"Of course there was."
Jun Changge nodded and said, "Back in the day, the Human Ancestor was the Martial Cultivator who broke through all Heavenly Barriers. Among the descendants of the Human Ancestor, there were also such individuals, like the Main Hall Master. Later, figures of such caliber also appeared in the Three Religions, but the Human Clan still could not surpass the Eternal Night Demon Clan. While mutant beasts played a role, it was also because the Demon Clan had the presence of the supre Demon God."
Lin Yue nodded.
Indeed, the Demon Clan was among them.
"Were there other cultivation systems that produced beings who broke through all Heavenly Barriers?" Lin Yue asked.
"There were," Jun Changge nodded and said, "the Human Emperor."
He spoke softly, "The Human Emperor walked the path of the Heart Phase. Although entry was extrely difficult, this line of cultivators was very rare, but their potential was boundless. Back then, the Human Emperor was able to unite the Human Clan; naturally, he was also a supre existence."
Lin Yue was finally certain.
The seven paths that could break all Heavenly Barriers were Ancient God's Way, Martial Cultivator, Three Religions, Heart Phase, and Demon Clan.
However...
The Ancient God's Way seed exceptionally unique, producing a Divine Emperor capable of sweeping across the world, even making the Three Religions retreat.
"Any great figure is one with imnse determination and grand aspirations, with infinite possibilities in their heart's direction."
Jun Changge looked at Lin Yue and said, "Your Highness also needs to find your own heart, great determination, and grand aspirations. Only then can you possibly surpass the other princes. After all, one's cultivation is crucial."
"I understand," Lin Yue nodded slightly, "However, to survive in the prince's struggle, one cannot just focus on cultivation, there's no other way."
"Indeed."
Jun Changge said, "After the court opens on the sixteenth of the first month, Your Highness will formally regain the identity of a prince after eting the Crown Prince. At that ti, you will also start experiencing the princely trials, which Your Highness must handle with care."
Lin Yue nodded and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, the prince has an inspection examination, does Master know?"
"Naturally, I know." Jun Changge nodded slightly.
"The three overseeing agencies, I don't yet know which one to observe."
Lin Yue shook his head, "Does Master know anything about these three agencies? Which one would be better for to supervise?"
"Where does Your Highness wish to go?" Jun Changge asked.
"I don't have any specific preference," Lin Yue said, "But I do have so interest in the Dawn Platform."
After all, his mother Lin Jianlu was once a mber of the Dawn Platform.
"That is sowhat troubleso," Jun Changge smiled and said, "The Heavenly Punishnt Departnt and Divine Pivot Institute are easier to say; although there are various personnel, since Your Highness is a prince, the inspection examination will not be complex."
"I'm not very familiar with the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt and Divine Pivot Institute," Lin Yue shook his head.
Jun Changge smiled slightly without saying anything, just swept his sleeve lightly over the table.
Imdiately, a thick book appeared on the table.
"Your Highness, this is a detailed explanation of all the large and small overseeing agencies in Di Hong City, including important figures within each agency, with my annotations as well. Your Highness may take a look," Jun Changge said.
"Oh?" Lin Yue imdiately began to browse through it.
Duke Heng had Jun Changge teach him, not only for the important Dao Heart but also to let him understand more about Di Hong City.
Even though Lin Yue's speed of thought and eyesight far exceeded mortals, almost able to read a page in a glance, he still carefully browsed for a while before finishing the excessively thick book.
Now, he understood the roles of these three overseeing agencies.
The Heavenly Punishnt Departnt, bearing the will of the Eye of Heaven and possessing the mystical Heavenly Punishnt Treasure, was mainly responsible for searching and capturing sinners, as well as any demon clans possibly lurking in the Great Yong.
The Heavenly Punishnt was the unavoidable punishnt of the Heavenly Dao, deriving its na, witnessing the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt's lofty position.
And the function of the Divine Pivot Institute was also extraordinary.
Its main duty was to control the distribution and concentration changes of the Essence within the Yong Realm.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth was the most important cultivation resource, and its concentration also affected the qualifications of newborns. Periodically, the Divine Pivot Institute would determine the distribution of Essence based on the ranking of contributions from various regions, including several sects.
Those who ate the energy would be enlightened and live long; those who controlled the Heaven and Earth spirits were the pivots.
Hence the na Divine Pivot Institute.
However, in Jun Changge's annotations, the Divine Pivot Institute was also the most corrupt institution.
As for the Dawn Platform, it was a highly esteed force of the Human Clan during the Eternal Night Period—Firewood Tower evolved into it to this day.
During the Eternal Night Period, darkness invaded Heaven and Earth. The Human Ancestor taught the Human Clan to use fire to dispel darkness, reducing many unnecessary deaths. The descendants of the Human Clan established the Firewood Tower organization, sending people to explore in the Eternal Night, seeking food, habitats, Heaven and Earth Treasures, and avoiding Mutant Beast activity areas and more.
Although the Great Yong now established dispelled the Eternal Night within the Yong Realm, the Eternal Night still existed.
To prevent changes in the Eternal Night beyond the national boundaries and to search for Heaven and Earth Treasures and Mutant Beasts within the Eternal Night Realm, the Divine Emperor still preserved the Firewood Tower, renaming it the Dawn Platform.
These three overseeing agencies had astonishing backgrounds, lofty intentions, and outstanding roles.
"Since that's the case, I've made a decision."
After reading the detailed descriptions of the three overseeing agencies, Lin Yue also had an idea in mind.
The trial task, being a trial, naturally had a considerable degree of difficulty.
If the trial could not be passed, not only was the rich reward not obtained, but there was also a potential for punishnt.
So, it's best to choose a sure bet.
"Your Highness has always been intelligent; it's good to have a plan in mind," Jun Changge smiled and nodded.
"Just waiting for the court to open in a month," Lin Yue smiled.
Jun Changge hesitated for a mont and suddenly said, "By the way, Your Highness, once you regain your prince status and establish the mansion, Duke Heng might send so people to you to bring to the Prince Mansion."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Lord Qi ntioned it to , allowing to select so people from the guest elders."
Jun Changge said, "Given Your Highness's status in Lord Qi's heart and Your Highness's relationship with the Duke Heng Mansion, Your Highness should be able to take away two Minister Elders from the mansion, and several Upper Ministers as well, and Guest Elders even more so."
He paused for a mont and said, "At that ti, if Your Highness wouldn't mind, you can choose ."
"Does Master wish to co?" Lin Yue's eyes lit up.
This Jun Changge was once a talented figure among Confucian cultivators, reaching the Three Talents Heaven Barrier Peak in less than a century of cultivation, which spoke volus.
Moreover, Jun Changge clearly still had the heart to advance. One day, if his Dao Heart was strong enough, he might achieve Harmonization and enter the Saint realm!
He naturally could not wish for a better opportunity with such a person.
"I am at the Duke Heng Mansion to repay a debt."
Jun Changge said, "However, the debt is already repaid, and there remains in my heart an unfulfilled aspiration, but the Duke Heng Mansion probably cannot assist . Yet, Your Highness, being a prince, has astonishing potential, and the future may present opportunities for to realize my long-cherished wish."
Lin Yue understood and asked, "However, why does Master not seek out other princes? Given Master's credentials, most princes should be very welcoming to you, right?"
"There isn't any particular reason, just a bit of pride in my heart, unwilling to humble myself beneath others," Jun Changge shook his head slowly.
Lin Yue understood.
Indeed.
Jun Changge also aspired to enter the Saint realm and would not casually beco a subordinate to a prince.
But with him, it was different.
Jun Changge had known him since his vulnerable days; he was also his teacher, holding a unique position, which did not count as humbling himself under soone else.
"Good, since Master is willing, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
Lin Yue nodded and said, "By then, I will speak with Lord Qi, and once my Prince Mansion is established, Master will be on my estate as a Minister Elder."
Jun Changge smiled, "Your Highness's kindness is enough; the title isn't important."
"But what is Master's long-cherished wish? Why not tell earlier?" Lin Yue wondered.
"There's no need to say now. Once Your Highness grows to that point, passing the tenth test of the Eastern Palace trials, you will naturally know," Jun Changge shook his head.
"Okay," Lin Yue nodded.
...
As ti passed day by day, the day of his marriage to Qi Yinmo quickly arrived.
