Li Yuzhen quietly looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "What does the Prince Consort think?"
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Is this something I can decide? Even if I say she can't go, would she not go?"
"...No."
"Then that's it. Did she get some kind of fortuitous encounter?"
"...Yes." Li Yuzhen nodded lightly: "This time in the blessed land, the Princess obtained an opportunity, comprehended the key, and stepped into the Transformation God Realm."
"Truly good luck."
"According to the original estimate, the Princess would have stepped into the Transformation God Realm in two years."
By that time, nothing would be delayed. They would already be married, so going or not wouldn't be delayed.
Unexpectedly, things changed, and the Princess suddenly had an opportunity and broke through to the Transformation God Realm.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "No one knows about this, right?"
"Besides the Prince Consort and the Emperor, no one else knows."
"Can the Spirit Guards be kept in the dark?"
"The Spirit Guards will keep it a secret for a while, and it will be announced after the wedding."
"Once a prince or princess steps into the Transformation God Realm, they must enter the Spirit Guards and cannot delay it?"
"The Princess's Phoenix Divine Sword has long since reached the Spirit-level, so once she steps into the Transformation God Realm, she is directly suitable for enrollment in the Spirit Guards."
"Doesn't one have to apply to the Spirit Guards? Isn't it a fierce competition to get in? How has it become mandatory here?"
"For others, the Spirit Guards are something they would fight tooth and nail to get into, but..." Li Yuzhen stopped there.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "That's true. How many princes and princesses dare to go to the extraterritorial battlefields? They are all very afraid of death."
Li Yuzhen was embarrassed and remained silent.
She wouldn't dare to say such a thing herself. Only the Prince Consort, as a prince, would dare to speak such a truth.
Looking at the Jade Scenery Dynasty and the Yuanzhen Dynasty, how many princes and princesses go to the extraterritorial battlefields?
Not to mention them, even among the princes and princesses of the Phoenix Dynasty, there are many who would rather stop at the Transformation Intent Realm and deliberately not break through in order to avoid going to the extraterritorial battlefield.
Or they reach the Transformation God Realm but don't practice martial skills, only cultivate their realm.
That way, they don't have to go to the extraterritorial battlefield.
And no one can say anything about it.
Strong comprehension of martial arts mental cultivation doesn't necessarily mean sufficient comprehension of martial skills. If they are not compatible, they cannot comprehend deeper and reach the Spirit-level.
The geniuses of this world often have their martial skills enter the Spirit-level before their cultivation catches up.
After all, cultivation takes more time. Even with good comprehension, it takes time to cultivate step by step. Martial skills, on the other hand, test comprehension more. As long as comprehension is good, it is possible to step up a level in a day.
There are even prodigies who, upon finding a martial skill that suits them, can step into the Spirit-level in a day.
Reaching the cultivation level but not the martial skill level is often an excuse.
But knowing it and not saying it, the Emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty doesn't speak, and others don't want to say more.
After all, princes and princesses are all noble. It's not surprising that they don't want to risk their lives to earn a chance to achieve the Spirit Venerable Realm in the extraterritorial battlefields.
As princes and princesses, they can live well as Venerables. There's no need to desperately strive for a slim chance to become a Spirit Venerable.
How many Spirit Venerables have there been throughout history?
The earlier one steps into the Transformation God Realm, the easier it is to step into the Spirit Venerable Realm. If one evolves into the Transformation God Realm after the age of sixty, the possibility of entering the Spirit Venerable Realm is greatly reduced.
Of course, it's not absolute. It still depends on opportunity. If the opportunity arrives, even someone over a hundred years old can step into the Transformation Spirit Realm and achieve the Spirit Venerable Realm.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "A bright future... She also has Divine blood."
Li Yuzhen solemnly nodded.
Divine blood is extremely helpful for achieving the Spirit Venerable Realm.
The Spirit Venerable Realm is breaking through the limits of humanity. The limits of humanity are like a lock, firmly locking the essence, energy, and spirit, preventing them from rising to a higher level.
Divine blood dilutes this lock and weakens it, making it easier to achieve the Spirit Venerable Realm.
This is also the key reason why the Princess is viewed differently and why she is uniquely favored among all the princes and princesses.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I'm very curious, among the many princes, why was I specifically chosen to be the Prince Consort? Is it because it helps her step into the Spirit Venerable Realm?"
Li Yuzhen was stunned.
She had never thought of this. She only thought it was because he was a prince and not favored that the Jade Scenery Dynasty would agree.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "With the strength of your Phoenix Dynasty, which prince becomes the Prince Consort is directly designated, right?"
"This... I don't know." Li Yuzhen shook her head.
She really didn't know about this. She was originally in the Spirit Guards but was transferred back to be a guard. Her duty is to be the eyes and mouth of the Twelfth Princess.
She doesn't know about other things.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "It seems I am also a rare commodity."
Presumably, the original owner also had something the Twelfth Princess valued, otherwise, she wouldn't have invested so much.
Sending a guard over, and even a Spirit Guard as a guard.
And sending spiritual pills.
And sending demon crystals.
Not to mention they're not married yet, even if they were married, she might not be so generous.
After all, the status of the Prince Consort is not very high. He has to look at the Princess's expression, not the other way around.
Li Yuzhen was thoughtful.
After being said by Chu Zhiyuan, she also felt that there might be other inside stories.
She pondered secretly.
The Princess is indeed not someone who is easy to talk to, and she is not at all soft-hearted. She is very strict with the servants in the mansion.
The Princess is indeed too lenient with the Prince Consort, giving him whatever he wants.
Even if the Prince Consort provided a piece of information, it shouldn't warrant such a generous reward, right?
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I know about this."
"The Prince Consort needs to cooperate a bit."
"How to cooperate?"
"Don't reveal any flaws. Pretend to be the Princess during the wedding."
"Alright, just make sure the substitute doesn't reveal any flaws." Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Everything has been arranged properly, right?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Li Yuzhen cupped her fist and retreated: "This subordinate takes her leave."
She floated out of the small courtyard.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Phoenix Dynasty's imperial city, his eyes flashing.
Youlan was beside him and said softly: "Your Highness..."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Aunt, was I designated by the Phoenix Dynasty or by Father Emperor?"
"It seems to have been decided by the Emperor."
"So..." Chu Zhiyuan's eyes were burning: "In that case, any prince would have been the same."
Youlan said: "Your Highness, it may not be like that."
"When things are abnormal, there must be a reason." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Don't think too highly of people."
Youlan was helpless and didn't try to persuade him anymore.
——
After the soul increased again, Chu Zhiyuan felt that his cultivation speed was three times faster.
After a night of cultivation, when he opened his eyes in the morning, the little white snake in his chest already had four halos.
Unconsciously, he stepped into the fifth revolution.
It was a natural process, as easy as turning his hand.
He was overjoyed and couldn't help but want to laugh loudly.
But then he thought of the Twelfth Princess already stepping into the Transformation God Realm, and he couldn't help but stop his laughter.
Transformation Intent Nine Revolutions, and then the breakthrough after perfection takes the most time.
So there's really nothing to be happy about with his cultivation. He still needs to hurry.
If he could also step into the Transformation God Realm in two months, then he could also let Li Yuzhen spread the word, and he could enter the Spirit Guards while a substitute goes to the wedding.
What would the Twelfth Princess's expression be at that time?
Thinking of this, he was immediately full of energy, wishing he could go into seclusion for two months and break through to the Transformation God Realm in one breath.
Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking. The Transformation God Realm is not so easy to break through.
