This is an emergency!

Rong Xi's only intention was to get a peaceful night's sleep; she didn't want this accident to happen. The problem is, these kinds of unexpected events are uncontrollable.

"..."

Upon hearing Rong Xi's reply, the Fourth Prince opened his mouth but remained silent, somewhat taken aback. Had he said anything? He simply wanted his wife to put his mind at ease; was that so difficult?

Well, that is indeed a bit difficult.

The Fourth Prince thought about it and guessed that Rong Xi hadn't expected this to happen either.

The problem is, all he wanted was some comfort, nothing more.

"Your Highness, as you know, I have received the inheritance of the ancient Yantian Sect. The cultivation methods of the ancient Yantian Sect are different from the current cultivation methods, and I have no idea what I will encounter."

Without any hesitation, Rong Xi simply attributed everything to the inheritance of the Yantian Sect. In any case, the right to interpret this matter belonged to her; she could interpret it however she wanted, and no one could expose her.

"..."

The Fourth Prince was speechless once again.

What could he say in response to Rong Xi's explanation?

The ancient Yantian Sect's inheritance, or more precisely, the sect leader's inheritance, is strictly confidential. No one knows the exact details; whatever Rong Xi says is the truth.

“My lady, what I mean is that in the future, if your cultivation reaches any critical juncture, you should inform me first.”

The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Rong Xi readily agreed, saying, "Okay!"

When Prince Yong's wife woke up, the notice outside Prince Yong's mansion recruiting doctors was taken down.

However, both Wuliangha and Zuotang were somewhat disturbed upon receiving the news. Wuliangha, in particular, had originally thought that capturing Yan Shiwo would be an opportunity to sever his ties with the Yong Prince's mansion. But now that Rong Xi had awakened, should he still attempt to capture Yan Shiwo?

Although Zuo Tang was determined to curry favor with the Fourth Prince, he would be quite willing to sever this karmic ties if possible. After all, the favors owed by cultivators can sometimes be truly fatal.

The two got together and discussed it for a while, then decided to ask the Fourth Prince.

Upon arriving at Prince Yong's residence, the two quickly met the Fourth Prince.

Without the two men speaking, the Fourth Prince understood their intentions. He smiled slightly and said, "My plan to capture Master Yan is hereby abandoned. However, this matter is still enough to offset the karma between you two and my Prince Yong's Mansion. Heaven and earth bear witness!"

Sever ties with cause and effect, and end worldly affairs.

All cultivators who wish to ascend to the higher realms must take this step.

Because of this situation, many practitioners simply cultivate the path of ruthlessness.

However, individuals like Zuo Tang and Wuliangha cannot cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness; their entanglements are too numerous. As officials of the imperial court, they enjoy the resources bestowed upon them. Their breakthroughs in cultivation create a karmic connection with the Qing Dynasty. This karmic connection won't necessarily affect their ascension, but once they ascend to the Upper Realm, they will still be entangled with the Qing Dynasty there.

"Thank you for your righteousness, Your Highness!"

Uliangha breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but then spoke again, saying, "Your Highness, this matter is now settled. However, Zuo Tang's smooth advancement is due to the great kindness of the Princess Consort. From now on, Zuo Tang will not dare to disobey any orders from Your Highness or the Princess Consort!"

Even though the cause and effect have been severed, Zuo Tang still says the same thing; in fact, this is a pledge of allegiance.

He didn't even try to hide his purpose, and he said these words in front of the Uriyangkhai, who were loyal to the court. Even the Fourth Prince had to admire his decisiveness.

"good!"

The Fourth Prince did not hesitate and responded decisively.

At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that Zuo Tang had sided with the Fourth Prince.

Uriyangkhad witnessed everything, and the shock he felt can be imagined.

Even after leaving Prince Yong's residence, Uriyangkhad was still in a daze.

"Zuo Tang!"

When the two returned to the garrison headquarters, Wuliangha looked at Zuo Tang and finally spoke, "What exactly are you thinking?"

"What do you mean, what are you thinking?"

Zuo Tang looked calmly at Wuliangha, "How else do you need to think about this kind of problem?"

"Since Prince Yong has already stated that our ties with the Prince's Mansion are severed, why are you still trying to get involved? Now, both of us hold titles. Before long, an imperial decree will be issued, and we will eventually have to leave this place!"

Uliangha felt that Zuotang's actions were a self-inflicted trap.

She could have gotten rid of the Fourth Prince, so why did she still go after him?

Even though the Fourth Prince's concubine is exceptional, the problem is that the Fourth Prince and his wife have been exiled to this border town by the court, and their future is uncertain.

They have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, standing at the top of the cultivation world, and are even capable of establishing their own sects.

"hehe……"

Zuo Tang smiled slightly and said loudly, "Is that what you think?"

"Isn't that right?"

"Yes, and no!"

Zuo Tang sighed and said, "We were able to advance to the Nascent Soul realm thanks to the grand feast at the Prince's mansion, and we succeeded in overcoming our tribulations thanks to the Princess's battle pet. Now, we are indeed at the top of the cultivation world, but do you intend to stop here?"

"You mean, you still want to continue?"

Why not continue?

Zuo Tang smiled faintly, "The Upper Realm is truly the starting point of cultivation. In this mortal realm, cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult. Various resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Demonic beasts and ferocious beasts have become stronger. You and I, who are guarding Zichuan, should know this best."

"We have accumulated so much at the Nascent Soul stage, but when the Heavenly Tribulation comes, we still can't stop it."

"Do you think it's possible to overcome the ascension tribulation?"

Zuo Tang looked at Wuliangha, said a few simple words, and left Wuliangha with a question. Wuliangha then fell silent.

He definitely won't be able to overcome the tribulation of ascension.

The tribulation of advancing from Nascent Soul to Deity was enough to drive them to despair. But the Ascension Tribulation was several times, even dozens of times, more powerful than this Deity Transformation Tribulation.

"To serve the imperial court, we—"

Do you think it's possible?

Zuo Tang interrupted Wu Liangha directly, "The imperial court has so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If everyone can rely on the nation's fortune and destiny to overcome their tribulations, do you think the imperial court can withstand it?"

"Furthermore, and most importantly, do you think the imperial court will allow so many Nascent Soul cultivators to ascend?"

Will it?

The answer is obvious: no.

The Qing Dynasty was established and suppressed the world by beings at the Nascent Soul stage. In ordinary times, they enjoyed the court's offerings, but when a great crisis came, they had to step up.

This is cause and effect!

"The imperial court can't help me ascend to immortality, so I'll have to find a backer myself!"

"The favored concubine of Prince Yong's wife is my chance to ascend to immortality. I will not miss such an opportunity!"

Zuo Tang's attitude was very resolute, with a sense of desperation.

Uriyangkha remained silent for a long time. Ascension—he had been thinking about it since the moment he began his cultivation, but could it really be possible?
