Chapter 688: Chapter 84: Liyao’s Bloodline Advancement! Struggle for the Saint Son (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_4

"Even for the Great Celestial Pride, the difference in cultivation speed between Talent Grade A and Talent Grade C is like heaven and earth. Don’t be fooled by your status as a Great Celestial Pride; you are merely a little better than the worst Grade D, as a Grade C. Any problems during cultivation, such as severe injuries reducing your lifespan, might cause you to run out of lifespan before breaking through to the Divine Power Realm."

The path of cultivation defies the heavens, and the longer one cultivates, the more unforeseen accidents may occur.

No one can guarantee that becoming a Great Celestial Pride will certainly lead to a breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm. Historically, have there been few Great Celestial Prides who died young before reaching it?

Seeing Yuan Shui Ascendant speak in this manner, Wang Liyao put aside her modesty, bowed deeply to Celestial River Zhenren in gratitude, then carefully took a small piece of 70,000-Year-Old Purple Ganoderma and ingested it.

Soon, a surging medicinal power swept from her abdomen, instantly activating her bloodline power, which began to boil like boiling water.

Her face turned pale, veins popped on her forehead, and cold sweat dripped like rain.

Even her fragile nasal capillaries burst, and a nosebleed trickled down her nostrils.

This was due to the excessively strong medicinal power and overly active bloodline energy, causing great impact on her body. If her constitution were any poorer, she would have been injured.

Seeing this, Celestial River Zhenren immediately placed his palm on her back, continuously channeling his Profound Qi into her body to help her refine the ganoderma’s medicinal power.

Wang Liyao’s complexion improved significantly, and her expression became less pained.

Seeing this, Yuan Shui Ascendant sensibly stepped out, sitting by the hall’s entrance to protect the two.

The master and disciple refined the power for a whole month.

A month later, Celestial River Zhenren exhaled deeply and withdrew his hand from Wang Liyao’s back.

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

Since refining began, she had been focused entirely on her inner self, having no time to care for herself, and the dried nosebleed stuck on her upper lip, causing discomfort.

Upon awakening, she felt uneasy, and her first reaction was to summon a stream of Primordial Water Spiritual Qi to perform a simple Cleaning Technique on herself.

"Junior Sister, how do you feel?" Yuan Shui Ascendant noticed the situation in the hall and approached with concern.

Wang Liyao closed her eyes to sense, a look of delight appearing on her face: "I feel my bloodline has improved significantly, rising from the Fourth Layer mid-stage to the Fourth Layer high stage."

Since becoming a Great Celestial Pride, each enhancement in bloodline talent was extremely difficult, with increasingly high-level spirit pills used, yet the bloodline tier barely rose, every slight progress demanding great effort.

No one expected this palm-sized piece of 70,000-Year-Old Purple Ganoderma to instantly enhance her bloodline by a small tier.

"Great, great, great!" Celestial River Zhenren was overjoyed, "Fourth-Layer High Stage, that’s Top Grade B bloodline talent, even among Great Celestial Prides it’s upper tier. With diligent cultivation, in a hundred years, participating in the ’Struggle for the Saint Son’ would hold considerable chances."

"Struggle for the Saint Son?" Yuan Shui Ascendant’s eyes lit up, "How could I forget about that! After the ’Struggle of the Imperial Sons’ comes the ’Struggle for the Saint Son’; our Lingyun Sacred Land must also choose a successor."

Wang Liyao had never heard Celestial River Zhenren mention these matters, finding it somewhat hard to understand: "I could understand the royal family having a ’Struggle of the Imperial Sons’ for the throne, but why does the Saint Land have a ’Struggle for the Saint Son’? Shouldn’t it be whoever advances to the Lingxu Realm first inherits the Saint Land?"

"Silly child~" Celestial River Zhenren was amused yet helpless, "Do you think the ’Struggle of the Imperial Sons’ is merely for the throne?"

"Isn’t it?"

Now Wang Liyao was truly puzzled. The reason for vying for the throne seemed so ample and obvious that she never questioned it before.

"Of course not." Celestial River Zhenren smiled mysteriously, then looked at Yuan Shui Ascendant, "Yuan Shui, why don’t you explain it to your junior sister."

With a thirst for knowledge, Wang Liyao immediately turned her gaze to Yuan Shui Ascendant.

It was only at times like this that she acted her age.

Feeling the rare privilege of being a senior brother providing guidance, Yuan Shui Ascendant cleared his throat seriously and explained: "’Struggle of the Imperial Sons’ contends not just for inheritance but also the chance to achieve the ’Lingxu Realm’."

Lingxu Realm!

Wang Liyao was startled inwardly.

She naturally knew the Lingxu Realm, a realm even more powerful than the Divine Power Realm. The current Emperor Longchang of Daqian Kingdom was a Lingxu Realm powerhouse, as was the current master of Lingyun Sacred Land.

Legends say that a Lingxu Realm powerhouse possesses nearly four thousand years of lifespan and such formidable power to reverse stars, turn rivers backward, and transform oceans into mulberry fields.

It’s the dream of countless Black Tortoise Cultivators!

"Daqian Kingdom has seen two generations, both emperors were Lingxu Realm powerhouses; this is no coincidence." Yuan Shui Ascendant was pleased with Wang Liyao’s expression of surprise, growing even more proud, "This matter is known only to the high ranks of our Lingyun Sacred lineage and the Daqian Imperial Family, but it’s not such a big secret—no harm in letting you know."

"In the hands of the Daqian Imperial Family, there’s a secret technique passed down from the Divine Martial Dynasty, able to elevate a Black Tortoise Cultivator with Great Celestial Pride talent to a higher level, significantly increasing their chance of becoming a Lingxu Realm powerhouse."

"However, this secret technique has stringent conditions. It can only be used once every two thousand years, and because of its domineering process, it requires the user to have reached the Purple Mansion Realm, with a bloodline tier no less than the Sixth Layer. The ’Struggle for the Saint Son’ contends for the chance to use this secret technique."

Upon hearing this, Wang Liyao largely understood: "Do we at Lingyun Sacred Land also have a similar secret technique?"

"As expected, Junior Sister, you are incredibly smart." Yuan Shui Ascendant praised her, "The reason our Lingyun Sacred Land has such a revered status in Daqian is because of similar secret techniques that ensure the continuous inheritance of the Lingxu Realm."

The Great Celestial Pride is exceptionally rare, providing a relatively high probability of achieving the Divine Power Realm, but achieving the Lingxu Realm demands an even higher talent tier, extremely stringent. Without special methods, how could continuous inheritance be maintained?

"So that’s how it is."

Wang Liyao suddenly realized, her eyes lighting up.

Since the ’Struggle for the Saint Son’ is for the chance to become a Lingxu Realm powerhouse, the meaning is entirely different.

If she can become a Lingxu Realm powerhouse, everything else aside, the entire Changning Wang Family could rise with her, moving unchallenged throughout Daqian in the future. Her father’s ambition to strengthen the entire clan would become much easier.

As for Longzuo Academy, if she becomes the Lingyun Sacred Land’s successor, Longzuo Academy’s status would rise and become the foremost academy beneath the Sacred Land.

It seems, whether for her family or Longzuo Academy, she must compete for it.
