Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 688 - 84: Li Yao’s Bloodline Promotes! Saint’s Contention (Ask for Monthly Tickets)_4

"You must understand, even among the Great Heavenly Proud, the difference in cultivation speed between those with Talent A-Grade and Talent C-Grade is enormous. You may take pride in being a Great Heavenly Proud, but you are merely a little better than the worst grade D, and merely a grade C.

If any issues arise during the cultivation process – for example, severe injuries that harm your lifespan – chances are you might expire before ascending to the Divine Power Territory."

The path of cultivation is a defiance of heaven, and the longer one cultivates, the more unexpected incidents may arise.

No one can guarantee that after becoming a Great Heavenly Proud, one will definitely break through to the Divine Power Territory. Throughout history, aren’t there countless Great Heavenly Prouds who have died before reaching the Divine Power Territory?

Seeing that the Master Primordial Water had spoken, Wang Liyao stopped resisting, bowed deeply before Master Tianhe, expressed her gratitude sincerely, then carefully swallowed half of the Ten Thousand Year Purple Ganoderma.

Soon, the surge from the herb’s potent energy spread out from her abdomen and the bloodline power within her body was activated instantly, boiling like a pot of heated water.

Her face turned white instantly, veins started bulging from her forehead and cold sweat dripped like rain.

Adding to that, the fragile capillaries in her nose burst right open, and the blood dripped down her nostrils.

This was due to the overwhelming medicinal potency and the overly active bloodline power creating an enormous shock to her body. Had her constitution been a bit weaker, she would have suffered injuries in that instant.

Upon seeing this, Master Tianhe immediately placed his palm on her back, pouring his Mysterious Energy into her continuously, to help her refine the potency of the Purple Ganoderma.

Only then did Wang Liyao start to regain her colour, and her expression was less pained.

Seeing this situation, Master Primordial Water tactfully retreated and sat at the entrance of the hall to guard them.

The disciple and master refined for a full month.

A month later, Master Tianhe heaved a sigh of relief and took his palm off Wang Liyao’s back.

At the same time, Wang Liyao finally opened her eyes.

From the beginning of the refining, she had been focusing all her attention within. There was no time to look after herself, even the dried blood on her upper lip was irritating.

Now that she had awakened, she felt uncomfortable all over. Her first reaction was to draw some Primordial Water Aura and cast a simple cleansing spell over herself.

"Junior sister, how do you feel?" Master Primordial Water also noticed the situation inside the hall and came forward to inquire conscientiously.

Wang Liyao closed her eyes and after sensing for a moment, a trace of joy appeared on her face: "I feel that my bloodline has greatly improved, it has ascended from the middle of the fourth blood vessel to the high part."

Ever since becoming a Great Heavenly Proud, each advancement in her bloodline was extremely challenging. The Spirit Pills used were getting higher and higher in grade, but the improvement in her bloodline was small, any progression made was extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, this semi-palm-sized portion of a seventy thousand year Purple Ganoderma made her bloodline increase one small level immediately.

"Good, good, very good!" Master Tianhe was also overjoyed. "The High Level Four is equivalent to the top quality Grade B bloodline talent; even among the Great Heavenly Proud, it’s considered high-ranking. As long as you cultivate well, you would have a good chance of winning in the ’Saint Child Competition’ a hundred years later."

"Saint Child Competition?" Master Primordial Water also brightened up, "How could I forget about that! After the ’Emperor’s Son Competition’, it’s the ’Saint Child Competition’. It’s about time for our Lingyun Sacred Land to choose a successor."

Wang Liyao had never heard Master Tianhe talk about these things before, and was somewhat confused, "I can understand why there is an ’Emperor’s Son Competition’ within the Imperial Household as they need to compete for the throne. But why is there a ’Saint Child Competition’ within the sacred land?

Shouldn’t it be that whoever first advances to the Transcendent Void Realm would inherit the sacred land?"

"Silly child~" Master Tianhe laughingly said, "Do you think the ’Emperor’s Son Competition’ is only about competing for the throne?"

"Is that really the case?"

Wang Liyao was truly baffled this time. Considering the reasons for the struggle for the throne were sufficient and justified, she had never thought about this matter before.

"Of course not." Enlightened One Tianhe gave an enigmatic smile and turned towards Master Yuanwater, "Yuanwater, explain it to your junior sister."

Wang Liyao immediately turned to Master Yuanwater with eyes full of curiosity.

Only at these times did she exhibit the characteristics expected at her age.

Master Yuanwater relished the rare opportunity of acting as a senior brother, answering and explaining queries. He cleared his throat and began, serious, "The ’Battle of the Emperors’ sons’ is not just about inheritance, but also about the opportunity to achieve the ’Transcendent Void Realm’."

Transcendent Void Realm!

Wang Liyao felt a jolt in her heart.

Of course she knew about the Transcendent Void Realm - a realm even more powerful than the Divine Power Territory. The current Great Qian Emperor Longchang Emperor, is a mighty figure of the Transcendent Void Realm, as is the current master of the Lingyun Holy Land.

According to legends, a Transcendent Void Realm expert not only possesses a lifespan nearing four thousand years, but also unparalleled, awe-inspiring power - the ability to turn the stars civil, reverse the course of rivers, and transmute seas into mulberry fields.

That is the dream of countless Profound Martial cultivators!

"The Great Qian Land has been passed through two generations, both ruled by Transcendent Void Realm powerhouses. This is no coincidence." Master Yuanwater was very satisfied with Wang Liyao’s astounded little expression, his tone growing more proud, "Only the higher-ups of our Lingyun Holy Land lineage and the Great Qian Imperial Household know about it.

It’s not a particularly significant secret, so telling you won’t hurt."

"The Great Qian Imperial Household holds a secret technique passed down from the Divine Martial Dynasty Era. This technique could advance the talent of a Profound Martial cultivator with Heavenly Chosen Talent, greatly enhancing their chances of becoming a Transcendent Void Realm expert."

"However, this secret technique has stringent usage conditions. It can only be used once every two thousand years. Moreover, due to its aggressive process, it requires its user to have reached the Purple Abode Realm and possess a bloodline no lower than sixfold. The ’Battle of the Saints’ is a competition for this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Wang Liyao could already understand mostly, "Does our lineage of Lingyun Holy Land also possess a similar secret method?"

"Your comprehension is astoundingly ice-lucid, junior sister." Master Yuanwater praised her, "Our Lingyun Holy Land lineage holds a high status within the Great Qian Land mainly because we possess a similar secret technique, ensuring a constant stream of Transcendent Void Realm successors."

Great Heavenly Prouds are rare, and they only have a higher probability of achieving the Divine Power Territory. To achieve the Transcendent Void Realm, another even higher level of talent is required, which is rather demanding to a perverse degree. Without special means, maintaining a constant succession isn’t as easy as one thinks, is it?

"I see."

Wang Liyao had an epiphany, her eyes suddenly becoming brighter.

Since the "Battle of the Saints" is about the opportunity to become a Transcendent Void Realm expert, then the significance is entirely different.

If she could become a Transcendent Void Realm powerhouse, the whole Changning Wang Clan would bask in her light and gain prestige, and they could behave unopposed within the entirety of the Great Qian. Her father’s ambition to strengthen the entire clan would also become easier.

Over at the Longzuo Academy, if she could become the successor of the Lingyun Holy Land, the status of the Academy would also consequently rise, becoming the preeminent academy after the Holy Land.

It appears, whether for the sake of her clan or the Longzuo Academy, she must vie for this opportunity.
