For someone at the second level of Qingyun, wanting to reach the Lim官 level within two years was simply impossible. Without a large amount of cultivation-enhancing elixirs, he had absolutely no chance.

Although a batch of people had been dispatched this time because the prince had reached the age of eighteen, it was likely that the most difficult journey would be his own.

Thinking of his mother in the imperial palace, who had done everything in her power for him, James Carter felt a surge of gratitude in his heart.

The ruthlessness of the royal family was fully manifested in the Great Chu Dynasty. The imperial system here was quite different from that on Earth. Even as a prince, one had to serve as a local official and achieve political merit before being able to rise step by step. If any major problems occurred during the tenure, one would also lose the qualification to compete for the throne. That was why all sorts of secret scheming took place.

More than fifty princes!

Just thinking about so many princes gave James Carter a headache.

Originally, he had set out with over a hundred guards, but now only a little more than twenty remained.

The old emperor was at the Domineering level. If divided by cultivation ranks, James Carter knew he was at the Nascent Soul level. At this stage, if he could not break through, his lifespan would be at its end. A Domineering-level person was the strongest force in the Great Chu Kingdom. As long as he was there, the kingdom would not face any major crisis. If he were gone, the country would face severe danger. What the old emperor was doing now was secluding himself for cultivation, hoping to break through his current level.

With no energy to manage affairs, the struggle among the princes in the capital had already begun.

Gently adjusting the bandages on his arrow wound, Biyou’s movements were extremely gentle.

This time the injury was too severe. Even with the palace’s unique elixirs, it would still take some time to fully recover.

Her fair wrist moved, the jade hairpin swayed slightly, and a strand of hair softly brushed her cheek as she moved.

Although this beautiful maid showed a tenderness that James Carter had never experienced before, James Carter had no choice but to focus more on survival.

Chapter 002: The Feng Shui Spirit Eye

A gentle breeze blew, and the twenty-three guards stood like stone statues, their sturdy bodies naturally exuding a murderous aura.

The refined iron armor they wore was forged for close combat, and in their hands they gripped extremely heavy refined iron spears.

After fighting all the way, only the elite of the elite remained!

His gaze constantly scrutinized these men.

This was all the power he could command, and compared to the other princes, it was only the lowest tier!

What was even more frustrating was that all this strength had been arranged by his mother; it turned out the original owner of this body had accomplished nothing!

Thinking of his mother in the deep palace, she was probably only granted favor by the emperor by chance, which resulted in his birth. With her limited influence, achieving this much was already very difficult.

The sky was exactly like that of Earth, the same sun hanging above, fresh air rushing in, and after inhaling this breath, his true qi circulated much faster.

“Your Highness, the terrain around here is dangerous. We must pass through quickly. After fifty li, a troop from Changtian City will come to meet us. Then we’ll be safe,” William Harper whispered.

“How far are the pursuers?” James Carter asked in a deep voice.

No one expected James Carter to suddenly speak, and they were all stunned.

His Highness was actually taking the initiative to understand the situation!

All along the journey, James Carter had never made any decisions, but now he asked this question. Samuel Cooper and William Harper exchanged glances, both with a look of delight in their eyes.

Could it be that the killing along the way had made His Highness mature?

“Reporting to Your Highness, the pursuers are almost here!” The guard captain Thomas Baker reported in a deep voice.

He was a burly man, his muscles bulging, also clad in refined iron armor. There was a red tassel on his helmet, and his whole body exuded a powerful murderous aura as he moved. A thick-backed broadsword, like a battle-axe, was strapped to his back, making him look extremely valiant.

Only then did James Carter look around.

Towering mountains and ridges, dense forests everywhere.

In the distant mountains, there were countless wonders: lofty peaks shrouded in clouds and mist, stone forests with bizarre rocks, and streams and waterfalls cascading down...

Standing halfway up the mountain, James Carter naturally viewed the feng shui of the area with a feng shui master’s eye.

“Excellent feng shui!” The family’s feng shui art was one of the most profound secret arts in China. Though his parents had force-fed him the knowledge, James Carter was already a master in this field. At a glance, he could see several places here worth examining.

“Qi stops, form rises, a stream in front and a ridge behind, the dragon’s head is hidden...”

Looking at the land ahead, James Carter muttered to himself. He realized that the terrain was a rare spiritual vein in terms of feng shui.

A look of shock appeared in James Carter’s eyes.

Spirit Eye!

James Carter realized that he was seeing things entirely through the Spirit Eye.

The Spirit Eye technique was actually a secret method in feng shui. Only true feng shui masters could open their heavenly eye to discern places of spiritual energy.

Only those feng shui masters who had opened their heavenly eye could truly be called real feng shui masters.
