Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

An altar had been set up outside the Wuji Hall. Emperor Cangxuan led the way onto the altar, followed by the Crown Prince and a group of court officials from Beixuan.

Behind them are envoys from the three kingdoms.

Emperor Cangxuan glanced behind him and called out, "Crown Prince, Anguo, come to my side."

The Crown Prince and Ying Yufu exchanged a glance, then went to Emperor Cangxuan's side, one on each side.

The envoys from the other three countries all looked deep in thought.

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin said with his hands behind his back, "It seems that Princess Anguo is very favored."

General Xilin asked, "Imperial Preceptor, have you discerned that this Princess Anguo is a true goddess?"

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin was confident and said, "General, rest assured, whether she is a true goddess or a false goddess, she will have to kneel obediently before me."

General Xilin looked surprised. "What do you mean by that, Grand Preceptor?"

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin, with an air of mystery, confidently stated, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, General Xilin stopped asking.

Just then, Emperor Cangxuan stood at the highest position on the altar, with the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu on his left and right respectively.

Emperor Cangxuan looked around and said, "The annual gathering of the four kingdoms' treasures has arrived. As the host, I warmly welcome the envoys from the three kingdoms."

The altar is now erected. Distinguished envoys, please place your national treasures into the keyhole of the altar.

Having said that, Emperor Cangxuan handed the black scimitar to the Crown Prince, "Crown Prince, go."

The prince took the black scimitar and walked towards the edge of the altar.

Then, the prince placed the black scimitar into the corresponding keyhole on the altar.

It happens to be the shape of a scimitar.

The envoys from Xilin and Nanman also stepped forward and placed their national treasures into the corresponding keyholes.

Only the nine stars of Dongchen Kingdom align and swirl in the sky.

Pei Shiliang's face was gloomy.

The Southern Barbarian envoy, Lan Yan, said, "Forty years have passed, and the alignment of the nine stars in Dongchen has never been found. Without the alignment of the nine stars, it is meaningless for the treasures of our three kingdoms to be gathered together."

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin also nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the point."

Pei Shiliang said, "Ninety-nine years ago, the then abbot of Baiyu Temple predicted that the treasures of the four kingdoms would reunite on the centennial anniversary, and at that time, the ancient capital of the kingdom, which had been sealed for thousands of years, would also reappear in the world."

There is still one year left until the prophecy is fulfilled.

The Western Lin National Preceptor asked, "Is Dong Chen confident that he can find the alignment of the nine stars within a year?"

Pei Shiliang remained silent, glancing at Emperor Cangxuan and the Crown Prince, his gaze clearly carrying a hidden meaning.

Ying Yufu looked curiously at the altar above, witnessing for the first time the amazing gathering of people from different countries.

The last time the four countries gathered in Beixuan was four years ago.

She was only twelve years old at the time, and that year, Ying Nanyao said she was too flamboyant and should give way to her cousin from the main branch of the family. Therefore, Ying Nanyao brought Ying Hengzhi into the palace with him.

Four years ago, she had never seen the treasures of the four countries come together.

Going back further, to eight years ago, Ying Nanyao still brought Ying Hengzhi into the palace.

[Host, the array on this altar is quite ingenious.]

Just then, Xiao Dian exclaimed in her mind in surprise.

Ying Yufu grew even more curious and asked, "Little Dian, what's going on?"

Xiao Dian said: "Host, I don't know what will happen to this formation with the Nine Stars Alignment, but I can see that after the three treasures on it are put into the keyhole, the altar sways slightly, faintly corresponding to the Big Dipper in the sky."

If I'm not mistaken, this altar is a lock, and the four treasures of the four kingdoms are the four keys.

When all four keys come together, under specific celestial phenomena, the lock will open, and the altar will reveal some information about the ancient kingdom.

According to them, it should be the capital of an ancient kingdom.

[It's so amazing!]

Ying Yufu was also amazed.

So this is the true meaning of the four kingdoms' treasures.

After descending from the altar, people from various countries left the palace.

Just as Ying Yufu was about to get into the carriage, she was stopped by the Grand Preceptor of Xilin.

"Princess Anguo, please wait a moment."

Ying Yufu turned around, looking at the Grand Preceptor of Xilin with a blank expression, her tone indifferent: "Grand Preceptor of Xilin, is there something you need from me?"

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin chuckled softly, his tone surprisingly warm and affectionate, and said, "Would the Princess of Anguo be so kind as to come and have a chat with this old man?"

Ying Yufu replied solemnly, "No."

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin seemed to have anticipated that she would obey, and walked directly towards the carriage. Upon hearing this, his movements froze.
