Book 6: Chapter 68: Wang's Clan's heritage continues to rise!

……

Under the dense radiance of Buddhist light, Wang Shouzhe's consciousness was in a daze, feeling as if he had traversed the long river of time, wandering in an indescribable world.

It was a sensation difficult to articulate, as if his soul had split into countless fragments, each transforming into a different person, experiencing vastly different lives. An endless stream of insights surged into his heart, causing his soul to unknowingly undergo a transformation, becoming more refined, purer, and free from worldly dust.

During this process, the vast Buddhist light also cleansed his body, purifying his bloodline. The immense power of his bloodline surged within him like a river, growing stronger and purer under the stimulation of the Buddhist light.

After an unknown period, Wang Shouzhe slowly opened his eyes, awakening with a sense of purity and clarity in his heart, as if he had let go of all obsessions after enduring endless trials of time.

Yet this feeling only lasted for a moment.

The responsibilities towards his wife, his children, and as the head of a family all surged back into his heart. Compared to his previous state of mind, he felt more resilient and clear.

At the same time, his understanding of his own Life Origin Path became clearer and deeper.

"Ah!"

Wang Shouzhe exhaled a breath of turbid air, unable to help but marvel in his heart.

This Udumbara Fruit is truly formidable. No wonder even the Holy Venerable and the Dao Master place great importance on it.

However, the Buddhist light is a bit too domineering. Those with weak wills might be forcibly "converted" and directly take refuge in Buddhism if they're not careful. Fortunately, it's just a fruit, and though the Buddhist light is intense, without anyone controlling it, it didn't pose any trouble for Wang Shouzhe. Instead, it made his divine sense even purer and stronger.

He introspected himself and found that his Life Origin Bloodline had indeed become stronger, exuding an even more vigorous and pure life aura as it circulated within him.

This was a sign of his bloodline awakening once more. Although it hadn't reached the level of breaking through a major stage, it had at least reached the later stage of the tenth level of the Sage Body. In terms of aptitude, it was akin to a "Saint Son Grade B, slightly above average."

And his cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Divine Realm, yet to receive the Divine Diagram inheritance.

Such individuals are often referred to as having an "Innate Holy Body," but Wang Shouzhe was even more extraordinary. His current aptitude had already reached the level of "Innate Holy Body Grade B, slightly above average," surpassing many ordinary Saint Sons and Saintesses who had inherited the Divine Diagram.

"Congratulations to the master on the advancement of your bloodline."

At this moment, the Green Emperor Immortal Scripture manifested a phantom from his Purple Mansion.

The spirit artifact Qinghuang looked at Wang Shouzhe with eyes full of admiration, her words filled with flattery.

She was a high-level Immortal Scripture, and even if the master hadn't inherited the Divine Diagram, using her to deduce the subsequent stages had a great chance of reaching the Da Luo Saint Stage.

However, if the master directly obtained the Divine Diagram, she might not be needed anymore.

Alas, being an Immortal Scripture is too difficult. When the master's bloodline aptitude wasn't good, she despised it. If the master's bloodline aptitude was too good, she feared being abandoned.

"You don't need to worry." Wang Shouzhe seemed to see through her thoughts, his eyes clear, "Even if I have the Divine Diagram, I will keep you. Once I advance to Da Luo, I will strive to deduce the Wood Emperor's Path to Da Luo, allowing you to evolve into a Divine Diagram."

Wang Shouzhe understood that his "Life Origin Path" was an extremely high-level origin path, even surpassing the Life Path of Lixian. The Wood Emperor's Path was originally a branch of the Life Path in the heavenly dao.

Therefore, using Wang Shouzhe's Life Origin Path to deduce the Wood Emperor's Path, while not easy, was certainly manageable. He also kept the previous Green Emperor Codex, intending to deduce and separate some Divine Realm inheritances once he reached the Void Realm.

When she cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, he would gradually evolve the Green Emperor Codex into a new Immortal Scripture, capable of producing a series of codices, making the Green Emperor's Path one of the Wang Clan's super heritages.

By then, the Green Emperor's Path would become a complete inheritance, from the Divine Realm inheritance grounds to the codex, Immortal Scripture, and even the Divine Diagram.

This was the path the Wang Clan had to take to become a truly long-lasting Holy Clan.

"Thank you, master!" The Green Emperor Immortal Scripture and Green Emperor Codex were both endlessly grateful to Wang Shouzhe, feeling as if they had met their true destined one.

Compared to the master, the previous Holy Emperor of Shenwu and Gui Wushuang were nothing. Now, their hearts were only for the master!!!

After appeasing the Immortal Scripture and Codex.

Wang Shouzhe began to inspect the Green Emperor's Small World, which he hadn't visited in a long time.

When he left, he had left the Green Jade Compass and teleportation talisman at home. Over the years, the family had sent people to make some modifications to the Green Emperor's Small World.

After decades of simple development, the once barren small world was now filled with thousands of spiritual farmlands, crisscrossed with paths. Clan members on duty were busy working with production puppets in the fields.

Such a small world often served as the family's secret realm, carrying the family's core interests, so those who could work there were at least direct lineage clan members.

And the small world itself was extremely precious.

Generally speaking, apart from naturally occurring small worlds, only those with cultivation at or above the Holy Venerable level had the ability to open a small world.

As such, even the immortal clans and immortal dynasties of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty mostly did not have small world secret realms. Only those ancient and powerful immortal clans or Holy Clans had small worlds as part of their heritage.

However, even though a Holy Venerable could open a small world, it wasn't something they could do at will, nor was it an easy task. Each small world required a vast amount of resources, time, and effort, and even a Holy Venerable might not be able to complete it within their lifetime, requiring the next Holy Venerable to continue the work.

But correspondingly, if a Holy Clan had a long history and many generations of inheritance, the number of small worlds would naturally increase, and the heritage would become deeper.

From what Wang Shouzhe understood, the Lüqiu Clan and Sima Clan of the Tianrui Royal Family each had more than one small world, though the exact number was unknown.

In addition, Wang Shouzhe knew that the Tianrui Pei Clan and Yao Clan, two ancient super immortal clans, each had at least one small world, inaccessible to outsiders.

Thus.

The Wang Clan now having two small worlds meant they possessed part of the heritage of a super immortal clan.

After the inspection, Wang Shouzhe had Cai Youdao come in to help him place a medium-grade seventh-grade spiritual vein in the Green Emperor's Small World.

This seventh-grade spiritual vein was of excellent quality, and once spread out, combined with formations to prevent spiritual energy from dissipating, it could quickly open up a batch of extremely precious seventh-grade spiritual farmlands.

Generally, a micro spiritual vein could open up six or seven portions of spiritual farmland. A small spiritual vein could open up about six to ten acres of spiritual farmland. This medium-grade seventh-grade spiritual vein, being of excellent quality, was estimated to open up at least a hundred acres of seventh-grade spiritual farmland.

With the ten acres of seventh-grade spiritual farmland already present in the Green Emperor's Small World, the total would reach one hundred and ten acres.

This was much larger than the seventh-grade spiritual farmland in the Returning to Origin Small World.

Seventh-grade spiritual farmland was full of celestial opportunities, and if planted with sixth-grade spiritual rice, the growth rate would be extremely fast. With careful cultivation and proper care, multiple harvests in a year were normal if the climate was suitable.

However, seventh-grade spiritual farmland was most suitable for planting corresponding seventh-grade spiritual rice, which, under the meticulous cultivation of a True Immortal Realm spiritual plant cultivator, could mature in four to five years, yielding about two hundred catties per harvest.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe decided to plant fifty acres each of Linglong Fragrant Rice and Yuliang Spring Rice. The remaining ten acres would be used as experimental fields for spirit medicine.

The profits from these two types of seventh-grade spiritual rice could reach around twenty thousand immortal crystals per catty. Calculating with a "yearly yield per acre" of fifty catties, each acre could yield a million immortal crystals annually, and a hundred acres would yield over a hundred million immortal crystals!

This equated to about one immortal spirit stone in revenue. Even after deducting the costs of seeds, spiritual formations, and hiring True Immortal Realm spiritual plant cultivators, there would still be a net profit of tens of top-grade spiritual stones annually. In two hundred years, that would be a net income of one Chaos Spirit Stone, and in two thousand years, ten Chaos Spirit Stones!

However, considering that the clan members of the Wang Clan themselves also needed to consume seventh-grade spiritual rice, this amount of rice production might not even be enough for internal consumption. This so-called net profit was just theoretical, as most of it would be consumed internally.

But Wang Shouzhe had his own advantages in planting seventh-grade spiritual farmland, as he didn't need True Immortal Realm spiritual plant cultivators at all. The super combination of Lu Xiaoyi and Wang Shouzhe had a cultivation efficiency far exceeding that of professional True Immortal Realm spiritual plant cultivators. In suitable climates, they could harvest a batch in about a month.

This allowed the seventh-grade spiritual farmland to have advantages in Wang Shouzhe's hands far surpassing those of other families.

After dealing with the matters of the Green Emperor's Small World.

Wang Shouzhe returned to the main residence of the Wang Clan, placing some of the treasures obtained from the Holy Domain into the family treasury in batches, including Chaos Essence, Chaos Origin, ninth-grade, tenth-grade, and even eleventh-grade Manifestation Pills.

These were rare treasures, and if not for the trip to the Holy Domain, obtaining such items in the Shenwu World would not have been easy.

The only issue was that the contribution value prices for these items were extremely high.

Apart from a few "big spenders" like Wang Zong'an, Wang Anye, and Wang Fugui, who had plenty of surplus contribution value and could immediately exchange Chaos Essence for their life-bound spirit plants, most clan members found their contribution value insufficient.

However, even with the high prices, it didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for exchange. Many clan members were so stimulated that they were fired up, eagerly seeking out the family spirit artifact Xiaoxue to take on various tasks. For a time, the family's original tasks were almost insufficient to meet the demand.

Fortunately, the Wang Clan was currently in a period of rapid development, with job opportunities everywhere. Wang Xiaohan, Wang Shouxin, Wang Shounuo, Wang Luotong, Wang Shouye, and other clan members who had now been promoted to family elders held a meeting, discussed the situation, and temporarily set up batch after batch of tasks to gradually meet the task needs of the clan members.

By Zhuhui Lake.

The Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle, an old servant of the family, continued to carry generation after generation of the Wang Clan's direct descendant young masters and young misses to school over the years.

Even among the direct descendants, the number of children was gradually increasing, and the number of young masters and young misses on the turtle's back was growing.

Fortunately, the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle, relying on its "merits," enjoyed high treatment within the family and had already advanced to a seventh-grade spirit turtle, capable of changing size at will.

One day.

The Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle was carrying six or seven young masters and misses, paddling across the water, happily heading towards the clan school.

These young masters and misses ranged from as young as seven to as old as twelve, each one looking as delicate and lovely as a carved jade statue.

Older young masters and misses generally didn't ride the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle.

But this time, Miss Wang Jinyu, who was already "overage," also accompanied the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle. However, she wasn't standing on the turtle's back but was instead standing on a flying Divine Spirit Artifact sword, flying alongside the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle.

Today, she wore a neat outfit, with a tight belt accentuating her graceful figure. Standing steadily on the sword, she appeared valiant and dashing, exuding a sense of elegance.

The direct descendant children couldn't help but look at Wang Jinyu with eyes full of envy.

They also wanted to quickly cultivate to the Lingtai Realm so they could pester their parents for a Divine Spirit Artifact, allowing them to fly freely to and from school.

"Eeya eeya~"

On the back of the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle, a slender bamboo whip was mixed among the group of children, swaying its head and making cheerful sounds.

This bamboo whip was naturally the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo—Wang Zongzhu.

He was also Wang Jinyu's escort this time.

Despite Wang Zongzhu's high seniority, his mind was still very immature, resembling that of a six or seven-year-old human child. As for transformation, that was out of the question.

Currently, Wang Zongzhu was still in the form of a bamboo whip with a few small bamboo shoots, not yet grown into a full bamboo, let alone transformed.

Even Liu Ruolan, who dearly loved children, was at a loss when it came to designing clothes for him, so she personally sewed a satchel and hung it on one of the bamboo shoots.

Fearing he might not adapt, she even sent clan members to escort him.

But none of this affected Wang Zongzhu.

He was very happy today. It was his first day attending the clan school. Before returning, he had heard from his father about the many benefits of attending the clan school, and he had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Now, finally about to enter the legendary clan school, he was naturally extremely excited.

In his excitement, a series of lightning bolts crackled from the bamboo shoots, and when the electric current hit the water, it even caused some fish to float to the surface. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The group of little kids was stunned.

"Ancestor Zongzhu!" Wang Jinyu frowned, quickly maneuvering her flying sword to his side, "You can't just electrocute fish. During this season, fishing is strictly prohibited in Zhuhui Lake. Even during the fishing season, using electricity is not allowed."

"Eeya eeya~" Wang Zongzhu looked puzzled.

"Electrocuting fish harms the ecological environment. You may not understand this, but you should know it's a rule." Wang Jinyu looked at Wang Zongzhu with a serious expression.

When she first took on the task of "helping Ancestor Zongzhu adjust to the clan school," she felt a bit smug, thinking it was an easy task with plenty of contribution value, definitely a rare good task. But now, she was starting to regret it.

Ancestor Zongzhu's mental state seemed quite worrying, immature to a somewhat frightening degree, and his intelligence didn't seem very high either.

However, the minds of spirit plants usually matured slowly. Among the many celestial and semi-celestial plants in the family, only Ancestor Wang Zongshi, the World Tree, had been mature, quiet, and intelligent from a young age.

Now, Ancestor Wang Zongshi had long since graduated from the advanced clan school, successfully completed graduate and doctoral studies, and had become a researcher at the research institute, often working on projects with Dean Liyue.

At the same time, Ancestor Wang Zongshi was also a professor at the advanced clan school.

With his handsome appearance, noble and elegant demeanor, and the air of a noble gentleman, he had always been popular among students. Even though everyone knew his true form was a tree, there were still countless girls from other clans clamoring to marry him.

In contrast, Ancestor Basalt Wang Lixuan, who was born around the same time as Ancestor Wang Zongshi, had made much less progress in his studies. After all these years, he was still lingering in the advanced clan school, with graduation nowhere in sight.

Most of the other spirit plants and spiritual beasts in the family were similar to Wang Lixuan, still spending their time in the advanced clan school, with only a few having successfully graduated.

"Eeya eeya~" Although Wang Zongzhu didn't quite understand, he obediently agreed.

Despite his questionable intelligence, under Wang Shouzhe's personal guidance, his character and temperament were quite good. Since it was a rule, he would follow it.

Such obedience allowed Wang Jinyu to breathe a sigh of relief.

With Ancestor Zongzhu willing to cooperate, completing this task shouldn't be too tiring.

She now had to take on as many tasks as possible. There was no choice; with her bloodline having advanced significantly—according to Ancestor Grandfather, she was at least aiming for the True Immortal Realm in the future.

The stronger the bloodline, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the expenses.

Even with the treatment of a direct secondary lineage and the treatment of an innate spiritual body cultivation sequence, it was far from enough to cover expenses, necessitating task completion for subsidies.

She had silently made up her mind.

When she grew older and stronger, she would definitely visit the Holy Domain to see the world and meet those who, despite being hundreds or thousands of years old, still called themselves children~

Similar task situations were happening constantly within the Wang Clan.

Meanwhile.

The big shots of the Immortal Dynasty and Demon Dynasty, upon hearing that Wang Shouzhe had brought back a batch of various treasures, hurried over, bringing all sorts of rare treasures to exchange.

The first to arrive was the clan's semi-immortal tree, the Han Yue Immortal Osmanthus, from the Han Yue Immortal Dynasty's royal family.

The osmanthus tea she produced, commonly known as Immortal Osmanthus Tea, had the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, and enhancing beauty. Moreover, the nourishing paste made from Immortal Osmanthus Tea was an excellent moisturizing product.

Immortal Emperor Mu Yun often gifted osmanthus tea and beauty paste to Liu Ruolan, which were very popular among the female members of the family.

This semi-immortal osmanthus was already the third generation of the Yun Clan. Her previous two generations had naturally withered due to the exhaustion of their lifespan. Now, she was also at the peak of the twelfth grade, facing a bottleneck. Without a breakthrough, she would exhaust her lifespan in as little as seven to eight thousand years, or at most over ten thousand years.

Although the lifespan of spirit plants was much longer than that of humans of the same level, it was not infinite. Once their lifespan was exhausted, they would still die.

Her situation was somewhat similar to that of Di Xiu. Di Xiu was also very old, having lived for tens of thousands of years, and if not for the two bottles of Chaos Essence given by Wang Shouzhe, his lifespan would have been running out as well.

This time, the Han Yue Immortal Osmanthus came seeking two small bottles of Chaos Essence, with the price left to the Wang Clan to decide.

However, before the Han Yue Immortal Osmanthus could finalize a deal with the Wang Clan, the Red Abyss Demon Emperor also arrived with his clan's Infernal Demon Tree.

This Infernal Demon Tree was also the Shentu Clan's clan-protecting demon tree, with strength at the peak of the twelfth grade, seeking two small bottles of Chaos Essence to break through the bloodline shackles.

Although the Infernal Demon Tree didn't produce tea leaves, it did produce Infernal Demon Fruits, which were extremely beneficial to cultivators with fire-type bloodlines. At Wang Shouzhe's Duke's Banquet, the Red Abyss Demon Emperor had even gifted ten Infernal Demon Fruits as a congratulatory gift.

But the matter didn't end there.

The True Demon Hall of the Demon Dynasty also sent two Void Demon Lords, bringing with them the hall's demon plant—the Netherworld Soul Tree.

This Netherworld Soul Tree had also been stuck at the peak of the twelfth grade for a long time.

Spirit plants and demon plants were like this; in their long lives, they often reached their limits. However, once stuck at the bloodline shackles, breaking through was even more challenging than for other species.

The face of the True Demon Hall couldn't be ignored, especially since the current "head" of the True Demon Hall was Ancestor Long Yan of the Wang Clan. Clearly, Ancestor Long Yan also wanted the True Demon Hall to have a True Immortal-level combat power; otherwise, it would be too weak.

Alright!

Each request couldn't be refused.

Fortunately, only six small bottles of Chaos Essence were needed in total, and Wang Shouzhe had already anticipated this, having set aside the Chaos Essence in advance.

After signing a series of agreements and receiving various benefits, Wang Shouzhe "reluctantly" handed over the Chaos Essence.

Once they successfully broke through their bloodline and advanced, the Shenwu World would gain three more True Immortal-level combat powers, alleviating the awkward situation of insufficient high-end combat power.

As a result, along with Cai Youdao, a half-baked Holy Venerable, the Shenwu human race now had a total of ten and a half True Immortal-level combat powers!

Recalling the time when there were barely four and a half True Immortal-level combat powers, the Shenwu human race's heritage had grown immensely. Even when facing the once seemingly invincible demon race, they now had a certain advantage.

This was unimaginable in the past.

And all these changes were due to the appearance of Wang Shouzhe.

Whether it was the Demon Emperor or the Immortal Emperor, looking back on the past, they felt as if they had wasted the first half of their lives, experiencing a surreal sense of disbelief.

In the past, merely holding off the demon race's attacks, defending the human bases in the demon domain, and keeping the demon race outside the spatial rift was already extremely challenging. "Counterattacking" was something they only dared to dream of occasionally.

But now, under Wang Shouzhe's series of operations, the human race's heritage had unknowingly improved significantly, to the point where they no longer feared the demon race!

And the improvement in heritage meant that the time for a counterattack had finally arrived.

After sending off these three heavyweight guests, Wang Shouzhe finally initiated the "Shenwu Heavenly Abyss" plan and secretly ordered the activation of "Wu Mingyan," launching a comprehensive campaign against the demon realm!
