Eternal Sovereign

Du Residence, Xuying Pavilion. This pavilion was specially built by the Du Family within a few months in order to prepare for the tea party.

He had originally wanted to name it the Mysterious Shadow Pavilion, but he was worried that it would offend the direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadow Sect and the Mysterious Shadow Sect, so he decided on the same name as the Mysterious Shadows Pavilion.

The first floor was a hall specially used for competitions, and the second floor was a resting place for the young elites invited to participate in the tea ceremony.

Naturally, these so-called young talents were not born from the three great families.

The third floor was where the young geniuses of the three great families sat.

The first floor of the pavilion was empty, all the way to the third floor. From the third floor, one could see the first floor. There were four rooms on each side of the second and third floors. The door was facing the outside, and one could see the first floor directly.

Du Hai led the Chen and Zhang families directly up to the third floor. The young talents of the second floor, as well as the Heavenly Axis Realm elders who brought them here, could only watch on with dissatisfaction as Chen Yi and the others went up to the third floor.

This was the difference in status!

Arriving at the third floor, Du Hai said apologetically to the two patriarchs, "The two of you can follow me to the North Shadow Room. The rest can only rest between the East Thunder Room and the West Wood Room."

"The South Water Room is where the young talents of the Du Family and the elders of the Revolving Core realm rest."

Chen Jinghe and the others were extremely disappointed. They had been hoping to greet the direct disciples of the Mysterious Shadows Sect.

But now that their hopes had failed, they couldn't help but suspect that the Du Family was doing this on purpose. They couldn't help but think that they might have done this on purpose.

In reality, they were overthinking things. They only saw that Miao Boyang, one of the personal disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect, was too impatient and had too many people staying with him.

If the number of people they had arranged for was too many, then Miao Boyang would probably lose his temper and scold them.

If they were to be scolded in front of so many people, who knew what kind of joke the Du Family would be.

Chen Yi and the others had chosen the Eastern Thunder Room. Regarding the Du Family's ability to name themselves, Chen Yi had no strength to retort. It was very unpleasant to hear.

The Zhang family chose the west wood room. Chen Yi sat beside his father and Chen Liangliang sat on the other side. Coincidentally, Chen Jinghe and Second Uncle happened to sit opposite of each other.

Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled lightly without a trace of fear. This made Chen Jinghe and Han Ying Xue feel that they were being challenged.

"To be able to ascend to the sixth meridian so quickly, be careful of your unstable foundation." Chen Jinghe said coldly.

"Brother, you don't need to worry about that." Chen Yi said indifferently.

What a joke, the quality of his zhenqi was already high, how could his foundation be bad?

"Brother, you should worry about yourself instead. The position of the direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect is not easy to obtain. " Chen Yi didn't doubt that Chen Jihe would be able to enter the Black Shadow Sect. After all, he was not even twenty years old yet.

If he couldn't even join the Profound Imagery Sect with this kind of talent, then the requirements were simply too high.

But a direct disciple...

Forgive Chen Yi for his bluntness, but Chen Jinghe had truly overestimated him.

Chen Yi had never seen how strong the direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect were, but he knew how outstanding his father was back then. Even such an outstanding father couldn't satisfy the qualifications of the direct disciples of the Profound Imagery Sect.

Was a mere Chen Jinghe qualified?

However, Chen Yi believed that his father had only failed to meet the standard due to his poor training environment. If he had trained in the Chen family of Yuelao City from the very beginning, with his father's talent, it was still possible for him to meet the criteria to become a direct disciple of the Mysterious Shadows Sect.

Chen Jinghe smiled proudly, "If I am not qualified, then no one in the whole Yongde Town is qualified!"

Chen Liangliang rolled her eyes.

Uncle Chen could not help but say, "There's no need to go so far. What kind of sect is the Profound Imagery Sect? Even just becoming an inner disciple is enough."

"We can slowly fight for the direct disciples in the future."

Uncle Chen was not blinded by confidence like Chen Jinghe and Second Uncle Chen. He was very familiar with the situation in Yongde Town. In many small towns and even small sects outside, they didn't know anything about Yongde Town.

Just dominating in Yongde Town was nothing in the outside world.

Unfortunately, Uncle Chen's words were not taken seriously by Chen Jinghe and Uncle Chen. Chen Jinghe even felt that Uncle Chen was looking down on him, and his expression was very unpleasant. If it wasn't for Uncle Chen being an elder, Chen Jinghe would only be in the Invigorated Meridian Realm right now.

Second Uncle Chen said in dissatisfaction, "Big Brother, are you looking down on my family? I have asked around, the Small Revolving Core disciples under the age of twenty are the direct disciples of those sects. "

Chen's father raised an eyebrow and asked: "Which sect are you from?"

"Xian Xing Sect!" Second Uncle Chen said proudly.

Chen's father laughed and mocked, "The Xianxing Sect has been reduced to being a third-rate sect for a long time, and is still the lowest of the third-rate sects."

"That's only right now. The Xianxing Sect was once a second-rate sect that was not any weaker than the Profound Imagery Sect. The standards for direct disciples should be the same." Second Uncle Chen retorted.

Father Chen was speechless. How could the current standards of a third-rate sect compare to the standards of a second-rate sect?

Father Chen knew that the Xianxing Sect was a second-rate sect that was stronger than the Mysterious Shadows Sect in its heyday.

During their heyday, there were already five in the Sect of Aral. Just from the Innate realm, there were five in the Clasping Yuan Realm.

Unfortunately, he had messed with people he shouldn't have. Five of the Acupoint Charging cultivators were killed, and only three of the more than thirty Innate realm experts were left in the sect. Two of them were heavily injured and had died a few years ago.

Right now, there was only a single Gui Yuan Realm cultivator left in the Xiaxing Sect. He was already extremely weak and in dire need of talented people. How could he still be as strict as he was before?

Father and Uncle Chen immediately shut their mouths. They could see that regardless of whether it was Second Uncle Chen or Uncle Chen Jinghe, they were both highly praised over the years.

After all, most of the clan members and elders had previously believed that the patriarch of the clan was the father and son of Chen Jinghe.

Perhaps these two were not unaware that the standard of direct disciples in the Sect had been lowered, but the two were so inflated that they were unable to listen to the opinions of others. They were only willing to listen to what they wanted to hear, and only wanted to believe what they wanted to know.

Chen Yi couldn't be bothered to confront the Chen father and son duo. Instead, he looked around.

All sorts of extravagant decorations could be seen in this room. It was clear that the Du Family had put in a lot of effort to construct this pavilion in such a short amount of time. Even the financial and human resources they used up were not trivial.

It was no wonder that the spots for the tea ceremony required all sorts of resources in exchange.

Since the door was directly outside, Chen Yi could still see the Du Family in the South Water Room.

When he saw it, Chen Yi couldn't help but to reveal a puzzled expression. He actually didn't see Du Rujiao.

What happened to Du Ru Jiao? Did he give up on the tea ceremony and his revenge?

"..."

Within the northern shadow.

Chen Hanhai and the Zhang Family Head was introduced to Lu Manling and Miao Boguang by Patriarch Du.

Miao Boyang, as usual, was too lazy to respond to the two Patriarchs as he lazily took his seat.

This caused the two Patriarchs' expressions to stiffen. However, after discovering that Miao Boyang was treating Patriarch Du in such a manner, their expressions eased up a lot. At the very least, this proved that the Du Family was not trying to intimidate them.

The two Patriarchs had lived for so many years, so they were naturally well-informed and knowledgeable. They had seen many arrogant geniuses, and Miao Boyang was only one of them.

When they were young, they might have been angry with themselves for being looked down upon.

They were used to it now, or they were numb to their fate.

Fortunately, Lu Manling was not like Miao Boyang, who did not conceal his personality at all. She greeted the two Patriarchs with a smile and a bow.

After that, the two patriarchs sat next to Patriarch Du.

Then, the two Patriarchs curiously glanced to the right of Lu Manling. On her left was Miao Boguang, and on her right was not Patriarch Du, but Du Rujiao.

The two of them looked at each other. Didn't they say that the younger generation was not allowed to enter?

However, both of them quickly recalled that Du Rujiao seemed to have a good relationship with a direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect. It was precisely because of this that the direct disciple of the Profound Imagery Sect had come to Yongde Town to recruit disciples.

From the looks of it, the one who had a good relationship with Du Rujiao was Lu Manling.

In this way, the two of them did not have any objections to Du Rujiao being here. They were even a little envious that Du Rujiao and the Du Family were hugging Lu Manling's big leg.

The two of them were both intelligent people. From the Du Family Head's actions and attitude, they could already distinguish that they were both direct disciples. Lu Manling's status was higher than Miao Boguang's, and Miao Boguang had to listen to her as well.

After everyone arrived, the head of the Du family clapped his hands and a servant walked in to serve tea and various snacks.

The Du Family had paid a huge price, these tea were all not ordinary, they were all spirit tea, and they were even ranked eighth rank spirit tea. If ordinary Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists could drink eighth rank spirit tea, it would have a huge effect on their martial arts cultivation, and would be able to strengthen their foundation.

At the same time, in the other rooms on the second floor, maids were also serving tea and snacks.

"It's actually a grade eight spiritual tea. The Du Family is so generous." Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen both praised him.

Father Chen smiled but did not say anything. He had been to the Chen Family in the Yuan Le City before. He had drunk grade seven spirit tea before, not to mention grade eight spirit tea.

He had even seen grade six or even grade five spirit tea, which was exclusive for Xiantian elders to drink.

The three great families could only sigh in admiration, while the elders and youngsters on the second floor could only sigh in amazement.

Especially those young geniuses who came from low or rogue cultivators backgrounds; when had they ever drunk a grade eight spirit tea before?

In the Northern Shadow Room, Lu Manling took a sip of tea and praised it, causing Patriarch Du to smile.

However, Miao Boguang merely took a sip of his wine and put it down.

As the direct disciple of the Mysterious Shadows Sect, Miao Boguang had even drunk a seventh grade spirit tea before. The eighth grade spirit tea was not enough to move him.

He was starting to get a little impatient from the group of Patriarchs, so he directly said, "The tea ceremony should start soon."

Seeing that Miao Boyang was getting impatient, Patriarch Du smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Miao is right. It's time to officially begin."

With that, Patriarch Du walked out.
