Fang Yun glanced at Emperor Yanwen in surprise.
Fang Yun knew better than anyone how difficult Saint Enfeoffment was. Even with the knowledge of another world at his disposal, he had to tread carefully at every step, afraid something might go wrong, and risk his life through trials to grow.
Yet Emperor Yanwen needed only a single treasure to advance rapidly to Half-Sage. That was truly extraordinary.
Based on his earlier observations, even if Emperor Yanwen cultivated for many years, his chances of Saint Enfeoffment would be only twenty or thirty percent, and it would take at least several decades, perhaps even a century.

Fang Yun thought for a moment, then said, "Tell me honestly: without star-bearing stone, what would your chances
