Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Qin Wentian nodded his head and sneered while replying, "Isn't that the exact thing we're looking for?"

Shi Yi nodded, "Yes. To increase cultivation speed exponentially, there must be something which could rival unlimited cultivation resources."

Qin Wentian stood up, "Exactly! This is what we need to find out. And Fang Chen is the key. He has been there, and he knows what that place is. Even if he doesn't know what it actually is, I am sure he can describe it pretty well. We might find out why this sect is frivolously wasting cultivation resources on just maintaining the Array System, and its expenditure could easily rival top tier sects of Middle Heavens."

Shi Yi nodded as Qin Wentian continued, "And I am pretty confident that this hidden secret will bring a lot of changes in the Lower and Middle Heavens alike, as soon as it gets out."

"All this is now can be done by just doing one thing - make Fang Chen guilty of this matter, and do Soul Search."

"This is why I said - Let's go togeth-!"

*Zzzz* *Zzzz*

Just as he was about to finish his words, the communication array from the Heaven Oracle Sect began to blink.

With a frown, he stopped himself and took the call with a one-eighty degree change in his attitude, "Greetings, Master."

…

Ninth Peak, Gracious Sword Sect.

It was regarded as the most powerful peak within the sect and best in terms of talented disciples. This peak was not just limited within the sect; in fact, it had made its name throughout the whole Xin Kingdom.

If someone introduced himself as the disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect, it would get him a lot of glances. However, if he said he's the Disciple Of Ninth Peak of the Gracious Sword Sect that would create an awe and shock from people all around.

To maintain such a reputation, the Peak Master and the elders of this peak have always focused on intense competition and training among the disciples.

There's a famous saying among the disciples when they join the GRacious Sword sEct for the first time - if you have talent, you will join the Ninth Peak, but if you have will, you will survive it.

The hellish atmosphere within this competition and nonstop challenges and spars amongst the disciples are highly encouraged.

Even then, there's a time when things go to another level - and that time is right now.

The Gracious Sword Rankings Tournament!

Held once every three years, this is the biggest event for the Inner COurt Disciples of the whole sect, and within the Ninth Peak - this is the only thing that disciples have in mind.

They cultivate, they spar, and then they cultivate more.

With the Ranking Tournament going on, there is only one thing that can distract these disciples - the rise of hidden geniuses.

Being the top peak, there will, of course, be many rising geniuses every time the tournament took place.

And whom did these talents threaten? 

THe already ranked disciples from the tournament!

And one such disciple was Shu Xian.

Being the right-hand man of the Heavenly LEague's League HEad, Yuan Shuchun, he was good in his schemes and one of the most talented Inner COurt disciples.

Almost touching the ranks of the Core Disciples, Shu Xian was way ahead of his peers.

And this made him what he was today - Arrogant.

Shu Xiang was arrogant.

And this wasn't a secret; in fact, almost the whole Ninth Peak knew of this.

But except for some disciples, almost all of the remaining disciples agreed on the fact that Shu Xian had the strength to back up his arrogance.

However, with arrogance comes a hidden emotion, so subtle that the victim doesn't even know what's happening and keeps on falling into an endless pit.

This emotion is what we call jealousy.

What could make Shu Xian jealous?

Someone more talented than him? No. 

He may be arrogant, but he had his confidence. He had the confidence to surpass his rivals.

So, if that doesn't trigger him, how about someone who could replace his position?

If it's about the Gracious Sword Ranks position, he couldn't care less.

But if it's about his position within the Heavenly League - damn, he got jealous.

And today, he was suffering from this unavoidable and inevitable emotion of jealousy.

  From whom?

A new Inner Court Disciple.

*bang!*

A punch went straight through the table, and it fell into two pieces.

'Hmm, I need to focus.' 

Shu Xian forced himself not to focus on this disciple.

But how could he not?

'What is happening?' He couldn't understand what was going on within his heart.

'Surely Yuan Shuchun won't replace me, right?' He thought.

This question was blinking in his mind for the last few days.

It all started a few weeks ago when a certain disciple began to get closer to Yuan Shuchun.

At first, Shu Xian just laughed it off.

'He will learn a lesson that he is never going to forget.' This is what he first thought.

But later, to his surprise, Yuan Shuchun wasn't actually rejecting this guy's advances!!

'What is going on? She isn't supposed to get close to anyone…' This is what was his first thought this time.

However, later, things happened that made him feel something that he had never dealt with - jealousy.

As its seed sprouted in his heart, there was no turning back.

He didn't like that guy getting close to her.

He didn't like that guy entering the list of Core Members of the Heavenly League.

Shu Xian just didn't like him.

Annoyed with such an unstable mental state, Yuan Shuchun wanted to pick up the broken pieces of the table and smash them back on the ground.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to follow this instinct, someone knocked on his door.

"Senior Brother Shu Xian, Senior Sister Yuan Shuchun has called a meeting."
