Protect Our Chief-Chapter 548 - 35: Essence of Wood! The "Invincible" Path of the Young Clan Leader

...

Just when Wang Zong’an was in a daze and bewildered, the voice rang in his ear again.

"Young man, what are you spacing out for? Haven’t you ever seen a talking tree? Although I don’t like to talk much, that doesn’t mean I can’t. I’ve already used my divine sense to create a private space; ask whatever you wish, no one else can hear us."

These words exploded like a clap of thunder.

Wang Zong’an came to his senses and cautiously asked, "Are you the Longevity Tree, senior?"

"That’s right, I am indeed the Saint Tree that guards Eternal Spring Valley—the Longevity Tree," that slightly aged voice carried a hint of pride, "I have been here for thousands of years, witnessing and protecting countless generations of disciples from Eternal Spring Valley."

"Zong’an greets you, esteemed Longevity Tree." Wang Zong’an quickly bowed, respectfully saying, "Earlier, it seemed like you were preparing to bestow a Spirit Seed upon me? But I’m just a Grade C Upper Grade bloodline; what virtue or capability do I have to gain your favor?"

"Good lad~ Keeping a low profile, unfazed by praise or blame, there aren’t many young folks like you these days~" The Longevity Tree praised, "In this era, the bloodline of Celestial Pride is already excellent. It’s rare for you to not be arrogant, which pleases me greatly."

What is known as Upper Grade Bloodline Talent is the ability to awaken a second-layer bloodline in the Qi Refining Realm, a third-layer bloodline in the Spirit Platform Realm, reach the fourth-level Spirit Body in the Celestial Human Realm, and awaken the fifth-level Dao Body in the Purple Mansion Realm.

This level of bloodline talent is commonly referred to as—Celestial Pride!

Just like Faang You’an and Yin Yuzhe, who are typical Celestial Prides.

The potential of a Celestial Pride is very high, and the probability of achieving Purple Mansion Realm cultivation in the future is significant. Therefore, Celestial Prides have always been considered as Purple Mansion Seeds.

As for "Grade C," it’s a more detailed classification. Even among upper-grade bloodlines, they are divided into A, B, C, and D levels, with C being the second last.

Therefore, the fact that Wang Zong’an’s bloodline has not only awakened the second layer, but also reached the mid-stage of the second layer, makes it somewhat stronger than the average second-layer bloodline, increasing his chances of advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm in the future.

"Thank you for your praise, senior."

Being complimented by the Longevity Tree senior, Wang Zong’an felt a sense of comfort and regained some confidence.

There’s no choice; living with a Great Celestial Pride daily always makes him feel somewhat ordinary and unremarkable.

Especially since he witnessed from a young age the terror of the Great Celestial Pride’s mother, who hardly cultivates, goes fishing for three days and suns the nets for two days, but her cultivation keeps soaring.

As for his sister Wang Liyao, it’s hard to describe...

Throughout his life, he has never been able to withstand even his sister’s second move...

Forget it~ it’s too disheartening to think about. The Longevity Tree senior has true insight.

Wang Zong’an felt quite gratified inside.

"However, just relying on your Celestial Pride bloodline alone, I couldn’t possibly entrust my precious Spirit Seed to you for nurturing," before Wang Zong’an could rejoice, the Longevity Tree’s words brought a fresh round of blows, "After all, I’ve lived long enough and seen plenty of Celestial Prides; they’re not that rare."

Wang Zong’an’s face stiffened.

Longevity Tree senior, are you just toying with me? Am I that easy to bully?

"However, your Wood Bloodline has a strand of special Dao essence in it, reminiscent of ancient Life Origin Power." The Longevity Tree explained, "This Dao essence of Life Origin can help my young daughter grow, hoping she will surpass me in the future and reach Tier Nine Transformation."

"Special Dao essence, Life Origin Power?" Wang Zong’an realized, "That must come from my father’s bloodline power; he’s also an outer disciple of Eternal Spring Valley. Haven’t you met him, senior?" He also thought to himself, so his father’s bloodline was Life Origin.

"So that’s your father, no wonder, I haven’t met him, but I sensed his aura from afar once," when the Longevity Tree mentioned this, there was a hint of resentment, "Back then, I sensed your father’s pure Life Origin Bloodline Power, and wanted to converse with him and entrust my young Spirit Seed to him for nurturing. But unexpectedly, that Changchun kid kept secretly blocking us from meeting. He said that even though he’s a disciple, he’s essentially from a family. If I gave the Spirit Seed to him, it would become his family’s possession. It really made me angry..."

"Fortunately, I’m old enough now; if it had been when I was younger, I might have ignored the Spirit Contract and directly taken my true form to go accompany your father. If I could become your father’s Lifebound Spirit Plant, it wouldn’t take long for me to achieve Tier Nine Transformation."

"Uh..."

Wang Zong’an’s mouth twitched; was there really such a story behind all this?

No wonder his father always complained that Changchun Ascendant kept the Longevity Tree too well hidden, never giving him a chance to meet. Was it because he feared his father would whisk away the Spirit Seed, or even snatch away the Longevity Tree senior himself~

"Right, young man, can you introduce your father to me?" the Longevity Tree asked with a hopeful tone, "After all, compared to you, who only has a wisp of Life Dao essence in your Wood Bloodline, your father’s pure Life Origin Bloodline would be a better match for my young daughter."

"Boom!"

Wang Zong’an felt as if he was struck by lightning, humiliated by the Longevity Tree beyond measure. The speed at which its affections changed was astonishingly rapid!

He admitted he was quite ordinary and unremarkable among his family, but did it have to be so blatantly in his face?
