Hun Clan, Hun Tiandi

The scorching sun blazed high, and atop the tallest peak in the Hun Clan, stood a colossal structure spanning 9.99 million square meters. This building, over ten times larger than the Forbidden City, was the dwelling place for the direct descendants of the Hun Clan.

The entire mountain peak was as if sliced flat by a blade. At the foot of the mountain lay the Hun Clan's Imperial Capital. The Hun Clan disciples also referred to it as the Sacred City. Standing at the edge of the peak, one could gaze upon the boundless beauty of the Sacred City.

At this very moment, within the highest palace at the summit of the peak, nine men and eight women stood in two rows, trembling. They looked up at the middle-aged man seated on a nine-tiered platform.

"Clan Leader, these are the Hun Clan disciples who awakened Ninth Grade bloodlines or higher in this session's test. Among them, Hun Feng, Hun Yutong, and Hun Jianhao have not only entered the ranks of Dou Practitioners but also possess Divine Grade bloodlines!"

Below the nine tiers of stairs, the elder responsible for the test reported to the middle-aged man on the throne with extreme reverence, his head slightly bowed.

"Mm."

The middle-aged man's tone was calm, yet his presence commanded authority: "Not bad. Three individuals possess Divine Grade bloodlines this session. The three of you, raise your heads and let me get a good look at you!"

Upon hearing this, the two men and one woman standing at the front row lifted their heads, gazing slightly upwards at the middle-aged man on the throne.

Meeting the middle-aged man's gaze, beads of sweat involuntarily appeared on their foreheads. The middle-aged man had done nothing, yet his eyes felt like a vortex, swallowing their minds. A terrifying pressure, like an invisible giant mountain, pressed down on their souls, making them feel almost suffocated.

"Mm, very good!"

The middle-aged man continued in a calm tone, "According to the rules, these three will henceforth become first-sequence disciples of the Hun Clan, enjoying priority access to all resources."

"As you command!" the elder responsible for the test replied, bowing his head.

"As for those disciples whose cultivation meets the standard and possess Ninth Grade bloodlines, they will henceforth become second-sequence disciples of the Hun Clan," the middle-aged man continued to instruct.

"As you command!" the elder responsible for the test once again bowed his head.

The Hun Clan possessed the Heavenly Flame, the Nihility Devouring Flame. Ever since the last Clan Leader of the Tunling Clan, the Spirit Devouring King, was consumed by the Nihility Devouring Flame, the Hun Clan's Dou Di Bloodline had no need to worry about depletion.

In the vast Hun Clan, Divine Grade bloodlines would not alarm the true powerhouses. After all, possessors of Divine Grade bloodlines were born almost every year. As for Ninth Grade bloodlines, they didn't even have the right to look up in front of Hun Tiandi. Eighth Grade bloodlines weren't even worthy of stepping into this Sacred Hall.

For disciples with bloodlines below Eighth Grade but above Fifth Grade, an Imperial Decree would be sent to their homes. Based on their bloodline and cultivation level, they would be assigned to a specific sequence.

If, at the age of six, their cultivation did not meet the standard, and their bloodline was below Fifth Grade, their fate would be rather grim. If they had status and background, out of consideration for some faces, they would be assigned to govern a region. If they lacked significant status and background, they would be conscripted into the Hun Clan's army.

Joining the army at the age of six, wasn't that a joke? They were still children!

However, as a super force on the Dou Qi Continent, the Hun Clan's survival law was this harsh.

For the Hun Clan, having children join the army at six years old could better cultivate their loyalty and mold them into killing machines who only knew how to kill and obey orders.

The elder responsible for the test waved his hand, signaling his assistant to lead all the children away. He himself, however, remained in the hall.

"What, do you have something else?"

Hun Tiandi stood up from his throne, intending to leave, but noticed the elder had not departed. Looking at his capable subordinate, he asked.

The elder hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Finally, as if making a decision, he said, "Clan Leader, in this test, another Hun Clan disciple awakened a Divine Grade bloodline!"

Hun Tiandi showed no surprise, asking curiously, "If that's the case, why wasn't he brought here to see me?"

In the vast Hun Clan, even ordinary citizens, let alone those with Divine Grade bloodlines, as long as they awakened a Ninth Grade bloodline, would have the qualification to meet him, Hun Tiandi, in this Sacred Hall.

The elder's expression was strange as he said, "It's just that he only has the cultivation of Fighting Qi, First Stage?"

Hearing this, someone who awakened a Divine Grade bloodline but only possessed the cultivation of Fighting Qi, First Stage, Hun Tiandi was surprisingly calm in the face of such a bizarre situation. He let out a faint "Oh" from his throat.

The elder was slightly taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't fathom the thoughts of the middle-aged man before him. Moreover, the man's back was still facing him.

The elder glanced at the entrance of the Sacred Hall, his heart softening, and added, "His name is Hun... Han!"

As he finished speaking, the temperature in the air seemed to drop by a few degrees Celsius. A light breeze blew into the Sacred Hall, and the elder couldn't help but shiver.

Hun Tiandi did not turn around, his back still facing the elder. His tone carried a hint of impatience, "You may go now!"

"Clan Leader!"

Seeing Hun Tiandi's demeanor, the elder said, "He is kneeling outside right now, with no other requests. He just wants to see you before leaving the Imperial Capital. After this, who knows when he will return. Why don't you just meet him?"

Hun Tiandi still didn't turn around, his tone indifferent, "Alright, you may go now!"

Hearing this, the elder became more anxious, "Even though he awakened a Divine Grade bloodline, his cultivation is not up to standard. Even if you don't make an exception for him, you should still meet him. After all, he is also your child!"

At this, Hun Tiandi became displeased. He turned around, glared at the elder, and reprimanded, "Elder Eighteen, have you gone senile? Is your hearing failing? I already said, you may go!"

Seeing Hun Tiandi like this, the elder, with his straightforward nature, still said, "Clan Leader, Young Master Hun Han said that if you don't see him, he will kneel here indefinitely!"

"Hmph. If he likes kneeling, then let him kneel. If you try to persuade me again, don't think I won't break your legs!"

After speaking, Hun Tiandi flicked his sleeve fiercely. Without even looking at the entrance of the Sacred Hall, he turned and left.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Where am I going? Young Master Hun Han has been kneeling outside for a whole day. I once received a favor from his mother. If it weren't for his mother, I would have died a thousand years ago. If this is Young Master Hun Han's wish, then I must fulfill it today!"

"Announce, Young Master Hun Han, you may enter!"

As a loud voice rang out, Hun Han stood up from the White Marble Slab. Looking up at the Hun Clan Sacred Hall before him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. What kind of reward would he get if he could sign in from Hun Tiandi, one of the five strongest individuals!
