Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After imagining it for a while, Bai Qingqing stopped worrying about whether Lu Chen was possessed by some strange evil spirit. For Lu Chen, being possessed by a strange evil spirit would actually make him live longer, which wasn't a bad thing.

Bai Qingqing thought to herself that she should not worry about Lu Chen until she was pregnant with his child. She would wait until she had Lu Chen's offspring and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had an heir before she would find a way to get rid of the strange evil spirit possessing Lu Chen.

However, if the strange evil spirit possessing Lu Chen is removed, will Lu Chen's cultivation level still exist?

Spiritual warriors primarily focus on physical tempering, not on cultivating the soul. Therefore, even if a person's soul is affected, their cultivation level will not drop significantly.

The strange entity currently possessing Lu Chen is helping him improve his cultivation level. Once that strange entity is expelled, Lu Chen's cultivation level may still remain.

Bai Qingqing was startled again. Could this be one of the reasons why the Prince of Zhennan did not expose Lu Chen?

Let this strange and evil spirit help Lu Chen become stronger. After Lu Chen grows to a certain level, the Earth Realm Guardians of the Royal Palace will join forces to expel the strange and evil spirit from Lu Chen.

Although the Prince of Zhennan had most likely passed away by then, he could have left a contingency plan before his death and told the local officials in the palace about Lu Chen's situation.

Bai Qingqing felt a pang of emotion. The Prince of Zhennan was still the same Prince of Zhennan, even scheming against strange and evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing looked at Lu Chen with a hint of mockery. This strange creature possessing Lu Chen probably didn't know that he had been tricked by the Prince of Zhennan. He probably still thought that he could really replace Lu Chen and live among humans, enjoying wealth and glory.

……

Early the next morning.

Bai Qingqing then went to the room of the Prince of Zhennan.

After the Prince of Zhennan infused half of his dragon energy into Lu Chen, Lu Chen's health deteriorated further, and he is now bedridden and unable to get up.

Upon seeing Bai Qingqing arrive, the Prince of Zhennan, lying flat on the bed, spoke with difficulty, "What is it?"

Bai Qingqing reported directly to the king: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince broke through several levels last night and has now reached the peak of the Human Realm."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan fell silent for a moment. He suspected that the dragon energy had played a role, because the dragon energy could suppress the evil spirits and make cultivation less painful.

However, even with dragon energy, it only has a slight auxiliary effect, making cultivation a little easier, but it does not significantly increase the cultivation speed. Reaching the peak of the human realm in just one night is too exaggerated.

Seeing that the Prince of Zhennan had not spoken, Bai Qingqing reminded him, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's cultivation level is improving a bit too quickly."

The Prince of Zhennan knew, of course, that Lu Chen's cultivation rate was abnormal, but seeing that Bai Qingqing had brought it up specifically, he understood what she wanted to say, so he said, "Don't worry about it, perhaps the magic left to him by his mother is working."

Seeing that the Prince of Zhennan said this, Bai Qingqing stopped talking. She thought to herself that the King must have been prepared.

……

On the training ground.

Zhao Yu and the other two stared blankly at Lu Chen in front of them.

At this moment, Lu Chen had already removed the Obscure Light Pearl that concealed his aura, and he released his aura without reservation.

Sensing the aura of a peak Human Realm expert emanating from Lu Chen, Zhao Yu and the other two were even more terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

He advanced several minor realms in one night, directly reaching the peak of the Human Realm?

Their young master can no longer be described as a monster.

Even the most bizarre and evil spirits wouldn't advance in cultivation this quickly.

How did he manage to do that?

Lu Chen then said, "After I reached the peak of the Human Realm, I felt like there was no way forward. No matter how much spiritual energy I absorbed, it seemed difficult to improve my realm."

"Do the three of you know what I should do next to break through to the Spirit Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu and the other two finally snapped out of their shock. They exchanged glances and then temporarily suppressed their astonishment.

At this moment, Fu Li said with a smile, "Young Master, there is no need for you to be in such a hurry. The most important thing right now is to stabilize your realm. It is not too late to break through to the Spirit Realm after your realm is stabilized."

Zhao Yu also said, "Yes, Your Highness, your cultivation level has improved too quickly, which is actually bad for your health."

Seeing that neither Fu Li nor Zhao Yu answered his question directly, Lu Chen's gaze fell on Lu Xun.

Lu Xun originally wanted to advise Lu Chen not to rush his breakthrough, but seeing Lu Chen staring straight at him, Lu Xun had no choice but to say, "Young Master, to advance from the Human Realm to the Spirit Realm, one needs to fight against strange and evil spirits to more easily find the opportunity for a breakthrough."

When fighting against strange and evil spirits, the spiritual energy released by both sides will constantly collide. In this process, on the one hand, the body can increase the affinity between the body and the spiritual energy by constantly manipulating the spiritual energy. On the other hand, when different spiritual energy collide, some special substances will be generated. These substances enter the body and greatly help the spiritual warrior improve his realm.

Of course, it's not always necessary to fight to break through. Some people have broken through to the Spirit Realm without fighting strange and evil spirits, but it just takes a longer time.

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Lu Chen said, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why it was no use no matter how much spiritual energy I absorbed."

Lu Xun then continued, "Your Highness, rapid advancement in cultivation level is not necessarily a good thing. Rapid advancement can easily lead to spiritual backlash. Many prodigies in the Great Zhou Dynasty have suffered spiritual backlash because of their rapid advancement in cultivation level, ultimately becoming ordinary people, and some have even turned into monsters."

Although spiritual warriors need spiritual energy to cultivate, spiritual energy is a kind of poison to the human body. If a large amount of poison is absorbed in a short period of time and the body's resistance is not high enough, the person will suffer from poisoning when the poison reaches a lethal dose, which is called spiritual energy backlash.

Those severely affected by the backlash of the evil spirits will lose their lives directly. Those less severely affected may lose all their cultivation and ultimately be able to live as ordinary people for the rest of their lives. Being an ordinary person is still good, but the real fear is that their will will collapse and they will degenerate into monsters.

Many of the strange phenomena in this world are caused by the backlash of spiritual warriors from spiritual evil. Therefore, the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts also has the function of supervising all spiritual warriors in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hearing Lu Xun's advice, Lu Chen was about to say something when a servant rushed up to him, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Lu Chen asked, "What is it?"

The servant quickly said, "The Bureau of Demon Suppression has sent someone to say that there are no tasks for the Bureau of Demon Suppression during this period, and the young master can wait half a month before reporting to the Bureau of Demon Suppression."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. Go again in half a month?

He was supposed to report to the Town of Ghosts in the next few days, but it seems the Town of Ghosts doesn't want him to go.

Zhao Yu then said, "Your Highness, this is a good thing. It seems the people from the Zhengui Division are also worried that something might happen to you after you go there." (End of Chapter)
