So at this mont, he stood in front of Qin Shixian, appearing sowhat nervous.
Qin Shixian scrutinized his son, and after a mont, gently asked:
"These years in Lanling City, have there been any unresolved doubts in your cultivation?"
Qin Ziyu was a bit overwheld:
"With the Martial Arts Masters sent by Father guiding daily, I've encountered no difficulties in cultivation, just that my aptitude is dull, and thus I've been slow to achieve a breakthrough."
He now has incorporated five Implants, activating two Core-level Extraordinary Abilities, at the Sixth Tier of the Tao Foundation Stage.
This is roughly his limit; it's difficult for him to activate new Core Extraordinary Abilities, let alone a breakthrough.
Qin Shixian said nothing, which made Qin Ziyu even more anxious.
Compared to Prince Cheng, who is a Heavenly List Grandmaster, he could be described as a typical 'tiger father, dog son.'
"Among the Imperial Family's descendants, only a few can reach the Tao Foundation Stage or Possession Stage; you're doing well enough."
What Qin Ziyu didn't expect was that Qin Shixian didn't bla him but instead comforted him a few words.
"Indeed, but I cannot relieve Father's worries, which makes truly ashad!"
Qin Ziyu said with his head lowered.
"Compared to my brother's sons, my son isn't bad either, it's just that your father isn't as good as others' fathers."
Qin Shixian suddenly laughed.
These words changed Qin Ziyu's expression.
'Brother' naturally referred to the late Emperor; Qin Shixian's words were quite rebellious!
After being stunned, Qin Ziyu suddenly teared up:
"In my heart, Father has never been inferior to anyone!"
"Hahaha——"
Qin Shixian burst out laughing.
He stood up, walked to Qin Ziyu, looked at his son earnestly, placed a hand on his shoulder, and softly said:
"This ti, I specially requested your return to the Southern Border because I plan to seclude myself for a breakthrough and charge towards the Peak Realm."
"What?!"
Qin Ziyu was shocked, disregarded proprieties, and grabbed Qin Shixian's arm:
"Father, are you confident?!"
Qin Shixian smiled and patted Qin Ziyu's hand: "I never do things I'm not sure of."
"But...."
Qin Ziyu hesitated.
He of course hoped that his father would break through and ascend to sainthood, but at this mont his heart was filled more with worry and fear.
Throughout history, how many Grandmasters had the opportunity to charge towards the Peak Realm?
And how many beca a Martial Saint in the end?
"Even if I succeed in breaking through, the court will not be overly wary. And if I fail, then this Cheng Prince Mansion will be yours."
Qin Shixian said calmly.
"Father...."
Tears finally flowed down Qin Ziyu's cheeks, "Why not wait until you are more confident to attempt the breakthrough?"
"Hahaha."
Qin Shixian shook his head, "Since ancient tis, who can be completely confident about breaking through to sainthood? I have waited so many years and now is the opportune ti, there's no need to wait any longer!"
He knew a bit about the fortune of Peak Strong Persons, but he did not master the related secret techniques.
Moreover, he knew the court would not pass on these techniques to him, nor would they assist him with national fortune in his breakthrough.
Qin Ziheng was wary of him, his Imperial Uncle, or else wouldn't have stationed Li Fei's Savage Killing Army in the Southern Border, nor intentionally enhanced Li Fei's influence on the Southern Border Army.
For this, Qin Shixian held no grudge.
Because if he were the Emperor, he would do the sa!
Qin Shixian did not attempt breaking through before, partly due to the precedent set by Qin Mingli. Once another Martial Saint erged from the Imperial Family, they would be heavily guarded and face a difficult situation.
The other reason was Qin Shixian was uncertain about his chances of successfully breaking through.
But now Li Fei's great trend has ford, even if Qin Shixian successfully breaks through, the court needn't worry about not being able to suppress him.
Next cos the timing, with the death of four veteran Martial Saints, Qin Shixian saw an opportunity!
He was unwilling to wait any longer.
Since there was no longer any opportunity to sit on that Dragon Chair in this lifeti, Martial Arts is his last pursuit!
Three days later, Prince Cheng entered seclusion.
...
Yuanxing First Year, April 12th.
Lanling City, Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial Study Room, Qin Ziheng and Li Fei sat facing each other.
Imperial Eunuch Feng Cheng ca to the study room, lightly saying:
"Your Majesty, Left General is ready."
Qin Ziheng: "Understood."
Feng Cheng withdrew.
Qin Ziheng looked at Li Fei, who nodded to him:
"Your Majesty, you may begin."
At the sa ti, in a nearby Great Hall, the White Fla Army Commander Zuo Jun was alone inside, preparing for a breakthrough to sainthood!
Zuo Jun practiced the Military Dao and had already seized the opportunity for a breakthrough after he and Li Fei jointly broke the Grassland Royal Court's capital Mingdu City.
Thereafter, he led the White Fla Army to sweep across the grasslands, conquering the Grassland Tribes for the Da Lan Dynasty one by one, further enhancing his Military Dao Cultivation, increasing his breakthrough confidence!
However, at that ti, they hadn't yet gone to war with the West Pole Country, and Zuo Jun, being the White Fla Army Commander, couldn't afford to fail in the breakthrough, as Da Lan Dynasty couldn't quickly find a Marshal Level cultivator to replace him.
Therefore, Qin Ziheng did not permit Zuo Jun to attempt the breakthrough on his own then.
Now that the great battle had ended, and with an opportune mont at hand, Zuo Jun was no longer able to restrain himself and requested to attempt the breakthrough.
Qin Ziheng allowed it gladly and even offered to use national fortune to assist Zuo Jun!
In fact, aside from Zuo Jun, several Peak of Dao Establishnt Realm Grandmasters from the Da Lan Dynasty had the opportunity to breakthrough—
Ranked tenth on the Heavenly List, Forbidden Army Commander Han Mu of the Da Lan Dynasty.
Ranked seventh on the Heavenly List, Pavilion Master Ni Xuan of the Zhi Ge Pavilion of the Da Lan Dynasty.
Ranked third on the Heavenly List, Northern Governor Prince Cheng, Qin Shixian of the Da Lan Dynasty.
Additionally, there was also Vice Commander Huang Qiyan of the Sky Blue Cavalry, who led the army in capturing the West Pole Country's capital this ti.
He also cultivated the Military Dao, which saw improvent after capturing the Buddha Country's capital.
