Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Leaders of many great sects and the heads of many big clans watched the display with unexplained emotions as Long Huan began speaking.

"That is the second prince," one of them said.

"Could be an illusion. Using a technique, pill, or whatnot," someone else said.

"I always wondered where the prince was all this time," an elder of the Immortal Saint Pavillion said. "We only ever saw the Crown Prince, so I had assumed he had been tied up with things in the palace. Is this really him? And he's speaking against his father?"

Several of the people still had a lot of doubts as to even who the person on the screen was, not to mention what he was going to say.

The Emerald King watched the broadcast with intent eyes, trying to discern what the truth of the situation was.

The Gold King refrained from talking at all amidst his advisors who were already telling him to destroy the Newsboard in the city.

The Ivory Queen looked to the sky with clear eyes, doubts and hopes both slowly clouding her vision.

The Silver Queen had already destroyed the broadcast as per her advisor's advice and was now getting information relayed to her through a talisman from her brother who was in another city.

The Ebony King's advisors had long since left him with the Emperor, so he was free to make any decision at the moment. And the decision he made was to let the broadcast run without anybody stopping them. In fact, he actively ordered people to punish anyone who tried to do so.

Many soldiers were stuck around cities watching the broadcast, their loyalties being tested at the moment.

The atmosphere around the empire felt as though major changes were going to happen very, very soon.

Long Fangyu, the Crown Prince, lay on his back on the ground, staring at the sky where the battle had reached another level of chaos.

People fought and died and continued fighting. Blood and corpses rained from the sky every moment.

He watched a young woman with twin tails get pierced by a spear through her back by an old man with gray hair who looked old enough to be her grandfather.

The same old man was hit in the head with 2 arrows and was shot by a middle-aged man with a round face.

The middle-aged man got attacked while distracted and a lightning bolt struck him from the front. He managed to survive, but he had to run away to live.

The Crown Prince watched the man fly away wounded to the giant ship that belonged to the Southern Continent's army, wherein he disappeared.

The Newsboards in the distance showed images of Alex and words he spoke earlier before the battle began. So, the Crown Prince saw no reason to pay any attention to it.

It was only repeating information he had already learned about. Not to mention, it wasn't even that good at spreading the knowledge as everything that came from Alex was nothing more than claims and rumors with no evidence.

Long Fangyu knew the truth, and he knew what was being told was right. But he also knew there would be nothing that this simple message would be able to—

Long Huan appeared on the screen and began talking all of a sudden.

The Crown Prince heard his brother's voice and quickly got up from where he was.

After being struck down by Alex, Long Fangyu had fallen onto a house and had collapsed on its roof. He had remained in the rubble, unable to muster up any motivation to fight or help anyone.

However, the single instance of his brother's voice shook him out of his stupor and gave him purpose again.

"Huan!" he whispered to himself and looked at the message. Was this a recording that Alex had brought back? Was this not his brother? What it perhaps some—

The Crown Prince looked at the background and frowned a little. He recognized the background. That was the building where the Newsboards were controlled from.

The Newsboard headquarters.

"Long Huan is here?" he asked himself.

"Fangyu! Stop wasting your time," a voice came from far away in the sky.

The Dragon Emperor, having gotten some free time away from Alex and Hannah was now focused on the Newsboards with an angry look on his face.

"Father?" Long Fangyu looked up.

"Go and check who that is at the Newsboards headquarters," the Emperor said. "If it's your brother, bring him back. If it's not, kill him. Take the soldiers with you."

Long Fangyu wanted to say something, but he wasn't sure what he would. In the end, he could only nod and obey his father's command.

"I am here to tell you all the information I can about what happened in the past," Long Huan said. "It all started when the Azure Dragon had a child with his new wife, and gave birth to a child."

"I am sure you all remember the day the child was born. It was the day when the sky was filled with gold and green, a birth omen for the incredible child of the Azure Dragon."

"For the child born was born between a Dragon and a Tiger, and was a Tiger himself."

"After the—"

A loud explosion caught Long Huan's attention. He looked to the side and sent out his spiritual sense to check on things. The barrier was weak, but it was still holding.

"Are you guys okay?" he asked Whisker and Shan Wangjiu, both of whom were scared but ready to fight.

"Just do your thing," Shan Wangjiu said. "We'll give you your time, however we can."

Whisker was simply too focused on the barrier being destroyed at any moment now to even reply.

Long Huan took a moment to gather himself and nodded, before turning back toward the console. And he continued.

"The child of the Azure Dragon terrified my father for some reason, so he went to kill him. It wasn't just him either. My mother and several soldiers were taken too."

"In the secret realm, they tried what they could to kill the child. The Azure Dragon fought back but because he was an Immortal and had made a vow to not kill humans, he couldn't fight back properly."

"My father and mother sought to take advantage of that fact, but it went poorly. The Azure Dragon fought with all his might and…" Long Huan took a deep breath. "And he died in the end. My mother died during that battle."

"You might have heard that she had died during her breakthrough to the Immortal realm, but that is incorrect. She died during the fight against the Azure dragon."

Another explosion rang loudly outside, sending terrifying shockwaves through the ground. Long Huan was sure the people viewing this could see the shaking as well.

"But that is not all," he continued. "My father killed the Azure dragon, but he wasn't done with that. He wanted to steal from the Azure Dragon and to do that, he needed the Ivory sword. The sword that I was given from my birth."

"When I found out what had happened and ran away with the sword, refusing to hand it over, my Father attacked me as well."
