The Emperor of Ming had a premonition from the moment Shi Yan used the Tai Wu Ji.

As a celestial artifact passed down through generations of the Ming Dynasty, only the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were qualified to refine the Taiwu Halberd!

Prince Shi Yan and Prince Jing, the thirteenth prince, are only temporarily displaying part of Tai Wuji's strength by relying on their royal bloodline.

The emergence of the Taiwu Halberd naturally did not escape the notice of its master, the Great Ming Emperor.

The moment Emperor Da Ming sensed Tai Wuji, his heart was filled with excitement and surging emotions!

If the Ming Emperor loses the ancestral immortal artifact in his generation, he will be unworthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty even if he dies. If he is lucky enough to ascend to immortality, he will have no face to face the ancestors who have ascended to immortality in the immortal realm!

Moreover, Shi Yan, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, possesses exceptional talent and has even formed a perfect golden core, attracting a heavenly tribulation! He is the most valued son of the Ming Emperor.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty established the position of Crown Prince early on!

But Elder Xia returned to report that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty had disappeared! And he had disappeared along with Tai Wuji!

Although Elder Xia treated the Thirteenth Prince well, no matter how the Emperor of the Great Ming deals with the Thirteenth Prince, it cannot make up for the crimes he has committed!

Tai Wuji and Shi Yan were the most important people in the heart of the Ming Emperor. Their disappearance caused this all-powerful emperor to age considerably in an instant.

The Ming emperor pretended to turn a blind eye to the infighting and power struggles among his other sons.

After all, for the Ming Dynasty to continue, the succession of the crown prince is of utmost importance!

This requires not only immense strength but also perfect strategy to ascend the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

Undoubtedly, this kind of open and covert struggle among the princes is the best stage to showcase the talents of each prince.

But now, the sudden appearance of Tai Wuji has rekindled a sliver of confidence in the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps my son is still alive?

Emperor Daming had already heard that it was the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect in Qingzhou who had taken the Taiwu Halberd from the thirteenth prince and then handed it over to Crown Prince Shi Yan.

The sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect went to Devil Mountain for training with Shi Yan!

Emperor Ming could no longer sit still and immediately urged all the princes in the capital to go to Qingzhou with him.

Investigate the reason for Tai Wuji's birth, and take the Crown Prince home while you're at it!

However, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not tell the princes the purpose of their trip to Qingzhou. Of course, some princes had a vague idea of ​​the reason, but they found it hard to believe!

At this moment, the enormous royal warship was approaching the territory of Qingzhou. The huge warship, which had been repaired and was resplendent in gold, was flying rapidly in the sky like a prehistoric beast!

The royal warships were all crafted by the continent's top weapon-refining masters. The warship that the Great Ming Emperor rode on was even more elaborately crafted by the three most outstanding weapon-refining masters and formation masters on the continent, with the full support of the nation.

It took fifty years to complete and is inlaid with top-level formations. Not only can it unleash attacks comparable to those of the Void Refinement stage, but its speed, when pushed to the limit, can also rival that of a Void Refinement stage expert!

However, inside the warship, everything was extremely stable. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sat majestically on the dragon throne. As the strongest person on the continent (before Chen Tianwen appeared!), coupled with the aura cultivated from his long reign, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty silenced all the princes below.

The princes, who were usually arrogant and domineering, were now sitting upright and proper.

The Emperor of Ming finally spoke, his majestic voice echoing through the warship:

"Third Prince, I've heard you're doing quite well in Qingzhou lately?"

The third prince immediately rose from his seat and knelt down, cold sweat already dripping from his temples.

Although the Emperor spoke casually, the Third Prince couldn't help but feel nervous. Although all the princes were expanding their power, the Emperor had never mentioned it openly.

The sudden elevation of Qingzhou, coupled with the Emperor's grand and elaborate trip there, must have given the Third Prince pause for thought.

The other princes who didn't get along with the Third Prince secretly revealed gloating smiles when they saw him like this.

Although the Third Prince was nervous, he dared not refuse to answer the Emperor's question. After carefully considering his words, he replied:

“Your Majesty is wise. Some forces in Qingzhou did indeed come to me. I simply told them that if they abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally receive the protection of the Ming Dynasty!”

The Emperor of Ming remained noncommittal to the Third Prince's explanation, and spoke again calmly:

"I can turn a blind eye to what you do in your daily lives, but if you do anything that damages the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, you will be severely punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

All the princes knelt down to receive the imperial decree and express their gratitude!

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty gazed intently, pondering the information he had gathered during this period.

The name "Immortal Sword Sect" was not something that would have appeared in the Emperor's sight before, but now it appears frequently on the Emperor's desk!

It's all because of his sect leader, that man named Chen Tianwen!

Chen Tianwen not only snatched the Taiwu Halberd from the thirteenth prince, but also fought against sea beasts for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and finally killed the Sea Emperor!

Even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty couldn't guarantee that he could kill the Sea Emperor, but Chen Tianwen did it!

This forced the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to take Chen Tianwen's strength into consideration!

However, according to Elder Xia's report, his son, Shi Yan, seems to have a good relationship with Chen Tianwen...

The royal warships finally sailed into Qingzhou. Such a grand sight naturally attracted the attention of countless people, but when they saw the royal family's unique golden warships, they could only look on with envy and hesitate. However, they all wondered in their hearts about the purpose of the Ming Dynasty royal family's visit to Qingzhou.

In the end, everyone agreed that the Ming Dynasty royal family's arrival was definitely due to the return of the mysterious sect leader of the Immortal Sword Sect.

I wonder which prince has arrived this time!

If they knew that the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty had come with all his princes, these people would surely go crazy!

After all, no one in history has ever had such a great deal of influence!

Sensing the presence of the royal warship, Shi Yan and the others from the Divine Sword Sect left the Immortal Sword Sect to await the arrival of the Great Ming Emperor!

Chen Tianwen still hadn't emerged from seclusion, but Shi Yan didn't think it was unreasonable. With his elder brother's strength, there was no need for him to greet anyone.

If Chen Tianwen were to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would only be polite out of respect for his sworn brother, Shi Yan!

Shi Yan also knew the importance of Chen Tianwen's seclusion this time, so he did not disturb him.

Shi Yan has now broken through to the middle stage of the Fusion Realm. The accumulation of strength during this period makes Shi Yan feel that it won't be long before he breaks through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm!

With the addition of Shi Yan's perfect golden core, Shi Yan's strength is now on par with that of the Great Ming Emperor, who is only at the late stage of the Integration Realm!

"My father will be very happy to see that my strength has improved!"
