The two readily agreed.
This confirmed Chu Zhiyuan's suspicion: the Worry-Free Sect intended to befriend him.
These two honest men were not the type to be smooth operators, they wouldn't try to ingratiate themselves or deliberately try to befriend him.
It must be an order from within the sect.
The three of them arrived at the small pavilion in front of the pool.
A small pool was dug in front of the mountain wall, clear and bottomless, with fish swimming as if in empty space. An octagonal pavilion was built in front of the pool.
Chu Zhiyuan invited the two to sit at the wooden table in the pavilion, and accepted the tea offered by Zou Fang.
He looked around the valley and said with a smile, "This used to be an old lair of the Jade Cauldron Sect. It was just cleared out a while ago. It's a good place, and it shouldn't be wasted, so I rebuilt it into this manor."
"I've heard about it," Song Yichun said with a smile, "The Jade Cauldron Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect were swept away by the Heir, with unparalleled divine might."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, "They were just small fry. The Grandmasters are too lazy to take action, so only someone like me, who doesn't mind the effort, shares the burden. How is your sect doing recently?"
The two immediately fell silent.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Is the Worry-Free Sect's secret realm accessible to Grandmasters or only Great Grandmasters?"
Song Yichun said, "Our sect's secret realm requires the Innate Realm to enter."
"How envious," Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Unlike the imperial court, which requires a Great Grandmaster to enter, I really want to see what the secret realm looks like."
"If the Heir really wants to see it, it's not necessarily impossible," Song Yichun said.
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, "I can enter your sect's secret realm?"
"If the Heir is really curious, you can go to our sect's secret realm and see if you can find any fortuitous encounters. The Heir's luck must be extremely good."
Chu Zhiyuan was quite surprised.
He was just testing the waters, thinking that the Worry-Free Sect intended to befriend him, and wanted to see their bottom line.
He wouldn't feel goodwill just because the Worry-Free Sect was trying to befriend him, but rather be wary.
"Can outsiders enter your sect's secret realm?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Has anyone ever entered?"
"Of course outsiders can't enter," Li Yilong shook his head, "But the Heir is not an outsider."
Chu Zhiyuan blinked, confused.
Song Yichun smiled and said, "The Emperor has entered our sect's secret realm before."
Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise, "When did my imperial grandfather enter?"
"The Emperor entered our sect's secret realm twice when he was still a prince, and once after he ascended the throne," Song Yichun said, "The Heir can also enter."
"Can all the imperial children enter?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Song Yichun smiled and shook his head.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Your sect is judging people by their prospects?"
"The Heir has the potential to become the Emperor, so we naturally can't treat you the same," Li Yilong said.
"Emperor?" Chu Zhiyuan quickly waved his hand, "Absolutely not!"
Song Yichun asked curiously, "Does the Heir not want to compete for the throne?"
Li Yilong also looked over curiously.
Chu Zhiyuan's mind raced, and he immediately understood. They were starting to place their bets early.
His mind raced again.
If the Worry-Free Sect was like this, what about the other three sects?
The Moon Invitation Palace probably didn't have this intention, the Nine Li Divine Sect was probably just a coincidence, but the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect might not be a coincidence.
Besides these three sects, what about the other sects?
Was he about to start the fight for the throne?
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Which one doesn't want to compete for the throne, but I don't have the qualifications yet."
"As long as you have the potential to become a Grandmaster, you have the qualifications," Li Yilong said.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait until I become a Grandmaster. Before I become a Grandmaster, I'll honestly be my Heir."
"Is it because of Prince Ying?" Song Yichun said.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Looking at it now, Tenth Uncle has the best chance of becoming the Emperor."
Song Yichun shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.
"The Heir doesn't believe it?" Song Yichun said, "Does the Heir think we treat Prince Ying the same way?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Could it be that your sect doesn't favor my Tenth Uncle?"
"That's right."
"Oh?"
"Our sect also has disciples serving under Prince Ying."
"Mm," Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
The four major Demonic Sects all had disciples serving in the army, which was part of the original alliance agreement.
"Prince Ying is indeed a remarkable person, with an amazing talent for the battlefield, a veritable war god."
"Yes."
"But Prince Ying's martial arts talent is not that strong, a world of difference compared to the Heir."
"Tenth Uncle isn't that weak, is he?"
"Compared to the Heir, it's like a firefly compared to the bright moon."
"Haha..." Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, "That's too exaggerated."
"Rather than saying it's the bright moon, it's more like the sun," Song Yichun said, "The Heir's cultivation progress is far inferior to those evil sect demons, the best in the world is not an exaggeration."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Doesn't your sect suspect that I'm practicing evil sect cultivation methods?"
"Jade Lock Golden Gate Art, the only true practitioner, one of the three ancient inheritances, the only practitioner," Song Yichun smiled, "Who in the world can compare to the Heir? Even the Emperor should be ashamed of himself."
"You flatter me," Chu Zhiyuan touched his face and smiled, "You're making me embarrassed."
Song Yichun said, "The Heir must not belittle yourself, the Heir's talent is indeed unparalleled in the world."
Li Yilong nodded slowly.
On this point, one could not help but admire him, and more importantly, the Heir in front of him was not only a martial arts genius, but also a genius in governing the world, with wisdom in his grasp and extraordinary intelligence. It wouldn't make sense for such a genius not to be the Emperor.
"The throne is not only about martial arts, but also about other things."
"Grandmasters are the most important."
"Tenth Uncle can also become a Grandmaster."
"In our opinion, Prince Ying is afraid that he will not be able to become a Grandmaster."
Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.
Song Yichun said, "Prince Ying was in the army when he was young, and he was actually severely injured, damaging the foundation of his body, and his state of mind also has flaws."
"The foundation of the body is damaged, with Tenth Uncle's merits, he can exchange for any elixir."
"Heir, elixirs are not omnipotent, some injuries are irreversible," Song Yichun shook his head.
Li Yilong said in a deep voice, "And years of marching will also distort people's hearts and temperament."
Chu Zhiyuan's heart stirred slightly, but his face remained expressionless, "Could it be that Tenth Uncle really can't become a Grandmaster?"
"It's extremely difficult, even if he can enter, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult," Song Yichun said, "The state of mind is the most difficult to repair."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
The state of mind is the most difficult to repair.
In this way, the state of mind can be repaired.
But it's difficult to repair, so it's best not to have flaws. The Emperor's intention is not to let his state of mind have flaws. But where are my flaws?
Does the Ziyang True Scripture really have such miraculous effects? Why can't Tenth Uncle make up for the flaws in his state of mind? Tenth Uncle's realm should be slowly advancing, one heaven at a time, solid and unparalleled. But because of the war, it damaged Tenth Uncle's state of mind?
Chu Zhiyuan looked thoughtful, looking in the direction of the Northern Border.
"Heir?"
"I still think that Tenth Uncle has the best chance of becoming the Emperor. He has worked hard and sacrificed too much for my Great Jing. It would be really unfair if he couldn't become the Emperor."
Song Yichun smiled and said, "Heir, has there ever been fairness in this world?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "My foundation is not solid, it's difficult to become a Grandmaster, while Tenth Uncle is step by step, and then makes up for the flaws, instead accumulating strength and easily stepping into the Grandmaster realm."
Song Yichun shook his head gently, "If that were the case, there would be Grandmasters everywhere."
Li Yilong sighed, "Heir, the world is inherently unfair."
This was his deepest experience.
Chu Zhiyuan changed the subject and smiled, "What does your sect's secret realm have?"
