Having heard about Yuan Zhexian from Yu family head Yu Ze long ago, Yu Shengxuan was overjoyed to see the real Yuan Zhexian in person and exclaimed, "Good, good, good! Whether it's appearance, temperament, or strength, he is unparalleled throughout the ages. He truly deserves to be my grandson."
Afterwards, Yu Shengxuan led Yuan Xun and Yuan Zhexian into the Yu Clan and arrived at the entrance of the Yu Clan's council hall.
Yuan Xun then said to Yuan Zhexian, "Zhexian, you go in first. I'll go catch up with this old man."
After responding, Yuan Zhexian entered the Jade Clan's council hall.
At this moment, Yu Ze, the head of the Yu Clan, along with the Supreme Elder and other elders of the Yu Clan, were already waiting for Yuan Zhexian in the main hall. Upon seeing Yuan Zhexian arrive, the head of the Yu Clan said, "Zhexian, you should know about my visit to Taiyu Heaven this time, right?"
Yuan Zhexian replied, "Uncle, Father said that this time I am representing the Jade Clan to participate in that Heavenly Pride and Prodigy Martial Arts Tournament."
“That’s right! Your cousin Yu Chenfeng will be going with you this time,” the Yu Clan patriarch added.
An elder of the Jade Clan also said, "Divine Child, originally only the sons of the Great Emperor could be granted the title of Imperial Son. However, you are different, Divine Child. You are destined to become an Emperor and an Immortal, so we and the Five Ancestors have unanimously decided to bestow upon you the title of Imperial Son of the Jade Clan. This matter has also been discussed by our Five Ancestors and the Nine Ancestors of the Yuan Clan."
Yuan Zhexian nodded knowingly and said, "Since this is something that the Fifth Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor discussed, then Yuan Zhexian must comply."
At this moment, the head of the Jade Clan announced, "From this day forward, Yuan Zhexian is the Imperial Son of our clan." Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Imperial Son."
Yuan Zhexian smiled and said, "Elders, there's no need for such formalities. I will surely share in the glory of the Jade Clan in the future."
Seeing Yuan Zhexian's promise, the Yu family patriarch smiled and said, "The Heavenly Pride and Prodigy Martial Arts Tournament is held in Taiyu Heaven every thousand years, and this year's tournament is the most important one yet. Many immortal imperial clans, imperial dynasties, holy dynasties, and holy lands from Taiyu Heaven will participate in this tournament hosted by the Mo family goddess, and even many ancient hidden families will participate."
Yuan Zhexian said at this moment, "Ancient reclusive families are also participating, so it seems that this Martial Arts Tournament for Prodigies and Geniuses is quite significant."
The head of the Yu family also said, "Alright, your cousin and older cousin are waiting for you in the backyard. It's been a while since you've all gotten together, so go and have a get-together."
Yuan Zhexian also cupped his hands and said, "Then I will go down first." Then the servants of the Jade Clan led Yuan Zhexian to the backyard of the Jade Clan.
After Yuan Zhexian left, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the Jade Clan's council hall, from which a terrifying aura emanated. Upon seeing this, everyone in the council hall bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Fifth Ancestor."
The five ancestors of the Jade Clan also waved their hands and said, "Please, everyone, no need for formalities."
Then he asked, "What do you all think of this boy?"
At this moment, an elder bowed and replied, "Fifth Ancestor, the Imperial Son possesses three heaven-defying physiques, each ranking among the top ten of the Three Thousand Physiques. The aura emanating from his body is so faint that even I feel a bit of pressure, which shows that his strength is quite terrifying. More importantly, the Imperial Son is neither arrogant nor impatient, and he is very respectful to his teachers. It is a great fortune for our clan to have such a person as our Imperial Son. I think that after the Imperial Son achieves enlightenment, he will lead our clan to the peak."
The people in the council hall nodded in agreement with what the elders said.
The Fifth Ancestor smiled and nodded, saying, "That's absolutely right. Although the Imperial Son is a member of the Yuan Clan, he also has the blood of our Jade Clan. I am very gratified to have such a descendant."
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian also arrived in the backyard. Yu Chenfeng and Yu Muyao were sitting at a round table chatting. Upon seeing Yuan Zhexian, Yu Muyao stood up and said happily, "Cousin, it's been a long time!"
Yuan Zhexian smiled and replied, "Yes, cousin, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful."
Yu Muyao happily exclaimed, "Really? By the way! Has Ruochu arrived? Why isn't he here?"
Uh... Yuan Zhexian forgot about that. He immediately said, "Brother Ruochu is still in seclusion in the Divine Palace. He said he wouldn't leave until he reaches the Reincarnation Realm."
Hearing Yuan Zhexian say this, Yu Muyao nodded somewhat dejectedly.
At this moment, Yu Chenfeng also said, "Oh... Reincarnation Realm? Yuan Ruochu hasn't reached the Reincarnation Realm yet? Before, that guy's realm was about the same as mine, but now I'm already at the first level of the Reincarnation Realm. I don't know how that guy cultivated."
Yuan Zhexian was speechless. The higher the level of the Three Thousand Physique, the more difficult it becomes to advance in cultivation, because the resources required for cultivating with this physique are immense, and the resources required for the higher-ranking physiques are even more terrifying. This is why those with the Three Thousand Physique are very strong, and the top twenty physiques are even more terrifying, practically invincible within their own realm, and even capable of defeating enemies across realms. Therefore, those without the Three Thousand Physique can cultivate much faster than those with it.
Although Yu Chenfeng does not possess the Three Thousand Physique, his talent and aptitude are comparable to those of the top ten ranked individuals in the Heavenly Dao Ancient Tokens of yesteryear.
Then Yu Chenfeng said to Yuan Zhexian, "Cousin, this is your first time in Tianyu City. Now that you are the imperial son of the Yu Clan, shouldn't you take a look at the capital of the Yu Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian agreed that it made perfect sense and said, "Alright, I saw how prosperous Tianyu City was when I came here, so I thought I'd like to take a look around Tianyu City."
The three then left the Jade Clan and leisurely strolled around Tianyu City for half a day. Yu Chenfeng and Yu Muyao enthusiastically introduced the city's features to Yuan Zhexian. They happened to stop in front of a restaurant called "Tingxuanlou," where people were constantly coming and going. Seeing the lively atmosphere, Yuan Zhexian said, "Cousin, cousin, why don't we go in and rest for a bit?"
