Chapter 300 - The Three Candidates
It\'s already noon and the blazing yellow sun was hung high above the sky as its brilliant rays cascaded down onto the world like molten lava.
At this time, Ling Chen has just woken up from his bed. As usual, he went to the bathroom to clean himself up before going down to get something to eat.
With Ling Chen\'s cultivation base, he could go on months without eating anything and he would still be fine. He didn\'t eat or drink wine out of necessity but for pleasure.
"I can\'t believe I woke up that late." He murmured to himself as he was putting his new set of clothes on after cleaning himself up.
"I think I\'m good now." He added as he looked at his handsome reflection in the mirror before walking towards the door.
However, when he opened the door of his room, he was startled because a maid was walking up and down the hallway with a nervous and anxious look on her face.
The moment she heard the door was pushed open, the maid suddenly rushed towards Ling Chen with her panic-stricken face and hurriedly said." Mr.Chen, sorry for disturbing you but the Emperor is been waiting for you downstairs since this morning."
"Ohh! He\'s here already, that was fast. Let\'s see what he has to say." Answered Ling Chen with a mysterious smile on his face as he slowly walked past the maid and headed downstairs.
Meanwhile, the maid had her mouth wide open from shock upon seeing Ling Chen\'s calm reaction and carefree attitude even after telling him that the Emperor has been waiting for him since this morning.
What was even more terrifying, when the emperor first arrived and knew that Mr.Chen was still sleeping, he even ordered them not disturbed him and was patiently waiting for him until he woke up.
At this moment, the poor maid was out of words and didn\'t know what to say or think. Whether it was the emperor of the mighty Verid Empire waiting hours for Ling Chen or Ling Chen\'s calm and nonchalant attitude after knowing that.
Sure enough, when Ling Chen went downstairs, he saw the emperor calmly waiting for him in the sitting room. However, he wasn\'t alone.
He was accompanied by three people. One of them was the 7th prince Theodore who Ling Chen has already met before.
As for the other two, Ling Chen has never seen them before. One of them was a young woman that seemed to be around twenty or so and possessed a charming and noble presence.
She was devastatingly beautiful. She was wearing a faintly purple robe, causing her nobility to be even more apparent. It was as if she was heaven\'s royal daughter, possessing a matchless imperial air along with unmatched grace.
The other was a robust handsome young man with a sky-piercing murderous aura. The young man was dressed in black royal attire with a long sword tied by his waist which was kinda unusual.
While everyone was calmly sat on the sofa, the robust young ma stood by himself just like an unsheathed bloody sword as killing intent filled the air, painting a sanguine scene!
Aside from that, each one seemed to resemble the Mad Emperor. It\'s safe to assume that he was their father.
Meanwhile, upon Ling Chen\'s arrival, the Mad Emperor suddenly rose to his feet and walked towards Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face and said." Mr. Chen, you finally woke up."
Hearing the emperor\'s words, Ling Chen merely smiled as he looked at the three people behind him and said."It seems like you have made your choice already."
The emperor nodded, revealing a very nice smile, and said." Indeed. I didn\'t want to let this Heaven-sent opportunity slide."
"Come and introduce yourself to Mr.Chen." He added as he looked back at the people behind him.
The 7th prince was the first one to step forward as he respectfully introduced himself."Hello Mr.Chen, we meet again. My name is Theodore Van Gaal Verid, the 7th Prince of the Verid Empire."
Following the 7th prince, it was the young woman\'s turned. She slowly walked toward Ling Chen and said with a charming smile on her face." I am Natasha, the 5th Princess of the Verid Empire. I\'m very pleased to make your acquaintance Mr.Chen."
Her voice was extremely soft and charming. It was like the sweet sound of nature.
And lastly, the robust young man walked forward and spoke with a cold and emotionless tone." I am Handal, the crown prince of the Verid Empire."
"Not bad."Uttered Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face as he was looking at the three people in front of him.
Despite their youthful appearance, Ling Chen already knew that they were all over a hundred years old. However, a hundred-year-old was considered extremely young in the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
That was even more true for those warriors who practiced martial art. Even Ling Chen himself wasn\'t that young anymore despite his youthful appearance.
Aside from that, Ling Chen could also tell each one of them was a talent. Not only they had all broken through the 1st Life Transition War Master realm, their cultivation base seemed to be stable as well.
Despite the 8th Ring of Chaos universe being a higher level dimension with denser energy than the 9th Ring of the Chaos Universe, it was still difficult to break through the 1st Life Transition as it was about forming one\'s Dao Law Seed by comprehending the law of Heaven and Earth.
It was not something that some Enhancing Gene Potions could achieve. Therefore, breaking through the 1st Life Transition was still a big deal even in the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
"I guess you all can\'t wait to see what kinda opportunity I was talking about. Anyway, it\'s better for you to see it and witness it by yourselves rather than explaining it to you." Ling Chen said with an enigmatic smile on his face before three golden shining medallions engraved with weird symbols appeared in his hand.
Swoosh!
The moment the three golden medallions appeared, the entire room was engulfed with an ancient and primordial aura. Not to mention the two Imperial princes and the 5th Princess, even the Mad Emperor was shocked upon feeling that powerful primordial aura.
That primordial aura felt as though it was the origin of everything. Whether it was Fire Dao Law or the other Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth, they all seemed to come from that Primordial aura emanated by these three Golden Medallions.
