The same applies to the Tai'a family. The fifth ancestor of the Tai'a family, the head of the Tai'a family, led the younger generation of the Tai'a family to participate in Yuan Zhexian's coming-of-age ceremony. The only missing person is Tai'a Qingcheng, who is still in seclusion and unable to participate.
Then, the head of the Wang family, along with his son Wang Teng and the younger generation of the Wang family, arrived.
The Holy Lord of Yaochi, a sacred land of Yaochi, also personally led the younger generation to participate in Yuan Zhexian's coming-of-age ceremony.
Taiyuan Heaven, the ancient Su family.
Tai Chentian, the home of the immortal Gu Chen.
Taixiao Heaven, the Immortal Ancient Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain.
...
Several figures flew out from the Yuan Clan's territory. Leading them was Yuan Xun, the grandfather of Yuan Zhexian and a senior elder of the Yuan Clan, along with several other senior elders. Yuan Xun smiled and addressed the assembled guests for the coming-of-age ceremony, saying, "Thank you all for attending my grandson's coming-of-age ceremony. The banquet has not yet begun; please take your seats in the banquet hall." The guests responded politely, "You are too kind, Grand Elder Yuan Xun. It is a great honor to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the forbidden Yuan Clan's divine son." After some pleasantries, the guests, led by Yuan Clan servants, took their seats. They were astonished by the Yuan Clan's vast wealth and power. The delicacies made from rare and exotic beasts were beyond their wildest imaginations. There were also various kinds of fine wines and nectars, made from precious spiritual fruits of heaven and earth. Even immortal imperial dynasties wouldn't dare to offer such things, yet the Yuan Clan could afford to host such a grand banquet. Truly, a family that existed before the creation of the world, their foundation was indeed profound.
By this time, almost everyone had arrived, and then the Yuan Clan Head and Clan Queen appeared. Among those present, two people displayed different expressions as they looked at the Yuan Clan Head and Clan Queen. The Ji Clan Head, looking at his old rival, displayed a complex array of emotions: panic, resentment, anger, and even a hint of smugness. Meanwhile, the Yaochi Holy Master, looking at Yu Lingqing beside Yuan Changsheng, revealed sorrow, resentment, and unwillingness on her beautiful face. When she looked at Yuan Changsheng again, she let out a long sigh. "Alas..." Bai Lingxi, seeing the sighing Yaochi Holy Master, asked, "Master, what's wrong?" The Yaochi Holy Master then regained her composure and said, "Nothing, just thinking about some things from the past, nothing..."
At this moment, Yuan Changsheng smiled at the crowd and said, "Welcome everyone to take time out of your busy schedules to attend my son's coming-of-age ceremony. I hope everyone enjoys the food and drinks to the fullest today." Then, looking at the entrance of the banquet hall, he said, "Immortal, it's your turn to take the stage."
Then, a person with a perfect figure, perfect looks, and perfect temperament slowly walked towards the banquet stage.
As Yuan Zhexian entered the banquet hall, a holy maiden from a sacred land couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a perfect man is probably not found in the mortal realm; he seems like a celestial being. Is he the one described as 'peerless in the world'?"
Meanwhile, many other girls from imperial clans, dynasties, and holy lands were also gazing at Yuan Zhexian with infatuated expressions, thinking how wonderful it would be if they could have him.
One particularly outspoken girl even shouted, "Yuan Clan Divine Child, I want to have your babies!" before fainting from excitement. The elders with her, witnessing this, grabbed her and immediately left the room—it was utterly shameful.
The Jade Clan Head said to the Clan Queen, "Xin'er, our nephew is incredibly handsome. He's also ranked number one on the Eternal Ranking. His looks, family background, and strength are all impeccable. Why don't we betroth our clan's pride and joy to him?" The Jade Clan Queen then raised her hand and gave the Head a sharp rap on the forehead, angrily saying, "Are you crazy? We only have one pride and joy! What? You want to be related by blood? If my sister finds out, it won't just be a rap; she'll beat you to death! And don't you know Mu Yao's heart belongs to Yuan Ruochu?" The Jade Clan Head then covered his head and said, "Xin'er, there are many people here, give me some face. I am, after all, the Jade Clan Head, and I was just joking."
"Just kidding... Fine, just don't get into my bed tonight..."
Meanwhile, in the Tai'a family, the patriarch said to the clan matriarch, "Madam, the more I look at Yuan Zhexian, the more I like him. I feel that only our Qingcheng is worthy of such a person, but it's a pity that Qingcheng has been in seclusion for several years and hasn't come out yet. She couldn't attend this coming-of-age ceremony." The Tai'a clan matriarch smiled and said, "Don't worry, anyway, the Fifth Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan have already made a marriage agreement, and they will get married sooner or later. When Qingcheng comes out of seclusion, we can let the two children meet."
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian walked to the platform and said with a smile, "I, Yuan Zhexian, welcome all elders, seniors, and young prodigies to my coming-of-age ceremony. Please enjoy the delicacies prepared today. The banquet begins." After speaking, he stepped back and sat down next to Yuan Changsheng.
After the banquet began, the Daoist disciple of the Shangqing Sect stood up, raised his cup, and addressed the crowd: "Gentlemen, I have a suggestion, however immature, I wonder if I should make it? Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Yuan Clan's Divine Child, and on behalf of the Shangqing Sect, I would like to offer my congratulations to the Divine Child." He then nodded slightly to Yuan Zhexian, raised his cup, and drank it all in one gulp. Yuan Zhexian watched Dao Wudao finish his drink, then smiled and returned the gesture, raising his cup and drinking it down as well. "Secondly," he continued, "since everyone present is a prodigy from various imperial clans, dynasties, and holy lands, why don't we take this opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and discuss our strengths?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone echoed, "What Wudao Daozi said is exactly what I was thinking. Since that's the case, why don't we all discuss it?"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian stood up, smiled at everyone, and said, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, I have no objections. Please feel free to do as you please." After saying this, he sat down and quietly watched everyone perform.
At this moment, Dao Wudao said again, "Since I made the suggestion first, then Jianzi, how about we spar again?"
