The Four Way Balance had been too aggressive. Otherwise, the College would not have been willing to bring students to the Top Worlds to train. This was equivalent to giving the Four Way Balance a chance to recruit them.
Now that he was here, it was impossible for him to go back on his word.
Looking back, all the students' eyes lit up. Rogue cultivators had no resources, and students with family or sect backgrounds were even more eager to join the Four Way Scales. This was an unsolvable problem.
As soon as Lu Yin arrived in the Astral Tree Realm, he learned from the Bei family that there had been some changes in Yi Xian Academy. These changes were rapidly changing the academy's stance and structure. The Four Libras' goodwill and the Culinary God's helplessness all indicated this.
The Culinary God could no longer protect Yi Xian Academy.
The Top Realm was not as large as the Middle Realm, but it still took the paper boat five days to travel from the cloud ladder to the Wang Family's mainland, and this was only possible under the control of Wang Miaomiao, an Emissary. Otherwise, an Enlighter would have needed at least a few months to travel.
As for the Culinary God, he couldn't wait to go to the Wang family. How could he help speed up the process?
Over the past few days, Lu Yin, Mr. Wei, and Mr. Tang had met up with Wang Miaomiao. Wang Miaomiao knew Mr. Tang and had met him before. However, she was very interested in Mr. Wei and had been chatting with Mr. Wei for the past few days.
As the two women spoke, Lu Yin and the rest stayed far away from them.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaofan, who was a direct descendant of the Wang Family, did not even speak a single word to Wang Miaomiao. Wang Miaomiao did not even look him in the eye.
The Wang family's mainland was right in front of Lu Yin's eyes. Lu Yin had been here not too long ago, where he had captured Wang Zheng and Long Ke.
The Wang Family was a colossus. No one knew why Wang Miaomiao was asked to welcome the people from Yi Xian Academy.
A group of upper echelons of the Wang Family welcomed them, and Half-Martial Ancestor Chai was among them.
"Senior Food God, long time no see," Half-Ancestor Chai greeted the Food God politely.
The Culinary God smiled. "Yes, it's been a long time. I'm surprised that you didn't die."
On the side, Wang Family's people were dissatisfied. Half Ancestor Chai was a consecrator of the Wang Family, so what he said was the same as provoking the Wang Family.
Half-Ancestor Chai did not mind. "Are you surprised that I'm not dead?"
The Food God replied seriously, "You're cultivating the Deity Retreat Technique, and your legs only degenerated when you reached the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm. If you progress any further, your hands and even your brain will degenerate. What's the difference between that and death?"
"Haha, it seems like Senior thinks highly of me. Others can curse me to death, but Senior thinks highly of me," laughed Half-Ancestor Chai.
The Culinary God shook his head and looked at the Wang family.
The leader was the acting patriarch, Wang Yan. His cultivation base was only at the second Origin Tribulation Stage, which was not bad. However, it was far from enough to be the patriarch of a colossus like the Wang Clan, so only Half-Martial Ancestor Chai could support him.
Wang Zheng, Wang Su, Wang Yi, and even Grand Elder Wang Si were not around. Even the Grand Elder Wang Si was not around. It wasn't just the Wang Clan. There were people from the Four Directions Balance overseeing the battlefield on the other side. Some of them had gone to the Fifth Mainland, and more than half of their experts had disappeared. Even their sect master had gone missing.
The White Dragon Clan was the most miserable. They did not have a single capable junior disciple.
"I wonder what the Wang Clan has prepared to test the students behind me?"
The Culinary God asked. His gaze swept past Wang Yan and the others, and then back to Half-Martial Ancestor Chai. Although Half-Martial Ancestor Chai was a consecrator, he was the only one in charge of the Wang Family Continent.
Wang Yan was very calm. He was the face of the Wang Clan.
As for the right to make decisions, it had nothing to do with him. Once the New Sky Corridor was repaired and Grand Elder Wang Si and the others returned, Wang Su or Wang Yi could replace him.
Half-Martial Ancestor Chai looked at Wang Miaomiao. "Didn't you tell senior?
My Wang Clan has decided to open up the San Ao Impasse to the elite students of Yi Xian Academy. "
Wang Miaomiao did not even look at Half-Martial Ancestor Chai. She was the only one in the Wang Clan who did not give Half-Martial Ancestor Chai face.
Half-Martial Ancestor Chai raised his eyebrows, but he could not cause trouble for her.
"The Wang Clan is very sincere. I will thank the Wang Clan on behalf of the students," the Culinary God said with a smile.
Not long after, Wang Yan, the acting patriarch, personally brought the students to tour the Wang Clan Continent. He was only useful for this, so letting a patriarch bring the students around was a sign of goodwill.
The Wang Clan Continent attracted countless people. It was not easy for cultivators from the Middle Realm to enter the Top Realm, let alone the Wang Clan Continent. Now that they had the chance to enter the Wang Clan Continent, it was not an exaggeration to say that they could brag about it for the rest of their lives.
"Since the birth of the Wang Clan Continent, it has been through many trials and hardships. Enemies, assassins, red backs, and spies have all left their marks on this continent, but no one has been able to leave alive. Do you see that blade scar?
It was left behind by a Half Martial Ancestor of our Wang Clan. Our Wang Clan is proficient in palm techniques, but that Half Martial Ancestor only loved saber techniques. His saber techniques were so powerful that they suppressed an entire era. Furthermore, when he looked at the Sword Stele, his saber techniques were able to suppress the sword techniques of that generation's Liu Clan, shocking an entire era. "
"That was left behind by another ancestor of the Wang Clan. That ancestor observed millions of creatures in the Mortal Realm and created millions of palm prints. They fused together to form the final Unchanging Palm Technique. He slaughtered the Eternals and killed one of the Twelve Marquises, Xiang Hou. The current Xiang Hou is no longer the Xiang Hou of the past. That Xiang Hou died at the hands of this ancestor.
"Back then, the Lu Clan was incompetent and allowed the Redbacks to flood the continent with spies. It even caused a large-scale war. Our Wang Clan charged at the front and almost broke the five fingers of the continent to suppress that war. Do you see the dark red color on the ground?
That is the blood of countless ancestors of the Wang Clan. Whether it was the Lu Clan, the Frigid Immortal Sect, the Shenwu Clan, or the White Dragon Clan, none of them have a history as iron-blooded as our Wang Clan … "
Wang Yan proudly brought the students around the continent and introduced them as they toured. It was obvious that he was really proud of the Wang Clan's history. At the same time, he did not forget to discredit others.
No matter what the Four Cardinal Scales had done, or how much hatred they had for Lu Yin, they had always contributed and resisted the Eternals. This was a solid contribution.
Beneath their feet, the blood had long since dried up and was now a withered black. However, the faint scent of blood could still be smelled, and the cultivators who had once fought on the frontlines were not afraid of death. These people were worthy of respect.
Lu Yin watched Wang Yan's endless introduction. If Lu Yin could avenge the Lu Clan in the future, then what would the Four Cardinal Scales do?
Along the way, Wang Yan introduced too much of the Wang Clan's history, such as how long the Cosmic Tree had existed, how long it had been in the Daosource Sect, and even how long it had been in the Daosource Sect. Although the Wang Clan's history had been blurred by the passage of time, it had not completely disappeared. It had produced countless geniuses, and there were even quite a few Progenitors, let alone Half-Ancestors. The students' eyes lit up as they listened, as it was an honor to be able to join such a large clan.
This was the effect that the Wang Clan wanted.
To these students, the Progenitor realm was out of their reach, but Wang Yan made it sound as if they could become Progenitors if they joined the Wang Clan.
"Everyone, look! There's a statue over there that has been permanently erected on the Wang Clan's mainland.
Senior Zhongyue's innate talent was extraordinary, and he came into contact with one of the elders of the Wang Clan by chance. He was attracted to join the Wang Clan, and our Wang Clan provided him with all the cultivation resources we had, allowing him to break through step by step. He became an Envoy, a Half-Ancestor, and even a Progenitor. He's our Wang Clan's foreign ancestor. "Wang Yan pointed at the statue in the distance with reverence.
The group of students gasped, and they hurriedly approached the statue to take a look.
In the crowd, Bai Weiwei was disdainful.
Nong Siniang bared her teeth. "Shameless."
Lu Yin did not understand. "What's wrong?"
Nong Siniang whispered, "Ancestor Zhongyue isn't from the Wang Clan at all. He's just close to the Wang Clan."
Lu Yin blinked. "Then why is his statue in the Wang Clan's mainland?"
Nong Siniang explained, "I heard from the elders that Ancestor Zhongyue did receive a favor from the Wang Clan, but it was only a small favor, and he was close to the Wang Clan. At that time, not only was Ancestor Zhongyue close to the Wang Clan, he was also close to the Lu Clan and the Lu Clan. Unfortunately, Ancestor Zhongyue died. At that time, he only had Ancestor Wang Fan by his side. Ancestor Wang Fan said that Ancestor Zhongyue's dying wish was to be buried in the Wang Clan's mainland, which is why the Wang Clan built a statue for Ancestor Zhongyue.
"Others didn't believe it at all, but since Ancestor Wang Fan said so, no one could refute it. In the end, Ancestor Zhongyue was buried in the Wang Clan's mainland, and the Wang Clan recruited many foreign cultivators."
Lu Yin understood; Wang Fan's move was ruthless. Just think about it, which cultivator did not want to become an Progenitor? However, the chances of becoming an Progenitor were too slim. Even the Four Way Scales, the Lu Clan, the Lu Clan, and other behemoths — how many of them could become Progenitors?
However, the Wang Clan had forcefully nurtured a foreign ancestor. How big of an impact was this to the other cultivators?
It was incomparable.
Other cultivators would think that only by staying in the Wang Clan would they be able to obtain the resources to become an Progenitor. If they had a choice, they would definitely choose the Wang Clan.
Wang Fan's move not only left Ancestor Zhongyue's corpse in the Wang Clan, but also attracted countless cultivators to join.
In the distance, the eyes of the students lit up as they stared at the statue. Young people all had their own dreams, and all of them fantasized about becoming Progenitors. This statue had a huge impact on them.
Wang Yan was pleased. This statue was the Wang Clan's weapon to recruit foreign cultivators. Who wouldn't be moved after seeing that the Wang Clan had a foreign ancestor and had left behind a statue?
Who wouldn't want to leave their own statue in the Four Way Scales?
Who wouldn't want to become an Progenitor?
"Every once in a while, the cultivators of my Wang Clan will pay respects to Ancestor Zhongyue's statue. Every new disciple has to come here to observe. This is how my Wang Clan treats talented cultivators," Wang Yan said.
Nong Siniang curled her lips.
Even Xia Shenguang and the rest could not listen to this and walked away.
The Culinary God was already numb. He had been brought here when he was young, and at that time, he had yearned to become an Progenitor like the other students. He had almost joined the Wang Clan, but the Wang Clan was too sinister.
There had been many Progenitors throughout history, but not all of them had left their names behind. Ancestor Zhongyue was definitely not a powerful Progenitor, and Lu Yin estimated that he was about the same level as the Sixth Mainland's Blood Ancestor. However, because of the Wang Clan's actions, he had left his name behind for eternity. If he was still alive, Lu Yin did not know whether he would be happy or sad.
As an Progenitor, he had fought to the death against the Eternals without leaving his name behind. However, he had left his name behind because he had been used by others.
