Chapter 678: Appointed an official and made a wish
In ancient times, there were thousands of races, hundreds of which were dominant, and the human race was weak. If it were not for the birth of the Martial Ancestor, the rise of generations of powerful people such as the Taoist Ancestor, the Buddha Ancestor, and Confucius, the human race would have long become the dust of history.

However, the fact that the human race was able to drive the hundreds of gods and demons out of the Central Plains was not solely the ability of the human race; other races also assisted.

After the great cause was accomplished, the human race became powerful, and all the races united to fight against it, and were collectively called the demon race!

This era is the modern era!

Humans and demons fought each other, demons and ghosts were rampant, and conflicts continued everywhere.

Later, a heroic leader was born among the demon clan, he was called the Demon King!

After the Demon King was born, he formed alliances and unified many demon tribes to establish the Demon Court, which had the potential to overwhelm the human race. At that time, the human dynasty was incompetent and was in disarray!

The human race is in danger!

At this moment, Xia Huangtian, the ancestor of the Xia family and the founder of the Xia Dynasty, accidentally obtained the Martial Ancestor's Enlightenment Tablet, and created the Five Virtues Heavenly Fist from scratch, making him invincible in the world.

He suppressed the demon tribes of thirty-six states and defeated the Demon King in one fell swoop. This is what is called the right way to gain a country and no one can match him.

It was he who created the gods of humanity, and canonized gods with the luck of the human race, which greatly enhanced the strength of the human race.

However, the world has undergone another change since then, the demon race has become increasingly rare, and the power of the gods has also declined a lot.

Perhaps Emperor Xia had already anticipated this day. The large-scale enthronement of human gods would inevitably consume the dynasty's fortune, so he made several preparations, including burying a magical artifact at the location of the boundary-guarding beast behind the four-domain boundary marker.

They are:
East, the Azure Dragon Sword of Eternal Life.

West, White Tiger Zanpakuto.

South, Vermillion Bird Glass Lamp.

North, Xuanwu's seal to suppress the world.

This magical weapon has been buried outside the boundary marker, in the place where the divine beasts lived for thousands of years. It has long since gathered the spirits and essences of the four divine beasts and the luck of the four realms. Each one is a peerless divine weapon.

As long as the four great divine artifacts are activated, they can naturally suppress the world for thousands of years.

It has to be said that this ancestor of the Xia family did have foresight for future generations, but he did not expect that his descendants would be so incompetent that they could not hold on before the four great artifacts were achieved. A major change five hundred years ago caused the Xia family's fortune to be damaged, and now they have almost lost control of other regions except the core Kyushu.

Fortunately, I have persisted until today!

Not only the Fourteenth Prince is on this road, but there are also troops in the four extreme regions, just to retrieve these four national artifacts.

The Fourteenth Prince suddenly realized that this operation had more significance than just that. The Xia Clan and the Demon Sect each had their own agenda. Using the Four Princes as bait, they were deliberately leaking information to those dissatisfied with the Xia Clan's rule, thus clipping their wings. While the Fourteenth Prince was unaware of the situation in the other three factions, at this point, he knew he was already ninety percent successful. With just one more effort to capture the White Tiger Zanpakutō, his status would undoubtedly rise significantly upon his return to the court. Achieving that position wasn't entirely out of the question.
There was a flame of desire burning in his eyes, and the fiery look made others feel unfamiliar.

"Our target is under the lake. You guys cover me while I get there!" The Fourteenth Prince's breathing became rapid, and his tone became more severe.

The Red Leaf Scholar could only say, "Your Highness, you saw what happened just now. Any ferocious beast that tries to cross this open space and reach the White Tiger's remains will be attacked by all of them. If we go through, the outcome will not be good."

"Haven't you noticed? Although they are fighting ferociously now, their destructive power is not as great as before outside. This is because the White Tiger, as the guardian beast of the world, has a suppressive effect on them. Although it is just a skeleton, it can limit their strength and prevent them from exerting abilities higher than the realm of magical powers. They can only rely on their strong bodies, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be used by them. This gives us an opportunity. Once I get this treasure, these strange beasts will be nothing. Besides, as long as we don't touch the White Tiger's bones, they will probably not make things too difficult for us." Although the Fourteenth Prince was anxious at the moment, he still spoke clearly and did not forget to paint a big picture.

"I will escort you out and we will return the same way. After the mission is accomplished, I will not only forgive you for what happened, but I will also report to my father. You are all great contributors to our Great Xia, and each of you will be rewarded! Don't worry, as long as we retrieve the artifact, our Great Xia will be as stable as an iron barrel and will last for tens of millions of years! You have all made great contributions!"

At the same time, the Fourteenth Prince raised the ancient bronze lamp in his hand and said, "After I leave, I will use this lamp to persuade the Taoist master of the Holy Sect to withdraw his magical powers and no longer restrict your lives. If you are willing, you can follow me. If not, I will give you freedom!"

Although these words were comforting, they were actually reminding others not to forget that their lives were still in his hands. Everyone was helpless for the moment, but they could only respond.

Dugu Fang took a deep puff of his cigarette, white smoke pouring out of his mouth and nose, and then he said solemnly: "Forget it, forget it. Even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will definitely protect Your Highness and help him succeed. But I hope Your Highness will have mercy on me as I am too old and can't withstand the wind and rain. Please give me a free body. I am grateful for your kindness and dare not refuse to die for you."

"If I can help His Royal Highness achieve success, I will definitely return to the mountain to reflect on myself. The Mingyue Temple on the Great Snow Mountain has been closed for thirty years, and everyone in the temple will pray for His Royal Highness day and night." Hui Lin also bowed again and said.

Lu Qingxiang said, "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the Lu family as your vanguard."

The Red Leaf Scholar also gave a bitter smile and said, "If His Royal Highness the Prince is worthy of me, then please accept a useless scholar like me into your service."

The Fourteenth Prince nodded in satisfaction and said, "With your help, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things!"

Then he looked at Zi Yi and Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness at my utmost. Please do not forget your previous promise!"

"Hahaha, what's the difficulty?" The Fourteenth Prince laughed loudly, flicked his hand and took out a scroll from his bosom and said, "Mr. Li, you won't think what I said before is false, right? This is the secret manual of the magical power "Taishang Dragon and Tiger Seal". Since you have selected "Dragon and Tiger True Body" from the Dragon Palace, I will carry this secret manual with me. Please rest assured, the Royal Arsenal will open its doors to you after the matter is completed! Moreover, there will definitely be a place for you in the Tianxia Academy that Commander Qiao mentioned!"

Li Ming took the secret book carefully, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Fourteenth Prince quickly pulled Li Ming up, held Li Ming's hand and said, "Mr. Li, there is no need to be like this. You are a man of great talent. With your help, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things!"

Zi Yi then said, "This is a major plan for the Xia family and the Holy Sect. How dare I be careless? Your Highness, please rest assured."

Seeing everyone working together, the Fourteenth Prince was delighted. He waved his hand and said, "Let's break through!"
