Li Ye was just about to continue with his calculations.
But suddenly, he felt his divine sense waver, emanating from the depths of his heart, followed by an unending fatigue.
His vision darkened.
The surrounding star curtain dissipated.
Even the Sun and Moon Ring lost its spiritual light and fell to the ground with a "ding-dang."
"..."
"Have all my spiritual powers actually been exhausted?"
Li Ye was utterly incredulous.
He had a vast reservoir of spiritual power, probably more than the average Nascent Soul cultivator, yet now it was completely empty, not a drop left.
To think this thing only ran for a moment before consuming so much spiritual power, doesn't this mean I'd need a vast amount of Spirit Stones to actually deduce a result?
Li Ye suddenly realized, he might have just found the purpose of earning Spirit Stones—this was truly a great consumer of Spirit Stones.
"Whew."
He let out a long breath.
He began to absorb spiritual power, preparing to welcome the arriving fat sheep… oh no, I mean, the Princes.
He could already see a chariot pulled by Flood Dragons flying across the sky towards this place.
The chariot was crafted entirely of pure Spiritual Gold, carved with numerous sculptures, possibly mere luxurious decoration, yet not appearing too vulgar, instead, majestic.
"Tsk."
He could see at a glance that the dragon chariot's "symbolic meaning" overshadowed its practical use, like a display of power.
Honestly, if any disciple did this, they would likely be mocked by other sects' members for a millennium to come—but in the special power structure of the Dynasty, it seemed normal.
Special, dignified.
The materials True Man Suyu had given to Li Ye had mentioned, the princes or emperors of the Yunxi Dynasty were required to lead by example, often wearing shining armor to ensure they were the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.
"So their Taoist Techniques are closer to Body Forging and martial ways, with fewer pure divine techniques and magic, resulting in a greater need for food."
"Interesting."
Li Ye instantly realized what to use to tempt them.
The food easily obtainable in the Tao Furnace Realm might be quite important in the Yunxi Dynasty.
Though he wasn't sure if the Ministry of Agriculture on the other side could provide him any surprises.
...
Meanwhile.
The dragon chariot drawn by Flood Dragons had already reached the island near Ruoquan Island, a place specifically for welcoming guests.
From the dragon chariot, four people disembarked: three men and one woman, each differing in appearance, height, and temperament.
Yet they could all be described as handsome men and spirited women.
Although they were all princes and princesses, there was a clear back-and-forth tide between them, not even bothering to feign harmony, exchanging only glances without words after disembarking.
As they stepped down, they were immediately surrounded by a circle of guards and attendants, making the group of just four people appear like a marching army.
They divided into four distinct teams.
The armor on those guards and the weapons in their hands were practically glowing, as if polished before disembarking, showcasing a "majestic" parade.
"Honored guests."
The Qingqiu Fox, Hu Luo, already in character, stepped forward.
With a smile, he said, "Welcome to Ruoquan Island in the East Pole Yang Sea of the Four Seasons Sect. I've come on behalf of my master, True Man Lingye, to greet you."
"Please, follow me."
He shot a glance at the sea of guards and soldiers, a smile evident on his lips.
Honestly, although it was his first time hosting guests from another world, he couldn't understand why these people couldn't even maintain a façade.
In any family, regardless of internal discord, they would present a united front to outsiders, at least avoiding blatant antagonism, unlike this group.
He genuinely doubted if these people could sustain a Dynasty, unable to maintain even the slightest semblance.
While he pondered.
A rather tall young man spoke:
"Many thanks, Yang Ke Dao You."
This individual clearly wore more luxurious attire than the others, possessing a steadier demeanor.
He first left his "parade team," then glanced at his siblings, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the other three finally stepped forward one after another.
They followed silently behind Hu Luo.
Even Hu Luo found this situation peculiar—were these people really the princes and princesses backed by Divinity Transformation and nurtured by the world's riches?
Why were they all numb like this?
Even if Foxes were puzzled, they still maintained their apparent propriety.
Leading the way, he began introductions:
"You all have arrived at just the right time."
"Though this place seems a little chaotic, this is the Dao Field of True Man Lingye. A few days ago, the True Man received a seal reward from a Divinity Transformation Taoist, and also fostered and helped numerous Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants to transform."
"That Immortal Peak over there is where the Four Seasons Sect specially established a mountain gate to take in disciples for True Man Lingye."
At this, he paused.
Originally, he intended to give them the opportunity to ask questions.
But these few remained silent, making Hu Luo feel like he was performing a one-man show, somewhat awkward.
Yet he grew increasingly curious.
If these princes and princesses were like this, seeking help with the Four Seasons Sect might prove challenging, let alone avoiding provoking them.
Was the emperor of the Yunxi Dynasty… too old and senile?
