Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1551 - 531: Twin Blades and Twin Armors

"Your Majesty?"

It was her uncle too—the current Emperor Jianyuan.

This Emperor of Daning unexpectedly came to You State in person!

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly knelt to pay her respects.

Emperor Jianyuan only smiled slightly, casually flicked his sleeve, preventing Chu Ming from kneeling further.

"Rise! This is not the court, among the common people, you and I, uncle and niece, can be more relaxed."

Chu Ming rose with suspicion and uncertainty: "Why has Your Majesty personally come to You State? The Formless Divine Sect is deeply rooted here, and Qin Muge covers the Northern Territory sky with one hand. Should Your Majesty’s identity be exposed, unforeseen events may occur."

"Unforeseen?" Emperor Jianyuan laughed, pouring himself a cup of wine: "You State is also Daning Territory, am I now not allowed to visit even a county under my rule?"

Chu Ming remained silent.

Does Your Majesty have no self-awareness?

Months ago, Qin Muge and Chu Xisheng had already raised the flag of rebellion and replaced Yan’an County’s prefectural governor.

And since Qin Muge infiltrated Yan State, achieving a great victory at Black Gold Mountain, the ’Green-eyed Military Governor’s prestige in the North has reached an all-time high again.

Currently, the entire You State’s people’s hearts are with that couple.

All the officials and generals, too, are wholeheartedly following Qin Muge in rebellion, aiming to overthrow Daning and gain wealth and honor.

"Rest assured, it’s not like two years ago. Mere Qin Muge and the Formless Divine Sect can do nothing to me now."

Emperor Jianyuan’s expression was self-assured, his eyes condescending.

He held up his wine cup, turning his head to look at Chu Ming: "I hear you’ve already exchanged for the ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’, and are cultivating?"

"Yes!" Chu Ming’s mind tensed, pretending to bow her head respectfully, not letting Emperor Jianyuan see her expression: "This minister has made great progress lately and is expected to master it within three months."

In reality, she could do it in two months; she kept a large reserve.

Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan has an enigmatic smile: "Can you copy it for me?"

Chu Ming muttered to herself ’as expected’, her tone troubled: "Your Majesty! It’s not that Chu Ming is unwilling. Before reviewing the ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’, the Formless Divine Sect made me sign a Divine Contract. This contract has no loopholes; as soon as I write a character, I’ll forget the sword technique in my mind."

Even without the Divine Contract, she would not copy it. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She’s not a fool; the more people practicing the ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’, what would she, Chu Ming, be worth? Cultivating competitors to fight over resources with her?

Back when Qin Xiyang was heavily supported by the court, Chu Ming suffered a lot.

Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan sighed lightly: "I expected this too, it’s a pity, the sword technique grasped by the Formless Divine Sect was invincible martial arts on the battlefield. Even if one or two people master it, they can sweep the Northern Border, suppress the Giant Spirit. But the Formless Divine Sect hides it behind closed doors, cherishing it miserly. Pity, hateful, also resentful!"

He then lightly flicked his sleeve: "Hongchen, give her that thing!"

Xiaao Hongchen stood not far behind Emperor Jianyuan.

Upon hearing this, his expression tensed, he brought a tray to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked at the various porcelain bottles on the tray, momentarily confused: "Your Majesty, may I ask what this is?"

"You should be grateful to His Majesty!"

Xiaao Hongchen said coldly: "This is an ’Eight-Transformation Great Luo Pill’, five ’Nine Orifice Bright Heart Pills’, ten ’Xuanyuan Miao Wu Pills’, twenty ’Heavenly Storage Pills’. And a ’Martial Intent Soul Stone’, left by Qin Li, the chief of Daning Rites Department four hundred years ago.

This is a method of rapid advancement from the Inner Palace, allowing you to acquire all his martial arts experience and, in the shortest time, grasp the First-Grade Martial Arts True Intent."

Emperor Jianyuan took a sip from his cup with a smile: "This can allow you to achieve a First Grade Body within three months. Besides, the court will help you obtain all the secret medicines from Third Grade to First Grade."

Chu Ming was initially shocked and delighted, then her expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty! I’m now restrained by the sect rules and Divine Contract, unable to do anything against the Formless Divine Sect."

She suspected Emperor Jianyuan’s intentions.

She and Emperor Jianyuan indeed had the relationship of uncle and niece, but this Emperor was notoriously cold and fickle.

Even her mother has died! Her mother, Princess Longyang, only reached the Second Grade cultivation until her death.

How much affection could there still be between them?

Why would Emperor Jianyuan give her these things when he wouldn’t even give them to his own sister?

And the fast-track methods inevitably have some shortcomings; their combat strength cannot surpass those who’ve genuinely cultivated to the First Grade.

"I’m not asking you to do anything!"

Emperor Jianyuan snorted lightly, looking displeased: "I’m letting you practice the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade to resist the Northern Giant Spirit! Ming’er, you only need to kill more Giant Spirits in the North to console my heart.

And I and the Northern Territory are bound for a great war. However, the civilians are innocent, and Bing and Yan Two States mustn’t be lost. If you can keep the Bing and Yan Two States before I quash the rebellion, I will reward you heavily!"

At this point, his expression showed slight melancholy, ruefully smiling: "Actually, your mother asked me for these things long ago, but I never agreed. The numerous elixirs she wanted were enough for me to cultivate three First-Grade experts, how could I let her squander them?

Yet after her death, being buried alive by that brute Chu Xisheng, I am filled with regret. These few elixirs, no matter how precious, compared to Longyang’s life, what are they worth? If her cultivation had been even slightly higher, if her martial arts a bit stronger, how could Chu Xisheng have dared to target her?"

Chu Ming was stunned upon hearing this.

Her eyes reddened, she kept her head lowered, silently for a long time.

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan’s expression turned solemn: "I give you these elixirs, firstly hoping you’ll quickly achieve First Grade, becoming a pillar of the country, supporting the Northern Border on behalf of the court;

Secondly, because of your mother Longyang, you’re her only living child, and I can only assuage my guilt towards Longyang through you now; Thirdly, as for Chu Xisheng, I hope you will avenge your mother personally.

Ming’er, if you wish to master ’Vengeful Sky Rules’ to the peak realm, you must complete the ’Vengeance’ secret ceremony. With your current strength, can you kill Chu Xisheng? His cultivation grows daily and has entered the tail end of the Heavenly List. The longer you delay, the less possible it will be to kill him. These things are the opportunity I’m giving you, it’s the only thing I can do for you now."

Chu Ming’s body trembled slightly, raising her head to look at Emperor Jianyuan: "Your Majesty!"

But Emperor Jianyuan had already stood up.

He walked to Chu Ming’s side, patting the young girl’s shoulder: "From now on, focus sincerely and choose your timing wisely! I have high expectations for you and await your good news."

At this moment, a hint of a smile appeared in Emperor Jianyuan’s eyes.

His gaze indeed held anticipation but also contained a trace of greed.

Emperor Jianyuan could see that Chu Ming still had concerns.

However, with these elixirs laid in front and Chu Xisheng, the mortal enemy, before her, what choice does Chu Ming have?
