Chapter 2159: Promoted to Crown Prince! Jingming Takes Off 4

…At the same time.
Red Moon Demon Dynasty, Demonic Court.
Currently, the most illustrious figure in the entire Demonic Dynasty is undoubtedly the Third Prince Shentu Jingming.
Meanwhile, the prestige of the Demon Emperor is skyrocketing, effectively overshadowing the influence of the Demon Lord. This has elevated the Demon Emperor’s influence to a peak within the entire Demonic Dynasty, nearly reaching a state of sole authority.
This also leaves the Demon Emperor quite pleased with Shentu Jingming.
With the Demon Emperor’s strong support, the Imperial Family of the Demonic Dynasty resolved, through an official process, to allow the Third Prince Shentu Jingming to enjoy the [Red Lotus Immortal] left behind by the Old Ancestor.
The reasons are twofold: firstly, it coincides with the maturity of the Red Lotus Immortal, which produces an Immortal Lotus Seed. Secondly, Shentu Jingming outshines the other princes in performance, and the Demon Emperor has already reached a point of passing down the legacy.
No matter what, eventually, someone must step up to inherit it.
After comprehensive consideration, Shentu Jingming is deemed the most suitable.
Upon unanimous approval, the Third Prince is sent into the family’s secret realm [Red Immortal Pond].
This Immortal Pond is located a thousand feet underground, surrounded by the roaring magma of the earth veins. Only in this small area is it calm, with magma quietly flowing, emitting an extreme high temperature.
The site of this Immortal Pond is also a top tier Fire Spirit Vein, formed by the convergence of several top tier Fire Spirit Veins, making it extremely rare.
The Red Lotus Immortal is cultivated here in this Immortal Pond.
The stem of the Red Lotus Immortal is emerald green, its leaves are rich and dark like ink. From a distance, the leaves sway gently, with an aura flowing throughout that resembles a divine and ethereal flower, exuding a sense of purity untainted by the mundane.
However, the Red Lotus Immortal is of such high grade that even with top tier Fire Spirit Veins nurturing it, its growth is exceedingly slow. From the time the Shentu Clan obtained it until now, the lotus pod produced has only just reached true maturity.
Although due to a lack of sufficient energy, only one Lotus Seed was successfully nurtured, with the others being empty shells, it was not in vain given the Shentu Clan’s years of diligence.
This is what is meant by “one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.” Generations of the Shentu Clan have tended to the Red Lotus Immortal, and now, in the generation of the Third Prince Shentu Jingming, the fruits of this labor can be enjoyed.
Even the Demon Emperor cannot help but secretly envy Shentu Jingming’s stroke of luck.
Once upon a time, when the Demon Emperor was young, the Red Lotus Immortal was also on his mind. Unfortunately, at that time, the Lotus was far from maturity; attempting to use it prematurely would be an utter waste, and after researching, the Demon Emperor had no choice but to give up.
Now, however, it benefits Shentu Jingming, that lucky brat.
This time, sending the Third Prince Shentu Jingming into the Red Immortal Pond for seclusion is twofold: First, to enjoy the mature Red Lotus Immortal, and second, to utilize the abundant fire energy here to also inherit the family Codex [Red Lotus Codex].
This Intermediate Codex evolved from the [Red Lotus True Demon Sutra] and not only enhances the Third Prince’s Bloodline Talent but also lays the foundation for his future inheritance of the True Demon Sutra.
A period of time later.
Deep underground, near the [Red Immortal Pond], came the thrilled laughter of Shentu Jingming: “I, the Third Prince, have finally mastered my divine skills, refining an Immortal Lotus Seed, and successfully inheriting the [Red Lotus Codex]! Hahaha, my bloodline, hahaha, I am now Grade D according to the Son of Heaven!”
Before inheriting the True Demon Sutra or True Immortal Scripture, elevating his bloodline to Grade D of the Son of Heaven level is of significant importance, both to him personally and to the Demonic Dynasty.
Because this means that upon inheriting the True Demon Sutra, Shentu Jingming’s bloodline will most likely reach Class C of the Son of Heaven. With such talent, if he cultivates diligently, reaching the mid-stage of the True Devil Realm is almost a certainty.
Why have the Immortal Emperor and Demon Lord been stuck at the early stages for so long? Is it not because their Bloodline Talent fell just short of that crucial epiphany and transformation?
Even though the Immortal Emperor, with his opportunities and Wang Shouzhe’s assistance, barely reached the mid-stage, he underwent much hardship, and his age is already quite advanced.
If all proceeds smoothly and resources are sufficient, Shentu Jingming is likely to smoothly advance to the mid-stage of the True Devil Realm by four or five thousand years of age.
And before that, his cultivation will also consistently lead over other True Immortals and True Demons’ heirs.
“Congratulations to the Third Highness.”
Shentu Clan members who have guarded the [Red Immortal Pond] for generations were also extremely excited, shedding tears of joy and congratulating Shentu Jingming.
This line of the Shentu Clan, having vigilantly guarded for thousands of years, has finally seen fruition.
“Haha, thank you, thank you.” Shentu Jingming was very happy, and suddenly he thought of something and asked, “By the way, I noticed the second segment of the Red Lotus Immortal Lotus Root has matured earlier, can that be eaten?”
Elder Shentu was immediately overjoyed and said, “That’s wonderful, today is truly a double blessing for our Shentu Clan ~ Third Highness, the Red Lotus Immortal Lotus Root can definitely be eaten, but its effect is far less potent than the Immortal Lotus Seed. The original energy in the Immortal Lotus Seed comes from the accumulated Heavenly Earth Essence during its gestation, which is a near-original energy, extremely rare. In contrast, the Red Lotus Immortal Lotus Root is not, its greatest use is in propagation, our Shentu Clan will have two Red Lotus Immortals in the future, hahaha~”
“Crack!”
Amid Elder Shentu’s laughter, Shentu Jingming returned to the Red Immortal Pond, casually breaking off the second Red Lotus Immortal Lotus Root.
The boiling lava didn’t affect him at all, completely unable to hinder his actions.
“Uh… Is the Third Highness so eager to propagate another Red Lotus Immortal?” Elder Shentu looked on puzzled.
The Third Prince ignored him, carefully stashing the Lotus Root away and exited gracefully.
A little later.
In the Demonic Emperor Hall, laughter erupted from the Demon Emperor: “Good, good, another segment of Lotus Root has grown on the Red Lotus Immortal. Indeed a double blessing, what a good thing, what a good thing~”
“This signifies that our Shentu Clan will prosper, greatly prosper. Although cultivating an additional Red Lotus Immortal will require a significant amount of resources, providing more foundation for future generations is also beneficial. As the saying goes, one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.”
“Your Majesty.” Elder Shi approached with a serious expression, whispering in his ear, “Elder Shentu, who oversees the Red Immortal Pond, stated that the Third Prince took that segment of Lotus Root.”
“What does the little brat want to do?” The Demon Emperor stood up in tension, “He doesn’t mean to try it, does he?”
That truly could be something Shentu Jingming would do. That little rascal, doing something outrageous wouldn’t be surprising.
“It shouldn’t be to that extent.” Elder Shi advised, “Third Highness recently elevated his Bloodline, and the effect of consuming the Red Lotus Immortal Lotus Root would indeed be minimal. He’s reckless, but not a fool.”
“Then, what is that rascal doing with the Lotus Root? Could it be…” The Demon Emperor paused mid-sentence, a “tiger body shock”, considering the greatest likelihood.
Elder Shi smiled bitterly: “Your Majesty guessed correctly. The guards report that the Third Highness went to see Miss Ruobing. Given his pattern of offering gifts, by this time, the item is most likely in Miss Ruobing’s possession.”
“Thump!”
The Demon Emperor collapsed back into his throne, looking drained of spirit and utterly exhausted.
After a long while, he finally spoke weakly, his tone heavy with resentment: “Master Ping’an, maybe we should just give up on this Crown Prince?”
Elder Shi hurriedly began patting his back and shoulders, trying to ease the Demon Emperor’s emotions: “Your Majesty, it may be too late to harbor fear now. Who else can you crown but a Grade C Son of Heaven as Crown Prince?”
“Please, calm down, calm down. Aside from worshiping Miss Ruobing, the Third Highness isn’t too problematic. Your Majesty, just bear with it, bear with it.”
