Chapter 2923: Chapter 50: Innate Sacred Body! Three Born at Once

...

In the 413th year of the Great Qian Yong’an Calendar.

The fifteenth-generation direct eldest son of the Divine Martial Changning Wang family was born.

Later generations, in the official histories of Great Qian, recorded that on this day, heaven and earth trembled, mountains and rivers resounded, and the earth-element Spiritual Energy of the entire Divine Martial World leapt and cheered in delight.

This Spiritual Energy gathered around Changning, forming a thick, earthy-yellow cloud layer in the sky.

The cloud layer was vast and heavy, like mountains and great peaks, as if heaven and earth themselves were hanging upside down; within it, Jin Guang flickered, ten thousand rays of rosy light spread out, and auspicious qi surged in countless streams, as though it contained the most profound cosmic truths of the Dao.

That deep and majestic might left everyone who witnessed this scene inwardly shaken.

”He’s born, he’s born! Congratulations, madams, the Eldest Princess Jade River has given birth to a boy.” A midwife came out rejoicing to report the good news.

In the plain and unadorned courtyard of Wang Baosheng, the large group of women who had been waiting there for a long time all revealed expressions of joy at once.

Wang Baosheng’s marriage had been delayed for far, far too long. The other branches had long since flourished, their descendants lush and thriving, yet the Direct Long Line remained without any movement; every elder’s heart was naturally anxious to the extreme.

”Chuan’er.” A middle-aged, dignified woman wearing the robe of a Duke’s wife, agitatedly beckoned to Princess Chuan Nan, Yun Mengyu. ”Quick, quickly have someone go report the good news to Father and my husband and ask them to bestow a name. They’re all waiting in Father’s courtyard.”

This dignified woman was none other than the primary wife of the current Great Qian Lord Anyuan, Wang Zong’an—Xu Pingting.

Her cultivation aptitude was not particularly good, and she had started too late; moreover, her temperament was gentle and she was not fond of cultivation. So even though she had all kinds of Heaven and Earth Treasure piled upon her, her cultivation progressed slowly; even now she was only about at the second level of the Divine Power Territory, and even attempting a breakthrough to the Transcendent Void Realm felt somewhat forced.

Fortunately, when she was in the Purple Abode Realm, she had switched to a lifespan-extending Wood Type Cultivation Technique, and with the family life-protection plant of the life attribute guarding her, even if she never managed to break through to the Transcendent Void Realm, living two or three thousand years should not be a problem.

Besides, she had long been thoroughly satisfied with her current situation. Her father- and mother-in-law treated her very well, she and Wang Zong’an were a harmonious couple, and among their sons, grandsons, and further descendants, quite a few outstanding talents had emerged, which filled her with pride.

All along, the only thing she could not let go of was Wang Baosheng’s marriage and children. At the rate he was going, it would not have been impossible for him to go several thousand years without marrying or having offspring!

She had truly been afraid she might not live to see Baosheng’s child born.

Now everything was fine; in one go he had married three wives, and each of them was already pregnant.

In her words, she could now die without regrets.

”Yes, Granny Ting.” Princess Chuan Nan, Yun Mengyu, responded at once.

At a time like this, she was also very well-behaved. She hurriedly summoned a trusted maid to go and deliver the message to Old Ancestor Grandfather’s small courtyard.

”Pingting.” At this moment, Liu Ruolan, who sat upright in the top seat, suddenly glanced over and said calmly, ”From now on you still need to put more of your mind on cultivation, lest you fail to see the birth of the sixteenth-generation direct eldest son.”

From just now, her attention had been focused on the birthing room, her expression solemn and serious.

Though she had hardly spoken, she was like a Sea Stabilizing Needle; so long as she was here, everyone had a pillar to rely on.

Hearing her words, the excitement on Xu Pingting’s face froze. She cautiously asked, ”Mother, it won’t come to that, will it?”

”How could it not?” Liu Ruolan lifted her head to gaze toward the thick, mountain-like, boundless earthy whirlpool in the sky, and the almost solidified Spiritual Energy. ”Heaven and earth overturned, ten thousand spirits come to pay homage—this accumulated Spiritual Energy cloud layer has spread all the way to Donghaei. This is likely the birth of a Sacred Body on the Innate level, something rarely seen since ancient times. How great do you think this child’s chances are of finding a suitable partner?”

”So this is the heavenly anomaly of a Sacred Body Level Innate? Awakening a Six-fold Bloodline at birth?” Sitting at Xu Pingting’s side, another plump, well-rounded and slightly jade-like, affluent-looking woman said in surprise, ”When our Baosheng was born, he seemed to be just an Innate Taoist Body, awakening the Fifth Level of Bloodline.”

This was Wang Shizhao’s wife of the Qian Family, Qian Yurou, known in the family as Grandma Qian. Her prestige within the family’s inner residence was even higher than Xu Pingting’s, second only to Liu Ruolan.

She not only led a group of daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law in managing the vast and complicated finances of the family inner residence with perfect order, but was also extremely adept at financial management and investment. Her philosophy was that the Wang family needed development, and there were many areas where money was needed.

For the ever-growing expenses of our Wang family’s inner residence, we should, as much as possible, avoid burdening the clan’s development funds and, ideally, achieve self-sufficiency. Thus, led by her and the daughters-in-law of the main branch, and selecting outstanding inner-residence women from the Direct Long Line and the Direct Vessel, they established the Wang family Inner Residence Fund, dedicated to investment and profit-making, to cope with the increasingly vast consumption of the Wang family’s inner residence.

Concepts like Xinping Town’s Shouzhe Avenue, a kind of world political and commercial center, were conceived and single-handedly created and promoted by her.

Many emerging entertainment industries, clothing industries, and even the latest communications and air-rail transport sectors all bore the shadow of the Wang family Inner Residence Fund.

Today, the Wang family Inner Residence Fund, riding wave after wave of the times and rapidly compounding profits, had gradually become an invisible giant.

It was said that the current Young Clan Leader managing the family, Wang Zong’an, had, over a hundred years ago, been vexed by a massive funding gap for a major clan investment. Upon hearing his wife Xu Pingting casually mention the size of the Wang family Inner Residence Fund, he fell into a long, long silence, and then summoned his daughter-in-law Qian Yurou to borrow some money.
