4: Chapter 4 The Three Ancestors Summon Us!

Wang Chengyue stood at the bow of the ship and took out a jade scroll: "Pingan, I will verify a few questions with you on the way so that the Family can preliminarily formulate a cultivation plan."

Wang Pingan stood quietly to the side: "Please go ahead, Clan Uncle."

"Your talent is A-Grade Comprehension, and its effect is to assist subjects in deducing Cultivation Techniques, comprehending Spells and battle skills, with a twenty percent increase in success rate, is that correct?"

"Correct."

Wang Pingan answered very steadily.

This part was the result publicly detected by the Awakening stone, so there was no need to hide it, nor was there any way to hide it.

Wang Chengyue put forward the plan: "The Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation route consumes an extremely large amount. Cultivation Techniques, resources, and population cultivation must all be doubled. The Family can help you plan a main path where you primarily Cultivate immortality, with martial arts as an auxiliary, making it easier to achieve results in the early stage."

Wang Pingan pondered slightly.

This was both a test and a plan.

The Wang Family was willing to Cultivate him, but cultivation resources would not be wasted infinitely. Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation sounded strong, but down to the development of the Divine Kingdom, it meant two systems consuming resources together.

Ordinary Divine Beings could not bear it.

Even with A-Grade Comprehension, one could be dragged down by resources.

Wang Chengyue gazed at him: "If you are willing to let the Family plan it, the Family will prepare ready-made Qi Cultivation Techniques, basic Formation diagrams, Spirit Medicine seeds, and a batch of Immortal Cultivation-side enlightenment mentor cards for you."

He paused for a moment and added: "This is the starting treatment that only first-rate Geniuses of the main branch have."

Wang Pingan understood clearly.

This treatment was indeed generous.

For a normal A-Grade Comprehension Genius, following the Family's plan was the safest option.

But he was different.

The Master of Time gave him the advantage not by being a bit faster on a certain path, but by being able to long-term accelerate the entire Divine Kingdom.

Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation was a burden to others, but to him, it was the most suitable troop-spawning route.

Wang Pingan expressed his attitude: "Clan Uncle, I want to retain Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation."

Wang Chengyue turned his gaze over: "Reason."

Wang Pingan had been prepared for a long time and responded clearly: "Comprehension Ability talent can assist in Cultivation Technique deduction and battle skill comprehension. If I only walk the path of Immortal Cultivation, it is equivalent to using half less of the talent's effect."

Wang Chengyue did not interrupt.

Wang Pingan continued to elaborate: "Early-stage resources are indeed tight, but Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation can complement each other. The Immortal Cultivation side produces Spells, Formations, and long-range damage, while the martial arts side produces physique, close-combat legions, and pressure-bearing capacity."

His tone was calm and powerful: "I do not want to Cultivate the Divine Kingdom subjects into a single system. In future Divine Kingdom wars, a single system is easily targeted."

A trace of surprise flashed in Wang Chengyue's eyes.

These words did not sound like something a newly awakened student temporarily thought of.

More importantly, the logic held up.

In same-tier Divine Kingdom wars, a single civilization was indeed easily targeted, especially when facing the Myriad Clans battlefield, where the enemy's Divine Kingdom systems were bizarre and varied.

Wang Chengyue threw out the core difficulty: "Do you know the biggest difficulty of the Dual Cultivation route?"

Wang Pingan nodded slightly: "Insufficient resources, insufficient population, slow Cultivation Technique deduction, slow Formation of powerhouses, and it is very easy for both sides to be not strong enough in the early stage."

"Since you know, you still insist on it?"

"I must insist."

Wang Pingan looked at the Wang Family ancestral land getting closer outside the ship, "My A-Grade Comprehension can increase the deduction success rate by twenty percent. As long as there are basic Cultivation Techniques and stable resources in the early stage, the Divine Kingdom subjects will walk the path themselves."

Saying this, his tone was firm: "I do not need the Family to cut off martial arts for me. I only hope the Family will give me the dual-system foundation, and I will bear the consequences myself afterwards."

Wang Chengyue stared at him for a long while before suddenly revealing a smile.

"You have quite some guts."

Wang Pingan also smiled: "Changing the path right after Awakening will be too late for regrets later, and being timid is useless anyway."

Wang Chengyue put away the jade scroll: "I will pass these words verbatim to the Clan Chief and the Third Ancestor. How it is ultimately decided will still depend on the Old Ancestor's side."

"Many thanks, Clan Uncle."

Wang Pingan knew clearly in his heart that what he said just now was only the surface reason.

His true confidence was, of course, his hidden talent.

One day in the outside world is two years in the Divine Kingdom.

As long as resources kept up, his subjects could use more time to Cultivate, reproduce, and deduce Cultivation Techniques, and the dual-system pressure would be slowly digested by time.

But this matter must absolutely not be leaked by even a bit.

The divine boat's speed was extremely fast. After passing over the sky of Tianhai City, a group of floating mountains appeared ahead.

Between the mountain groups were huge Formation light curtains, Spiritual Qi converged into a fog river, dozens of bronze divine temples stood in the clouds, and the ancient ancestral hall in the very center towered higher than the mountains.

The Wang Family ancestral land had arrived.

The divine boat slowed down and entered along the Formation passage.

Wang Pingan stood at the bow of the ship, seeing the core of the Wang Family's main branch truly for the first time.

Compared to here, the gap with the branch residence areas was like a chasm.

Wang Chengyue glanced at him and appeased him verbally: "In the future, your parents will also move into the main branch area, and you won't need to return to the Spirit Medicine garden side anymore."

Wang Pingan's heart warmed.

He had been very steady just now, and it wasn't until he heard this sentence that his emotions truly surged.

His parents would no longer need to look at other people's faces, would no longer need to lower their heads and consume themselves for a few Spirit Medicines, and would no longer need to grind out days in the branch logistics.

This was even more gratifying than him obtaining resources himself.

The divine boat stopped on the white jade plaza outside the ancestral hall.

On both sides of the plaza stood Wang Family guards, the lowest of whom were Demigods, and the leading few exuded the aura of a First-Order Deity.

Wang Chengyue led Wang Pingan down the divine boat.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe had been waiting for a long time.

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe looked to be around forty years old, wearing a dark clan robe. When his gaze fell on Wang Pingan, it carried obvious appreciation.

"Pingan, you have arrived."

Wang Pingan stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Clan Chief."

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe nodded slightly: "No need for formalities. Today, you won great face for the Wang Family, and you also won great face for your parents."

This sentence was extremely direct.

Wang Pingan was very pleased in his heart.

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe did not beat around the bush and went straight to the theme: "Your parents have already been listed in the main branch. Their residence, identity, and resources will all be settled tonight. The miscellaneous matters of the past will be handled by people in the Family."

Wang Pingan saluted once more: "Many thanks, Clan Chief."

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe waved his hand and said earnestly: "This is what you deserve. The Wang Family's rules have always been very clear: those with high potential enter the main branch, and those with strong strength hold the resources. With your awakened A-Plus talent, no one in the entire Wang Family can suppress you."

This sentence was spoken with heavy weight, and it was also to give him peace of mind.

Wang Chengyue stood aside and remained quiet.

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe turned to look deep into the ancestral hall and reminded him aloud: "Third Ancestor is already waiting inside, but you should prepare yourself first. You are not the only one seeing Third Ancestor today."

Wang Pingan's gaze flickered slightly.

Clan Chief Clan Leader Wang Tianhe continued: "This time, our Wang Family has good luck. Adding Wang Jincheng's A-Minus talent, we actually awakened three A-Grade talents. The other two have already arrived. You will go in together to see Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue."
