Great Ming: The Nation's Fortune Nurtures Divine Arts, and I Become the Wuxia Alliance Leader

In the eighth year of the Zhengtong era, seventeen-year-old Zhu Qizhen had just ended the regency and officially taken power when the Son of Heaven System activated. The stronger the realm's fortune, the more powerful his divine arts. From the start, he was directly infused with the fifth level of the Son of Heaven's Divine Art, giving him a body comparable to a grandmaster of the martial world. He had barely settled onto the Dragon Throne when Minister of War Yu Qian brought him a bombshell: Esen, the Oirat Grand Preceptor, was leading two hundred thousand cavalry south, Datong was under threat, and the capital was on the brink of disaster.

The seal-holding eunuch Wang Zhen dared to suppress the military dispatches and even urged the emperor to lead a punitive expedition in person. Zhu Qizhen slammed the table on the spot. "Take him out and cut him in half!" Before the assembled officials could recover from their shock, he issued three imperial edicts in quick succession: Yu Qian would command an army of three hundred thousand and meet the enemy head-on; Yuhuatian would lead three thousand elite members of the Western Depot on a surprise attack against the Oirat royal court; and Cao Zhengchun's Eastern Depot would keep the court and martial world under close surveillance.

As Yuhuatian, clad in white as pristine as snow and carrying a sword, crossed Yanmen Pass, as the Western Depot's experts cut through the twelve Oirat tribes on the grasslands, and as Yu Qian fired the first Hongyi cannon atop the walls of Datong, Zhu Qizhen opened a secret report from the Eastern Depot in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City: Zhu Wushi of the Dragon Guarding Manor, Di Shitian of the martial world, the Sun Moon Holy Cult.
