127: Defying fate?

Hearing Shangguan Yuexi's words, a look of realization flashed in Nangong Wenxin's eyes.

He had previously guessed that today's changes were all due to the Little Prince, and he didn't expect it to be true!

Nangong Wenxin's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Your Highness, may you elaborate?"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, "The Prince left behind a mysterious item before, which I handed over to Yuer when he was one year old."

"Three days ago, after hearing what he said to you, I was curious and asked, but Yuer said I would know today."

"Today, when I asked him again, I learned that a Mysterious Person took that mysterious item from him, and in exchange, helped Yuer, me, your Zhenbei Army, and Qing Ling and others change our fate against Heaven!"

"Changing fate against Heaven?"

Nangong Wenxin and the others' expressions changed drastically, "Your Highness, is there really such a bizarre thing?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Shangguan Yuexi glanced at him and continued, "Regardless of whether you've tested it or not, won't you know once I tell you the results?"

Nangong Wenxin bowed slightly, "Please enlighten us, Your Highness, so that our brothers may know."

"Please enlighten us, Your Highness!"

All of the Zhenbei Army bowed slightly, wanting to know the situation of changing fate against Heaven.

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly and said, "After Yuer made his request, the Mysterious Person told Yuer that the Imperial family members have too strong Imperial Luck, making it very difficult to change their fate against Heaven, so he wouldn't do it!"

"In the end, after much consideration, the Mysterious Person temporarily helped Yuer, me, your Zhenbei Army, and Qing Ling change our fate against Heaven, and owes ten more opportunities to change fate against Heaven."

Hearing this, Nangong Wenxin and the others looked up, "So, our changes today are all due to the Little Prince?"

"That's right!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded, "According to Yuer, the Mysterious Person's actions to change our fate, based on our individual circumstances, were to enhance or add Spiritual Roots."

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought of the previous situation, and their breathing instantly became heavy.

Then Shangguan Yuexi continued, "Yuer, I, and your three generals have gained a special Spiritual Root. Three thousand Zhenbei Army soldiers have had one Spiritual Root enhanced to Supreme-grade based on their original condition. Qing Ling has gained a new Supreme-grade Spiritual Root. General Wenxin, if you don't believe it, you can test it now!"

Hearing this, everyone's breathing instantly became even heavier. Supreme-grade Spiritual Root? Special Spiritual Root?

Nangong Wenxin suppressed the shock in his heart and respectfully said to Shangguan Yuexi, "Your Highness, it's not that we don't believe it, it's that we are too eager. May we test it?"

Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly and gently extended her hand, "General Wenxin, please proceed!"

Nangong Wenxin nodded and quickly took out a grand tutor's chair and placed it aside, "If Your Highness is not busy, could you please take a seat and watch with us?"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, and with a flash of her figure, she was already seated in the grand tutor's chair.

Seeing this, Nangong Wenxin glanced at Qin Wuhui, "Human-Grade spirit root measuring stones cannot detect special Spiritual Roots; only Heaven-Grade or higher spirit root measuring stones can. The three of us don't need to test, let the brothers test!"

"It should be so!"

Qin Wuhui nodded and respectfully stood beside Shangguan Yuexi.

Nangong Wenxin looked at the expectant Zhenbei Army soldiers in front of him and then said, "Compose yourselves, line up to test, don't let Her Highness see a joke."

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Nangong Wenxin pointed to the leftmost column, "Zhang Ning, you go first, others follow!"

"Understood!"

Zhang Ning, hearing his name called, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward to the spirit root measuring stone.

He placed his hand on the spirit root measuring stone for barely a second, when a blue light erupted from the bottom of the stone, emitting a water attribute Qi.

The entire spirit root measuring stone was covered in light, clearly indicating a Supreme-grade Water Spiritual Root!

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened.

If it weren't for the Zhenbei Army's strict discipline, they would have all cried out in surprise!

Zhang Ning was one of the Zhenbei Army members with a Medium Grade Spiritual Root, and now that he had a Supreme-grade Spiritual Root, it must be true.

Seeing Zhang Ning's ecstatic and stunned expression, Nangong Wenxin nodded slightly, understanding his feelings perfectly.

He reminded him, "Once you're done testing, quickly step aside, others are waiting to test!"

Zhang Ning snapped out of it, nodded quickly, and returned to stand a little to the right of his original position.

The moment he stepped down, the soldier behind him came up, and it was still Supreme-grade!

Supreme-grade Fire Spiritual Root!

Seeing this, the entire Zhenbei Army no longer doubted, their faces unable to hide their joy, realizing that their Zhenbei Army had truly stumbled upon a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

At this moment, Shangguan Yuexi threw out another spirit root measuring stone, "Together, quickly!"

Nangong Wenxin's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Then, he looked at the first person on the far left, "Wang Ding, you come!"

"Understood!"

Wang Ding nodded and instantly appeared before the spirit root measuring stone. As expected, his High Grade Metal Spiritual Root became a Supreme-grade Metal Spiritual Root, causing him to grin.

But he didn't delay and immediately stepped down.

Before long, everyone except Nangong Wenxin and the two others, and the forty-nine people maintaining the Formation, had been tested, and all were Supreme-grade Spiritual Roots!

Nangong Wenxin took a deep breath and knelt on one knee, "Thank you, My King, for your grace of rebirth, and thank you, Your Highness!"

Immediately after, Qin Wuhui and the others all knelt on one knee, shouting in unison, "Thank you, My King, for your grace of rebirth, and thank you, Your Highness!"

Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly, then her expression turned serious, "Rise. From now on, do your work well and do not disappoint Yuer's intentions."

"We swear to follow our King to the death!"

"We swear to follow our King to the death!"

"We swear to follow our King to the death!"

Three thousand Zhenbei Army soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the space and creating ripples.

If not for the concealing Formation that masked the situation here and prevented the sound from spreading, many people in Qingyou Imperial City would likely be uneasy again.

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, understanding the feelings of these people. Their previous limit of Deity Transformation Realm Peak was forcibly raised to an unknown Realm; for these Cultivators, it truly was a grace of rebirth.

Shangguan Yuexi put away the spirit root measuring stone, "From now on, you all do your own work, remember the four military orders I issued back then, and just await Yuer's command at any time."

"Understood!"

The Zhenbei Army responded in unison.

"General Wenxin, Yuer asked me to tell you that all three of you have Slaughter Spiritual Roots, and you can choose to replace your Cultivation Techniques with better ones later."

"Thank you for informing us, Your Highness!" Nangong Wenxin and the two others nodded and bowed in gratitude.

Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly, "Alright, since the matter here is concluded, I should return!"

"Farewell, Your Highness!"

The Zhenbei Army once again knelt on one knee, watching Shangguan Yuexi depart.
