"Then based on what you're saying, what level can my current strength reach?" Chu Yun asked.
Master's current cultivation is at the initial Golden Core Realm, but in terms of true combat power, Master can be called invincible beneath the Nascent Soul Realm!
Furthermore, if Master can proficiently grasp and wield the Innate Divine Ability of the Heavenly Blood Divine Root Bone, "Blood World," then even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can be fought!
After hearing this, Chu Yun gained a rough understanding of his current strength.
Invincible beneath the Nascent Soul Realm was already more than enough for him at present.
Looking across the younger generation of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, he now had no rivals!
"Use that Venerable Realm Character Summon Card as well."
Using Venerable Realm Character Summon Card. Please wait...
Ssshh!!
After the summon card was used, the space before Chu Yun's eyes was suddenly torn open by a force.
A bald, burly man slowly stepped out from within.
"Wan Lei pays respects to Master!"
After the bald man appeared, his features were imposing and domineering, while an aura like thunderstorm heavenly might seemed to spread from his entire body.
He respectfully bowed to Chu Yun.
Ding! Summon successful: Venerable Wan Lei. Moreover, summoned characters can easily establish contact through consciousness, even if they are separated from their master by thousands of miles.
Chu Yun looked at Venerable Wan Lei before him and thought, Open Venerable Wan Lei's information panel.
Name: Venerable Wan Lei. Realm: Late-stage Venerable Realm. Physique: Thunder God Sacred Body. Root Bone: Saint Grade.
"Holy shit!!"
"As expected of something produced by the system—it's top quality!"
"Both his root bone and physique are actually legendary Saint Grade!"
Chu Yun was somewhat amazed.
In the Origin World, root bone grades were divided from one to ten. Beyond the tenth grade came Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, King Grade, and Saint Grade.
Physiques were likewise divided into Mortal Body, War Body, Spirit Body, Mystic Body, King Body, and Saint Body.
Basically, cultivators in the Origin World who possessed an Earth Grade root bone or a Spirit Body could already be considered geniuses.
Only those peerless monsters said to possess the bearing of a Great Emperor would have a King Body or Saint Grade root bone.
Yet the characters summoned by this system came equipped with Saint Grade from the moment they appeared. Their future upper limits were surely extraordinarily high.
"No need for such formality."
"Venerable Wan Lei, call me Your Highness from now on. There is no need to call me Master."
"From today onward, stay by my side. Usually, do your best not to reveal your aura. Do you understand?" Chu Yun instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness," Venerable Wan Lei answered.
Chu Yun thought about it. Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he might as well go out for a walk.
"Wan Lei, accompany me for a stroll."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Chu Yun took Venerable Wan Lei out to familiarize himself with the Imperial City.
However, since he himself was unfamiliar with the place, he also called Commander Luo Feng along.
Luo Feng had initially been somewhat puzzled by Wan Lei's sudden appearance at Chu Yun's side.
But Chu Yun explained that Wan Lei was his confidant, and Luo Feng did not ask any further questions.
Prime Minister's Residence.
At this moment, inside an antique and elegant young lady's chamber, a captivating fragrance permeated the air, as though one had entered a dream—dreamlike and illusory, impossible to escape from.
"Young Miss, I heard that Ninth Prince Chu Yun has already returned safely to the Imperial City."
"His Majesty prepared a residence and servants for him in advance. Even Consort Shi sent one of her trusted aides over. They all seem to care greatly about him."
Before the dressing table, a beautiful mature woman stood to one side, reporting the news to the stunning beauty before her.
The young woman wore a blue gown. Her looks could be called a beauty to topple kingdoms, with a graceful forehead and delicate brows, while her figure was flawless beyond reproach.
Slender waist, rounded hips, naturally full curves—she was beautiful as an exquisite landscape painting.
Her elegant yet icy temperament gave people the sense that she could not be offended, and her eyes were filled with indifference.
It was as if she did not place anything in the Great Xia Dynasty in her eyes.
Her name was Meng Ruoxue, daughter of Meng Changjiu, the current Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty.
She was also publicly acknowledged as the number one beauty among the Great Xia Dynasty's younger generation!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that her pursuers could fill an entire province!
From the Crown Prince and Imperial Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty,
to ordinary Rogue Cultivators, all secretly wished to taste her fragrance.
But unfortunately, Meng Ruoxue was proud and aloof by nature. Many who sought to meet her were turned away at her door.
And not to mention the younger generation—sometimes, Meng Ruoxue would not even give her own father any face.
As far as Meng Ruoxue was concerned, among the so-called young geniuses of this land, there was not a single one she thought highly of.
The world did not know that although Meng Ruoxue rarely left home,
after more than twenty years of cultivation, her realm had already reached the peak of the Shattering Realm.
What did it mean to reach the Shattering Realm in one's twenties?
In the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, even the fastest cultivators had only reached the Shattering Realm after a full sixty years.
Someone like Meng Ruoxue was truly unprecedented.
Once this matter was made public, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would be shaken into madness.
Even some old monsters of the Heavenly Aspect Realm would absolutely be unable to remain seated.
However, the main reason Meng Ruoxue could achieve this was her true identity.
She was a reincarnated being. In her previous life, she had been the Heavenly Mandate Empress who stood at the pinnacle of the Origin World.
She commanded the Great Dao of Destiny, sat firmly upon the Mountain of Destiny, and swept through all eight directions!
Even other Great Emperors feared this Heavenly Mandate Empress by three parts.
Yet despite her strength, when she fought the Sky Demoness for an otherworldly object back then, their powers were too tyrannical and directly cleaved that heavenly treasure in two.
As the power of that otherworldly treasure erupted, both her and the Sky Demoness's true bodies were directly annihilated within it.
Fortunately, each of them obtained half of the otherworldly treasure. Its power fused into their souls, allowing them to be reincarnated.
Meng Ruoxue knew very clearly that since she could be reborn through this treasure, the Sky Demoness must still be alive as well.
All these years, Meng Ruoxue had secretly had people search for traces of the Sky Demoness, but so far, there had been no major gains.
"He is merely an Imperial Prince who returned after disappearing. Though the Shi Family supports him from behind, the Crown Prince Faction has operated within the Imperial City for many years. Its roots run deep, far beyond what a fledgling brat like him can compare to."
"In open and covert struggles, that Chu Yun will not have much chance of winning."
After hearing the beautiful woman beside her speak, she replied in an icy, indifferent voice.
Her tone carried a trace of disinterest, along with disdain for Chu Yun.
In her view, if the Ninth Prince, who should have died, had returned and did not fight for imperial power, he would surely die in the future.
If he did fight for imperial power, then compared with the Crown Prince, who had countless retainers, he had almost no chance of victory.
Since he was someone destined to die no matter what, she naturally had little interest in learning more about him.
