《Wine Sword Immortal: A divine-level brewer, drunkenly slashing the gates of heaven!》 The Awkward Teenager In the vast territory of Huaxia Heavenly Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of billions, everyone aspires to martial arts, dreaming of becoming a warrior who can leap through the Dragon Gate and break through the Lingxiao. In the province of Langna, in the city of Tianjian, at the Second Junior High School. Morning, Class 8 of Grade 3. "Damn, have you guys seen the news? Chef Liu Qing went to the wilderness alone to complete his eighth-order spirit dish, and raided the lair of the eighth-order peak exotic beast, the Thundercloud Leopard." "So awesome, for the sake of cooking, he wielded two kitchen knives and chopped continuously for three days and nights without blinking an eye!" "That video was so bloody and inspiring." "So strong, he''s truly reaching the pinnacle of a chef in this new era." "This move has put New Oriental in a tough spot." "Both New Oriental graduates, both aspiring chefs, why is my dad so mediocre?" "Your dad just has an E-level talent, while Liu Qing''s talent..." Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open, and the noisy chatter inside the classroom came to a sudden halt. All the students turned their attention to the door. They saw a teenager with bruises on his face, blood-stained clothes, carrying a dusty school bag, limping into the classroom. Seeing this, his classmates rushed to help him. "Class Monitor, what happened to you?" "Oh my god, who did this to you!" "Quick, two boys, take him to the infirmary!" The students in the class instantly realized what had happened, and a group of boys rushed to the teenager''s side. "Monitor, we''ll take you to the infirmary." Watching his concerned classmates, Wang Xianxian shook his head. "No need to bother everyone, I''ve already been there." With that, he dragged himself back to his seat. Feeling the pain in his body, Wang Xianxian clenched his teeth lightly and adjusted his disrupted breath with internal energy. At this moment, the students in the class started to discuss. "Damn, it must be those people from the Wang family who did this." "Could it be that Wang Beichen is behind this again?" Isn''t Wang Beichen the younger brother of the class monitor? "What''s wrong with them, they''re all from the Wang family, why do they keep bullying the class monitor?" "Don''t their elders care at all? How many times has this happened?" And they call themselves a royal family, disgusting. "Don''t speak so loudly, if the Wang family hears you, you''ll be in trouble." "This is so damn unfair!" Just as the students were discussing, the classroom door was opened again. This time, their homeroom teacher came in. The homeroom teacher cleared his throat. "Quiet down, let me say a few words. Seeing the gradually quieting students, the homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction. "Teacher knows you all are looking forward to today''s awakening ceremony, but the arrangements for the next few days are equally important. First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully completing the mid-term cultural exam, and I wish you all achieve satisfactory results." "Next is about the schedule for the next few days." "We will only have half a day of classes today. After the awakening ceremony, complete the registration and you can all go home freely." Upon hearing this, the students became excited and started cheering. The homeroom teacher smiled helplessly, "Quiet down, everyone, listen to me finish. "When you get back home this afternoon, remember to discuss with your family whether you want to participate in the martial arts exam. Those who are willing to participate, come to school tomorrow to fill out the application form. As for those who are not interested in the martial arts exam and have decided to attend vocational school, you can choose not to come." "You just need to wait for the results to come out, and you can register online. Of course, if you have any questions about registering for vocational school, or need recommendations, you can come back to school at that time, and the teacher will help you." "Now, everyone tidy up, and line up in the corridor..." Upon hearing the teacher''s words, the students hurriedly rushed to the corridor. At this moment, the homeroom teacher noticed something unusual in the back of the classroom. "Wang Xianxian, what''s wrong with you?" The vice monitor of Wang Xianxian hurriedly said, "Teacher, it''s the people from the Wang family again..." Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.Before the vice monitor could finish speaking, Wang Xianxian interrupted, "Teacher, I''m fine, I just tripped when I went out." The homeroom teacher guessed the answer in her heart, with a worried look on her face. "You child, how did you trip and end up like this?" Although she knew the truth, she was powerless to change anything. "Vice monitor, class representative, take him to the infirmary to treat the wound. And find him some clean clothes, as there will be many leaders from the city coming to school today." Watching the backs of the three as they left, the homeroom teacher sighed deeply. "The Wang family is really going too far..." Infirmary. The school doctor touched Wang Xianxian''s body with his hand, then activated his professional skill. Treatment! Immediately, a milky white light lit up on the surface of Wang Xianxian''s body, and the bruises on his body began to quickly dissipate. After the treatment, the school doctor patted Wang Xianxian''s shoulder. "Alright, go to the playground now." After bidding farewell to the school doctor, the three of them did not immediately return to the playground but walked leisurely on the path. The vice monitor and class representative looked at Wang Xianxian, who was silent, and chose not to ask. They were all good friends of Wang Xianxian and understood his character. The class representative, Li Yue, was a girl with short hair, exuding a bit of vigor in her youth. She thought back to the skill the school doctor had just displayed and felt a bit envious. "If only I could awaken a medical-type professional skill." "Compared to fighting all day long, I prefer saving lives." The vice monitor, Zhao Hu, a short-haired young man, placed his hands behind his head. "I hope to awaken as a swordsman and live up to the title of a general!" "However, we can''t decide what professional skill we awaken, whatever we awaken will be it." After saying that, he looked at Wang Xianxian beside him with envy. "Brother Xian, I envy you so much." "There are only two types of professional skills, combat and non-combat." "The probability of awakening combat-type professional skills is less than 20%." "Your Wang family is bound to awaken sword-type professional skills, and the quality of the family members'' talents is not low. ''Imperial bloodline, terrifying as it is!''" "Alas, I don''t want to awaken like my dad, becoming a chef, cooking is too tiring." After hearing this, Wang Xianxian lowered his head slightly. While others envied his bloodline, for him, the bloodline brought more harm than good. Li Yue, the class representative, snorted coldly after hearing this. "What''s wrong with being a chef? Does that mean non-combat professional skills are necessarily weaker than combat professional skills?" "The professional skill of Chef Liu Qing, the Chef King, is also a non-combat type, and he still defeats opponents of the same level. ''There are no trash professional skills, only trash talents!''" Talent is what determines the growth limit of a warrior! The vice monitor and class representative were childhood friends and also rivals. Seeing himself being refuted, Zhao Hu retorted immediately. "You''re daydreaming, is it so easy to obtain high-quality talents?" "Chef King''s talent is SSS-grade, such talent is rare once in a decade globally. Li Yue, unwilling to show weakness, said, "If you have no dreams, what''s the difference between you and a salted fish? What if you awaken an even more amazing X-grade talent?" "Hehe, why don''t you say I awaken a once-in-a-millennium EX-grade talent?" "Zhao Hu, why do you look down on Uncle Zhao?" Li Yue was a little angry. "Li Yue, do you have ears at all? When did I ever look down on my dad?" "You do, you look down on chefs!" "Don''t talk nonsense!" Listening to the two arguing, Wang Xianxian sighed helplessly. These two rivals were his best friends at school, but their relationship could only be described as a love-hate one, constantly fighting or on the verge of a fight. Seeing the two about to start a fight, Wang Xianxian quickly stepped in to stop them. "Dear sirs, listen carefully, the principal has already started speaking, let''s go quickly." The two glared at each other, then turned their heads simultaneously. "Hmph!" However, despite the argument, they didn''t dare to joke about the awakening ceremony. The three of them quickened their pace and headed towards the playground. Chapter 2: The Rising Family At this moment, on the school playground, thousands of junior high school students stand neatly in rows. Their youthful faces are filled with nervousness. Everyone maintains the utmost silence, They are listening intently to the speech of the principal on the stage. "Ten thousand years ago, the celestial gates opened wide, spiritual energy revived, and mythical beasts descended! These beasts were ferocious, wantonly slaughtering the human race. "Our human race was fortunate to be favored by the heavens, stepping onto the great path of martial arts with our duties and talents, ushering in the era of celestial martial arts. "After three years of study, I believe everyone has grasped the basic theory of their celestial duties. "Today will be the day you awaken your celestial duties and talents, as well as the day that decides your fate. "I hope everyone can awaken the celestial duties they aspire to. "May every student of Huaxia become as powerful as a dragon! "I declare, the awakening ceremony now begins!" As the principal''s speech concludes, the students below start to queue up in an orderly manner. At this moment, a group of proud and spirited young men and women step out from the queue of students. They form a new queue and stand at the very front of all the queues. The students behind them begin to whisper among themselves. "That''s the young generation of the Wang family this year. "I wonder what kind of talents the Wang family members will awaken this year? "Who knows, but they won''t be weak, that''s for sure. "I remember last year, even the weakest talent in the Wang family reached B level. "I''m so envious of them, we could work hard for several lifetimes and still not reach their starting point. "The Wang family is imperial, if your ancestors could produce an emperor, you could also enjoy such blessings of bloodline. "Some are born in Rome, while others are born as oxen and horses. Just as the students are engaged in heated discussion, a huge pillar of light suddenly soars into the sky within the awakening formation at the front, shaking the heavens! In an instant, the pillar of light transforms into tens of thousands of flying swords that appear in the sky. Everyone on the scene is stunned by this spectacular phenomenon, standing frozen in place. After a brief silence, a wave of exclamations fills the air. "Holy shit, a celestial phenomenon!" "Only those with SS level talents or above can cause a celestial phenomenon!" "Damn, that''s too strong!" "Whose retainer is this, so fierce? "The one on stage is Wang Beichen, the new prodigy of the Wang family. "Is that the Wang Beichen who, at just thirteen years old, met the conditions for celestial duty awakening? "It''s said that half a month ago, he unlocked his body''s twelfth spiritual vein, breaking through the first stage and reaching the second stage of blood refinement!"Holy shit, a blood refinement realm at thirteen, Wang family''s prodigy, terrifying indeed!" "Everyone starts to unlock their spiritual veins at ten, why is he so outstanding, unlocking all veins in just three years."Damn, I''ve been cultivating hard for five years and only unlocked seven veins, truly a case of ''comparing oneself to others will only make one angry.''" The staff member beside the awakening platform suppresses the shock in his heart and speaks loudly. "Wang Beichen, awakened profession [Supreme Swordmaster], awakened talent is X-level [Sword Dominance]."As soon as these words are out, the entire place is shocked. In the queue of Class 8 of the third year, Zhao Hu''s eyes widen, and he swallows his saliva involuntarily. Looking around the world, X-level talents are considered once-in-a-century...... Another student suddenly remembers something and turns his head sharply. "I remember Wang Beichen is our class monitor''s younger brother, right? Hearing this, the students of Class 8 all look towards the back. Wang Xianxian pays no attention to the curious gazes of his classmates. He just silently watches the awakening platform at the front. Seeing his brother shining brightly on the stage, Wang Xianxian is not surprised. He knows better than anyone how terrifying the talent of this half-brother of his is. Compared to him, he feels like a firefly under the bright moon, humble and insignificant. Wang Xianxian clenches the gourd pendant in his hand and softly says, "It will be successful..."On the stage, the leaders are also unable to hide their astonishment. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation."An X-level talent, it''s probably been over two thousand years since the Wang family had someone of this caliber. "The rise of the Wang family is now unstoppable, their luck in recent years is simply too outrageous. "Perhaps this is what they call ''fortune comes after misfortune.'' "Due to the disappearance of the Sword Emperor, leading to three thousand years of suppression, it''s normal for them to bounce back now. "This is very likely related to the advancement of the Sword Emperor''s realm. "Although the Sword Emperor''s whereabouts remain unknown, the sudden surge in the imperial bloodline within the Wang family members is proof enough that the Sword Emperor''s realm has reached an unimaginably high level." "Aren''t other imperial families guessing that the Sword Emperor has already half-stepped into the threshold of the Emperor? "Otherwise, why would those imperial families change their attitude and shamelessly seek peace? "This year, fifty-two members of the Wang family participated in the awakening, with 26 at B level, 16 at A level, 6 at S level, 2 at SS level, 1 at SSS level, and 1 at X level."Such a display of talent strength is unheard of!" After the Wang family members complete their awakening, it''s time for students from other classes to queue for their awakening. After a long wait, the number of people in the queue gradually decreases. "Li Huo, combat class profession Pyromancer, talent B level [Fierce Flame]. "Zhao Gang, life class profession Blacksmith, talent C level [Gravity Hammer Strike]. "Zhang San, combat class profession Thug, talent A level [Lawless Outlaw]. "Cai Xukun, combat class profession Beast Taming Apprentice, talent F level [Little Black Chicken]. ..... The students who successfully awaken their professions all excitedly step down from the awakening platform. Time passes by, second by second..... Finally, it''s the turn of the third year, Class 8. The first to go up from Class 8 is the study committee member, Li Yue. "Li Yue, awakened profession [Battlefield Medic], awakened talent is S level [Brink of Death Protection]."Li Yue on the stage jumps up excitedly, and the students below exclaim in surprise, "Holy shit, an S-level talent, and it''s even a noble death-immunity type talent! "She doesn''t even need to take the middle school exams, there will definitely be a martial arts high school that will offer her a special admission. "Talk about martial arts high schools, such a talent is even more important to the military than a combat class SS level talent."Li Yue proudly raises her neck, like a proud swan. Her gaze stays on a certain buzz-cut boy, Among everyone, the most excited is probably Zhao Hu, standing next to Wang Xianxian. He excitedly hugs Wang Xianxian. "Bro Xian, this dumb dog''s dream has come true!" Wang Xianxian is also sincerely happy for his friend. An S-level talent, even in the province, is considered quite prominent, Of course, it would be better if Zhao Hu didn''t use so much strength in his arms. "Let go of me, go hug Li Yue if you want to hug, I can hardly breathe. "Sorry, sorry." Zhao Hu scratches his head. Next, Zhao Hu. "Holy shit, Bro Xian, it''s my turn, I''m off." Zhao Hu rushes to the awakening platform in a hurry, then another flash of light passes, and the staff member looks as if he''s seen something unbelievable, stunned. Half a minute later, he recovers, "Zhao Hu, awakened profession [Violent Chef], awakened talent is S level [No Matter How High Your Level, You Still Fear the Kitchen Knife]. The principal on the stage suddenly stands up, and after confirming that he''s not hallucinating, he laughs heartily. "Hahaha, a double yolk! The Wang family members have imperial bloodline, so they aren''t involved in school assessments. This time, two S levels have emerged, one of which is a medical talent highly valued by the military. Therefore, it''s no wonder the principal is a bit excited. The Zhao Hu on stage is so shocked that his mouth hangs open. The next second, he lets out a thunderous roar. "Old Zhao, I''ve made it, I''ve brought glory to my ancestors!!! "I''m going to start my own family tree!!!!!"The buzz-cut boy''s comical congratulatory actions amuse everyone present. Li Yue, who just stepped down from the stage, is also excited, her little face flushed. Wang Xianxian, seeing both of his good friends awaken powerful talents, suddenly feels a bit nervous. He takes a gourd pendant out of his pocket and then clenches it tightly in his hand. "Mom, please bless me...... Chapter 3: The Brewer Seeing the buzz-cut kid''s comical appearance, the principal turned and said to the grade director with a smile, "This kid''s talent, if I remember correctly, should double the attack of a kitchen knife and has a special suppressive effect. "The quality of students this year is very high, Class Eight actually has two S-rank talents. "Moreover, those students with life-oriented professions are also quite promising seeds," the grade director immediately responded. "After all, the categorization of professions is just a division made by us humans, "Some talents, when paired with inconspicuous professions, can often produce unexpectedly effective results." The principal noncommittally replied, "Yes, whether a profession can exhibit its perfect effect often depends on the talent..." Speaking of this, the principal suddenly changed his tone. "However, the overall combat power of combat-oriented professions is still much stronger than that of life-oriented ones." The grade director laughed in agreement. "Of course, otherwise those professions with strong combat abilities wouldn''t be classified into the combat category." Suddenly, the principal saw a familiar face and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn''t that the eldest son of the Wang family''s third master, Wang Xianxian? Why is he still queuing here instead of joining the Wang family''s team?" The grade director immediately explained, "This child generally keeps a certain distance from the Wang family''s descendants at school." "Why is that?" the principal wondered. The grade director sighed, "Wang Xianxian is always bullied by the young members of the Wang family. I have reported this issue to the Wang family, but no one dealt with it. "I don''t know why, but the students from the Wang family always seem to deliberately target him. "Wang Xianxian is also a defiant one; every time he is bullied, he fights back, often getting himself injured. Later, I transferred him to Class Eight, which doesn''t have any Wang family descendants." "How strange," the principal frowned, "Bullying within the clan is a very serious issue in any family, let alone the Wang family, which is an imperial clan. How can they just ignore it?" The grade director shook his head with some dissatisfaction. "Principal, you know as well as I do that the Tianjian Wang family has already lost the foundation of an imperial clan, "If it weren''t for the news of the old ancestor (Sword Emperor) who disappeared fifteen years ago and had been missing for three thousand years, how could they be so arrogant? "I know about Wang Xianxian. Although his talent is not stunning, he has a heart that seeks the Dao. "Such a seedling, even with mediocre talent, can eventually reach an impressive height. "Yet, the Wang family allows such a child to be bullied by his own clan, truly lacking the magnanimity of a great clan!" The principal''s gaze deepened as he watched Wang Xianxian below. "Heaven burdens the worthy with great tasks. Those with a determined Dao heart will eventually break out of their cocoon and transform into a butterfly." Seeing his subordinate wanting to say more, the principal shook his head. "The Wang family is an imperial clan; we have no place to interfere, after all, this is their family affair." The grade director sighed helplessly and dropped the topic. The principal patted his subordinate on the shoulder, "Alright, let''s see what profession the kid will awaken to." On the awakening platform, the staff member holding the list shouted, "Next, Wang Xianxian." The boy whose name was called took a deep breath, climbed onto the awakening platform with a nervous heart. Once Wang Xianxian stood firm on the awakening array, the array began to glow with dazzling purple light. The boy closed his eyes tightly, clutching the pendant in his right hand, and whispered in his heart, "Mom, I''m about to awaken my profession..." In an instant, Wang Xianxian felt a mysterious power awakening within him. This power became increasingly intense under the guidance of the awakening array. Just as the mysterious power was about to burst forth, an unexpected change occurred. Stolen novel; please report.The mysterious power suddenly quieted down, and no matter how the awakening array tried to draw it out, there was no longer any response. Wang Xianxian, on the awakening platform, noticed the abnormality within his body, and his face instantly turned pale. As the light of the awakening array faded, the voice of the staff member also followed, "Wang Xianxian, life-oriented profession [Brewer], talent awakening failed." The staff member''s words seemed to sentence the boy on the awakening platform to death. Looking at the shining, even somewhat dazzling text on the awakening stone, the boy''s face turned pale, his eyes lifeless. The moment the staff member''s voice fell, it caused an uproar among the crowd. "Holy shit, talent can fail to awaken?" "Is this the point? Isn''t the point that Wang Xianxian awakened as a Brewer?" "Yeah, why would a descendant of the Wang family awaken a profession other than sword-related ones?" "Holy shit, there''s a story to this Wang Xianxian." "A story under the green grass?" On the leadership platform, many leaders also wore expressions of disbelief. The grade director couldn''t believe the text on the awakening stone, "How... could this be..." The principal''s gaze became even sharper as he stared at the boy on the platform, his tone solemn, "Something big is going to happen..." Below the awakening platform, the young members of the Wang family showed schadenfreude expressions. "A Brewer? He''s really disgraced our Wang family." "Both are the sons of the third uncle, but the gap between Wang Xianxian and cousin Beichen is too big, isn''t it?" "You also don''t think about it, a child born to a merchant woman, how can he be compared with cousin Beichen, born to Aunt Murong, a favored daughter of heaven?" "However, although Wang Xianxian''s talent isn''t great, why did he awaken as a Brewer?" "Yeah, don''t we all have the bloodline of the Sword Emperor in our bodies, why did he awaken as a Brewer?" "Hmph, maybe that Wang Xianxian really is a bastard born to his mother and some other man." The surrounding doubts and ridicule fell on the boy''s ears like countless sharp swords, stabbing fiercely into his heart, causing Wang Xianxian''s breathing to become rapid. The boy slowly raised his head, his delicate and tender face full of despair, His dark eyes woodenly swept over those mocking clan members, and his already despairing heart became even more desolate. "Why..." In a daze, the boy''s spine seemed to lose its support and gradually slumped. Wang Xianxian''s eyes filled with death, turned around in desolation, and quietly walked down the awakening platform. His solitary figure, compared to the surrounding world, seemed somewhat out of place. Just as he stepped down from the platform, Wang Xianxian encountered a boy with a defiant face. That was his genius younger brother, Wang Beichen. Wang Beichen crossed his arms, looking at Wang Xianxian with disdain, "Think about how to explain to father!" "Having you as a brother really makes me feel disgusted!" Wang Xianxian did not respond to the humiliation, as he was engulfed in extreme self-doubt. Everything around him failed to catch his attention. He slowly walked towards his class''s location, Facing the caring words of classmates and friends, he remained unmoved. Strong emotions continuously eroded his mind, and Wang Xianxian''s consciousness began to blur, Afterward, he seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed. The surrounding classmates quickly shouted, "Teacher, the class monitor has fainted!" ..... "Mom, what is this?" "This is wine." "What is wine?" "Wine is a drink invented by our ancestors." "A drink! I want to drink it too!" "Children are not allowed to drink wine, and drinking alcohol is harmful to the body~" "If it''s harmful to the body, then why do adults still drink wine?" "Because wine can make people forget their unhappiness." "Then I want to drink wine when I grow up!" "If possible, mom hopes you never have to drink wine in your life." "Why?" "Because..." ..... The unconscious boy didn''t know that the gourd pendant he had put in his pocket was emitting a faint golden light... Chapter 4: The Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword When he opened his eyes again, Wang Xianxian found himself lying in bed. Looking around, he confirmed his current location. The school infirmary. He slowly raised his hand, looking at the calluses in his palm, tears uncontrollably streamed down from the corner of his eyes, "I had that dream again......." After wiping away his tears, Wang Xianxian took out a pendant from his pocket, which was a yellow gourd. Staring at the gourd in his hand, Wang Xianxian fell into a long memory. Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Gate descended upon the sky. Spiritual energy revived, and mythical beasts appeared, marking a new era. People called the day the Heavenly Gate descended, the Day of Origin. Year 1, January 1 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the Heavenly Gate descended. Year 100, January 1 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the Heavenly Gate opened wide, spiritual energy revived. In the same year, in June, mythical beasts descended on the Martial Star, and since then, humanity entered the Dark Age. Facing the powerful mythical beasts, humanity exerted all efforts but couldn¡¯t stop the beasts from wantonly slaughtering their kin. In just three months, over half of the more than 3000 countries worldwide were destroyed. Year 100, June 6 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the first Heavenly Official, Ji Xuanxuan, was born. Year 105, January 1 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, only 30 countries remained worldwide. In the same year, in March, humanity formed a united army to resist the mythical beasts together. Year 125, August 8 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, facing the fierce attack of the mythical beasts, the human united army was defeated. Since then, the remaining countries were on the brink of extinction, and humanity began to form groups based on families to keep warm. Year 200, January 1 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, a large number of humans awakened their Heavenly Positions and Talents. People discovered that when human children reached the age of 15, they could awaken their Talents and Heavenly Positions. Year 500, October 10 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the Heavenly Officials from the old site of Huaxia regrouped, establishing the first city of the new era, Yinxu, which is now the Imperial Capital of Huaxia. Year 666, June 6 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the first martial artist [Ji Xuanxuan] reached the Great Emperor Realm. In the same year, the Huaxia Restoration Alliance was established. Year 777, September 1 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, [Ji Xuanxuan] fell into a dangerous situation, and the mythical beasts took the opportunity to attack the Huaxia Restoration Alliance. At the critical moment, [Sword Emperor], [Pill Emperor], [Wine Emperor], and other twelve emperors appeared out of nowhere, successfully resisting the attack of the mythical beasts. Year 888, November 11 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, [Ji Xuanxuan] broke through the Great Emperor¡¯s lock and reached an unknown realm, receiving the title [Human Emperor]. Year 999, September 9 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar, the Demon Emperor [Di Tian] led the ten great demon emperors to join the Huaxia Restoration Alliance. On October 1 of the same year, the Huaxia Restoration was achieved. Year 2000, a conflict erupted between the Human Emperor of Huaxia and the Demon Emperor, Domestic wars broke out, and mythical beasts took advantage of the situation, dealing a fatal blow to the country. Year 2005, the third princess of the royal family [Ji Clan] and the second prince of the royal family [Di Clan] eloped for love, and had a son [Tan Tian]. Year 2500, [Tan Tian] reached the Great Emperor Realm, and with his dual heritage, Tan Tian successfully quelled the domestic turmoil. Year 3000, [Tan Tian] broke through the Great Emperor''s shackles and ranked alongside the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor, historically known as [Spirit Emperor]. From then on, Huaxia entered a prosperous era of three emperors ruling together. Year 3500, for the great prosperity of Huaxia, the three emperors relinquished their power to the people and held a banquet for all emperors in the capital, releasing military power over a cup of wine, completing a millennium-long legend. Year 3510, the new government was established, and the royal and imperial families officially exited the national political stage, until today. Today is May 1, 12001 of the Heavenly Gate Calendar. Great Emperors made indelible contributions in the history of humanity''s resistance against mythical beasts. To honor the Great Emperors, the country respectfully refers to the families of Great Emperors as Imperial Families! The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.Wang Xianxian was born into the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword, which is known as an Imperial Family. The ancient ancestor of the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword was the Sword Emperor. With the Sword Emperor at its helm, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword experienced unprecedented glory. As long as the Great Emperor lives, the Imperial Family shall not perish! The Wang Family, being an Imperial Family, should have thrived forever. However, as expected, an accident still occurred. Three thousand years ago, the Sword Emperor mysteriously disappeared during an expedition in a secret realm and has been missing ever since. Without the Great Emperor to helm it, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword also suffered suppression and revenge from its rivals. Fortunately, the rivals, fearing that the Sword Emperor had not perished, dared not completely annihilate the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword. With the intervention of the nation and the royal family, they chose to back off and adopted a slow-cooking approach, constantly limiting the development of the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword. Since then, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword began its long decline. By the time of Wang Xianxian''s grandfather, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword had become a second-rate family, On the verge of bankruptcy, Wang Xianxian''s grandfather, putting aside the pride inherent in their Imperial Family lineage, chose to marry into the Mo Family, which had a weak foundation. The Mo Family started in the spiritual wine industry. Due to the high-quality spiritual wine they brewed, they accumulated considerable wealth. The Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword needed this wealth to save their family business, and the Mo Family also hoped to climb higher with the support of the Wang Family''s heritage. Ultimately, Mo Wange, the Mo Family''s daughter, married the third son of the Wang Family''s clan leader, Wang Jian Nian. The Mo Family gave the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword the greatest respect, helping the Wang Family out of their predicament without reservation. The two families got along very well. Life should have continued in this manner, but an accident once again occurred. However, this accident was a huge surprise for the Wang Family. That afternoon, the strength of the descendants of the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword began to surge! After consulting ancient texts, the Wang Family found the reason for the surge in strength. It was their Great Emperor bloodline! The reason why Imperial Families are Imperial Families is because they contain the Great Emperor bloodline. The Great Emperor bloodline can bless descendants and also enhance the talents and strength of the clan members. Everything that happened to the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword undoubtedly proved one thing. The Sword Emperor, missing for three thousand years, not only had not perished but had also taken a significant step forward in strength! In a short time, this news spread like a storm throughout the world. After learning of this, the leaders of various major families changed their attitudes and began to attempt to mend relations with the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword. After that day, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword regained its former glory, once again becoming the lofty Imperial Family! When a blind man regains his sight, the first thing he often does is throw away his cane. The sad part of human nature is that those who return to the throne always regard the hardships experienced during their downfall as an unbearable shame! And the Mo Family was the greatest shame of the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword! As an Imperial Family, the Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword had its own pride. If it weren''t for desperation, they would never have chosen to marry into a family like the Mo Family. Therefore, the rejuvenated Wang Family of the Heavenly Sword saw the Mo Family as a thorn in their side, a problem in their eyes. The Mo Family, with their keen senses, quickly realized the crisis they were about to face. The Mo Family''s patriarch, Mo Kang, made a decisive decision to cut off losses for survival. Through a large amount of emotional appeal, the Mo Family successfully avoided the calamity. Eventually, the Mo Family moved away from the Heavenly Sword City to a desolate border area to restart their business, leaving only the mother, Mo Wange, as the sacrifice of this marriage. That year, Wang Xianxian had just been born. Chapter 5: Wang Xianxian Because Wang Xianxian was young, the Wang family did not make things too difficult for Mo Wangge. The mother and son thus spent a warm and affectionate decade together. Of course, the only thing missing in these ten years was their father, Wang Jian Nian. After the status of the Wang family changed, many family members started to get busy. Shortly after the birth of Wang Xianxian, Wang Jian Nian chose to go to the imperial capital to manage the new family business. In this process, he met the daughter of the Murong family in the imperial capital, Murong Wan, and the two developed feelings for each other. After the Murong family learned about it, they were not angry despite Wang Jian Nian being a married man. On the contrary, they even proposed to betroth Murong Wan to Wang Jian Nian. This was to demonstrate the Murong family''s sincerity and determination to mend the rift with the Tianjian Wang family. Faced with huge benefits and the other party''s humble attitude, the senior members of the Wang family eventually agreed to this somewhat absurd proposal. Thus, Mo Wangge became a thorn in the side of both the Wang family and the Murong family. Faced with humiliation and injustice, the great mother chose to compromise for the sake of her child. After that, Wang Jian Nian settled in a new home in the imperial capital. That year, Wang Xianxian had just turned one. The heartbroken Mo Wangge tried to take her son back to her maternal home for care. Unexpectedly, the Mo family, fearing the Wang family, chose to sever ties with Mo Wangge directly. With no way out, Mo Wangge had no choice but to stay. Sadly, fate did not spare this tragic woman. Due to an accident, she was found drowned in a pond. That year, Wang Xianxian was ten years old. Coincidentally, shortly after Mo Wangge''s death, Wang Jian Nian returned to the Tianjian ancestral home with Wang Xianxian''s stepmother and a brother who was only two years younger than him, and Wang Xianxian''s life became a nightmare. The stepmother, who was kind in appearance but sharp and mean behind the back. The arrogant and domineering brother, who bullied him at will, relying on being favored. His father, who had no affection for him and even some disgust. At the mere age of ten, Wang Xianxian lived a life like walking on thin ice in his own home. As a child, he deeply longed for his father''s love. Especially after Wang Xianxian had just lost his mother, he was desperate to get closer to his father. However, every cautious approach by the child was met with disdainful scolding. Wang Xianxian could only hide in a corner and watch his father and brother play happily together. Such smiles were something his father had never given him. Wang Xianxian trained hard every day, hoping to gain his father''s praise and recognition, but his father never gave him a second look. This kind of life lasted for five years. After Wang Xianxian entered junior high school, Wang Jian Nian''s attitude towards him got worse and worse, A big reason for this was because Wang Xianxian''s talents were quite ordinary. Wang Xianxian''s talents were not outstanding, but they were definitely not bad. It''s just that his half-brother, Wang Beichen, was simply too dazzling, Wang Beichen''s talent was extremely exaggerated, almost demonic. Whether it was comprehension or physical fitness, Wang Beichen showed talent far beyond ordinary people. There are nine realms in the cultivation of martial artists, namely: First Realm: Meridian Opening, Second Realm: Blood Refining, Third Realm: Bone Tempering. Fourth Realm: Starry Sky, Fifth Realm: Bright Moon, Sixth Realm: Sun Burning Seventh Realm: Dao Comprehension, Eighth Realm: Dao Integration, Ninth Realm: Ascension. Humans begin to officially absorb spiritual energy through their meridians at the age of ten, which also symbolizes the beginning of cultivation. To awaken one''s profession and talent, besides waiting until fifteen, there is another way. That is to reach the Second Realm: Blood Refining! Wang Beichen, who was two years younger than Wang Xianxian, achieved in three years what Wang Xianxian couldn''t in five. Half a month ago, Wang Beichen fully opened all twelve meridians, successfully breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm. Therefore, he was able to awaken his profession early, An existence that can awaken their profession early is without exception a favored child of heaven. Today, not only did he awaken a rare profession, but he also awakened an X-level talent. The gap between the two was like a chasm. In fact, Wang Xianxian had tried to understand his father, because Wang Beichen''s talents indeed deserved this favor. But Wang Xianxian really asked for very little; he just wanted a bit of love, even just a little bit. At a tender age, in his heart, besides his mother, there was only his father. However, his father was really stingy, so stingy that Wang Xianxian completely lost hope in him. The profession he awakened today was the last straw that broke his back. Over the years, he never stopped cultivating and studying, Even facing bullying led by Wang Beichen, he never wavered in his determination. It was all to awaken a decent profession and talent today. He wanted to make his mother proud in the netherworld; he also wanted everyone to know that Wang Xianxian was Mo Wangge''s son. But now it seems, his dream has completely shattered. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report itNot only did he awaken a life-system profession, but even the most important talent awakening failed, Now, he has completely become a laughingstock of the family. His mother would be ashamed because of him, his father would disregard him even more, and the clan members would bully him even more recklessly. He dared not imagine his future life, because he saw not a sliver of hope, At this moment, Wang Xianxian completely lost the will to live. No matter how mature his mind was, he was only fifteen years old Stuck in this cannibalistic family for fifteen years, without freedom, unable to control his own destiny. To say they were clan members, they were actually more like slaves. The motivation that had kept him going had now been extinguished. Wang Xianxian looked at the glass bottle by the bed and slowly reached out his hand. Accompanied by a crisp sound of glass shattering. He picked up the broken glass shards from the ground with his hand, then placed a shard against his neck. The boy closed his eyes tightly, and his hand holding the glass shard kept increasing its force. As the force increased, blood continuously seeped out from the skin under the glass shard. Wang Xianxian took a deep breath, just as he was about to end his life. "Xianxian, why do you always hurt yourself, you shouldn''t do this, you know, mom will be heartbroken......." Memories of the past, like spring rain, moistened the boy''s wounded heart. The hand of the boy holding the shard began to tremble. Eventually, Wang Xianxian dropped the glass shard from his hand. After simple first aid, Wang Xianxian walked out of the infirmary, Just out the door, he saw Li Yue and Zhao Hu pacing outside the corridor. Seeing Wang Xianxian, the two became somewhat at a loss. Wang Xianxian knew, his friends were worried they would hurt his self-esteem. "Li Yue, Zhao Hu, congratulations on awakening S-level talents." Zhao Hu braced himself and said: "Xian brother, you..... "Wang Xianxian teased, "I say, Zhao Hu, what''s the matter with you, you''ve awakened an S-level talent and you''re still not happy, are you acting coy after getting a bargain?" "I... I didn''t, Xian brother, you misunderstood me." Wang Xianxian directly interrupted Zhao Hu: "Don''t worry about me, I''m fine, I don''t want to affect your good mood because of me. "Anyway, awakening an S-level talent is a significant event for you. "We should be happy about good things. "Besides, I''m also a descendant of the Wang family, even if I do nothing, I won''t worry about food and clothing, why worry about me? "I''m still waiting to ride on your coattails." After comforting them, the two seemed to relax a bit. "Xian brother, Li Yue has already met with the military school''s officers, and they are willing to directly recruit her into the military school. Wang Xianxian was not surprised. Li Yue''s profession was a battlefield medic, a scarce talent for the military, not to mention her talent could grant warriors immunity to death. Her value to the military was probably not less than that of SSS-level talent holders. "And you?" Wang Xianxian asked Zhao Hu. Seeing Zhao Hu somewhat hesitant, Li Yue gave him a look, "He got lucky because of me, and was recruited together." Zhao Hu broke down. "What do you mean lucky because of you, my talent is also incredibly strong, okay. "Hmph." Li Yue snorted coldly, "If it weren''t for me, would the military school recruit you? "Recruit you as a cook to the cooking class? Zhao Hu broke down again: "You''re discriminating against chefs, this is discrimination against chefs!!! "I''m a chef who can make spiritual food, I can fight and cook, how am I inferior to you?" Watching the two bicker, Wang Xianxian couldn''t help but smile. Actually, what Li Yue said wasn''t wrong at all, although both S-level, but in terms of battlefield strategic value, Zhao Hu indeed was not as valuable as Li Yue. If it wasn''t for Li Yue, Zhao Hu might really have gone to a key high school. "I''ll treat you to a meal, let''s celebrate." Hearing this, Li Yue and Zhao Hu looked at each other, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Xian brother, we came to say goodbye, the military school''s special recruitment has a training plan, so...... Seeing Zhao Hu stuck, Li Yue continued. "So, we have to leave tonight, and we need to do some paperwork this afternoon." Hearing this, Wang Xianxian suddenly felt a bit of sourness in his heart, but he quickly adjusted himself. "This is a good thing, it''s not like we''re losing touch, when it''s holiday time, I''ll make it up to you. "Okay." The three chatted and walked, just like the usual days when they went home from school together, When they reached a crossroads, Wang Xianxian took the initiative to speak. "Then I won''t see you off, see you in a while." The three reluctantly chatted for a while, then parted ways. Wang Xianxian turned back and stood by the roadside, watching the backs of the two bickering, an emptiness involuntarily rose in his heart. Watching their figures disappear into the crowd, Wang Xianxian softly said, "May your future be bright and your martial fortune prosperous." With that, he turned to look ahead, in the direction of home. Although he didn''t want to face reality, some things were ultimately unavoidable. So far, the boy''s entire life was marked by failure, but that didn''t stop him from moving forward... Chapter 6: The Hypocritical Family "Brewmaster, to awaken such a profession and still have the face to step into our household! Thunderous roars echoed in the luxurious hall, shaking the very air. The middle-aged man with black hair and white robes clutched tightly at a profession awakening chart, as a tsunami-like terrifying aura erupted continuously from within him. "A disgrace, not even having the courage to take your own life! Bang!!! The profession awakening chart was slammed onto the table. (Profession Awakening Registration Form) [School: Tiansword City Second Junior High School] [Class: Junior Year 3, Class 8] [Name: Wang Xianxian] [Age: 15] [Realm: Vein Opening Realm - Nine Veins] [Profession: Brewmaster] [Talent: Awakening Failed (Does not rule out the possibility of undetected weak talent)] [Overall Assessment: F] [Recommendation: The student''s awakened profession falls under the category of life professions. Due to the lack of talent, it is recommended that the student does not advance to Tianwu High School. (Recommendation for reference only, please make a judgment based on your family''s situation.)] Wang Xianxian bowed his head deeply, his eyes lifelessly fixed on the form on the table. The words on the form were especially stark, especially the ones highlighted in red indicating the failure of talent awakening. These few red words, along with his father''s insults, pierced through the young boy''s fragile self-esteem like a sword. "The Wang family of Tiansword has been prestigious for thousands of years, renowned both at home and abroad! For thousands of years, the professions awakened by our Wang family descendants have all been sword-related, without exception!" "Only you! Only you awakened as a Brewmaster!" "Even failing to awaken any talent!" "Do you want to disgrace our family, you worthless thing!" Facing his father''s fury, Wang Xianxian did not show much emotion, as he was already accustomed to his father''s verbal abuse and rage. Wang Jianyan stared at Wang Xianxian, who was bowing his head, with extreme disgust in his eyes. At this moment, the noblewoman sitting beside stood up slowly and came to Wang Jianyan''s side, massaging his temples. "Jianyan, don''t ruin your health over this. "Think of something happy, our Beichen has not only awakened a rare profession but also reached X-level talent. "The government has already called to inquire, and the ten elders have exited their seclusion for this. "You¡¯re meeting the elders soon, you can''t leave a bad impression on them, especially with the clan leader election coming up. Hearing his wife''s words, Wang Jianyan''s expression eased a bit, and he snorted coldly. "Disgraceful thing, your mother pleads on your behalf, and you don''t even know to be grateful. Where are your manners!" Yet, Wang Xianxian remained unmoved by these words, silently standing in place. This action further enraged Wang Jianyan. "You worthless thing, are you deaf! Hearing this, the young man finally raised his head. "She is not my mother. This statement caused the atmosphere in the room to plummet to freezing point. Wang Jianyan stared fiercely at his own son, as if he wanted to devour him alive. "Dare to say that again!" Wang Xianxian calmly looked at his father, and said word by word, "She is not my mother, my mother is Mo Wan''ge, and she has been gone for five years. As soon as these words were spoken, a towering pressure directly surged towards Wang Xianxian. The slender figure of the young man could hardly bear this immense pressure! Just as Wang Jianyan was about to make his move, a voice from outside the door came, "Third Master, the ten elders request your and the Third Madam''s presence, along with Young Master Xianxian, at the ancestral hall for a discussion." The guard''s words stopped Wang Jianyan from his intention to deal with Wang Xianxian. He looked disdainfully at the young man who collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. "The profession of Brewmaster, indeed just like that wine-loving wench Mo Wan''ge." After saying this, Wang Jianyan walked out with his wife. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.Just as he was about to leave the hall, Wang Jianyan suddenly stopped, "You worthless thing, hurry up and follow!" Wang Xianxian struggled to stand up from the ground. He watched as his father and stepmother left arm in arm, his face twisted in rage, veins bulging. "My mother is humiliated, I wish I could rush up and devour their flesh, drink their blood! But, dignity only lies at the edge of the sword, the dignity of the weak is worthless. After a moment of silence, the young man loosened his clenched fists and lowered his head to follow. Wang Jianyan, walking in front, glanced back at Wang Xianxian, then asked his wife, "Is everything arranged? Murong Wan sneered contemptuously: "Rest assured, the evidence has already been placed in his room. "Remember not to show any flaws," Wang Jianyan repeatedly cautioned, "During this critical period, any accident could lead to failure in the election. Murong Wan patted her husband''s arm, softly saying, "With Beichen here, which clan elder wouldn''t give us some face? "As long as we deal with Wang Xianxian, this little burden, there will be no more worries. Hearing the name Wang Xianxian, Wang Jianyan gritted his teeth and said, "Awakening such a trash profession, truly disgracing my face! "Surely, someone will make an issue out of this, so we must strike first!" Murong Wan comforted: "Don''t worry, Jianyan, we still have Beichen. After dealing with that little waste today, let''s see who dares to bring this up in front of you. "No matter what, Beichen''s talent is now related to the future of our family. The elders will not be too harsh on you. Thinking of his younger son, Wang Jianyan patted his wife''s hand, softly saying, "Having a wife like you, what more could I ask for? Having you as my wife is the greatest fortune of my life. Hearing this, Murong Wan leaned her head on Wang Jianyan''s shoulder: "As long as our family of three stays united, nothing can stop us... ... Wang Family Ancestral Hall. As a legendary family with nearly ten thousand years of heritage, the Wang family''s ancestral hall was astonishingly large. This place was not only where the clan members worshipped their ancestors but also where major decisions within the clan were made. Large family clans have a very sophisticated organizational structure and distribution of authority. Unlike what is often depicted in novels, the strength of the head of a large Chinese family is not necessarily strong. Because cultivation often requires a pure heart of seeking the Dao, one must be fully committed to their practice. Top-level experts find it difficult to maintain their cultivation speed while dealing with the many affairs of the family. Thus, each clan member has a different role within the family, Simply put, the clan divides its members into two categories: business and martial. Martial clan members, with exceptional talent, are solely responsible for concentrating on cultivation, earning merits for the family, and confronting enemies when necessary. They are the most crucial support for the family! Business clan members, with average talent, are responsible for managing the family''s many businesses, securing various resources for the martial clan members'' cultivation. In an era dominated by mythical beasts, humans naturally follow their instincts and choose to rely on each other in the form of families, hence the concept of family is highly valued in this world! Normally, there would never be a situation where martial clan members look down upon business clan members, The clan members are connected by blood, respecting and supporting each other. Their goal is to better manage the family. However, due to Wang Beichen''s special status, he was specifically targeted by the clan members. What Wang Xianxian didn''t understand was why the clan had summoned him here. He looked bewilderedly at the hundreds of elders inside the ancestral hall, From their expressions, it was not hard to tell that something significant was about to happen today. Chapter 7: Silent Dogs Bite Wang Xianxian had barely stepped into the ancestral hall when he felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere. The grand hall was solemn, and the elders seated around, all high-ranking members of the Wang clan. Although not everyone was present, most of those in the Tianjian ancestral home had come. Sitting at the head of the table was an old man with white hair, the tenth elder of the family. This tenth elder was formidable in strength, with a very high status and seniority. He had emerged from seclusion just a few hours ago. The tenth elder did not pay much attention to his surroundings, simply sitting on his throne, eyes closed in meditation. It seemed as if he contained a deity within him, his mere presence exuding an extremely terrifying oppressive force. Sitting below the tenth elder was the current patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Xiao. He was the biological father of Wang Jian and the grandfather of Wang Xianxian. And sitting next to Wang Xiao was a young face. Wang Beichen! Wang Beichen was always surrounded by many clan members, his presence commanding attention wherever he went. Because he was Wang Beichen, the pride of this generation in the Tianjian Wang family. The patriarch, looking at Wang Xianxian standing in the back, furrowed his brows, his tone somewhat displeased. "Wang Xianxian, do you know why I specifically called you here?" Faced with his grandfather''s pressure, Wang Xianxian immediately bowed. "Reporting to Grandfather, Xianxian does not know." "Do not know?" Wang Xiao snorted coldly, "Are you truly unaware, or are you pretending not to know?" Wang Xianxian''s face was full of confusion; he couldn''t recall doing anything. Seeing his grandson''s puzzled face, Wang Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what people are saying about your father outside?" Wang Xianxian''s body jerked; he seemed to understand his situation. Seeing Wang Xianxian remain silent, the patriarch laughed angrily. "Now, outside, there are rumors that our Wang family is harboring a bastard. "For nearly nine thousand eight hundred years of our family''s history, you are the only one to awaken such a destiny. "Do you realize your mistake?" Wang Xianxian, head bowed, felt a sense of desolation and smiled bitterly. "May I ask, Patriarch, what wrong have I committed?" "What wrong?" Wang Xiao''s gaze darkened, "You''ve made our Wang family a laughingstock, and you still ask me what wrong you''ve committed!" Wang Xianxian raised his head to look at his grandfather sitting high above. "Is destiny something I can decide? "Have I ever thought of disgracing our family''s honor? "Bastard? The bloodline of a great emperor naturally senses kinship. Whether I am a bastard or not, do you not know?" The young man''s questioning made Wang Xiao''s face turn somewhat ugly. He hadn''t expected the usually silent and reticent Wang Xianxian to have the courage to talk back to him in public. Just when the atmosphere became tense, Wang Jian stepped out from the crowd. He knelt down before his father and kowtowed. "The fault of the son is the father''s; not teaching my child properly is my fault. I am willing to bear the punishment on behalf of my son. "Please, for the sake of Xianxian still being young, give him another chance." Wang Xianxian, hearing this, felt his heart cool. He couldn''t believe his father would protect him in this way; Wang Jian''s words must be a show. And performing such a show here meant that the situation was still under Wang Jian''s control. Almost instantly, Wang Xianxian guessed that he might have been set up. Sure enough, as soon as this thought emerged, Wang Xiao spoke indifferently, "Bear the punishment on behalf of your son? Do you know the real reason I called Wang Xianxian here? "He was called here because of the theft of the Cold Orchid Heart. "Recently, the Murong family, to celebrate Beichen''s breakthrough to the Blood Refinement Realm, specially gifted our Wang family with the precious Cold Orchid Heart. "However, on the very night, the Cold Orchid Heart was unexpectedly stolen. "Therefore, I ordered Wang Beichen to personally investigate this case. "Beichen, tell the elders the truth about the theft of the Cold Orchid Heart." Upon hearing this, Wang Beichen stood up proudly. "Elders, after two weeks of investigation, the thief is indeed my elder brother, Wang Xianxian." Wang Beichen''s loud voice echoed through the spacious ancestral hall. Everyone turned their shocked faces towards Wang Jian, who was kneeling before the patriarch. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!Those seated here participating in the clan''s discussion were not fools; they were mostly old foxes skilled in scheming. Wang Beichen''s words, to their ears, clearly revealed his intentions. They were all shocked by Wang Jian''s ruthlessness; he actually planned to sacrifice his eldest son! However, although they were clear in their minds, obviously, no one wanted to offend Wang Jian. Because such a matter might very well have been condoned by the patriarch! A high-ranking member squinted slightly upon hearing this. "Are you certain? This matter is of a serious nature; let''s not wrong the child." Wang Jian stood up abruptly, roaring at Wang Beichen, "Rubbish! I tasked you with finding the thief, and you dare accuse your own brother!" Hearing his father''s scolding, Wang Beichen said aggrievedly, "But the Cold Orchid Heart was originally mine, and Grandfather tasked me with the investigation for this reason. "Father, I know you don''t want to accept this reality, but this time, both human and material evidence are conclusive. "Moreover, this is a conclusion reached together with other family elders. Uncle Five also knows about this. "Because he is my brother, I have verified it repeatedly; the criminal is undoubtedly my brother. According to family rules, stealing a family treasure should result in whipping and expulsion from the family, but I am somewhat undecided, so..." Hearing this, Patriarch Wang Xiao spoke sternly, "Any family member who violates the family rules shall not enjoy any special privileges, even if they are my own grandchildren!" Wang Jian, as if stupefied, looked bewildered. "How could Xianxian possibly... Although he indeed has many faults on a regular basis, but..." "Hmph!" Wang Xiao snorted, "This is the son you''ve raised!" At that moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood up from the crowd. He was Wang Jianquan, Wang Xianxian''s fifth uncle, also Wang Jian''s left-hand man. "Patriarch, I don''t think this can be blamed on Brother Three. "Beichen and Wang Xianxian are both Brother Three''s children; why is only Beichen kind-hearted, polite, and well-behaved? "I also didn''t believe Brother Three''s child could do such a thing." "But after all, Nephew Xianxian was personally raised by Mo Wan''ge." "What can you expect from a drunkard raising a child? "The reason Beichen is so outstanding is because of the good education provided by Brother Three and Sister-in-law. "It must be because Xianxian didn''t receive proper education when he was young, leading him to do such a thing. That Mo Wan''ge has long harbored resentment against our Wang family, surely venting her anger on Nephew Xianxian. "Moreover, that drunkard Mo Wan''ge gets herself drunk every day, constantly indulging in debauchery outside... Ah!!!" The scream instantly filled the ancestral hall. Everyone quickly looked over, only to see Wang Xianxian tightly holding onto Wang Jianquan''s left arm. The young boy''s head was deeply buried in the crook of the arm. No one knew what exactly had happened, nor did anyone understand why Wang Jianquan would scream like that. Although Wang Jianquan''s martial prowess was weak, it shouldn''t have been to the extent that a child could make him scream like that. The guards in the hall hurriedly separated the two. As soon as they were separated, Wang Jianquan, with a pained expression, covered his left hand. Looking closely, everyone was horrified to discover that a small section of Wang Jianquan''s left thumb had been bitten off. The wound was continuously spurting fresh blood! And the main culprit was that child they had all been ignoring! The silent young boy had actually bitten off a section of his elder''s thumb! "Hehehe..." The young boy spat out the piece of thumb from his mouth and laughed wildly. The fresh blood remaining on his lips and teeth made Wang Xianxian appear especially terrifying at this moment. Wang Jianquan, facing the laughing young boy, kept roaring, "I''ll kill you, I will kill you!!!" Hearing this, Wang Xianxian glanced at Wang Jianquan, then mockingly said, "Didn''t you know, insulting someone''s mother in front of their child is a very despicable act? "Oh~ Perhaps it''s because you, this idiot, didn''t receive proper education when you were young, so you ended up doing such a thing. "Today, young master will teach you a lesson; after insulting someone else''s mother, you will be retaliated against. "Remember this well, this time''s tuition fee is only one finger of yours!" Astonishing words! Chapter 8: The Youths Interrogation Wang Jian looked incredulously at the rampaging son beside him. He simply couldn''t reconcile the current Wang Xianxian with the always compliant son of the past. Those in the Wang clan who knew Wang Xianxian''s character were equally shocked by the young man''s frenzied behavior, so much so that even the usually meditative Elder Ten squinted and glanced at Wang Xianxian. Seizing the opportunity, Wang Xianxian knelt directly in front of the statue of the Sword Emperor. "Descendant Wang Xianxian swears by his bloodline, earnestly begging for the protection of our ancestors!" As soon as these words fell, the statue of the Sword Emperor burst into a golden glow, enveloping Wang Xianxian within it. This was the [Ancestral Protection], a blessing power bestowed by the ancestors found in every clan''s ancestral hall. These blessing powers are the family''s last line of defense. The activation condition for the [Ancestral Protection] requires clan members to sacrifice their own bloodline. Having received the Ancestral Protection, Wang Xianxian felt an unparalleled power protecting him. Feeling this supreme power, Wang Xianxian laughed wildly. Before the power of his bloodline was exhausted, no one could lay a hand on him! For Wang Xianxian, he could endure the hardships of life, but he absolutely couldn''t tolerate slander from his own blood. Stealing the family''s treasures, if this accusation were to be established, it was uncertain whether he could survive. His father could no longer be described as simply heartless, Even beasts do not eat their own offspring, he''s worse than an animal! The anger suppressed in his heart for a long time was finally ignited at this moment, Life was already difficult, he no longer wanted to endure. Even if it meant death, he would not let that beast of a father solve the problem smoothly! After his wild laughter, Wang Xianxian first directed his spearhead at his fifth uncle, Wang Jianquan. "Uneducated dog thing, do you even know how to frame others? "Can''t even handle such a small matter, did my conscience-less father not pay you your acting fee?" Upon hearing this, Wang Jian''s face darkened. Pointing at Wang Xianxian, he was so angry that he couldn''t speak for a long time, "You... you... Seeing this, Wang Xianxian mocked, "What? Got nothing to say? Can''t act when the script goes off track, huh? "How afraid are you of me staying in the family?" "You just think that I will become a handle for your opponents to attack you, right? "Wang Jian, it''s funny how you''re so scheming to drive me away, not knowing that I can''t wait to leave this family.,"I''m willing to fulfill your wish, I''m willing to exit your life, allowing your family of three to live happily together, never bothering you again. I can accept leaving on my own, but I will never accept being kicked out of the house in such a manner! Throwing filth on me, yet you wish to remain unscathed?" "In your dreams! After that, he once again turned his spearhead towards Wang Beichen. "My dear brother, you accuse me of stealing your treasure, you say the evidence is conclusive, right? Today, in front of our ancestors, I, Wang Xianxian, hereby make a heavenly oath. Heaven above, the sun and the moon as witnesses, I, Wang Xianxian, today swear by my soul, bloodline, and martial path!" If I, Wang Xianxian, have stolen Wang Beichen''s treasure, may heaven and earth punish me, the sun and moon extinguish, my soul destroyed, never to be reincarnated!" As soon as these words were spoken, a righteous energy surged down from the heavens. Feeling the righteous energy around him, Wang Xianxian sneered. Wang Beichen, did you truly not expect me to make a heavenly oath? "Did you all initially plan to control me, never anticipating that I would activate the Ancestral Protection? "Now, the ancestors, heaven, and the martial path have all borne witness for me, do you dare to make a heavenly oath as well? "Stealing treasures within the clan warrants expulsion from the family, so what should be the punishment for slandering your own elder brother!!! Wang Xianxian''s thunderous interrogation instantly turned Wang Beichen''s face pale. His entire body began to tremble with fear. Seeing this, Wang Xianxian sneered disdainfully. "Heh, all show and no substance. "If you could learn even half of your mother''s cunning, you wouldn''t look so pathetic right now!" Ignoring the vicious expression of his stepmother, Wang Xianxian turned to look at his grandfather sitting in the high seat, "Old Bi Deng, how comfortable is it to sit in the position of clan leader? "Worthless dog thing, you''ve led the family to bankruptcy, yet you still have the face to sit there? "You chose to abandon the imperial family''s honor, yet you''re still the one who talks about it. "You feel ashamed, then you can choose to continue being arrogant, not marrying into the Mo family. You''re afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of being removed from the clan leader position, shamelessly seeking cooperation with the Mo family. "In the end, when there was news from the old ancestors and the family improved, you kicked them away. "Old dog, do you really think the rise of the family has anything to do with you? "Do you know why I call you an old dog? It''s because in that situation, tying a dog as the clan leader would have led to a rise! "Chick hatching eggs, are you pretending to be your mother?" Don''t you have any shame? Is the imperial family''s honor without any sense of contract? Is the imperial family''s honor about turning your back on others? Is the imperial family''s honor about encouraging sons to abandon their wives and remarry? Honor my ass! "Are you a dog of the Murong family, wagging your tail for some treats? As a father, you fail to teach your son, condoning him to challenge public order and good customs! Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.As a grandfather, you''re biased and cold, ignoring your grandson being bullied by his brothers, even intentionally framing your own grandson! As a clan leader, you''re incompetent, allowing the younger generation to engage in intrigue, competing for power and position. As a descendant, you''re utterly rebellious, disappointing the expectations of the elders in the clan, insulting the family''s image. "No matter what you do, you can''t change the fact that you''re the most incompetent clan leader in the Wang family''s thousands of years!" Wang Xianxian''s sharp and straightforward words directly tore off Wang Xiao''s fig leaf. Hearing his grandson''s blatant insults, this high and mighty clan leader was so angry he could barely breathe. After venting at his grandfather, Wang Xianxian''s sharp gaze swept across all the elders present. "Elders, heh, look at what kind of elder appearance you all have!" "A fifteen-year-old clan member easily stealing the family''s treasures, you actually believe such nonsense? "Oh~ you''re so smart, you must know, but you''ll never say! "I really find it hard to believe we''re blood-related relatives. "Look at who''s bullying me, my father, uncles, grandfather, cousins... "Watching your own blood suffer, does that make you happy? "Your bones reek of arrogance, in your eyes, aside from the imperial family, everyone else is insignificant!" "You dare not face the reality of the family''s decline, just indulging in past glory, forever drunk in dreams!" "Bullshit family honor, a family that doesn''t know how to cherish its own people, what kind of family honor are you talking about!" The youth''s interrogation hammered continuously on everyone''s hearts. The insulted Wang Jian could no longer restrain his anger. He rushed directly in front of Wang Xianxian, then slapped down Unharmed! The protection granted by the bloodline''s power was incredibly strong Seeing his father''s furious expression, Wang Xianxian mocked, "Usually, when you hit me, you''re quite strong, how come you''re so weak today? At this moment, Wang Jian, who should have been furious, actually suppressed his anger. Looking at the dispirited Wang Xianxian, Wang Jian sneered. "All these words have been in your heart for a long time, haven''t they? "It seems your resentment towards me is not ordinary, huh? "Is this resentment inherited from Mo Wan Ge? "Even if your worthless mother harbored resentment, what use would it be? "Still gave birth to such a little waste like you? "Don''t you know the principle of ''the son''s honor is the mother''s glory''? "She suffered all the humiliations in this family, what could you, this waste, do for her? "No matter what you say, the clan members still look down on people. Do you think your grievances have been cleared, do you think your brother will be punished because of this?" "Wishful thinking!" "No matter what, you can''t change the status of Mo Wan Ge, that cheap woman." "Similarly, you can''t shake the status of me and your stepmother. "Do you know why?" Wang Jian looked mockingly at the pale-faced Wang Xianxian. "Because your brother Wang Beichen, unlike you, this waste, your brother is a peerless genius! His talent ranks within the top ten in the family''s thousands of years of history. As long as he doesn''t fall, he will surely become an elder in the future!" By then, I will be the father of an elder, and your stepmother will be the mother of an elder. "Our names will not only be specially marked in the clan records, but also be revered by future generations. Wang Jian seemed to have caught Wang Xianxian''s weak point, and he began to output crazily. "As for you, after today, your name will be removed from the clan records along with Mo Wan Ge. "In a few years, no one will know of your existence, so, your resistance is meaningless. "And the chief culprit for all this is you! Your mother''s miserable life, the chief culprit is still you! "Everything, everything, is because of you!" "What is this? A waste''s venting before death? "Get a taste of it, then go to death without regrets? "Since it''s like this, then I just want to make you die with your eyes open. At this point, Wang Jian revealed a sick smile on his face He leaned over to Wang Xianxian''s ear, whispering, "Do you really think Mo Wan Ge''s death was an accident?" She committed suicide... "I told her, if she didn''t die, I would make both of you die together... "That stupid woman knelt in front of me, begging me to spare you... "Her posture was so lowly, just like a dog, which pleased me greatly, so I was merciful for once, and agreed......." "Even though I made her die, she was still grateful to me, tell me, isn''t she cheap?" "Hehehe... The youth in front of him, his body suddenly trembled violently, He slowly raised his head, that delicate and young face now resembled a demon from hell! The raging emotions overwhelmed Wang Xianxian''s reason, and the blood tears flowing from the corners of his eyes kept telling everyone of his pain! Such a ferocious and terrifying appearance made everyone present tremble a bit. Beast!!! I''ll kill you!!! I want to kill you!!!!!! Wang Xianxian rushed towards Wang Jian without holding back. Turns out to be a waste, hehe... Saying this, Wang Jian directly grabbed the furiously angry Wang Xianxian with one hand. While restraining Wang Xianxian, he did not forget to continue his verbal attack, "Just now, when you wanted to die quickly, I didn''t let you die. "Now, you probably desperately want to live, but I can''t satisfy your wish either. "Do you want to live, then become stronger, and seek revenge against me? "Don''t worry, I won''t give you that chance. Looking at the continuously howling Wang Xianxian, Wang Jian felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart. Those who defy him will ultimately be punished by him! Chapter 9: Humiliation and Redemption Wang Xianxian exerted all his might to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t break free from Wang Jian Nian''s restraint. The gap in strength was too vast! As time passed, the bloodline power within Wang Xianxian was completely exhausted. The protective power from his ancestors also completely dissipated. Almost at the same moment, Wang Jian Nian forcefully slapped Wang Xianxian''s throat. The frail body of the young man was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall. Wang Xianxian, in agony, covered his throat, unable to speak, The exhaustion of his bloodline power also left him completely powerless. Wang Xianxian collapsed to the ground like a corpse, his eyes filled with brutal rage staring dead at Wang Jian Nian. Wang Jian Nian completely ignored the youth lying on the ground. He knelt down again in front of the clan leader. "Clan leader, Wang Xianxian has committed insubordination, wantonly insulted his elders, and even physically attacked them. According to the clan rules, his spiritual veins should be abolished, and after receiving the whipping punishment, he should be expelled from the family!" The elders, upon hearing this, looked at each other. Under the threatening gaze of Wang Jian Nian, no one dared to plead for mercy. Clan leader Wang Xiao''s gaze was equally ferocious as he looked at Wang Xianxian lying on the ground. "Approved. Since you are Wang Xianxian''s father, you shall handle it personally." Upon hearing these words, the look in the eyes of the people present at the young man changed, each bearing a hint of pity. Falling into the hands of Wang Jian Nian, it was uncertain what kind of torture he would endure. Just then, the elder sitting in the highest position suddenly slammed the table, "Who allowed you to act violently in the ancestral hall?" The sudden rebuke made Wang Jian Nian hurriedly kneel down. "My apologies, elder, I was only worried that the rebel would spout nonsense here, displeasing you." "Are you worried about displeasing me, or are you worried about what the child might say!" The elder scoffed coldly. After speaking, he looked around and found that no one dared to meet his gaze. "It seems that the disrespectful youngster wasn''t merely speaking nonsense." After a cold laugh, the elder walked straight to Wang Xianxian''s side. He looked down at Wang Xianxian, who was continuously trying to get up, and then picked him up with one hand. A massive amount of spiritual energy surged out of the elder''s body, rushing directly towards Wang Xianxian''s spiritual veins. In an instant, the young man''s spiritual veins were shattered by the overpowering spiritual force. The intense pain almost made Wang Xianxian faint. The elder spoke indifferently, "I don''t care what happened between you, but violating clan rules is inexcusable. "As an elder, I have the authority to enforce family law. Wang Xianxian''s spiritual veins have now been shattered by me. Does anyone have any objections?" Everyone shook their heads, even Wang Jian Nian dared not say a word of objection. The elder looked down at Wang Xianxian, who was lying on the ground convulsing, pondering something. After a long while, the elder spoke in a low voice. "Wang Xianxian, I''ll give you a chance. As long as you can walk out of the ancestral mansion''s gate before the sun completely sets, you will be spared from the whipping punishment!" Hearing the elder''s words, Wang Xianxian, whose reason had been obscured by rage, suddenly became much clearer. His bloodshot eyes stared dead at Wang Jian Nian, without uttering another word. The young man struggled to stand up from the ground, then with steps as heavy as mountains, step by step, he moved towards the outside of the ancestral hall. He knew that with his current strength, he was incapable of seeking revenge, perhaps even in the future. But no matter what, he had to survive! Survive at all costs! Only by living, is there hope! Wang Jian Nian, that beast, was right about one thing, Currently, he was of no value compared to Wang Beichen. "You probably have three hours left." The elder''s reminder echoed in Wang Xianxian''s ears as he struggled to take steps, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The heavy footsteps continuously echoed in the ancestral hall. Because his spiritual veins were shattered, bright red blood kept oozing from his pores. Blood flowed down his body, and with each step he took, he left behind crimson footprints soaked in blood on the ground. Everyone who saw it was deeply shocked. Meanwhile, a white beast hiding outside the Wang family''s ancestral hall eavesdropping, blinked its eyes and ran towards the deeper parts of the Wang family mansion. In the core area of the Wang family mansion, there was a luxurious courtyard. An old man and a young girl were sitting opposite each other at a stone table in the courtyard, The white-haired elder, seeing the white beast run in flusteredly, shook his head helplessly. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it."I have repeatedly emphasized to you to be more composed. This is not our Kunlun Ruins..." The white beast ignored its master''s words, jumping onto the stone table, and spoke clearly. "Master, your highness, there''s juicy news." The pink-haired girl smiled and stroked the back of the white beast. "Listen, don''t rush, speak slowly." Little Listen quickly organized its words and described what it had just eavesdropped on to the two. "That''s what happened, master, your highness, humans are really scary." The pink-haired girl frowned upon hearing this. "Shallow Shallow, are you saying that the boy''s mother chose suicide for her child?" Little Listen shivered its ears, looking terrified, "Yes, your highness, that Wang Xianxian was initially in despair, seeking death, but upon learning this news, he went completely mad." "You have no idea how terrifying the hatred in his heart is. I just listened for a bit, and my soul was almost injured." After listening, the pink-haired girl fell into silence. After a moment, she looked at the elder opposite her. "Emperor Bai Ze, can we save that boy?" The elder known as Emperor Bai Ze shook his head. "Princess Xian''er, this is a matter of the Wang family, and we have no right to interfere." "I know why you want to save him, but we came to the Wang family this time to look for clues about the missing Sword Emperor." "Our identities are special, and any action we take might be overly interpreted." The relationship between the Wang family and other clan powers is intricate. If we interfere with their family affairs, it might cause suspicion among the major clans, adding unnecessary variables." Hearing this, Princess Xian''er lowered her head, pondering something. "If mother were still alive, she would definitely do this, please forgive my willfulness..." After speaking, Princess Xian''er bowed to the white-haired elder and then left the courtyard without looking back, leaving the elder alone to sigh. "Alas, foolish child..." On the grand avenue of the Wang family mansion. Being a royal family, the Wang family mansion was outrageously large. The scale of the mansion was even larger than ancient palaces, On ordinary days, the Wang family members would not linger in the front courtyard for too long. But today was different! At this moment, the front courtyard was filled with clan members, and their reason for staying here was simple: to watch the excitement. Wang Xianxian couldn''t remember how many times he had fallen. He looked at the sun that was about to set, struggling, trying to stand up again. "Holy shit, isn''t that Wang Xianxian? How did he end up like this?" "Shh, don''t speak so loudly. I heard that he insulted and attacked the elders in the ancestral hall and had his spiritual veins abolished." "The elder felt pity for him and made a deal with him: as long as he walks out of the gate before the sun sets, he will be spared from the whipping punishment." "No wonder he''s trying so hard. At such a young age, having his spiritual veins abolished, if he gets whipped on top of that, he''s definitely done for." "That''s what he deserves, insulting the elders, it''s against the heavens!" "Exactly, and he even awakened as a brewmaster, bringing shame to our family." The ridicule and insults from the surroundings didn''t disturb the young man''s state of mind. Honor, insults, dignity... All of these no longer mattered. Now, the only thought in Wang Xianxian''s mind was revenge! Thinking of his mother''s death, Wang Xianxian squeezed out a trace of strength from his exhausted and broken body once again. He stood up once more! Looking at the figure that, despite being covered in blood, was still firmly moving forward, the front courtyard suddenly became quiet. The clan members who were there to enjoy the spectacle also slowly became solemn, The willpower displayed by the young man was moving. Princess Xian''er hid among the crowd, looking at the blood-covered, staggering young man, her heart slightly fluctuated. She could feel the extreme pain in the young man''s heart, and she could see the towering rage and the chilling aura of brutality buried deep within him. Wang Xianxian, covered in blood and with a strong scent of blood, staggered to the gate. The five steps in front of him became his last obstacle. At this moment, most of the sun had already set behind the mountains. He was running out of time. When he struggled to step onto the fifth step, a ruthless and cold voice rang out next to Wang Xianxian''s ear. "The sun has set, you have failed." The elder''s words were like a death sentence to the young man. The surrounding clan members all sighed, but no one stepped forward to plead for him. Wang Xianxian looked at the gate that was within reach, his face filled with despair. Just as he was about to resign to his fate, a crisp voice sounded next to his ear. "He has not failed yet."
