Great Xia.
Chang’an.
Within the Imperial City.
Tianwen Palace.
This was the only cold palace in Xia Palace.
Compared to the majestic and towering palace of Great Xia, the Tianwen Palace was dilapidated and desolate. Weeds reached knee-high, and the palace had been in disrepair for many years. It could collapse at any time. This was simply a dangerous house.
The bright morning sun shone through the window and into the hall. A man sat in front of the desk in the room, holding a scroll in his hand and reading it carefully. He had a delicate appearance and an elegant temperament.
He was the master of Tianwen Palace, the deposed Crown Prince of Great Xia, Ye Xuan.
He put down the scroll in his hand and walked to the window. “It’s been three years.”
Three years ago, he had transmigrated here and obtained this body. From his memories, he learned that he had been imprisoned in the cold palace because of his mother.
His mother was originally the princess of the Tianyu Empire and later married Emperor Xia and became the empress. The two empires were on good terms with the Qin and Jin Dynasties. There had never been any wars, and they had always been trading. However, it was three years ago that Great Xia and Tianyu were constantly at war.
In the battle of Hantian Pass, the 200000 soldiers of Xia were completely annihilated. The ministers in the imperial court jointly accused his mother, saying that she had secretly passed the information to the Tianyu Empire, which led to the great defeat of Xia.
In a fit of anger, Emperor Xia wanted to kill the empress, but she was saved in time of crisis. Ye Xuan was not so lucky. He was supposed to be executed, but in the end, Emperor Xia went against all opinions and banished him to the cold palace.
In the past three years, Emperor Xia had not come to Tianwen Palace even once, as if he had long forgotten about him.
Fortunately, he transmigrated here and had the check-in system.
It was a system that allowed one to check in at different places and receive different rewards.
There were also monthly and annual check-ins. The rewards for each check-in were different, especially for the annual check-ins, which were very generous.
After three years of check-in, he finally broke through to the Great Grandmaster realm.
In this world, martial arts were divided into the following levels: Body Tempering, Qi Refining, Bone Molding, Xiantian, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Tongxuan, Mingxuan, and Poxuan. Each realm was further divided into ten levels.
Ye Xuan had read many ancient books about the nine states. So far, the only martial artists in Great Xia who had reached the Grandmaster realm in their early years were the first emperor of Great Xia.
Currently, the most powerful cultivator in Xia was in the Mingxuan realm. He was the old ancestor of the Xia royal family. It was rumored that he was in the royal family’s ancestral land. He would only make a move if Great Xia was in danger of being destroyed.
Although he was already a Great Grandmaster, it was far from enough, so he never planned to leave the Tianwen Cold Palace. He decided to leave until he was truly invincible.
In the past two years, he had obtained pills, secret techniques, divine powers, and cultivation techniques through monthly and annual check-ins.
In the first annual check-in, he obtained the loyalty of the commander of the embroidered uniform guards, Cao Zhengchun, and five thousand members of the embroidered uniform guards who supervised the world (Note: Tongxuan realm).
During the second year’s check-in, he obtained the loyalty of the Ghost God Lu Bu (Note: Great Grandmaster).
Looking at the time, it was time for the annual check-in again. He didn’t know what kind of surprise there would be this time.
The rewards for each year’s check-in were more impressive.
“Ding, Master, a reminder for you. Do you want to start the third annual check-in immediately?”
“Start immediately.”
“Ding, congratulations Master, check-in successful, you have obtained the loyalty of 3,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry (Note: Xiantian Level Ten). It can be summoned and used at any time.”
“Ding, congratulations Master, your cultivation has broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm. System reward: a cultivation gift bag, you can use at any time.”
A cultivation gift bag.
3,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?
Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and he was shocked. This cavalry was unparalleled in the world and would definitely be the champion of the nine states.
It was said that Guangling did not know the cold, and the great snow dragon rode down to Jiangnan.
Among the vassals of the world, there had always been a saying, “the armored cavalry of Northern Liang is the best in the world, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the best in Northern Liang.”
The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry’s soldiers and generals were all ruthless people who could fight one against a hundred. In terms of battle records, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was also shocking. The ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry didn’t even waste a single soldier and directly scared off sixty thousand enemy troops.
Wherever it passed, all the soldiers in the world changed their expressions.
This cavalry appeared in the nine states, and once they appeared on the battlefield, their name would shake the world, and they would be listed as one of the strongest armies.
Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He suddenly thought of handing over the 3,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to Lu Bu. What kind of legend would they create on the battlefield?
Then, he looked at the cultivation gift bag. “System, open the cultivation gift bag immediately.”
“Ding, congratulations, Master. You have successfully opened the cultivation gift pack. You have received one Tongxuan Inheritance Card, one Instant Kill Card, and one Berserk Card.”
Hearing the system’s notification, Ye Xuan was stunned. He slowly raised his arm, and three cards appeared in his palm. For Tongxuan Inheritance Card, one’s cultivation could instantly break through to Tongxuan level one after using it.
The Instant Kill Card could kill an enemy of any realm in seconds after use.
For the Berserk Card, one’s entire body would enter a berserk state, and one’s cultivation would instantly increase by several realms after using it.
Ye Xuan looked at the introduction of the three cards in front of him, and his expression changed slightly. This was too strong. With these three cards, he was considered invincible. No one in the Great Xia Empire could do anything to him.
Even if the royal family’s ancestor were to make a move, it would only take an Instant Kill Card to deal with him.
There was a moment of silence.
He turned to the wooden table and sat cross-legged, preparing to use the Tongxuan Inheritance Card to raise his realm to the Tongxuan realm. Only with great strength could he protect himself. Since this world was ruled by the strong, he had to be the strongest.
….
At this moment, in the imperial study of the Xia Palace.
The officials stood in the hall, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. All of them were silent as if they were walking on thin ice.
Emperor Xia said in a deep voice, “the army of the Northern Barbarian Empire has returned and taken down several cities in succession. All the generals sent to the north have fallen. My three princes have also been buried in this war. My dear ministers, what do you think the empire should do in this war?”
Everyone remained silent.
Emperor Xia continued, “Grand Tutor, speak.”
Grand Tutor Li Lingxiao stepped out of the ranks and bowed. “Your Majesty, the battle at Hantian Pass three years ago had caused great damage to Xia. These past few years, the surrounding countries have invaded our borders. Their rapacious ambitions are clear as day. The Northern Barbarians have raised their troops and are charging straight into our borders. They want to completely destroy Great Xia. I think that we should negotiate peace with the Northern Barbarians and agree to their request to solve the urgent situation first.”
Emperor Xia’s gaze fell upon Li Lingxiao. “Grand Tutor, your intention is to seek peace. If we agree to the Northern Barbarian Empire’s request, the other countries will gang up on us and completely divide up Great Xia. This is a precedent that can not be set.”
Li Lingxiao replied, “Your Majesty since you do not want to make peace, we can only continue fighting. The number of soldiers the empire can mobilize is too small. The three princes have been buried at the border. Right now, the Sixth Prince is the only hope for the empire.”
“If the Sixth Prince is defeated, then there really won’t be any more generals to deploy.”
Emperor Xia’s face was as dark as water. Since the war with the Xia barbarians, 51 generals of Great Xia had died in battle. If the Sixth Prince could not turn the tide, Great Xia would really be in danger.
At this moment.
Li Lingxiao shot a look at the old man beside him. The latter stepped out of the ranks and bowed. “Your Majesty, the Directorate of Celestials has been observing the stars at night. The jinx is still in the east. If we don’t get rid of it, the Great Xia will be in danger.”
Emperor Xia was imposing without being angry, and his expression was extremely ugly. The Directorate of Celestials mentioned the jinx once again. He could not help but think of what had happened three years ago. When Empress Yu was rescued, these people said that Crown Prince Ye Xuan was a jinx.
In the end, Emperor Xia went against the will of the masses to protect Ye Xuan and could only imprison him in the cold palace. Now that the old matter was brought up again, they pointed the spearhead at Ye Xuan.
“Minister Wu, you said that the dethroned Crown Prince is a jinx, but you still haven’t given me any evidence even after three years.”
Wu Yinting replied, “Your Majesty, the jinx has descended, devouring the empire’s fate, the dark vortex devouring dragons, and the green nether devouring the Heavens. When the empire’s fortune is gone, the limitless Great Xia will fall.”
“Your Majesty, please reconsider. Eliminate the jinx and bring prosperity to Great Xia.”
As his voice fell, the ministers in the hall appeared one after another to echo his words.
“Your Majesty, please eliminate the jinx and bring Great Xia to prosperity.”
“Your Majesty, please eliminate the jinx and bring Great Xia to prosperity.”
Great Xia.
Chang’an.
Within the Imperial City.
Tianwen Palace.
This was the only cold palace in Xia Palace.

A cultivation gift bag.
