What kind of monster is it?
A sheep, okay, this is a sheep demon!
"Commander, what about us...?"
A Nascent Soul captain standing beside Uriyangkhai spoke hesitantly. As a trusted subordinate of Uriyangkhai, he naturally knew the mission Uriyangkhai bore. Previously, they had all been loyal to the newly enthroned emperor, the Crown Prince. But now, having witnessed this terrifying sheep demon, he was terrified!
He didn't know what Uriyangkha was thinking, but in his heart, he dared not be an enemy of the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Princess Consort has two battle pet monsters by her side: a sheep and a flying tiger.
This situation was learned by Wuliangha and the others not long after Rong Xi arrived in Zichuan City. It wasn't surprising that cultivators controlled demonic beasts as battle pets.
But now, who would dare to look at this wife of Prince Yong?
"Don't panic!"
Uriyangkha said in a deep voice, "First, send the message back to the capital and report to the Emperor, then we can talk about other things!"
At this moment, Wuliangha felt that the capital was probably unaware that Rong Xi possessed such a terrifying demonic beast. Otherwise, the Fourth Prince would never have been sent to guard the frontier and expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
With such ferocious monsters around, the demons in Zichuan City are nothing but chickens and dogs.
"Su Peisheng, take some men and rescue General Zuo Tang!"
As Wuliangha pondered how to deal with this unexpected situation, he overlooked Zuotang, who had fainted on the mountain.
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince naturally sent Su Peisheng away immediately.
Although Zuo Tang was saved by his wife's favorite war pet, the Fourth Prince had no intention of using this favor to seek repayment. To win Zuo Tang over, he needed to show sincerity.
Zuo Tang's situation is actually not that bad.
The Taotie devoured the thunderclouds of the Six-Nine Great Calamity and also seized Zuo Tang's destiny, but the Taotie did not go too far and left Zuo Tang with some of its destiny.
With the blessing of creation, Zuo Tang's physical injuries from his tribulation were quickly healed, and his cultivation became more solid.
Just as Su Peisheng led his men up the mountain, Zuo Tang woke up.
"General Zuo Tang, here is a Guiyi Pill. Please take it and use it to treat your injuries!"
Su Peisheng stepped forward, and without saying a word, took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it to Zuo Tang.
Guiyi Dan is truly a wonderful product for treating physical injuries.
For cultivators, as long as they have a breath left, taking the Guiyi Pill will restore all their injuries.
The only drawback is that Guiyi Dan has very little effect on meridian injuries, and has absolutely no effect on soul injuries.
"Thank you for your help, Eunuch Su. My injuries have healed!"
Although he didn't need the Guiyi Pill and had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, Zuo Tang still treated Su Peisheng with great respect. After all, Su Peisheng was a servant of the Fourth Prince and a trusted confidant of him.
Furthermore, he was able to successfully overcome the tribulation and save his life thanks to the Fourth Prince's concubine's war pet.
"Is that so? Congratulations, General Zuo Tang! Your ennoblement is just around the corner!"
Su Peisheng put away the jade bottle in his hand and bowed to Zuo Tang to offer his congratulations.
Although Zuo Tang looks quite disheveled now, and his clothes are tattered, his injuries have healed, and the aura of the Nascent Soul stage he releases is relatively stable. This means that Zuo Tang has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Reaching the Nascent Soul realm, one truly stands at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
In the mortal realm, after reaching the Divine Transformation stage, there are only two realms: Tribulation Transcending and Mahayana. Any cultivator who has successfully reached the Divine Transformation stage can trigger the Immortal Tribulation. Once they have passed the Immortal Tribulation, they can ascend to the Upper Realm.
This is the ultimate path of spiritual practice that countless practitioners dream of.
However, some people will not choose to undergo tribulation; they will delay until the very end. After all, reaching the Nascent Soul stage means becoming the uncrowned king of this mortal realm, high above all others.
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
While transcending tribulations to become an immortal certainly allows one to ascend to the upper realm, what they will face there remains unknown. In the mortal world, the strong are revered, and the upper realm will undoubtedly be the same.
Newly ascended immortals are definitely the weakest, and they have to repeat the path of cultivation and ascension. Needless to say, the hardships involved are immense, and if the upper realm is not peaceful, they might lose their lives.
Immortals live forever, but they are not immortal.
"May the Lady of the Blessed Wife protect us!"
Zuo Tang knew that Taotie was Rong Xi's battle pet, but he never knew that this battle pet was so powerful. A sheep demon, is it really a sheep demon?
Unfortunately, he was destined never to get an answer to this question.
The Taotie has not grown up yet, and its appearance is very different from that of a mature Taotie.
Moreover, it's hard for anyone with a normal brain to imagine that the Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, would actually become a battle pet!
"The Princess Consort is so kind-hearted!"
Su Peisheng chuckled.
Su Peisheng was aware of Rong Xi's methods. However, the fact that the Princess Consort's cultivation was now completely destroyed was rather worrying. If the Princess Consort's lifespan ended, this terrifyingly powerful battle pet would inevitably leave. What would happen then?
Thinking of this, Su Peisheng's smile became somewhat unnatural.
Zuo Tang is now a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, with unparalleled spiritual power. Naturally, she could not hide the changes in Su Peisheng's smile from her observation.
"Eunuch Su, is there something amiss?"
Zuo Tang gazed intently at Su Peisheng, "If there are any problems, please tell me frankly, Father-in-law! If Zuo Tang can help, I will certainly not stand idly by!"
Having witnessed the terrifying scene of the Taotie devouring the lightning tribulation, Zuo Tang had made up her mind to cling to the Fourth Prince's coattails. Of course, her move towards the Fourth Prince was actually due to his wife.
"Now is not the time to talk. If General Zuo Tang is willing, he can come to the Prince's residence for a chat when he has some free time later!"
Su Peisheng wanted to tell Zuo Tang everything, but without the Fourth Prince's consent, he dared not act on his own.
"Please inform His Highness that Zuo Tang will follow His Highness's lead in everything!"
So what if one reaches the Nascent Soul stage?
Now that Zuo Tang has become a Nascent Soul cultivator, he understands even more how terrifying the tribulation he faced was. If it weren't for that demonic beast's intervention, he would definitely be reduced to ashes by now.
Those who cultivate themselves believe in cause and effect.
Repay kindness with kindness, and avenge wrongs with revenge; clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.
If one repays kindness with enmity, when the celestial tribulation arrives and inner demons descend, one will be reduced to ashes.
"Definitely, definitely!"
Su Peisheng smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Uriyangkhad, having regained his senses, also arrived with his men.
"Brother Zuo, congratulations!"
Wuliangha bowed to Zuo Tang in congratulations, his face beaming with joy, "Brother Zuo, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
He was also a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, but the opportunity he needed to advance to the Divine Transformation stage remained elusive.
The Uriyangkhai had pinned their hopes on this spiritual feast, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Meanwhile, the previously suppressed deputy general, Zuo Tang, unexpectedly found an opportunity and even broke through to a higher level!
Uriyangkha, it breaks my heart!
