It all started with the Blood Cloud Beast's soul stone from a few months ago.
After Crown Prince Ye Beilian obtained the Blood Cloud Beast's soul stone, he kept it carefully.
He spent the next two months trying to become a Master Sorcerer. Finally, he reached the bottleneck of the Master Sorcerer level a few days ago.
Ye Beilian couldn't wait to find the Soul Stone as he prepared to advance to the time rank. He was going to use it for fusion.
The Blood Cloud Beast was extremely rare on the mainland. It was comparable to a level seven or eight Magic Beast.
Ye Beilian had heard people say that once the soul stone of the Blood Cloud Beast was fused into the Magic Scepter, it would definitely have a mysterious effect.
Moreover, the Blood Cloud Beast's soul stone might also contain the long-lost Eight Desolation Spell.
Fusing with the soul stone immediately after the breakthrough was undoubtedly the best result.
This time, the Blood Cloud Beast's soul stone came at the right time.
When he thought of how he asked Ye Beiming to hand over the soul stone in front of everyone from Wuxuan Everlasting House, Ye Beilian felt a sense of pride.
Ye Beiming, so what if you're brave and warlike? Father thinks that you're an ominous person. You'll be like that damned mother of yours. Once you've lost your value, you can go to hell.
Ye Beilian was one year older than Ye Beiming. He had seen Ye Beiming's mother before. She was also the most beautiful woman in Zhou State, Empress Li.
He still remembered that the first time he saw Empress Li was in the palace.
His mother brought him to pay respects to Empress Li.
Empress Li, the legendary woman who single-handedly supported the Emperor of Zhou State, appeared accompanied by a group of palace maids. When Ye Beilian saw her, he felt dizzy.
He only felt that in front of Empress Li, his mother became insignificant.
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were full, and her eyes were captivating. Her long hair was tied up high like a pile of dark clouds. In front of Empress Li, all the women in the harem were just decorations.
That kind of beauty could only be found in the sky.
It was just that Ye Beilian didn't understand why his Imperial Father didn't like the beautiful Empress Li and instead doted on his seemingly weak mother, Empress Qi.
It was only when Ye Beilian grew older that he found out about this from some of the old palace servants.
The Emperor of Zhou State did not like Empress Li because she was too perfect.
The current Empress of Zhou State was Ye Beilian's mother. She was the daughter of the Emperor of Zhou State's mentor.
The Emperor of Zhou State and Ye Beiming's mother could be considered as childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. When the Emperor of Zhou State was still a prince, he married the eldest daughter of the richest merchant in Zhou State, Madam Li. She later became Ye Beiming's mother.
Relying on the money and aid from Ye Beiming's mother's family, the emperor of Zhou State finally ascended to the throne of Crown Prince.
However, half a year after he was made the Crown Prince and married the Crown Princess, he used the excuse that the Crown Princess had no children to invite the Secondary Consort Qi to his home.
At that time, Madam Qi was already pregnant with the current Crown Prince, Ye Beilian, who was six months old.
Outsiders felt that it was unfair for Empress Li. As the daughter of the richest merchant in Zhou State, Empress Li wasn't just famous for her beauty. She was proficient in the four arts, poetry, and even the art of war and magic.
She even relied on her wealth and ability to establish a frightening secret force in the Great Zhou Empire. From assassination to support, she had trusted Empress Li's subordinates, including the hunters and the Temple of Dharma.
The Emperor of Zhou State was able to rise above the other princes because of Empress Li.
Logically speaking, after the Emperor of Zhou State ascended the throne, he would definitely dote on Empress Li. However, outsiders always said that the Emperor of Zhou State relied on a woman to ascend the throne.
For the Emperor of Zhou State, who cared a lot about his reputation, he naturally couldn't allow his woman to be more outstanding than him.
He was even more worried that with Empress Li's ability, she would one day surpass him.
However, Ye Beilian's mother, Madam Qi, was the exact opposite. She had always been weak and gentle, accompanying the Emperor of Zhou State. When she saw Empress Li, she was also respectful and swallowed her anger.
In the end, Empress Li died and Madam Qi took over.
Ye Beilian couldn't help but feel proud. He thought to himself that Empress Li was very similar to Ye Beiming.
Both mother and son had unparalleled beauty and were equally cold. They always kept a distance from others.
His innate air of nobility made him unconsciously feel ashamed of himself.
But so what? Victory still belonged to him and his mother in the end.
Looking at the Soul Stone in his hand, Ye Beilian laughed heartily.
Ye Beilian didn't expect that he would make such a huge mistake because of this Soul Stone this time.
Ye Beilian's ability was far from enough to fuse with that Soul Stone. Hence, he even hired two assistant sorcerers from the Crown Prince's residence to protect him.
After all, he had already fused with magic Soul Stones several times. There shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The Violent Earth Bear's Soul Stone, which was filled with vitality and magic elements, kept spinning in the magic array.
Ye Beilian kept absorbing the magic power in the magic array. Just as he was at the last step of the fusion and the Soul Stone was about to be embedded in the magic scepter.
In the middle of the Soul Stone, there was a trace of dark magical element that could not be seen clearly. It quietly entered Ye Beilian's body through his magic scepter.
There was a sudden sharp pain in his blood vessels.
Ye Beilian let out a blood-curdling scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Violent Earth Bear's soulstone instantly cracked open.
After the Soul Stone cracked, the magic elements hidden inside shot out like arrows.
The magic elements collided with Ye Beilian's magic scepter, causing it to shatter.
When the two sorcerers who were protecting him saw this, they were shocked. They immediately cast spells to block the magic elements that were shooting everywhere like bullets.
"Soul Stone … My Soul Stone!" Ye Beilian roared furiously. He couldn't take it lying down as he watched the Blood Cloud Beast's Soul Stone crack before his eyes.
The magic elements in his body were in a mess. At the last moment, he actually failed to fuse with the Soul Stone.
What he didn't know was that the reason for his failure at the last moment was the almost negligible dark magic element in the Soul Stone.
Ye Beilian was so angry that he choked on a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Before he fainted, he only had time to instruct his servants to summon Chen Lian 'er immediately.
When Chen Lian 'er arrived, the Crown Prince was already unconscious.
"Crown Prince, what happened to you?" Chen Lian 'er hurriedly asked Cang Song from the Royal Magic Academy to check on the Crown Prince's condition.
"The Crown Prince failed to fuse with the Soul Stone. The magic elements in his body backfired and injured his body and Dharma Soul." Cang Song shook his head after checking.
"Injured his Dharma Soul? Is there a way to heal the Crown Prince? " Chen Lian 'er was also very worried. If anything happened to the Crown Prince, she wouldn't be able to keep her position as the Crown Princess.
"It's easier said than done to heal the Dharma Soul. Not only did the Crown Prince hurt his Dharma Soul, his body was also severely injured. Let's get the imperial physician to check on him first before making a decision," Cang Song suggested.
