Bai Shoudao watched Bai Yi, brimming with confidence on the stage and buoyed by the cheers of over a hundred thousand people, and smiled with satisfaction.
With Bai Yi's appearance, their Bai Household might be able to cross the vast gulf separating Golden Core Aristocratic Clans that had endured for thousands of years and transform into a Nascent Soul Lineage within just a few generations.
If Bai Yi continued to grow normally, their Bai Household might even secure a place for itself throughout the Immortal Alliance.
"It's all thanks to my good judgment back then."
Bai Shoudao felt a little smug. If breaking through to Golden Core from a humble family and founding a Golden Core Aristocratic Clan had been the proudest achievement of his life, then discovering Bai Yi and making him the Bai Household's Daoist Son was surely the second-highest peak of his life.

The commotion gradually died down. After Bai Shoudao arranged for the family members in charge to properly see to the more than a hundred thousand Qinghe City residents at the Sports Stadium,
he took Bai Yi aboard a Warship amid everyone's cheers and support and headed straight back to the White Household Manor above the Qing River.
Over the next few days, Bai Yi finally took some time to properly relax with his parents and the old ancestor.
