Protect Our Clan Leader

Wang Shouzhe broke into a sweat, "You being both an unparalleled heavenly child and the legitimate successor of Master Jiang, it's only normal that you can't find a rival among your peers in the Great Qian Land."

Among peers in the Great Qian Land, probably only Wang Anye could barely outperform her.

However, Anye was the kind of child who lacked competitive spirit, preferring to enjoy a comfortable life with his "wives." He rode the Kunfish around for fun, incidentally picking up heaven and earth treasures for his family, along with all sorts of random items of unclear use, living a carefree life like immortal couples.

On the other hand, Wang Yingxuan's goals had always been clear and steadfast from a young age: first, to vie for the position of Saintess in Lingyun Sacred Land, and second, to train an invincible regiment of female warriors, and then live a life of blood-pumping excitement akin to "Riding Dragon and Cutting Down."

It was really hard to say who would be more formidable in the future.

Shangguan Lingbo's eyes shone with admiration as he looked at Wang Yingxuan, as if he had met his idol.

Wang Ningxi hurriedly blocked his gaze and coughed, "Grand Aunt, with your current strength, you could only find rivals of the same age in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty."

"Uh-huh, Master said that once my training course is completed, he will take me to the Immortal Palace to gain some experience, fight a few formidable opponents to hone my skills, and then take the opportunity to advance to the Purple Abode Realm and conveniently secure the position of the Saintess," Wang Yingxuan's beautiful face brimmed with excitement.

"What exactly is your training course, Grand Aunt?" Wang Ningxi asked curiously.

"Oh, it's just some training pertaining to the competition for the Saint position," Wang Yingxuan sighed helplessly, "Master said that thorough preparation could lead to better results in the competition for the Saint position. Though I think it's unnecessary, Master's orders are hard to disobey."

"Do other candidates for the Saint's competition also undergo training?"

"Not really. Master said that their masters haven't had any experience in the Saint's competition. Who can they blame..."

Wang Shouzhe's expression stiffened. Master Jiang was giving private lessons? He hadn't noticed before, but Master Jiang was pretty scheming. Then, he gave Wang Ningxi a meaningful glance.

Wang Ningxi got the hint and cleverly asked, "Grand Aunt Yingxuan, since my meridians are severed and I can't cultivate, I'm really curious..."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you alone. You mustn't tell anyone else. Let's go to the corner and talk."

"Uh-huh~ Thank you, Grand Aunt. I absolutely won't tell 'outsiders'."

"...," Wang Shouzhe and Wang Lingzhu.

...

As Wang Shouzhe arrived at the Sacred Land.

LuLi Ming Wang's Hall.

The hall, the inheritance site of LuLi Ming Wang lineage, was a temple-like structure made of bronze, with a form that suggested ancient simplicity, connoting a sense of historical weight and aged transformation.

It was named "LuLi Ming Wang's Hall" because of a statue inside that looked as though it was carved from crystal glass.

The aura of LuLi Ming Wang's Hall was extremely restrained, showing no signs of abnormality. From its appearance alone, it looked just like any ordinary ancient building.

The saying "Treasures naturally hide themselves" aptly applies here; whether something is a treasure often can't be discerned from appearances alone but requires actual testing to confirm. This is especially true for places of inheritance.

Ancient organizations often deliberately disguised their inheritance sites to look ordinary to protect them. This way, should anything happen, the inheritance could be protected to some extent.

LuLi Ming Wang's Hall was a classic representation of this scenario.

It was unearthed from ancient ruins by the former Sacred Master of Lingyun land, the true origins of which are untraceable. However, based on the sparse records found within those ruins, it was determined to belong to a very powerful local force from the early days of the near ancient era.

The hall itself, however, wasn't created by that force but had come from an unknown source.

There were no further records beyond that.

Even the then Sacred Master, the True Monarch Lingyun, couldn't ascertain its origin and thus named it "LuLi Ming Wang's Hall" and incorporated it into Sacred Land.

This building itself was a rare treasure and, once connected to the Spirit Veins, its defensive power was exceptionally strong. In times of danger, it could serve as a sanctuary capable of housing dozens of people.

When the True Monarch Lingyun found it, he had initially thought of transforming it into a cave dwelling. It was only by a fortuitous coincidence that he discovered it was an inheritance site.

Since then, the "Liuli Mingwang Hall Lineage" became a part of Lingyun Sacred Land.

One could say it was quite legendary.

Since settling in Liuli Mingwang Peak, Liuli Mingwang Hall had quietly stood at the peak, nurturing generation after generation of Divine Realm Powerhouses. Over six thousand years had passed seemingly in the blink of an eye.

Currently.

In front of Liuli Mingwang Hall, a green-robed, graceful middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, quietly meditating.

This middle-aged man was none other than Master Xuanyao, from the Academic Palace of Purple Abode in Longzuo.

As a lineage founder from Xuanyao Lineage in the Academic Palace of Purple Abode, Master Xuanyao wasn't originally from Longzuo County but from the neighboring Northern Ridge Province. He had come to Longzuo only because the slots for founding a lineage in Northern Ridge had already been filled.

He himself was a disciple of the Liuli Mingwang Hall lineage.

He wasn't a direct disciple, but his talent placed him among the exceptional ones in his generation, and he practiced a top-grade cultivation technique from Liuli Mingwang Hall lineage, second only to the "Glazed Bright King True Method," called "Mountain-opening Swordsmanship." He hoped to eventually advance to the advanced stages of the Purple Abode Realm.
