NOVEL WEB Chapter 2
Fallen Prince Starts the Game with a Chaotic Holy Body! 2
However, with the Supreme Elder’s token, the handyman yard would not dare to make things difficult for him. He probably would not need to do difficult chores.
Very quickly, Qin Chen headed to the handyman yard. True enough, the elders of the handyman yard did not make things difficult for him due to the token. They just let him be a sweeper handyman, who performed simple cleaning around the Holy Land daily.
But a lot of gossip spread within Taiyi Holy Land. It was not clear where they had heard the rumors from. Qin Chen had apparently been the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had just been demoted to commoner status, sent far away from the Central Province, and now reduced to a handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land.
As a result, a lot of official disciples – and even handyman disciples – gossiped and pointed whenever they saw Qin Chen.
Qin Chen could only smile bitterly in response. He had no other choice.
Fortunately, because of the Supreme Elder’s token, those people could occasionally mock him, but did not dare to bully him physically.
Before he knew it, Qin Chen had been in that world for one year. He had gotten used to things.
Although he was not able to cultivate immortality, he could cultivate ordinary martial arts to strengthen his body.
Although Taiyi Holy Land was an immortal cultivation sect, it still offered many ordinary martial arts for cultivation.
That day, Qin Chen officially turned 16.
In that world, the age of 16 signified the beginning of adulthood. But no one celebrated for Qin Chen. He had no plans to celebrate either. As usual, he proceeded to a cliff to sweep, intending to spend his first birthday as an adult uneventfully.
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations, you have completed the system’s one-year survival test. The system will now be officially activated.]
[System activation in progress…]
Qin Chen suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his head. His heart stopped.
“The system!”
Qin Chen was shocked. In the past year, he had gradually accepted his reality. He thought that he would be a sweeper handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land for the rest of his life.
He never expected to activate the legendary system on his 16th birthday.
He was aware of the system. It was a huge cheating device!
“I wonder what kind of system it will be?”
Qin Chen was full of anticipation.
He did not have to wait long. Soon, the system’s voice sounded in his head again:[System successfully activated. Please check in.]
[You may check in to any place between heaven and earth that contains divinity.]
[However, you may only check in once a day.]
[The higher the divinity of the place, the greater the reward for checking in.]
[You may check in repeatedly at certain places.]
Places with divinity?
Qin Chen understood instantly. The so-called divinity was places with Dao runes between heaven and earth. Some were innate, such as chaotic pure lands, ancestral vessels, spirit vessels, divine trees, divine herbs, and so on.
And some were man-made, such as places with marks left behind by top experts, great emperor training halls, an emperor’s tomb, and the Nine Forbidden Grounds of Canglan Continent.
But he could only check in once a day. His first chance should not go to waste.
“It was not easy to awaken the system. It means there’s hope for me to cultivate. I mustn’t waste this great opportunity. I have to find a good place to check in.”
Qin Chen was both surprised and delighted. The appearance of the system had reignited his dormant thoughts of cultivation.
After all, after transmigrating to that kind of world, who wouldn’t want to become a super expert who could move freely in the world without obstruction? Especially like the masters of ancient holy lands, aristocratic families and dynasties, also known as kings. They were free to do anything and commanded the respect and obedience of everyone.
It was just that the elders of both the Great Qin Dynasty and Taiyi Holy Land had judged that his talent and body were very ordinary. It would be too difficult for him to enter the path of cultivation. His hopes were slim. As such, Qin Chen had given up on the idea of cultivation.
Now, the appearance of the system had reignited Qin Chen’s hopes.
For his first check-in, he would definitely choose a place where an ancient great emperor had left his mark. Ancient great emperors were the gods of that world. It was said that they had the power to pluck stars and swallow moons, and were unbelievably terrifying. They were the supreme gods in the eyes of the people.
In that world, many immortal dynasties, holy lands and aristocratic families had produced great emperors. The Great Qin Dynasty, for example, definitely had places where ancient great emperors had left traces. The divinity of those places would definitely be very strong, and he was very likely to obtain good rewards if he checked in there.
But Qin Chen was only a mortal now. Not to mention the distance, he did not even have the right to get close to those places.
It would have to be in Taiyi Holy Land first.
Taiyi Holy Land had declined significantly, but it was still a holy land. However, its land area was too wide, with a radius of thousands of miles.
Qin Chen was just a sweeper handyman. In the past year, he had only gone nearby and had not been to many places in the holy land. So for a moment, he was at a loss as to where to check in.
“That’s right. I’ve heard of an ancient place in the holy land. It’s thought to be a place where an ancient great emperor once walked across. That ancient great emperor was the strongest in history, overlooking the universe. The places he’s walked across must have tremendous divinity!”
Qin Chen suddenly recalled an ancient cliff in Taiyi Holy Land. An ancient great emperor was rumored to have stayed and left a pair of footprints there.
Of course, it was just a rumor. When Taiyi Holy Land was still on par with immortal holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, it possessed great talent and power. Emperors had even commissioned peerless experts to personally explore the cliff. However, they did not find anything special and wrote it off as a rumor in the end.
Over time, no one paid attention to that cliff. It had even been covered in dust for many years, and not many people went there.
Although there was a high possibility that it was just a rumor, Qin Chen decided to head there for his first check-in. If it truly was a place walked on by the great emperor, he would definitely obtain a good reward.
If not, it was just a one-day check-in opportunity. He would not consider it a big loss. At most, he could just check in the next day.
He had already waited 16 years. He did not mind waiting just one more day.
Four hours later, Qin Chen finally reached the location of the ancient great emperor’s footprint after staggering up the mountain, panting.
It could not be helped. Taiyi Holy Land was simply too big. The destination was hundreds of miles from where he was, and the mountains along the way were towering. Qin Chen was fit and strong, having cultivated martial arts, but it still took him four hours.
It was not easy to find the place that the ancient great emperor was thought to have left his mark. Qin Chen looked at a not-too-tall cliff in front of him. The cliff was overgrown with weeds – all except an area 20 to 30 feet wide. There was not a single weed in sight, and it was free from dust all-year-round.
In the center was a pair of footprints. They were faint, but had been imprinted on the cliff for hundreds of thousands of years without being eroded.
[Ding dong!]
[A remnant with extremely high divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?]
[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]
Suddenly, the voice of the system appeared in his head.
After receiving the system notification, Qin Chen was convinced that it was the place where the ancient great emperor had left his mark. He immediately said silently, “System, I want to check in here!”
At the next moment.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the place where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor has left his mark. You have obtained the Chaotic Holy Body!]
The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Qin Chen’s head.
