Chapter 213: The Three-Year-Old Celebration and the Elders of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect!
The sun shone warmly, with no clouds or rain in sight.
On this splendid day, a vast mansion in Wenyun Town was filled with excitement, decorated with festive embellishments. Tables laden with food filled the open spaces, and conversations buzzed around high-spirited discussions.
The Qilin child of the Xiang Family was celebrating his third birthday, inviting many esteemed guests!
Most of them discussed significant events from various places; as the influential figures of Wenyun Town, their interest in news was always at its peak.
When speaking of major events, someone always brought up Baishi Town. Even though ten years had passed, it remained an unresolved topic—a huge conversation starter.
"Have you heard? Someone saw people from the Demon Sect appearing near Lingze, said to be the wicked forces that destroyed Baishi Town. It really makes one worry; could Wenyun Town also be in danger?"
"Baishi Town was just a borderland; let it be destroyed. Why keep bringing up old news? We are adjacent to the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect; could any wicked path dare to be reckless?"
"You don’t understand; the guarding family of Baishi Town was led by over a dozen Great Cultivators at the Law Realms. Their power was rather terrifying! Their destruction was no trifling matter!"
"Over a dozen great cultivators? Is that true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"This…"
The questioner’s expression turned serious. If that were indeed the case, the situation was truly unusual.
Even though he came from a small family, he knew that Wenyun Town had only about a dozen cultivators, not far from Baishi Town.
If they could destroy Baishi Town, it was very likely they could threaten Wenyun Town as well.
Even if the later demon was dealt with by the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, these small figures would likely already have been buried deep, with no meaning in saying anything then.
"Since you don’t know, let me explain. It’s said that during that battle, a great cultivator from the Luo Dynasty even intervened…"
The storyteller was also quite excited, seizing the chance to elaborate, and the atmosphere grew harmonious again as they spoke animatedly.
The celebration officially began amidst the discussions.
And today’s focus was solely on the Xiang Family’s Qilin child!
Aside from the Qilin child, there was truly no one else of significance!
Dressed in a beautiful blue robe, the Qilin child walked out with the head of the Xiang Family, receiving congratulations from all around.
Though only three years old, he walked steadily, calmly bearing the countless gazes, clearly a remarkable child. It seemed the Xiang Family had indeed produced a genius.
As they reached the stage, the family head, Xiang Baizheng, publicly announced, "My son, Xiang Ying, though the third child, has exceptional talent, unmatched within the clan. I have decided to establish Xiang Ying as the heir and successor of the Xiang Family’s path!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below was astonished.
To appoint an heir at three years old was unheard of!
One must know that the masters of this realm are the spirit sects, and all prestigious families must heed the orders of the spirit sects.
Whether it’s a ruling family, an artifact family, or a Spiritual Law family, anyone wanting to inherit the family head’s position must serve the spirit sect for twelve years before returning to claim their inheritance. Anyone daring to privately establish a family head would face instant annihilation.
For a prestigious family, the position of family head is not just a title or a position; it also symbolizes the family’s fortune to some extent. The ascending bloodline receives status enhancement, promising a bright future.
The term "heir" refers to the family head’s successor and has a similar effect, albeit greatly weakened.
According to the rules set by the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, once the heir’s status is confirmed, they must join the spirit sect within three years; otherwise, the heir’s title will automatically be revoked, and they will forever lose their chance to inherit the family head’s position.
Today, as Xiang Ying celebrates his third birthday, he’ll only be six in three years. Has the Xiang Family gone mad?
Joining the spirit sect at six years old?
Is he being treated as a prodigy who is invincible and suppresses all enemies from a young age?
"…"
The unaware nobles from various families exchanged glances, frowning. Could this be an attempt to gain public favor?
"You all need not worry. My son has already caught the attention of Elder Qushuang. It is indeed better for him to join the spirit sect as early as possible. Today, our family must celebrate grandly! Hahaha!"
Xiang Baizheng, seeing this scene, was not surprised at all and laughed heartily, directly invoking the name of a prominent figure from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
"What?!"
"Elder Qushuang?"
Everyone in the audience was moved, displaying expressions of shock.
Among the prestigious families attending the banquet, only two had no great cultivators, and upon hearing this name, they instantly realized that the claims about the Qilin child of the Xiang Family were undoubtedly true. From now on, as long as this child does not meet an early demise, the great family of the law realms in Wenyun Town will undoubtedly have a place for the Xiang Family!
Qushuang of the Lan Clan, Lan Wuyin!
A mighty being of the Mystic Realm!
In five hundred years, this great being has only taken in seven disciples, all of whom are great cultivators—truly unmatched!
They swept through their peers!
Being valued by such a mighty figure surely indicates extraordinary talent. He could be the next unparalleled prodigy!
Everyone turned to the far end of the banquet.
The third son, adorned with a raindrop headdress, sat on a high platform, his demeanor calm and his appearance handsome, silently observing everything as if distant from the noise, composed and unperturbed.
Seated with him was Xiang Baizheng. Beyond him, even Xiang Baizheng’s other sons and daughters, as well as wives and concubines, sat below.
In this lifetime, he could indeed be called a genius, blessed with an innate Spiritual Eye and unmatched Spiritual Roots within the clan, demonstrating astonishing Learning Ability and combat talent since birth.
In just three years, Yun Ye had defeated all young geniuses under sixteen, astonishing the entire clan.
Because of this, he had been directly established as the heir, gaining a position of high status.
The heir could freely study a vast array of secret texts and knowledge within the family, further enriching Yun Ye’s understanding of the world.
During these three years since his birth, Yun Ye not only saw his strength continually rise, but he also gradually understood where he was.
This time, he had been reborn at Wenyun Town, located on the outskirts of the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, adjacent to one of Huangzhou’s most powerful spirit sects, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect!
The Luo Dynasty encompassed three states, twelve cities, and five hundred twenty-seven towns.
The three states are Shuizhou, Huangzhou, and Lozhou.
The twelve cities serve as the core hubs of each state, with the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect controlling one, Yuntian City.
There are only twelve big cities in the entire Luo Dynasty, and just imagining this immediately reveals the enormous influence of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
With such a superpower nearby, the environment of Wenyun Town is naturally excellent. Even the street air has spirit energy density comparable to Hongshan, and if it’s in the Spirit Land occupied by various large families, the spirit energy density is even higher, far beyond what the Hongshan spirit vein could offer.
The destruction of Baishi Town in Huangzhou and its removal from the list of five hundred twenty-seven towns happened ten years ago.
At that time, the event truly stirred quite a commotion in Huangzhou.
The Luo Dynasty has been established for a thousand years, and safeguarding the path has always increased rather than decreased, with removals being rare occurrences.
The only two exceptions were probably during the purging wars.
After all, during great battles, order inevitably breaks down, and the destruction of many paths is not surprising.
However, in normal times, such a thing is quite rare, prompting extensive discussions. The lingering effects are still very significant today, often brought up as a topic of conversation even a decade later.
