There are four prominent families in Kyoto: the Yan family, the Jiang family, the Wang family, and the rapidly rising Xie family.
The ancestor of the Wang family was named Wang Shi, who was born into an ordinary peasant family.
However, with the unification of the country, Wang Shi made his fortune through gambling on stones, thanks to his unique vision and luck.
Not content with the status quo, he began to hoard land on a large scale and actively participated in the country's infrastructure projects, such as building bridges and roads. Through these real estate and infrastructure projects, he successfully amassed a vast fortune.
Wang Shi's son, Wang Tianyi, inherited his father's business and further expanded it. With his exceptional business acumen and keen market insight, he has continuously multiplied the Wang family's wealth.
Today, it is no exaggeration to say that the Wang family has become the richest family in China.
For Wang Tianyi, whose wealth rivals that of a nation, money is nothing more than a string of meaningless numbers.
After acquiring endless wealth, he began to feel the emptiness and boredom of life, so he began to try to find a way to make himself immortal.
To achieve this goal, Wang Tianyi spared no expense, secretly conducting a series of dangerous and illegal human experiments.
He hired a group of top scientists and medical experts in an attempt to extend human lifespan through various means.
Moreover, Wang Tianyi has set his sights on an even more radical field—gene editing. He firmly believes that by altering the human gene sequence, the problems of aging and death can be fundamentally solved.
To this end, he spent a lot of time and energy collecting relevant information and secretly conducted a series of shocking experiments.
The royal villa, located halfway up a mountain in the southern suburbs of Beijing, is the private estate of the Wang family.
In this city where land is incredibly valuable, a private estate surrounded by lush, green gardens stands out prominently.
Inside the estate, fountains, sculptures, and meticulously manicured flowerbeds complement each other, making one feel as if they are in a place full of poetic charm.
Under the cover of night, Yan Ziyan led Jiang Qinian through the manor and arrived at the foot of a residential building.
"Are you sure that madman Wang Chen lives in this room on the second floor?" Yan Ziyan asked, popping his head out from the grass.
Jiang Qinian crouched behind a clump of bushes and said confidently, "It's this second floor. I've been to his house for banquets before. But how do we get up there?"
Yan Ziyan patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me, you wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ziyan rushed to the building. Jiang Qinian was thinking about how to get up there when she saw Yan Ziyan leap onto the second-floor balcony like lightning.
Not long after, Yan Ziyan, carrying a human-shaped burlap sack on his shoulder, jumped down from the second floor without hesitation, as easily as if he were walking on flat ground.
Before Jiang Qinian could close her mouth, which was agape in surprise, Yan Ziyan had already walked up to her carrying a sack.
“Let’s beat him up right here, and then hang him on a tree!” Yan Ziyan suggested enthusiastically.
Jiang Qinian quickly shut her jaw-dropping mouth and nodded blankly in agreement.
It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he kept asking Yan Ziyan how he had suddenly become so powerful that he could jump off the second floor so easily.
Yan Ziyan only said that it was a family secret and not to be passed on to outsiders.
And so, poor Wang Chen was beaten senseless in his sleep, completely disoriented. His once handsome face was now swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes were swollen into two thin black lines.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Wang Chen, he slowly woke up.
However, when he opened his eyes and saw his surroundings, he was immediately stunned! He found himself completely naked, tied up to a large tree in the manor, looking as disheveled as could be.
In Yangjia Village, Qingshi Town, City C, since Jiang Wanwan returned from Shennongjia, the Jiang family has been holding frequent family meetings, as many as four or five times in total.
The themes of these meetings all revolved around how to revive the spiritual energy of Earth, accelerate the growth of the Heavenly Dao, and deal with the invasion of advanced cultivation civilizations ten years from now.
Tonight, they held another family meeting to summarize their future spiritual practice and concrete action plans for saving Earth.
First, they formulated their initial plan: to do everything in their power to improve their strength. Cultivation resources were not scarce at the moment, so everyone had to seize the opportunity and cultivate relentlessly.
Secondly, they decided to cooperate with national governments, revealing the potential disasters Earth might face ten years from now, in order to jointly develop response strategies.
Next, they planned to develop Dongshan into the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect, build the sect, and attract more people who aspire to cultivate immortality.
In addition, they plan to travel to places where major disasters have occurred in the past to explore whether there are new opportunities.
Finally, and most importantly, they must assist the dragon in rebuilding people's faith, helping it cultivate and escape its predicament.
In this world full of challenges and unknowns, the Jiang family knows that they bear a great responsibility, but they are not afraid and are determined to work hard for the future of Blue Star.
"That's all we can think of for now! Tomorrow, I will make full preparations and head to City C, the closest city to us."
It's said that the site preserves relics from the major earthquake a few years ago, and hopefully we can find something there. "Brother Lin, come with me!" Jiang Wanwan explained her plan and arrangements in detail.
