"Th-this …"
Wu Chen's body swayed weakly, and he nearly burst into tears.
It was just a moment ago that Zhang Xuan had said those words, but it would be too late by the time he learned how to do it. In the blink of an eye, he had already exerted his strength to seal the Dimensional Sand.
Did you have to be so fast?
He felt a burning sensation on his face. If there was a hole in the ground, he would have dived right into it.
He was an expert of experts, but in less than half a day after coming into contact with Zhang Shi, he had already been slapped in the face three to four times. Every single time, he would be slapped so hard that he would lose his bearings. He had thought that he would be able to defeat Zhang Shi in one aspect, but who could have known that Zhang Shi would be strong in every aspect?
It was as if there were no flaws at all!
If he were to doubt Zhang Xuan so many times, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone!
Just that … how in the world did that fellow manage to do it?
With just a single book, the Spatial Quintessence, he was able to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence?
Could it be that all of the secrets were contained in the Spatial Quintessence?
It seemed like he would have to study this book carefully in the future. Perhaps, he might be able to comprehend something from it and advance his cultivation further!
"The Dimensional Sand has been sealed. We can leave now …"
Oblivious to Wu Chen's thoughts, Zhang Xuan casually tossed the book in his hand over to him and said.
"Un."
Lozosy chuckled softly as she dashed forward. This time, they were indeed getting closer and closer to the palace.
Wu Chen hurriedly caught the book. In the past, he would not even spare a glance at it even if it was tossed to the ground. However, at this moment, he was afraid that it would melt if he held it in his mouth, and he was afraid that he would drop it. He was afraid that he would ruin this book and delay his comprehension of space.
…
In the Luo Clan …
Two ordinary members of the Luo Clan were walking toward the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was filled with the statue of their ancestor, Luo Tianyun, and countless ancestral tablets.
Today, it was their turn to be on duty. They had to clean up the ancestral hall, light incense, and carry out all kinds of rituals.
"We have really embarrassed ourselves today! It'll be hard for the Luo Clan to make a comeback in the future … "
The green-robed member on the left shook his head dejectedly as he walked.
"Indeed. Our Luo Clan has never suffered such humiliation ever since its founding!" the green-robed member on the right said with clenched fists.
"The clan leader's engagement was broken off, his face slapped in front of everyone. If he doesn't even care, what can we do?" The green-clothed disciple sighed.
"She's not the clan leader yet! The succession ceremony hasn't been held yet, right? "The plain-clothed youth snorted.
"It wasn't held because of the marriage alliance! If not for the marriage, given her bloodline and the fact that she wields the Dimension Silencer … if she isn't the clan head, what else can she be? "the green-robed disciple said.
"She has lost so much face this time. I don't want her to be the clan leader …" The plain-clothed young man shook his head.
"What's the point of not wishing for it? It's not like you don't know the rules of the clan. Those whose bloodline reaches a certain level are eligible to become the clan head … If you really can't do it, you can still become the clan head after comprehending the Spatial Quintessence left behind by our founder! Right now, only her bloodline meets the requirements … However, for the past tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to fully comprehend the Spatial Quintessence … Who else could it be other than her? "
The green-robed disciple shook his head. "We can't possibly change the rules of the clan just because of this!"
"We can't change the rules of the clan, but our Luo Clan doesn't have to suffer such humiliation either!"
The plain-clothed young man was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet trembling. His eyebrows shot up, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's the ancestral hall! Let's head over to take a look!"
Sensing that the trembling was coming from the ancestral hall, the green-robed disciple's face warped in horror. He hurriedly rushed forward, and the plain-clothed young man followed closely behind him.
As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, the two of them froze on the spot.
At some point in time, the ancestral statue had turned around, and it was gazing into the distance with a smile on its face. It subconsciously clasped its palms together, performing a greeting befitting of an equal.
At the same time, the ancestral tablets behind the statue also seemed to have encountered something awe-inspiring. All of them were lying on the ground, trembling in fear, not daring to get up.
The words' silence 'and' emptiness' that the ancestor had left behind on the wall were also trembling non-stop, as if they would burst out of the wall at any moment.
The trembling that they had felt earlier was coming from these words.
"Could it be that … our ancestor has come back to life?"
The green-robed disciple was stunned.
"Our ancestor passed away many years ago. How could he possibly come back to life?"
The plain-clothed young man replied calmly, but he was still unable to make sense of what was going on. "I don't get it either, but there's no doubt that something huge has happened. Hurry up and inform the deputy clan head and the First Elder! We might not know what's going on, but they will! "
"Alright!"
Not daring to waste any time, the green-robed disciple quickly took out his Communication Jade Token and reported what he was seeing. Not too long later, a gust of wind howled in the air, and the deputy clan head, First Elder Luo Qingchen, Luo Xuanqing, and the others hurriedly flew over.
The Zhang clan had left after the annulment of the engagement, leaving behind a bunch of embarrassed clansmen. They had just finished dealing with the matters at hand, but before they could even rest, they had received news that something had happened to the ancestral hall.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.
"What's wrong?"
Before the green-robed disciple could even land on the ground, Luo Qiqi's father, Luo Ganzhen, had already asked.
"This … Deputy clan head, please come in and take a look …"
Not knowing how he should explain the situation, the green-robed disciple clasped his fist.
"Un."
Luo Ganzhen landed on the ground and walked into the ancestral hall with widened strides. With a single glance, he was taken aback for a moment before his face reddened in agitation. "T-this …"
"Father, what's going on?" Seeing Luo Xuanqing's expression, Luo Xuanqing frowned in confusion. The other elders were also confused by the situation.
The deputy clan head had always been a composed person. Even when the Zhang clan had caused such a huge ruckus, he did not react in such a manner. What was going on?
"Hahaha … The heavens are really helping our Luo Clan rise once more!"
Instead of answering his son's question, Luo Ganzhen burst into laughter. After which, he turned around and said with glowing eyes, "Are you all curious about what's going on? This is the Reverence of the Ancestors! If I'm not mistaken, someone must have comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing! "
"Comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing? Could it be … "Luo Qingchen's face warped in horror.
"Indeed. The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing is the core cultivation technique of our Luo Clan. If someone manages to master it, they will be able to better control the strength of our clan and execute the battle techniques that have been passed down through generations. In the tens of thousands of years since the founding of the Luo Clan, only our founder has managed to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing. Since someone has managed to do so, it means that our Luo Clan will rise once more! "
Luo Ganzhen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He hurriedly turned around and instructed, "Hurry up and find out which elder or disciple has comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing. Once we find him, we'll immediately hold the inauguration ceremony and appoint him as the next clan head!"
