……

With this in mind, Wang Lixian really went to find her brothers and sisters.

Before long, Wang Zong'an, Wang Liyao, Wang Zongrui, Wang Liyue, Wang Lijue, and even Wang Zongkun, Wang Lilong, and the clueless Wang Zongteng all knew about it.

Regarding this, Wang Liyao, Wang Zong'an, and the other older ones remained quite calm.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, they had seen similar scenarios many times. From initial confusion to shock, to speechlessness, and finally to numbness, who knows what they had experienced.

Isn't it just a little romance between a couple? If they got involved now, it would be like asking for trouble.

So, the five of them went back to their own business.

However, Wang Zongkun and Wang Zongteng were a bit worried, fearing that their parents might have a big fight and hurt their relationship.

After all, not long ago, their father had spent several days and nights in private with the family guard Wang Mei. At this time, a family conflict seemed to have some traces.

In the end, with a little encouragement from Wang Lilong, they decided to join in the fun and help mediate.

As a result, as soon as Wang Lilong and the others rushed to the entrance of the portable cave mansion, they were all slapped out by their mother.

The whole thing turned into quite a commotion, a scene of chaos and disorder.

Naturally, Wang Lixian, for interfering with her parents' private life, had her homework doubled. Unfortunately, Wang Zongkun, Wang Lilong, Wang Zongteng, and other underachievers also had to endure endless supplementary lessons and tests to keep them occupied.

After this little episode, the family business resumed, but soon encountered some minor setbacks.

The cause, of course, was the sequence of appearances arranged by the team of Wang Ningxi, Wang Fugui, and Wang Liyue.

The sisters Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu, both part of the future second sequence, had grown up together. Being close in age and talent, they had always been competitive, never wanting to fall behind.

And now, because of the sequence of appearances, they were at odds again.

"Luojing, don't think that just because you inherited the Holy Gu Codex first, you can overshadow me," Wang Luo Qiu said arrogantly, with her hands behind her back. "Do you know how I've been living these days? I, Wang Luo Qiu, am not inferior to anyone!"

With that, her eyes sharpened, and an overwhelming imperial aura surged forth.

In that instant, she seemed to transform into an ancient emperor, majestic and unparalleled.

At the same time, a golden codex rose from her spiritual platform.

It was a codex that seemed to be made entirely of metal, its gilded surface covered with dense, mysterious characters, exuding a sacred aura.

The powerful aura from the codex filled the entire examination hall, sacred and solemn.

The codex fluttered its pages, swirling around Wang Luo Qiu.

Her voice, like Wang Luo Qiu's, carried a tone of pride: "Luo Qiu, is that the Wang Luojing you've been talking about? She looks so petite, I don't think she's much."

"Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance. In reality, she's cunning and ruthless. Her obedient demeanor is just an act for Fourth Brother, no, for Fourth Brother to see," Wang Luo Qiu pursed her lips.

"Wang Luo Qiu, if you're not satisfied with the ranking, feel free to try," Wang Luojing chuckled softly, taking a gentle step forward.

With her step, a mysterious and profound aura spread out.

At the same time, her Holy Gu Codex appeared above her head, its terrifying pressure bearing down on Wang Luo Qiu.

Under the pressure, her Gu Master's robe fluttered without wind, exuding a powerful aura.

Her cool voice carried a sharp edge that could scorch: "Don't think that just because you picked up a codex, you can be disrespectful to your sister."

"Try it then. Just let me show you the power of my Glazed King Codex," Wang Luo Qiu stepped forward with her hands behind her back.

Under a golden light, her body suddenly glowed with a glazed golden sheen, her terrifying aura rising steadily.

In that moment, her entire demeanor changed, becoming fierce and domineering, sacred and divine, like a golden guardian before the Buddha, inspiring awe.

Facing Wang Luojing's terrifying pressure, she did not back down, choosing instead to confront it head-on.

As the pressures collided, the terrifying aura swept out like waves, reverberating through the examination hall, causing the surrounding space to hum with a low, deep sound, as if unable to bear it.

Under the sweep of invisible force, everyone's clothes fluttered slightly.

For a moment, the scene was spectacular.

"This..." Prince An on the viewing platform was somewhat dumbfounded.

Even he, feeling the terrifying pressure from Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu, felt a bit of trepidation, sensing a real threat.

Previously, being placed in the third sequence among the Wang's Clan and its allied families, he felt a bit dissatisfied, thinking it was just because he wasn't born into the Wang's Clan.

But after seeing Wang Shouye and Wang Mei's performance, he was speechless.

He never expected that the usually quiet Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu could be so formidable.

"Enough!"

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, waving his hand from afar. A vast profound energy came down, easily separating the two girls.

He sternly reprimanded, "You two girls, don't cause trouble every time you meet."

"Uh... Fourth Brother!"

"Fourth Brother, it was all Luo Qiu provoking."

"Alright, both of you be quiet. Wang Luo Qiu, you mentioned earlier that you obtained some opportunity and got a codex," Wang Shouzhe looked at his sixth sister, "I thought it was just an ordinary codex, but it seems quite extraordinary. Is this the Glazed King Codex you found following the clues of your ancestors from the Glazed King Hall?"

"Yes, Fourth Brother." In front of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Luo Qiu didn't dare to be presumptuous, after all, she had been under his thumb since childhood.

"Hmph, I know your thoughts. You just want to make a stunning impression at the last moment~" Wang Shouzhe glanced at her, "Both of you, stay aside for now, I'll handle the next wave."

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

The two girls wanted to say something but dared not say much.

Wang Shouzhe stepped onto the examination platform and said, "Spirit Artifact Ai Pan, I want to take the test."

Originally, according to Wang Ningxi's sequence, Wang Shouzhe was supposed to appear later, but earlier, to enhance his bloodline, he not only used an Immortal Improvement Essence Version from the super prize pool but also used a regular Immortal Improvement.

Currently, the Wang's Clan has a lot of Immortal Improvements, but they are used up as soon as they are obtained. This way, the next person's aptitude is enough to take the first place on the hero list.

Since Wang Shouzhe used this Immortal Improvement, if he doesn't take action, the next person's Immortal Improvement will be cut off.

Without the Immortal Improvement, the subsequent second sequence cannot become Heavenly Sons or Heavenly Daughters, and relying solely on the power of the Immortal Sword Niyue to take the first place is not stable.

After all, the difficulty of the hero list mode is there.

Those who can make it to the top ten are basically Purple Mansion Realm Heavenly Sons and Heavenly Daughters. Even if the Wang's Clan second sequence has a bug and an Immortal Sword in hand, without enough aptitude, taking the top ten might be possible, but the first place would be a stretch.

"Ancestor Grandfather, do you need the Immortal Sword Niyue to help?" Wang Ningxi stepped forward to ask.

"No need, let the Immortal Sword rest for a round," Wang Shouzhe waved his hand, saying calmly, "I'll just go up like this."

With that, he entered the examination world.

His confidence was not unfounded.

Now, Wang Shouzhe's cultivation was already at the fifth level of the Purple Mansion Realm, far beyond the initial Purple Mansion Realm cultivation during the Little Holy Emperor Ji Wushuang's examination, and his bloodline was several levels stronger than before.

In this situation, if he still needed the help of the Immortal Sword to take the first place, then Wang Shouzhe might as well give up.

Wang Shouzhe's examination process was somewhat uneventful, basically achieving full marks in the ordinary examination, full marks in the elite examination, and then scoring an unremarkable 91 in hero mode, barely surpassing Wang Mei by 0.25 points.

After a series of operations, he calmly and steadily reached the reward stage.

In the advanced prize pool, the only thing that made Wang Shouzhe deeply gratified was not being forced to take another half-immortal artifact.

Originally, there were only eight half-immortal artifacts, including two knives, two shields, one spear, and three half-immortal swords.

After Wang Shouye took the last half-immortal sword, no more half-immortal artifacts were forced.

This was unavoidable.

In the advanced prize pool, there were originally quite a few half-immortal artifacts.

But this was a fixed reward for reaching sixty points in hero mode, and anyone who reached sixty points would first be forced to take a half-immortal artifact. After so many rounds of hero mode, naturally, they were all taken.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe casually took a high-grade Soldier-Hiding Tower, and he also took a bottle of Immortal Grade Bloodline Improvement Liquid, a medium-level codex inheritance right, and conveniently took a high-grade Earth Bracelet.

By the way, the high-grade Soldier-Hiding Tower and high-grade Earth Bracelet, although in the advanced prize pool, each had only one.

The more abundant resources were instead things like Immortal Improvements, half-immortal artifacts, and medium-level codex inheritance rights.

Among these, the medium-level codex was the most valuable, but here it was the inheritance right rather than ownership.

Theoretically, to score eighty points on the hero list, one could choose a medium-level codex after being forced to take a half-immortal artifact. Those who could score this high would at least be a legion commander if not a marshal in the future, and this reward mechanism was originally designed by the academy to cultivate top talents.

Previously, his Earth Bracelet was too small and could be passed on to his son Wang Zong'an.

As for the super prize pool, this time he casually took a large bottle of Chaos Essence.

The Chaos Essence was contained in a crystal bottle made of unknown material, and although it was called a large bottle, it was only about the size of a soda can.

Inside the almost transparent crystal bottle, a mass of energy resembling a starry sky slowly rotated. Because the crystal bottle sealed the energy, not a trace of it leaked out, but it looked extremely mysterious and profound.

"Ai Pan, how is this Chaos Essence used?" Wang Shouzhe looked at it for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he directly asked the Spirit Artifact.

"Honorable Wang Shouzhe," the Spirit Artifact Ai Pan, who had been overwhelmed by shock, said respectfully to Wang Shouzhe, "This is the essence of chaotic energy nurtured at the beginning of the world's creation, very beneficial for the evolution of species' bloodlines. However, although this Chaos Essence is pure energy, it contains both positive and negative energy intertwined. Our Immortal Dynasty's cultivators mainly cultivate positive energy and cannot use it directly."

"The Immortal Grade Bloodline Improvement Liquid is refined by extracting positive energy from Chaos Essence and combining it with the essence of various treasures."

"I see, so what is it actually used for?" Wang Shouzhe asked again, "This thing is in the reward column, surely it's not for me to refine Immortal Improvements myself?"

"Refining Immortal Improvements and Immortal Improvement Essence Versions is very difficult, even His Majesty the Holy Emperor finds it hard to gather the materials," Ai Pan quickly said, "For human cultivators, the risk is very high, but if slowly diluted and used on spiritual beasts, spirit plants, etc., there is no problem. Their innate physique is far superior to humans, and their ability to withstand Chaos Essence is much stronger. This one large bottle can at least significantly enhance the potential of a True Immortal-level spiritual beast or spirit plant, reaching at least the fourteenth level of potential."

"If diluted further, it can also be used on some low-level bio-beasts. For example, a bio-beast with ninth-level potential can easily have its potential raised to the eleventh level."

"So this is for enhancing the potential of pets, it's indeed a good thing," Wang Shouzhe finally understood the use of this treasure. For example, Wang Lixian now has thirteenth-level potential, and when she grows to her fullest, she will be similar to a human True Immortal.

With this bottle, her potential can soar to the fourteenth level, and when she matures, she will be similar to a mid-to-late stage human True Immortal.

The only thing that gave Wang Shouzhe a slight headache was that both his son Wang Zongkun and Wang Lixian had thirteenth-level potential, but only one could have their potential enhanced, which was somewhat unfair.

Oh well~ I'll put it away for now and think about it later, there's no rush.

After Wang Shouzhe completed the examination, he had another bottle of ordinary Immortal Improvement in hand, so the previous Immortal Improvement relay could continue.

This time, he unceremoniously grabbed Wang Luo Qiu to enhance her bloodline.

Regardless of who was stronger, Luojing was at least a year older than Luo Qiu, and that year was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Wang Luo Qiu's bloodline was already not low, and the codex she inherited, the Glazed Golden Body Codex, was quite extraordinary. With the Extreme Improvement Essence and Immortal Improvement, her bloodline aptitude directly soared to Heavenly Daughter Class C.

Throughout the process, she demonstrated extremely formidable strength and strong leadership and combat abilities in the examination simulator.

If there was one flaw, it was that she liked to lead from the front.

But that wasn't a big deal. When her Glazed Golden Body was fully activated, she seemed to transform into a battle-hardened Buddha, unstoppable wherever she went, each punch and kick, each shout and call, displaying the might of a wrathful Vajra.

Most importantly, her glazed golden light seemed to have a restraining effect on the demon race, easily neutralizing the erosion of demonic energy and even intimidating and disrupting the demons.

Although she, like others, carried the Immortal Sword Niyue, she hardly used it throughout, only at the end to control the score, letting the sword help speed up the task progress, and seizing the opportunity to control the score in the final task.

Don't be fooled by Wang Luo Qiu's rebellious, adolescent delusional demeanor; in reality, she has a strong sense of family honor and responsibility.

She would never allow her actions to make it difficult for her clan members to climb the rankings, thereby reducing their rewards.

92.25 points!

The Wang's Clan's fifth first-place score.

The former hero list first place, Little Holy Emperor Ji Wushuang, had dropped to sixth place, and Wu Panpan's ranking had fallen to eighth!

As for the friend with the mosaic name who was once fourth, they had been pushed to ninth!

"Congratulations, Wang Luo Qiu," Ai Pan said with great respect to Wang Luo Qiu, and curiously asked, "May I ask where your Glazed Golden Body Codex came from?"

"What's it to you?" Wang Luo Qiu looked at the Spirit Artifact warily, "It's not from your Shenwu Academy, so it's none of your business."

She was afraid the Spirit Artifact would say, "This codex is the academy's property."

"The situation is that your Glazed Golden Body Codex seems to be related to a famous legion commander of our Shenwu Army," the Spirit Artifact said, "That commander was also a graduate of our officer training academy, but his grades were average, only considered an elite student. Later, it was said he sacrificed himself, but a thousand years later, he unexpectedly returned. It turned out he had been swept into a spatial rift on the battlefield and ended up in another realm."

"When that commander returned, he was already in the Lingxu Realm, and he had obtained the Glazed Golden Body Codex in that other realm."

"Do you have any specific information about that commander?" Wang Luo Qiu suddenly became interested, "Which realm did he travel to?"

"This is a secret of the Shenwu Royal Dynasty, so I don't know. However, you can apply to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who knows more," Ai Pan suggested, "With your examination results, if you apply and the Holy Emperor is not busy, there's a good chance you could be granted an audience."

"No need, let's settle the rewards," Wang Luo Qiu lost interest at the mention of the Holy Emperor.

"Alright... Wang Luo Qiu, please choose your rewards," Ai Pan said very politely, "Since there are no more half-immortal artifacts, you can choose other rewards."

"From the advanced prize pool, I'll take the Immortal Grade Bloodline Improvement Liquid, the medium-level codex inheritance right, the Void Realm Guardian Puppet, and the half-immortal beast."

"As for the unique super reward, I'll take the high-level codex, the Green Emperor Codex," Wang Luo Qiu chuckled mischievously, "I want to give it to my dear Fourth Brother~"

When she mentioned Fourth Brother, she deliberately mimicked Wang Luojing's tone, acting coy.

Below, Wang Luojing's expression changed.

She had planned to personally obtain the "Green Emperor Codex" to give to Fourth Brother, but unexpectedly, Wang Luo Qiu had beaten her to it!

Seeing the two about to clash again, Wang Shouzhe quickly intervened, "Alright, both of you are my good sisters, it doesn't matter who gives it to me."

"Luojing! Come with me, I'll help you enhance your bloodline and prepare for the next first place," Wang Shouzhe gathered the rewards and immediately separated Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu.

After bringing Wang Luojing into the portable cave mansion, Wang Luojing still looked puffed up, clearly having a big opinion about Wang Luo Qiu.

"Luojing, Luo Qiu is your fifth sister, ultimately younger than you, don't hold it against her," Wang Shouzhe said gently, "Come, have an Extreme Improvement Essence Version to soothe your throat, and I'll protect you."

"Wait," Wang Luojing suddenly said, "Fourth Brother, I heard earlier that your bloodline power was insufficient. Although you've enhanced your bloodline now, I think you should inherit the Green Emperor Codex first, maybe your bloodline can advance further."

The "Green Emperor Codex" is a codex passed down by the Holy Emperor, naturally having its unique aspects.

"Uh... you're not angry?" Wang Shouzhe asked cautiously.

"Fourth Brother, what are you saying? I'm a grown-up, I can't be angry over small things forever," Wang Luojing smiled lightly, "Besides, Wang Luo Qiu thought she could upset me, but she miscalculated."

"Fourth Brother, you need several days to initially inherit the codex, and it will take several more days for you to help me enhance my bloodline. It's been a long time since I've spent so much time alone with you, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"Uh..." Wang Shouzhe felt a bit uneasy with her words and quickly changed the subject, "Then I'll trouble Fifth Sister to protect me."

Inheriting the codex first was fine, it was like sharpening the axe before chopping wood.

Wang Shouzhe sat cross-legged, opened a crystal box, and inside lay a codex with a deep green cover.

The codex looked ancient and simple, with a minimalist design, and the cover had faint, mysterious light green patterns, appearing extremely mysterious.

Rich green energy emanated from it, full of vitality, making one feel refreshed and comfortable.

Clearly, this was the "Green Emperor Codex."

"Flutter flutter!"

With a crisp sound, the Green Emperor Codex flew out.

A girl in a green dress appeared above the codex, with a proud expression on her delicate face: "Not everyone is qualified to inherit me, Qinghuang..."

Before she could finish, her expression froze, her big eyes staring at Wang Shouzhe, completely dumbfounded.

"Th-this big brother, what is your bloodline? To what level has it awakened?" The green-dressed girl Qinghuang's voice stammered, her tone unconsciously becoming soft and cute.

"It seems to be the Life Origin Bloodline, currently at the mid to late eighth level of the Purple Mansion Realm, can I inherit the wood-type codex?" Wang Shouzhe said honestly.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Truly heaven has blessed me, Qinghuang~" The codex spirit Qinghuang stared at Wang Shouzhe, drooling with desire, "Big brother, don't speak, let's begin."

With that, the Green Emperor Codex eagerly transformed into a green light, entering Wang Shouzhe's spiritual platform.

"Boom!"

Wang Shouzhe felt a roar in his spiritual platform, and his mind became incomparably clear in that instant.

"Dong~~~"

"Dong~~~~"

"Dong~~~~~"

Countless wood-type laws transformed into bell-like sounds, resonating through his soul along his divine sense.

It was the sound of laws.

He could even clearly feel mysterious and profound ripples, serene and comfortable, spreading through his soul.

At the same time, the vast amount of world essence accumulated in the advanced codex Green Emperor Codex poured out like a baptism, sweeping through his entire body, permeating every inch of his skin and pores.
