Many other factions laughed and sneered at the Royal Family for saving someone who would die in the end, as in their eyes the Royal Family was simply wasting their time. Sooner or later, they believed those two geniuses would be dead.
But unfortunately for them, those two peerless geniuses defied everyone's expectations, as they both became Supreme Emperors, creating an entire era.
And due to owing the Cardinal Royal Family too much karma, those two geniuses, after creating and establishing their own forces, formed a very strong alliance with the Royal Family, advancing and retreating together, as both sides would support each other unconditionally to protect their interests.
This caused both parties to benefit mutually from each other, making the Royal Family even more politically powerful and influential in the world.
And it was not just that. The three founding Emperors, or ancestors, of the Royal Family had also reformed the entire education system of the family. Because of that, the members of the Royal Family were calm, calculating, avoided unnecessary conflicts, and only cared about things that would benefit their family and bring them long term profits.
But just because the members of the Royal Family were calm and peaceful didn't mean they were cowards or pushovers.
Instead, it was the exact opposite. While the members of the Royal Family were calm and calculating on the surface, they were also quite spiteful, as they would never suffer any permanent losses.
If anyone disrespected them or made them suffer any losses, they would wait like a snake for its prey. They would patiently wait for the perfect opportunity to strike when their enemies were at their weakest and catch them off guard.
As the ruthless motto of the Cardinal Royal Family stated:
"I believe in making friends and making profits. I don't believe in making enemies, but if I make one, then I will nip it in the bud and massacre their entire bloodline until no one is left for revenge."
This was a saying of the First Supreme Emperor and founding ancestor of the Royal Family. Some of his other famous sayings were:
"I don't believe in making eternal friends and enemies. I only care about eternal benefits."
"One more friend is better than a new enemy."
"Profit is the greatest virtue of all."
Analyzing all those memories, Xiao sighed in admiration.
"Dammit, what a visionary and shrewd family. They truly deserve to be at the top of this world."
Then, thinking about his memories, he pondered in confusion.
As far as he could see from the memories he had gained, after being adopted by his aunt, she had raised him ever since. He also had two beautiful sisters who were his aunt's biological daughters.
Now he was almost eighteen years old, and two days later the Awakening Ceremony was about to take place.
The Awakening Ceremony was a special event where every teenager received the blessings of the Heavens and stepped onto the path of cultivation.
'Everything was going well for the Xiao of this world until tragedy happened.'
Xiao thought.
The life of this world's Xiao had been going rather well until, when he was around twelve years old, he suddenly fell sick with a mysterious illness.
The Royal Family tried everything in its power to cure him. To be honest, with the Royal Family's power, knowledge, and resources, it shouldn't have been a problem for them to heal him completely.
But what the family didn't expect was that even after using everything in their power, along with physicians, doctors, and high level cultivators who specialized in the Life Dao and healing...
They couldn't cure him at all.
Let alone curing him, they couldn't even find the reason behind his illness or what kind of illness it was.
This caused many people to be filled with disbelief, as they couldn't believe that a family as powerful and knowledgeable as the Cardinal Royal Family couldn't cure its heir.
'All of this wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that I have the core Royal Bloodline.'
Xiao shook his head.
There were two types of bloodlines in the Cardinal Royal Family.
One was the normal bloodline, which almost ninety percent of the Royal Family members possessed.
The other was the core Royal Bloodline.
It was possessed by every Great Emperor and Heaven's Chosen of the family.
This bloodline wasn't something that could simply be passed down from one person to another as they wished.
Instead, it was only bestowed upon the most talented and capable individual of an entire generation.
When everyone in the Royal Family reached twelve years of age, they underwent a Bloodline Ceremony.
At that ceremony, only the most talented individual who fulfilled all the requirements and possessed the potential to lead the Royal Family to even greater heights could awaken the Royal Bloodline.
In every generation, only one individual could possess it.
That person would officially become the Heaven's Chosen and heir of the Cardinal Royal Family, representing the family on the Emperor Path.
But whether it was good luck or bad luck, the moment his aunt brought him into the Royal Family and gave him her bloodline, he instantly awakened the core Royal Bloodline. Without any need for the bloodline ceremony.
A feat that had never happened before, shocking and astonishing the entire Royal Family.
Because normally, when someone from a different and humble background possessed the Royal Family's bloodline, they had to wait for the Bloodline Ceremony to test whether they could awaken the core Royal Bloodline.
But the moment Xiao was brought into the family and given its bloodline, he instantly awakened the core Royal Bloodline.
This was an extremely abnormal phenomenon and represented just how much of an anomaly and how much potential he possessed.
Normally, such a thing would have been a great blessing and a huge advantage for him.
But unfortunately, because he had been affect by that vile disease and had been seriously ill those past few years. the Royal didn't make him the official hair. Instead, they simply give him another status temporarily as such as Prince of the Royal Family.
And they decided to wait and see if he could heal and recoved before the awakening ceremony. If he did then it's great. But if he didn't then they would chose another genius for the family from the awakening ceremony.
who had the highest potential, to make them undergo another bloodline ceremony to awaken their Core Royal bloodline and make them the Hair.
