Chapter 459: Lan Clan Ancestor Worship Ceremony, First a Bit of Tea Ceremony for Ye Qingxin p2
The Lan Clan allowing outside cultivators to participate in the trial after the Ancestor Worship Ceremony was actually also to help the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
“Clan Leader, Mu Zhian requests an audience outside, saying he wants to enter the Ancestral Land to visit the two young ladies!”
Just then, a clan member delivering a message hurriedly entered the main hall and said respectfully.
Lan Pingzhi was silent for a moment, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to the clan member: “Give this jade slip to Young Friend Mu, and tell him the Ancestor Worship Ceremony will be held in three days. At that time, any cultivator can step inside to take the trial. Young Friend Mu can also use this jade slip to enter the core area of the Ancestral Land.”
After the clan member left, Lan Pingzhi sighed softly, “The prosperity maintained by the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is ultimately an illusion, not a long-term solution. Thinking carefully, our agreement with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox also ends in these two years.”
“Since Young Friend Mu is interested in that wisp of spiritual sense, let him have it.”
“Keeping a Demon Emperor in the Ancestral Land might cause more trouble in the future.”
All the elders fell silent.
“But even so, letting him enter the Ancestral Land, is it a bit…” An elder hesitated slightly.
“You don’t need to be so wary. If the ancestor’s remnant soul doesn’t agree, even with the jade slip, what outsider can enter the depths of the Ancestral Land? If Mu Zhian can really enter the depths of the Ancestral Land, then it’s his destiny, just like those two girls. There’s no need to mind it so much.”
The First Generation Elder spoke slowly, his smile benevolent. He seemed quite pleased with the two sisters, Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying, who had entered the Ancestral Land not long ago.
“The so-called purity of bloodline cannot determine everything. Among you here, and even your descendants, is there anyone with pure bloodline whose constitution surpasses Mulian and Feiying?”
These words immediately made the expressions of those present subtle, and they stopped speaking.
Of these two sisters, one possessed the Sacred Heavenly Body, and the other, although her constitution was still unknown, her cultivation talent surpassed many geniuses. Among the Lan Clan members, there really wasn’t any chosen one who could suppress them.
“It’s a pity Ancestor isn’t here, not even a wisp of spiritual sense was left behind. Otherwise, even without the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s spiritual sense, we wouldn’t have to worry about the Lan Clan facing resource scarcity in the next thousand years.”
Just then, an elder sighed softly with some regret.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions held a hint of nostalgia, even the First Generation Elder’s weathered face showed some reminiscence.
If the ancestor was still alive, what kind of sacred status would the Lan Clan have? They could even rank among the top powers in the Eastern Continent.
“I’ve heard that ghosts often wander on the Primordial Lake these past two days, suspected to be the ancestor’s remnant soul…” After a long silence, an elder suddenly said faintly.
“Don’t believe in rumors. There can’t be ghosts in this world. Don’t mention it again.”
…
Three days weren’t long. For cultivators, with a bit of meditation and cultivation, three days quickly passed.
However, this Lan Clan Ancestor Worship Ceremony was far more lively than any time in the past.
Previously, the Lan Clan was suspected of harboring demonic cultivators, but later, the Lan Clan gave the doubters a resounding slap in the face.
The one in their Lan Clan Ancestral Land wasn’t a demonic cultivator, but the Spirit Dragon!
This news spread throughout the Eastern Continent like wildfire, causing many cultivators to be shocked and even develop some yearning for the Lan Clan Ancestor Worship Ceremony.
The Spirit Dragon, a creation favored by the Great Dao, the symbol of the Nine Provinces’ Luck, wherever she went, she would bring blessings. And in the past, she had always resided within the Two Polarities Sect.
Who would have thought that the Spirit Dragon had unknowingly gone to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land…
Even the Spirit Dragon was attracted. It was hard to imagine what kind of rare sacred object was hidden within the Lan Clan Ancestral Land… Many cultivators went to the Lan Clan with this thought, wanting to see the grand occasion of this Ancestor Worship Ceremony.
Near Tianxuan City in the Eastern Continent, within a dilapidated village.
The village was surrounded by mountains, with ancient trees towering, appearing quite serene.
Usually, let alone ordinary people, even cultivators rarely passed through here.
And today, in the quiet mountains and wilderness, various magical beasts and birds flew out of the forest, seemingly fearing something.
“The Lan Clan Ancestor Worship Ceremony is about to begin, and the Sabbath’s flying saucer has been destroyed by a mysterious great power. Although Village Chief Grandpa advised me to stay, staying in such a place won’t give me the opportunity to become stronger.”
“Senior Qilin mysteriously disappeared while I was unconscious, but it doesn’t really affect me…”
At this moment, at the entrance of the dilapidated village, a young man who had just left the village was walking, murmuring to himself, planning his future actions.
“But logically, during the Ancestor Worship Ceremony, the Lan Clan will definitely keep the good things for their own clan members. Is Master really sure she can help me obtain destiny this time?”
On the surface, Huang Weifeng seemed to be murmuring to himself, but actually, he was communicating with the woman within the ring in his hand.
Xue Yi, one of the Four Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness, also the strongest god in the Southern Wilderness back then, suspected to have a close relationship with the Primordial Witch.
Huang Weifeng didn’t know much about this Dao Integration Realm expert, only that she was framed in the past, then betrayed, heartbroken, and shortly after that, she met him and now resided within his storage ring.
Xue Yi’s appearance made Huang Weifeng quite happy. Firstly, it meant his Luck was indeed strong. Shortly after Senior Qilin mysteriously disappeared, he inexplicably found this ring in the village.
Secondly, who wouldn’t like such a beautiful master?
Most importantly, Xue Yi also told him that she had a way to help him advance from Core Formation to Nascent Soul soon, and even Soul Transformation wasn’t impossible in the future.
This made Huang Weifeng even more excited.
Senior Qilin always told him to be calm and steady in his cultivation, not to think about reaching the sky in a single bound.
But he was the Heaven-Chosen One, how could he walk the ordinary path like ordinary people?
Yes… Huang Weifeng felt his cultivation speed was still too slow. At this rate, who knew when he could slap the Lan Clan in the face and take revenge on Mu Zhian.
“This time, I will hide my identity. Only by obtaining the things within the Lan Clan Ancestral Land will I have a chance to eliminate Mu Zhian…”
Thinking of this, Huang Weifeng’s eyes quickly filled with eager anticipation.
He wasn’t a fool and naturally sensed Mu Zhian’s strength.
Xue Yi told him not long ago that Mu Zhian was able to win that day because a great power’s spiritual sense resided within his body.
The Holy Light Qilin ultimately wasn’t at the Dao Integration Realm and naturally couldn’t compare to the wisp of spiritual sense within Mu Zhian’s body.
But this time was different.
Within his body, he also had the trump card of a Southern Wilderness great power. In a desperate situation, he could awaken his master!
Failing once wasn’t a big deal. The one who laughed last was the true victor!
This time, he would use the identity of ‘Huang Feng’ to amaze everyone at the Ancestor Worship Ceremony!
Huang Weifeng took a step and walked out of the village.
“Don’t you have any lingering attachment at all? Just a while ago, Old Ye and the others were still advising you to stay and cultivate calmly.”
Just then, a soft, charming, and sweet voice suddenly came from behind.
Huang Manting, dressed in a black dress, leaned against the village entrance, her arms crossed, sizing up Huang Weifeng.
Huang Weifeng paused slightly, looked at Huang Manting, and said, “Manting, we grew up together in the village since childhood. Later, you also left the village with your father. You should understand why I’m leaving today.”
“Staying in this place, there’s simply no hope.”
As he spoke, he smiled and extended a hand towards Huang Manting, “If you don’t mind, you can come with me to the Lan Clan—”
Huang Manting slightly raised her snow-white chin, glancing contemptuously at this ‘childhood sweetheart’, and said, “No, I have no interest in going with you.”
Since Huang Weifeng left the village, he rarely returned. Even when occasionally passing by the village, he was too lazy to even take a look, let alone bring some supplies for the disabled elderly in the village.
Although this young lady from the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce was indeed a temptress, at least she knew to repay the village for raising her.
If it weren’t for the several village elders stopping him, Huang Weifeng probably would have ignored the Sabbath’s arrival and left the village early.
This person was like this, desperately trying to sever his connection with the village.
“…You will regret this.”
Seeing Huang Manting’s condescending and contemptuous attitude, Huang Weifeng was stunned for a moment. Then, his emotions surged, and the words almost slipped out of his mouth.
Then, he quickly regretted it.
The original owner seemed to have admired Huang Manting for a long time, so much so that after being rejected so bluntly by her, he felt a surge of humiliation and anger.
When they were young, Huang Manting was the genius of the village, while Huang Weifeng was a cultivation cripple, often looked down upon by his peers.
And at that time, Huang Manting didn’t despise him like other children his age, but would talk to him normally.
Because of this, the past Huang Weifeng, filled with inferiority, had always secretly admired the young lady from the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce.
But later, Huang Manting moved away from the village with her father, and they lost contact.
Although the current Huang Weifeng was possessed by a ‘transmigrator’, the original owner’s obsession still remained.
Seeing the cold attitude of the goddess he once admired, he naturally felt uncomfortable.
One must know, he was no longer the same person. When he went to a small sect near the village for a competition a few days ago, he easily defeated two elders of similar realm, amazing his peers in the village.
However, Huang Manting didn’t seem to care much about this. Instead, she seemed quite concerned when someone mentioned Mu Zhian’s marriage to the Jade Empress a few days ago…
Mu Zhian, a minor villain in the early stages, also wanted to touch his woman?
Even Lan Feiying, who was also a Heaven-Chosen One, seemed to have feelings for him…
But it didn’t matter. Since Mu Zhian was a minor villain in the early stages, it was normal for his background and power to be a bit stronger.
It was also normal for women to admire him.
It was just a pity that he met him.
Huang Weifeng made up his mind and resolutely turned, leaving the village.
“Has he left?”
Shortly after Huang Weifeng left, a blind old woman with a walking stick hobbled to the village entrance behind Huang Manting, gazing in the direction the young man had left.
Huang Manting came back to her senses, feeling the chill of early spring, and quickly supported the old woman, saying, “It’s cold outside, let me help you back inside.”
However, to Huang Manting’s surprise, the seemingly frail old woman now faintly emitted an extremely terrifying Spiritual Energy.
She shook her head with a chuckle, “No need. Although this old woman suffered some injuries in the past, I’m not so weak that I need someone to support me.”
Huang Manting was stunned. Just then, she vaguely sensed something unusual coming from beside her.
“Child, come here.”
In the distance, Daochu Tianzun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Huang Manting with a smile.
Huang Manting’s beautiful eyes flickered, finally sensing something unusual.
Something’s not right…
These disabled elderly people who were frail and weak in the past, she couldn’t sense any aura fluctuations from them at all now.
Just as Huang Manting was about to speak, her eyes suddenly widened.
The next moment, an unprecedented vast Spiritual Energy emanated from these disabled elderly people!
And beside Daochu Tianzun, a golden Qilin also silently appeared in her vision.
After a brief moment of astonishment, only one thought flashed through Huang Manting’s mind: “Dao Integration Realm!”
