At this moment, Liu Sheng came over and, seeing Chen Xuan's expression, instantly knew what he was worried about.

"Really?"

"Nonsense, I'm not someone who would joke with you!"

Liu Sheng glared at him, not showing much respect.

"Haha! That's good then!"

Since that's the case, let's wait and see.

"Don't be too happy yet. You must understand the coordinates of the sub-realm are in the Imperial Palace. Only Your Majesty can enter there, neither the Princes nor the Princesses can."

"Remember what Zhan Tian just told you. If you can't uphold the face of Great Yu, Your Majesty won't tell you."

"So whether you can obtain the sub-realm coordinates depends on yourself."

"I understand!"

Chen Xuan nodded, a monarch never lies!

"And one more thing, I need to remind you. Although your strength is at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm, it isn't enough to surpass those prodigies from the continent."

"The strength of Central Continent far surpasses the others, and you don't need to know the reason for now."

"So you have to be even stronger!"

"At least withstand..."

At this moment, Liu Sheng paused and thought carefully, after a moment, "Early stage of the eighth layer of Dao Realm!"

"That's the baseline!"

He added another sentence.

He didn't say to defeat, but to withstand.

But even so, Chen Xuan still felt enormous pressure, though... "I can do it!"

In an instant, his expression became firm and responded resolutely.

For the Human Realm, for them, it must be done even if impossible!

"Hmm!"

Liu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and his words weren't meant to provoke him but were truly needed, otherwise, there really might be no hope.

Especially those prodigies of Central Continent.

With Emperor Venerable present, it's absolutely terrifying!

...

Chen Xuan and Xiaoqi left the Three Judicial Departments; after all, he would stay here for a long time in the future, so Chen Xuan planned to take him around the Imperial City and surrounding provinces for fun, as a form of compensation.

Seven days later!

Three Judicial Departments!

"Daddy's going back first, if anything happens, send a message to me!"

Chen Xuan patted his head, feeling reluctant.

But there's no choice, and staying with Zhan Tian is better than with him.

"Don't worry, Daddy, I will cultivate diligently!"

A smile appeared on Xiaoqi's face; he felt reluctant too but didn't want Chen Xuan to see it, nor did he want him to worry.

"Hmm!"

This feeling is a bit like when he went to boarding school alone as a child.

Yet, for Xiaoqi, it was also a form of growth.

Afterward, Chen Xuan bowed deeply to Zhan Tian, "Then I'll trouble Elder Zhan with Xiaoqi."

"Don't worry, here with me, it'll definitely be better than by your side."

"Not just Great Yu, I'll gather the resources of the entire Three Judicial Departments to nurture him."

"By then, surpassing you won't be a problem!"

Zhan Tian was very confident.

Although there isn't much time, with his capability, surpassing Chen Xuan seemed easy in his view.

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Then the kid will wait and see."

From blue to better than blue, Xiaoqi was his son, surpassing him wouldn't that be the best outcome!

He was very happy to see such a scene.

"Daddy's leaving!"

Chen Xuan leaned down and hugged Xiaoqi.

"Goodbye, Daddy!"

Xiaoqi waved his hand, watching Chen Xuan's departing back, until his eyes finally reddened at that moment, but he still restrained himself from letting any tears fall.

"The kid's pretty good!"

Zhan Tian came to Xiaoqi's side, holding his small hand with rough fingers, "Next time we meet, give your dad a big surprise!"

"Hmm!"

Xiaoqi nodded vigorously, his gaze firmly fixed on Zhan Tian.

...

Zhan Tian took Xiaoqi to the tenth level of Library Pavilion!

Even to ensure he could cultivate faster, he concentrated most of the Enlightenment Stone's energy on the tenth level.

This also led to the sudden slowing of the cultivation speed of the four people on the ninth level.

"What's going on?"

Bamboo Garden frowned tightly.

Then raised his head to look at the tenth level, for that child?

"Looks like Zhan Tian has made a new choice in his heart!"

He then slowly closed his eyes and continued cultivating; although the speed had decreased significantly, compared to outside, it was still several times faster.

Enough!

"Why?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zongzheng's brows furrowed; under such speed, even if able to reach fifth layer of Dao Realm, it couldn't reach the peak before the Dead Zone opens.

That....

Suddenly, his face turned ugly.

But Wu Yue remained calm and even felt relaxed. Although he said he wanted to compete for the minister position in front of Zhan Tian, after so long cultivating, although his strength improved significantly.

Only he himself knew, it was still far from enough.

But the grand words declared in front of Zhan Tian forced him to fight for it, which made him feel increasingly pressured, even faintly collapsing.

He understood Zhan Tian, seeing him directly bring Xiaoqi to the tenth level, it also represented his thoughts.

"Being a handyman isn't bad either."

Wu Yue murmured, even showing a slight smile.

From this point, it shows that he's not easy, at least he can see himself clearly.

This is something most people can't achieve.

Of course, the happiest one should be Ye Chen; he was originally casual by nature, never thought about the minister position, even inwardly rejected it.

However, due to his talent being the strongest in the Three Judicial Departments.

If there's no accident, the minister position was supposed to be his.

So, to avoid this position, he deliberately acted casually, aiming to disappoint Zhan Tian.

But who would have thought afterward he was directly grabbed and put into the ninth level.

And even got beaten up several times.

No choice, not wanting to get beaten, he could only cultivate properly; in such a short time, the fifth layer of Dao Realm was already at the peak, and Spirit Cultivator also reached the third layer of Dao, not far from the fourth.

Replace anyone and they wouldn't know how happy they'd be?

But he... couldn't find any joy.

Now it was good!

"Hmm... let's cultivate well!"

"Haha!"
