Another thing that seems so very stupid is .you were the crown prince ,you had access to every cultivation technique since the kingdom was founded, especially the one used by royals which is always a notch better, explain to me why some random dude's(he was a genius, yes, but it's a self created tecnique, and he still lost to your ancestor) cultivation technique is somehow better than all thatHe's not exactly an itinerant, he had 25 years with all the best resources, teachers, everything it's dumb
