Prince Yu is the current emperor's brother, also known as Qing Di, holding a prestigious position that places him just below the emperor in rank.
However, in the hearts of everyone here, Prince Yu carries much more weight than Qing Di, because besides his title as prince, Prince Yu is also a powerful Martial Arts Master.
Prince Yu is a legend of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
From a young age, he displayed exceptional intelligence, excelling in poetry and literature, and possessing grand ambitions. By the age of ten, he could out-argue the prime minister with his eloquence. As a result, all the ministers in the court had already regarded him as the future ruler, and even the old emperor planned to name him crown prince upon reaching adulthood.
If events had followed their original course, the throne would have had nothing to do with Qing Di. Even Qing Di himself never imagined he would one day ascend to the throne.
This was largely due to how dazzling Prince Yu was at that time, so much so that other princes did not even entertain thoughts of competing for the throne.
It is also important to note that at that time, Prince Yu preferred literature over martial arts. According to him, practicing martial arts was too exhausting and not as enjoyable as poetry and literature. In this world that revered martial prowess, this made him somewhat of an oddity.
Yet even with minimal training, Prince Yu's martial arts skills continued to grow steadily. By the age of thirteen, he had reached the Third-Grade Blood Refinement Realm and possessed combat capabilities equivalent to a Level Jump Challenge, having once defeated a palace Fourth Rank Guard.
Everyone believed that on his sixteenth birthday, he would be named crown prince and then ascend to the throne.
However, no one expected that in his fifteenth year, Prince Yu, who had always shunned martial training, suddenly became obsessed with martial arts and announced that he would pursue the highest realm of martial arts instead of inheriting the title of crown prince. This declaration shocked the entire nation.
In an effort to change Prince Yu's mind, ministers took turns persuading him; even the old emperor personally came to advise him. Yet Prince Yu was resolute in his decision, and no one could sway him back.
Then something even more surprising happened. Prince Yu, who was focused solely on martial arts cultivation, seemed to have completely forgotten about poetry and the pleasures of life. He dedicated himself entirely to his training, and soon began to showcase his dazzling talent in martial arts.
In just one month, he broke through to the Third Rank and became a Bone Refinement Realm Martial Cultivator.
After that, he continued to advance rapidly, breaking through two realms within a year. By the age of sixteen, he had already become a Sixth Rank expert.
This talent of Prince Yu even caught the attention of the Silver Moon Sect. After an assessment, the sect leader stated that he had the potential to become a Grandmaster and wished to take him as a disciple.
The title of Grandmaster! This evaluation was incredibly high. Previously, people knew that Prince Yu had astonishing talent, but at most he was considered a genius. Achieving Sixth Rank was already impressive; with some luck, he might even attempt to reach the rank of Master.
However, no one expected that he actually had the potential to become a Grandmaster and would be accepted as a direct disciple by the sect leader of Silver Moon Sect. In comparison, this status was far superior to being an emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Everyone believed that Prince Yu would join the Silver Moon Sect for training. Yet, unexpectedly, Prince Yu declined the opportunity to become a disciple of the sect leader and declared that he would not take anyone as his master.
Prince Yu's decision left the sect leader feeling regretful, but there was no pressure. To put it bluntly, having the potential to become a Grandmaster only meant there was a possibility; martial arts were difficult, and no one could predict what might happen along the way. Perhaps in the end, he might not even achieve the rank of Master.
After rejecting the invitation from Silver Moon Sect, Prince Yu did not display any remarkable progress in martial arts for some time. Instead, he spent four years honing his realm before finally reaching Sixth Rank Peak at the age of twenty and breaking through to the realm of Resonance of Muscles and Bones. When he broke through, the voice of Zhong Ming echoed throughout the palace.
Having ascended to the realm of Resonance of Muscles and Bones, Prince Yu left behind a letter and departed from the Silver Moon Kingdom, stating that he intended to travel the world. For two years afterward, there was no news about him from the kingdom, leading many to believe that he had perished outside.
It was also during the year that Prince Yu disappeared that the old emperor passed away, and eventually, Qing Di, who had long been crowned as crown prince, ascended to the throne.
Two years after Prince Yu's disappearance, when the competition for places in the Holy Land of the Heavenly Martial World began ten years ago, people from the Silver Moon Kingdom who went to witness this decade-long martial arts event discovered that their Prince Yu, surprisingly participating as a Loose Cultivator, had even made it into the top hundred rankings.
Every time the competition for the Sacred Land quota takes place, almost all the core disciples of the younger generation from the super sects participate. To be able to rank among the top hundred in such a group of prodigies is an immense honor!
Unfortunately, after entering the top hundred, Prince Yu encountered a super genius from the Demon Sect during the arena battles and ultimately lost, failing to secure a spot in the Sacred Land.
After participating in the Holy War, Prince Yu did not linger outside but returned to the Silver Moon Kingdom with the official representatives. On the very night they returned to the royal capital, an overwhelming aura suddenly surged within the palace as Prince Yu broke through to achieve the rank of Master.
After achieving mastery in martial arts, it is rumored that Prince Yu has been quietly cultivating within the palace for ten years. Now, a decade has passed, and no one knows how much his strength has grown.
Now, hearing that Emperor Qing plans to summon this legendary figure of the empire, everyone feels confident that this time it will be foolproof. No matter how formidable that rebel from Qingyang City is, he cannot possibly be a match for a martial arts master.
Zhao Gong is even more certain of this because he once heard from his clan's only martial arts master elder that excluding those old monsters who are secretly cultivating within the Silver Moon Sect, among the dozens of martial arts masters residing within the borders of Silver Moon Kingdom, Prince Yu's combat power could likely rank in the top three. One can imagine how formidable he is.
Upon hearing that Emperor Qing would summon Prince Yu, all the ministers and clan leaders felt a sense of relief. After court adjourned, they hurried back to mobilize their respective forces, and nearly half of the national machinery began operating to investigate everything related to Lufan.
Meanwhile, after court adjourned, Emperor Qing changed into casual clothes and took only Li Qianyuan and two palace guards with him. Instead of heading deeper into the palace, he walked outside.
Li Qianyuan found this strange because it was rumored that Prince Yu was cultivating within the palace. Why was His Majesty going outside? Despite his confusion, his profession compelled him to ensure the safety of His Majesty at all costs.
As they walked out, Emperor Qing directly exited through the palace gates, crossed the main street, left through the city gates, and arrived at a simple farmhouse on the outskirts.
At the entrance of that small courtyard hung a small plaque with a jade character on it. Li Qianyuan was stunned; could it be that this farmhouse was actually what Emperor Qing referred to as the residence of Prince Yu? (To be continued.)
