When this divine figure took on a vague form, Cheng Guang suddenly felt his Primordial Spirit tremble, then it seemed to undergo a metamorphosis, changing from its original fiery red color to a pale gold that bordered on white gold.
Ascension Realm!
Both Spirit Dao and Martial Cultivation broke through at this moment!
This was an unexpected joy.
Cheng Guang only felt that he was now growing even more powerful. If he were to participate in the martial arts competition between Great Zhou and Great Wei right now, he probably wouldn\'t need any restrictions, and he could still snatch the first place.
However, there weren\'t many opportunities to showcase his strength at the moment.
It mainly came down to his high status; small skirmishes simply didn\'t require his involvement.
Cheng Guang couldn\'t help but smile, not finding anything wrong with this.
Now he could focus on improving his cultivation, completing tasks from the system to obtain rewards, then idle about, secretly growing stronger, which was quite nice. Stay connected with m-v l|e\'-NovelBin.net
While Cheng Guang was cultivating, Qing Luan and the Queen of South Ming were cooking.
The two had gotten along very well during this time, and the Queen had learned many dishes from Qing Luan. The flavor couldn\'t be said to be bad, but it certainly had a unique taste.
Cheng Guang did not want to waste even three hours.
When Qing Luan and the Queen brought the food to the table, Cheng Guang did not stop until he squeezed every last second out of the three hours and then ceased.
Immediately after, he seemed to sense something and turned his gaze towards the courtyard gate.
Outside the Million Specie Garden, one guard appeared on the shaded path with Zhang Shunlong in tow.
After bringing Zhang Shunlong here, the guard, noticing Cheng Guang was already looking their way,
and not seeing any displeasure in Cheng Guang\'s gaze falling on Zhang Shunlong, surmised Zhang Shunlong was probably an acquaintance of the Princely Heir, didn\'t intrude further, and turned to leave.
Zhang Shunlong entered the Million Specie Garden alone.
"Princely Heir."
Zhang Shunlong made his way through the Million Specie Garden and saluted Cheng Guang with clasped hands.
Cheng Guang looked at Zhang Shunlong, his eyes revealing a momentary surprise; he certainly hadn\'t expected Zhang Shunlong to come to Duke Zhen\'s Mansion at this time.
What surprised Cheng Guang even more was that
Zhang Shunlong, who had just caused a ruckus at the Prime Minister\'s Mansion, previously displaying a formidable aura and extraordinary might, now appeared even frailer than a weak scholar.
His aura was so faint it seemed to be at its utmost limit.
Cheng Guang wouldn\'t need to lift a finger—even blowing a breath of air seemed like it could knock Zhang Shunlong over.
Cheng Guang sized up Zhang Shunlong, smiling warmly, "Why have you come here?"
Zhang Shunlong, with a smile on his face—though a bit bitter—no longer showed the desperate grief from before but instead seemed like someone who had found a new purpose, providing support for someone whose heart had died.
"Princely Heir, I am here today to thank you for your assistance during this time."
"I, Zhang Shunlong, believe in karma—I repay kindness as well as avenge grudges. Your Grace has shown me kindness, and I must repay it."
Cheng Guang shook his head, "No need, I lack nothing."
Seeing Cheng Guang shake his head, Zhang Shunlong knew that Cheng Guang, the noble Princely Heir, probably didn\'t think there was anything valuable he could offer. He smiled, not bothering to explain any further.
After pondering for a moment, he reached to his brow, drew out a bit of golden radiance, held it in his palm, and offered it to Cheng Guang.
"Princely Heir, I have nothing of value, but what remains with me is some virtue from a past life. The Power of Virtue has a tremendous effect on Sky-Men. With virtue, your cultivation speed will increase significantly."
"Virtue?" Cheng Guang paused, not quite understanding what Zhang Shunlong was talking about.
Zhang Shunlong didn\'t explain much either, slowly pushing his hand forward, and the golden radiance entered Cheng Guang\'s body.
Cheng Guang was momentarily stunned, feeling an inexplicable closeness to heaven and earth. The ancient royal blood of Great Xia within him sped up its flow, as if cheering, blending into the ancient Great Xia royal bloodline bit by bit.
The already dazzling royal bloodline of Great Xia, upon integrating this bit of virtue, seemed to gain an even greater luster.
Now, with every breath Cheng Guang took, it was as if he could absorb Heavenly and Earthly Qi into his body.
Cheng Guang, sensing the change in his bloodline, was somewhat dumbfounded.
How could his ancient Great Xia royal bloodline absorb virtue?
What exactly was virtue?
Something earned by doing good deeds for heaven and earth, for the people?
Cheng Guang felt puzzled, sensing a strange connection between his ancient Great Xia royal bloodline and the Power of Virtue, and he silently looked at Zhang Shunlong.
Zhang Shunlong seemed to notice Cheng Guang\'s confusion and explained with a smile, "Heaven and earth have changed, gods are dead, and Devil Beasts rampant; the source of heaven and earth\'s virtue has long since disappeared."
"This bit of virtue I have is a blessing from a past life. Although I spent a lot of it to settle grievances, I still have some left over."
"Having repaid the kindness, I will take my leave."
After finishing his inexplicable speech to Cheng Guang, Zhang Shunlong took his leave with a slight bow, step by step heading towards the mansion\'s outer gates.
He didn\'t care whether Cheng Guang understood or not, it didn\'t matter to him.
With measured steps, he departed.
