Chapter 43: Take Back Your Own Position

[Devour the Heavens and Swallow the Earth Technique (Complete): Requires one million five hundred thousand Secret Points, can inquire about the specific location.]

[Borrowing Luck to Become Saint (Divine Art): Requires ten thousand Secret Points, can inquire about the specific location.]

"Well, these are about right." Seeing the new choices provided by the system, Li Yun nodded in satisfaction. Although the Great Emperor's Tombs were attractive, Bei Chenheng might not be able to afford them. Judging by his current condition, a Divine Art like Borrowing Luck to Become Saint was more within his reach.

"This Borrowing Luck to Become Saint is good, and it's reasonably priced." Li Yun had an idea. Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Bei Chenheng and said, "If it were a complete Martial Emperor Sword Technique, it might have been enough in value. Unfortunately… the one in your hands is too severely damaged."

"What!" Bei Chenheng's body trembled. Holding the Martial Emperor Sword Technique in his hands, he involuntarily clenched his fists. His complexion turned extremely pale. In an instant, he understood the meaning in Senior's words.

He wasn't a fool; with just a few hints from the senior, Bei Chenheng quickly grasped the key. It was his Imperial father!

A chilling realization swept over Bei Chenheng. So, his Imperial father had never trusted him. Even the Divine Art bestowed upon him was incomplete. If he ever harbored rebellious intentions, he could be certain that he wouldn't be a match for anyone. His Imperial father could effortlessly crush him, making him powerless.

"What about this one?" Bei Chenheng, unwilling to give up, presented another manual. The Imperial Domineering Fist—a Divine Art of the Great Yin Dynasty that every generation of God Emperors must cultivate, and it could only be cultivated by the main lineage.

"It's also incomplete," Li Yun glanced at it, stating casually.

"Really?" Bei Chenheng's complexion turned even paler. Everything given to him by his Imperial father was incomplete. incomplete Divine Arts would undoubtedly have significant drawbacks. Presumably, his eight Imperial brothers faced the same situation.

In the past, he had been puzzled. His sixth Imperial brother, with outstanding talent and rapid cultivation speed, had few rivals among peers. After reaching the Holy Lord level, unwilling to become a puppet, he tried to force his Imperial father to abdicate. However, he quickly got suppressed by his Imperial father.

So, it was all a trap! Using incomplete Divine Arts in battles against outsiders might be passable since outsiders wouldn't be familiar with them. However, when dealing with one's own people, lacking any aspect could be fatal! Because the Great Yin God Emperor cultivated the Imperial Domineering Fist and the Martial Emperor Sword Technique.

Crash!

Bei Chenheng gritted his teeth. At this moment, he emptied all the contents of his storage ring, including all the techniques and Divine Arts he possessed, even the Devour the Heavens and Swallow the Earth Technique. If his Imperial father was unkind, why should he treat these incomplete Divine Arts as treasures? He might as well bring them all out for a trade with the senior. If he succeeded, his life would be secure. If not, these things were extraneous to him.

"Senior, are these resources sufficient?"

"System, how many Secret Points are these items worth?" Li Yun inquired in his mind.

[Ten million top-grade spirit stones, five million high-grade spirit stones, nine bottles of Holy Lord Grade elixirs, sixteen Holy Lord Grade spirit herbs, and several Divine Arts and techniques.]

[Can be exchanged for 36,000 Secret Points.]

"Oh?" Li Yun raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that Bei Chenheng wasn't as destitute as he had thought. After all, he was the ninth prince. Although the Great Yin God Emperor guarded against his son in terms of Divine Arts, he certainly wouldn't be stingy in other resources because he needed his son to cultivate rapidly. After all, his nine sons were like nine charging power banks. If the power bank's battery was not full, how could it be used?

"That's enough." Li Yun nodded and casually collected all the resources. Then, he said in his mind, "System, exchange for the location of Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Divine Art."

[Ding!]

[Deducting 10,000 Secret Points, successful query for Borrowing Luck to Become Saint's location.]

[Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Divine Art is a unique secret technique of the Great Li Dynasty (click to view details). After its downfall, the method ended up in the treasury of the Great Yin Dynasty.]

[The specific location has been saved in the jade slip. Please check it at your convenience.]

"…I didn't expect that there would be some connection between the Great Yin Dynasty and the Great Li Dynasty."

This Great Li Dynasty was precisely the one obliterated by the Great Yin Dynasty. Li Yun glanced at the introduction of the Great Li Dynasty, then withdrew his gaze. A jade slip appeared in his hand, and he tossed it towards Bei Chenheng.

"This is my method. Will it align with your intentions?" Li Yun nodded.

"Huh?" Bei Chenheng received the jade slip, and his divine sense entered it. After carefully reading it, he suddenly drew in a cold breath, incredulous. "This is… the whereabouts of the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method?"

"Yes." Li Yun affirmed.

"This Divine Art has been sought by the Great Yin Dynasty for over a million years, and there has been no information. If not for the guidance of the senior today, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this Divine Art has been hidden in the treasury all along!"

With this information, Bei Chenheng suddenly felt a surge of great confidence. Finally, he could stop worrying about his life and could even advance further! Reclaiming his rightful position! After all, his Imperial father had been sitting in that position for over five thousand years; it was time for a change!
