There is still heart and intention.
"Hongye's talent is indeed not outstanding, and it's very difficult to advance to the Supreme Unity level, so we must find another way." Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "With the foundation of the Great Tang Empire, I am confident in elevating Hongye to the True Monarch stage."
Actually, the foundation of the Great Tang is not enough.
There's also the investment from the Inner Devil Clan.
Plus the karma from Bodhisattva Guanyin.
With these three combined, Ji Changsheng is confident in helping Ying Hongye to upgrade, reaching the peak of the True Monarch stage.
And then continue to help Hongye level up.
Even so, whether Ying Hongye can pass the minimum test of the Inner Devil Tribulation of the Supreme Unity threshold is still a question.
If these resources were used to nurture Old Devil Yu, Xiao Yu would probably have reached Supreme Unity long ago.
But Ji Changsheng truly favors females over males!
