Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1352: Chapter 38: The Power Behind the Scenes, Wang Shouzhe Chapter 1352: Chapter 38: The Power Behind the Scenes, Wang Shouzhe …

At this instant, Wang Ningxi even felt as though he had become invincible in the world.

However, clearly this was an illusion. His strength had merely returned to the peak of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, the state it was in before his failed attempt at the Spirit Platform Realm two years prior.

Wang Shouzhe sensed his condition and looked somewhat puzzled, “Ningxi, when the water and fire merged just now, did your bloodline awaken another level?”

“Great-grandfather, it feels as though a new layer of bloodline has been awakened. But with my meridians severed and Qi Sea having burst so many times recently, my body has become somewhat numb, so I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination,” Wang Ningxi said, his expression conflicted, and he seemed unsure of himself.

Wang Shouzhe’s mouth twitched.

A body numb from shattered meridians was probably something only he encountered in the whole world.

Despite the painful process, the benefits were self-evident. The repeated healing of the meridians and Qi Sea had made them much stronger and more resilient, which would undoubtedly bring great advantages to him in the future.

Wang Shouzhe was very interested in the changes to Ningxi’s aptitude and pulled him to go outside, “Let’s go test it at the Spirit Testing Platform.”

There was a time when building a single Spirit Testing Platform was a major undertaking for the Wang family. Yet now, there were three such platforms just within the confines of the Wang family’s main residence.

One of these was an advanced Spirit Testing Platform, capable of discerning Sky Prides, Great Heavenly Prouds, and Unparalleled Heavenly Children.

Others were also quite interested in this and followed them to the Spirit Testing Platform to join in on the excitement.

As soon as the formation of the Spirit Testing Platform was activated, Wang Ningxi’s test results were out in an instant.

His Bloodline Awakening Level had reached the appearance of a Fourth Blood Vessel Mid Class C.

Commonly known as “Spiritual Body,” if a cultivator from the Heavenly Human Realm or the Purple Abode Realm possessed such, it would not be surprising.

But Wang Ningxi was merely at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm and had yet to enhance his bloodline through a rise in cultivation base. This was what legends referred to as an “Innate Spiritual Body,” commonly known as “Unparalleled Heavenly Child.”

“Just as expected,” Wang Shouzhe nodded in satisfaction, “Ningxi, this is a case of extreme misfortune begetting fortune; great blessings follow a great disaster.”

Emperor Longchang, standing beside them, could only gaze on with eyes wide, his face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He had watched Wang Ningxi grow up. Although Ningxi had exceptionally outstanding aptitude, crossing the threshold of the Spirit Platform Realm before the age of fourteen, and reaching the status of a second-rate Great Heavenly Proud, his talent was actually similar to Anye’s when he was younger. Emperor Longchang remembered how he had intervened to seal Ningxi’s power when he had suffered a body explosion.

But who could have imagined this worthless kid, after repeated trials and tribulations, would actually become an Unparalleled Heavenly Child? Truly a lucky brat.

Regret-filled him.

If only he had known earlier that Wang Ningxi could become unparalleled, no matter what, he would’ve found him a wife from the Imperial Household. Now, it seemed, Shangguan family had reaped the benefits for nothing.

Another person whose feelings were complicated was naturally Ningxi’s father, Wang Anxin.

He was of course happy that his son was unparalleled, but every time he thought about himself being just an ordinary Great Heavenly Proud, he felt full of frustration.

Alas, he had let his great grandfather down.

“Thank you, great grandfather, Great Emperor grandfather, Great Grand Aunt, Uncle Seven…” Wang Ningxi forced himself to quell the fervor in his heart and gracefully thanked all the elders one by one.

Indeed it was true.

If it weren’t for the years of painstaking effort from the family elders to establish connections and status, as well as the hard work over the past two years to seek treatment for him, he, Wang Ningxi, would undoubtedly have had to bear the name of a failure for life and live in melancholy.

Such was the benefit of being born into a powerful family.

As for those like the waste young master in that cheat-story who made a fuss in the Immortal Dynasty, constantly reversing his fates with fortuitous encounters—it felt exhilarating to read, but in reality, the practicality was extremely low.

“We are a family, helping each other is only natural,” said Wang Shouzhe, nonchalantly waving his hand, “Now that your problem is solved, go do whatever you want and give some thought to your Cultivation Technique issues. After all, no one has ever walked the path you’re taking.”

“Yes, great grandfather.”

Wang Ningxi bowed respectfully and stepped back.

Albeit a genius, Ningxi was one among many in the family. Furthermore, it would take at least a hundred or two hundred years for him to grow up. How could they truly rely on him to perform the feat of a wastrel’s comeback and shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the family?

As a sixteen-year-old boy, his only task now was to cultivate well under the protection of the family. At the very least, he had to cultivate to the Heavenly Human Realm or the Purple Abode Realm before he could, like Anye, formally participate in the core affairs of the family.

Peace was still elusive in these times.

South Qin and West Jin were sharpening their knives, ready to attack Da Qian at any moment, and the big shots from the Real Demon Palace lurking in the shadows posed a security threat to both Da Qian and the Wang family.

Wang Shouzhe’s idea, of course, was to hope for peaceful development for a few thousand years first, but the “trees want to be still but the wind keeps blowing.” When you are focused on development, there will always be some demons and monsters jumping out to create obstacles and trouble for you.

In a short while.

A small family meeting convened in Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard.

“Anye, how is the research going on the Transfer Array that was dismantled from the Bloody Dawn Sacred Temple?” asked Wang Shouzhe.

“Great grandfather, my Master says that this is a one-way, multi-space anchoring small Transfer Array that requires Top Grade Spirit Stones to operate, and each transfer should not exceed a distance of ten thousand miles,” Wang Anye explained, “Based on the specs of the Transfer Array, at most five fixed spatial anchors can be set up.”
