Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 745 - 100: The Wang Family’s Promotion to Grade Six Prominent Family_1
...
Time hurried on.
In the blink of an eye, another thirty years had passed.
For the entire Da Qian, a mere thirty years was but a snap of the fingers.
However, at the level of the Changning Wang Clan, thirty years was enough to induce earth-shattering changes.
In the spring of the 3215th year of the Great Qian Longchang era. Seventy years had passed since Wang Shouzhe had traversed time. He had grown from an eighteen-year-old heroic youth to an "mature young man" at the age of eighty-eight.
This was no joke.
Due to Wang Shouzhe’s early promotions to the Spirit Platform Realm and the Heavenly Human Realm, his appearance didn’t change much from when he was in his twenties. However, his temperament had become even more gentle and restrained, mature and steady.

Over the years, the Wang Family had experienced some minor setbacks, but didn’t face any major obstacles. Hence, the Wang Family had been quietly growing stronger in low profile .
However, up to now, the Wang Family is becoming less able to keep a low profile.
Especially after the family’s two core members, Wang Shou Yong and Wang Luotong, both entered the Heavenly Human Realm last year.
Longzuo County’s Prefectural Governor, Taishi Ankang, could no longer bear the Wang family’s strategy of remaining unobtrusive. In his words, Wang Shouzhe, do you intend to sneak your way to Grade Four before promoting?
Especially now that the development of the Qingluo Guard was nearing its end, if the Wang Family did not have the official status of a Grade Six Prominent Family, how was it qualified to defend one of the posts on behalf of the Court?
There and then, Taishi Ankang directly used the prefectural order to officially announce that he was assisting the Changning Wang Clan in their application for promotion to a Grade Six Prominent Family; it was said that the relevant departments in the National Capital had already approved it.
The plaque of the Grade Six Prominent Family, which was supervised and created by the Prefecture Mansion, was about to be delivered to the Wang family to replace the threshold.
The secret was thus out in the open.
After discussions within the Wang Family, it was decided that it was time to reveal some of their true strength to deter all those who had their eyes on the benefits of New Peace Town and the Qingluo Guard.
This time, a double Heavenly Human banquet was held for Wang Luotong and Wang Shouyong, and the promotion threshold ceremony was held simultaneously.
A family usually only has one "Heavenly Human" promotion in a short period, which is a rare occurrence. After all, cultivating a Heavenly Human not only depends on their aptitude but also the family’s income must be adjusted to the interval.
Most 7th-ranked noble families would find it challenging to cultivate two Celestial-type individuals at the same time due to the depletion of resources not keeping pace.
Even the Purple Abode families would control the pace of Celestial-types’ cultivation. Most of them would cultivate a Heavenly Human elder every ten or twenty years to maintain the total amount of the family’s Heavenly Human elders.
Therefore, the Wang Family’s joyous news caused a sensation in the Southern Six Guards, and the news spread throughout Longzuo County with the movement of flying carriages, becoming the topic of conversation for many after meals.
It caused many ripples in the water.
At the same time.
One of the Southern Six Guards was the Zhenze Guard.
The reason why it was called Zhenze was because it was located near the Great Wilderness Marsh, hence it was named with the intention of guarding the Great Wilderness Marsh.
Throughout history, the most powerful family in the Zhenze Guard was the Zhenze Wang Family.
The first old ancestor of the Wang Family, Wang Kunyuan, was a skillful practitioner at the eighth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and had always enjoyed the reputation of being the first advanced stage Heavenly Human old ancestor in the Southern Six Guards. This old ancestor was unobtrusive in his youth and quietly developed in a low profile.
About fifty years ago, Wang Kunyuan broke through from the peak of level six to level seven in one fell swoop, and then he was no longer low-key, but announced to the public that Elder Kun Yuan was actually Sky Pride.
At that time, Wang Kunyuan’s fame surged in the Southern Six Guards, and the name of the Zhenze Wang Clan slowly spread throughout Longzuo County.
However, the Wang Family was ultimately just a strong Grade Seven Prominent Family, at most, it could claim to be high and mighty within the scope of the Zhenze Guard. With the resources from just one Guard’s territory, it would be as difficult as skyrocketing to elevate Elder Kun Yuan to the Purple Abode Realm.
In fact, even pushing Kun Yuan’s cultivation base to stage seven of the Heavenly Human Realm had already caused the Wang Family to suffer tremendously. Many of the younger generation, were even delayed in their careers and missed their best time for cultivation.
Therefore, the best way out for the Wang Family was to expand its influence in the Southern Six Guards with the status and strength of Sky Pride, and, in plain terms, to find a way to gain from other families’ pots.
Only by gathering the power of several guards could they potentially satisfy Elder Kun Yuan’s desire to advance to the Purple Abode Realm with its insatiable demand for resources.
Unfortunately.
Elder Kun Yuan was born in the wrong era.
When the Zhenze Wang’s family extended its reach to places like Changning Guard, they faced retaliation and targeting from the Changning Wang Family’s In-laws Alliance. After several covert struggles and confrontations, the Zhenze Wang Family withdrew in disgrace.
Afterwards, the Wang Family was even more shocked to learn that Wang Liyao of the Wang Family had become the disciple of the Enlightened One... After the Changning Wang Family soared to the sky, the Wang Family immediately behaved themselves. They no longer dared to covet the Changning Guard.
Furthermore, in the subsequent business expansion in other guards of the Southern Six Guards, the Wang Family was repeatedly suppressed and faced repeated failures by the Wang’s In-Law Alliance. This gradually caused the Wang Family’s plan to take a shortcut to the Purple Abode level to gradually fail.
Fifty years had passed, and Elder Kun Yuan, who had just been promoted to stage seven of the Heavenly Human Realm, had barely managed to advance to stage eight!
Elder Kun Yuan is now over 300 years old. The road to the Purple Abode becomes more distant as time passes.
For various reasons, the Zhenze Wang Family naturally abhorred the Wang Family, but due to the growing strength of the Changning’s In-Law Alliance, they could only swallow their anger.
Certainly.
This hatred was only one-sided.
For the Changning Wang Clan, they hardly put the Zhenze Wang Clan in their eyes. It was merely noted in the Wang’s Ancestral Inheritance Chronicles that there was a minor friction with the Zhenze Wang Clan in a certain year, and they parted in displeasure.
