Protect Our Clan Leader

“This kind of level nine Heritage Crystal Core is somewhat similar to our Divine Power Inheritance Stone combined with the Demonic Clan’s crystal core, but compared to the diversity of our Mysterious Energy bloodline, its attribute is extremely singular, being purely energy-based Mysterious Energy.”

“Hmm~~ The quality and attributes of Energy Mysterious Energy are somewhat akin to the more popular, standard cultivation method in the Divine Martial World, [Mysterious Origin Technique].”

At the mention of the Mysterious Origin Technique, Wang Shouzhe’s thoughts fluttered, filled with emotion.

Back then, the only inheritance cultivation technique of the Wang family was the middle-grade cultivation technique [Mysterious Origin Technique], which was still lacking the subsequent parts for cultivation to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Wang Shouzhe himself cultivated with the Mysterious Origin Technique at the time, honing it for a long period.

This method’s cultivated Mysterious Energy battle power was quite ordinary, lacking any special attributes, but its strengths were apparent—greater adaptability, allowing anyone with bloodline potential to cultivate.

“Here is another level eleven [Atana Inheritance Crystal].” Wang Anye continued as he brought out a larger and brighter crystal, introducing it, “Its use within the Atana Tribe is roughly equivalent to our codex, guiding inheritors more swiftly and effectively towards higher cultivation bases. Therefore, I asked Wang Zouhui, the Old Ancestor of the Great Qian Wang Clan, to try comprehending this Inheritance Crystal.”

Wang Zouhui, an ordinary cultivator of the Shen-tong realm from the Great Qian Wang Clan, also came to support in response to the call of the Changning Wang Clan. He cultivated using the Mysterious Origin Technique inherited from the Great Qian Wang Clan.

Soon, Wang Zouhui was invited into the venue. He spoke from experience, stating that after refining this level eleven Inheritance Crystal into his Purple Abode Divine Sense, it provided some guidance for his next steps in cultivation. However, compared to other cultivators of Shen-tong realm using a codex to cultivate, the speed and disparity became apparent.

Nonetheless, such slowness is quite normal.

The Old Ancestor Zhuohui was merely an ordinary Shen-tong realm cultivator, with a bloodline awakening level of only the seventh tier, thus barely integrating this level eleven Inheritance Crystal.

It’s not that the Great Qian Wang Clan lacked the funds to enhance his bloodline.

Currently, the Great Qian Wang Clan’s income was steadily rising due to their ties to the Wang family, but the Old Ancestor Zhuohui considered himself old, finding it arduous to enhance the bloodline of someone in the Shen-tong realm. He thought it impractical to barely continue cultivating using the codex, thus he passed up opportunities time and again in favor of the younger family members.

Being part of a large family with more young children, many older-generation Profound Martial cultivators shared this mindset, often taking into account the young family members in their actions.

Hence, Wang Anye simply, under the guise of an “experiment,” obtained a grade nine Infinite Pill, a grade ten Ascension Pill for the Old Ancestor Zhuohui, and requested great grandfather to enhance Old Ancestor Zhuohui’s bloodline to the eighth tier, reaching the proper level for aspiring to the Void Realm.

This way, Wang Zouhui’s cultivation speed increased significantly through the Heritage Crystal Core, though still noticeably slower than using a normal codex.

The group speculated that, after all, this was the Atana Tribe’s Heritage Crystal Core, which differed greatly from the human race’s codex. It was estimated that only when Wang Zouhui traversed to the Void Realm through the crystal core, and fused his own philosophy with the Heritage Crystal Core, condensing and perfecting a [Mysterious Origin Codex] for continued inheritance, could this issue be resolved.

Even so, it was already far simpler and smoother than purely finding a path to the Void Realm on one’s own.

This significantly alleviated the awkward situation of the scarcity of Divine Power Inheritance Stones and codexes in the Divine Martial World.

Many attendees’ eyes lit up, eagerly looking at Wang Shouzhe, hoping he could distribute some Atana Inheritance Crystals among everyone.

“Rest assured, everyone, when there’s wealth, we’ll share it.” Wang Shouzhe laughed, “The growth of the entire Divine Martial World is the foundation of the human race’s strength. This time, I invited everyone for a meeting to properly distribute the wealth.”

“However, distribution will prioritize families who made sacrifices, followed by those who contributed feats. By the way, Muyun, Your Majesty, could you give me the casualty list from your side for comprehensive consideration?”

“This…” Yun Tiange hesitated for a moment but said, “The compensation for my exploration team’s casualties will come from our prior gains, don’t worry, Shouzhe, I’ll handle the compensation well. By the way, as for the rescue mission you outsourced this time, provide me with the expenditure list, I can’t let you bear that cost.”

“Your Majesty… are you sure?” Wang Shouzhe asked with a half-smile.

“…” Yun Tiange hesitated, then nodded, “I’m sure.”

Thereafter, Wang Shouzhe handed over the rescue expenditure to her.

Then, after Yun Tiange reviewed the expenditure list, her face turned pale, almost staggering, with signs of a backlash in her just-stabilized bloodline.

Looking back, she would have rather stayed safe and sound at home!

Wang Shouzhe understood her feelings though.

Much like in a previous life, where some “Wave Donkey” friends ventured out on an adventure impulsively, only to be stranded in a no-man’s land, requiring a massive rescue operation. Just as the rescue team had heaved a sigh of relief after finally pulling them back, they received an exorbitant rescue expense bill, adding to the despair and regret.

Nothing more than heartache and remorse.
