Chapter 3 - Abdication

"Why are the women of these worlds so beautiful? She would have wreaked havoc on the modern world if she had been born there." Cang Yun thought secretly as he watched his sister.

Cang Yue noticed her gaze, but she only saw the most sincere admiration, which made her startle again.

The emperor then began to speak, this meeting has the purpose of initiating the competition for the throne, all his children will be able to participate, a few moments later his speech was ended, at that moment the fourth and fifth princes decided to abdicate the right and support the first prince, while the sixth prince abdicated to support the third.

Everyone then faced the second, seventh princes and princess. Seeing that both of them did not manifest, Cang Yun then chose to speak.

"Royal father, I would like to support the elder sister, I am not interested in the throne or becoming emperor, not even any kind of official position, I just want to be a loose cultivator...

So please allow me to fulfill this wish and transfer all my rights to the princess." Cang Yun said decisively.

"As expected of the most useless among us, he will give up and will support the princess."

"Yes, the princess is the worst choice apparently."

"Tsk tsk, as if a woman could become the emperor of a nation."

At that moment several of his brothers criticized him, they didn't have the slightest sense of consideration as they looked down on Cang Yue, even Cang Wanhe was furious at that moment.

"Shut up, that's enough!!! I'll allow you to do whatever you want, but on one condition, I want you to accompany the princess to New Moon City tomorrow and support her for a while."

After some time Cang Wanhe lost his patience and ordered everyone to shut up, and then responded to Cang Yun's request.

Cang Yun didn't mind, he would like to approach this beautiful older sister, she is one of his favorite heroines.

After that Cang Wanhe and some officials proceeded with the completion process, several princes claimed that they will give up and support others, which needs to be registered and authenticated. This took some time and then Cang Wanhe ended the meeting.

"Royal father, I would like to visit the skill pavilion, I want to choose some profound arts."

Cang Yun said suddenly, at this moment Cang Wanhe was surprised again, this boy also showed interest in cultivation, what is going on here? The Emperor wondered, when he suddenly realized something and was dumbfounded.

"You you you!!"

Most of the people had already withdrawn by this time, only a few officers, the princess and the emperor, remained in the hall when Cang Yun made this request. At that moment Cang Yun released his fluctuations of profound energy, which caused Cang Wanhe almost to stumble.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" One of the officers asked intrigued.

"Royal father?" Cang Yue said doubtfully.

"Everyone besides my two children, leave this place immediately!" Cang Wanhe said out loud all of a sudden.

"But your majesty-"

"Get out, do you want to go against the emperor? Do you want to rebel?" One of the officers wanted to question but was severely reprimanded, so everyone had to obediently leave the room.

After some time, Cang Wanhe was sure that there were only the three of them in the place, he then activated a deep sound isolation matrix, something that had always existed in this place.

"Royal father?" Cang Yue questioned again feeling lost, Cang Wanhe just nodded for her to be silent, she then nodded in agreement.

"The 10th level of the Nascent Profound realm... Since when did you cultivate? Why did you hide it from everyone until now? Is it funny to make a fool of your father?"

Cang Wanhe coldly questioned, for everyone this is the idiot prince with no talent for anything, but now he shows incredible talent, just under 16 years old, Nascent Profound realm 10th level, what concept is this?

"What?! Royal father, is this true?!" At that moment Cang Yue couldn't help but say abruptly, resulting in Cang Wanhe waving her to shut up, both of them then stared at Cang Yun waiting for an answer.

Seeing this Cang Yun regretted it a bit, he should have left quietly, but he still needed to obtain profound arts in the royal family's skill pavilion.

"That... I never wanted to make a fool of my royal father, I just didn't want to be placed as crown prince and anything like that, I don't want to be a part of politics, I just want to cultivate and become strong, or perhaps the royal father is satisfied that we are the weakest empire among the seven nations?"

After thinking through various answers, Cang Yun opted for the one with the most impact, he didn't mind calling his own father weak indirectly.

"You little bastard-Urhgghh cough cough."

"Royal father!!"x²

Hearing Cang Yun's words, Cang Wanhe was furious, he wanted to scold him, but due to anger his internal illness attacked him, causing him to vomit and cough up a few mouthfuls of blood. At that moment both Cang Yun and Cang Yue came forward to support him.

"Hey old man, you should rest and not worry about these things, just believe in your son, one day our empire will soar high." Cang Yun said rudely after stabilizing his father's figure.

"Humph, I won't be bother with you, do what you want, Yue'er give him the token." Said Cang Wanhe still grumpy.

Hearing his order, Cang Yue just touched his ring and withdrew a grayish token, inscribed with Imperial Pavilion, and handed it to Cang Yun.

"Now get out of here, you little bastard!!" As Cang Yun took the token Cang Wanhe shouted for it to disappear, Cang Yun just smiled playfully.

This was due to Cang Yun's previous relationship with his father, they both talked like that because of his bad personality.

"Yue'er, tell your old dad, what do you think of this?" After Cang Yun left, the Emperor asked the princess what she thought of everything.

"I'm completely surprised, the prince labeled the most worthless turned out to be the most talented of us... He's almost three years younger than me but stronger than me, I honestly don't know what to think about that, royal father ." Cang Yue replied feeling dejected.

"Yue'er don't belittle himself, his talent is among the first geniuses in the entire empire, besides it, he's on your side, I don't know why but he doesn't seem to have bad intentions."

Cang Wanhe said trying to comfort her daughter, she always wanted to become strong to help her father, but her talent is limited unfortunately.

Meanwhile Cang Yun was already entering the Profound Arts Pavilion, he wanted to choose some techniques, even though they are not very strong, even if he stops using them someday for getting better ones, they will be very helpful now.

Cang Yun turned the entire pavilion up and down, in the end he chose five different profound arts. They were Explosive Thunder, Ground Impact, Footsteps in the Wind, Slashing Gale, and finally Crescent Moon Slash.

These were profound arts of the elements, thunder, earth and wind, the last one was a sword technique. Cang Yun also took out a spiritual grade profound sword. Although there were many techniques, only this one caught his attention, not even an interesting fire attribute technique was found.
