Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2856: Chapter 32: Intense Internal Competition Within the Wang Family_3

”Top hundred?” Wang Jinyu was taken aback, her face slightly downcast. ”Artifact Spirit, are you kidding me? I don’t even have the Sacred Image, yet I’m considered a Class C Saintess! And she’s an Innate Saintess!”

Now, she was one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation of her family. According to the elders at home, she could hold her own against the Taoist Master’s teachings in the Sacred Domain.

”Being in the top hundred in history is already remarkable~~” The Sword Palace Artifact Spirit didn’t quite understand her disappointment and remained extremely excited. ”The Sword Emperor Palace ranks among the top five superpowers of the Immortal Alliance and possesses the inheritance of four Sword Emperor Dao Texts. There are generally no fewer than three Sword Emperors online simultaneously.”

Top five?

Wang Jinyu instantly understood, wearing a ”I get it” expression, she said, ”I understand, so it’s rank five!”

It’s like when she ranked fourth in tests at the Clan School, she would say she was in the top four! If she were third, she would definitely say she was in the top three!

Which person who ranks first or second in tests says they’re in the top three?

”Uh... although that’s true, the primary issue is that our Sword Emperor Palace is strict in accepting disciples, requiring strong proficiency in Sword Dao talents. Purely high bloodline talent without Sword Dao talents is futile.” The Sword Palace Artifact Spirit seemed a bit embarrassed, trying hard to explain, ”Unlike other Dao Sects, they’re just a hodgepodge without any specialization.”

”Don’t undervalue yourself. With your bloodline talent entering the Sword Emperor Palace, you’ll definitely be accepted as a Direct Disciple by a Sword Emperor. Whether you can inherit the teachings depends on whether that Sword Emperor is at the inheritance stage, and on your peers. But even if things don’t go well, reaching the Sword Saint advanced stage in the future won’t be a problem.”

Wang Jinyu was very clear about her position, understanding that the Artifact Spirit was speaking the truth.

However, the hardest part for her right now is that, let alone Dao Books, she doesn’t even have a Sacred Image.

Immediately, she looked hopefully at the Artifact Spirit and asked, ”Artifact Spirit Sister, may I ask how many Sacred Sword Diagrams our Zhenze Sword Palace has?”

”...”

The Sword Palace Artifact Spirit was speechless for a moment before saying, ”Only one.”

Wang Jinyu rolled her eyes at once, ”You just mentioned the Sword Emperor Palace has four Dao Books of inheritance, but our Zhenze Sword Palace only has one Sacred Sword Diagram. Isn’t this too poor...”

”Indeed, it’s a bit poor, but what can you expect when our Zhenze Area is a remote and desolate place...” The Sword Palace Artifact Spirit sighed, ”But one Sacred Image is enough for you to inherit. You should try breaking through the Heavenly Sword Tower; just passing ten levels will grant you inheritance rights. With the Sacred Sword Diagram passed down by Yaoguang Sword Saint, you can cultivate to the Sword Immortal Stage, then try your luck at the Sword Emperor Palace, perhaps find a Sword Emperor to apprentice under.”

Enough for what?

Wang Jinyu secretly rolled her eyes.

How can just one Sacred Image possibly fall to her? There are several peers eligible to compete with her!

Besides, with only one, it must be that of Grand Aunt Li Yao.

As for trying the Sword Emperor Palace... that place has been destroyed for a million epochs, and what’s left now?

Even if there are untouched ruins, they’re likely deep in the Realm of Ruin. It’s said to hold great terror, who dares venture there~

”Forget about those distant aspirations, Wang Jinyu, having broken through the Sword Path, you’re now an official disciple of our Zhenze Sword Palace.”

An ordinary black metal command token descended from the sky, landing before Wang Jinyu as the Sword Palace Artifact Spirit spoke.

It was a simple black metal token in the shape of a shield, with a sword-shaped relief on the front and the words ”Earthquake Marsh” engraved on the back, clearly this was the disciple command token of Zhenze Sword Palace.

”With this disciple command token, you can access some basic facilities within the palace, earning basic resources. To unlock higher permissions and receive more rewards, you must attempt the Heavenly Sword Tower.”

Alongside this disciple command token came a pouch of Spirit Stones, each one of top quality, amounting to over a hundred.

This equates to an Immortal Spirit Stone, really some consolation.

In reality, Wang Jinyu was under considerable pressure. She had relied on many family resources on her journey, and these were not freely given; they’d been converted into owed Contribution Points, diligently tracked by Little Snow.

Like many top figures of the younger generation, she was now genuinely a ”big debt princess.”

If not for Grand Aunt Li Yao’s unified direction, she’d probably be attempting the Heavenly Sword Tower by now, aiming to secure various rewards first.

Unable to challenge the Heavenly Sword Tower, Wang Jinyu promptly began exploring the Sword Palace, aiming first to understand the state of the Sword Palace and its various facilities.

Regarding those fixed assets, she had no intention of touching them, fully aware that since the discovery of Zhenze Sword Palace, it’s already under the name ”Wang.”

During her exploration, Wang Jinyu found many surprises.

This Zhenze Sword Palace indeed lived up to being a specialized Sword Cultivator Sect. Within the vast Sword Palace, there were many places suitable for Sword Cultivators to practice swordsmanship and hone Sword Intent, including numerous Sword Dao Steles left by senior Sword Cultivators—the place was truly a paradise for Sword Cultivators.

Although the passage of a million epochs has made many facilities seem outdated, fortunately, the materials used in the past were exceptional, and Wang Jinyu found they were still functional.

If one could cultivate the Sword Dao within this palace and have companions to mutually verify their learnings, it should be very pleasant.
