"Moreover, at that time, our Beiming Empire occupied nearly half of the territory of the Jiuyou Continent, even better than some sect families that have been inherited for thousands of years!"
"At that time, the Beiming Empire was so majestic that there were even extremely powerful people in the Earth Martial Realm who surpassed the four spiritual realms."
"Suddenly, the Bei Ming Empire and the royal Ming family have become very prosperous."
"And until later, Emperor Ming Yuan was no longer around. With the inheritance from generation to generation, the national power of our Northern Ming Empire gradually declined. Now, it can only be called an empire!"
"You know, our ancestors back then built the Northern Ming Kingdom, and even the sect forces on the Jiuyou Continent had to stay away!"
Speaking of this, Emperor Mingyong seemed quite lonely and helpless.
Keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business!
Once the disciples of the younger generation show signs of slacking off, the legacy of their ancestors will be lost.
The former Beiming Kingdom and the current Beiming Empire are more than a million miles apart.
Nowadays, there are many sects on Jiuyou Continent, and the Beiming Empire has to be suppressed by those powerful sects and continue to worship them in order to survive.
Time has passed, and tens of thousands of years have been enough to wear away everything.
Mingyong sighed and said again: "It is naturally easy to go from strength to decline, so during this period, many ancient books and treasures in our royal family were plundered."
"In the beginning, there were many fifth-grade spiritual arts and sixth-grade spiritual techniques in the empire, but now... even fourth-grade spiritual techniques can become treasures passed down from generation to generation!"
"And within the royal family, there is no one who has surpassed the four spiritual realms. The Beiming Empire can only occupy hundreds of counties and cities, and its area is no more than tens of thousands of miles!"
Tens of thousands of miles sounds vast, but in fact, compared to the entire Jiuyou Continent, it is just a small area.
When several princes heard this, they all felt helpless.
Nowadays, in the Beiming Empire, the spiritual soul realm warriors are considered to be the top powerful ones.
The price of the fourth-grade spiritual art is astronomical. Any family or force in the empire that possesses the fourth-grade spiritual art will never give it away.
This is enough to become the inheritance of a large family.
In such a huge empire, the fourth rank is already at the top, just like a spiritual warrior, standing high above the rest.
Mingyong breathed out and talked about the past. As a descendant of Emperor Mingyuan, he is now the emperor of Beiming Empire. He has ambitions in his heart that cannot be fulfilled, and he feels guilty!
"The Qingyang Sword and the Qingyue Sword are the two first-grade spiritual swords left at that time."
Mingyong said again: "Although it is a first-grade spiritual sword, there is a fourth-grade spiritual art hidden inside it - the Underworld King's Fist!"
"The Hell King Fist is a fourth-grade spiritual art created by our ancestor, and it is most suitable for the cultivation of my Ming family."
"This fourth-grade spiritual art, for practicing Mahayana, is comparable to the fifth-grade spiritual art!"
Upon hearing this, the breathing of several princes present became rapid.
The Fourth Grade Spirit Art, Hell King Fist, itself is enough to make people gasp in surprise.
But this fourth-grade spiritual art is comparable to that of fifth-grade...
Fifth grade, what is that concept?
A unique and powerful spiritual secret in the entire empire.
As members of the royal family practice, their strength will definitely reach a higher level. Maybe within a few decades, there will be strong men who can surpass the four spiritual realms.
With this, the empire's revival is just around the corner!
Several princes looked at Emperor Mingyong with burning eyes.
"Don't be too happy too early!"
Emperor Mingyong said bitterly: "I have observed these two swords, but there is no magic method. I am sure that these are the Qingyang Sword and Qingyue Sword handed down from our ancestors, but I cannot see through the mystery inside!
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately poured cold water on their hearts.
It's like they have found a path to make their empire powerful, but the path is blocked by a gate. They hold the key, but they can't find where the lock is!
"This is the reason why I have summoned you here!"
Emperor Mingyong said seriously: "If anyone can uncover the secrets in these two sharp swords, I... will make him the crown prince!"
hiss……
In the room, these words rang out, and all the princes immediately gasped.
Unlock the secrets inside the sword, find out how to practice the Hades King Fist, and be crowned the prince!
This is simply a huge temptation!
The position of prince is what all the princes have been yearning for all these years.
Now, Emperor Mingyong can be said to have given them a chance.
"After three days, each of you can find helpers and bring them into the palace. If you open the sword, I will consecrate you on the spot!"
"Whoever opens this sword will be rewarded heavily by me!"
After finishing his words, Emperor Mingyong waved his hand and left the place.
In the main hall, several princes suddenly began to think secretly.
Everyone didn't even have time to congratulate Ming Yu on his promotion to Prince Yu, so they dispersed.
Three days are precious, and they must go all out. The position of the prince is at stake, so they have to be cautious.
Ming Yu did not leave the palace directly. Now as Prince Yu, he could enter the palace to pay homage to his mother.
When he returned to the harem and his mother's palace, Ming Yu told everything about what happened tonight.
"This is a good thing!"
As the mother-in-law of Ming Yu, Concubine Shu's real name is Qin Shuyue. She is not of noble origin. She is just a descendant of the Qin family, the head of a county in the Northern Ming Empire. Compared with the maternal background of several other princes, Ming Yu is also the youngest.
The weak one.
"But even my father can't do anything, how can I do it?"
Ming Yu was a little discouraged: "Brother, Sixth Brother and the others have strong backgrounds. They will definitely be able to find powerful fourth-level spiritual weapon masters and fourth-level spiritual formation masters. I..."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu frowned slightly.
"Where did you come from with this sword?"
"Obtained it at the auction house of Shengdan Pavilion..."
Auction house!
Qin Chen!
Ming Yu's eyes were shining at this moment, and a glint of light flashed away in his eyes.
That’s right, the auction house!
Qin Chen!
Ming Yu recalled Qin Chen's confidence in auctioning this sword before.
He must know that the origin of this sword is not simple, that's why he is so confident.
"Mom, I know, I'll go find him right away!"
Ming Yu immediately stepped away.
Qin Shuyue looked at her son's anxious look and sighed slightly.
"Lonely old man!"
"My subordinate is here!"
In the room, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared.
"Go and investigate where Qin Chen came from!"
"I obey my orders!"
Just as the old man was about to leave, Qin Shuyue sighed and said: "Back then, when the Beiming Empire was still the Beiming Kingdom, my ancestor of the Qin family also followed Emperor Mingyuan in battles and made great achievements!"
"If our Qin family is still like this..."
"Miss!"
The old man said again: "The young master is now very enterprising. The Qin family and the Ming family are now considered a unique alliance, which is also a good thing!"
"Um!"
Qin Shuyue said again: "If the Vermillion Bird Scroll and the Xuanwu Scroll of the Four Spirits Incarnation Sutra of my Qin family are still there, it won't be that I am just the head of a county. At least now, I am as powerful as the Ye family and the Xu family..." Listen
At this point, the old man sighed slightly, said nothing more, and quietly retreated.
