Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Tiandu Sect,

"Sect leader, trouble is brewing! We received some terrible news from the palace!" someone shouted as they rushed to go to the elders hall.

This was where the sect master would probably be this time of the day. And yet, when this disciple of the sect arrived at the elder's hall, and went through the tall doors, he found that every single elder was already sitting there, talking to each other.

Every single face was grim, and every single one of them seemed to already know the news which he came to deliver.

"Go back. We heard the news. The Hong family has fallen, and the King has entered eternal rest." one of the elders at the end of the hall, farthest from the sect leader's seat, softly said.

The disciple shook his head.

"This is not the news that I wish to talk about, Elder Wong! There is even more concerning news. The Sky Heavens sect is moving. With the third largest power moving, every single power has started their move to the capital city!" the disciple said.

"Looks like that has also started. We should have accounted for that as well. Sect leader, when are you leaving for the capital?" one of the elders seated in the middle looked at the head of the room.

Tian Jiang was distracted. He looked dazed, clearly thinking about something. But when someone called upon him, he looked at the elder who spoke.

"When am I going to the capital? The moment that we are done with this discussion. Every single Soul Evolution Stage cultivator will be coming with me to the capital. Right now, the important part isn't the sect. The sect will live and die with the throne. And now, the throne is in danger. All of the sect will come with me to the capital if that is what it takes to fend off against the dangers." Tian Jiang said.

"Dangers? Which power would dare go against the Tian family? Sure, the succession wars will take place, but it has been ages since people died in this race." the closest elder to Tian Jiang asked.

"Dangers? For the first time, the throne is empty. Until now, the throne was never empty. The king would power through until a successor was chosen. But now that the throne is empty, someone can actually take the throne for themselves. And controlling the throne, means controlling the kingdom's biggest strength." Tian Jiang said.

"I am going to the capital today no matter what happens here. That is without debate. I do not care about what Li Tian and what the other sects are doing. They might compete in the succession wars. For all I care, they can do what they want. I just need to make sure that the throne is secure until then." Tian Jiang said.

"And what of the crown prince, sect leader? We wanted to help him get on the throne. We can just give it to him now. If he is on the throne, then who would dare say anything against us? The second prince is as good as done. Who will the crown prince have to go against to prove himself? The Cai family is no longer supporting the tenth prince." one of the elders spoke.

"The Cai family is no longer supporting the Tenth Prince. Instead, it is supporting the son of the dragon princess and the man from the Ancient Realm. Someone who still has a right to the throne because of the previous king's orders." Tian Jiang sighed and said.

"That boy? The boy who was crippled and unable to cultivate? Why would the Cai family support him?" one of the elders asked.

"You are still living in the past, elder Guan. You have been in closed cultivation for the last few years, so you do not know. This boy is now the biggest and most terrifying genius in the entire kingdom. He is in the Soul Evolution stage!"

"What? In the Soul Evolution Stage? Is that even possible? How can someone have such a terrifying cultivation speed? Did he sign a deal with the devil? Did he come into contact with the demonic sects?" Elder Guan asked.

"None of that is what matters! Why are you all interested in some brat who will make a difference maybe one week later, when the entire Han Dynasy remains are coming outside to haunt us?" Tian Jiang shouted, silencing the entire hall.

"Umm... Sect leader, I think that I am not meant to be here. May I take my leave?" the disciple who was here all this time unfortunately, asked.

His knees were trembling as he could barely withstand the pressure that Tian Jiang gave off when he shouted.

"Go out boy. This is the time for young ones like you to share our pain. Go tell your friends and brothers and sisters that the time has come for the entire Tiandu sect to gather to help the throne." Tian Jiang sighed.

"As you wish, sect leader." the disciple nodded as he turned around to run out of the hall.

Tian Jiang looked at all of the elders.

"If all you care about is who is going to ascend the throne, then the royal family only wasted valuable resources trying to grow all of you! We exist so that the entire kingdom will have a final layer of protection. It is time that we now fulfill that responsibility."

"As you wish, Sect Leader! But who are our enemies? Who is coming for the throne? Who dares go against the Tiandu Kingdom and forever become our enemies?" one of the elders asked.

"Many. Too many. The Ancient Portal is coveted, but the throne is a treasure that can be considered one of the most precious in this place. The Handu kingdom wants to reclaim their throne, but they had long fallen. I am more worried about the clans that had secluded themselves after the Han Dynasty fell."
