Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 769 Book 6: 45: Innate dao body! I am ordinary and plain
……
"Grandfather, I understand. I'll work harder," Wang Fugui nodded helplessly.
He understood Ancestor Grandfather's mindset, but the idea of having more children was something he resisted internally.
Wang Fugui was still young. Having just one child like Baosheng was already giving him a headache. He couldn't imagine how life would be if there were more "Wang Baoshengs" running around Idle Residence.
But since Ancestor Grandfather had already laid down the law, there was no way to dodge this wave.
He glanced at Wang Baosheng, feeling a surge of irritation, "What are you laughing at?"
Wang Baosheng quickly straightened his expression and said, "Dad, I'm not laughing. I'm just happy that our family will soon have more brothers and sisters..."
More?
Wang Fugui's eyelid twitched, and he sneered, "By the way, Baosheng, you're sixteen now, right? Ever since you advanced to the Celestial Realm at fourteen, it's been over two years. Your cultivation has reached the second level of the Celestial Realm, and the Cultural Entertainment Office is thriving. You can stand on your own now, so why are you still living in Idle Residence?"
"Such a mama's boy. How will you find a wife if this gets out?" Wang Fugui criticized sternly, "You're not telling me you've never been in a relationship at sixteen, are you?"
"......"
Wang Baosheng was speechless for a moment, then finally squeezed out, "Dad, I'm still young, only sixteen. Besides, how is dating more interesting than building a career?"
"Sigh!"
Both Wang Fugui and Wang Anye sighed in unison.
"Hahaha~"
Princess Huari laughed so hard she was bending over, "Baosheng, you've never been in a relationship? Your great-grandfather, your father... they all started dating girls at your age, and those girls were head over heels for them, refusing to marry anyone else. You're falling behind... How about this, Auntie will introduce you to a girlfriend~~ Do you like the pure and charming type, or the lively and cute type?"
"Auntie, girls are too much trouble," Wang Baosheng shook his head resolutely, "Especially girls my age, I have nothing in common with them. They're all so childish, just fooling around."
"......" Wang Fugui's mind suddenly lit up, and he looked at Wang Baosheng with a probing gaze, "You think girls your age are childish, could it be you like..."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember," Princess Huari clapped her hands, recalling some gossip she had heard, "I heard Baosheng is quite close to Ouyang Nanyan and Shentu Shiho, often having meals together and watching movies. Baosheng, do you like older women?"
"Impossible!" Wang Baosheng denied firmly, "Senior Ouyang is outstanding and efficient, she's my right-hand woman. Occasionally hanging out with her is a chance to discuss work and also a way to manage subordinates."
"As for Mr. Shentu, she has great potential, I'm just encouraging her growth."
Wang Anye listened thoughtfully from the side, "Your taste is a bit... unique, but our Wang's Clan has always been open and inclusive, so it's not unacceptable."
"Indeed, I've looked into it," Wang Fugui nodded, "Though the two girls are slightly older, their potential and qualifications are not bad, and their family backgrounds are clean. I've been thinking, since we don't need Baosheng to marry for alliances, why not let him continue the family line early?"
Naturally, Wang Fugui wanted his son to marry early. While he was still young and his cultivation low, it was the perfect time to have more children, which could help divert some of the fierce pressure from Ancestor Grandfather.
What?
Wang Baosheng was dumbfounded.
What do you mean by not needing to marry for alliances, so continue the family line early?
It turns out both father and son were thinking of having the other bear children to attract attention? No, no, he couldn't get married, he had to focus on his career and bear the family's responsibilities!
"No, no, I'm still young..." Wang Baosheng shook his head quickly, "I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children."
"Ancestor Grandfather said, if you don't have children and I don't have children, when will Wang's Clan rise?"
"Alright, you two stop pushing the responsibility onto each other. Neither of you can escape having children," Wang Anye waved his hand, changing the subject, "This trip to the Holy Domain, though there were twists and turns, there were some gains."
As he spoke, Wang Anye waved his hand, and several treasures filled with immortal energy appeared on the table, including two Immortal Scriptures and three Immortal Artifacts...
"Some gains?"
Wang Baosheng's eyes widened.
Great-grandfather, do you have to be so nonchalant? Such precious treasures, and you call them just "some gains"?
Back when he tried to secure an Immortal Scripture for his mother, how long did it take? And in the end, Great-aunt Liyao got it first.
In a daze, Wang Baosheng seemed to understand what Great-grandfather meant when he said that the burden of humanity should be shared, and no one should feel too pressured.
With a great-grandfather who casually picks up Immortal Scriptures, Wang Baosheng inexplicably felt a lot lighter... not so oppressed anymore...
Wang Fugui, having been in contact with Grandfather for a long time, was already used to his extraordinary and humble ways.
His eyes lit up slightly, "Are these two Immortal Scriptures meant for me and my sister?"
"It's also to discuss with you," Wang Anye said, pointing to the Immortal Scripture exuding an orthodox aura, "This Immortal Scripture is the 'Taiqing Immortal Scripture,' said to be one of the inheritances of the ancient 'Taiqing Xuanzong.' However, the Taiqing Xuanzong has long since vanished, likely perishing in the apocalyptic war... Finding the subsequent Holy Diagram might be difficult. Fugui, do you have any concerns about inheriting this Immortal Scripture?"
"That's not a problem. Although I have a wood-type bloodline, I feel an inexplicable affinity with the Taiqing Immortal Scripture, so the compatibility should be good," Wang Fugui smiled, "If I can find the Holy Diagram in the future, great. If not, I'll reference other Holy Diagrams and slowly carve out a Taiqing Holy Path, leaving behind a 'Taiqing Holy Diagram' for future generations."
In fact, such sequentially inherited Immortal Scriptures have an advantage over ordinary Immortal Scriptures: someone has walked the path before, proving there is a way. The minor deviations in the Immortal Scripture have been corrected, making it slightly easier to follow the Immortal Scripture and walk the Holy Path again.
Of course, this ease is only relative.
But walking the Holy Path is incredibly difficult. Even a slight reduction in difficulty is extremely valuable. After all, many times, the difference between success and failure is just that final push.
"Good ambition," Wang Anye nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, this Immortal Scripture is yours, and the contribution points will be deducted from your account."
With a wave of his hand, the Taiqing Immortal Scripture landed in Fugui's hands.
"Do you want the matching Taiqing Immortal Sword? You have priority," Wang Anye pointed to one of the three Immortal Artifacts, a sword filled with immortal energy, and asked Wang Fugui.
"Of course, I want the matching Immortal Sword," Wang Fugui nodded, "I have plenty of family contribution points, deduct them as you please."
Naturally, the Taiqing Immortal Sword belonging to Wang Fugui flew into his hands.
With a new master, the spirit artifacts of the Taiqing Immortal Sword and Taiqing Immortal Scripture were very happy.
Having been sealed in that relic for so long, waking and sleeping countless times, they didn't even know how much time had passed. Now that they finally found a new master, they were naturally delighted.
Not to mention, the new master seemed to have a high bloodline level, with a future full of potential.
"This 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture' is more suitable for women to cultivate, with extraordinary power and a beauty-preserving effect," Wang Anye called out the spirit artifact of the Yuhua Immortal Scripture for a self-introduction, then looked at Huari, "Die'er, according to the family cultivation sequence, you, Aunt Yinxuan, Luo Jing, Great-aunt Luo Qiu, and Great-aunt Li Ci all have the qualification to compete for it."
"However, I heard Great-aunt Li Ci already has an Immortal Scripture. As for Aunt Yinxuan and the others, they don't quite suit the Yuhua Immortal Scripture. What's your thought?"
Princess Huari immediately became excited.
This was an Immortal Scripture~ Finally, it was her turn.
However, after inquiring with the spirit artifact of the Yuhua Immortal Scripture, she hesitated, "Although the compatibility is adequate, it's just so-so. Moreover, for some reason, I feel like I'll regret inheriting this Immortal Scripture~~ This time in the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, I feel like something is calling me~~"
"In that case, give up the Yuhua Immortal Scripture. Forcing it won't bring happiness," Wang Anye pondered for a moment and decided for her, "Maybe you'll soon find the most suitable Immortal Scripture for yourself."
As soon as Princess Huari gave up, Wang Baosheng quickly said, "Great-grandfather, since Aunt doesn't want it, I want to fight for it for my mother. My mother is very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture!"
Wang Anye smiled, "Mengyu is indeed very suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture, but she's not the only one qualified in the sequence. There's also Great-aunt Luo Tong and Elder Mei. Even Worshipper Ji has made many contributions recently... However, Worshipper Ji's sequence needs to be pushed back a bit, as her bloodline is somewhat lacking~"
"Ancestor Luo Tong has a fiery temperament, and her profound skills and fighting style are domineering, not quite suitable for the Yuhua Immortal Scripture," Wang Baosheng pondered, "As for Elder Mei..."
Baosheng wasn't familiar with Elder Mei.
She was too mysterious, and she had made many contributions to Wang's Clan. Most importantly, he heard from Brother Baoguang that Elder Mei was actually Ancestor Grandfather's concubine... managing the mysterious organization Palace of Immortals, deeply loved by Ancestor Grandfather.
For a moment, Baosheng felt a headache, this wasn't easy to handle.
"No need to worry about Elder Mei," Wang Fugui smiled, "I talked to her recently, and she already has a future goal and will find a way on her own."
Is Elder Mei really that formidable?
Wang Baosheng also felt a deep respect, growing more in awe of the mysterious Elder Mei.
"In that case, there's no big problem with Mengyu taking the 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture.' However, the contribution points required for the Immortal Scripture are high, and the 'Yuhua Immortal Scripture' comes with two matching Immortal Artifacts: the 'Yuhua Immortal Fire Hood' and the 'Yuxian Ruyi.' Both are highly compatible with the Immortal Scripture, and it's not good to separate them," Wang Anye frowned slightly, "Mengyu's family contribution is probably far from enough."
Yun Mengyu had accumulated some family contributions over the years, but she was obsessed with watching movies and reading various scripts, spending most of her time outside of cultivation on these. It's easy to imagine her contribution points wouldn't be enough.
"My dad has them," Wang Baosheng immediately said.
Wang Fugui smiled, "Of course, I have no problem using my contributions to exchange for an Immortal Scripture for my wife. But Baosheng, didn't you always say you wanted to plan an Immortal Scripture for your mother, acting like a dutiful son, but in the end, you still rely on your dad?"
"......" Wang Baosheng blushed slightly, "I'm still young, my contribution points aren't enough. How about you lend me some, Father..."
"No lending, a father lending to a son is unreasonable. If you don't pay back, I can't do anything about it," Wang Fugui shook his head, "If you want to be filial, just owe the family contribution and pay it back slowly later."
"Alright," Wang Baosheng agreed without hesitation, "Anyway, I'm only in the Celestial Realm. With my ability, I can definitely pay it back in a hundred or two hundred years, and even exchange for one myself."
"Confidence is a good thing," Wang Fugui looked at him with appreciation, patting Baosheng's shoulder, "My Baosheng is not only capable but also a dutiful son, making me proud as a father."
"Thank you for the compliment, Father," Wang Baosheng was slightly excited.
From childhood to now, the number of times his father praised him could be counted on one hand. Most of the time, it was either advising him to relax and not be too competitive, or finding a reason to give him a beating.
Being too outstanding as a son is also a mistake.
"However, by planning an Immortal Scripture for your mother, you gain the reputation of a dutiful son," Wang Fugui suddenly changed the subject, sighing, "But doing so inevitably makes it seem like your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, your great-great-grandfather, and even your great-great-great-grandfather are all unfilial."
Wang Baosheng's face changed, and he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, quickly defending, "Dad, it's not what you think..."
Wang Fugui didn't give him a chance to finish, continuing with a smile, "But my Baosheng is capable. How about this, you can be filial for your father, your two grandfathers, your great-grandfather, your great-great-grandfather, and your great-great-great-grandfather. As for your great-great-great-great-grandfather, forget it, Ancestor Grandmother doesn't need you to worry. Plan Immortal Scriptures for all of them."
"What!? All of them for me to be filial to?" Wang Baosheng felt like he was struck by lightning.
He quickly calculated in his mind, his mother and aunt were already accounted for, and there were two grandmothers, two great-grandmothers, and one great-great-grandmother, totaling five more Immortal Scriptures!
Suddenly, life felt so pressured...
Wang Baosheng's eyes were brimming with tears.
"Any problem with being filial to your elders?" Wang Fugui looked at him with a smile.
"No, no problem..." Wang Baosheng wiped his tears resolutely, "I will definitely do it, five Immortal Scriptures, five Immortal Artifacts, not a single one will be missing."
"Alright, alright," Wang Anye finally couldn't stand it anymore, giving Fugui a glare, "Fugui, stop bullying Baosheng. Each of us will be filial to our own mothers, don't give Baosheng so much pressure."
Wang Fugui laughed heartily, patting Baosheng's shoulder, "My Baosheng is quite responsible, making your father very proud. But as your great-grandfather said, don't think you have to bear everything alone. Our whole family can share the burden, and there's nothing we can't accomplish."
"Dad, I..." Wang Baosheng.
"Alright," Wang Fugui interrupted him, his expression turning serious, "Do you look down on your father, thinking he's the world's number one playboy, unable to shoulder responsibilities?"
"No, no, Father is excellent, having made countless contributions to the family and humanity," Wang Baosheng sincerely admired his father.
"Then that's settled. If you ever feel pressured, don't keep it bottled up," Wang Fugui patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly, "As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers, father and son go to war together. Whatever happens, we'll face it together. Even if the sky falls, your father will hold it up first. Family is always your strongest shield, your most reliable harbor, remember that?"
"Yes, I remember," Wang Baosheng felt a warm sensation in his heart.
Hearing that his father would hold up the sky if it fell gave him a strong sense of security. The pressure and urgency that had shadowed him since birth seemed to dissipate significantly.
"When you go back, have a proper relationship, don't miss out on your youth. Remember, youth doesn't come again, and it's short-lived. Don't look back with no memories when you're old. Even though your taste is... unique, your father will forgive you."
"......" Wang Baosheng was dumbfounded.
Dad, should I thank you for your forgiveness?
Regardless of the turmoil in Wang Baosheng's heart, Wang Anye, seeing that Wang Fugui and Wang Baosheng had reached an agreement, handed over the "Yuhua Immortal Scripture" and its two matching Immortal Artifacts to Wang Fugui. When they returned, Wang Fugui and Wang Baosheng would pass them on to Yun Mengyu.
With these matters handled, one of Wang Anye's main tasks for this trip was complete.
Wang Fugui didn't delay, immediately recognizing the Taiqing Immortal Sword as his master, and then finding an empty room in the Moonlight Palace to inherit the "Taiqing Immortal Scripture."
The process of inheriting the Immortal Scripture was smooth, with no ripples during the baptism of heaven and earth essence.
Wang Fugui remained calm throughout, and after familiarizing himself with the Immortal Scripture, he began the monotonous and tedious task of treasure hunting.
The group had done similar work many times, and their cooperation was seamless. Without needing specific instructions, they smoothly fell into their roles.
The Red Abyss Demon Emperor, along with the two Immortal Lords, Di Xiu and Enlightenment, used their profound energy to protect the group as they slowly delved into the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, constantly shifting positions to cover different areas.
Wang Fugui, along with the Seven-Colored Glazed Treasure Tree Wang Bao Cai, activated their treasure aura, producing various glazed fruits on the branches.
The Tree of Fortune Wang Bao Fu used his innate divine ability to gather a red cloud representing fortune, enveloping Wang Anye and temporarily elevating his fortune to the highest level. Then, Wang Anye began the tedious task of opening fruit blind boxes.
"Damaged Dao Artifact, trash."
"A manual? Not bad."
"Oh, a large scale with a fierce aura, could it be an important scale of the Great Demon Lord Chilong? Take it back for the Artifact Refining Department to play with."
"Space crystal, nice stuff~"
One "trash" after another was collected after preliminary identification, sorted by value, and properly stored.
Everyone was already "skilled workers," their hearts unperturbed. Wang Baosheng, however, witnessing this scene for the first time, was dumbfounded, feeling his worldview was turned upside down.
In the past, when his father mentioned picking "trash" with Great-grandfather in the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss to supplement the household, he really thought it was picking trash, even imagining how hard it must be!
Little did he know, this was how they picked trash!
It was a challenge to his common sense.
In just a short while, the harvest was beyond "abundant." It far surpassed what he painstakingly earned from the Cultural Entertainment Office.
"Baosheng, are you shocked too?" Princess Huari patted her nephew's shoulder with a knowing smile, "Our family has too many prodigies. Compared to them, I feel too normal. You'll get used to it."
Prodigies?
Wang Baosheng nodded in agreement.
He knew his father and great-grandfather's life-bound semi-celestial plants, having attended clan school with them and interacted many times. But now that he was in advanced clan school, they naturally weren't together.
Before this, he never imagined semi-celestial plants could be used this way.
Compared to his father and great-grandfather's prodigiousness, Wang Baosheng suddenly felt quite "ordinary." Even his achievements with the Cultural Entertainment Office, established at nine, seemed insignificant in comparison.
But they were, after all, his family.
Quickly, Wang Baosheng accepted the reality of being an ordinary innate dao body.
Unconsciously, the heavy pressure on his shoulders seemed to lighten significantly, replaced by an unprecedented vitality and determination.
Having a gap isn't scary, as long as you work hard, you can slowly bridge it.
He was still young, with plenty of time to catch up.
While Huari and Baosheng chatted, Wang Anye continued to open "blind boxes" at a leisurely pace. As the "trash" accumulated, the number of good items gradually increased.
"Oh, a pair of double maces? Such strong energy, could they be a pair of Immortal Maces?" Suddenly, Wang Anye's eyes lit up with joy, "It's been a while since I found an Immortal Artifact."
In his hands appeared a pair of complete golden double maces.
The maces were ancient in design, with golden dragon patterns on the shafts, and the guards were crafted into roaring dragon heads, exuding an imposing aura.
A domineering and majestic dragon might spread from the maces, accompanied by a vast and boundless immortal spirit energy, clearly marking them as Immortal Artifacts.
Princess Huari's mind flashed with a name, instinctively blurting it out.
"Furious Dragon Double Maces?"
