Eighteen Years Later
In the Shang State, there stood a great kingdom. An 18-year-old prince named Zi Zhu was forced by his grandfather, the King, to implant nine dragon-locking nails that locked five veins and three meridians, in order to qualify to become the next King
However, Zi Zhu refused and forcibly removed one dragon-locking nail from his body with his own hands before throwing it before his grandfather
"Why would I obey your orders?! If only you had sent just one soldier back then, my father and mother wouldn't have rotted on the battlefield!"
*Listening to Zi Zhu's words, the king's jaw clenched. He didn't even bother to answer his grandson's words and turned around, throwing his ceremonial robes to the floor right in front of Zi Zhu.
"At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, put on your ceremonial attire. You are the new King of Shang."
The King said before leaving his throne and leaving his grandson to nurse his parents' grudges
The Next Day
The ceremony began, and all the people and nobles gathered to witness the coronation ceremony of the new king.
"The auspicious time has arrived! The King's grandson is invited to ascend the stage to receive the Crown!"
The King, sensing something was wrong, asked a servant.
"Where is Zi Zhu?"
Then another servant came rushing in.
"Your Majesty! The Prince escaped through the north door! And his robes are already burning inside the room!"
This news enraged the King, who immediately ordered hundreds of soldiers to capture Zi Zhu
However, Zi Zhu had already gone too far with his giant tiger
Several Days Later
Zi Zhu decided to adopt a commoner appearance and change his name to that of his mother, Youshen Bupo
He had arrived alone in the wilderness, where he would be 1,000,000 miles away from the Shang State
This place wasn't a desert, but rather filled with snow and icy ground
Youshen Bupo walked slowly, knowing this place was teeming with ferocious monsters
After walking for a few minutes, he saw a formation near a hill, like a protective formation filled with crystals, and he saw someone sitting there
Youshen Bupo was curious, thinking that the distance he had traveled had blurred, so he approached the formation, which formed a sharp crystal tunnel
In Your Sea of Consciousness
"It will take another nine days for you to reach the fifth heaven, Master. No one is to disturb you." "You"
Your green dragon said, accompanying you as you focused on the Fifth Heaven test, but his senses immediately twitched when he sensed someone else's presence
"Someone Coming."
Meanwhile, Youshen Bupo's eyebrows furrowed as he looked up. He was right. He saw a beautiful man sitting quietly, your hair silver-white, robes a mix of white and blue, and you even wore long earrings
"Is there really someone keeping a treasure in this wilderness? Is he still alive?"
He stretched it out to make sure you were alive, before feeling a warm breath hit him
Suddenly, the ground shook and the protective crystal formation began to crumble one by one, falling to the ground. Youshen Bupo panicked and wanted to run, but when he saw you sitting peacefully, he didn't hesitate to grab your wrist, press you to his chest, and carry you away from the crystal formation
