The Ten Pounds of Lean Meat, Minced into Toppings-Not a Speck of Fat on Top

Lu Bei's hand trembled slightly, and the letter in his hand was burned to ash. Zhu Xiushi and Zhao Wuyou had tried to sneak a look but got nowhere; all they saw was ash drifting through the air.

"Was King Yuanji for real?"

"How would I dare joke about that person?"

"What about your Gu Family's Innate Buddha's Son? If he made a move, even that person would have to give way three parts." Lu Bei raised a brow, suspecting that Mighty Chu looked aggrieved on the surface but was secretly delighted inside.

Because of things like dragon veins and destiny, the imperial families of the various nations in the Immortality Cultivation World not only produced plenty of wastrels, they also repeatedly gave birth to cultivation prodigies.

Jiang Suxin and Gu Zongchen, for example. Both had towered over an entire generation and were the crown jewels their clans proudly displayed.

Even after Jiang Suxin fell out with the Jiang Family Imperial Family and the two sides became impossible to reconcile, the imperial family still held her in the highest regard. That could be seen clearly from the attitudes of Jiang He, Jiang Li, and the others.

Thanks to the existence of these prodigies, imperial legitimacy could continue for a thousand years. Whenever a dynasty fell on hard times, one or two people would always step forward.
