Feeling unaccustomed to the deference shown by the two people in front of him, Zhao Huai felt uneasy too.

He had met disciples of the Immortal Sect before.

The confrontation high above the capital city with the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect was still fresh in his mind.

That gatekeeper was not as easy to talk to as the two in front of him.

“Young master, the cultivation technique we practice in Exquisite Palace is called ‘Exquisite Nine Spheres.’ If you practice with me, even reaching the Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm will be as easy as flipping your hand, and facing heavenly tribulations, you will still have a chance of winning,” said Qiu Yueqing, her beautiful eyes filled with sincerity when she said this.

Her words were clear and simple.

Zhao Huai needs her, she needs him, and both can reap many benefits, even challenging the ultimate realm.

In Qiu Yueqing’s heart, she had already considered Zhao Huai to be someone of the same kind as her.

The women of Exquisite Palace mostly had not descended from the Spiritual Mountains, they were practically blank when it came to feelings between men and women. Their thoughts on this were simple, without many twists and turns.

So, the words they spoke, were often this straightforward.

The next moment, Gu Tianji, the First Disciple of the Eternal Taoist Temple, heard these words, immediately stood up and loudly advised:

“Be careful, Sir! Don’t fall for it!”

“These women of the Exquisite Palace are the most deceitful! Their cultivation techniques are dual cultivation techniques that will drain you. Don’t be beguiled by their feminine charm!”

“And I am the First Disciple of the Eternal Taoist Temple. With our temple’s support, you will be assuredly safe. If you join our sect, we will bestow upon you the Demon-Slaying Sword, the Five Elements Jade Seal, and other spiritual treasures to protect you. Not only that, our temple will protect you thoroughly, cultivate together, then enjoy the perpetuation of thousands of temples, and attain enlightenment!”

Gu Tianji began speaking calmly, becoming more and more excited as he stated the various benefits of his temple.

“Follow me, Exquisite Palace can also ensure your safety, and our thousands of female disciples are not just for show.”

“Follow me, our temple has ginseng fruit, a single one is worth a hundred years of cultivation, an absolute treasure!”

“Exquisite Palace has thousands of female disciples, all of them will listen to the young master’s orders, free and unrestrained.”

“What’s so great about the cultivation techniques of Exquisite Palace? You want to learn the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect technique I just used? I’ll teach you right away!”

“Exquisite Nine Spheres can greatly increase the speed of cultivation. If the young master wants to practice it, I can teach it too!”

Gu Tianji and Qiu Yueqing kept trading words, a strong sense of antagonism was present between the two.

It was a case of a tit for tat.

The atmosphere was increasingly becoming more aggressive.

Many people were present at the scene, including disciples of the Immortal

Yearning Sect, former minister of Yan Country Song Heqing, the Raven Sect’s Holy Maiden Yin Nanyu, Elder Mu of the Immortal Yearning Sect, True Disciple Chu Longxiang, and others.

Looking at the argument unfolding before them, they were all dumbfounded, their minds going blank.

Could it be wrong?

Has there been a dispute among the immortals about the allegiance of the Crown Prince of Yan Country?

All gazes were on Zhao Huai. The conditions proposed by the Immortal Sect were too tempting. Regardless of which one, it would make one’s heart beat faster.

Zhao Huai, who was at the centre of it all, was still at a loss.

He had no idea why both sides wanted him to join them.

Just because of his identity as the Crown Prince of Yan Country?

The Immortal Sect is above the mortal world, they shouldn’t stoop to curry favor with a mortal monarchy, should they?

Thinking about it, Zhao Huai looked confused.

Your Highness must be curious,” Song Heqing said, looking at his expression, stroking his white beard, and slowly spoke with a smile.

He’s right.” Zhao Huai said helplessly.

“Hehehe.”

With a soft chuckle, Song Heqing explained, “At the founding of Yan Country,

Daoism was the state religion, and the Eternal Taoist Temple was the head of Daoism. Now that the Royal Crown Prince has awakened the national fortune, it is only natural for people from the Taoist temple to ensure Your Highness’s safety and win Your Highness’s favour.”

“So, it’s like that,” said Zhao Huai as realization dawned on him. He nodded his head in understanding.

No wonder the people from the Taoist temple came to find him. So there was this relationship at play.

Elder Mu asked on the side, “Young friend, have you not realised the impact of the national fortune of Yan Country on the Immortal Sect?”

Zhao Huai thought about it but couldn’t make heads or tails of it, so he could only ask for enlightenment.

“Would you please elaborate?”

Elder Mu gave a faint smile and said, “The prosperity and strength of the Immortal Sect depend on the perpetuation of temples. However, the perpetuation comes from the mortal monarchy, with a small portion coming from among the people, but mostly it depends on the mortal monarchy. Do you understand that, young friend?”

Hearing this, Zhao Huai began to think.

He knew very well that the perpetuation could amass national fortune.

If the prosperity of the Immortal Sect depends on the perpetuation, isn’t it also tied to the national fortune?

Since he was the Crown Prince of Yan Country, carrying the national fortune of Yan, it attracted the attention of the Immortal Sect.

But apart from the national fortune of Yan Country, Xia Country also had its national fortune.

Previously, most of the Immortal Sects lay low in the human world because of the stable mortal world and they weren’t able to garner perpetuation.

And due to the rule that they couldn’t interfere with the mortal affairs, they fell silent.

Now that the national fortune of Yan Country has been awakened, does it mean that the status quo has been broken?

Once the status quo is broken, it means there could be a reshuffling of power in the human world. Is that why these Immortal Sects have become active?

In some sense, having an Immortal Sect supporting him also means having one opposing him.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huai finally understood.

“Can perpetuation increase a cultivator’s strength?” Zhao Huai asked uncertainly.

Elder Mu replied, “To some extent, indeed, it can. But one needs to reach a very high realm.”

Zhao Huai nodded his head.

His Dragon-shaking Heavenly Mandate would now allow him to draw in perpetuation. It seemed that perpetuation would have a considerable effect on him in the future..
