Protect Our Patriarch

...

Wang Shouzhe was generous, directly tossing the Immortal Spirit Stone to Emperor Longchang.

Emperor Longchang held the Immortal Spirit Stone with both hands, as if cradling a rare treasure, his eyes filled with fascination. "I never thought I'd have the chance to see an Immortal Spirit Stone in my lifetime."

Wang Shouzhe had heard of the Immortal Spirit Stone, but he didn't have the same deep appreciation as Longchang.

He asked curiously, "I know it's rare, but I didn't realize it was so rare that even Your Majesty hasn't seen it. Is it more precious than a Dao Artifact?"

"The Immortal Spirit Stone has many uses. For example, it can provide a boost of Immortal Qi to Lingxu Realm cultivators during their training, significantly increasing their cultivation speed. It also plays a huge role during breakthroughs," Emperor Longchang said with emotion. "But the Immortal Spirit Stone is too rare and expensive, so no Lingxu Realm cultivator would use it for training. Its greatest utility is assisting in the breakthrough to True Immortal at the peak of the Lingxu Realm."

"Dao Artifacts are certainly precious too, but once a Dao Artifact is crafted, it can be passed down, and theoretically, their numbers will only increase. However, Immortal Spirit Stones are consumables and are extremely useful to True Immortals, so their numbers will only decrease."

Wang Shouzhe nodded. "Xian'er and Kun'er are both Immortal Seeds. Using Immortal Spirit Stones can accelerate their growth, right?"

"Of course... but don't do it," Emperor Longchang quickly advised. "They're still young, and their current growth rate isn't slow. The Immortal Spirit Stone is extremely rare. The best time to use it is when Xian'er or Kun'er are breaking through from the twelfth to the thirteenth tier."

"Moreover, because Immortal Spirit Stones are also useful to True Immortals, if you hold one and ask a True Immortal for a favor, as long as it's not too difficult, you can basically get what you wish for."

"Alright, I'll hold onto it for now and use it as the situation demands," Wang Shouzhe nodded, though he was pondering that it might not be feasible to wait until they reached the twelfth-tier peak to use it; that would take too long.

"Shouzhe, don't be hasty and wasteful," Emperor Longchang advised again. "Don't think there are many Immortal Spirit Stones. Think about it: Blood Venerable was a True Immortal and only left one behind. How many True Immortal relics are there in the world for you to explore?"

"Your Majesty, since I've known you, this is the most like an elder you've ever sounded," Wang Shouzhe chuckled. "Rest assured, I won't use this one until I find a second Immortal Spirit Stone."

"Hmph!"

Emperor Longchang was so annoyed that he tossed the Immortal Spirit Stone back to Shouzhe.

He secretly resolved not to speak to Wang Shouzhe for at least three months this time.

Wang Shouzhe didn't mind his sulking and casually collected all the spirit stones and treasures.

Although he had quickly put the Divine Spirit Artifact storage ring "Hidden Sea" on his finger, he was still using "Endless Abyss" for now.

Storage rings need to be refined with divine sense and bound to one's soul, and only one can be bound at a time.

If not for this, one could wear several on a finger, even on toes, and string them into necklaces, belts, or other indescribable accessories... and have many necklaces and belts.

Wouldn't that turn someone into a walking arsenal?

Exaggerating a bit, if the Yun Yao flying boat traveling between the Great Qian and the Immortal Dynasty were filled with storage rings, how much could it carry in one trip?

Correspondingly, changing storage rings is also troublesome. Since only one can be bound at a time, to switch to another, the current one must be unbound first.

Moreover, before unbinding, the contents must be removed; otherwise, it becomes difficult to retrieve them after unbinding.

Wang Shouzhe's storage ring contained many items, and it was inconvenient to unbind it now, so he continued using Endless Abyss, planning to switch after returning home.

But enough of that.

Among the legacy left by Blood Venerable, there was a pile of Heavenly Recording Disks, containing his cultivation insights and diaries.

Initially, Wang Shouzhe was quite interested and watched for a while, but soon lost interest.

Blood Venerable was a fanatical bloodline technology geek. The original "Holy Gu Codex" was a proper Gu cultivation codex, and although some of the Gu were indeed unconventional, the overall method was relatively proper. Yet he forcefully developed the sinister Marrying Blood Gu.

However, despite its many drawbacks, if he had used it quietly himself, it wouldn't have caused much impact.

But he didn't.

He not only captured experimental subjects by any means, mass-produced Marrying Blood Gu, and conducted large-scale human experiments, creating a large number of Blood Nest Warriors, but also incited people, wildly promoting the heretical ideology of "creating a new humanity." If the Shenwu Royal Dynasty didn't ban him, who would they ban?

The Shenwu Royal Dynasty's official verdict of "crimes against humanity" was not unjust at all.

Even the originally proper "Holy Gu Codex" was declared a "heretical banned book."

Yet Blood Venerable himself was very unrepentant.

In his "diaries," he frequently expressed resentment and insults towards the Holy Emperor, using terms like "old dog Holy Emperor" and "old thief Holy Emperor" without hesitation.

Additionally, he often complained, "Why is your path the great path, and everyone else's path is heretical?"

In Wang Shouzhe's view, bloodlines can be researched, but not in such a reckless and large-scale manner. It must be done under supervision and regulation.

Before Wang Shouzhe transmigrated, humanity had already made considerable progress in genetic research. But if it weren't for the strict restrictions imposed by various countries, who knows how many mad scientists would have caused trouble, and what monstrous things they might have developed?

Blood Venerable, despite the benefits the Wang Clan gained from him, and his ultimate sacrifice in battle to protect humanity, had many theories and ideas Wang Shouzhe couldn't agree with.

Merits are merits, and faults are faults.

This guy was too extreme and too crazy.

If not for the restrictions and suppression by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who knows if he would have created a terrifying Blood Divine Dynasty, conducting large-scale human experiments at the slightest disagreement.

"Luojing, Blood Venerable's path can be studied and referenced, but not imitated. He was too extreme in his bloodline research," Wang Shouzhe advised earnestly. "I hope you can forge your own Lingxu path and True Immortal path in the future. It's okay to take it slow; our family will walk together, steadily."

"I only wish for our family to live peacefully, not to dominate the world or conquer the universe."

Wang Shouzhe was somewhat worried about Luojing, concerned she might go to extremes for power. After all, this girl had been quite extreme and aggressive since childhood, with deep thoughts. Often, he couldn't guess what Luojing was thinking.

In the entire Wang Clan, perhaps only he, the Fourth Brother, could make her listen.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, I'll listen to you," Wang Luojing nodded obediently. "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly. Besides, I'm only interested in being a spirit insect master, not in bloodline research."

"As for world domination or conquering the universe, if Fourth Brother is interested, I'll accompany you. If not, it's no big deal."

With that assurance, Wang Shouzhe felt relieved.

After all, the lesson of Blood Venerable was still fresh in his mind, and Wang Shouzhe didn't want Luojing to follow in his footsteps.

"Your Majesty, are you reassured now?" Wang Shouzhe smiled at Emperor Longchang. "Our Wang Clan, though benefiting from the Marrying Blood Gu, will never follow Blood Venerable's path of being anti-human and anti-society."

"Haha, I was just here to watch the fun, not because I didn't trust Shouzhe," Emperor Longchang said with some embarrassment after being exposed. "Your Wang Clan has always stood upright. Especially you, Shouzhe, with your calm and uncontentious nature, you would never develop in an anti-human direction."

"It's just that old Jiang Zhencang isn't familiar with you yet and is a bit uneasy, so he insisted I keep an eye on things."

"Understandable, understandable," Wang Shouzhe maintained his smile. "Holy Master Jiang is the master of the Holy Land, and the Holy Land's duty is to protect humanity. We Wang Clan will never claim the illegal technologies unearthed from the Blood Dawn Sanctuary as our own, nor will we delve into them."

Jiang Zhencang had likely sent Emperor Longchang to keep an eye on things, fearing Wang Shouzhe might be tempted and secretly conduct large-scale human experiments, gradually opposing the Immortal Dynasty.

Wang Shouzhe wasn't foolish.

His Changning Wang Clan had always been upright and clean, and now that the foundation was solid, as long as they developed steadily according to the established steps, the Wang Clan had a bright future.

He'd have to be out of his mind to fully embrace Blood Venerable's methods.

"Since Your Majesty has no doubts, please step aside for a moment. I have some private words to discuss with Luojing," Wang Shouzhe casually dismissed him.

"Hey~ Shouzhe, you're really not giving me any face," Emperor Longchang huffed, rolling up his sleeves. "With this attitude, you'll lose me, you know?"

"Calm down, Your Majesty. The siblings want to have a private conversation, and we shouldn't interfere," Old Yao said helplessly, pulling Emperor Longchang away from Blood Venerable's Secret Treasury while coaxing him.

Old Yao was exhausted; Shouzhe and the Emperor never seemed to get along.

Whenever they were together for more than a quarter of an hour, they would start bickering like cats and dogs.

It seemed they were naturally incompatible.

After leaving the treasury, Emperor Longchang was still fuming, muttering under his breath, "Old Yao, that brat Wang Shouzhe must be used to being a local tyrant. Seeing my majestic imperial demeanor, he's filled with envy and jealousy, which is why he's so confrontational."

"If it were my younger days with my fiery temper, I'd show him what 'Imperial Might' really means! Hmph, I'm only letting it slide because of Madam Ruolan."

Old Yao rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty, Master Wang Shouzhe just cleared your gambling debts. Can't you remember his kindness?"

"True. Fine, fine, since he's a wealthy man, I won't hold it against him," Emperor Longchang said, standing tall with an air of dignity.

One had to admit, when Emperor Longchang wasn't causing trouble, he did have the demeanor of an emperor, and his appearance was quite impressive.

"Grandpa Emperor," Wang Anye ran over quickly. "There are some huge pillars over there, and the clan's construction team doesn't have enough equipment to dismantle them. Could you lend a hand?"

A task!

Emperor Longchang's eyes lit up. "Will it clear some debt?"

"No problem, it can offset part of it," Wang Anye agreed readily.

"Good, good, dismantling a few pillars is simple," Emperor Longchang said, rolling up his sleeves and heading off with Wang Anye. As they walked, he said, "Anye, let me show you what 'Imperial Might' really is."

In no time, exclamations of amazement came from the Wang Clan's construction team.

"Truly worthy of an emperor, such strength."

"The Emperor's divine might, he dismantled such a huge pillar with his bare hands."

"If only I had Lingxu Realm strength, my efficiency in moving bricks would be so high, and I'd accumulate family contribution points so quickly."

With all the praise, Emperor Longchang worked even harder.

With everyone's efforts, it didn't take long for the Blood Dawn Sanctuary to be mostly dismantled, leaving only the Blood Sanctuary filled with Blood Nest Warriors.

The Blood Dawn Sanctuary was a typical Shenwu period architectural style, with a rather complex internal structure, multiple layers of walls, and a complicated array system. However, the Wang Clan was professional in "demolition," and with Ji Wuchen and Wang Anye, both proficient in arrays, everything was manageable.

Unknowingly, the Blood Venerable's relic was almost emptied.

The Ancestor Dragon of the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan was also stunned by the Wang Clan's "demolition" efficiency.

How many relics had they dismantled to achieve such proficiency?

Though the Ancestor Dragon had some opinions about the Wang Clan's "scraping the ground" behavior, considering they had left a "specimen" that could greatly enhance Wang Lilong's bloodline aptitude, he said nothing and let them be.

After all, the codices and instruments were useless to the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan.

Once everything was moved, the next step was the long process of assimilation.

...

Time quietly passed.

Some time later.

Changning Garrison, Xinping Town.

On a bustling street less than three miles from the port, stood a building full of ancient charm.

The entire building's style was extremely simple, yet grand and majestic. In the glow of the setting sun, the white columns, high arches, and the golden emblem with the family crest at the top of the building seemed to be enveloped in a golden-red halo, exuding a sacred aura.

Anyone familiar with architectural history would recognize that this building's style was once popular during the Shenwu Royal Dynasty.

Such architectural styles occasionally appeared in the Immortal Dynasty but were rare in the Great Qian, making this building particularly striking.

At the top of the building hung large characters, surrounded by small crystals connected to the hotel's array system.

Though it was dusk and the sky hadn't completely darkened, these crystals were already lit, emitting a brilliant colorful light, even more noticeable than during the day.

The characters read "Wang's Chain Hotel," with slightly smaller characters below reading "Xinping Branch."

Clearly, the identity of this building was evident.

Years had passed, and the once simple hotel built to host in-laws had grown significantly. Even the "Wang's Hotel" brand had evolved from a single hotel into a group company primarily focused on the hotel industry. Branches of Wang's Hotel had opened one after another.

This hotel in Xinping Town was one of the branches under Wang's Hotel.

At this moment.

In the hotel lobby, several women in hotel uniforms were at the customer service center, smiling as they checked in new guests.

Among them, one woman's demeanor was particularly striking. At first glance, she seemed like a delicate flower in water, evoking a sense of pity and tenderness.

This woman was none other than Qing Ji, who hadn't been seen for a long time.

As one of the trusted disciples under the Red Enchantress Demon Envoy, Qing Ji's psychological resilience was quite strong. Although she was initially flustered, after realizing her master couldn't attend to her for the time being, she quickly regained her composure, adapting to her new identity, posing as a "fallen noble lady" while quietly gathering information about her surroundings.

Over time, she gradually got used to it.

Efficiently registering a client and handing over the room key, she moved on to the next one with practiced ease.

Unknowingly, night had fallen completely, and the hotel's foot traffic had dwindled, leaving only a few people checking in.

Finally, Qing Ji had a moment to relax and couldn't help but rub her cheeks.

Smiling all day had nearly made her face stiff.

"Tired?" a concerned colleague asked, reminding her, "It's almost time to clock out. Hurry and grab something to eat, and head to night school early. If you're late, you won't get a good seat."

With this reminder, Qing Ji remembered she had a tough battle ahead tonight.

She nodded solemnly, not bothering with pleasantries. "Alright, I'll head out."

After tidying up, she left the hotel, quickly found something to eat, and returned.

The so-called "night school" was actually a "basic training class" set up by the Wang Clan to help new "migrant workers" adapt to the environment. Since it was usually held at night, it was habitually called "night school."

Since she worked at the hotel, she naturally attended the hotel's "night school."

The night school covered various topics, including job training for hotel positions, basic "literacy classes," and occasionally "vocational competitions" and "basic knowledge contests." Achieving good results in these competitions often came with rewards, sometimes cash, sometimes material, and sometimes promotions and raises.

Qing Ji arrived relatively early.

When she got there, only a few people were seated in the room. As a result, she immediately noticed a familiar figure—Zi Ji.

Compared to her own polished appearance in a professional suit, Zi Ji's situation was much worse. She wore a gray robe for hotel back-office staff, durable but not particularly attractive.

Her once spirited face now looked a bit gloomy.

"What's wrong, Little Zi? Had a rough day?" Qing Ji glanced at her and then looked away, using divine sense to communicate, her tone teasing.

The hotel had one advantage: the strongest person here was only at the Celestial Realm, so she could use divine sense communication without worrying about being discovered.

"How could it be smooth?" Zi Ji's brow twitched, replying in a low voice, "You're comfortable, just sitting at the front desk doing registrations and accounting. Unlike me, I have to tidy up over a hundred rooms every day, so busy I barely have time to breathe."

It wasn't that she minded the work, given her Purple Mansion Realm physique, the physical exertion was negligible. But having climbed from the bottom of the Demon Dynasty to the Purple Mansion Realm, she was used to being served, not serving others.

Serving her master at least came with benefits, but now what? Those in the Lingtai Realm, Qi Refining Realm, or even ordinary people with no cultivation, what could they offer her?

Moreover, the Wang Clan really had issues.

A hotel this luxurious allowed ordinary people without cultivation to stay, and even the rooms for ordinary people used glass lamps, glass tableware, and silk bedding. Did those people deserve it?

The only consolation was that she didn't have to wash the sheets and covers herself.

The Wang Clan's refining tools were truly useful. They only needed to send the dirty sheets and covers in, and they would be washed and dried. They just had to fold them. If she had to wash those sheets and covers herself, she'd go crazy.

"Who told you to dismiss the Wang Clan's materials as useless and not study them properly?" Qing Ji, seeing Zi Ji's frustration, felt no sympathy and even sneered inwardly. "If you'd put in a little effort like I did, you wouldn't be in this situation."

As fellow trusted disciples of the Red Enchantress Demon Envoy, Qing Ji and Zi Ji's relationship was naturally not harmonious. Competing for their master's attention and favor, they often clashed.

Now, with both trapped in enemy territory and no one else to trust, Qing Ji's words were slightly more restrained. In the past, she would have mocked and ridiculed her mercilessly.

"Hmph~ don't get too complacent," Zi Ji huffed, "Those things aren't hard. If I start studying now, I can catch up. The tutor even praised me last time. It won't be long before I'm transferred to work in the lobby."

Once she surpassed Qing Ji, she'd have her chance to mock her!

"Alright~ take your time," Qing Ji chuckled inwardly, but recent events quickly wiped the smile off her face.

She asked Zi Ji, "Have you contacted our master?"

"No," Zi Ji's face showed worry at the mention. "I managed to connect with Yu Ji while out shopping, but she hasn't heard from our master either. She said she went to the Great Swamp with Wang Anye and hasn't been heard from since. Who knows what's going on."

She wasn't worried about their master being in danger, but the uncertainty of not being able to contact her was unsettling.

They couldn't possibly stay in the Wang Clan's hotel, working for them indefinitely, could they?

The two dry gold salary from the Wang Clan wasn't enough for anything. In the Demon Dynasty, it wouldn't even cover a meal.

As they conversed, others in the room were chatting about daily trivialities, from what they ate today to which shop in town had the best and cheapest rouge, and which young master was the most handsome and well-mannered.

Suddenly, the topic shifted to Wang Anye.

"Young Master Anye is out again. Who knows how long he'll be gone this time. If it's like before, when he was gone for months, it'll be ages before we see him again," a female employee sighed dreamily. "I still remember when Young Master Anye inspected the hotel. He was so handsome and gentle, the epitome of a noble young master. I wonder when he'll come again~~"

"Stop drooling," her colleague chided, "The tutor's coming. If he sees you like this, he'll think you're a psycho."

"Hmph~" the employee retorted, "You just don't appreciate how outstanding my Young Master Anye is. I've heard from the 'Protect the Best Young Master Anye in the World' group that Young Master Anye discovered another remarkable ancient relic in the Great Swamp."

"A sister from the family guards passed on a message that a batch of elite guards was sent to the Great Swamp, and even some top-ranking elders were dispatched. It must be a major discovery. Maybe it's a True Immortal relic~"

Her colleague was stunned, retorting, "You're exaggerating. If it were true, would you know?"

"You don't understand. Our group has many capable sisters," the employee boasted, "Like Sister Mei, she's amazing, with wide information channels and the ability to deduce the truth from subtle clues. No matter how deeply hidden, she sees through it with her fiery eyes."

What?! A True Immortal relic?!

Qing Ji and Zi Ji were dumbfounded.

Though they were communicating through divine sense, they were also paying attention to their surroundings. Hearing this conversation, they couldn't help but question their reality.

Were ordinary people's intelligence networks really this powerful these days?

"Sister, is what you said true?" Zi Ji immediately inquired, "Is your group's sister really that amazing?"

"Of course. Let me tell you, our group has many talented people. If you like Young Master Anye, you can join us and help protect the best Young Master Anye in the world," the employee said, excitedly sharing her information.

As she spoke in detail, listing many pieces of evidence, it all seemed very credible.

Zi Ji and Qing Ji, who was eavesdropping, went from skeptical to convinced.

What True Immortal relic could be near Longzuo Commandery? If Wang Anye indeed found something significant, what else could it be but the Blood Venerable's relic?

If true, this was a major achievement!

They had to report this news immediately!

Normally, they should inform their master, the Red Enchantress Demon Envoy, first, who would then relay it. Only their master had a stable channel for fast communication.

Moreover, bypassing their master to report would mean stealing her credit, and if discovered, she wouldn't spare them.

But the situation was urgent, and their master wasn't around, leaving them no choice.

They exchanged glances, then, as if competing, quickly retrieved a jade talisman from their storage rings, imprinting the information with divine sense before crushing it without hesitation.

Their hands moved so fast, they almost left afterimages.

In such moments, speed determined credit.

Any notion of camaraderie was secondary. The master's rewards were paramount!

The jade talisman they crushed was a sub-talisman from a set given by their master before departure. Each had only one, and once crushed, it transmitted the message to the master's main talisman.

But these were precious consumables, and once the sub-talismans were used, the main talisman became useless.The Ancestor handed the talisman to them just in case, and specifically emphasized that it should not be used without significant intelligence. If they dared to use it for ordinary information, she would consider it their last words.

However, the Wang Clan's suspected discovery of the Blood Venerable's lair was too important. The Ancestor would certainly not blame them once she knew, and if she was in a good mood, she might even give them a huge reward.

Thinking of this, the two women couldn't help but exchange glances, sparks flying in their eyes.

At the same time.

At the classroom door, the "teacher" holding the teaching materials noticed their actions, his eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The family head was indeed prescient.

These two demonesses really don't seem too bright.

With their cooperation, the Yin Snake Demon Concubine would probably receive the news soon.

She didn't believe that after knowing this news, the Yin Snake Demon Concubine could still sit still!

...

Meanwhile.

In the main residence of the Wang Clan, three individuals were undergoing or about to undergo significant transformations.

The first to transform was, of course, Wang Luojing.

She was like someone sitting at home when a pie fell from the sky, inexplicably having a codex fall on her head.

To maximize her benefits, Wang Shouzhe used a high-level Marrying Blood Gu and a high-level essence version Marrying Blood Gu, respectively from a Purple Mansion Realm Blood Nest Warrior and a Divine Realm Blood Nest Warrior.

The previous titles they used, "Marrying Blood Gu King" and "Marrying Blood Gu Emperor," were not official names.

When the Blood Venerable developed these Marrying Blood Gu, they were modeled after the Shenwu Royal Dynasty's bloodline enhancement liquid, named "Basic Marrying Blood Gu," "Intermediate Marrying Blood Gu," "Advanced Marrying Blood Gu," etc.

Wang Luojing's original bloodline was at the mid-level of the great prodigy B-grade, only considered second-tier in the family cultivation sequence.

But with Wang Shouzhe's assistance, after she absorbed the power of the two Marrying Blood Gu, her bloodline improved significantly, reaching the peak of the sixth level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

In conversion, it was the peak of the great prodigy A-grade.

The reason she couldn't reach the unparalleled level was that she had already advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, and her bloodline had already evolved to the sixth level, suffering a significant loss in overall efficiency.

The higher the bloodline evolution level, the harder it is to improve the bloodline.

If she were still at the Celestial Realm, with these two Marrying Blood Gu, her aptitude would definitely reach the unparalleled level.

But this was unavoidable, as the older generation of the family were "pioneers," walking paths that the ancestors had never walked before, unlike the children in the family who had ample experience to refer to for every age and cultivation level.

Time was precious, and Wang Luojing couldn't suppress her cultivation for a vague possibility. If she did, it would be endless suppression.

After all, after the "innate spiritual body," there is the "innate dao body," and beyond that, there might be even higher innate bloodlines.

When the cultivation level is reached, one must advance.

Members of the older generation like Shouzhe could only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, the [Holy Gu Codex] was inherently excellent, considered a half-step Immortal Scripture, with more and purer accumulated world origin energy than ordinary codices.

After Wang Luojing successfully inherited the [Holy Gu Codex], she got another chance for a cleansing transformation, successfully breaking through to the sixth level of the Great Saint Body, reaching the mid-level of the Great Saint Body C-grade.

Based on previous intelligence analysis, with the complete codex, Wang Luojing's future path to divine abilities and the Void realm was already open to her.

As long as resources weren't too tight, a mid-Void Realm future was inevitable, and with more effort and some opportunities, even the late Void Realm was within reach.

As for the True Immortal Realm, that was not something to hope for at the moment.

Wang Luojing, having inherited the Holy Gu Codex, could now officially wield it.

After a brief study, Wang Luojing needed to do two things.

The first task was to assist Wang Lilong in reintegrating the Ancestor Dragon's bloodline, extracted by the Blood Venerable, back into her body to enhance Wang Lilong's Yuan Shui Azure Dragon bloodline.

The Ancestor Dragon's innate bloodline was powerful, although slightly inferior to an Immortal Seed, it was incomparable to the relatively thin bloodline of the current Yuan Shui Azure Dragon lineage.

There were difficulties.

But fortunately, the Wang Clan still had Wang Shouzhe and Wang Lixian, two beings with extremely powerful life talents.

Especially Wang Shouzhe, with his life origin talent, his bloodline talent was significantly higher than Wang Lixian's.

With their assistance, even though Wang Lilong experienced extreme pain during the process, feeling as if her dragon meridians and veins were being crushed, she could be saved.

The results were very gratifying.

Ultimately, Wang Lilong successfully crossed the tribulation, and the purity of her Yuan Shui Azure Dragon bloodline was incomparable to before.

The Ancestor Dragon of the Southern Desolate Swamp, along with several ninth-level elders and Ao Longtian, waited outside the Stay Immortal Residence for half a month.

After Wang Lilong advanced her bloodline and emerged from the Stay Immortal Residence, slightly weakened, the Ancestor Dragon rushed up: "Long'er, how did it go?"

"Though there were setbacks, it was ultimately successful." Wang Shouzhe caressed his beloved daughter's dragon head with a look of satisfaction.

The Ancestor Dragon's expression was joyful, and after a brief check of Lilong's bloodline, he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, truly heaven blesses our Yuan Shui Azure Dragon lineage."

"Lilong, from now on, you are the little princess of our Yuan Shui Azure Dragon lineage. When you grow a bit more, I'll pass on the legacy to you, so you can lead the Yuan Shui Azure Dragon clan."

Ao Longtian's dragon face turned black, "Ancestor Dragon, what about me?"
