At the beginning of the world, the earth was dark and cold.

Several years later, nine brilliant suns emerged from the heavens and hung high in the sky. Their radiance illuminated the boundless earth and nurtured the nine suns' spiritual energy.

Spirit energy nourished the world for millions of years, giving birth to all living things, forming the mysterious land of the Nine Suns.

It was unknown when humans had appeared in the Land of the Nine Suns. They comprehended the Heavenly Dao, peeped into the secrets of the heavens, created the Mysterious Dao Technique, absorbed the Nine Suns' spiritual energy to refine their bodies and souls, cultivated the power to defy the heavens, and became the ruler of all living beings in the land of the Nine Suns

.....…

Tian Qin Empire, Imperial City Palace.

At night, the Imperial Palace was brightly lit. Fireworks bloomed in the sky and shone brightly, enveloping tens of thousands of pavilions and palaces. This was to celebrate the newly crowned Crown Prince.

South of the Imperial Palace, in a secluded group of old buildings.

On the roof of a small building, a young man frowned as he looked at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky. His eyes flashed with determination as if he was recalling the past.

The youth's name was Qin Yun. He was fifteen this year. His father was the Tianqin Emperor and his mother was the Empress, but she had passed away many years ago.

He was originally the crown prince, but five years ago, he was plotted against and deposed!

Five years ago, the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor was determined to be a cultivator of demonic arts. He was a martial artist of the demonic path and cultivated one of the forbidden demonic arts!

When this matter spread out, it suddenly caused a huge uproar, and the entire nation was shocked!

In order to protect himself, the Grand Preceptor fled the palace, and his whereabouts were still unknown.

After that, the old officials jointly petitioned the Tian Qin Emperor to abolish the Crown Prince. The reason was that the Crown Prince had been tutored by the Grand Preceptor since he was young, so it was very likely that he had secretly cultivated demonic arts. Moreover, they also asked the Emperor to appoint a new Empress and crown a new Crown Prince to restore the prestige of the country.

The Emperor might have been pressured by the courtiers to do as he was told, so Qin Yun's position as Crown Prince was abolished.

However, the old officials did not give up. They were worried that Qin Yun would accumulate resentment in his heart and secretly cultivate demonic arts. In the future, he would usurp power and take revenge on them.

Therefore, they acted first and reported later. They captured Qin Yun, who was only ten years old at the time, and forcibly extracted four of the five spirit veins in his body.

Qin Yun was born with five spirit veins. Such martial talent was extremely rare. After four of his spirit veins were taken away, he only had one left.

The originally talented Crown Prince had become a mediocre Prince overnight!

Spirit veins were extremely important in cultivating martial arts!

The more spirit veins one had, the more spiritual energy one could sense. The faster and denser the spiritual energy one could absorb, the faster and smoother one's cultivation.

Qin Yun had the Five Sun spirit vein to begin with. His talent was extraordinary and he could sense the spiritual energy of the five suns. Furthermore, after being brutally stripped of four Spiritual Veins, he was left with only one Spiritual Vein. He could only sense the Spiritual Energy of one sun. No matter how hard he worked in the future, it would be hard for him to become a strong cultivator.

"You conspired to frame me and elder sister Grand Preceptor. Not only did you steal my position as crown prince, you also destroyed my spirit vein and severed my martial arts foundation. This enmity is irreconcilable! In the future, when I, Qin Yun, am successful in my cultivation, I will definitely uproot your power! "Qin Yun swore in his heart. His current situation was all thanks to those treacherous old officials.

"Empress, Crown Prince, don't think that I don't know that you are involved in this matter! It doesn't matter if I don't become the Crown Prince, but for destroying my Spirit Vein and severing my martial path, I will slowly settle this score with you! "

Qin Yun possessed five spiritual veins and was also the crown prince. In the future, he would definitely become a martial arts expert and experience the vast and mysterious Nine Suns Nine Desolate World. He did not care about the position of crown prince or emperor because strength was everything!

After he jumped down from the roof, he put on his special weight-bearing equipment and began his night cultivation.

The various weight-bearing equipment on his body added up to more than five hundred kilograms. Because he only had one ordinary spirit vein, he could not quickly absorb spiritual energy to temper his body. Therefore, he could only use this arduous method to temper his body and obtain strength.

"I must become stronger. My fate must be in my own hands!" He wore a few hundred kilograms of heavy equipment and practiced a set of "Spirit Tiger Fist".

This set of fist techniques was something he had bought with all his savings. Although it was of a low grade, it could absorb spiritual energy while tempering his body.

For the past five years, in order to change his fate, in order to possess strength and protect his dignity, Qin Yun had cultivated arduously every day and night, rain or shine …

The fireworks to celebrate the crown prince only stopped late at night. The sky above the palace was shrouded in thick smoke and the smell of gunpowder was thick.

Qin Yun was so tired that he felt weak. Although it was hard to cultivate day and night, it made him feel that his strength was increasing. This was the motivation for him to persevere!

"I'm really tired today. There must be a great effect. I'm going to rest."

He came to the well and was about to draw water to take a bath when an old man suddenly walked over.

This old man was the chief steward of the palace.

"Steward Wang, what's the matter?" Qin Yun hurriedly asked when he saw the old man.

"Fifth Prince!" Steward Wang said solemnly.

When Qin Yun saw Steward Wang's expression, he turned serious as well. "En!"

"The Emperor has ordered that in ten days, all the princes who have yet to step into the fourth level of the Martial Body Stage must join the army and head to the border to fight against the beastman army." Steward Wang's expression was solemn as a hint of sympathy flashed across his eyes.

When Qin Yun heard this, his expression changed drastically. His body suddenly trembled as he clenched his fists tightly, producing a crisp 'ge ge' sound.

A prince who was unable to step into the fourth level of the Martial Body Stage at the age of fifteen was seen as having no fate with the martial way …

It took a lot of resources to raise a group of princes. If the princes were to join the army, not only would they be able to gain the goodwill of the people and soldiers, they would also be able to increase the goodwill of the empire among the commoners. This was also a rule of the Tian Qin Empire over the years.

There were nine levels of the Martial Body Realm. The first three levels were mainly focused on Qi Refinement. If the spirit vein was too weak, it would be difficult for one to sense the sun's spiritual energy in the world.

Qin Yun only had one spirit vein. He could only sense the spiritual energy of one sun. This was the main reason why his cultivation was slow! If it was anyone else, they would have given up on cultivating martial arts. Only he was persisting!

"If you escape at the last moment, once you are arrested, you will be tortured to death …"

Qin Yun could not hear the voice behind Steward Wang. He did not know when Steward Wang had left.

He stood beside the well in a daze, his mind blank. It was as if he had fallen into the depths of a cold well and was constantly struggling. This feeling of helplessness made him despair …

When he was ten years old, he was still a young child. Four of his spirit veins had been extracted by a treacherous official and the Poison Concubine. At that time, there was no one to help him.

From then on, he swore that no matter how much suffering he had to endure, he would become stronger!

Only by becoming stronger would he not be bullied, would he not be taken away by others, and would he not despair in the face of adversity!

At this moment, he was once again in a desperate situation. He was once again engulfed by despair, as if he had returned to five years ago, to the moment when his spirit vein had been extracted.

For the past five years, he had been ridiculed in every way in the imperial palace. No matter how many difficulties he had encountered, he had not given up on cultivating martial arts!

After arduous training, he finally welcomed a glimmer of hope!

He had finally stepped into the second level of the Martial Body Stage!

At that moment, his eyes were brimming with tears. His arduous cultivation had finally paid off!

From then on, he firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, he would one day become a martial arts expert and change his fate!
