Chapter 7 : Celestial Warrior
A woman stood at the entrance of the Third Prince's Palace. Her long silver hair came down to her waist behind her back, creating a stark contrast with her abyss-like deep black eyes.
The woman was clearly a beauty that could bring the downfall of kingdoms. However, currently, no one was even daring to look her in the eyes. Just the aura around her was suffocating enough.
The woman had donned golden armor as if she wasn't a princess but a great warrior who could slice people in half with a single swing of her Sword.
No one dared to underestimate her. However, the reason she could afford to be arrogant in front of the tyrannical Third Prince's Palace had nothing to do with her strength! Instead, it was because of her identity!
The guards of the Third Prince's Palace looked at the silver-haired woman with awkward expressions. It was as if she had put them in a dangerous position by coming here.
This wasn't the first time she had come here either. Every time she came here, they would be the ones to suffer after all! They always had to tread on a thin rope whenever she came here.
"Lady Rouyin, what brought you here at this time?"
A calm voice came as the Palace gates opened. A man walked out from within the castle. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
The man had also donned an Armor. Moreover, his aura was even stronger than the silver-haired lady outside. Despite that, he was still respectful to her, and there wasn't a single guard who didn't understand why!
"Lord Zi!" All the Palace guards respectfully greeted the man.
The man was the protector of the Third Prince and also the captain of the guards who were responsible for the security of the third prince and this Palace.
In fact, only a few people knew that the protector of the Third Prince assigned by the Emperor was even stronger than the Protector of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince!
The Third Prince was much different from the other Princes. Not only did he have no interest in the working of the Dynasty, but he also didn't have many friends. In his Palace, the third prince didn't even have a single maid!
Other than the Royal Guards, who were personally selected by the Third Prince and the chef, no one else lived in the majestic palace.
"I'm here to meet the Third Prince."
The woman called Rouyin directly responded without any hesitation.
Zi Huang raised his head, glancing at the beautiful moon in the sky. It was almost midnight which made her sudden visit even more strange.
"Lady Rouyin, I would have to ask for your apology. But your trip seems to be wasted. The Third Prince isn't in the Palace."
Even though her sudden visit at this time surprised Zi Huang, he clearly understood why she selected this time.
Other than the Royal Family, there were also four powerful clans in the Eternal Dynasty that possessed immense strength and wealth! They were known as the four great clans of the Dynasty.
They were the Chen Clan, the Yan Clan, the Lin Clan, and the Wei Clan. Even though the four great clans were much weaker than the Royal Family, they still couldn't be underestimated as they had produced many great Celestial Warriors throughout the years!
The lady before him was called Chen Rouyin, and she was the little princess of the Chen Clan. She was the youngest daughter of the Chen Family Patriarch.
However, there was another identity that she possessed which was the real reason that everyone was scared of her. She was the Fiancee of the Third Prince!
Even though she had never met the third prince, their marriage was said to be decided when the Third Prince was very young.
Unfortunately, as the third prince grew up, many things changed. His personality was more than ideal for the world.
The Third Prince could not absorb even the slightest of Celestial Aura of the world and was unable to step on the path of becoming a Celestial Warrior. What was worse was that he didn't awaken a Celestial Spirit that many great prodigies awakened at the age of ten.
As if that wasn't enough of a tragedy, the Third Prince's fate was even worse!
In this world, there were many people who weren't born with an innate Celestial Spirit. However, they still had other ways! The world also had something called the Worldly Spirits that were born in this world.
The ones who couldn't awaken the innate Celestial Spirit could still follow the second-best path... Which was to capture a worldly spirit and absorb it inside their body. That way, they could still use the Worldly Spirit and its abilities in the future.
The Emperor searched far and wide and captured many precious Worldly Spirits, including weapon spirits, beast spirits, or even some special spirits like plant spirits and more. Unfortunately, for some reason, the Third Prince couldn't absorb that either!
It was as if the Third Prince was cursed and was destined to be a mortal! While all the other prodigies became Celestial Warriors thanks to the Celestial and Worldly Spirits, the Third Prince couldn't do much. He was still a mere mortal.
....
Back inside his room, Xu Shan had finished writing the wish in the book. Even though he felt a massive headache following his wish turning golden in the book, he did feel some foreign memories rush inside his head!
There were so many memories that he couldn't even go through all of them at once. He started with the recent memories that could answer his current questions. Just as he expected, the world wasn't ordinary like earth!
Through these memories, he came to know that the world was known as the Celestial Realm! He could only find one word to describe this place... Heavenly!
In this world, humans could gain powers that were beyond their means, thanks to the Celestial Spirits and Worldly Spirits.
He also realized how the strength of a Celestial Warrior was classified in this world. It started with the realm of Celestial Warrior that differentiated between an ordinary person and someone who had stepped on the path of the Celestial!
After the Celestial Warrior Realm, the next Realm was Celestial General, followed by Earth Celestial, Sky Celestial, and Heavenly Celestial!
Thanks to these memories, he finally realized just how dangerous this world was! A celestial warrior could kill an ordinary person like him with a simple wave of their hand after all! If he didn't have the identity of the Third Prince and his guards, he could only imagine how many times he would've died by now!
