The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 7 Introduction to Martial Arts Will
The Sun and Moon Divine Diagram is sandwiched between the Ming Shenwu Canon.

The old man took it out and said slowly: "This Ming Shenwu Dian was written by Taizu himself. The book is made of heavenly cicada silk and can be immortal for hundreds of years.

This divine map of the sun and the moon embodies Taizu's will, which is why it can be used for people to visualize and comprehend.

If your Highness feels that something is wrong, you should stop immediately and not be impatient. "

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, “It is said that Taizu took a year to learn the Divine Martial Canon, and Taizong took two years.

So Your Highness, remember, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, so don’t be impatient.”

At the same time, he sighed and apologized in his heart.

Your Majesties Taizu and Taizong, I, this old servant, am aware of my crime for slandering you.

The young prince is too competitive. If we don’t do this, he might be too eager for success and hurt himself through his stubbornness.

"They have spent so much time, but it turns out they are still not as good as this prince. This prince is the best. Haha." Zhu Houzhao said proudly and became happy.

The old man's brows twitched twice and he chose to ignore it.

Taizu and Taizong valued family affection and loved their descendants the most, so they probably wouldn't mind being criticized.

If the young prince really surpasses them, they will be very happy.

"Your Highness, please." The old man unfolded the map of the sun and moon in front of the little prince.

Zhu Houzhao blinked, opened his eyes as wide as possible, and looked while breathing in and out.

The sun is on the left and the moon is on the right.

The sun is gold and the moon is silver. Together, the sun and the moon are clearly separated, yet perfectly integrated into one.

It turned into a domineering will that was high and mighty, majestic, and supreme.

It is like the sun and the moon hanging high in the sky, overlooking the world.

"you think···"

Zhu Houzhao's clear and bright eyes were confused for a moment and he shook his head.

"Your Highness~!" the old man said softly, with a hint of expectation in his calm eyes.

"Why does this picture seem to be asking me something? Can it talk?" Zhu Houzhao came to his senses and picked up the picture to touch, look at, and sniff it, as if he had found a new toy that interested him.

I actually gained something the first time!
This has surpassed what Taizong did!

The old man suppressed his excitement and surprise, and smiled, "This is the will of Taizu. Did you hear what I am asking, Your Highness?"

"I didn't hear it clearly." Zhu Houzhao shook his head and looked at the divine map over and over again, becoming more curious, "The will of Taizu can still speak now!"

“When one reaches a high level in martial arts, both the body and the will can last for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, immortal and indestructible.” The old man said with a smile.

“This prince will be able to do it in the future, no, even better.

Immortality will last for thousands of years after death." Zhu Houzhao shouted immediately.

“Haha.” The old man smiled and said, “Your Highness, you cannot spend too much time in comprehending the divine diagram. If you feel tired, you should stop, so as not to hurt your mind and delay your future practice.”

"This prince knows." Zhu Houzhao responded nonchalantly, his eyes subconsciously looking upwards.

The first level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 5/100)

The focus is mainly on the second line of words. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. It was five points in one go. Twenty times would be perfect. And the twenty-first time would be the beginning.

As expected, Taizu and Taizong are too bad, I am the best.

giggle.

He looked at the Sun and Moon Diagram again with high morale. In a trance, the voice that asked him the question seemed to be clearer.

After a while, he came back to his senses, his head was a little dizzy, and he looked at his talent again.

The first level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 10/100)

"Your Highness, take a rest for a while, don't be anxious." The old man could see that the little prince was beginning to feel tired.

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao thought about it and nodded.

After resting for half an hour, he continued to comprehend with great enthusiasm.

At night, before falling asleep, Zhu Houzhao looked at his talent for the last time.

The first level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 30/100)

The next night before going to bed.

(Not yet started: 60/100)

Before going to bed on the third night.

(Not yet started: 90/100)

He could already hear the words clearly.

'What do you want to do?'

But Taizu didn't even give him a chance to answer, which was so rude.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhu Houzhao looked forward to his 21st visualization of the Sun and Moon Divine Diagram.

In a trance, he felt like he had entered a strange place.

"what do you want to do?"

A heavy voice that was intimidating without being angry was heard, as if the mighty power of heaven was descending.

"Grandpa, you are so rude. You asked me so many times, but you didn't even give me a chance to answer."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted angrily.

He has been patient for more than three days. Taizu is too rude.

"what do you want to do?"

The voice sounded again, without any change.

Zhu Houzhao decided to be magnanimous and forgive Taizu. He rolled his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and shouted out the words he had been thinking about for a long time.

"This prince is going to do something big, no one can compare to me. This prince is the most powerful.

This prince also wants my mother and father to be most proud of me.

Um····"

After thinking for a while, his face turned angry, and he clenched his fist and waved it heavily: "Hehe, one day, this prince will destroy that shitty hospital."

After shouting, Zhu Houzhao felt dazed again, and suddenly—boom!

Something seemed to explode in my brain, and when I came to my senses, I saw the old man's face full of surprise.

"Your Highness, please quickly integrate the power of the sun and the moon." The old man said quickly.

Zhu Houzhao immediately instinctively merged the two strands of power that appeared in his body at some unknown time.

A ray of heat, like the sun.

A ray of coolness, like the bright moon.

When these two forces came into contact, they blended into one like seamless unity.

It is as scorching as the sun and as cool as the bright moon, and it also describes a sense of arrogance and dominance.

When he opened his eyes, the old man smiled with a complicated expression and said, "Your Highness, congratulations."

The first level of Myojin Martial Arts Code (1/10000)

"Success!"

Zhu Houzhao took a look at his talent, felt the divine power in his body, and immediately became happy.

“The great ancestor was too stupid. It took him one or two years to succeed, but this prince only took three days.

As expected, this prince is the strongest, haha~!"

Zhu Houzhao put his hands on his hips again in a proud manner, and automatically ignored the fact that today was the fourth day.

The old man's eyes twitched again and he shook his head.

Forget it. The speed at which the young prince entered the sect far surpassed that of Taizong, and probably also that of Taizu. Taizu and Taizong were so happy to see such an outstanding descendant that saying a few words would not be a big deal.

"Your Highness, can you feel the power of heaven and earth?" The old man asked after the little prince was happy for a while.

"Yes, I sensed it." Zhu Houzhao nodded, his face changing instantly, with a bit of stubbornness and arrogance, "It's oppressing this prince, humph, forget it."

“Yes, the power of heaven and earth is vast and boundless.

While we absorb the power of heaven and earth for our own use, the power of heaven and earth is also tempering our will. "

The old man nodded slightly and instructed: "Your Highness, your next practice is to absorb the power of heaven and earth, practice the method of Mingshen Wudian, and temper your whole body.

When you have tempered your whole body to the extreme, you have cultivated the first level to its peak and reached the peak of the innate realm."

“During this period, don’t rush.

When absorbing the power of heaven and earth, willpower will be consumed.

Your Highness, the endurance of your body's meridians is also limited.

Do not practice for too long in a day. When you feel a little tired mentally or physically, you need to stop and rest.

This old servant will personally take care of your Highness."

"Another point is the most important. What controls the power in the body is the will.

When the will is not strong enough to control the power in the body, one will go astray, resulting in death in serious cases, paralysis or insanity in mild cases.

Therefore, Your Highness must always be alert. When you find that the inner energy of the spirit is out of control, you must stop immediately and temper your will. "

Zhu Houzhao's eyes became clearer as he listened. He paused, then nodded proudly, "This prince understands everything. Don't worry, old man. This prince's will is the most powerful. No one in the world can compare to it."

Ignoring the young prince's usual boasting, the old man continued, "Your Highness, do you know how to strengthen your martial arts will?"

"How to hone and grow stronger?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

“The will of martial arts will be strengthened due to certain things.

For example, absorbing and feeling the power of heaven and earth, which is to strengthen oneself by the oppression of the power of heaven and earth.

For example, if the body is strong and the spirit is full, the stronger the body is, the stronger the spirit will be. When the spirit is strong, the will will usually be strengthened as well.

But these enhancements are just minor details and cannot determine the overall situation."

"If you want to truly hone and strengthen your own martial arts will, you need to implement the will you achieved when you broke through to the innate state and realized it.

Some people place their will on swords and pursue the way of swords and kendo wholeheartedly.

Some people place their will on the great principles of heaven and earth, and devote themselves to comprehending the nature of heaven and earth.

Some want power, some want wealth, some want obsession, some want love, and so on.

Your Highness, once you understand what your own will is, you must do it.

As you do it, your will will become stronger as you gain more."

The old man explained solemnly that martial arts is also known as martial arts of will, and the more you progress, the more important will becomes.

The path of will usually starts from what you want most in your heart and moves forward step by step.

Therefore, he did not agree to change the little prince's innocent heart. Once it was changed forcibly, it might ruin the little prince's future in martial arts.

"This prince understands. This prince wants to--"

"Your Highness." Zhu Houzhao was about to express his will when he was interrupted by the old man. For the first time, he said in a very serious tone: "Don't tell anyone about your martial arts will, not even this old slave or even Your Majesty."

"Why?" Zhu Houzhao was unhappy. He was still thinking about showing off to his father.

"Martial arts will is a warrior's strongest point, but also his weak point.

Once the will to fight is destroyed, this person will be useless." The old man said solemnly.

He glanced at Liu Jin and others outside and gave an example: "Your Highness, you know that the strongest force in my Daming Palace is the many eunuchs.

Your Majesty does not practice martial arts and does not have strong personal strength, so how can you control these powerful eunuchs?"

"Tell quickly," Zhu Houzhao urged. He has always been interested in this kind of story telling.
