Liang Ruiqin's Nascent Soul banquet was held amid great bustle and clamor.
Whether in grandeur, the number of attendees, or even their standing, it far surpassed Liang Zhaohuang's Nascent Soul banquet of old.
After all, at the time, the Liang Family had only been a commandery-renowned clan. Though Liang Zhaohuang had advanced into the Nascent Soul Realm, he was not necessarily capable of elevating the Liang Family to the rank of an aristocratic clan.
Over the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty's nearly nine-thousand-year history, there had been no shortage of geniuses or those favored by fate from commandery-renowned clans who surpassed their family's rank and rose to become Nascent Soul True Lords.
It could even be said that one or two such figures emerged every few centuries.
Yet few among these geniuses and fate-favored individuals had managed to raise their own commandery-renowned clans to the rank of aristocratic clans.
Most of them perished before reaching the halfway point.
