Chapter 699: Chapter 695: Moved Up

”Bravo—!”

”Ninth Prince, you are mighty!”

”Ninth Prince, magnificent!”

”This is wonderful!”

...

The cheers were endless.

Chu Zhiyuan walked slowly through the crowd, who automatically made way for him.

He held his head high and chest out, his handsome face adorned with a smile, full of pride and confidence.

He accepted the cheers from the people with ease.

This time, he had truly made a name for himself and greatly boosted the morale of the Jade Dynasty.

The thoughts of the Jade Dynasty’s citizens were becoming clearer to him now.

He originally thought that the people would hate the Phoenix Dynasty the most, as it frequently waged wars and oppressed the Jade Dynasty.

But in reality, the Jade Dynasty hated the Yuanzhen Dynasty the most, even more than the Phoenix Dynasty.

Towards the Phoenix Dynasty, they felt both hatred and a sense of admiration and awe.

He thought that going to the Phoenix Dynasty to become a Prince Consort was an utter humiliation, but in the eyes of the Jade Dynasty’s citizens, it was a matter of great honor.

No matter if the prince went to become a hostage, after all, he was marrying a Princess of the Phoenix Dynasty.

And she was the Twelfth Princess, as beautiful as a celestial being, with great talent, and highly favored.

This was the first time a prince of the Jade Dynasty had married a princess from the Phoenix Dynasty.

They believed that the Phoenix Dynasty’s princesses held a noble status, and a prince who could marry one was bestowed with immense honor.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, they thought this way, which was completely different from his own thoughts.

He looked down at the orb in his palm.

It was the size of a Dragon Eye, crystal clear, as if carved from ice, perfectly round and flawless.

But what he saw earlier was that this bead was colorful, similar to the Soul Pearls of the Demon Clan.

He suspected that this bead was indeed a Soul Pearl.

After holding it, he knew it was not a Soul Pearl but a similar existence.

Because of this, Cheng Yunzheng was able to wield the Heavenly Inquiry Sword so many times.

Without this bead, Cheng Yunzheng probably wouldn’t have been able to use the Heavenly Inquiry Sword long ago, leaving him at Zhiyuan’s mercy.

So, directly during the action, he seized this bead.

Cheng Yunzheng must have realized it by now.

But what if he did realize it?

No one saw it was Zhiyuan who took it, just speculated; there was no need for him to admit it.

He speculated that this bead had similar uses to the Soul Pearls, able to absorb spiritual power.

Absorbing spiritual power meant it could aid cultivation and extend visualization time.

Extending visualization time would then extend cultivation time.

For cultivation of the Infinite Brightness Scripture, lack of spiritual power resulting in insufficient cultivation time was the situation for everyone.

This was because cultivating the Infinite Brightness Scripture consumed too much spiritual power.

He found the secret of cultivating the Infinite Brightness Scripture, directly visualizing the Great Bright Peak, overcoming this disadvantage.

But it didn’t mean that spiritual power was sufficient.

Leaving the Great Bright Peak at night to cultivate still consumed a massive amount of spiritual power.

Cultivating the Great Brightness Fist also consumed spirit, and spiritual power wasn’t enough.

Since acquiring the Soul Pearl, this problem was solved.

If this bead only had this function, it would overlap with the efficacy of the Soul Pearl.

——

”This is a Spiritual Treasure Pearl.”

Chu Honglin held the bead above his head, facing the sun above the Great Bright Peak, watching it sparkle with colorful light, and said slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”What is the marvel of the Spiritual Treasure Pearl?”

”It stores spiritual power.” Chu Honglin tossed the bead to Chu Zhiyuan: ”Keep it well, it is a rare treasure bead.”

”Does Uncle have one?”

”I don’t have such luck.” Chu Honglin snorted: ”I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never got one.”

”Is there none in the Imperial Treasury?”

”Such treasure beads are extremely scarce in the world, how could they be stored in the Imperial Treasury?”

Chu Zhiyuan tossed the bead to Chu Honglin: ”Uncle can keep it.”

”Give it to me?” Chu Honglin was taken aback and caught the treasure bead.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”You seem to like it very much, so keep it.”

Chu Honglin chuckled: ”You are too generous. Do you know the marvels of this bead?”

”It accumulates spiritual power and can draw on spiritual power.” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”It can assist in cultivation and in combat; I feel Uncle needs it more.”

”With its assistance, you can cultivate longer!” Chu Honglin snorted: ”It’s the critical moment for your cultivation, you need it the most!”

Saying this, he tossed the Spiritual Treasure Pearl back to Chu Zhiyuan: ”Hold onto it well, don’t let someone steal it.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Uncle...”

”No more chatter!” Chu Honglin snapped: ”Stop going back and forth, it’s yours, keep it. Such treasures require fate!”

”...Alright.” Chu Zhiyuan sighed.

He actually had a Soul Pearl, which he could use to extract spiritual power.

So this bead wasn’t that useful for him.

Seeing that Chu Honglin liked it, he wanted to give it to him as a token of gratitude for his care over the years.

Chu Honglin said: ”It seems this Fifth Prince is not only talented but also lucky. It must be a fortunate encounter for him.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Those with good talents often have good luck, after all, without good luck, how could they have good talents?”

One of the most important lucks for a person is the luck of being born, and being born a prince, the luck is not bad.

If the talent is also good, then the luck is even better, and it’s not strange to have such encounters.

Chu Honglin sighed: ”I never expected, you could defeat those two princes soundly.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Luck played a part, especially when I shredded Cheng Yunqi’s clothes, haha...”

Chu Honglin shook his head: ”This lacked grace, and Your Elder Brother did not like it.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: ”They were trying to steal my woman in front of me, should I still act with grace? Has Father lost his reason?!”

”Stop talking!” Chu Honglin snapped: ”Watch what you say.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: ”I would say this even in front of Father. With such a person, you should deal with him harshly, why leave any face for them!”

He wouldn’t reveal their intention to kill him, after all, without evidence, he would just be seen as boasting.

Chu Honglin said: ”No matter what, you won, boosting the prestige of our Dynasty.”

Chu Zhiyuan immediately smiled: ”Is there a reward from Father?”

”...None.” Chu Honglin shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face immediately turned cold as he sneered: ”That’s just like Father! If it were Eldest Brother, Second Brother, or Third Brother, they would have been richly rewarded long ago!”

Chu Honglin sighed: ”Zhao’er, your marriage will be moved up.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Chu Honglin said: ”In three months, you shall be wed.”

”Only three months?” Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Why so soon?”

”It was suggested by Your Elder Brother to change the wedding date, to avoid long nights fraught with dreams.”

”The Yuanzhen Dynasty people I dealt with have no face to meddle anymore, what’s all this about long nights fraught with dreams!”

”The Yuanzhen Dynasty will not give up, their plotting and schemes are unpredictable, and that Wentian Pavilion is much more powerful than our Observatory.”

”Do I just obediently comply?”

”Dare to defy the decree? You’d be directly confined or even demoted to a commoner.”

Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.

Demotion to commoner would mean reclaiming the Infinite Brightness Scripture and abolishing his cultivation.

”Zhao’er, have you never thought about why the Yuanzhen people want to steal your match, to become the Prince Consort of the Twelfth Princess?”

”Why?”

”Yuanzhen has the Wentian Pavilion, which can see some future events.” Chu Honglin snorted: ”Clearly, becoming the Prince Consort of the Twelfth Princess has great benefits.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, thoughtful.

Chu Honglin said: ”If the Yuanzhen people didn’t snatch, you not wanting to be this Prince Consort would make sense, but now that they do, you can’t miss this chance!”
