Li Yuzhen quietly looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Prince Consort, what do you think?"
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Is that sothing I can decide? If I say she cannot go, can she really not go?"
"... No."
"Then that’s it, did she have an encounter?"
"... Yes." Li Yuzhen nodded gently: "Your Highness gained a fortune in this Grotto Heaven and comprehended the key, stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"Really lucky indeed."
"According to the original estimate, Your Highness was supposed to enter the Divinity Transformation Realm two years later."
By that ti, it would not delay anything, being already married, whether she went or not wouldn’t matter.
Unexpectedly, things changed, Your Highness suddenly had a fortuitous encounter, breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "No one knows about this, right?"
"Aside from you, Prince Consort, and the Emperor, no one else knows."
"Can it be kept from the Spirit Guard?"
"The Spirit Guard will keep it secret for a while, until after the wedding."
"Once a Prince or Princess steps into Divinity Transformation, they must imdiately join the Spirit Guard, without delay?"
"Your Highness’s Phoenix Divine Sword has long reached Spirit Transformation Level, once entering Divinity Transformation Realm, it is directly suitable to join the Spirit Guard."
"Doesn’t the Spirit Guard require an application? Don’t people fight to get in? How co it becos mandatory here?"
"For others, joining the Spirit Guard is sothing they fight for, but..." Li Yuzhen stopped there, not continuing.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "That’s true, how many Princes and Princesses dare to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield, they are all too afraid of death."
Li Yuzhen remained silent out of embarrassnt.
She didn’t dare to say these words, only the Prince Consort, being a Prince himself, dared to speak such truth.
Looking at the Jade Dynasty, looking at the Yuanzhen Dynasty, how many Princes and Princesses go to the Outer Realm Battlefield?
Not to ntion them, even in the Phoenix Dynasty, many Princes and Princesses chose to remain in the Transformation Realm, refusing to break through on purpose, just to avoid going to the Outer Realm Battlefield.
Or if they reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, they chose not to practice Martial Skills, only focusing on their Realm.
This way, they wouldn’t need to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield.
And no one would have anything to say about it.
The understanding of the Martial Arts Heart thod may be strong, but it doesn’t guarantee the sa level of understanding for Martial Skills. If there’s not enough compatibility, it won’t be possible to comprehend deeper and reach the Entering Spirit Level.
In this world, geniuses often have their Martial Skills reach Entering Spirit Level first, followed by their Cultivation.
After all, Cultivation takes more ti, and even with good comprehension, it needs ti to improve step by step, while Martial Skills test comprehension more. With good comprehension, reaching one level in a day is possible.
So prodigies, upon finding a Martial Skill that suits them, can achieve Entering Spirit Level in just one day.
When Cultivation reaches a certain level, but Martial Skills do not, it often serves as an excuse.
But understanding and not exposing it, if the Phoenix Dynasty’s Emperor doesn’t speak, others don’t wish to speak more.
After all, Princes and Princesses are noble, not wanting to seek the resources to beco a Spirit Venerable on the Outer Realm Battlefield isn’t surprising.
As a Prince or Princess, being a Venerable allows a good life; there’s no need to risk everything for the slim chance of becoming a Spirit Venerable.
In the entirety of history, how many Spirit Venerables have there been in this world?
After stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm, each transition is extrely difficult, requiring vast amounts of True Yuan for transformation.
But with each transition, lifespan is extended by a thousand years.
Nine Transitions Perfection grants a ten-thousand-year lifespan, which is more than enough, living is sufficient.
...
Chu Zhiyuan contemplated: "I see, it seems she wants to beco a Spirit Venerable."
"Your Highness is so young, there’s hope for becoming a Spirit Venerable."
"Hmm..." He nodded.
The sooner one steps into the Divinity Transformation Realm, the easier it is to beco a Spirit Venerable. If one enters the Divinity Transformation Realm past sixty, the possibility of becoming a Spirit Venerable greatly diminishes.
Of course, it is not absolute; it still depends on fortune. If fortune arrives, even at over a hundred years old, one can achieve Spirit Transformation Level and beco a Spirit Venerable.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "A promising future indeed... she also has divine bloodline."
Li Yuzhen solemnly nodded.
The divine bloodline greatly aids in achieving Spirit Venerable status.
A Spirit Venerable breaks through human limits, as if a lock tightly binds the essence, qi, and spirit, preventing them from ascending to a higher level.
The divine bloodline dilutes this lock, weakens it, making it easier to achieve Spirit Venerable status.
This is also the key reason why Your Highness is looked upon favorably and why she is uniquely favored among the princesses and princes.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "I’m curious, among so many princes, why was I chosen as Prince Consort? Is it because it would help her beco a Spirit Venerable?"
Li Yuzhen was taken aback.
She had never thought of this, assuming that it was due to his status as a prince, even more so one not favored, leading the Jade Dynasty to agree.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Given the Phoenix Dynasty’s dominant stance, wasn’t the Prince Consort directly designated for any prince?"
"That... I do not know." Li Yuzhen shook her head.
She really didn’t know about this matter. Originally part of the Spirit Guard, she was reassigned as a guard, tasked as the eyes and mouth of the Twelfth Princess.
She was unaware of other matters.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "It seems I am a rare commodity."
Apparently, there is sothing in the original main body that caught the Twelfth Princess’s attention; otherwise, such investnt wouldn’t have been made.
They even sent a guard over, and it’s a Spirit Guard acting as a guard.
They also sent spirit pills.
They even sent demon crystals.
Not to ntion before marriage, even after marriage, such generosity is unlikely.
After all, the status of a Prince Consort is not high, one must consider the princess’s deanor, not the other way around.
Li Yuzhen appeared thoughtful.
After hearing Chu Zhiyuan’s words, she also felt that there might be a deeper story.
She secretly pondered.
Your Highness really isn’t a person who is easy to get along with, being extrely strict with the household attendants and maids.
Your Highness is indeed overly lenient to the Prince Consort, giving whatever is asked.
Even if the Prince Consort provided information, such substantial rewards wouldn’t be warranted, would they?
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I know about this matter now."
"I need so cooperation from you, Prince Consort."
"How should I cooperate?"
"Don’t reveal any flaws, act like Your Highness during the wedding."
"Alright, just make sure the stand-in doesn’t reveal any flaws." Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Everything has been arranged, right?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Li Yuzhen clasped her hands together, then retreated: "Subordinate takes leave."
She floated out of the small courtyard.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head to look towards the direction of the Phoenix Dynasty Imperial City, his gaze flickering.
You Lan, at his side, softly spoke: "Your Highness..."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Aunt, was I designated by the Phoenix Dynasty, or appointed by Father?"
"I think it was decided by the Emperor."
"I see..." Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze was burning bright: "So any prince would have been the sa."
You Lan said: "Your Highness, it may not be so."
"When things deviate from the norm, that is suspicious." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Don’t think of people too highly."
Aunt You Lan shook her head in embarrassnt, not persuading further.
--
After another increase in soul, Chu Zhiyuan felt his cultivation speed increased by thirty percent.
After a night of practice, he opened his eyes in the morning feeling refreshed.
Progressing naturally, it was as easy as turning a hand.
He was overjoyed, wishing to laugh out loud to the heavens.
Reaching the Ninth Transition of Transformation Intent, followed by the breakthrough to Perfection is what takes the most ti.
So, this level of cultivation isn’t impressive.
Yet after realizing that, if the Twelfth Princess had already achieved Divinity Transformation, I couldn’t help but wonder and stop smiling.
The Ninth Transitions of Transformation Intent, and then the breakthrough after Perfection takes the most ti.
So my current cultivation really isn’t much.
But understanding this, it’s better to not expose it, and when the ti cos for Your Highness to speak, I too can enter the Spirit Guard, while my stand-in goes to the wedding.
I wonder what expression the Twelfth Princess will have at that ti.
I thought happily, wishing to retreat for two months and break through to Divinity Transformation Realm in one go.
Unfortunately, it’s a luxury, breaking through to Divinity Transformation is not so easy.
