Di Ao always scolded Qiao Sen as a useless person, not to deliberately insult her, but to state a fact—Qiao Sen had extremely poor aptitude, with no cultivation talent whatsoever.
This wasn't Qiao Sen's fault; every emperor throughout history was the same, and this wasn't unique to the Chu Kingdom.
To prevent the emperor from being absorbed in cultivation and neglecting state affairs, at the beginning, when selecting an heir, they would choose those without cultivation talent or those who weren't interested in cultivation from the royal descendants.
Over time, through such selection, most emperors turned out to be people without talent; even if they wanted to cultivate, they had no choice but to honestly be emperors.
Qiao Sen inherently lacked talent and had no interest in cultivation, so she has only reached a minor achievement in the Qi Refining stage until now.
