The Fourth Prince channeled his spiritual power into the array plate, and a series of illusory talismans appeared above it, eventually connecting to form a void array gate.
This array gate is illusory and invisible, but strangely, the other side of the array gate is real.
The Fourth Prince, holding the array plate, stepped into the void array gate.
As the Fourth Prince entered the array gate, the gate instantly vanished, leaving no trace inside the room, not even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.
...
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Su Peisheng returned in haste and relayed the Fourth Prince's words to Rong Xi.
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know where Your Highness is going?"
"Reporting to Madam, this servant knows nothing! Your Highness did not instruct us!"
Su Peisheng spoke cautiously, "Over the years, Master has often gone out to do things on his own. Sometimes he takes me with him, and sometimes he goes alone."
"However, please rest assured, Madam, the master's safety should be assured."
Su Peisheng didn't know exactly where the Fourth Prince had gone, but he could guess a little. Over the years, the Fourth Prince had frequently left alone. Most of the time, when the Fourth Prince returned, his strength had significantly improved.
If he wasn't mistaken, his master must have obtained an extraordinary opportunity.
"That's good!"
Rong Xi wasn't worried about the Fourth Prince's safety. Given his shrewdness, he would certainly not put himself in danger if he left alone.
Safety and such?
This doesn't need to be considered.
Rong Xi was now wondering how long it would take for the Fourth Prince to return.
As the saying goes, when the tiger is away, the monkey is king.
Now that the Yong Prince's Mansion has no Fourth Prince, it is right for Rong Xi to become the First Prince.
"Su Peisheng, give the order that the Prince's Mansion will be closed to visitors for the time being."
Although Rong Xi is now the person in charge of the Yong Prince's Mansion, she doesn't want to waste her time on these trivial matters. While the Fourth Prince is away, she should reopen the Ancient Yantian Sect.
"yes!"
Su Peisheng was slightly taken aback, but since the Fourth Prince had given the order, the Princess Consort was in charge of all matters in the Prince's residence during this period. Since the Princess Consort wanted to close the gates to guests, he would certainly comply and pass on the order.
Su Peisheng quickly took his leave to convey Rong Xi's instructions.
After Su Peisheng left, Rong Xi called Xique in and said, "Xique, go quickly and call Granny Rui, Granny Xiang and Jiang Zi here. Our Yantian Sect's second sect meeting is about to begin!"
"yes!"
Magpie was also delighted to hear Rong Xi's words.
Before long, Granny Rui, Granny Xiang, and Jiang Zi were summoned by the magpie.
The door was closed, and Taotie and Qiongqi guarded it, preventing anyone from spying on them in the dark.
Although the Blood God Guard, who was secretly protecting her, was still there, she was unfortunately controlled by Qiongqi's illusion magic. What she saw and heard was what Qiongqi wanted her to see.
Rong Xi didn't plan to let the Fourth Prince know about the reopening of the Yantian Sect too early.
The Yantian Sect is an ancient sect with a long history. The Xiaoyao Sect's covetousness of her inheritance is not a fleeting interest, but a relentless pursuit.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect suffered a major setback in this matter, losing a holy maiden and the pawns they had planted in Kangxi's harem.
But a behemoth like the Free and Unfettered Sect wouldn't give up so easily.
Rong Xi held the name of the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyaozi, in her hand, but she couldn't bring this up. Alternatively, she could try to get Xiaoyaozi into the Yantian Sect as a disciple.
This time, the sect meeting of Yantian Sect was to discuss the issue of what to do with Xiaoyaozi.
Poor Xiaoyaozi, an eighth-level Loose Immortal, should have stood at the pinnacle of cultivation in the mortal realm, invincible. But his luck ran out; he encountered Rong Xi, who had subdued the Taotie, and became a prisoner. Now, Rong Xi has subdued the Qiongqi, so Xiaoyaozi has even less chance of turning the tide.
"Sect Master, the Xiaoyao Sect inherited the legacy of our Yantian Sect, and Xiaoyaozi should rightfully be a member of our sect."
Granny Rui spoke in a deep voice.
"Sect Master, this Xiaoyaozi is now a Loose Immortal at the eighth level. What if he doesn't heed the summons? What should we do...?"
Granny Xiang, however, wore a serious expression, feeling that letting Xiaoyaozi join the Yantian Sect was somewhat unreliable. A powerful cultivator at the eighth level of the Loose Immortal realm was the strongest existence she knew. Would such a person truly be content to be an ordinary disciple in the Yantian Sect?
"That is indeed a problem!"
Rong Xi was also worried about this.
The fact that Xiaoyaozi was able to found the Xiaoyao Sect makes him a figure of unparalleled talent and ambition. If he hadn't received incomplete inheritance, he would have ascended to the Upper Realm long ago, and perhaps even made a name for himself there.
"That's all for today's meeting. I need to check something first!"
The Free and Unfettered Sect has a long history, dating back to the Warring States period. After all these years, whether any members of the Free and Unfettered Sect have ascended to the upper realms is a question that must be thoroughly investigated.
When Xiaoyaozi encountered problems in his cultivation, he sealed himself off. The subsequent development of the Xiaoyao Sect had little to do with him.
"Sect Master, what do you want to investigate? We can investigate!"
Granny Rui quickly spoke up.
She and Granny Xiang were taken in by Rong Xi into the Yantian Sect, and their current status is sect steward. Although the Yantian Sect has no other disciples for the time being, they are well aware that if it weren't for their relationship with Rong Xi, and if the Yantian Sect hadn't yet established itself as a major sect, it would be questionable whether they could even enter the Yantian Sect at all.
Therefore, we must perform!
Let the princess consort know that they are still very useful.
"Go and investigate whether anyone from the Free and Unfettered Sect has ascended to the Upper Realm since its founding, and if so, how many!"
Even Xiaoyaozi, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, never ascended to immortality because his cultivation method was incomplete. So, did anyone after him ascend to immortality?
This is a very important question.
If none of the members of the Free and Unfettered Sect have ascended to immortality, it means that there must be many wandering immortals within the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Ordinary cultivators, once they reach a certain level of cultivation, either ascend to immortality or completely vanish into nothingness.
However, the situation may not be the same for the Free and Unfettered Sect. With so many years of accumulation, the Free and Unfettered Sect probably has wandering immortals that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
This is a tremendous foundation!
Of course, if planned properly, this foundation could become the foundation of her Yantian Sect.
Rong Xi has a big heart!
The Free and Unfettered Sect wanted to seize the sect leader's inheritance from her Yantian Sect, while she also wanted to incorporate the entire Free and Unfettered Sect into the Yantian Sect. After all, the Free and Unfettered Sect's inheritance was only a small part of the Yantian Sect's inheritance.
"Sect Master, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult to investigate!"
Granny Xiang's expression was serious. "The Xiaoyao Sect has a very long history, having witnessed many dynastic changes. The Xiaoyao Sect has always been one to keep a low profile. To the best of my knowledge, there is no record of the Xiaoyao Sect ever holding any ascension ceremony!"
The Ascension Ceremony is when a cultivator transcends tribulation and ascends to immortality. Friends are invited to witness the ceremony, and those who participate may receive a trace of the blessings of the immortals.
