Chapter 1602 - The Royal Spirit Ceremony

”Jiu Ling, it seems that the person with the candle is very fond of you. In the end, you directly splashed cold water on his face.” Seeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh, the sound going straight into her ears. After that humiliation, the only thing left of Yin Zhu’s hatred towards the Nine Spirits was hatred.

”Big brother, don’t disgust me anymore.”

Jiu Ling opened and closed her mouth, revealing a look of disgust. The disdain on her face intensified. ”With just its kind of people, how could laozi take a liking to it?”

Seeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh, and then said: ”Are you confident in the ’Royal Spirit Ceremony’?”

Before this, the undead spirits that Tang Huan had searched for souls were not under the command of the Eastern Emperor. However, based on their memories, Tang Huan had some understanding of the situation of the Eastern Emperor.

The so-called ”Royal Spirit Ceremony” was a competition that the Eastern Emperor would select a new prince for.

After the selection of the new prince ended, a new competition would be held between all the princes. The ranking would be decided based on the outcome. This ranking determined all the cultivation resources the princes would be able to obtain in the next two years. The higher one’s ranking was, the more resources one would have.

”It shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you to advance.”

”In the last Royal Spirit Ceremony, I was ranked 96. This time, I should be able to enter the top 90.”

”That’s good enough.”

Tang Huan laughed, ”That Yin Zhu is also a prince, right?”

Under the command of the four emperors, the number of princes was astonishing. Take the Eastern Emperor for example. He had exactly a hundred princes under his command, and this wasn’t the largest of them all. Among the princes under the Southern Emperor and the Western Emperor, one was more than 150, while the other was more than 200. The number of princes under the Northern Emperor was at least eighty.

In this ”Royal Spirit Ceremony”, ten new princes will be chosen. In the following matches, the last ten princes who were originally ranked among the one hundred will be eliminated. Adding the ten new princes, there were a hundred of them. When it came to the next ”Royal Spirit Ceremony”, it went through another cycle.

Regardless of whether it was under the Eastern Emperor’s command, or the Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, or the Northern Emperor, the prince was always the focus of attention.

Elders, as well as successors to the throne, were all born from princes.

”That’s right.”

Nine Spirits lightly nodded. ”This Yin Candle seems to be ranked 95th, just in front of me. For this’ Royal Spirit Ceremony ’, I will definitely surpass it.”

At this point, Nine Spirits suddenly thought of something and said, ”Big Brother, how about you attend the ’Royal Spirit Ceremony’ in half a year. With your strength, you’ll definitely be able to pass the selection and become one of the ten new princes.”

”Me too?”

Tang Huan was a little stunned.

Nine spirits flapped their wings a few times. ”Right, let’s do it, big brother. As long as it was a rank 14 or below 100 years old, they could participate. The body that you have transformed into is a 16th Ranked Death Spirit, and the age it appears to be around fifty years old, it completely meets the requirements. ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Her two large, colorful eyes carefully sized up Tang Huan for a moment, and then immediately nodded happily. ”That’s right, about fifty years old, the age of this dead spirit body seems to be similar to your original age.”

”Jiu Ling, you’re thinking too highly of yourself.”

Tang Huan frowned slightly, then shook her head. ”Then, the Eastern Emperor will most likely be participating in the ’Royal Spirit Ceremony’. My identity as a dead spirit can hide from other dead spirits, but if I were to fight, I’m afraid I would expose myself in front of the Eastern Emperor. Once we are exposed, both of us will be doomed. ”

The four great undead emperors were all supreme experts of the 30th step.

In front of that level of undead spirit expert, if Tang Huan’s identity was exposed, even if she possessed a treasure like the ”Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace”, it would probably not be of much use, because she would be crushed into ashes before she could even enter the cave. In a situation where participation was not an inevitable event, there was no need for Tang Huan to take such a risk.

”Big brother, you’re wrong about that.”

Nine Spirits laughed. ”Why would a supreme expert like the Eastern Emperor participate in the tiny ’Royal Spirit Ceremony’? Although I participated in the last grand ceremony and was conferred the title of a prince, I haven’t even seen a few elders, much less the Eastern Emperor. The entire ceremony will be hosted by two elders. ”

His voice paused slightly, then he added, ”Reportedly, those two Elders are ranked rather low under the Eastern Emperor.”

”However, Big Brother’s considerations are also correct.”

”There’s still half a year left anyway, so there’s no rush. After we go to Dongming City half a year later, we’ll find out about the situation of the ’Royal Spirit Ceremony’ and whether or not that Eastern Emperor will participate in the Grand Ceremony. Then, we can make a decision after that.”

”That’s true. If he doesn’t appear, there’s no harm in participating.” Tang Huan laughed.

”Yes, Big Brother. Let’s go to another place to stay first. My Consonance Palace will take some time to rebuild.” Ai ai, just now I shouldn’t have let that perverted guy go so easily, I have to make him compensate my losses. If it wasn’t for that, my Consonance Palace wouldn’t need to be rebuilt. ” Jiu Ling was slightly vexed.

”...”

Tang Huan was speechless.

Nine Spirits’ New Residence was a very small palace in the northern part of the city. Nine Spirits needed to shrink their bodies in order to enter.

”Big brother, what is this?” After a long while, within the Supreme Mystery Temple, the nine spirits looked at the ball of white liquid in front of them and asked in surprise.

”Grandmist Immortal Elixir!”

Tang Huan said with a smile.

Ever since he had left the ”Pond of Destiny”, he had been refining the water where the sucking had come from. This primordial immortal liquid had always been stored within the hall and had never been touched.

”Big Brother took the ’primordial immortal liquid’ from the ’Suicide Pool’ at Black Sword Mountain?” Nine spirits were even more surprised.

”Exactly.”

Tang Huan smiled and explained the situation before, then laughed: ”That group of cultivators took the risk to come here to retrieve the pool water, I don’t know why they did that. However, it was fortunate that they were outside attracting the attention of the dead spirits, so I was able to easily retrieve the Immortal Elixir. ”

”Haha, I understand.”

”A while ago, there was a huge battle between the two sides. I heard that a few elders on the human side were severely injured, so it must have been due to the aura of death invading their bodies, which is very difficult to cure. The water in the ’Suicide Pool’ should be used to heal them. If the powerful figures from that side came to retrieve the water, they would definitely be intercepted by the Undead Spirit Masters, so they sent out a team of Celestial Phenomenon Adepts. In order to achieve their goal, they really did put in quite a bit of effort. They actually started another great battle to attract the undead’s attention. ”

”So that’s how it is.” Tang Huan suddenly understood.

”...”
