The Great Dao Golden List, Me! The Supreme Martial God Exposed – Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Li Shimin and the Empress

“The Martial Path Reaches the Divine!”

“Heaven’s Mandate Sword Way.”

Yang Lin said, “What an arrogant tone!”

“Without strength, it’s called arrogance; with strength, it’s called dominance.”

Yang Guang smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, “Martial God, the Martial Path Reaches the Divine, perhaps it really is one person!”

“Whether it’s one person or not, when the Nine Continents are unified, I want to see if his King’s Power Sword is more powerful, or my Xuanyuan Sword is sharper!”

In Yuwen Tuo’s eyes, sword intent surged, his fighting spirit high, eager to try.

“If there is a chance, I would like to watch the battle.”

Yang Guang spoke, his words filled with anticipation.

Regarding Yuwen Tuo’s strength.

He had great confidence.

Yuwen Tuo said softly, “If there is a chance, I will report to Your Majesty.”

“Good! Then I shall wait and see.”

Yang Guang nodded, continuing to look at the remaining Divine Sword List.

“This Divine Sword List actually has a hundred names, it seems the sword path of the Middle Continent Great Qin is extremely prosperous!”

Reliable Mountain King Yang Lin looked at the entire list, his eyes solemn, and said, “Especially the Martial God, one person occupied nine of the top ten spots on the list, his strength must be extraordinary.”

“Maybe the Martial God is a blacksmith!”

Yang Guang smiled, making a joke.

The Martial God was definitely not a blacksmith.

Otherwise, he would be called the Iron God or the Craftsman God.

“It’s just, why isn’t the Martial God called the Sword God?”

Yang Lin looked at the Divine Sword List, a doubt rising in his heart, “Could it be that the Martial God’s greatest strength isn’t the sword?”

Taiyuan.

King of Tang Li Yuan gathered his civil and military officials, looking at the golden list in the sky, and said, “Now that the Nine Continents are about to be unified, the situation of the world will inevitably change greatly.”

Upon hearing this, some of the officials’ eyes were solemn, some were excited, their expressions varied.

Second Son Li Shimin stepped forward and said, “Royal Father, now that the Nine Continents have not yet been unified, we should do our best to expand our strength. Only by being strong ourselves can we establish ourselves in the coming era of great contention and achieve the hegemony of kings.”

“At the same time, we must prepare. Once the Nine Continents are unified, we must quickly understand the situation of the forces in other continents, form alliances, and choose suitable forces for marriage alliances, forming an alliance of offense and defense…”

As Li Shimin’s voice fell, many civil and military officials present echoed:

“What the Second Son said is very true. Once the Nine Continents are unified, there will probably be many empires no weaker than the Great Sui. If we want to develop, we must seek allies and form alliances!”

“Seeking allies is imperative!”

“Damn it! He got to show off again!”

Watching the officials agree, Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son, roared in his heart, a flash of killing intent in the depths of his eyes.

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, “With the unification of the Nine Continents, the forces of each continent will border each other, and conflicts will inevitably occur. If we want to establish ourselves, we do need suitable allies. This matter…”

Li Yuan was preparing to hand this matter over to Li Shimin.

However, before he could speak, Li Jiancheng quickly stepped forward and said:

“Royal Father, this son’s Buliangren are best at gathering information. This matter should be left to this son. This son will definitely investigate the details of each force for the Great Tang and find the most suitable allies for the Great Tang.”

“Alright, then you will be responsible for this matter.”

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and agreed.

He also knew that Li Shimin’s limelight had overshadowed his eldest son, Li Jiancheng.

If this continued, it would not be a good thing.

“Royal Father, rest assured, this son will certainly live up to your expectations.”

Li Jiancheng bowed with cupped hands, his heart filled with joy, and glanced at Li Shimin triumphantly, like a victorious rooster.

Fengxiang.

Prince Qi’s Residence.

In front of the main hall window, a figure stood with hands behind her back.

She was dressed in royal robes, noble and dignified!

With bright eyes and white teeth, her face was handsome, cold, and her spirit was radiant!

Her frame was slender, her hair tied high in a crown.

She was valiant and heroic, composed and self-assured.

A long sword hung at her waist, her expression resolute, her aura extraordinary.

Between her brows were two red markings, her gaze was cold, her whole body exuded maturity and aloofness, and her surroundings radiated a deep, domineering, and powerful aura, fully displaying the demeanor of a ruler.

◈◈◈

She was Prince Qi, Li Maozhen.

To be precise, she was Li Maozhen’s younger sister, Shui Yunji, the Empress of Huan Yin Fang.

Because her elder brother went to the Twelve Caverns to search for Gu techniques, she had no choice but to shoulder the burden of the Qi State. She disguised herself as a man and replaced her elder brother Li Maozhen as the Prince of Qi, guarding the Qi State.

Over the years, she played two roles alone, supporting the Qi State and Huan Yin Fang amidst the surrounding wolves.

In the eyes of others.

She was the supreme, peerless Empress of Huan Yin Fang.

She was Li Maozhen, the Prince of Qi, a powerful and influential lord who controlled a region.

But who knew the loneliness and solitude behind her?

And who could she tell?

Whether as Prince Qi or the Empress.

These were not what she wanted.

Her slender shoulders could not bear such a heavy burden.

Especially now that the Great Dao Golden List had appeared, the world was in turmoil, and a slight carelessness could lead to utter destruction, with no hope of recovery.

Her majestic gaze turned to the newly appeared list:

“Middle Continent Great Qin Divine Sword List, King’s Power Sword.”

“Holder…”

“Martial God!”

Seeing this name, Empress Shui Yunji’s body trembled suddenly, her originally majestic and resolute eyes seemed to transform into a myriad of tenderness.

“He is actually in the Middle Continent Great Qin.”

“Hmph, men are all bad.”

Empress Shui Yunji snorted coldly in her heart, her beautiful eyes resentful.

There were two most important men in her life.

One had left her sixteen years ago.

In a daze.

She seemed to return to sixteen years ago:

“Are you really going? Why?” The still-young Empress questioned with tears in her eyes.

“For the Qi State!” Li Maozhen said.

“The Twelve Caverns are just a legend. Are you really going to abandon everyone to search for a nonexistent place?” The Empress was unwilling, wanting to persuade him to stay.

“That’s not a legend…” Li Maozhen said.

“What about Huan Yin Fang?” The Empress pressed.

“You’ll handle it!” Li Maozhen said.

“What about the Qi State?” The Empress said.

“After I leave, you will be the Prince of Qi!” Li Maozhen said.

“You’re crazy!” The Empress roared.

“I know that this is not a responsibility you should bear. To be a king, one must first learn to lose. This is the destiny of our Li family. You will lose your freedom, your future love, even your life. You will be confined to the throne until you die, but as a human being, there are some things that must be done…”

Li Maozhen left without looking back.

The Qi State and Huan Yin Fang pressed down on her slender shoulders, with internal and external troubles, surrounded by wolves. No one knew how she had endured these sixteen years.

Ten years ago.

Another man appeared in her life.

That man was like a god, handsome as jade, tall and majestic. Not only was his appearance perfect to the point of being breathtaking, but his strength was also unfathomable.

After her elder brother Li Maozhen left, when she was at her most difficult time, that man descended from the sky, like the peerless hero in her heart who came riding on auspicious clouds, fulfilling all the fantasies of her girlish heart.

That period was her happiest time.

However.

Good times don’t last long.

That man was even more ruthless, leaving without even saying goodbye.

He only left behind a note and a divine item called the ‘Dog Talisman’.

“Parting is for a better reunion next time.”

Empress Shui Yunji’s mind recalled the words on the note, her jade hand tightly clenched.

“Damn it! This time I will definitely find you!”

Empress Shui Yunji gritted her teeth.
