" *Ahem , Let's proceed with the ceremonies first. After all , this banquet will only last for a short night "
Su Hao said with a cough feeling the birthday banquet and the coming age of ceremony is going in the wrong direction.
After Su Hao finished speaking a bell sound rang out in the capital city , DAWN .. no , in the entire Northern region.
The bell sound didn't stop at once but kept ringing in a pitch several times higher than before.
The reason behind such high and sharp sound is the bell being a quasi Emperor level treasure.
In the Era where it is possible for Emperor rank cultivators to appear but not the companion weapon of the same rank , the quasi Emperor and Sage rank divine armament hold the top spot for the fighting prowess .
So , it is understandable from the quasi Emperor level announcement bell that just how much wealth Su Family has inherited and made since their first ancestor created the clan .
Su Ling standing closeby on the main seat has some nervousness in her heart . After all , the coming of age ceremony is an important matter for the next ruler of the region and there are legends of some unexpected events happening.
Meanwhile ,Lin tian sitting on the random table was feeling sour from all the Treasures Su Family holds . Is this the background that made them capable of overlooking everyone in the region they ruled for several millions in years .
If only he had such an extravagant background then, would Su Ling dare to humiliate him on that day ??
Listening to the bell , The head of several clans looks at the centre with some expectations in their heart. After all , this is the actual test that will determine the worthiness of their future ruler .
Soon a few quasi Emperor and Early Emperor ranked Su family elders stand in a circle in the middle of the Hall .
The area covered by them is not low but several hundred in diameter which is basically all the roof less ground in the hall.
Long Yue sitting on the main seat gesture her son to go down in the centre of the area surrounded by the elders.
Su Yang too complied with his mother's order while putting the matter of this new Protagonist at the side .
Standing in the middle of the array-like circle structure the elder stood with. Su Yang takes a heavy breath . After all , this is the real beginning for him , as the Worthy heir of the Su Clan after passing a test on his Eighteenth birthday.
Soon the Elders started to run qi in their body at a very fast pace while trying to add a protective shield in the array like deployment they made .
" Today , My Su Clan declared Su Yang as the legitimate heir to the position of Emperor" Su Hao stood from his seat trying to inspire the imprints their ancestors had left in the river of time .
Listening to the real declaration, Everyone else too stood from their seats including the prideful Lin Tian .
After all, if the previous crown prince title holder is a strong contender for the next Emperor position then , the person going from this ceremony is the authentic heir to inherit the throne , in case several excellent descendants are born in the same generation.
The cases of a prince other than the crowned one passing this ceremony is not too uncommon throughout history . Several times in throne succession ,the crown prince was either not up to standard after a period of time or someone surpassing him by a large margin suddenly showed up in a very close relation, snatching the original position belonging to him.
Under the eyes of everyone present a phantom began to emerge in the distant sky above , covering the entire Dawn City under his shadow .
The jet black long hairs are floating in the air while the eyes with same colour are shining with a mysterious light . The imperial white robes are dustless . The rest of features are hidden by the river of time to stop the interference of people across the era .
However , others still managed to take a glimpse at this ancestor of Su Clan who seems to have a fifty-sixty percent similarly with Su Yang , himself .
Not thinking too much about the common features they share , The rest of people concluded the phantom as the ancestors belonging to Su Yang's vein family.
( Branch which Su Yang belongs to , like how Su Chen's grandchildren will be treated differently [ If possible ] from Su Yang's after the coronation as a side branch of the main clan )
After the phantom appeared the starless night seems to have been lit by several energy sources as the rays of light in the night surpassed the shining during the day . No , it should be correct to say that the phantom has become the new sun for this moment alone..
Looking at the figure belonging to the new Heir , the phantom seems to have some surprises on his face , even the eyes stayed on his body for several seconds before an ancient voice came out breaking the boundaries of time .
" Hahah, My Su family has finally hope of revenge!! Every one including [ ...] will pay the price "
The Elder standing on the sideways can't remain calm but swallow a mouthful of saliva down their throats when listening to this Ancestor's word .
Just when the phantom tried to mention some names , they felt the Heavens trying to block the information in the void .
Did they have some kind of formidable enemy that even the Heavens doens't wants to interfere in the Human realms . So , it will block the possible connection before they dare to look for them .
More Importantly, they pretty much know all of their ancestors since the establishment of the clan but who is this person they have never heard about .
The phantom was unaware of the thoughts that the others has but raising his finger in the Su Yang's direction he shot a streamer of light against his chest.
" Child , don't resist it . This is good fortune for your future advancement . "
Su Yang hearing the words of a mere Imprints in the time felt a little strange . For some reason he could even feel this phantom figure's emotions.
How high is this person's cultivation base to have residue feeling in the 'copy' that the Heaven has saved for future ' Recognition games'. He definitely has the cultivation base at least on peak Emperor level , even there are some chances of a cultivation rank never heard of by him.
But looking at the surrounding, he found out that other than his own clan, the rest of people were looking blankly at the sky trying to find something . Maybe , they are unable to hear this strange phantom or in some kind of hallucinations .
Seeing his father motioning him not to speak in front of everyone present, he chose to stay silent with several doubts in his heart at the moment. But it didn't take long before a white light hit his chest , only to be vanished after entering his body .
While being puzzled about what that good fortune can be , he raised his head above finding the phantom becoming transparent little by little. It didn't even take a minute before he disappeared making the sky dark again.
The Elders standing on either side of Su Yang were still vigilant even after the phantom disappeared before Long Yue interrupted them with a cough ..
"*cough , The ancestors had already recognised the new Heir . Su Yang is the next ruler after the current Emperor steps down from his position "
The people from the other clans wanted to report her , thinking it as some shameless behaviour which Long Yue has came up with . But seeing almost all of the elders giving a nod in the response made them a little dumbfounded.
Are these guys already in her and Crown Prince's faction and if they are then , since when ?? or did they talk with their ancestors. However, why don't they knows about it ??
But remembering that the phantom indeed has pointed his fingers towards Su Yang , they acquise with the decision. They didn't seem to have noticed the light that sank in Su Yang's body either before the ancestor's disappearance .
"Father , Mother " Su Yang too after getting free from the protection array quickly left for his parent's side and wanted to ask in a very humble tone about the incidents that just happened now .
" There are too many people here , Let's talk about this some time later "
Su Hao didn't respond to his doubts but giving a look at Long Yue's puzzled face tried to postpone the matter for the next day, to not let anyone else than the most loyal people know the secrets.
" Now since , the ceremony has been held successfully. Our family will start the real banquet of the crown prince's birthday . Everyone take a seat "
A quasi rank Elder with great prestige in the court clapped his hands asking the maid to bring the special dishes they have made .
The crowd sat on their seat backs , eating all the special dishes presentesd on their tables. All of which are rare delicacies and great tonics for the cultivator of any rank. The immortal liquid , divine fruits and the meat of a real flood dragon .
Even if you forcefully try to eat a little more it will never be a bad deal. The immediate boost on the cultivation will not be low .
The few juniors left in the hall have a sign of breakthrough in ranks but forcefully suppressing it they think of doing it on their homes as they stopped eating while trying to digest the gain from what they just ate.
Lin Tian in the crowd was different than every one else . Finding the rich resources on his table instead of some common banquet food . He too was surprised for a little while but soon with a gloomy face cursed in his heart.
'If not for lacking this treatment in my early years , I too will be at the same level as this idiot Su Yang... '
The food on his table is more than enough for him to break through spirit formation in one fell swoop but the problem is he can't absorb all the gain here alone , it will at least take a while for eating a little and digesting then again eating and digesting .
Th banquet itself is held for a few hours at most , with no provision of 'leftover food packing'. Otherwise he has a chance of breaking several ranks with a more stronger foundation.
Turning his head he found out no one special paying attention to him after starting their meal .
After waiting for a few more minutes, he rubbed the broken ring on his right hand and without any one knowing several fruits and cups of the liquid disappeared from his table .
