The rest of the Jiang Clan members also left one after another.
Soon, only Wang Shouzhe, Immortal Monarch Haoran, and Yun Tiange were left on the scene.
"If the Immortal Monarch has something to say, please speak." Wang Shouzhe knew that Immortal Monarch Haoran must want something, and said directly, "However, after listening, I cannot guarantee I will agree."
"Actually, this matter is quite beneficial to you, young master." Immortal Monarch Haoran sighed, his expression suddenly turning desolate, "Our Jiang Clanâs decline, I presume, has not escaped your astute eyes. To be honest, our Jiang Clan has encountered a major disaster."
Then, Immortal Monarch Haoran explained everything to Wang Shouzhe in detail.
It turned out that although the Immortal Clan Jiang was continuously going downhill, they could barely maintain themselves overall, using the clanâs power to barely manage the transitions between True Immortals, albeit with difficulty.
A hundred years ago, their Jiang Clanâs Immortal Seed had reached the seventh level of the Transcendent Void Realm and could become a True Immortal in at most a thousand years.
Everyone was hoping that the young and robust new True Immortal could rejuvenate the family; at the very least, continue the family legacy. Unexpectedly, a hundred years ago, Jiang Clanâs Immortal Seed encountered a catastrophe overseas.
He barely managed to escape back, but his injuries were critical, his True Spirit dissipated, and he died not long after.
"It was the Immortal Clan Wu of the Tianxing Sacred Dynasty. Their Immortal Seed was traveling with our Haoâer, adventuring out to sea. Together they discovered an ancient Little Heavenly Abode legacy site. Their family member took advantage of Haoâer, attacking him secretly. Fortunately, Haoâer had an ancestral life-saving talisman that barely allowed him to escape." Immortal Monarch Haoran was filled with unspeakable grief at the thought of that incident.
Wang Shouzheâs expression gradually became solemn: "Does the Immortal Monarch want me to avenge your family?"
"Not at all..." Immortal Monarch Haoran shook his head and said, "After our Haoâer died, the Immortal Scripture left his body, but at this time, the Immortal Scripture had not absorbed enough Immortal Spirit Qi from heaven and earth, and could not perform marrow washing and hair purification for the successor. According to our timing, economic, and other considerations, we could only select one Unparalleled Heavenly Child with Class C aptitude in the Divine Power Territory as the candidate for the Immortal Seed. Later, we tried every possible way to enhance his aptitude, barely reaching Grade B Unparalleled, still far from the Son of Heaven bloodline."
In fact, the vast majority of Immortal Clans with only one Immortal Scripture fear this situation the most. Once the True Immortal Seed who inherited the Immortal Scripture perishes midway, and the successor does not have the effect of Immortal Scriptureâs marrow washing and hair purification, elevating the aptitude to the Son of Heaven or Celestial Women level, the difficulty is extraordinarily high.
"As you know, young master, inheriting the Immortal Scripture without the Son of Heaven bloodline makes it very difficult to become a True Immortal before lifespan expires. Hence, we can only consider the Eleventh Grade Bloodline Dan medicine, the Sacred Manifestation Pill."
"The materials for the Eleventh Grade Sacred Manifestation Pill are extremely precious, always scarce in number, and the price is at least twenty or thirty Immortal Spirit Stones. Moreover, itâs generally used for Transcendent Void Realm cultivators to enhance their bloodline. For Divine Power Territory, it might..." Wang Shouzhe pondered and shook his head.
Si Wuyou, imprisoned in the Shenwu Immortal Palace dungeon, is a treasure. Wang Shouzhe has gained a lot of useful knowledge from him, serving as a contribution.
Of course, no matter how useful he is, Wang Shouzhe cannot let him out to ruin things now.
At the very least, only when the Divine Martial World has the ability to protect itself can Si Wuyou see the light of day again.
"Indeed, the Sacred Manifestation Pill is too overwhelming for Divine Power Territory. However, our Jiang Clan ancestors made contributions to the Sacred Dynasty, and thereâs still a favor with the Saint Emperorâs lineage. If we spend a bit more and ask the Saint Emperor to protect with all his might, thereâs about a thirty percent chance of success." Immortal Monarch Haoran sighed and said, "I hope we can succeed this time. Only then does our Jiang Clan have hope for continuation."
Wang Shouzhe was silent.
He certainly had the ability to protect, and the success rate could reach ten, but this is the Sacred Domain, and he would never lightly get involved here.
Moreover, itâs said that protection at the Saint Emperor level consumes a tremendous amount, often leading to more loss than gain. Under normal circumstances, the Saint Emperor would never come forward to protect.
"Young master, when our Haoâer escaped, he risked his life to bring back the only key to that ancient Little Heavenly Abode relic. Our Jiang Clan wishes to present this key to you." Immortal Monarch Haoran said while looking at Wang Shouzhe with a slight flattery, "I am already eight thousand six hundred years old, and I canât wait until the successor ascends to True Immortal and completes the True Immortal transition. I only ask the young master to protect the Jiang Clan as much as possible within his ability."
"..."
Wang Shouzhe frowned deeply.
He never thought that the Jiang Clan would bring him over for this purpose.
At once, he pondered and said, "Isnât the Tianxing Immortal Clan Wu reported to have two True Immortal Realms? They probably wonât let go of the Little Heavenly Abode relic and must be watching the relicâs location all the time."
"Yes, but if the young master can summon clan members, a mere two True Immortal Realms should be no problem, right?" Immortal Monarch Haoran said with a hopeful expression, "An unopened Little Heavenly Abode legacy relic like that likely contains Immortal Scripture legacies and might have Immortal Artifacts and other wealth."
Indeed, Immortal Scripture legacies are good things, but the fear is that the other party might have already set up a web just waiting for someone to fall into it.
Wang Shouzhe thought about it for a moment and eventually shook his head: "Iâm afraid Iâve disappointed Immortal Monarch Haoran. For this matter, the Immortal Monarch should consult others."
"What!?" Immortal Monarch Haoran was extremely shocked, "Young master doesnât care about Immortal Scripture and Immortal Artifacts?"
Of course, he cares.
Wang Shouzhe sighed quietly in his heart.
He too wishes to acquire that Little Heavenly Abode relic, to obtain another Immortal Scripture for the family and a bit more resources, but given the current situation of the Wang family and the Divine Martial World, itâs not something a few Immortal Scriptures can change.
What the Divine Martial World currently lacks the most are resources and time.
With ample resources and enough time, the Divine Martial World can gradually develop and grow stronger.
Therefore, stability is paramount at this stage.
If he were truly a young master from a noble family, going back to find a Sacred Supreme to play a game and pick up some items would be no problem, and no one would dare provoke him.
But Wang Shouzhe isnât just a counterfeit, heâs also very cautious with his life.
Joking aside, what is Wang Shouzheâs identity? He cannot afford to die!
This time coming to the Sacred Domain for business, for someone of his nature, is already considered a bold move. How could he risk his neck for an Immortal Scripture and potentially get caught up in a whirlpool?
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a danger.
Moreover, promising this matter would mean having to take care of the Jiang Clan, leading to various consequences. Once the Jiang Clan is without True Immortal protection, who knows how many people or factions will have designs on them, could Wang Shouzhe handle them all?
It would be better to farm diligently and develop quietly for a more peaceful life.
Of course, although he thinks this in his heart, he certainly canât say it out loud.
"The family isnât short of Immortal Scriptures or Immortal Artifacts. Having one more or less doesnât matter much." Wang Shouzhe said as if he didnât care at all, standing up calmly to bid farewell, "In half a year, my people will come to take over the Cloud Sea Whale Boat."
With that, he and Yun Tiange left gracefully.
Immortal Monarch Haoran was left standing there, staring dumbfounded at their departing figures, his long-held beliefs severely shaken.
Not short of Immortal Scriptures, having one more or less doesnât matter!
Itâs simply... like heâs lived these eight thousand six hundred years in vain!
