Protect Our Chief

"This... I don’t have the courage." Wang Shouzhe chuckled dryly. "I just wanted to ask, perhaps Your Majesty has some extra True Skill~"

"Get lost... The Imperial Family doesn’t have any extra True Skills either." Emperor Longchang replied with disdain, "Your Duke Dingguo’s Mansion also has two True Skills inheritance. You should go back to them and see if you can get a chance for inheritance."

The difficulties of "True Skill" inheritance, although not as troublesome as "Treasure Manual," still cannot be compared to Upper Grade Techniques.

At those high-end auctions, Middle-Grade and Upper-Grade Techniques are rare but sometimes appear, whereas True Skill inheritance hasn’t appeared for thousands of years, showing how rare it is.

What is a True Skill?

A True Skill is a Great Divine Technique, truly possessing immense powers over heaven and earth.

Each True Skill inheritance represents a profound study and interpretation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, already reaching the legendary level of "Dao," where the subtleties aren’t something you can comprehend just by studying a Cultivation Manual.

Even if you painstakingly obtained the manual, you might still find it confusing, like reading a heavenly book, recognizing every word, but not understanding its meaning.

Thus, human Black Tortoise Cultivators, after countless millennia of exploration, created a method called Inheritance Land.

For example, among the Nine Sacred Veins, each vein represents a True Skill and an Inheritance Land.

Non-core inheritors of True Skills can only cultivate the peripheral techniques, and only true inheritors have the qualification to enter the Inheritance Land to receive the most core part of the inheritance.

This core inheritance is the most valuable part of a True Skill.

Each Inheritance Land may vary in form, yet all support the core inheritor in comprehending the true essence of the True Skill.

The most basic among them is the extremely rich energy, along with the insights of previous cultivators into this True Skill and their interpretation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, enabling inheritors to perceive the power of these laws directly and significantly increase the probability of future cultivators comprehending the essence of the True Skill.

For instance, Celestial Thunder Peak, among the Nine Sacred Veins, is the Inheritance Land for the Purple Sky Thunder Lineage; the Glazed Mingwang Hall is that for the Glazed Bright King True Technique; while the Nine-Layered Profound Origin Tower is the core Inheritance Land for Wang’s Profound Origin True Technique.

Of course, having an Inheritance Land doesn’t guarantee comprehension of True Skill’s essence. One must meet the requirements in talent and bloodline.

A Black Tortoise Cultivator with Celestial Pride Talent, or whose bloodline attributes don’t match, even if they manage to enter the Inheritance Land, the chance of understanding the essence of True Skill is negligible, wasting an inheritance opportunity and being extremely cost-ineffective.

If one hasn’t received the core inheritance of the vein, trying to use this technique to break through to the Divine Power Realm is extremely unlikely.

Unless you possess extraordinary talent, with a terrifyingly powerful potential Innate Dao Body, to possibly carve out your own path to divine techniques without relying on True Skill inheritance.

Indeed, some possessing Innate Spiritual Bodies could independently forge their path of divine techniques but their likelihood compared to Innate Dao Bodies is lower, often spending their lifetime exploring, on trial and error, unable to find the divine path before life ends.

That would truly be a shame.

Currently, the Changning Wang Family has three Innate Spiritual Bodies.

Liyao already has an arrangement, with the "least" being the core inheritance of the Celestial One True Water Lineage from the Saint Land.

And Wang Shouzhe hopes for her to further obtain the Lingyun Treasure Manual inheritance from Lingyun Sacred Land."

This Lingyun Treasure Manual, being the sole Treasure Manual of Lingyun Sacred Land, is a generously accommodating Cultivation Treasure Manual, compatible with various bloodlines, making it highly suitable for core inheritance at the Academy or Sacred Land.

On the other hand, the Daqian Imperial Family’s Azure Dragon Treasure Manual has stricter requirements, compatible only with various Dragon Bloodlines.

Of course, the highest compatibility is with the Wu Family’s unique Azure Dragon Bloodline. Other bloodlines seeking inheritance might face reluctance from Wu Family, and inherently have poorer compatibility.

Various thoughts about Treasure Manuals and True Skills swiftly flashed through Wang Shouzhe’s mind.

After calming himself, he spoke to Emperor Longchang, "Your Majesty, the Wang Family has two types of True Skill inheritance, namely Wang’s Profound Origin True Technique and Profound Ice Phoenix Suffering Technique."

Obviously, the Profound Ice Phoenix Suffering Technique isn’t suitable for Wang Shouzhe.

Although Wang’s Profound Origin True Technique is a widely applicable True Skill, the Nine-Layered Profound Origin Tower needs to accumulate energy for hundreds of years to start the core Divine Technique inheritance of the True Skill.

Though the Nine-Layered Profound Origin Tower usually unlocks two inheritance opportunities with one energy accumulation, it can’t be squandered recklessly. After all, the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion intends to support a new Divine Power Species.

The inheritance chance from the Nine-Layered Profound Origin Tower must be reserved for this new Divine Power Species.

Thus, after deliberation, the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion agreed to share a Profound Ice Phoenix Suffering Technique inheritance opportunity with the Wang Family, but cannot offer Wang’s Profound Origin True Technique inheritance.

Wang Shouzhe naturally understood this well and wouldn’t demand Wang’s Profound Origin True Technique inheritance.

After all, although the Changning Wang Family and the Daqian Wang Family share the same ancestor, they are separated by several generations, with their bloodlines drifting apart. It’s very gracious of them to offer even one opportunity while safeguarding their own inheritance, for which Wang Shouzhe was greatly appreciative.
