Chapter 745: Chapter 100: The Wang Family "Promoted" to a 6th Grade Noble Family

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

For the entire Daqian clan, a mere thirty years is but a fleeting moment.

However, at the level of the Changning Wang Family, thirty years is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.

In the spring of the 3215th year of Great Qianlong Chang. Since Wang Shouzhe crossed over, a total of seventy years have passed. From an 18-year-old vigorous young man, he has grown into an 88-year-old "mature young gentleman" in appearance.

This is no joke.

Due to his early advancement to the Spirit Platform Realm and even earlier advancement to the Celestial Human Realm, Wang Shouzhe’s appearance has hardly changed from when he was in his twenties. However, his temperament has become more gentle and refined, mature and steady.

Over the years, although the Wang Family has experienced some minor ups and downs, none caused major setbacks. Therefore, the Wang Family has been silently developing low-profile, steadily growing.

However, up to now, the Wang Family can no longer keep a low profile.

With two core members of the family, Wang Shouyong and Wang Luotong, both stepping into the Celestial Human Realm last year.

Taishi An Kang, the Commandery Governor of Longzuo County, could no longer bear the Wang Family’s strategy of keeping a low profile. In his words, Wang Shouzhe, are you planning to sneakily hold out until you rise to the fourth grade?

Especially now that the development of Qingluo Guard is at its end; if the Wang Family does not receive the honorary status of a Sixth-Grade Noble Family, how can they have the qualifications to guard a guard on behalf of the Imperial Court?

Immediately, Taishi An Kang, under the command of the governor, publicly announced that he had helped the Changning Wang Family apply for the elevation to a Sixth-Grade Noble Family, and it is said that the relevant department in the capital city has approved it.

The plaque of the Sixth-Grade Noble Family produced under the supervision of the Governor’s Mansion is also about to be delivered to the Wang Family to change the family name.

The truth cannot be concealed any longer.

After internal discussions, the Wang Family decided it was time to reveal some real strength to deter the greedy eyes on Xin’an Town’s interests and Qingluo Guard’s interests.

This time, a double Celestial Human Banquet was held for both Wang Luotong and Wang Shouyong, and the ceremony to elevate the family name was conducted simultaneously.

A family seeing the promotion of "double Celestial Human" in a short time is quite rare. After all, raising a Celestial Human Realm individual not only depends on talent but also requires adjusting the interval based on the benefits of the clan’s industry.

Most Seventh-Grade Noble Families would find it challenging to cultivate two Celestial Human species simultaneously, as the resource consumption is unsustainable.

Even for Purple Mansion Families, the cultivation progress of Celestial Human species is often controlled rhythmically, with most families spacing ten to twenty years to produce a Celestial Human Realm Elder, in order to maintain the total number of Celestial Human Elders in the family.

Thus, the joyful news from the Wang Family immediately caused a stir among the Six Southern Guards, and this wave of "news" spread throughout Longzuo County with the flying chariot, becoming a topic of conversation for countless people during their leisure moments.

A single stone stirs a thousand waves.

Meanwhile.

One of the Six Southern Guards, Zhenze Guard.

This guard is named Zhenze because it is located by the Great Wilderness Marsh, taking its name from guarding the Great Wilderness Marsh.

For a long time, the strongest family in Zhenze Guard has been the Zhenze Waang Family.

The first ancestor of the Waang Family, Wang Kuyuan, is a Celestial Human Realm Eighth Layer expert, always having the reputation of being the first Celestial Human late-stage ancestor in the Six Southern Guards. This ancestor remained low-profile and developed silently in his youth.

Until about fifty years ago, Wang Kuyuan made a breakthrough from the sixth layer peak to the seventh layer, after which he was no longer low profile and declared that Ancestor Kunyuan was actually of celestial pride.

All at once, Wang Kuyuan’s fame soared among the Six Southern Guards, and the name of the Zhenze Waang Family gradually spread within Longzuo County.

However, the Waang Family is ultimately just a strong Seventh-Grade Noble Family, reigning only within the scope of Zhenze Guard. With the resources of just one guard, it is truly difficult as heaven to elevate Ancestor Kunyuan to the Purple Mansion Realm.

In fact, even pushing Ancestor Kunyuan’s cultivation to the Celestial Human Realm Seventh Layer has caused internal turmoil within the Waang Family. Many younger generations have even been delayed in their prospects, missing the best time for cultivation.

Therefore, the best route for the Waang Family is to use the identity and strength of a late-stage Celestial Human pride to extend their influence among the Six Southern Guards. Plainly speaking, it is to seize the resources from the pots of other guards’ noble families.

Gathering the power of several guards might satisfy the resource abyss in Ancestor Kunyuan’s ambition to ascend to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Unfortunately.

Ancestor Kunyuan was born at a bad time.

When the Zhenze Waang Family extended their hand toward places like Changning Guard, they met with a rebound and counterattack from the Wang Family Marriage Alliance. After several secret struggles and confrontations, the Zhenze Waang Family retreated disconsolately.

Afterward, the Waang Family was shocked to hear that Wang Liyao of the Wang Family had become a disciple of the Divine Power Zhenren... Once Changning Wang Family flew to fame, the Waang Family suddenly became honest, not daring to make any further attempt at Changning Guard.

Later, during business expansion among other guards of the Six Southern Guards, the Waang Family was constantly squeezed by the marriage alliance led by the Wang Family, encountering one failure after another. This gradually led to the collapse of the Waang Family’s plan to take a shortcut to the Purple Mansion route.

Fifty years have passed, and the once high-spirited Ancestor Kunyuan, who had just advanced to the Celestial Human Realm Seventh Layer, barely managed to ascend to the Celestial Human Realm Eighth Layer!

Today, Ancestor Kunyuan is over 300 years old, and the road to the Purple Mansion is becoming increasingly distant.

Because of these reasons, naturally, the Zhenze Waang Family has an intense hatred for the Wang Family, but due to the growing power of the Changning Marriage Alliance, they can only swallow their resentment.

Of course.

This hatred is solely one-sided.

To the Changning Wang Family, they never really paid much attention to the Zhenze Waang Family, merely noting in the Wang Family Inheritance Records that in a certain year, there was some friction with the Zhenze Waang Family, ending in an unhappy separation.
