Ji Tianming was nearly driven mad. To have his son, the divine son of the Ji family, serve as a servant to Yuan Zhexian? Absolutely impossible! He immediately said, "Yuan Zhexian, do you truly believe my Ji family fears you?" With that, his Saintly cultivation erupted instantly, and the sky outside the Yuan clan slowly darkened. A Saint's wrath could change the very fabric of the world; the terrifying aura made everyone present feel breathless and incredibly oppressed. Then, another aura, even more terrifying than Ji Tianming's, burst forth, firmly suppressing Ji Tianming's presence. This was the aura of the Changsheng family head. Yuan Changsheng then calmly said to Ji Tianming, "Ji Tianming, out of consideration for our past acquaintance, I'm giving you a warning. If you dare lay a hand on my son, then everyone from your Ji family who came today should prepare to perish here."

Ji Tianming knew Yuan Changsheng quite well; he was definitely a man of his word. Seeing the domineering father and son, Ji Tianming immediately lost his temper and said to Yuan Changsheng and Yuan Zhexian: "I cannot give you an answer regarding this matter. I need to return to my clan and discuss it with my ancestors. What do you think?"

Yuan Changsheng looked at Yuan Zhexian and asked, "Zhexian, what do you think of this matter?" Yuan Zhexian thought for a moment and replied to Ji Tianming, "Alright, but you have five days to discuss it. If you haven't reached a conclusion after five days, or if you go back and pretend nothing happened, then you must ensure that Ji Jingtian never appears in the world again. Otherwise, I will surely kill him. Or you can prepare to bear the wrath of my Yuan clan."

Seeing the still domineering Yuan Zhexian, Ji Tianming's anger had reached its peak. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would immediately lose his temper. So he coldly said, "Fine, I will give you an answer in five days. Let's go." With that, he led the Ji family away.

Watching the Ji family members leave, Yuan Changsheng clapped his hands and said to the rest of the group, "Gentlemen, let the banquet continue and the exchange continue." He then instructed his servants to rearrange the things that had been overturned in the battle, and then took Yuan Zhexian to the Jade Clan and the Tai'a Clan.

Seeing Yuan Changsheng and Yuan Zhexian arrive at the Jade Clan's side, Yu Lingqing, the Yuan Clan's matriarch who was chatting and laughing with the Jade Clan's matriarch, immediately pulled Yuan Zhexian to the Jade Clan's patriarch's side and introduced him, saying, "Zhexian, this is the Jade Clan's patriarch, and also your uncle." Yuan Zhexian then bowed slightly and said, "Uncle, hello." Looking at his perfect nephew, the Jade Clan's patriarch was very satisfied and said, "Zhexian is, after all, a forbidden genius with half the blood of our Jade Clan. Good. After we return this time, I will definitely tell those old guys to bestow upon Zhexian the title of Jade Clan's Imperial Son." At this moment, Yuan Zhexian and the Jade Clan's Divine Son were slightly taken aback; the former was puzzled, and the latter was surprised. Then, the Jade Clan's Divine Son said to Yuan Zhexian, "Cousin, you don't know this, but in the countless eras since the origin of our Jade Clan, there have only been two instances of a Divine Son and an Imperial Son living in the same era. Now, with you and me, this is the third time."

This divine son of the Jade Clan, now 28 years old, is a peerless genius of his time, whose talent and abilities are no less than those of the top ten of the Heavenly Dao Ancient Tokens.

At this moment, Yuan Zhexian turned to look at Yuan Changsheng and said, "Father, is this alright?" Yuan Changsheng smiled and nodded.

“Your maternal grandfather was the previous head of the Yuan clan, and your uncle is the current head. There’s nothing wrong with you becoming the Yuan clan’s imperial son. Our Yuan clan fully agrees with this. It’s alright.” Yuan Zhexian instantly understood the meaning and said “Oh.” Afterwards, everyone chatted about everyday matters.

Just as the Jade Clan finished their conversation, Yuan Changsheng brought Yuan Zhexian to the Tai'a Clan. The Tai'a Clan Head and Yuan Changsheng were contemporaries, but unlike Ji Tianming, the Tai'a Clan Head and Yuan Changsheng had a particularly good relationship. Looking at Yuan Zhexian, the Tai'a Clan Head was very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, thankful that he hadn't had any conflicts with Yuan Changsheng back then and had even cultivated a very good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a good prospective son-in-law now. Then, he said to Yuan Zhexian, "Divine Child, now that you and Qingcheng are adults, it's time to seriously consider your marriage. Get married soon!"

Yuan Zhexian was stunned upon hearing this. A lifelong commitment? Marriage? Seeing the somewhat bewildered Yuan Zhexian, Yuan Changsheng explained, "After you were born, the Ninth Ancestor and the Fifth Ancestor of Tai'a discussed the Dao together. They talked about you and Qingcheng, and the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, so they decided to arrange your marriage." After hearing his father's explanation, Yuan Zhexian then said to the Tai'a Clan Head, "Greetings, Tai'a Clan Head. I have just come of age, and my heart is focused on the path of cultivation, constantly striving to break through my limits and sweep away all obstacles. Matters of love and romance are too early for me; I haven't considered them yet."

Hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, the Tai'a family head became somewhat anxious. Years ago, the fifth ancestor of the Tai'a family had also mentioned this matter to Tai'a Qingcheng, but at the time, Tai'a Qingcheng had strongly resisted. Today, bringing it up again with Yuan Zhexian yielded the same answer. Seeing the slightly anxious Tai'a family head, Yuan Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Let them handle the children's affairs themselves; there's no use in us worrying." He then gave the Tai'a family head a look and said, "Let's continue drinking," and without waiting for Yuan Zhexian to pull the Tai'a family head away to drink with some acquaintances.

The ensuing exchange was rather casual. And so, Yuan Zhexian's coming-of-age ceremony came to an end in a single day.

Tai Xiaotian! Ji Family.

At this moment, all the core figures of the Ji family were present in the main hall of the Ji family, including several patriarchs.

"It was my fault that Jing Tian lost to Yuan Zhe Xian this time. I was too hasty and rashly let Jing Tian fight them without fully understanding Yuan Zhe Xian's strength. I didn't expect Yuan Zhe Xian's strength to be so terrifying. Everyone has witnessed Jing Tian's strength; he not only possesses an exceptional physique but also powerful Great Emperor secret techniques, the Great Void Scripture, and even a Great Emperor weapon. While he can't be said to be absolutely invincible among those of the same level, he is certainly one of the most invincible. I never imagined that such a powerful Jing Tian would be defeated by Yuan Zhe Xian in a single move. If it weren't for my..." Even if Jing Tian had blocked Yuan Zhexian's second attack, he would probably have already perished. How could there be such a vast difference between two forbidden prodigies? Now, the Yuan Clan's divine son demands that Jing Tian serve as a servant in his divine palace; if he refuses, he will be killed on sight. Although our clan is undoubtedly one of the most powerful in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, we, the Ji Clan, are still somewhat weaker than the Yuan Clan, a clan whose depths are unfathomable and terrifying. Pointless sacrifices are the most meaningless. That's why I returned to discuss this with everyone. And we only have five days to discuss it.”
