Chapter 147: The Crowd of Ignorant People
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Ruize would not be willing to inherit the throne, in the end, Emperor Xuanyuan did not replace the crown prince. Instead, he chose to let go and no longer restrain Xuanyuan Ruize.
This decision gave Xuanyuan Ruize unprecedented freedom and power, and he could be said to be completely obedient to him. This news caused an uproar both in the court and in the harem, and became a hot topic among the people.
At first, people did not know why Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to build a large-scale project outside the imperial city. However, when the young prince moved into the courtyard in the mountains and forests, the mystery was finally solved - it turned out that the courtyard was built specifically for the young prince.
It has been several months since he returned to his own world. Xuanyuan Ruize has completely changed his lazy attitude. He practices every day. In addition to the large amount of training resources provided by Sang Zhi, the little prince has now reached the late stage of refining equipment and is only one step away from building a foundation. As long as he can gain some insights, he can successfully break through to the next stage.
"I really don't know how my senior brothers are doing now? Have they surpassed me far?" The little prince couldn't help but start to miss his senior brothers who were far away in modern times.
The little prince no longer has much attachment to this world, nor does he dare to place too many feelings on the people in this world. After he embarked on the practice of cultivation, he understood the relationship between cause and effect. In addition, in the eyes of cultivators, the lifespan of mortals of just a few decades is too short. For those who practice cultivation, it is just a blink of an eye.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince and others want to see you." Xiao Dezi still followed the little prince to the courtyard in the mountains. At first he just thought that his highness had a fickle personality, but later he discovered something extraordinary: his highness seemed to be an immortal.
After Xiao Dezi followed Xuanyuan Ruize to see the forest, Xuanyuan Ruize did not deliberately hide it from anyone. There were not many people in the courtyard. Apart from Xiao Dezi, there were a dozen secret guards arranged by Emperor Xuanyuan.
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Ruize no longer needed protection from others, he still needed someone to take care of his affairs, and these secret guards were the most trustworthy people.
At first, everyone felt a little confused and overwhelmed about coming to this place, but as time went on, they gradually adapted to life here and began to develop a strong interest in this mysterious forest.
However, what really surprised them happened one day. Someone accidentally saw Xuanyuan Ruize sitting cross-legged in the yard, surrounded by a faint aura. At that moment, they realized that the young prince seemed to be engaged in an amazing cause.
From then on, the little prince no longer concealed his ability. He began to show his special skills in front of everyone - taking out some objects out of thin air. These magical actions stunned people, and at the same time filled them with curiosity and awe of the little prince.
While training in the forest, the young prince showed great strength. Not only could he easily catch all kinds of game, but he could also store them directly in space. This extraordinary ability made him even more mysterious in the eyes of everyone.
"This deer looks good, I wonder if my sister will like it?" The little prince muttered to himself. He remembered that his sister had promised to take him to taste venison, but later she seemed to have forgotten about it. So he decided to catch a deer himself and give it to his sister as a surprise.
The little prince skillfully used his power to trap the beautiful snow deer in place. Then, he put it into his space ring without hesitation. Fortunately, the space ring that Sang Chi gave him had a preservation function, which could ensure the freshness of the food.
The secret guards who were standing by and witnessing all this were frightened by the performance of the young prince. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with astonishment. But due to their professional qualities, they quickly regained their composure. After all, they were all well-trained secret guards, and they could remain calm no matter what the situation.
The little prince happily brought the deer back to the courtyard, "Xiao Dezi, take these to the Empress Dowager!"
The young prince took out some of the fruits he had obtained from the forest. Although he no longer planned to curry favor with the powerful, how could the feelings he had cultivated over a long period of time be false?
"As ordered, Your Highness."
Hearing Xiao Dezi's call, Xuanyuan Ruize felt a little strange.
"Call me Master from now on!"
Since you have decided to practice wholeheartedly, then the title of Your Highness should be abandoned.
When Xiao Dezi packed up the prey prepared by Xuanyuan Ruize and delivered it to the Cining Palace, everyone in the Cining Palace was ecstatic.
"Eunuch, you are finally here. The Empress Dowager has been very concerned about Your Highness these days." Then she looked behind Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi naturally understood what she meant.
"Mammy, the young master said that he would return to the palace to visit the Queen Mother in a few days."
When the old nanny heard Xiao Dezi's new title for Xuanyuan Ruize, she was shocked. She never expected that the little prince would actually give up the throne.
He went to report to the Queen Mother with great concern.
Emperor Xuanyuan also got the news.
"What a young master! Is he really ready to leave the world? Isn't he willing to stay with me for just a few decades?" Emperor Xuanyuan said angrily.
Xiao Yuanzi beside him also knew the whole story. "Your Majesty, the prince must have his own concerns. I think the prince still misses your majesty. Isn't it that he sends people to deliver things to the palace every now and then?"
After hearing what Xiao Yuanzi said, Emperor Xuanyuan felt relieved.
"At least he has some conscience and doesn't ask any questions. That's fine."
Emperor Xuanyuan sighed, turned around and went back to his bedroom to rest.
At this time, Xuanyuan Ruize was practicing hard in the mountains, trying to break through the bottleneck.
For some reason, he just couldn't reach the threshold of foundation building, and always felt that there was something he had overlooked.
In fact, it is difficult for Xuanyuan Ruize. He has to explore his own practice. Although he had Sang Chi's leadership in the beginning, Sang Chi is not around now, and everything depends on himself.
Xuanyuan Ruize had been in seclusion in the mountains for many days, but still failed to break through the foundation-building stage. He decided to go down the mountain to look for opportunities, perhaps he could gain some enlightenment in the secular world.
One day, Xiao Dezi came to report, "Sir, the eldest prince and his men are here."
Thinking of my brothers, I think it’s time to meet them. I haven’t seen them for a long time since I handed over all the affairs in my hands!
I was so focused on my spiritual practice that I seemed to have ignored them all.
"Let them in!"
The little prince stood alone in the courtyard, and suddenly he had an epiphany: "Practice is like controlling water, it requires a combination of blocking and dredging. I was too focused on the technique, but neglected the cultivation of my state of mind."
His state of mind became clearer and his cultivation improved greatly. Finally, the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards Xuanyuan Ruize, and Xuanyuan Ruize felt that he was about to break through.
