Chapter 64 The Struggle for the Crown Prince's Position, the Heavenly Heart Stone
time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing had been in Baoyu Kingdom for seven days.

Once he left the Great Xuan Dynasty, the tracking mark on his hand became ineffective, even without using mental power to suppress it.

Furthermore, if the Eagle Wolf Guard still sends the Golden Eagle Envoy to hunt him down, they are courting death, unless the Eagle Wolf Guard's Grand Marshal Ling Tianyue personally takes action, or the Grand Marshal of the Army wields a Grandmaster-level weapon and can unleash the combat power of a Grandmaster.

But the reality is that the Great Xuan Dynasty has even more formidable adversaries.

That is the Zoroastrianism and the Great Spirit Kingdom.

Ling Tianyue is dealing with Lin Nantian of the Zoroastrian Church, while the Grand Marshal of the Army is stationed on the northern border. Zhou Qing's threat level can only be ranked third.

Therefore, the Great Xuan Dynasty was unable to spare the resources to hunt down Zhou Qing overseas.

Seven Emotions Sword Technique / Perfected (Special Feature: Manipulation of the Seven Emotions)

Seven days is the time it takes to reach seven Dao Source Points.

After seven years of arduous training, Zhou Qing mastered the Seven Emotions Sword Technique to perfection.

"It's been seven days. I wonder if the Four Seas Pavilion has collected any information about the Innate Primordial True Art Refining Qi into Pills chapter."

Zhou Qing left the mansion and headed to Sihai Pavilion.

"Young Master Zhou, welcome to Sihai Pavilion."

Upon learning that Zhou Qing had arrived at Sihai Pavilion, Xia Yifeng, the branch master of Sihai Pavilion in Baoyu Kingdom, personally received him, greeting him with a beaming smile and acting as if they were old friends.

"You're too kind, Pavilion Master Xia. I've come here to inquire about the Innate Primordial True Technique: Refining Qi into Pills."

Zhou Qing went straight to the point.

"Young Master Zhou, let's discuss this further upstairs."

Xia Yifeng gestured for him to proceed.

"Row!"

Zhou Qing nodded and followed Xia Yifeng upstairs.

The two arrived at a VIP room.

The VIP room is decorated in an elegant and grand style, with a landscape painting hanging on the wall, adding a touch of artistic flair.

After the two were seated as host and guest, a maid served fragrant tea, the aroma adding to the tranquility and comfort of the elegant VIP room.

"Young Master Zhou, our Four Seas Pavilion is doing its best to collect information about the Innate Primordial True Art Refining Pill Chapter, but we haven't received any definite news yet."

Xia Yifeng said in a deep voice.

"There's no definite news." Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly, then said, "In that case, does Pavilion Master Xia have something else he wants to discuss with me?"

Xia Yifeng nodded and said, "Young Master Zhou is truly insightful. There is indeed something I need your help with."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhou Qing did not immediately agree, but looked at Xia Yifeng calmly, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing this, Xia Yifeng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Young Master Zhou, the King of Baoyu Kingdom is now getting old and wants to establish a successor to the throne. All princes who are over eighteen years old can participate in the competition."

The method of competition was simple: a contest of martial arts skills.

The martial arts competition was not a personal contest by the prince, but rather a contest by invited protectors. The Four Seas Pavilion also had a prince supporting them in the Jade Kingdom.

"If Young Master Zhou is willing to participate in the war, and helps the Nineteenth Prince obtain the position of Crown Prince, then the Nineteenth Prince is willing to offer a Heavenly Heart Stone as a reward." "A Heavenly Heart Stone? What is that?"

Zhou Qing asked.

"Young Master Zhou, the Heavenly Heart Stone is a third-tier spiritual object, containing a wisp of the primordial energy of heaven and earth. As long as a True Qi Grandmaster infuses his mastery of the power of intent into it and merges it with that wisp of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, his power of intent can directly transform from the Heaven Fusion stage to the Domain Transformation stage, and he can master the domain of intent!"

"I think this Heavenly Heart Stone is something that Young Master Zhou urgently needs."

"However, the Heavenly Heart Stone is in the royal treasury. Only when the nineteenth prince becomes the crown prince will he be qualified to choose one treasure from the treasury without conditions. At that time, he can take the Heavenly Heart Stone out of the treasury and give it to Young Master Zhou."

Xia Yifeng explained.

"Being able to transform the power of artistic conception into a treasure within the realm of artistic conception is indeed somewhat helpful to me at the moment."

Zhou Qing nodded.

Without cultivation resources, if he wanted to transform a power of intent from the Heaven-Melting Rank to the Domain-Transforming Rank, he would need to consume at least twenty or thirty Dao Source Points and undergo twenty or thirty years of arduous cultivation to achieve the transformation of his power of intent.

With the Heavenly Heart Stone, we can save a month.

A month, though not a long time for Zhou Qing, is certainly a good thing since it saves him this much time.

After all, time is as precious as life to a martial artist; every extra bit gained is an accumulation for the future.

"No problem. When does the competition for the heir apparent begin?"

Zhou Qing agreed.

For him, helping the nineteenth prince of Baoyu Kingdom obtain the position of heir apparent was not difficult, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Within this land of precious jade, there are very few who can rival him.

Even if the other princes invited masters from the Earth Ranking, he would not be afraid.

"Excellent! With Young Master Zhou's help, the Nineteenth Prince will surely win the position of Heir Apparent." Xia Yifeng smiled slightly and said, "The Heir Apparent competition will be held in three days. We'll see Young Master Zhou display his prowess then."

"Okay, I'll come back in three days."

Zhou Qing left Sihai Pavilion.

……

……

As the battle for the crown prince's position is about to begin, the atmosphere in the capital is becoming increasingly tense. The princes are all making preparations in full swing, hoping to demonstrate their strength at the competition ceremony.

No one wants to give up the position of heir apparent.

Although the Baoyu Kingdom is not as powerful as the Da Xuan Dynasty, with only the area of ​​the three Da Xuan states, if one could become the ruler of a country, one would wield immense power and resources comparable to the top sects in the Da Xuan martial arts world.

If a prince fails in the competition, he can only become the lord of a remote island. Not every prince can accept such a fall from grace.

Therefore, every prince did his utmost to leverage his connections and invite helpers, even making solemn promises in order to win the position of crown prince.

For example, the eldest prince, Gong Yuxin, joined the Yutian Sect of the Great Xuan Dynasty. He was a true disciple of the Yutian Sect. In order to compete for the position of heir, he invited a grandmaster from the Yutian Sect who had entered the Earth Ranking.

The fifth prince, Yu Yang, secretly contacted a demon who practiced poison arts and was listed on the Great Xuan Dynasty's wanted list. This demon had poisoned the people of an entire city to death in order to cultivate his poison arts and was ranked fifth on the wanted list.

There is also the eleventh prince, Gong Yulei. His mother is the daughter of an elder of the Five Thunder Sect, another top sect in the martial arts world of the Great Xuan Dynasty. In order to win the position of heir, she also made a heavy promise and invited a grandmaster from the Five Thunder Sect who entered the Earth Ranking.

The other princes were equally unwilling to be outdone, and each of them brought powerful helpers. However, ordinary innate grandmasters were not qualified to fight, and the weakest helpers were all true qi grandmasters. The entire capital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if a great battle was about to break out.
