Chapter 13 Yes, It's a Reward

Yes, any clan leader would be very pleased to see such excellent young descendants in their clan.

With Wan Lei's talent, forming a Core was undoubtedly certain, and even in the future, there was hope of impacting the Yuan Ying realm.

And if the Wan family had a Yuan Ying expert, it would definitely ensure the Wan family's prosperity for thousands of years.

"Old clan leader, you flatter me. Wan Lei is just a nobody."

Wan Lei smiled modestly.

The old clan leader sighed and pointed to the elders beside him, saying, "All of you used to tell me that Hongxin's son was an incompetent playboy, a good-for-nothing without any cultivation.

I never believed it before. Hongxin was so incomparably handsome, how could he have such a son?

Look at him today, this Lei'er is so young, yet he has such cultivation, and such a temperament, humble and amiable, not arrogant or discouraged. When you were his age, who could be one-tenth as excellent as him?"

The Core Formation elders all smiled and did not respond to the old clan leader's words.

Wan Hongxin's smile was even more intense, the pride in his eyes was undisguised, and his gaze towards Wan Lei was also very satisfied.

Look, this is my son, he is stronger than anyone else.

"Alright, disperse. Prepare a banquet to celebrate Lei'er winning first place today."

Then, the clan leader looked at Wan Lei and said, "Lei'er, come with me."

Wan Lei's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart, glancing at his father.

Wan Hongxin nodded to him, his eyes full of encouragement.

Wan Lei took a deep breath and followed the clan leader towards the interior of the main residence.

Of course, he guessed what the clan leader was taking him to do at this time.

The competition was over, so it was time for rewards.

And this reward was... the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual).

Wan Lei didn't speak, following the clan leader all the way towards the interior of the main residence.

Before long, they arrived in front of an extremely magnificent courtyard.

On the plaque above the courtyard gate were four large characters.

"Wan Clan Ancestral Shrine."

The clan leader's expression became solemn and respectful as he pushed open the gate.

Wan Lei glanced at the plaque and followed behind the old clan leader, stepping into the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard, yet it was spotless.

The clan leader walked towards a large hall in the middle and then pushed open the door.

Wan Lei looked up and saw that the room was filled with densely packed memorial tablets, and in front of the tablets was a table.

On the table was an incense burner, and inside the incense burner, a stick of green incense was burning, with wisps of green smoke rising.

Behind the memorial tablets, on the wall of this hall, hung a huge portrait.

The person in the portrait was a young man.

The young man was dressed in green, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, a hint of a smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of disdain, with thunder and lightning surrounding his palm.

It was real lightning,

in this portrait.

"Unfilial descendant Wan Yangfan, pays respects to the Wan Clan's Qingyi (Green Robe) Ancestor!"

The clan leader knelt on a prayer mat and performed the great ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows towards the portrait.

The person in the portrait was called Wan Qingyi.

The Thunder Emperor!

The clan leader stood up and gave the position to Wan Lei.

Wan Lei silently walked to the prayer mat,

knelt down,

three bows and nine kowtows.

"Later descendant Wan Lei, pays respects to the Qingyi Ancestor!"

Wan Lei knelt.

For no other reason.

Only because the person in this painting once rose from obscurity by his own strength, swept across the Lei Feng (Thunder Wind) Realm, led the Wan family to rise as the number one family in the Lei Feng Realm, and established the Lei Di Dian (Thunder Emperor Hall), the largest force in the Lei Feng Realm.

Although the Wan family has declined now, and although the Thunder Emperor Hall no longer exists, leaving only a great hall.

But no matter who in the world mentions the Thunder Emperor, no one dares to say a disrespectful word.

The Thunder Emperor is a legend, an example erected in the hearts of countless people throughout the Lei Feng Realm.

Wan Lei stood up, looking at the Thunder Emperor's portrait, his eyes full of admiration.

Suddenly, the thunder in the Thunder Emperor's portrait's hand shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning appeared from it, heading straight for Wan Lei's brow.

Wan Lei was shocked and had no time to dodge. The lightning had already entered his brow.

The clan leader was stunned at first, then laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, good, good, Lei'er, do you know what that lightning was just now?"

The clan leader asked with a smile.

Wan Lei shook his head and put down his surprise. He believed that the clan leader would not harm him.

The clan leader put his hands behind his back and said, "The legend of the Thunder Emperor Ancestor, and why my Wan family has fallen to this point, I believe your father has already told you, so I won't say more.

The six great families are eyeing the Wan family covetously, all for the sake of the ancestral cultivation technique left behind by the Thunder Emperor Ancestor, the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual)!"

Wan Lei nodded, he knew this.

"But what they don't know is that this technique can only be cultivated by those with the Wan clan bloodline."

Wan Lei frowned upon hearing this and said, "In that case, why not just tell them? If they give up, they won't attack the Wan family."

"You're thinking too simply, child.

They will not allow the Wan clan to produce another Thunder Emperor.

Think about it, if they knew that only the Wan clan bloodline could cultivate the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual), then what would they most likely do to prevent the Wan family from producing another Thunder Emperor?"

"...Completely exterminate the Wan family."

"Yes, only in this way can they ensure that their family's position is not shaken. And the reason why my Wan family ancestors did not tell the six families was to leave them with a hope, so that they would be afraid to act rashly and not push us to the point of no return.

We threaten them that if they want to destroy the Wan family, we will destroy the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual). If they knew they couldn't cultivate it, our threat would be ineffective.

This matter is only known to the Wan family's past clan leaders, and I am telling you today because you were able to obtain the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual) as soon as you came in. It can be said that you are the one most recognized by the ancestor."

Is this the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual)?

Wan Lei felt the lightning entering his body, wanting to find where the so-called Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual) was.

"Before you, countless people have come here to receive the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual) inheritance. The fastest took seven days to receive the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual), and the slowest took half a year, a year, or even never received it.

But none of them have succeeded in cultivating it.

Lei'er, your talent is obvious to the Wan family. You are the future hope of the Wan family. Cultivate well here, feel the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual) carefully. You are the most likely to succeed in cultivating the Lei Di Jue (Thunder Emperor Manual)."

The clan leader's eyes were full of satisfaction and hope as he patted Wan Lei on the shoulder and said, "Cultivate here in peace, I won't disturb you.

May the ancestors bless you and my Wan family!"

With that, the clan leader got up and left the ancestral hall, solemnly closing the door.

Wan Lei was confused, but he saw the clan leader's hand trembling when he closed the door.

Was he forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart?

After a moment, Wan Lei stopped thinking wildly, sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, and closed his eyes to feel the lightning.

"You have finally come before me, and my efforts in nurturing you have not been in vain."

A voice came, so familiar.
