From the beginning, the Eldest Prince considered Prince Li as his target. If he could become a Martial Saint, the selection for the throne would be beyond any doubt!
However, having cultivated to this point, even with his confidence, the Eldest Prince did not think he could reach the Martial Saint Realm before the current Emperor passes away peacefully.
So, relying solely on cultivation is not enough to compete for the throne.
"Back then, the Grand Ancestor also achieved greatness late. Your Highness has stored energy and is ready to release it. Within ten years, you will surely become a Martial Arts Master! If by then... you could have the Emperor's Dragon Qi, breaking through to become a Great Grandmaster will be a natural progression, and ultimately you may have a chance to reach the peak!"
Yuan Xin added another sentence.
Having followed the Eldest Prince for years, he was truly a confidant, which allowed him to speak with relatively fewer concerns.
