Chapter: 6592
Ye Chen was shocked to learn that the Wu clan had used coercion to get other families to help them continue their lineage, which was a shocking and unprecedented practice.
However, thinking back, it seemed that the Wu family's collateral families were stuck in this situation. They had to keep secrets while also continuing their bloodline, except for this evil method. Moreover, according to Song Luoyue, there are at least over twenty such collateral families controlled by the Wu family.
In the end, the Wu family has been under the protection of Wu Feiyun for several hundred years, and during this time, there have been Wu Feiyun's loyal soldiers and cavalry guards. Plagues, wars, natural disasters, and human calamities have never had any impact on the Wu family. So, the Wu family has been extremely prosperous in terms of population over these several hundred years.
The reproduction speed of ordinary families is like a rocket, but it can't compare to that of the Wu family. Therefore, they have always been expanding their collateral families.
From the time when the Bao Qing Gong was divided into five armies and the global headquarters were established, the Wu family members naturally developed into five branches due to geographical reasons. Each branch has at least three collateral families dedicated to its reproduction and inheritance.
Among them, the Left Army Commandery and the Right Army Commandery are the largest in scale, with the most people and collateral families.
For example, the Right Army Commandery has six collateral families, which is the most among all of them.
As for the Song family and other collateral families' children, marrying into the Wu family as a wife is not the best choice. Although the Wu family's important descendants have Dan Pills that can make them live to be hundreds of years old, their wives have no right or qualifications to obtain any Dan Pills. In fact, even if they get sick, they would rely on the Wu family's doctors for treatment, and if they get a serious illness like cancer, the Wu family would not have the medical conditions to treat it, nor would they give away the Dan Pills given by Wu Feiyun to an outsider.
Ye Chen listened to the introduction and had some sympathy for the Song family's collateral families. A moment later, he asked again: "Are you currently married?"
Song Luoyue shook her head: "Not yet, at the age of 16, I broke through to a new realm, and since then, I have no longer been a marriageable candidate for the Wu family."
Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock: "You broke through to a new realm at 16?"
"Yes," Song Luoyue nodded: "It was indeed 16 years old. To be precise, there were less than half a month until my birthday."
Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock: "I've never heard of anyone with such talent, who could break through to a new realm at the age of 16!"
Wudao is not about cultivators; after they attain enlightenment and grasp the spiritual energy, their abilities will surge forward instantly, equivalent to a one-step leap.
However, Wudao has no such possibility; it can only be achieved by taking steady steps.
So, cultivars in the peak realm may not be able to surpass those who have just attained enlightenment, but walking the path of Wudao is like wandering through an endless journey, with many Wudao masters still unable to enter the mysterious realm at the age of 60. Song Luoyue breaking through to the mysterious realm at 16 is truly a masterpiece among masterpieces, a genius among geniuses!
Song Luoyue's innate talent for entering the mysterious realm at 16 has left Ye Chen in shock. Without saying anything else, he intends to report this situation to the Wanlong Courtyard and fears that all members of the Wanlong Courtyard will be embarrassed and hard-pressed.
Wan Ba Jun is already a martial arts genius, but it wasn't until his mid-twenties that he managed to enter the mysterious realm with the help of others.
If he were to rely solely on himself and break through, he would likely reach the mysterious realm at the age of 40, which would be an extraordinary feat.
But Song Luoyue has not only entered the mysterious realm at 16, but even succeeded in achieving enlightenment by the time she turned 20!
This kind of innate talent and strength, Ye Chen had heard about it for the first time.
After being surprised, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her, "You entered the mysterious realm at 16, was it due to a high-level master's guidance or did you encounter some opportunity?"
Song Luoyue thought for a moment and shook her head. "There was none of that. I just had one section of martial arts principles that was similar to the ones practiced by the brave warriors and cavalrymen of Break Clear."
Ye Chen asked again, "Didn't Break Clear provide you with any help?"
"No," Song Luoyue said. "I cultivated in solitude according to my own principles, without anyone's guidance or encountering any difficulties along the way. The breakthroughs were all very smooth, and I was able to reach the peak of clarity within three years, enter the dark realm within four years, and then break through to the mysterious realm after another four years. They say that each level in martial arts is as difficult to break through as climbing Mount Tai, or even harder to find a breakthrough opportunity, but for me, everything seemed to come naturally."
