Chapter 188: Chapter 5 “Fear of Death” Wang Shouzhe_2

Moreover, as it is widely known, the Mysterious Ice Bloodline is one of the three abnormal attribute bloodlines, the destructive power is far stronger than that of the pure Primary Water Bloodline. However, it does have a disadvantage. It isn’t as efficient in self-recovery as the Primary Water Bloodline.

Despite having heard about it from Old Ancestor Longyan before, Old Ancestor Xuanfu’s eyes still welled up with emotions. When Old Ancestor Longyan broke through to the Spirit Platform Realm, she was the star for three decades and left Old Ancestor Xuanfu far behind.

This had once led her to question her life’s worth. Now that this topic came up again, she couldn’t help feeling a little sour.

“Old Ancestor, if the second challenge is fighting two at the peak of the Qi Refinement Level Nine, does the third challenge involve fighting three?” Wang Shouzhe joked.

“Precisely, the third challenge is as such. That’s why I only managed to clear the second challenge,” Old Ancestor Longyan replied somewhat helplessly, “Those demonic creature puppets are very tricky. I barely made it past the second challenge by fighting them with my life on the line.”

Wang Shouzhe was left speechless. The designer of these trial challenges was really thoughtless. Did it suggest that the fourth challenge would involve four opponents? This was ridiculous.

However, upon hearing Old Ancestor Longyan’s words, Wang Shouzhe was intrigued.

But defeating two powerful opponents of the same level wouldn’t be an easy task, let alone three. With his current level of strength, it was simply impossible!

Upon hearing this,

Liu Ruolan blinked and asked: “Old Ancestor Xuanfu, did you sell me to the Wang family for this secret?”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu coughed awkwardly and said: “Don’t get me wrong, Ruolan. I did this purely for your own good.”

“Your talent is already top-notch. But the higher your talents, the more you can’t afford to miss these opportunities. Besides the Spirit Pill from the second challenge that’ll surely benefit you, the key is to win the third challenge! According to the remnants’ implications, once you’re through the three challenges, you’ll be eligible to become a disciple of the Divine Martial Dynasty, and initiate the cultivation in the Divine Martial Dynasty.”

However, Wang Shouzhe furrowed his brows and asked, “Didn’t the Divine Martial Dynasty collapse over a hundred thousand years ago?”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu shook her head, “Although the Divine Martial Dynasty has collapsed, its remnants still exist in many places. The heart of the prestigious Divine Martial Dynasty remains a mystery.”

“Even the Purple Abode Academic Palace values the remnants of the Divine Martial Dynasty highly, so we can’t miss this chance. Besides, the Innate Dao fetus spirit seed that I obtained in the past was from one of the remnants of the Divine Martial Dynasty. If we could find the core area….”

So this explains it. Old Ancestor Xuanfu had such ambitious plans.

Wang Shouzhe silently nodded in agreement, however, he pondered: “One more question, why didn’t Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan participate in the trial in those remnants?”

Old Ancestor Longyan explained, “Not everyone is allowed to participate in the Divine Martial trials. One has to be below the Spirit Platform Realm, and no older than forty. Back then, Xiaohan had already passed the age limit. Your father, Wang Dingyue, barely qualified.”

Okay, it seems that the Divine Martial Dynasty has quite high standards. Those who fall a little short are not even given the opportunity to participate in the trials.

“Can you participate in the trials if you haven’t reached the peak level nine?”

“Probably. The problem is, if you haven’t reached the peak, it would be tough to defeat a demon puppet at the peak. It would be futile to go.”

“If you win two rounds, can you wait a few years before going again?”

“Well… As far as I heard from the trial Artifact Spirit, you’d have to start over if you come again, and the rewards would not be duplicated.”

As Wang Shouzhe kept throwing out questions, he continually broadened Old Ancestor Longyan’s worldview.

Meanwhile Old Ancestor Xuanfu, who was standing by their side, started to gradually grow impatient. “Well, Shouzhe, are you done with your questions? We should prepare. We’ll set off in a couple of days.”

“Wait! Old Ancestor Xuanfu, are you leaving just like that?” Wang Shouzhe was stunned. “This seems a bit too hasty.”

“Shouzhe, are you not ready yet?” Old Ancestor Xuanfu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

What a joke, what does she mean by ‘not ready yet’?

I haven’t even started to prepare, okay?

With a cold sweat dripping, Wang Shouzhe found Old Ancestor Xuanfu to be a bit hasty. Then, he questioned: “Is Old Ancestor Xuanfu’s plan really to go with just us four?”

“No, Liu Yuan Hui will also join us,” Old Ancestor Xuanfu replied calmly. “Don’t worry, if we encounter a Level Four Fierce Beast, two of us, myself and Cousin Longyan, will be enough.”

That’s a high level of confidence.

Wang Shouzhe touched his chin and pondered, “A Level Four Fierce Beast is not too bad, but what if we encounter two Level Four Fierce Beasts? What if we encounter a Level Five Fierce Beast? Does Old Ancestor Xuanfu have any preemptive strategies?”

Old Ancestor Xuanfu’s eye twitched, and she snapped, “How could there be so many Level Five Fierce Beasts in the world? According to Cousin Longyan, it’s just a thousand li away.”

“A thousand li away into the outskirts is already quite deep, hence we need to be fully prepared,” said Wang Shouzhe.

“What do you mean by ‘be fully prepared’…?” Old Ancestor Xuanfu suddenly had a bad feeling.

“At least if we encounter a Level Five Fierce Beast, while we may not be able to kill it, we could at least deter it.”

“Furthermore, my bloodline talent is not sufficient. I barely won in the second level, absolutely cannot win in the third.”

“Once I break through to the Spirit Platform Realm, I won’t be able to compete again. This opportunity comes only once in a lifetime. Therefore, I’m planning to gather some treasures that can enhance my bloodline talent, as well as those that can deter a Level Five Fierce Beast.”

“Then, when do you plan on finishing these preparations?” Granny Hsuanchu’s eyelids began to twitch, struggling to suppress her urge to beat someone up.

“There’s no rush. Preparation should be taken slowly, I won’t risk it unless I’m completely sure. By the way, my wife, you cannot go either.”

“Opportunities like these come to those who are alive to seize them. We can buy most of these Heaven and Earth Treasures with money. If that doesn’t work, we can slowly accumulate wealth by farming. Then, buy, buy, buy!”

Liu Ruolan obediently nodded her head and said, “Okay, my husband, I’ll listen to you.”

Granny Hsuanchu nearly fainted from the frustration, she stared blankly at Granny Longyan and said, “This boy of yours, is he really so scared of death? All the hard work we’ve put in is to seek opportunities for the younger generation. Those talents would risk their lives for such opportunities, wouldn’t they?”

Granny Longyan felt somewhat embarrassed, her great-great-nephew indeed didn’t possess the kind of spirit the talents had, that drive to push forward regardless of what comes.

“Well… Wang Shouzhe, he isn’t scared of dying. Instead, he plans for the worst in all situations.”

“However, I believe Shouzhe’s approach is correct. It was my insufficiency in thoughts that led to Ding Yue’s death. Shouzhe, you make the decision regarding this matter. After you’re ready, we will depart.”

“Kid, if you don’t want to go, that’s fine too,” Granny Hsuanchu said frustratedly, “I will take Ruolan and Yuanhui myself.”

“Old ancestor, if my husband says we can’t go, then I definitely can’t. I am, after all, a daughter-in-law of the Wang family…” Unexpectedly, Liu Ruolan instantly shook her head and said, “Besides, my husband is right. It’s always good to have more preparation and we must consider our children.”

“My dear wife, you’re so obedient!”

“My husband, you’re the best, always thinking of our family.”

“Marrying you is the happiest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

“Being married to my husband is the greatest blessing in my life, Liu Ruolan.”

The couple continued their sweet talk, not forgetting to show off their love.

The two old ancestors, both of whom had been single for over a hundred years, turned their heads away at this display of affection.

It felt too nauseating…

Then, Granny Hsuanchu reluctantly said to Wang Shouzhe, “Alright, you can go and prepare. But hurry…”

“Old ancestor, first give me the map. I can plan the route earlier.” Wang Shouzhe got to the point. For such an adventurous action in the foreign land, he would never let others control the pace and give the orders.

Granny Longyan did as told and gave an ancient map to Wang Shouzhe.

Then Wang Shouzhe began his preparations.

One month later, when Granny Hsuanchu asked him if he is ready?

Wang Shouzhe calmly replied that they are not ready yet.

During the second month, they were still not ready.

During the third month, when Granny Hsuanchu went looking for him again, she was shocked to discover that Wang Shouzhe had gone out to shop.

“Old Ancestor, my husband said he found a connection through a friend and went out to buy something that might kill a Level Five Fierce Beast. Moreover, he found the Spirit Pill Cleansing Marrow Pill that will help evolve our bloodline.” Liu Ruolan, carrying her first and second babies. continued in a calm voice. “And, my husband said that if I don’t have a Storage Ring, I wouldn’t be able to carry my change of clothes, daily necessities, and my favorite snacks. So, he said he’d buy a storage ring for me on the way.”

Facing this piece of news, Granny Hsuanchu was left in shock. She barely managed to keep her eyes in place… ‘Oh, and buy a Storage Ring on the way’…

I couldn’t bear to buy a Storage Ring…

Bringing everyday items before heading out? Are we going on a picnic?

This little fellow Wang Shouzhe, how can he be so overbearing and inconsiderate?

For a moment, Granny Hsuanchu felt sour in her heart.

How did she, as a core disciple of the Academic Palace, become a poor figure overnight?
