16: The Empress of Destiny, Meng Ruxue!

“According to you, what level can I reach with my current strength?” Ninth Prince Chu Yun asked.

【Host's current cultivation is at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Realm, but his true combat power can be described as invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm!】

【Furthermore, if the Host can skillfully master and utilize the Heavenly Blood Divine Root Bone's innate Divine Ability, "Blood Heaven World," then even a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, the Host can fight!】

Upon hearing this, Ninth Prince Chu Yun had a general understanding of his current strength.

Invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm was already enough for him at the moment.

Looking at the younger generation across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, he now had no opponents!

“Use that Venerable Realm character summoning card as well.”

【Using Venerable Realm character summoning card, please wait...】

Tsk!

After the summoning card was used, the space in front of Ninth Prince Chu Yun was suddenly forcibly torn open by a surge of power.

From within, a bald, burly man slowly walked out.

“Wan Lei, greets Host!”

After the bald, burly man appeared, his Face was mighty and domineering, and a thunderous might seemed to spread throughout his body.

He bowed respectfully towards Ninth Prince Chu Yun.

【Ding!】

【Summoning successful, Venerable Wan Lei.】

【Friendly reminder: The characters summoned by the System have 100% loyalty and obedience. Even if the Host asks them to commit suicide, they will not hesitate for a second.】

【Furthermore, the characters summoned by the System, even if they are thousands of miles away from the Host, can easily establish contact through a spiritual connection.】

Ninth Prince Chu Yun looked at Venerable Wan Lei in front of him and thought, “Open Venerable Wan Lei's introduction panel.”

【Name: Venerable Wan Lei.】

【Realm: Late Stage of the Venerable Realm.】

【Physique: Thunder God Saint-Grade Physique.】

【Root Bone: Saint-Grade.】

“Holy cow!”

“As expected of System's products, they are indeed top-notch!”

“Both the Root Bone and Physique are the legendary Saint-Grade!”

Ninth Prince Chu Yun was somewhat amazed by this.

The Root Bone Ranks of the Yuan Realm are divided into levels one to ten, and after level ten, there are Earth-Grade, Heaven-Grade, King-Grade, and Saint-Grade.

Physiques are also divided into Mortal Physique, Battle Physique, Spirit Physique, Profound Physique, King Physique, and Saint Physique.

Basically, Cultivators in the Yuan Realm who can possess an Earth-Grade Root Bone or a Spirit Physique are already considered Geniuses.

Those who are called peerless Prodigies, possessing the bearing of a Great Emperor, are the ones who will have a King Physique or a Saint-Grade Root Bone.

And the characters summoned by this System, appearing with Saint-Grade as standard, their future potential is probably not ordinarily high.

“No need for formalities.”

“Venerable Wan Lei, from now on, just call me Your Highness; no need to call me Host anymore.”

“From now on, you will stay by Your Highness's side. Try not to expose your Qi on a daily basis, understand?” Ninth Prince Chu Yun instructed.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Venerable Wan Lei replied.

Ninth Prince Chu Yun thought for a moment, since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well go out for a walk.

“Wan Lei, let's go out for a stroll with Your Highness.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ninth Prince Chu Yun took Venerable Wan Lei out to familiarize himself with the Imperial City.

However, because he was unfamiliar with the place, he also called upon Commander Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was initially somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of Wan Lei beside Ninth Prince Chu Yun.

But Ninth Prince Chu Yun explained to him that Wan Lei was his confidant, and Luo Feng didn't ask any more questions.

… … … … …

Prime Ministers Residence.

At this moment, within an antique boudoir, a captivating fragrance permeated the air, as if transporting one into a dream, ethereal and endlessly enchanting.

“Young Miss, I heard that Ninth Prince Chu Yun has safely returned to the Imperial City.”

“Your Majesty has prepared a residence and servants for him in advance, and Consort Shi even sent one of her confidants over. Everyone is very attentive to him.”

In front of the dressing table, a charming and elegant beautiful woman stood by, reporting the news to the stunning beauty in front of her.

A young woman in a blue long dress, whose appearance could be described as peerless beauty, with a graceful head and moth-like eyebrows, and a figure that was flawlessly perfect.

A slender waist and perky buttocks, naturally rounded, beautiful as a perfect landscape.

Her elegant and cold demeanor gave off an untouchable aura, and the depths of her eyes were filled with indifference.

As if everything in this Great Xia Dynasty meant nothing to her.

Her name was Meng Ruxue, the daughter of Meng Changzhong, the current Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty.

She was also the universally recognized most beautiful woman among the younger generation of the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

Her admirers, no exaggeration, could fill an entire province!

From the Crown Prince and Imperial Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty,

Down to some ordinary Loose Cultivators, everyone deep down wished to get close to her.

But unfortunately, Meng Ruxue was inherently aloof, and many who wished to see her were met with rejection.

Furthermore, let alone some of the younger generation, sometimes Meng Ruxue wouldn't even give Face to her own father.

And for Meng Ruxue, among those so-called young Geniuses on this land, she didn't think highly of any of them.

The world did not know that although Meng Ruxue rarely went out on weekdays,

Her Realm, after more than twenty years of Cultivation, had already reached the Peak of the Shattered Realm.

Shattered Realm at twenty-something, what kind of concept was that?

In the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, the fastest Cultivator to reach the Shattered Realm only did so after sixty years.

Someone like Meng Ruxue was truly unprecedented.

Once this matter was announced, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would be in an uproar.

Even some old monsters of the Heavenly Phase Realm would definitely not be able to sit still.

However, the main reason Meng Ruxue could achieve this was because of her true identity.

She was a Reincarnation, in her previous life, she was the Celestial Fate Empress who stood at the Peak of the Yuan Realm.

She controlled the Dao of Celestial Fate, sat firmly on the Mountain of Destiny, and swept through all directions!

Even other Great Emperors feared her, the Celestial Fate Empress, by three points.

However, powerful as she was, when she and the Heavenly Demoness were fighting over an extraterrestrial object back then, because their powers were too overbearing, they directly cut the extraterrestrial treasure in half, splitting it into two.

And when the power of that extraterrestrial treasure was released, both her and the Heavenly Demoness's true bodies were annihilated within it.

Fortunately, both of them obtained half of the extraterrestrial treasure, and the power of that treasure fused into their Souls, allowing them to Reincarnate and be Reborn.

Meng Ruxue knew very well in her heart that since she could Reincarnate and be Reborn through this treasure, then the Heavenly Demoness must also still be alive.

For so many years, Meng Ruxue had secretly sent people to search for the Heavenly Demoness's whereabouts, but so far, there had not been much progress.

“He's just an Imperial Prince who returned after being missing. Although he has the Shi Family backing him, the Crown Prince's faction has been operating in the Imperial City for many years, and their Foundation is deep; he's not comparable to a newcomer.”

“In terms of open and hidden struggles, that Chu Yun won't have much chance of winning.”

After hearing the beautiful woman next to her say this, she spoke in a clear, indifferent voice.

Her tone carried a hint of disinterest and disdain for Ninth Prince Chu Yun.

In her opinion, if this Ninth Prince, who should have died, returned and did not contend for imperial power, he would surely die in the future.

If he did contend for imperial power, compared to the Crown Prince, who had many retainers, he would have almost no chance of winning.

She naturally wasn't very interested in understanding someone who was going to die either way.
