Chapter 2987: Chapter 68: Talents of the Wang Family Arrive in Luojing

...

Luojing is immensely vast.

It occupies the entire Luo River World, with a total area nearly half of the Divine Martial World.

Yet, Luojing is exceedingly small.

In the eyes of true dignitaries and nobles, only the area centered around the Dingyun Divine Palace and its surrounding core district can truly be called ”Luojing”.

Within the core district, each major Sacred Race has an ancestral residence area, but even common prominent families, and even Immortal Clans, do not have the privilege to establish ancestral homes there.

An ancient saying circulates in Luojing: ”Xuanyuan’s Ji Family governs the world; Jiang, Ying, Yun, and Ji families hold up half the sky.”

It alludes to the two major God Clans, the Xuanyuan Royal Family and the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace’s Ji Family, which can stand shoulder to shoulder and jointly rule the world. Meanwhile, the Jiang, Ying, Yun, and Ji families, these Four Great Ancient Holy Tribes with millions of years of history, are all flourishing and hold immense power.

Of course, there are many Ancient Saints, not just these four. Yet in the long span of history, some once illustrious Ancient Saints have long since waned and now fare worse than some new prominent families.

Even among the Jiang, Ying, Yun, and Ji families, the combined strength is not entirely equal.

Among them, the Jiang Clan is at its zenith. Although the Ying Clan had shown signs of decline, the emergence of the Dao Palace Heir Ying Lingzhu reversed its fortunes.

As for the Yun family, the main branch is mediocre, but its Jade River Yun family branch has developed impressively, showing an aggressive rise. The combined strength of both is formidable.

Regarding the Ji family, it possesses four Sacred Supreme heritages, making its main lineage slightly stronger than the Yun family, though its branch families are not as powerful.

Thus, in recent years, the Ji family has not been as prominent among the Four Great Ancient Holy Tribes as the Yun family and has adopted a more low-key style than before.

Nevertheless, the Four Great Ancient Holy Tribes are ultimately the Four Great Ancient Holy Tribes. Any Sacred Race within them is a colossal entity for other Sacred Races, something they must look up to.

Luojing Jiang Clan!

As one of the Ancient Saints with a history traceable back to the Immortal Alliance Era, the Jiang Clan, though it never produced a Taoist Master like the Ying Clan, has a strong alchemist lineage within.

Since the establishment of the Dongxia Divine Dynasty, the Jiang Clan has leveraged its Ancient Saint strength, exceptional alchemy expertise, and the vast number of alchemists trained within its clan to hold significant influence in the world of alchemy.

Through marriage alliances, commercial cooperation, and other means, the Jiang Clan has maintained very close relations with the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace.

For this reason, the Jiang Clan has consistently prospered for a million years, growing stronger and more prestigious.

If the Ying Clan hadn’t produced someone like Ying Lingzhu, the Jiang Clan’s momentum might have been even greater.

The Jiang Clan’s old residence, as the ancestral home of the Ancient Saint Jiang Clan, is naturally built with grandeur and majesty.

Because of its long history, even with regular renovations, the old residence still appears ancient and profound, with traces of time visible everywhere, fully demonstrating the rich heritage of the Ancient Saints.

At this moment.

At the entrance of the Jiang Clan’s old residence, beneath the towering and imposing ”Dingxiao Holy King” archway.

An elderly man with a humble demeanor, accompanied by a young man, respectfully cupped his hands toward another stately elder: ”Brother Shengzhe, you have many matters to attend to at your esteemed residence lately, so please, do not trouble yourself with further formalities in seeing us off.”

The stately elder smiled broadly upon hearing this: ”In that case, I shall not detain you both any longer. Brother Chenfen, young friend Yinhang, you are always welcome to visit the Jiang Clan again.”

With that, he waved them off and returned to the main residence.

This elder, addressed as ”Brother Shengzhe,” is Jiang Shengzhe, one of the five Sacred Supreme patriarchs of the Jiang Clan.

To receive personal hospitality from him indicates that the elder addressed as ”Brother Chenfen” and the young man called ”young friend Yinhang” must have significant identities.

As they watched Jiang Shengzhe’s figure disappear, the elder and the young man stepped back to stand under the massive and majestic ”Dingxiao Holy King” archway, where the smiles faded from their faces.

”The Tianwei Diao Family has gone too far,” the young man named Wang Yinhang replied with a dark face, a flicker of resentment in his eyes. ”They somehow found out about our Tianwei Wang family coming to the Dingxiao Holy King Mansion for a marriage proposal, and they acted first, proposing to Miss Xiyue with lavish betrothal gifts. They clearly are not leaving any path for our Tianwei Wang family.”

The elder Wang Chenfen’s eyes also flashed with weariness: ”In the past tens of thousands of years, the Diao Family has risen too quickly, but Tianwei Sacred Residence’s overall resources are extremely limited. Naturally, their family and ours cannot coexist as two tigers in one mountain. Now that our Tianwei Wang family is gradually weakening, their continued pressing is understandable.”

This elder and young man hail from the Sacred Race Wang family of the Tianwei Sacred Residence in the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

It is well known that the entire Dongxia Divine Dynasty is divided between the Central Lands and overseas, with the Central Lands being the core area of the divine dynasty, developed by ancestors who first arrived in this Void Sea a million years ago.

In the vast God Continent Central Lands, according to administrative levels, it can be divided into ”One Capital”, ”Eight Mansions”, and ”Seventy-Two Daos”, which forms the foundational structure directly governed by the Dongxia God Emperor.

On the other hand, the rulers of the Overseas Holy Dynasties, due to the vast distances and dispersed distribution, are only governed in a semi-autonomous manner.

Thus, the leader of the Central Eight Mansions is called the ”Residence Master”, while the rulers of the Overseas Dynasties are titled as ”Sacred Emperor”, as they have much greater autonomy than the Residence Master. Of course, correspondingly, the protection afforded to them by the Dongxia Divine Dynasty is also much less.
