“Either way.” Li Qiye sat by the edge of the cliff with his hands as support while swinging his feet, enjoying the clouds beneath.

　　Wind G.o.d glared at him, thinking that Lucidity was such a great and invincible man yet his child was anything but. This might be a stain in Lucidity’s otherwise perfect life.

　　“What is your cultivation, and what merit laws are you learning?” He asked, still distant.

　　“The thirteenth level, and as for merit laws? Whichever ones, cultivation is too easy so no need to be picky.” Li Qiye casually answered.

　　Wind G.o.d almost vomited blood at this shameless brag. This brat was clearly as weak as can be, not any different from newly-admitted cultivators.

　　“There is no such thing as the thirteenth level!” Wind G.o.d coldly responded.

　　“Oh, then the third level then, it’s just that thirteenth level sounds much cooler and suit my style.” Li Qiye shrugged.

　　Wind King glared angrily at him. If this guy was a disciple of G.o.dstep, he would have stomped him right now.

　　Aggressive, arrogant, and ignorant - what a b.a.s.t.a.r.d of a brat.

　　“What? Want a taste of dou and zhe from War Saint Dynasty?” Li Qiye responded to the animosity. [1]

　　Wind G.o.d retorted with a sneer: “Dou and Zhe? You think someone like you can control them?” 

　　Nine Secrets System has nine words: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing. This was a supreme mantra, rumored to be created by Nine Secrets Ancestor or left behind by Bao Pu. [2]

　　The entire system was built on this mantra; they acted as the foundation.

　　However, no lineage was in possession of all nine. Just grasping one was amazing enough.

　　For example, War Saint Dynasty had Dou and Zhe, hence its name. [3]

　　Another one was G.o.dstep Sect with the word Xing. 

　　To a certain extent, having two words allowed War Saint Dynasty to be so powerful. The only other to have two words was Waterfront Pavilion; the rest of the great powers only had one.

　　Few in War Saint Dynasty could touch these two words since they were the very foundation of the kingdom. Even a tyrant like Lucidity couldn’t just give these legacies to Li Qiye.

　　Because of this, Wind G.o.d didn’t expect for someone as weak as him to have the words. In fact, he couldn’t even look at them, let alone cultivating.

　　“That’s fine.” Li Qiye casually shrugged.

　　“Where were you staying before this?” The G.o.d asked.

　　In fact, he was very confused about Li Qiye. If he was Lucidity’s illegitimate son, then who was his mother? Someone like Lucidity wouldn’t have picked just any woman. It must have been an incredible woman with a great background.

　　Everyone knew that Lucidity only had a daughter - True Emperor Jiu Ning. [4]

　　Lucidity no longer had an heir after she was gone, no women around him either. Moreover, Li Qiye only looked a little more than twenty. This made people speculate about what he did twenty years ago.

　　“I fell from the sky.” Li Qiye pointed upward: “Have you never heard about the heaven’s favorite? I’m a person like that, so I naturally was hanging up there. Otherwise, why would I instantly become a king? The phrase - chosen by the heavens - was meant to describe me.”

　　“Nonsense.” Wind G.o.d wanted to give this guy a good kicking: “There’s no such thing.”

　　Li Qiye smiled: “I’m the perfect example. One day, I accidentally fell down and boom, there I was in the Silver Secret Legion’s camp. Lucidity saw me and instantly knew that I was chosen by the heavens, capable enough to make War Saint prospers, so he instantly made me the crown prince and handed the kingdom over.”

　　Wind G.o.d felt like slapping this nonsensical brat now. No one would believe this c.r.a.p.

　　Little did he know that Li Qiye was indeed telling the truth outside of the chosen by heavens part. He didn’t embellish anything else.

　　“Why aren’t you making this land better then? It is lost thanks to you, looks like you’re not really the chosen one by the heavens.” Wind G.o.d mocked him.
