Protect Our Clan Leader

A pair of young lovers started whispering sweet nothings to each other, their words although immature, were extremely sincere.

However, Shangguan Yunhong on the side was so overwhelmed by their lovey-dovey talk that he broke out in goosebumps, while casting a meaningful glance at his niece Shangguan Lingbo. Who was it that cried as if there was no tomorrow?

Who wiped their tears and insisted on clarifying things face-to-face with the boy Wang Ningxi?

Shangguan Yunhong had risked his life to accompany her to the Wang family's place. And look, just after a few days, these two kids had already become inseparable, sweetly calling each other brother and sister.

It was so cloying, wuuu~ this is clearly cruel to single dogs, isn't this picking on the fact that Shangguan Yunhong has never been in a relationship?

Whereas Wang Shouzhe watched the couple's affectionate behavior with great satisfaction in his heart. All the detours he had taken on his way to the Sacred Land, stopping by the fun places of the Green Luo Guard and creating opportunities for them, hadn't been in vain.

Isn't the problem solved?

As for Shangguan Yunhong, the brazen big fellow who rushed to the Wang family to cause trouble, naturally, Wang Shouzhe was not planning to let him off easily. As the Family Head, using martial power to beat him would be beneath him; he wanted Shangguan Yunhong to experience the taste of being force-fed dog food from time to time.

Maybe after eating enough dog food, he would evolve. Wouldn't it be a meritorious deed if he found a suitable wife in the future?

Under the command of the Sacred Land's flying creatures,

Wang Shouzhe's flying carriage landed on the designated platform.

Due to prior notification, there were already people waiting to greet him at the flying carriage platform.

The foremost among them was a dignified and graceful woman—none other than Wang Lingzhu from the Longzuo Wang family's Ling generation. She was followed by some representatives of the Sacred Land, including Wang Shouzhe's granddaughter Wang Ying Xuan and his grandniece Wang Yingqi.

Wang Lingzhu stepped forward with a charming smile: "Shouzhe, after all these years, you've finally deigned to visit the Lingyun Sacred Ground. In the name of the Sacred Master, I'm your host during your stay in the Sacred Land."

"Shouzhe pays respects to Great Grand Aunt," Wang Shouzhe bowed.

"Wang Ningxi pays respects to Old Ancestor Grand Aunt," Wang Ningxi bowed. Following his rank, a blushing Shangguan Lingbo also bowed in greeting.

On their first meeting, Wang Lingzhu generously handed out gifts to the younger generation.

Afterward, it was time for Wang Ying Xuan and Wang Yingqi to bow to Wang Shouzhe, followed by Wang Ningxi and Lingbo bowing to the two Ying generation grand aunts.

Speaking of Wang Ying Xuan and Wang Yingqi, these two girls from the Ying generation are exceptionally outstanding. Although they were naughty as children, they gradually became talented under Wang Shouzhe's diligent guidance.

Now in the blink of an eye, these two young ladies were already in their eighties or nineties.

Particularly, Wang Ying Xuan, who became a disciple of the Sacred Land's master Jiang Zhencang and received his careful nurturing.

For this disciple he was very pleased with, Jiang Zhencang made a special trip to the Immortal Dynasty and at great expense acquired some incredibly precious Bloodline Ascension Immortal Treasures to secretly boost her Bloodline Talent from a Peak Class B Sky Pride to that of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.

Yes, that was the same time he bought the flagpole of the Seventh Army Flag; the flagpole was actually just a side note.

He also deliberately kept the matter of Wang Ying Xuan's bloodline a secret. If it weren't for her and Zongkun Lixian's clandestine boasting, even Wang Shouzhe would not have known that his granddaughter had become unrivaled.

What Jiang Zhencang was planning, Wang Shouzhe knew only too well.

He clearly intended to properly cultivate a Legitimate Successor to pass down his position of Sacred Master.

The Heritage Codex of the Sacred Land, like those of the Imperial Household, nurtures Energy while continuously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. It can perform Marrow washing on the successor to optimize the Bloodline.

That's the real reason why those with a Bloodline slightly above Sky Pride can inherit the Codex. Because with the Codex, their talents can substantially improve.

But if one reaches the World's Best beforehand and then combines it with the Codex Energy for Marrow washing, their talent can increase even more.

With such enhancement, it's possible to cultivate to the Mid Transcendent Void Realm.

However, under normal circumstances, this approach is not cost-effective. The resource distribution for an "Unparalleled Heavenly Child" to reach "Mid Transcendent Void Realm" is far from as straightforward as simply raising an ordinary Transcendent Void Realm cultivator.

The Sacred Land can't even fill up its Divine Power Territory cultivators, so you can imagine how stretched their total resources are; they absolutely couldn't afford to shoot for the Mid Transcendent Void Realm under the original circumstances.

This is clearly a sign that he's eyeing the Wang family's resources.

Once the facts are established, and your granddaughter Wang Ying Xuan wants to reach the Mid Transcendent Void Realm? If the Sacred Land's resources aren't enough, will the Wang family not support it?

Of course, the Wang family presently doesn't have the strength to support it.

But Jiang Zhencang definitely has high hopes for the future development of the Wang family. That's why he came up with this plan, believing that after a few hundred years, as long as the Wang family tightens their belt, they will be eligible to support Wang Ying Xuan, along with the Sacred Land, in executing the "Transcendent Void Realm cultivator cultivation plan". If that's still not enough, they could ask the Imperial Household for help or act cute at the Immortal Palace or something.

Truly worthy of the title Sacred Master, his scheming is loud and clear.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhencang ultimately underestimated the Wang family's foundation, as well as Wang Shouzhe's planning and expectations for the future. His maneuver played right into Wang Shouzhe's hands.

Jiang Zhencang concealed Wang Ying Xuan's unrivaled status to catch them off guard, and Enlightened One Tianhe had the same idea.

However, Ying Xuan and Li Yao are my daughter and granddaughter, respectively. No matter who takes the position of Sacred Master, it will be all advantages and no drawbacks for the Wang family.

And as for the one who doesn't get chosen, there's no need to worry.

Currently, the Wang family, along with Long Wuji, are actively exploring the Tianji Continent, almost on the verge of breaking through. And that mysterious and unpredictable Intermediate and Advanced Officers Training Academy is estimated to be located near Tianji Continent.

Wang Shouzhe is entirely convinced that as long as he finds the Officer Training Academy, he might manage to get a lead on the Heritage Codex.

Furthermore, Wang Shouzhe is even more confident he can gather enough resources to cultivate multiple Transcendent Void Realm cultivators, and even aim for the Mid Stage or Advanced Stage.

He must be confident in this matter; otherwise, what could he, Ruolan, and Old Ancestor Longyan do?

There are too many people of the first sequence; the pressure in the future is immense.
