Chapter 5: Almost Died

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Tian decided to find Qin Gao.

It was not easy to find a specific person in the huge palace. Nevertheless, it would not be an issue if one were acquainted with the head eunuch in the Imperial Household Department.

Well, Shen Tian was not acquainted with anyone there. Still, it did not bother Shen Tian as no one dared to disobey the 13th Prince in the palace.

After hearing his request, the head eunuch swiftly took out the schedule with all the eunuchs’ movements and informed Shen Tian about Qin Gao’s whereabouts.

After that, he sent Shen Tian out of the Imperial Household Department respectfully.

He was too afraid that his Imperial Household Department would suddenly collapse like the Directorate of Imperial Academy.

...

Shen Tian found out that Qin Gao was working for the 6th Prince.

The 6th Prince was called Shen Ao, and he was the most talented in cultivation among all his siblings.

At the age of 18, he had accomplished cultivating to the 9th Firmament and was very close to reaching the fundamental of immortality. He was a genius seen in the Country of Fire once in a blue moon.

It was said that a Supremacy from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven had been interested in him and had taken him in as a personal disciple.

The Eastern Wilderness had two main branches for cultivation. One was the 36 Grotto-Heaven, and the other was the 72 Blessed-Land. Grand White Grotto-Heaven ranked 10th in its branch.

It was a huge opportunity when a Supremacy from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven took someone in as a disciple.

If nothing went wrong, Shen Ao would at least become a Perfected One in the Golden Core.

If he got luckier, there was a chance for him to reach Nascent Soul around the age of 500 and become a Supremacy that was respected by everyone else.

By then, even the King of Fire would be nothing compared to his status. Even the weakest Supremacy could live for at least a 1,000 years in the world. They could easily rip mountains apart and split the ocean—a simple status as a King was too insignificant.

Thus, Shen Ao enjoyed an incredible social status in the Country of Fire.

The other princes would not pick on him on purpose even though the King of Fire was very dotting toward him because they knew it was unnecessary.

It was Shen Ao’s fate to become immortal when he spent his life cultivating it. Naturally, he had no interest in the throne at all.

...

I wonder what the halo looks like on the 6th brother, Shen Tian thought to himself.

He followed the road in the Imperial Garden and reached the 6th Prince’s Palace.

Suddenly, Shen Tian heard a scream, followed by a chain of scolding.

“Are you blind? You idiot!

“Do you have any idea how expensive this Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass is? Even if you have nine lives, you are nothing compared to it.

“For the rest of you, take this as a warning! This will be the punishment if you get things messed up next time!”

...

Shen Tian looked over and saw a crowd around a well in the Imperial Garden. The crowd was gathered around a cross on which a badly wounded eunuch was bound. It was Qin Gao!

There was a change in Qin Gao’s halo. Although it was still red, the color was much dimmer compared to before. Some parts of it had started to look green, and it was not as colorful as before.

Isn’t Qin Gao a person with good luck? Why is he going through this torture now?

This kind of scene surprised Shen Tian.

Suddenly, he recalled some of the novels he had read before.

Not all main leads had a smooth sailing life awaiting them. Sometimes, they would experience huddles, survive, and kill the enemy...

Wait a second... Survive and kill the enemy!

Shen Tian was terrified by his thoughts.

Who is Qin Gao’s enemy now?

The eunuch who is beating him now? Or his master Shen Ao? Or... The entire Country of Fire!?

Shen Tian remembered what Eunuch Gui had said about Demon Hyuga and how he had taken revenge on the Country of Kun.

He had slaughtered all the royals just because he had been bullied once in the palace.

That day, blood had flowed in the palace like a faulted tap. There had been bodies everywhere!

...

What are you doing, Shen Ao!?

Shen Tian’s lips twitched. He pictured what would happen if he did not interfere with the sequence of events.

Qin Gao would be bullied like now and would somehow manage to survive. Then, he would find the book History Of The Great Fire and the Demon Book of Hyuga. He would then escape from the palace and start training this demonic art. After mastering the skills, he would come back for Shen Ao and murder the entire royal family!

With the black halo on Shen Tian’s head, it was almost certain that he would be caught in the conflicts and die.

He was 99.99999% sure about it!

Is there a chance that Qin Gao would not try to get revenge after mastering the demon art?

Why would he not?!

I’m trying so hard to survive here and look at what you are doing, Shen Ao!

Shen Tian started to curse Shen Ao.

So what if you are a genius in cultivation?

So what if the Elder in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven took you in as a disciple?

Continue what you are doing, and we are all going to die!

Can you just let me out of this?

What should I do now...

Shen Tian panicked when he looked at Qin Gao, who was bound on the cross.

Should I turn around and walk off?

Not a good idea. What I pictured will definitely come true.

Or should I wait until they are done beating Qin Gao and make sure Qin Gao is dead in the end?

Not a good idea, either.

Had it been possible to kill him so easily, would providence have blessed him like that?

There was also the black halo on Shen Tian’s head now. It would not be surprising if a random expert jumped out of the blue and saved Qin Gao if he tried to kill Qin Gao with his own hands.

If he had a little more bad luck, this expert would take Qin Gao in as a disciple and kill everyone here to avenge his student.

Although the chances were slim, Shen Tian’s mere presence rendered the laws of probability useless... Only Murphy’s Law would apply now...

Forget it. I should save him first!

Shen Tian decided to save Qin Gao and build a good relationship with him. Even if Qin Gao managed to learn other skills and came back for revenge in the future, he would at least spare Shen Tian.

Yeah, probably!

With that in mind, Shen Tian walked up and shouted, “Stop!”

When they heard Shen Tian, everyone took a step back.

They greeted Shen Tian and left in a hurry. They seemed very scared of him.

Only the eunuch that was beating Qin Gao remained there. He was under someone’s order and could not possibly just leave like the rest of them.

As Shen Tian approached, the eunuch’s face was full of shock, terror, fear, and uneasiness.

That was quite a show!

“Your Highness... What are you doing here?”

Shen Tian pointed at Qin Gao and said calmly, “I’m bringing this guy away.”

The eunuch was in a dilemma. “He just broke the 6th Prince’s Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass. He ought to die. 13th Prince, please don’t make it difficult for me.”

Shen Tian was stunned. Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass was an important ingredient for concocting the Superior-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill. It had extremely high value.

Thus, it was indeed worth more than the life of a low-ranking eunuch.

“I see. Then I’ll talk to my cousin personally!”

“It’s been a long time since I last spoke to him too. Oh, I miss him so much!

A calm but firm voice came from within the palace right after Shen Tian finished his sentence.

“That’s not necessary. Since you are my cousin, you are free to take him away!

“Too bad I cannot see you personally as I’m in seclusion right now and cannot be disrupted.

“Lee, send them off.”
