Chereads / Heaven Smiting God Emperor / Chapter 2 - Return to the Capital

Chapter 2 - Return to the Capital

On the vast southern spiritual continent, there are so many kingdoms and empires everywhere. And if it was only seen in terms of size and strength, the kingdom of Qin could only be considered a small kingdom on the vast continent. However, even for the smallest kingdoms, they still had vast territories.

As a kingdom that was considered average, the Qin kingdom occupied a land of fifty thousand kilometers. It lies in the northern part of the southern spiritual continent, directly adjacent to the Deserted Land which is where many spiritual monsters live.

In the Qin kingdom, there were at least twenty provinces and each province had their own noble clans whose strength could not be underestimated.

Even though on the surface the noble clans declared their loyalty to the Qin royal family. However, in a world where strength is everything, everyone has their own ambitions.

If it wasn't for the fact that the power of the king of Qin was above the leaders of the noble clans, they would have taken over the throne a long ago. In this world where strength is the most respected, no one wants to give their loyalty to the weaker.

Even though all of those clans had weaker powers than the kingdom, but actually there were a few clans in the Qin kingdom having powers that were only slightly weaker than the Qin kingdom. And if they were all united, even the Qin king did not dare to offend them.

Because their strength is only slightly weaker, it causes them to develop feelings of arrogance and lack of respect for the kingdom.

Luckily, there were only five clans that possessed such strength. And because they were wary of each other too, they did not choose to fight directly with the kingdom.

Swoosh...

Reaching the final stage Spiritual realm, Qin Tian's flying speed was extremely fast. And his body was also shrouded in lightning bolts which made his flying speed become much faster than the final stage Spiritual realm usual. If one sees from a distance, that person will not think that it is humans who fly across the sky, but lightning.

Even though the royal capital is fifty kilometers away from the mountain, it only takes almost ten minutes for Qin Tian to reach it. It wasn't long before the city that looked grand and prosperous was seen in its line of sight.

The name of the capital of the Qin kingdom is the Qin city.

As the capital of the kingdom, it occupies a large area so that it can accommodate up to ten million people.

The city was a circle with a ten meter high wall that surrounded it.

In the city, there are so many buildings, shops, restaurants, hotels, and various types of entertainment places that make the city always feels alive.

Located right in the middle of the city, there is a small mountain that can be seen by everyone in the city. And right above the mountain is where the royal palace of Qin is located.

For people in the Qin kingdom, the royal palace is undoubtedly the most sacred place in the whole kingdom. That was only because the strongest expert of the Qin kingdom lived there.

As long as the palace still exists, the kingdom of Qin will always be there.

After several minutes of flying, Qin Tian finally arrived near the royal capital of Qin. He stopped flying when the city was another kilometer away.

In the capital city of the Qin kingdom, everyone knew that the prince of Qin was a genius in cultivation. However, the extent of his talent, not many people know it.

Because his father told him not to be too self-effacing, Qin Tian never flew when he entered the capital! That's because if he flies, people will know right away that he has reached the spiritual realm.

Even when academy students walk to the capital, they will only say how amazing the prince's talents are. They would not directly mention his cultivation level.

As long as Qin Tian does not reveal his strength! No one will know his cultivation level as long as he doesn't meet with strong experts.

Qin Tian then walked casually towards the direction of the city.

As he got closer to the city, he saw many people coming from various places heading towards the city.

No matter what time it is, there will always be many people visiting the royal capital.

They come in various ways; some are on foot, some are on flying carriage, and some are traveling on wild animals.

Their age varies! From the young to the old can be found. However, regardless of their age, they all emitted a mighty aura.

Even though Qin Tian did not accentuate himself in the midst of many people. However, his charisma as a prince is not something that can be covered up.

Even when he hid his aura, the people still glanced at him several more times since seeing him for the first time. Especially young girls! They could not take their eyes off him. Only with his appearance, Qin Tian can make young girls drunk in love.

Even though they could not know his cultivation level, but they could still feel the great strength from his body.

But because most of those people were not residents of the royal capital, they could not recognize Qin Tian's identity. But whoever it is, can guess that the young person's identity is not simple.

However, as Qin Tian walked closer to the city gate, the gatekeepers who saw Qin Tian's arrival could not stand still anymore, they immediately left their place and rushed towards Qin Tian. There were at least ten guards rushing towards him.

The actions of the gatekeepers naturally attracted the attention of everyone who headed towards the city. They quickly stopped in their tracks when they saw the gatekeepers rushing towards the young man. They guessed that Qin Tian's background was not simple. However, seeing the guard's actions, they finally realized that the youth's identity was more than just not simple. Only the royal family can make the city guards greet him directly.

"Could it be him?" Some people who can guess can't help but ask questions.

Quickly! When the gatekeepers arrived in front of Qin Tian they immediately bowed and saluted.

"Your Highness, you are back!" One of the gatekeepers who led the group immediately spoke after saluting.

"Mn! Has something happened lately?" Qin Tian nodded while asking. He always asks about things that happened in the capital when he returned.

In response to Qin Tian's question, the guard immediately answered. "Mn." He nodded briefly before speaking. "His Majesty the King ordered His Highness the Prince to go straight to the palace after arriving in the city."

"What happened?" Hearing the gate guard's words, Qin Tian could not help but be surprised. It was not usual for his father to order him to go directly to the palace. Unless something big happens, of course.

"This soldier does not know what happened, but it would be best for His Highness to go to the palace immediately." He answered again seeing Qin Tian's surprise.

"Mn, alright." Qin Tian nodded. He then walked hurriedly into the city. The gatekeepers immediately gave way. And after Qin Tian passed them, half of them also followed him into the city.

Wow...

While Qin Tian rushed towards the palace, people who were aware of his identity could not resist the shock. Immediately a commotion occurred.

"That's His Highness the Prince." Someone shouted.

"He is truly Prince Qin. I hear he is very amazing, but seeing him now, it seems like he is more amazing than rumored."

"Right! I heard Prince Qin is the most genius in the history of the Qin kingdom. It seems like those words are not excessive."

"Even though I can't see Prince Qin's cultivation, but I can still feel the terrifying strength of the Prince."

"Even this old man cannot see through Prince Qin. He is truly unexpected." An old man said while sighing.

However, the old man's words made people even more shocked.

"What? Even you old man can't see his cultivation?"

The people there could tell that the old man had actually reached the final stage Spiritual realm. But even he could not see Prince Qin's cultivation. What does this mean?

People hold their breath. They find it hard to believe what is happening.

Usually only someone who has the same cultivation or does not differ too far, only then can hide their cultivation from others. However, the old man had reached the final stage Spiritual realm. Does that mean that Qin Tian's cultivation is not that different from that old man's?

Of course most people don't believe it. After all, even if Qin Tian was the most talented in the history of the Qin kingdom, they did not believe that Qin Tian had reached the Spiritual realm.

Qin Tian did not care about what people said about him. As a prince of a kingdom, he has been accustomed to being praised by many people since he was a child.

Because his father ordered him to return to the palace immediately, he did not slow down as he passed the streets of the royal capital.

Usually, every time he is in the capital, he often walks everywhere. Therefore, the majority of the population of the capital city actually knows him.

Seeing the arrival of Qin Tian, they naturally greeted him. They knew that their prince had just returned to the capital. However, unlike usual where Qin Tian often stopped before returning to the palace, this time he only smiled to reply to their greetings before continuing the journey. Seeing that, people couldn't help but wonder why Prince Qin rushed to the palace.
