Chapter 1229 - 6: Unparalleled! Sequence 1_2

Just as Master Yunyang and Lici were setting foot on their return journey.

Wang Shouzhe, along with Wang Ningxi and Shangguan Lingbo, as well as the tag-along Shangguan Yunhong and others, also took a leisurely detour, arriving near the Lingyun Sacred Land.

The Saint Land was already visible from afar.

From a bird’s eye view, the entire Lingyun Sacred Land carried a kind of fantastic color.

As far as the eye could see, there were mountain ranges, lakes, swamps, gorges... almost every type of terrain one could think of was here, as if it was a world geography exhibition. Moreover, these terrains often did not follow common logic; a massive lake might neighbor a lava swamp, or a jagged, barren mountain range might be next to a gorge that is warm like spring all year round.

Even the lake water could be red, the sky could be colorful, thunder could erupt from mountain peaks, and roaring winds might burst from the underground into the sky...

Common sense seems to have lost its effect here.

In the Flying Chariot, a few people who poked their heads out to look had a trace of shock unconsciously showing on their faces.

To be honest, this was Wang Shouzhe’s first time coming to the Saint Land.

Even though Wang Shouzhe had already learned a lot about the Saint Land from the letters sent back by Wang Yingxuan and was somewhat prepared in his heart, seeing this scene with his own eyes still left him awestruck.

The Lingyun Sacred Land truly lived up to its name as a "Saint Land."

In Wang Shouzhe’s understanding, a Saint Land was equivalent to those advanced academies on Earth that possessed cutting-edge technology and strong scientific research capabilities. It was an academy that integrated military and research; it was not just a place to cultivate combat talents but also research talents.

Nowadays, many technologies and inventions that have changed the livelihood in the Daqian Kingdom originated from the Saint Land and the Academy.

For many years, the Saint Land has been devoted to finding a path that would make Daqian more prosperous and powerful.

They explore Divine Martial Ruins, study the classics left from the Divine Martial Dynasty, trying to find the fundamental reason why the Human Race was so prosperous, strong, and unmatched during the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Within the Saint Land lies the largest Library Pavilion in the entire Daqian, housing countless precious classic materials from the Divine Martial Dynasty period, currently the most comprehensive collection of data among all forces in Daqian. It is also the only Library Pavilion open to the public, allowing outsiders to read.

The Saint Land is also one of the few places that occasionally publicizes the technologies developed and explored by themselves.

Many bottom-tier Loose Cultivators, grassroots Noble Families, Low-Grade Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Spirit Plant Masters, and so on still rely on these Saint Land technologies to make a living.

It can be said that without the Saint Land, there would not be the endlessly emerging and iteratively updated grassroots Noble Families today. Hence, whenever new technology is released by the Saint Land, it often stirs a whirlwind of reform among the grassroots.

A significant part of Lingyun Sacred Land’s exalted status in Daqian is derived from this.

In a nation governed by the Noble Family system, the existence of Lingyun Sacred Land is undoubtedly an anomaly. However, its existence plays an irreplaceable role in national stability and the development of people’s livelihoods.

This is the experience summarized by countless ancients with the blood and tears of their era.

It is for this reason that, even after a hundred thousand years, this special existence born during the Divine Martial Dynasty has traversed the vast river of time, continuing to this day.

Just with the evolution of time, the original "Academy" gradually evolved into various academy-like institutions. The Daqian Kingdom has Lingyun Sacred Land, the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty has the Immortal Palace, and even in the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, it’s said there are similar institutions, albeit with significantly different forms.

In Wang Shouzhe’s view, His Majesty the Saint Emperor, who created the existence of the "Academy," was undoubtedly a remarkable person, an exalted idealist free from petty interests.

In contrast, Wang Shouzhe is a bit more selfish; his ambition is not as large. He merely wishes to make life better for his clansmen in his little domain.

At most, he hopes to extend this to make Daqian develop even more powerfully.

This is the principle of doing as much as one is capable of. As the saying goes, in poverty, one remains virtuous; in prosperity, one helps the world. Only by making the Wang Family truly flourish can Wang Shou have the ambition for the world.

The Flying Chariot continued to fly inward.

"Brother Ning Xi~ look, the scenery of that mountain peak is so magnificent," Shangguan Lingbo lay at the porthole, excitedly pointing at the towering peak in the distance, which seemed to be entwined by a raging dragon and lightning, bursting into a scene as magnificent as fireworks.

"I heard from Aunt Yingxuan that it’s the Purple Sky Celestial Thunder Peak," Wang Ningxi said with a trace of hope in his eyes, "It is the Inheritance Land of the Purple Sky Thunder Lineage, one of the Nine Sacred Veins of the Saint Land."

The Inheritance Land is a place where one can learn True Skills, and in the future, there’s a significant chance of advancing to become a Divine Power Realm Cultivator, enjoying a lifespan of two thousand years.

Unfortunately, his current meridians and Qi Sea...

"Brother Ning Xi, you will definitely get better," Shangguan Lingbo encouraged, "After spending these days with Brother Ning Xi, I know that Brother is a kind-hearted and smart person. No matter what happens in the future, Lingbo will stay by your side."

"Thank you, Sister Lingbo. With you by my side, I can overcome any difficulties."
