as Qin Chen, and had already opened up their divine sea. Some were even in the Liangyi Realm, which was considered outstanding at that age.
"Oh, it's the fallen prince."
"What prince? Don't forget, he's been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty and is no longer a prince."
"If I were the Great Qin Dynasty, I would not want to acknowledge such a useless mortal as a prince either."
When those official disciples saw that Qin Chen had arrived, they merely shot him an indifferent glance. They were somewhat arrogant.
After all, they were official disciples who had opened up their divine seas and embarked on the true path of cultivation. In future, they would be reaching the Sancai Realm, with hopes of even becoming experts of the Sixiang Realm, doing magnificent things. On the other hand, handyman disciples of that sort often had no hope of cultivating in their entire lives.
Even if they could cultivate, they would only be able to reach the Yiyuan Realm at most. If they were lucky, they might even reach Liangyi Realm. But that was it.
The gap between them would only grow wider over time!
However, they could not help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at that divine dynasty prince. They should have been looking up to him. But now he was just a handyman disciple, looking up to them instead.

Qin Chen took note of the disciples' expressions, but did not say anything. He had already gotten used to it.
Moreover, he was now able to cultivate, and was even the successor to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor with the Chaotic Holy Body. He was destined to rise from the dust. His heart had suddenly opened, and he could not be bothered to argue with those people.
Low-key cultivation was the way to go.
Suddenly, a young lady in a long white dress appeared. She had an oval face, and her skin was as white as snow. She was 28 years old. The lady was extremely beautiful and attracted the attention of all the disciples present.
"Oh my God, it's Senior Ling Ran. Even she has come here!"
Chapter 5:
The appearance of the girl in white had attracted the attention of all the disciples who were present. They began to discuss among themselves.
"Senior Ling Ran won the favor of the current Holy Lord, and he personally took her in as his direct disciple. I've heard that her physique is extraordinary. It's the legendary King Body. At the age of 13, she had already reached the Liangyi Realm. And in the past three years, she has probably reached the Sancai Realm already."
"I heard she already reached the Sancai Realm three months ago. There aren't many disciples of the same generation who are at that realm in the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, not to mention Senior Ling Ran is only 16 years old this year. We're the same age, but she's already a powerful cultivator in the Sancai Realm. She really puts us to shame."
"Soon, the holy land will be selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter. With Senior Ling Ran's talent and age, she has a high chance of being selected!"
Many of the disciples spoke in quiet voices. They looked towards Ling Ran, the Holy Lord's direct disciple, all of them envious.
She had the legendary King Body, superb talent, and was the direct disciple of the incumbent Holy Lord. She definitely had a high chance of succeeding the current Holy Daughter.
Qin Chen could not help but glance at Ling Ran. Her beauty was indeed out of this world. Her every move exhibited a different kind of charm, and she seemed to be one with heaven and earth.
Moreover, to have reached the Sancai Realm at that age, she must be very strong.
One had to understand that each of the 10 major realms in the cultivation world were as different as heaven and earth.
Opening the divine sea, entering the Yiyuan Realm and officially becoming a cultivator was merely the starting point.
Any Yiyuan Realm cultivator would have the strength of tens of thousands of pounds. In the mortal world, one could become the most powerful general, far exceeding ordinary people.
Entering the Liangyi Realm meant that one had the ability to fly in the air and burrow underground. In the mortal world, many would consider the person immortal.
Upon reaching the Sancai Realm, the cultivator's spiritual wisdom would be greatly broadened, and he or she would begin to understand the spirits. The cultivator would be able to split mountains and cleave stones, with terrifying strength.
...
The increase in abilities from one major realm to another was not as simple as one plus one.
If not for the system, Qin Chen would not have been able to open his divine sea, let alone possess the Chaotic Holy Body.
Ling Ran was about the same age, but had already reached the Sancai Realm. Among the numerous disciples in Taiyi Holy Land, she was definitely outstanding. She had even been accepted as the direct disciple of the Taiyi Holy Lord in advance. Her future prospects were limitless.
Before he had gotten the system, he would have had to look up to her, as if she was a cherished daughter of heaven.
Ling Ran had a cold expression. Wherever she went, the other disciples made way. But she did not stay there. Soon after, she rode on a long rainbow and left through the sky, leaving her beautiful backview.
"What a pity. I thought Senior Ling Ran would be cultivating here."

"You were over optimistic. Senior Ling Ran is a direct disciple of the Holy Lord and a candidate for Holy Daughter. She receives a special supply of spirit stones for cultivation every month, and has her own personal cultivation cave. She doesn't need to work so hard to cultivate like us ordinary disciples."
As a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, and a candidate for Holy Daughter, naturally her treatment was different from the rest. She had a personal cultivation cave and spirit stones given to her for cultivation.
Qin Chen briefly glanced at the beautiful figure of the Holy Daughter candidate Ling Ran as she left, before immediately saying silently, "System, I want to check in here!"
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded 100 exotic spirit stones – Purple Crystals.]
In the system space, 100 different types of Purple Crystals appeared. As exotic spirit stones, each one was equivalent to 30 pounds of spirit stones. In total, they were equivalent to 3,000 pounds of spirit stones.
"What a pity, such a small amount of spirit stones."
Qin Chen mumbled in disappointment. Compared to the Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall, it was almost a hundred times worse.
However, it made sense. Taiyi Main Hall had been built on the intersection of past dragon vessels and origin vessels. Plus, its terrain was extraordinary. The place he was at was merely a cultivation location for ordinary disciples. Getting 3,000 pounds worth of spirit stones in exotic Purple Crystals was already pretty good.
If the other disciples found out, they would certainly be appalled.
Because they were only allocated a spirit stone the size of a baby's fist each month – not even half a pound.
Even Ling Ran, a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, as well as many other elders, could only obtain up to 1,000 pounds of spirit stones a month.
Yet, he had looked down on his large number of spirit stones. He should be ashamed.
After that, Qin Chen returned to the hidden cave. This time, he took out the exotic spirit stones to cultivate. He operated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and continuously devoured spiritual energy from the exotic spirit stones, transforming them into his own divine power. His cultivation was steadily improving.
Before he realized it, a month had passed since Qin Chen first obtained the check-in system.
The place with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor's footprint was being heavily monitored by the holy land. And Taiyi Main Hall was not a place he could casually visit. So during that period of time, Qin Chen had basically checked in to various small places nearby. Of course, the divinity of those places were far inferior to those at Taiyi Main Hall and the place with the emperor's mark, and so were the check-in rewards he received.

As for other places that might contain powerful divinity, they were either important or forbidden areas within the holy land, not places that ordinary people could set foot on.
Furthermore, those places were far away. Therefore, before Qin Chen had reached a sufficiently high cultivation level, he did not dare to take the risk.
Even so, by checking in, Qin Chen had earned heaps of spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, precious medicine, extraordinary materials for the forging of weapons, and so on.
If information about those treasures were to get out, it would be enough to make the elders of Taiyi Holy Land – even the supreme elders – green with envy.
After a month of cultivation, the 100 Purple Crystals had been completely exhausted.
