Suddenly.
The First Elder recalled how the Night-Blooming Cereus Fairy had addressed the family head just now.
King of Chu...
His eyes flew wide open.
"Family head... you... Fellow Daoist Night-Blooming Cereus just called you... the King of Chu?!"
The First Elder's face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing the First Elder so utterly overwhelmed by shock,
Second Elder Li Xuanzhong finally could not hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
"Elder brother, while you were in seclusion all these years, the world outside was turned upside down!"
Then, his voice brimming with excitement and spittle flying, Li Xuanzhong rattled off the major events that had taken place during the First Elder's seclusion like a barrage of cannon fire.
Each event, each revelation.
To Li Xuantong's ears, they were like rolling heavenly thunder, leaving his head buzzing.
"A King of Different Surname..."
"Bestowed the nine honors..."
"Command over the nine southern provinces..."
Li Xuantong stood rooted to the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
Only when Li Xinge said
that in three months,
they would throw open the ancestral shrine
to inform the Li Family's ancestors that another Divine Mansion Realm cultivator had joined their ranks,
did Li Xuantong come back to his senses.
His lips trembled uncontrollably.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, yet could not get a single word out.
For an aristocratic clan,
the ancestral shrine was the most sacred, inviolable place in the entire clan.
Every grand opening of the ancestral shrine meant that something momentous enough to enter the lineage's history had occurred!
And this time, the lineage would throw open the ancestral shrine for him.
That meant
he, Li Xuantong, would have a page all to himself in the family genealogy.
What man would not want his own page in
