Lei Clan Grand Ceremony

Lei Dong knew exactly what his father was like. He helplessly spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, Father. It's no big deal. I can easily take care of it!"

Lei Ying looked at Lei Dong's confident expression and laughed heartily. "Good!"

The next day, Lei Dong did not cultivate. Instead, he inspected the cultivation levels of his group of followers.

Their hard work during that period, combined with the clan's supply of Resources, had indeed not gone to waste.

Lei Yun, Lei Dian, Lei Yu, and Lei Kong had all broken through to the Dou Wang stage.

Although they could not compare with Lei Dong, with this level of strength, they were in no way inferior to the outstanding talents of the other clans.

Lei Dong was very satisfied. Looking at them, he smiled and said, "Not bad. It seems you guys have been working hard too!"

"Boss, don't mention it. During the five years you were in seclusion, thanks to you, we practically lived in hell..."

Lei Yun looked at Lei Dong and complained bitterly. The others beside him also wore expressions that clearly said the same.

Lei Dong asked in confusion, "What does your hard cultivation have to do with me?"

Seeing that Lei Dong truly had no idea, Lei Dian explained, "Boss, because of your diligent cultivation, the younger generation in the Lei Realm was all forced to undergo another round of intensified training. We had it even worse. Aside from eating, drinking, relieving ourselves, and sleeping, we spent practically the entire day cultivating."

Lei Dong's lips twitched slightly, but he still smiled. "That's not bad! At least your hard work has paid off, hasn't it?"

"If you shed more sweat now, you'll suffer fewer casualties when you encounter enemies in the future."

Lei Yun asked in confusion, "Boss, although there are many disputes on the continent, they're only minor conflicts. As for our Ancient Races, we've always lived peacefully alongside one another. Where would we even find any enemies?"

Hearing this, Lei Dong thought, These guys have really lived in comfort for too long. They don't understand anything!

Still, he could not blame them. In the thousand years since the Ancient Families had withdrawn from the Middle Continent's stage, there had been very few major wars in the Middle Continent.

Some clans descended from ancient inheritances had also withdrawn from the world. At present, the famous forces in the Middle Continent were simply One Tower, One Hall, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions.

Of course, the Old Monsters who had lived for many years naturally understood that these forces were merely the powers visible on the surface.

The younger generation, however, knew nothing of this.

"Why are you wasting your breath? You only need to know that when I make you cultivate properly, it definitely won't be a bad thing."

In his previous life, Lei Dong had not been an irritable person. However, one became like those one associated with. His own father had possessed such a fiery temper since childhood, and Lei Dong had naturally been influenced by him.

After Lei Dong reprimanded them, the group immediately stopped complaining.

They all nodded and replied, "The boss is right!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye...

After waking up today, Lei Dong did not go cultivate. Instead, he changed into a Black Gold outfit and deliberately tidied himself up.

Staring at his reflection in the mirror, he praised himself narcissistically, "Mm~ Not bad, not bad! I'm even more damn handsome now... Gifted with extraordinary talent and possessing tremendous strength. I even have a God Grade Bloodline. How are other men supposed to live?"

Just as Lei Dong was praising himself aloud, Huo Yu happened to walk in. Seeing his narcissistic appearance, she was left speechless...

"Dong'er, stop admiring yourself. The ceremony is about to begin. Hurry up and go!"

Hearing this, Lei Dong looked over and smiled awkwardly. "Mother, wasn't what your son said the truth?"

As he spoke, Lei Dong sauntered over. Huo Yu could no longer stand it and directly kicked him out...

After being kicked outside, Lei Dong merely rubbed his backside and sighed at the room. "That kick was really heavy. Is this truly the Mother who used to hold me in the palm of her hand?"

After pretending to complain, he headed toward the Lei Clan Plaza.

With Huo Yu's strength at the peak of the Nine Revolutions, if she had used her full strength in that kick, Lei Dong would have already been reincarnated.

Lei Dong acted this way simply because he wanted to enjoy the things a child ought to have. Naturally, that included being a little naughty.

Although he was not someone who would miss being beaten after going three days without it, there was nothing wrong with occasionally pretending to be young and ignorant in front of his mother.

After Lei Dong arrived at the Lei Clan Plaza, he saw that a gigantic arena had already been erected in the center.

The Lei Clan had always used martial arts to make friends. Those whose strength was insufficient could not even enter their eyes!

Among the remaining Ancient Seven Clans, only the Yao Clan held ceremonies through alchemy. The other clans all used martial arts to make friends.

However, such ceremonies were only held when a clan had exceptionally outstanding young disciples.

Regardless of the clan, these ceremonies never invited the Soul Clan. After all, the Soul Clan seemed to have no interest in worldly affairs and never participated in the various activities of the other clans.

They only took part in the Sky Curtain Training, which was held once every twenty years.

After Lei Dong arrived, Lei Ying had an elder of the Lei Clan personally take him around to meet the geniuses of the younger generation from the various clans.

The Gu Clan's group was led by Gu Qingyang, followed by Gu Yao, Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and Gu Zhen.

The true prodigies of the Gu Clan were not present. Even if Gu Xun'er had been here, it would have been useless. After all, she had only just awakened her bloodline, and her strength had not even reached the Dou Zhe level.

Next was the Flame Clan's group, led by Huo Xuan, along with Huo Zhi, Huo... and the others.

Aside from the two Flame Clan prodigies, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, the others were not worthy of Lei Dong's attention.

After that came the Yao Clan's Yao Jixing, Yao Tian, Yao Ling...

As for the Stone Clan and Spirit Clan, they had no particularly outstanding figures, so there was no need to introduce them in detail.

The strength of the Ancient Families was determined by the number of Dou Sheng they possessed.

The Gu Clan, currently ranked first, possessed nearly forty or fifty Dou Sheng. The clan leader himself was a Nine Star Dou Sheng. Under him, there was Gu Lie, an Eight Star Dou Sheng, as well as the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan and other High-level Dou Sheng. Together, they numbered more than a dozen.

As the number-one family, the Gu Clan naturally left the other clans with nothing to complain about.

On the surface, the Soul Clan's foundation appeared to be about equal to the Gu Clan's.

After all, Soul Emperor of the Soul Clan was also a Nine Star Dou Sheng, while the strength of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan was not inferior to that of the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan. They also possessed more than a dozen High-level Dou Sheng!

Of course, no one besides Lei Dong knew the Soul Clan's true foundation. Even if Lei Dong revealed it, no one would believe him.

The next tier consisted of the Lei Clan and the Flame Clan.

Both clans possessed around thirty Dou Sheng. Aside from Lei Ying and Yan Jin, they had only four or five other High-level Dou Sheng.

(Those above Six Star are considered High-level Dou Sheng!)

Aside from Yao Dan and Elder Wanhuo, the Yao Clan had only a dozen or so Dou Sheng.

As for the Stone Clan and Spirit Clan, they were even weaker—utterly Weak Chicken.
