My Fiancée Broke Our Engagement for Her Best Friend, but I Awakened the Chaotic Divine Body - Chapter 11:
Chapter 11: The Eldest Princess of the Great Li Empire
Ling Guhai respectfully reported, “Sect Master, I have already conducted a thorough investigation across the entire city over the past two days. On the night the heavenly phenomenon occurred, there were only a handful of breakthroughs.”
“Other than Young Master Gao Yang, there was no one else who displayed the signs of a spirit body.”
Jiang Qianhe’s eyes lit up as he looked at Gao Yang and nodded repeatedly. “Excellent. Truly a fine young man.”
As he spoke, Jiang Qianhe slightly raised his palm, and a brilliant glow immediately burst forth.
Everyone then witnessed a dazzling array of rare treasures and spiritual items fly out, and the Universe Ring meant to hold such treasures floated directly to Gao Yang.
“I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare a proper gift. Accept these for now. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask.”
The entire city was stunned by this scene.
Heavenly materials and precious treasures, rare pills and miraculous elixirs—just one of them would be enough to shake Lingqu City.
Some of these items had never even been seen by the city’s most powerful families.
And with one casual gesture from the Sect Master, even if those great families emptied their vaults, they wouldn’t be able to match it.
What shocked everyone even more was that they knew the Sect Master wasn’t being modest—this truly was just a small greeting gift.
To gain the Sect Master’s favor meant that from now on, heavenly treasures would be endless, and rising to the top would be within reach.
“Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you!” Gao Yang was overjoyed as he collected every treasure. At the same time, he seethed with hatred. If the Sect Master had come sooner, he wouldn’t have even bothered with Qin Xiu’s pathetic possessions—he should’ve killed him long ago.
But it didn’t matter anymore. Today marked the day of his ascent, and also the day that trash would die.
Although Jiang Qianhe hadn’t sensed any profound depth of a spirit body from Gao Yang, he didn’t think too much about it. He knew the stronger the spirit body, the more it needed heavenly treasures to awaken.
“Phew, the teleportation arrays weren’t used in vain.” Jiang Qianhe was pleased. Using teleportation formations all the way from the Heavenly Profound Sect to Lingqu City had cost hundreds of spirit stones, but for a spirit body of this caliber—what did it matter?
Suddenly, a burst of light flared behind him, freezing the smile on Jiang Qianhe’s face.
Not good!
The once dormant teleportation array abruptly lit up again. And when everyone saw the glowing formation symbols, those who had just stood up immediately fell to their knees once more.
Great Li!
Jiang Qianhe’s face twitched. He knew all too well what those twin formation symbols meant.
Teleportation arrays in the Great Li Empire were part of the imperial network. In times of great calamity, beast tide, or invasion, the Empire could mobilize all teleportation arrays at will.
When the imperial formation symbols flashed, it signaled every unrelated party to clear the way. Disobedience meant death.
But that only happened in times of national crisis. Ling Guhai, the city lord, stood stunned—this had never happened in Lingqu City before.
“The imperial privilege… They’re using it to compete with me over a recruit?!” Jiang Qianhe gritted his teeth. His entire plan was to reach Lingqu City first and take Gao Yang away. He hadn’t expected the Royal Academy to think the same way.
Figures began appearing within the formation.
The one in the lead wore a red dress like blazing fire. Her tall, shapely figure was elegant yet awe-inspiring. Embroidered on her hem was the auspicious image of a fire phoenix. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, cold and noble—one dared only to look up at her from afar.
Because the pride and confidence radiating from her bones could only come from one who was born a peerless jewel of the heavens.
“Greetings to the Eldest Princess!”
“Greetings to the Eldest Princess!”
Once again, the entire city erupted in waves of bowing and greets, filled with reverence.
Even someone as powerful as Jiang Qianhe could only force a smile. “Your Highness, I didn’t expect this matter to alarm even you.”
At his level, he needn’t smile at ordinary royalty.
But this Eldest Princess was no mere figurehead basking in luxury. She was the pride of the imperial family’s current generation—a true peerless genius known throughout the Empire.
The Eldest Princess smiled gently, radiant and graceful. Her voice was clear and calm, maintaining composure even in front of a sect master. “Sect Master Jiang, I trust you’ve been well.”
Jiang Qianhe’s smile was stiff, especially when the princess’s eyes passed over him and her red dress swayed as she surveyed all of Lingqu City.
“May I ask, which peerless genius summoned divine thunder from the heavens and turned night into day?”
Upon hearing her identity, Gao Yang’s heart raced wildly.
“I am Gao Yang. Greetings, Your Highness.” As he greeted, he also peeked up and caught a glimpse of the Eldest Princess’s celestial beauty—his blood surged with excitement.
The Eldest Princess represented the Great Li imperial family. She was also here for him!
With his spirit body, if nurtured by the royal family, then one day, once he reached peak strength, maybe even the princess herself would fall for him…
The princess nodded slightly, her clear eyes flashing. In truth, her master hadn’t wanted her to come. But she couldn’t swallow the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Over the years, she had cultivated with diligence and incredible talent, outshining all the other heavenly chosen in the capital. And yet, her master had given the Royal Academy’s inheritance token to someone she had never met.
But along her journey here, she had heard all about the unprecedented phenomenon of that night.
Seeing that Jiang Qianhe was also present, she was certain she had come to the right place.
The Eldest Princess’s mood was somewhat like Yun Xuerong’s earlier, but she could not neglect imperial etiquette.
She raised her fair, jade-like hand, and with a flick, a Universe Ring floated through the air.
“I’m sure Sect Master Jiang has already given you a gift. Young master, feel free to compare—the treasures of the Great Li imperial family are in no way inferior to the Heavenly Profound Sect’s.”
Gao Yang received the Universe Ring and immediately used spiritual Qi to inspect it. Joy filled his face.
Such grandeur—truly worthy of the Great Li imperial family!
While Gao Yang was lost in delight, the Eldest Princess raised a black-gold shimmering command token.
On the front were the bold characters: “Great Li.”
On the back: “Gather the talents of the world, inherit the glory of Great Li!”
Just ten words, yet they carried unmatched might and grandeur—enough to drive every genius in the Empire mad with envy.
“Young Master Gao, my master specifically instructed that if you are willing to return with me to the imperial capital, this token will be yours.”
Gao Yang was still stunned, but Jiang Qianhe’s lips visibly twitched.
That old man… he even brought out that thing?
This was clearly opening the entire treasure vault of the Royal Academy to Gao Yang!
Who could ignore the imperial family’s authority?
But Jiang Qianhe took a deep breath, then directly made his stance clear before the entire city. “Your Highness, don’t you think this is a bit excessive? Lingqu City falls under the jurisdiction of my Heavenly Profound Sect.”
The Eldest Princess’s smile didn’t waver. Her voice was soft yet cold and firm, and her words were nothing short of domineering.
“The whole world belongs to the Empire. Surely Sect Master Jiang understands that?”
“Besides, our Royal Academy has always held the duty of nurturing the nation’s prodigies.”
Within his sleeve, Jiang Qianhe’s fist clenched slightly, and his body took a step forward. When he spoke again, the oppressive might of a sect master swept across the entire city.
“Your Highness may not be aware, but Young Master Gao and I share a fated connection. All the elders of the Heavenly Profound Sect greatly favor him as well.”
“Even if I were to give my consent, these disciples behind me might be unwilling to part with such a rare genius.”

Is this for real? Now this dickhead Gao Yang is getting countless riches, connections and opportunities just because no one can be bothered to verify that it’s actually him who has the divine body?
