Chapter 3761 The Struggle For The Five Residences (1/2)
Chapter 3761 - The Five Palaces
Beside the coiling dragon column at the Dragon King's Altar, countless people and the Divine Dragon were looking up at the sky, waiting for Jiang Shen Wu, Jiang Zizai's only son.
At this moment, Jiang Shen Wu was in a simple and elegant room in King Zong's Manor.
Of course he knew what day it was, but before heading for the Dragon King's Altar, he had to make a trip because his mother was sick and needed someone to serve her.
Outside the window, the leaves were falling and the wind was cold.
In the cold room, there was a bowl of warm medicinal soup on the dressing table. It was concocted by Jiang Shen Wu for his mother. Although it might not have any effect, it would at least warm her body.
On the simple and elegant wooden bed, a woman was lying sick. Her beautiful face when she was young could be vaguely seen, but now she had a strange sickness. Her body was extremely weak.
”Divine Martial, it has already been ten years since your father disappeared, and you have finally stepped into the dragon climbing state as you wished. If you can rise in power just like your father in the future, as a mother, I won't have any regrets.” The woman said softly.
Jiang Shen Wu nodded and said seriously: ”Mother, you can rest a.s.sured that I will not disappoint you.”
Although Jiang Shen Wu was currently only fifteen years old, he had already stepped into the dragon climbing state. His slightly immature face carried a trace of unswerving determination.
To be able to step into the dragon climbing state at the age of fifteen, not to mention the entire Jiang clan, it could be considered as one of the top achievements.
It was precisely because of this that the focus of the entire Jiang clan was on him, the son of the former Clan leader of the Jiang Clan.
Countless people looked forward to his fall, but there were also countless people waiting for him in the dark, because he was the son of the Clan leader of the Jiang Clan and one of them were from the King Zong's Manor s of the five palaces. In the other four palaces, there were people who wanted to suppress the King Zong's Manor.
Although the current Jiang Shen Wu, who stepped into the dragon climbing state at the age of fifteen, was the number one genius in the world and was also the target of countless people's jealousy, Jiang Shen Wu herself, was under a lot of pressure.
His father had already disappeared ten years ago without any news. His mother was in bed, and her body was growing weaker and weaker. There was still no hope of recovery. This allowed Jiang Shen Wu to mature early on.
Compared to the other 15 year olds, Jiang Shen Wu's mind was undoubtedly more exquisite and mature.
”I believe that you, Divine Martial, will act just like your father back then. You will definitely be able to accomplish something.” The sickly woman on the bed chuckled softly. Her eyes were as gentle as water as she looked at Jiang Shen Wu, her son.
Within her eyes, the image of Jiang Shenwu's young and tender face, which was filled with determination, was reflected. Her sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes were almost identical to her missing husband's face.
Especially those two eyes. They were so clear, so free, so confident, and even had a soaring ambition.
It was just that in Jiang Shen Wu's eyes, there was an additional responsibility compared to his father's that year. It was a burden that made a woman's heart ache for him.
A fifteen year old child, yet he had to carry so many burdens. His father was missing, his mother was ill, and it could even be said that he had no relatives in the entire Jiang clan. He only had an uncle that he could depend on.
Most importantly, if Jiang Shen Wu were to go to the Dragon King Altar today, it would be fine as long as he could inherit divine dragon blood s that were above Sky Dragon level.
Countless people were staring at King Zong's Manor, even within King Zong's Manor, the sons of Clan leader of the Jiang Clan, there were also staring at the position of clan leader.
The explosion of the Absolute Beginning furnace created a terrifying shockwave that swept across the surroundings.
”Hurry up, it's a pity that your parents can't accompany you on this important day. No matter what happens, you can only face it by yourself. This is your day as a dragon …” The woman on the bed revealed a hint of sadness.
Hearing that, Jiang Zizai quickly interrupted his mother, ”Mother, you can rest well. I'll be right back. I'll bring you the good news very quickly.”
”Alright.”
The woman nodded.
Jiang Shen Wu stood up and turned around to pick up the bowl of soup. He turned around and fed the soup to his mother. Then, he stood up and left, his eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
