Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 765: Chapter 4: My Great Heavenly Proud Wife (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

It was a palm-sized bronze bell, adorned with complex inscriptions and a ferociously carved beast on its surface, giving it a delicate yet profound appearance.

“Indeed, it is the Divine Treasure ‘Soul-shaking Bell’!” The Commandery Prince from Kang Province, Kang, nodded satisfactorily while casting a rare pleasant smile and said, “Good brother, you are indeed reliable. Even in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, this is a rare artifact. I was actually worried that you’d go in vain.”

“As long as your highness is satisfied.”

Gong Yang Ce chuckled.

One must know that the Soul-shaking Bell was a Divine Spiritual Treasure. The heritage of artifact refining within the Great Qian Land wasn’t complete. Even the Gongye Clan, which was best at artifact refining, only mastered a few formulas for crafting Divine Spiritual Treasures. The method to craft this Soul-shaking Bell was only known to few in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty.

To access this, he had to make a lot of efforts. First, he found a renowned Master Refiner from the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty and persuaded him to craft the Soul-shaking Bell for him, which wasn’t easy. Then, due to the lack of raw materials, he had to collect them himself.

After barely gathering all the materials and waiting for twenty years, the bell was finally crafted by the Master Refiner.

Fortunately, all the efforts paid off.

“The chimes of the Soul-shaking Bell can vibrate a Divine Soul, especially effective against extra-dimensional demons with a weak Divine Soul Power.” Kang, stroking the inscription on the bell surface seemed fascinated, “With this, I can secure great achievements on the battlefield of the outer realms, which will further ensure my chances of becoming the Emperor’s son.”

The so-called “Battle for the Emperor’s Son” is indeed a battle for people’s hearts.

Unlike arena fights, where the strength of martial power solely determines the victor, it needs a comprehensive assessment of the qualifications of a future Emperor’s Son from cultivation to the abode realm, charisma, governance, military leadership, and many aspects of past performance.

The more exceptional he performs, the more people will support him. During the clan conference to decide the Emperor’s Son, there is a chance that he will receive more votes.

The process is complicated.

In each battle for the Emperor’s Son, the candidates have to go through a long process of wrestling before the final winner is decided.

Right now, he has already secured a considerable advantage in controlling the court’s affairs, but he can’t ignore the military achievements as the Great Qian Land was established on martial prowess.

If he can make extraordinary contributions on the battlefield of the outer realms, it would surely increase his standings in the eyes of other clans, especially the Princes, and would make it easier for him to earn their approval.

“This Soul-shaking Bell is a Divine Spiritual Treasure that requires a divine soul to refine and control.” Gong Yang Ce reminded Kang, “You should accept its recognition first.”

“Alright.”

Without hesitation, Kang started to refine the “Soul-shaking Bell”.

Normally, only Divine Realm Powerhouse could control the Divine Spiritual Treasure.

However, Kang was a Great Heavenly Proud user, his bloodline was superior to an ordinary Purple Abode Realm powerhouse, and his Divine Soul Power was significantly stronger than an ordinary Purple Abode Realm powerhouse. He could just manage it by fully utilizing his Bloodline Power.

Nevertheless, as the Divine Spiritual Treasure was, indeed, a divine treasure, it had a certain level of spirituality. Kang failed miserably in refining it independently.

In the end, Gong Yang Ce lent a hand, and both of them activated their bloodlines, using the Power of Dharma shadow to suppress the Soul-shaking Bell, and finally succeeded in refining it.

After a successful refining, the Soul-shaking Bell transformed into a golden light and disappeared into Kang’s forehead.

“Phew~ So close.” Kang released a long breath, “To control a Divine Spiritual Treasure with only the Purple Abode Realm, it indeed is a bit overwhelming.”

Gong Yang Ce also breathed a sigh of relief after removing the Dharma Shadow.

Having completed the primary task and relaxing, he remembered his unpleasant parting with Long Wuji: “Speaking of which, has your Royal Uncle always been like this?”

He told Kang about his sour encounter with Long Wuji.

Hearing this, Kang couldn’t help but sigh, “The Royal Uncle indeed always behaves like this. He’s stubborn, and no advice or persuasion works on him.”

“Even your highness can’t persuade him?” Gong Yang Ce asked, not really convinced.

“He’s unpersuadable.” Kang looked helpless, “Considering you as my own brother, let me tell you the truth. I don’t have much rapport with my Royal Uncle. The fact that he’s willing to support me is only because of our Old Ancestor’s demand. We merely met a few times.”

In the past, the Royal Uncle fell out with his family and left to Longzuo County due to his intransigent character. Even the Sixth Ancestor and the Old Ancestor were often at their wit’s end with him. Expecting Kang to be capable of persuading the Royal Uncle was nothing but an illusion.

“Even so, he has been pretty disrespectful towards you.” Gong Yang Ce was still angered recollecting the stale map, “I am one of the Quasi Sacred Sons, and you are the worthy prince, the established candidate for the Quasi Emperor’s Son, most likely to become the Emperor’s Son and take the throne. The way he behaves is way too high-handed.”

“Brother, there’s something you don’t know.” Kang wasn’t surprised, and explained to Gong Yang Ce, “The Royal Uncle’s mother is from the direct line of the An Duke of the Zhao Clan. The Zhao Clan wields immense influence in the court today. Being a Second Rate Supremacy himself and the favorite in front of the Old Ancestor, he naturally holds a firm stand.”
