The Ten Thousand Ways to Hug the Female Protagonist’s Thigh - Chapter 23.2

Painting cultivators were rare in the current cultivation world, while sword cultivators dominated. Five of the ten great human immortals were sword cultivators, while only one was a painting cultivator. This immortal had no connection to the Wen family, or he would not have stood by as the family fell.

Thus, when Elder Wen finished speaking, even the envoys from other families were puzzled. Could it be that this Wen family honestly had no connection to the Wen family of Buzhou City?

If Wen Shu, as Elder Wen’s only disciple, indeed abandoned sword cultivation to become a painting cultivator, it would prove that Elder Wen possessed no inheritance from the Wen family of Buzhou City.

Apart from the few clan elders who already knew the truth, many were shocked by the sudden revelation. The family’s Nascent Soul elder had emerged from seclusion, declared himself a painting cultivator, and named a child his personal disciple. The amount of information was significant.

In contrast, the clan leader’s sons remained calm. They were well aware of their limitations in cultivation. Reaching the fifth level of Qi Refinement was already achieved through their father’s influence. Wen Shu, despite her young age, was talented and hardworking. It wasn’t hard to understand why Elder Wen had chosen her.

After finishing his speech, Elder Wen turned his gaze to the envoys, saying nothing.

The envoy representing the Shao Kingdom’s imperial family understood the situation and courteously took their leave. The envoys from the great families, unwilling to give up, lingered but were politely escorted out by a blue-robed elder of the Wen family.

“What follows is the Wen family’s secret realm trial. We kindly ask the honored guests to wait outside,” the elder said courteously.

Every family had its secret realm. Though reluctant, the envoys had no choice but to bow respectfully toward Elder Wen and take their leave.

The news that the Wen family’s late-stage Nascent Soul elder was still alive was crucial information for the imperial family and the other great families. It would undoubtedly alter their previous plans.

In previous years, the clan leader opened the family’s secret realm, and the new disciples would explore its outer regions for three days. Their rankings were determined by the quantity and quality of the treasures they obtained.

However, with twenty Foundation Establishment disciples and two Golden Core elders participating this time, Elder Wen opened the entire secret realm.

A glowing water droplet appeared in Elder Wen’s palm. With a gentle wave, he said, “Go!”

The droplet ascended and gracefully expanded, creating a passageway.

“Good luck to you all,” Elder Wen said kindly as the disciples entered the secret realm individually. Hidden within the realm was the divine brush left by the family’s founding ancestor. Would Wen Shu be fortunate enough to find it?
