Chapter 1166 - 1166 92 Change of the Saintess Shou Zhe

Chapter 1166: Chapter 92: Change of the Saintess! Shou Zhe Stirring the Clouds and Raining (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3 Chapter 1166: Chapter 92: Change of the Saintess! Shou Zhe Stirring the Clouds and Raining (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3 This is precisely the Sacred Insect that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Sacred Insect Clan—the “Heavenly Silkworm.” It is said that the Heavenly Silkworm will be reborn after death and, under the breeding and sacrificial cultivation of the current Saintess or Gu Saint, swiftly reach Level Nine Gu Bug status.

It’s for this reason that the inheritance of the Sacred Insect of the Sacred Insect Clan has never been interrupted.

And not far behind Saintess Dai, a young woman also dressed in a dark Gu Master’s gown, was quietly listening with her head slightly bowed, without uttering a word.

She was none other than the fifth sister of Wang Shouzhe, the current Clan Leader of the Changning Wang family—Wang Luo Jing.

Wang Luo Jing’s stature was slightly petite and delicate, and her handsome yet pure face was more cute than seductive. If she were moved to Earth and made up slightly, she would undoubtedly resemble a junior or senior high school girl.

But in truth, she was already 125 years old. Precisely because her cultivation speed was relatively fast, her bodily functions had remained in a very youthful state.

Since winning numerous achievements in the Divine Martial Dynasty Rookie Training Camp, elevating her bloodline to the Middle Segment of the Second Rate Supremacy, Wang Luo Jing’s cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds.

Now, her cultivation base had already been elevated to Level Eight of the Heavenly Human Realm, and reaching the Purple Abode Realm was just a matter of time.

Her mentality was different from that of the Barbarian Gu Clan people; she was not willing to tattoo various markings on her body to increase her combat power.

“Luo Jing.” Saintess Dai turned to look at Wang Luo Jing, a strange light fleeting through her profound eyes, “Do you know why I am willing to support you as the next Saintess?”

“Reporting to the Saintess.” Wang Luo Jing spoke softly, “It’s because you regard my late Master, Zhou Chang Feng, with respect,”

“No, when I was still a Quasi-Sacred Maiden, even accepting Chang Feng of the Daqian people as my disciple had already exposed me to great criticism. Little did I expect that once Chang Feng had a bit of strength, he took advantage of my closed-door retreat for the Magical Power Inheritance, and with the covert assistance of the rebel Wabak, he stole half of my ‘Sacred Gu True Method.'” Saintess Dai said with a sigh, “This also caused me to rush into a fit of fury, leading to a failure of half the inheritance. He is the chief culprit who has prevented me from breaking through to the Divine Power Territory to this day. As such, despite being only a little over six hundred years old, I have to pass on the inheritance.”

“Logically, I should never forgive him in this lifetime. Yet his last letter before death did spell out the reasons, and he lived in decline all his life because of it, even failing to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, as a way to atone for his sins.”

“The fact that I can forgive him and accept you into my sect is already very magnanimous.”

Wang Luo Jing said calmly, “What you mean, Your Excellency Saintess, is…?”

“Just like the story I just told.” Saintess Dai said with a sigh, “Our Sacred Insect Clan is currently facing the same predicament that our ancestors experienced.”

“The only difference is that our ancestors faced poisonous insects and fierce beasts. Now, however, we are faced with the even more powerful Da Qin and Daqian. Da Qin is not that big of an issue for the time being, as their territory border is separated from our Sacred Insect Clan by miasma-ridden mountains, but sooner or later, they will expand here.”

“Daqian, on the other hand, is extremely warlike, expanding its territory and strength very quickly. Especially this generation’s Emperor Longchang, whose ambition for expansion is great, has already annexed the most fertile land of our Sacred Insect Clan and yet he is not satisfied, still trying to conquer us completely.”

“Every time we resist, at least hundreds of thousands of our fine clan members die on the battlefield.”

Wang Luo Jing was silent, her heart bearing some sympathy for the Sacred Insect Clan. But the rules of this world were such that the strong would constantly expand their territory, conquering or annexing the weak.

The current vast expanse of Daqian’s territory was indeed fought for, piece by piece. In fact, if Daqian cannot become stronger, it will eventually be jointly annexed by South Qin and West Jin.

“Luo Jing, the reason I support you as the Saintess is not only because of the letter you brought from Zhou Chang Feng, but also because of another letter from Wang Shouzhe of your Wang family,” Saintess Dai said calmly, “Just as the Sacred Insect Clan was transformed by the arrival of Lord Gu Saint at the most critical moment, the Sacred Insect Clan is now at a point where change is inevitable.”

“Your Wang family and the current Emperor Zi’an are indeed different from Emperor Longchang and other Daqian people. They have kept their promises, and in just a few decades, they have brought earth-shaking changes to the Sacred Insect Clan, which gives me hope for a real way out for the future of our clan.”

“Your Excellency Saintess, I understand,” Wang Luo Jing said calmly, “Rest assured, both my fourth brother and I will bring about rebirth for the Sacred Insect Clan in our respective roles, ensuring long-lasting peace, as well as joint prosperity and development.”

Saintess Dai nodded her head.

In fact, over these decades, she had not been idle, consistently paying attention to the significant changes the Wang family had brought to the Sacred Insect Clan. Moreover, many of the Gu Masters who went to “work” for the Wang organization were her people.

Through them, she painstakingly learned about Wang Shouzhe’s past deeds. Fortunately,

the reputation of the Wang family and Wang Shouzhe was very good, always taking their allies along in development and effort.

Similarly, Emperor Zi’an’s prestige and credibility were also excellent, which reassured her greatly.

It was these various reasons that made Saintess Dai determined, uniting with several heavyweight elders, to ultimately support “Quasi-Sacred Maiden Jing” as the next generation’s Saintess, leading the Sacred Insect Clan towards a new future.

Had the one executing this plan been Emperor Longchang or Kang Commandery Prince, she most likely wouldn’t have dared to make such a bold bet. Wang Shouzhe was right; before Emperor Longchang’s death, there must be a battle between the Sacred Insect Clan and Daqian, and by then, it wouldn’t end well.
