Yes, it was thanks to the help of Prince Yong's wife, Zhan Chong!
First came Zuo Tang, then came Wuliangha.
Both cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage advanced after consuming spiritual food, and both succeeded with the help of Prince Yong's wife's battle pet.
What's this?
This is a great tree to shelter under, this is a golden thigh!
What do spiritual practitioners fear most?
The answer, of course, is death.
After all, cultivators are still human, and basically no one in this world is unafraid of death. Of course, there are always exceptions. There are always people who are not afraid of death. But there is no need to categorize such special cases.
This section only discusses the general trend.
Those who cultivate themselves must fight against demons, ferocious beasts, and other cultivators, all of which can easily lead to death.
But no practitioner would be afraid of these things.
Because this is something that every spiritual practitioner must go through. Without experiencing these struggles, how can one know the difficulty of spiritual practice? And how can one strive to be the best?
Besides these, there is one more thing that all practitioners cannot avoid.
Tribulation Transcending!
Once a cultivator achieves the Golden Core stage, they become an anomaly in the world. The laws of Heaven will not allow these anomalies to grow stronger; naturally, they will suppress them.
Thus, the heavenly calamity occurred.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, every advancement in a cultivator's realm is accompanied by a Heavenly Tribulation. Surviving the tribulation allows for advancement; failing to do so results in the destruction of one's soul.
He failed to transcend the tribulation and his soul was scattered.
Tell me, which practitioner wouldn't be afraid?
But now, the battle pet of Prince Yong's wife has devoured the Heavenly Tribulation twice in a row, helping two Nascent Soul peak cultivators break through to the Divine Transformation realm. What does this mean? Anyone who isn't a fool understands.
To safely weather the storm, you need someone to protect you.
This person was, of course, the wife of Prince Yong.
Ordinary cultivators have neither the qualifications nor the possibility of having any interaction with Rong Xi. However, they can choose to pledge allegiance to the Fourth Prince, thus achieving their goal indirectly.
The Taotie got a great deal and also made the Uliangha extremely grateful, making it secretly delighted. However, with an unusually superior air, it didn't waste any words and left in a very aloof manner.
Uriyangkhad stood alone in the ruins, speechless for a long time.
He owes Prince Yong's wife a life!
Those who cultivate themselves should distinguish between gratitude and resentment. However, he was loyal to the new emperor, the Crown Prince, and was ordered to monitor the Fourth Prince and cause him trouble.
If he continues to follow the Crown Prince's instructions and cause trouble for the Fourth Prince, it would undoubtedly be an act of ingratitude.
However, if one does not follow the Crown Prince's instructions, it is considered disloyal.
Loyalty and righteousness—he now stood between loyalty and righteousness. How should he choose? Should he choose loyalty or righteousness?
"Congratulations, Commander!"
Congratulations, Commander!
While Wuliangha was lost in thought and struggling with his thoughts, the eight Nascent Soul captains of the Zichuan City cultivator garrison arrived, and the deputy general Zuo Tang, who had already advanced to the Divine Transformation stage, also arrived.
Regardless of what choice Wuliangha makes, his leap from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage is a cause for celebration.
Nascent Soul cultivators represent high-end combat power, which is incomparable to those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although both Zuo Tang and Wu Liangha, as Nascent Soul cultivators, have some flaws, they can still crush Nascent Soul cultivators. This kind of suppression across a vast realm cannot be compensated for by ordinary talent or aptitude.
Wuliangha stood there stunned on the ruins for a long time, until Zuo Tang and the others congratulated him, and he finally came to his senses.
However, the Fourth Prince did not send anyone to offer his congratulations.
"Commander, are you alright?"
Looking at Wuliangha's slightly pale face, Zuo Tang said softly, "If there are any problems, don't try to tough it out!"
"I'm fine!"
Uriyangkhad managed a weak smile.
How could he possibly be alright? Failing to complete this mission was a grave dereliction of duty for him. Now, he only managed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul stage thanks to the help of Prince Yong's wife and his favorite concubine. What will the new emperor think when this news reaches the capital?
"Commander, what are your plans regarding the Prince?"
Now, when Zuo Tang speaks, it already seems to indicate that she is speaking in favor of the Fourth Prince.
One can get a glimpse of this from the way he addresses the Fourth Prince.
"I...I don't know!"
Uliangha was conflicted. If he had known that his tribulation to become a Nascent Soul cultivator would turn out like this, he would have stood by the Fourth Prince no matter what, instead of opposing him.
Wait a minute, I don't think I did anything to target the Fourth Prince!
Uriyangkhad recalled, and recalled again.
Aside from being distracted during the grand banquet, he didn't do anything that clearly offended the Fourth Prince. Of course, his attitude was one of opposition to the Fourth Prince. But since it wasn't explicitly stated, there was still room for negotiation.
However, he had been kicked out of the grand banquet by the Fourth Prince, which was a very embarrassing thing.
But a real man knows when to yield and when to stand firm!
...
After Uriyangkhapa successfully overcame his tribulation, the Fourth Prince led Su Peisheng and others back to the Yong Prince's Mansion.
The grand banquet continued, but the Fourth Prince was no longer at the banquet. Instead, he returned to the backyard to see Rong Xi.
The fact that the Taotie had devoured the Heavenly Tribulation twice, creating two Nascent Soul cultivators, even made the Fourth Prince unable to remain calm. Originally, he had been thinking of talking to Rong Xi later, but now, he couldn't wait any longer.
When the Fourth Prince arrived at Rongxi's courtyard, he saw Rongxi sitting under a tree in the courtyard, holding a book in her hands.
This is a collection of tales of the strange and unusual, a type of book that Ulanara once enjoyed reading.
Beside Rong Xi, Taotie and Qiongqi lay obediently on the ground. One was a sheep, and the other was a flying tiger. Their auras were not very strong. At first glance, they were just like ordinary monsters.
But who would still think this is an ordinary monster now?
A single sheep can devour a heavenly tribulation.
What about Flying Tiger? It looks just as good as this sheep.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
When the Fourth Prince arrived, the old women Rui and Xiang, along with Xique and Jiangzi, who were guarding the courtyard, all bowed in greeting.
"No need for formalities!"
The Fourth Prince waved his hand, "You may all leave now!"
After dismissing Granny Rui and the others, the Fourth Prince walked towards Rong Xi, who was sitting under a tree. His gaze kept shifting between Taotie and Qiongqi. What kind of monsters were they?
"Your Highness, is something the matter?"
Rong Xi put away the mythical creature in her hand and looked at the Fourth Prince. This question was clearly a rhetorical one.
"My lady, what are these two battle pets of yours?"
The Fourth Prince didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point: "This shouldn't be a sheep demon, right?"
"No, this is a Taotie!"
Rong Xi chuckled and gave the answer, "That's Qiongqi!"
"...?!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's answer, the Fourth Prince was struck dumb, completely stunned.
Taotie, Qiongqi?
What a joke! These are all ferocious beasts from ancient legends, terrifying beings that would surely wreak havoc on the world if they appeared. How could they possibly become my wife's war pets?
