Chapter 833: Chapter 18 Unmatched Luck in the World_4

Therefore, the Wang family had seen a significant surge in extra income during this period.

However, for the Wang family, farming was the primary source of income. Thus, these cleared areas would enter a second round of development, becoming territories and granaries for the Wang family and their allies.

Whether it was exterminating fierce beasts or reclaiming land, no matter how meticulous the plans were, there would always be some unforeseen incidents.

After Wang Zongchang, Wang Xiaohan, Wang Longyan, and the elder from the Gongsun Clan exterminated a fierce bear that had just entered Level Six, they discovered a huge pit behind its den.

Previously, they hadn’t dared to explore too closely for fear of disturbing the bear.

If it were just a pit, that would have been one thing; though rare, it wasn’t something they had never seen before. However, the Wang family elders discovered that deep inside the pit, there was a large formation.

After failing to decipher it, they invited Lu Xiaoxiao, the Array Master from the Lu Family of Changning, for assistance. After careful inspection, Xiaoxiao determined it was an ancient formation, dating back at least three thousand years, if not five thousand.

Although the passage of time had rendered many parts of the formation ineffective, the creator’s skills vastly exceeded Lu Xiaoxiao’s, and it remained indecipherable to her.

Ultimately, the matter was reported to Wang Shouzhe, seeking guidance on whether to involve the Academic Palace.

Intervention by the Academic Palace would mean the formation was certain to be deciphered. The downside, however, was clear; they would have to share any potential benefits discovered thereafter with the Academic Palace.

After some consideration,

Wang Shouzhe took his great-grandson Wang Anye to have a look. If this didn’t work, it was never too late to seek help from the Academic Palace.

Thus, the following scene unfolded.

Wang Anye, the seventh little prince, stood forlornly on the cliff, shivering in the cold wind, while below the cliff, several elders, including Wang Shouzhe, all from the Heavenly Human Realm, hovered around the formation on their qi.

“Little Seven, jump,” Wang Zongchang called out loudly, “with so many of us watching over you, nothing will happen. Even a fly couldn’t fall to its death.”

On Wang Anye’s handsome face appeared an expression of both amusement and distress. What kind of elders were these? Jumping off a cliff to encounter a stroke of luck and using that luck to solve a formation was such a bizarre idea; how could anyone even come up with it?

Great grandfather was right. The family shouldn’t pass around those fantastical adventure scribbles. They had even bewitched the elders.

No jumping.

Obviously wouldn’t work.

Wang Anye gritted his teeth, leaped, and, despite his young age, enjoyed the thrill of a bungee jump. True to form, just before he could crash at the bottom of the cliff, the elders caught him, and naturally, he was unharmed.

But at the same time, no miracle seemed to occur.

“I told you, you can’t believe such nonsensical stuff from those scribbles,” Wang Anye muttered.

“Maybe it’s the wrong location. Try jumping again,” Wang Zongchang suggested, “our little seventh is quite miraculous.”

The suggestion was readily accepted.

Then, over the next few days, Wang Anye jumped off the cliff over thirty times, caught each time, yet a miracle never happened.

At the bottom of the cliff.

Wang Anye wriggled free from Wang Zongchang’s embrace and, pouting, walked away: “I’ve jumped off the cliff so many times it’s not even thrilling anymore. I’m not playing this game. If you want to jump, jump yourselves, childish.”

Perhaps it was his bad mood, or perhaps his haste,

Wang Anye tripped over a vine and fell to the ground with a thud: “Ouch, what bad luck, even walking can make me trip…”

As the vine triggered something, a rumbling noise of rolling stones suddenly came from within the dense fog of the formation.

The fog in front of them gradually cleared, forming a vortex-like passage.

“It’s opened! There’s a loophole in the formation now.” Lu Xiaoxiao, the ‘Array Master,’ was overjoyed, picking up Wang Anye and planting a kiss on his cheek, “Anye not only is as handsome as your cousin, but your luck truly is unrivaled in this world.”
