Arc 27The Zhang Clan’s Ascendancy
Zhang Xuanchen welcomed twins, strengthened the Zhang Clan, and made the Western Border factions submit while preparing the clan for future threats. As demonization spread, Zhang Detian and Zhang Xuance set out on a dangerous mission, while Zhang Xuanchen prepared to awaken his children’s Spiritual Roots.
- Zhang Xuanchen arranged the Lineage’s relocation, celebrated Luo Lingshuang’s twin pregnancy, and brought Meng Ting and formation grandmasters to Xuanxiao Mountain to upgrade the spirit vein.
- Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang welcomed Zhang Xiao and Zhang Ling, whose extraordinary souls and talents impressed Xuanjing, and Zhang Xuanchen summoned the Western Border factions to their hundred-day banquet.
- After discovering a fragment linked to the Rebirth Samsara Key, Zhang Xuanchen learned that its other half lay in the Great Qian Dynasty and resolved to cross the Endless Sea.
- At Skyward Hall, Zhang Xuanchen declared the Xuanxiao Zhang Clan’s rule over the West Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, accepted the factions’ submission and tribute, and ordered Tianluo Temple’s reform under Wuxin.
- Ling Han asked to stay with the Zhang Family to pursue Zhang Xuanbing, while Wen Qingya and Zhang Detian agreed to marry in eight years and signed a covenant between their clans.
- Zhang Xuanbing rejected Ling Han’s feelings, and Dou Yuan’s control of the Ice Cold Palace weakened as Ling Yun claimed authority, and meanwhile, reports of demonized cultivators spread across the region.
- Zhang Xuanchen sent Zhang Detian and Zhang Xuance to investigate a suspected demonized creature near the Yu Family and ordered the clan to gather for the spirit vein’s coming completion.
- Zhang Xuanchen and Zhang Hongzhan went to the Awakening Hall to help Zhang Xiao and Zhang Ling awaken their Spiritual Roots, and Zhang Xuanchen spanked Zhang Xiao for boasting.
