Protect Our Clan Leader
Chapter 1229 - 6: World's Best! Sequence 1_2

…

Just as Yunyang the Enlightened One and Lici set forth on their journey home,

Wang Shouzhe, along with Wang Ningxi and Shangguan Lingbo, as well as their tag-along, Shangguan Yunhong, also meandered along the scenic route and arrived near the Lingyun Sacred Land.

The Sacred Land was already within sight.

Looking down from the sky, the entire Lingyun Sacred Land was imbued with a fantastical hue.

Everywhere the eye could see, there were mountains, lakes, swamps, and canyons—any type of terrain one could imagine was almost present here, as if it were a world terrain exhibition. Moreover, these terrains often defied logic, with a massive lake beside a lava swamp, or a rugged, desolate mountain range without any vegetation next to a valley that was warm and spring-like all year round.

Even more so, the lake water could be red, the sky could be colorful, thunder could burst forth from the mountaintops, and roaring winds could shoot up from the ground…

Common sense seemed to lose its efficacy here.

In the flying carriage, the expressions of those peering out were unconsciously filled with a tinge of amazement.

Truth be told, this was Wang Shouzhe's first visit to the Sacred Land.

Even though he had already known much about the Sacred Land from the letters sent back by Wang Ying Xuan, and had anticipated what to expect, the sight still left him somewhat breathless.

The Lingyun Sacred Land truly lived up to its name of "Sacred Land."

In Wang Shouzhe's understanding, the Sacred Land was akin to those higher institutions on Earth that possessed cutting-edge technology and formidable scientific research capabilities, institutions that integrated both military and scientific research. It was not merely a venue for nurturing combat talents but also for cultivating scientific talents.

Nowadays, many technologies and inventions that had changed the lives of those in the Great Qian Land had originated from the Sacred Land and the Academic Palace.

Over the years, the Sacred Land had also committed to finding a path that could lead the Great Qian Land to greater prosperity and strength.

They explored the Divine Martial Relics, studied the scriptures left from the Divine Martial Dynasty Era, attempting to discern why the human race was so flourishing and powerful during that era.

The Sacred Land housed the largest library in the whole Great Qian Land, which contained countless precious documents from the Divine Martial Dynasty Era, making it the most comprehensive collection among all powers in the Great Qian Land. It was also the only library that was open to the public for consultation.

The Sacred Land was one of the few places that occasionally made their self-developed technological advancements public.

Who knows how many low-level Independent Cultivators, members of Prominent Families, low-tier Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Spirit Plant Masters, and so forth were still relying on these technologies from the Sacred Land to make a living.

It can be said that without the Sacred Land, there wouldn't be such frequently emerging and continually updated lower-class Prominent Families. Whenever the Sacred Land announced new technologies, a whirlwind of reform would sweep through the grassroots.

The exalted position of Lingyun Sacred Land in the Great Qian Land was largely due to this.

In a nation governed by Prominent Families, the existence of Lingyun Sacred Land was undoubtedly an anomaly. However, its presence was irreplaceable for national stability and the development of public welfare.

This was the wisdom gleaned from the blood and tears of countless ancestors.

And so, even after a hundred thousand years, this unique existence that was born during the Divine Martial Dynasty Era had persisted through the vast river of time to this day.

However, as time evolved, the original "Academic Palaces" slowly transformed into various institutions resembling academic ones. There was Lingyun Sacred Land in the Great Qian Land, Immortal Palace in the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, and reportedly, even similar institutions within the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, albeit in different forms of existence.

In Wang Shouzhe's view, the Saint Emperor who created the "Academic Palaces" was undoubtedly a remarkable person, a high-minded idealist free from petty tastes.

By comparison, Wang Shouzhe was somewhat more selfish, his vision not nearly as vast, mostly just wanting to improve the lives of his clan members within his little patch of land.

And at most, to extend that to fostering stronger growth in the Great Qian Land.

This was the principle of doing as much as one's capabilities allow. As the saying goes, 'When poor, one must first secure one's own livelihood; when wealthy, contribute to the welfare of the world.' Only by making the Wang family truly strong could Wang Shouzhe possibly aspire towards such lofty ideals.

The flying carriage continued deeper inside.

"Ningxi brother~ take a look, the scenery of that mountain peak is magnificent," Shangguan Lingbo, perched at the window, excitedly pointed at a distant peak that soared into the clouds, enveloped in lightning like a ferocious dragon, bursting forth in a display as splendid as fireworks.

"I heard from Grand Aunt Ying Xuan that it is Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Peak," Wang Ningxi revealed a hint of hope in his eyes, "It's the heritage site of one of the Nine Veins in the Sacred Land, the Purple Xiao Sky Thunder lineage."

A heritage site, a place where one could truly learn powerful methods, and in the future, possibly ascend to the Cultivator of Shen-Tong realm and enjoy a life span of two thousand years.

Unfortunately, his current meridians and Qi Sea…

"Ningxi brother, you will surely recover," Shangguan Lingbo encouraged, "Through these days with you, I know that you are a kind-hearted and smart person. No matter what happens in the future, Lingbo will definitely be by your side to face it together."

"Sister Lingbo, thank you. With you by my side, I will definitely overcome all difficulties."
