C15 â The Rise of the Wang Family
Wang Shan descended the mountain with effortless grace, greeted at the base by five stunning women.
âYoung Master, welcome back.â They had prepared refreshments, the renowned lemon ice water of Cloud City.
Sipping the chilled beverage, Wang Shan led the women back to his home.
Throughout the journey, they eagerly inquired about his illustrious exploits. They were thrilled to learn that Wang Shan had ascended to the ninth level and secured the Golden Identity Card, rejoicing wholeheartedly in his success.
To them, Wang Shan had ascended to the status of a prodigy.
Upon arriving home, Wang Shan made his way to the main hall to meet with his father.
âWhat? You scaled the ninth level single-handedly and emerged unscathed?â
Wang Tianxiaâs eyes widened in disbelief. Relief washed over him only after verifying that Wang Shan bore no wounds.
The fact that Wang Shan had single-handedly conquered the ninth level and acquired the Golden Identity Card sent waves of astonishment through Wang Tianxia.
âThe Wang familyâs rise to prominence is within reach!â
Wang Tianxia was overcome with joy, even contemplating a grand celebration.
Wang Shan, however, cut through his fatherâs reverie, recounting his experiences at the pinnacle of the Nine-level Tower.
He vividly depicted the ancestral inscription, stirring Wang Tianxia with excitement.
âI had always regarded it as a myth, but to think our ancestor truly conquered the Nine-level Tower in one attempt. Little Feng, you are truly formidable, mirroring the achievements of our forebear!â
Wang Tianxiaâs elation was palpable.
Five millennia prior, his ancestor had braved the Nine-level Tower in a single bound.
Now, five millennia later, his son had replicated the feat!
Wang Tianxiaâs excitement was well-justified.
Yet, Wang Shan pondered the disappearance of the familyâs storied past over the last five thousand years.
âFather, had I not reached the towerâs summit, the ancestral words would have remained unseen. Why have the Wang familyâs illustrious deeds vanished from the annals of history?â Wang Shan earnestly sought enlightenment.
But Wang Tianxia had no answers to offer.
âXiao Feng, from your grandfatherâs time, our familyâs history had been lost. All we knew was that the Wang family was once a distinguished lineage, home to myriad talents,â Wang Tianxia explained with a hint of melancholy.
Extracting the history of the Wang family from Wang Tianxia proved to be a challenging task.
âHowever,â Wang Tianxiaâs tone shifted, âyou might find some clues if you visit the Wang familyâs ancestral hall.â
The ancestral hall had stood for over a thousand years, which explained why Wang Tianxia would recommend such a course of action.
âXiao Feng, the Wang family once shone brightly but has since declined. Always remember this lesson and avoid becoming complacent,â Wang Tianxia advised, hoping the familyâs past wouldnât negatively impact Wang Shan.
Wang Shan nodded in agreement; his interest lay solely in uncovering the Wang familyâs history.
What could have caused a once illustrious family to dwindle to a mere handful of less than fifty members?
There was undoubtedly a mystery to unravel.
âNow that youâve received your Golden Identity Card, youâre an adult. I canât watch over you as I used to, so pursue whatever you desire,â Wang Tianxia expressed with a hint of resignation.
âHe had once believed Wang Shan incapable of cultivation, so he had preemptively purchased a plot on the commercial street for him and even selected five exceptionally beautiful women to serve as Wang Shanâs personal maids, all in preparation for Wang Shan to start a family.
However, it now appeared unnecessary. With the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline coursing through his veins, Wang Shan was destined to stand out on this continent. His prospects were undeniably promising.
