More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Not to mention Bai Qingqing, Zhao Yu is now starting to suspect that Lu Chen might be possessed by some evil spirit.

Even the founding emperor of the Zhou dynasty and the first Prince of Zhennan did not achieve such a rapid advancement in their cultivation levels as Lu Chen.

It is rumored that Emperor Taizu of Zhou and Prince Zhennan received some special inheritance, which is why their cultivation level improved very quickly. However, even for them, it took several months to go from the peak of the mortal realm to the human realm.

However, it only took Lu Chen one month to go from an ordinary person to the early stage of the Human Realm.

If this gets out, the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably be in chaos, and the Zhou royal family will definitely intensify its suppression of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and may even send people to assassinate Lu Chen.

The Zhou royal family certainly does not want to see the Zhennan Prince's Mansion produce another first Zhennan Prince. Now that the Zhou Taizu has passed away, if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion produces a figure as terrifying as the first Zhennan Prince, then probably no one in the entire Great Zhou will be able to suppress the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. At that time, the Great Zhou may no longer be surnamed Ji, but Lu.

Seeing Zhao Yu staring at him in disbelief, Lu Chen said modestly, "It was just luck, a lucky breakthrough."

Zhao Yu's lips twitched slightly. Had he managed to break through by sheer luck?
It only took one night to go from the late stage of the Mortal Realm to the peak of the Human Realm. Is that considered lucky?
Zhao Yu was very curious about what kind of techniques the princess had left for Lu Chen that allowed him to make such a great breakthrough in his cultivation in such a short time. Could it be some kind of technique that sacrificed lifespan to improve his realm?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu reminded him, "Young Master, you don't need to be too anxious to improve your cultivation level. Now that those old fogies are watching over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, other forces don't dare to do anything to it directly. If the cultivation technique you practice is harmful to your body, it will be a loss."

Lu Chen understood what Zhao Yu was worried about, so he said, "Commander Zhao, don't worry, I know my limits and won't practice those evil arts."

Although Lu Chen said that, Zhao Yu still had some doubts about him. He felt that if it was really because of the cultivation technique, then such a heaven-defying technique must have come at some cost. It was impossible for a spiritual martial artist to practice martial arts without any price to pay.

When a spiritual warrior absorbs spiritual energy, he will suffer great pain, and his body is always at risk of being devoured by the spiritual energy. This is especially true when practicing cultivation techniques, where the possibility of being devoured by spiritual energy is even greater. These are all costs that must be paid.

Lu Chen's cultivation level improved so quickly, there must have been other costs involved, and those costs were quite high.

Regardless of whether the cost is lifespan or something else, Zhao Yu doesn't want Lu Chen to act so impulsively. In his view, as long as Lu Chen can hold on until the next generation grows up, that's enough. The bloodline of the Prince of Zhennan can't always be people like Lu Chen.

As long as Lu Chen has more offspring, even if a powerful figure like the first Zhennan King doesn't emerge, a pillar like the current Zhennan King will appear.

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "It seems I need to report this to the King later. If Lu Chen continues to train like this, something bad is likely to happen."

Lu Chen then asked, "Commander Zhao, is there anything else you need?"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then said after regaining his senses, "It's nothing. I was just a little worried about the young master's health because his cultivation level has improved so quickly."

Lu Chen said, "Commander Zhao, please rest assured, I want to live for tens of thousands of years, I won't do anything reckless."

Zhao Yu said, "Then I won't disturb the young master any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yu disappeared back into the shadows of the pavilion, but he did not linger there.

……

The Prince of Zhennan's bedroom.

A maid was feeding medicine to the Prince of Zhennan when a shadow appeared in the middle of the room. The next moment, Zhao Yu's figure materialized. Seeing Zhao Yu there, the Prince of Zhennan stopped the maid from continuing to feed the medicine with a glance, and the maid respectfully stepped aside.

The Prince of Zhennan asked, "What happened?"

Zhao Yu replied, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has broken through again."

Over the past month, Zhao Yu would report to the Prince of Zhennan every time Lu Chen broke through. Although the Prince of Zhennan was powerful, he was now suffering from the backlash of the spiritual evil and was bedridden. He could not sense what was happening outside and could only listen to other people's reports.

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's words, the Prince of Zhennan said, "It seems that the cultivation technique left to him by his mother is indeed extraordinary, as he has broken through to the peak of the mortal realm so quickly."

Zhao Yu then added, "Your Majesty, it's not the peak of the mortal realm, but the early stage of the human realm."

This……

The Prince of Zhennan, who was lost in thought, didn't react for a moment. He asked incredulously, "What did you say? Not the peak of the mortal realm?"

"Early stage of the Human Realm? How is that possible?"

This was the first time he had ever heard of someone being able to go from an ordinary person to a Spirit Warrior in the early stage of the Human Realm within a month. You have to know that Bai Qingqing is only in the middle stage of the Human Realm now.

Moreover, Lu Chen hadn't come into contact with any strange or evil corpses during this period.

Zhao Yu continued, "Last night, after the young master broke through to the peak of the mortal realm, he asked to absorb some strange spiritual energy. So I got him a lantern ghost. After the young master absorbed the spiritual energy from that ghost, he asked me to send a bag of lantern ghosts to his room. This morning when he came out of his room, I found that he had broken through again."

After listening to Zhao Yu's report, the Prince of Zhennan fell silent.

Although it seems that Lu Chen's cultivation level has improved rapidly, it is a good thing for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, after all, it means that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a successor.

However, this could very well lead to great trouble. On the one hand, Lu Chen's cultivation level has improved so quickly, which means that the cultivation technique he is practicing may require a great price, and may even shorten Lu Chen's lifespan.

Secondly, if outsiders were to find out about Lu Chen's current cultivation level, that would be a huge problem.

Even though the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has declined, it is still regarded as a thorn in the side by the Zhou royal family. If another person with even more terrifying talent than the first Zhennan Prince were to emerge, and more importantly, he would have dragon aura, the members of the Great Zhou royal family would probably not be able to sleep well.

After thinking for a moment, the Prince of Zhennan said to Zhao Yu, "Keep the news under wraps and don't let the news of Chen'er's breakthrough get out."

Zhao Yu said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, ever since the Crown Prince purged those traitors, the secret guards have increased their protection of the entire palace. As long as the Crown Prince does not leave the Zhennan Palace on his own initiative, no one outside will know that he has reached the Human Realm."

Although Zhao Yu said that, Prince Zhennan was still a little worried. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. He used to think that Prince Zhennan’s mansion was well-protected and had secret guards, so no spies could get in. But what happened? The entire mansion was almost completely infiltrated.

Then the Prince of Zhennan said, "The best way is to use something to conceal his aura so that no one can tell his cultivation level."

Spirit warriors can conceal their aura, but some keen-eyed or higher-level spirit warriors can see through those who are hiding their true strength at a glance. (End of Chapter)
