Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker
Chapter 44: The Depths of the Dynasty’s Waters

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Depths of the Dynasty’s Waters

"It is said that the Seven Martial Sect is called the Seven Martial Sect because it was jointly founded by seven powerful figures. I wonder if it’s true."

Qin Chuan asked.

Elder Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, we have seven Ancestral Masters in the Seven Martial Sect."

"Do you know the identities and origins of these seven individuals?" Qin Chuan continued to ask.

"That, I do not know."

Elder Wu frowned and said, "In fact, we know very little about the seven Ancestral Masters because too little information has been passed down."

"They left behind many cultivation techniques and a vast inheritance, but they did not lead the sect to develop."

"The growth of the Seven Martial Sect actually began with the disciples of the Ancestral Masters. Those ancestors were extraordinarily talented and worked diligently, gradually creating the prosperous scene of the Seven Martial Sect."

"As for the seven Ancestral Masters, they seemed to have disappeared after the sect set on the right track."

"People speculate that they went into seclusion, and now over three thousand years have passed, they are most likely long gone..."

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they are still alive. I heard that a martial artist reaching the Saint Realm can live for thousands of years."

"Hehe, maybe."

Elder Wu laughed and shook his head, but inwardly did not hold any expectations, considering it a sweet fantasy.

Cultivation, how could it be so easy?

Countless unparalleled prodigies have emerged throughout history, but how many have truly endured the test of time?

Most people get stuck at some point in their cultivation, and before they know it, they become buried in earth...

Qin Chuan drank a glass of wine and continued, "Now that I am an elder of the Seven Martial Sect, I still don’t know much about the sect’s foundations. Could you tell me about it, brother?"

Elder Wu symbolically hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since you are also a sect elder, there is nothing that cannot be said."

"Currently, in our Seven Martial Sect, there are over a hundred powerhouses at the Nirvana level, and counting both the apparent and hidden ones in the Heaven-Penetrating Realm, there are over twenty, with even a few late-stage Heaven-Penetrating ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan’s heartbeat accelerated!

The grandeur of the Seven Martial Sect was far beyond his expectations. He took a deep breath and asked, "How can there be so many?"

"Isn’t that normal?"

Elder Wu glanced at him and said, "The sect has been passed down for over three thousand years; how could it not have any depth?"

"In a glance at a sect, there are thousands of young disciples along with hundreds of older generation powerhouses."

"But think about it, those older generation powerhouses were once young disciples too. Where are all those contemporaries?"

"Even if some have died for various reasons, and some have left the sect, the remaining ones would not be just a few, right?"

"Moreover, the life span of cultivators is generally long, allowing many generations to coexist, making the numbers even more substantial."

"Take me, for instance. You might think it’s just me and my grandson at home, but that’s not the case. My son, daughter-in-law, and even my father and grandfather are still alive, and their strength is not below the Nirvana level."

At this point, Elder Wu said with profound mystery, "So... any power’s apparent strength is just the tip of the iceberg."

Qin Chuan took a deep breath.

Then he asked, "Is it the same for the other five major sects and those families with thousand-year legacies?"

"Each has different circumstances. Their strengths may not match the Seven Martial Sect, but they’re not weak either."

Elder Wu said thoughtfully.

"What about the Royal Family?"

Qin Chuan asked.

For the first time, Elder Wu’s expression turned serious, and in a low voice, he said, "The Royal Family... is terrifying. Considering their foundation, they might even be more formidable than all six major sects combined."

"So strong?!"

Qin Chuan was taken aback.

He realized he had underestimated the Nine Yang Dynasty and the Royal Family, which governed thirty-six main cities with seemingly unimpressive city lords.

"The Royal Family is the ruler of the entire dynasty, having seized one-fifth of the dynasty’s resources. Do you think they are strong?"

Elder Wu said with a bitter smile, "However, the real issue isn’t about resources but lies within the Royal Family itself."

"The Royal Family’s surname is actually Yang. Two thousand years ago, they established the country with the power of their family. Do you know what this means?"

"It means they subdued the already existing six major sects and other noble families with just their family’s strength."

"Let’s not dwell on other matters. When the Yang Family founded the country, they dispatched three powerhouses at the Saint Realm level!"

"Saint Realm, a level where experts are almost extinct, yet they had three, maybe even more."

"Now, over two thousand years later, the Yang Family holds vast resources and the accumulated cultivation experience and insights of many generations of experts. Who knows how many experts they have cultivated?"

Qin Chuan noticed Elder Wu’s heavy heart and said with a smile, "There may be many cultivated, but also many have died. After planting wheat for two thousand years, all that’s left in the field is just this year’s crop."

Elder Wu glanced at Qin Chuan, smiled bitterly, and said, "Hehe, makes sense, let’s hope that’s the case."

He knew such a calculation wasn’t valid, but he recognized Qin Chuan’s attempt to console him, so he didn’t refute it.

Qin Chuan smiled, then his expression gradually became serious, "Do you think the Royal Family would act against our six major sects?"

"If nothing drastic happens, they shouldn’t."

Elder Wu shook his head with a smile and said, "If the Royal Family were the farmers, the Nine Yang Dynasty would be their land."

"No farmer wishes for their land to become barren. Our forces’ existence actually drives the entire dynasty’s development. The more strong individuals there are, the more resources and treasures are produced."

"And as I’ve mentioned previously, nearly one-fifth of the resources of the entire dynasty ultimately end up in the Royal Family’s pockets."

"In the words of the Wanbao Commerce Association, we, these seemingly glamorous sect powers, are actually just working for the Royal Family."

Qin Chuan smiled without saying anything.

He had asked everything he wanted to know.

So the depths of the Nine Yang Dynasty were so profound; this revelation was unexpectedly delightful for him.

Deep waters are good.

Deep waters are nourishing!

...

Time passed, and a month went by.

Qin Zi excitedly told his father that his cultivation had advanced to the seventh level of the Pure Yang realm, easily crushing the ninth level!

However, Qin Chuan wasn’t thrilled.

Because he hadn’t made any progress.

He realized his cultivation talent was rather average. Reaching the eighth level of Nirvana truly surpassed his potential limit.

His cultivation was forcibly elevated by the system, like pouring cement—it’s sturdy and imperishable once set but can no longer grow by itself, only strengthening through more cement!

The system was his cement.

Since the incident with Wu Xiu, Qin Zi had become more obedient, handling matters without rushing recklessly.

Thus, for a whole month, he hadn’t caused any trouble!

Of course, for Qin Chuan, it was just like taking a vacation; he wasn’t at all worried that his son wouldn’t cause trouble.

Expecting a child of destiny to avoid trouble?

In the next life!!

Finally, thrilling news arrived—Celestial Eye Mountain revealed the relics of powerful figures, drawing many prodigies from the dynasty!

At that moment, the Seven Martial Sect was abuzz. Many young geniuses were eager to test their luck.

Not only for the opportunities in the relics but also to compete with their peers and build confidence and fame!

Upon investigating the details, Qin Chuan decisively decided to let Qin Zi take a trip, after all... he had already planned the script.
