Chapter 15: The astonished elders

"What... how is this even possible?"

The Great Elder was shocked, his jaw hanging open with gaping mouth.

Others around him gazed equally like a ghost.

"What has this got to do with anything?" Xian Yue declared as he went out of the house.

"How did you become so Strong as a teenager?" Xian Wu asked, switching focus from the Heavenly Dao Golden List for a moment to his son.

"There is something you don't know. A fantastic complementary technique has been implanted in my mind since birth, allowing me to start practicing right from the beginning. Thanks to that technique, my practice quickly went up a few stages, and I entered the Great Emperor Realm some time ago!"

"I had been keeping my real level a secret, not wanting to attract attention, but now that I'm at the top of the ladder, I have no need for such secrecy!"

Xian Yue spun a yarn, and the others were left in the dark as to whether the story was a truth or a lie. The typical strategies of a transmigrator seemed to be of little use here.

"Companion Techniques? Seriously?" Xian Wu doubted his hears. Not that he believed it, but the universe is full of mysteries no human brain is capable of comprehending.

"Then you were bullshitting us about your realm earlier?" the Great Elder probed.

"Right!" Xiao Chen nodded. "Now you see why I said the Supreme Realm is rather low? And why I'm not scared of the Yunxiao Dynasty or the Scarlet Moon Sect?"

"Indeed, the Great Emperor is insignificant to me. Had I so willed it, I could have wiped them out with a simple move. And as for the Yunxiao Dynasty and the Scarlet Moon Sect, I hardly regard them as even ants!"

"Do you get why I'm telling you this? I want you to understand that there is no need to fear future events. Any forces opposing our Xian family are insects. If any demons rise, I will crush them. Just move boldly and confidently! "

Everyone nodded cheerfully by his words. With such a mighty man in the lead, fear was dispelled.

Now, even the lowest ranking disciple from the Scarlet Moon Sect could no longer frighten them; they would stand calmly in front of the sect leader.

The news about the top name on the Heavenly Dao Golden List sent people in Feihua City into shock. How could the second young patriarch of the Xian family possibly be comparable to it?

"Haha, how funny! Those two people with the same name were not related, right?"

Many shook their heads in disbelief, thinking it ridiculous that the young patriarch of the Xian family could be the number one person on the Heavenly Dao Golden List!

With laughter ringing out, the Xian family made preparations for a grand celebration. Thousands gathered to chow down, drink, and revel in the festive atmosphere.

Many clan members assumed they were there to celebrate recent triumphs over three families and great gains in booties.

Only the elders understood what that was all for: Xian Yue.

This influential person with such grandeur, the Xian Family could not have avoided greatness.

It was a moment certainly worth celebrating!

"Hmph, do you think you can rule Feihua City just by destroying three families and killing the city lord? You have no idea that trouble is on the horizon!"

Many smirked secretly when more news of the Xian family's joyous occasion reached them.

When the news reached the Yunxiao Dynasty, they would probably attack to kill because they regarded Yan Tianshan as the city lord.

Xian Yue sat at the head table, relishing the exquisite delicacies. The flavors here were extraordinary, far surpassing anything on Earth, and could probably be further enhanced by spiritual energy.

"If they grilled elbows with charcoal and pepper chicken over here, they would be even more perfect. I must try making them if I get the chance! "

With his unmatched cultivation, he had a right to enjoy the best this world had to offer.

"Xian Yue, you really kept your talents hidden from us, practicing in secret!" Xian Yin said, coming over with a wine glass and lightly draping an arm around his shoulder.

The younger family members close to them, Xian Lang, Xian Yan, and Xian Ruomeng started congratulating Xian Yue over becoming the house head.

Of course, they never knew the top-ranked person on Heavenly Dao Golden List was the very Xian Yue standing before them; they just knew he was the one who shared a name with that illustrious figure.

They only knew that, on one occasion, he smashed a Spiritual weapon of the Fifth Grade with one finger.

"Haha, what can I say? If I hadn't kept my practice secret, I might not even be here now!" Xian Yue said as he smiled.

"That's true. No matter how great one is, with no development, that is all to naught. Our Xian family has a weak foundation and influential supporters. To keep quiet is the way to go!" Xian Lang agreed.

"But now you don't have to fret about that anymore. With me here, you can cultivate freely and let loose your full potentiality. I'm here to back you up!" Xian Yue proclaimed transparently.

Xian Lang shook his head and sighed. "We can't quietly cultivate to your level. Our potential is limited! Even with ample resources, our future achievements might not reach great heights."

"Haha, who knows? Maybe the heavens will intervene, and we'll reach astonishing heights!" Xian Yue said, grinning.

Everyone raised their glasses in a toast and drank.

Xian Wu and the elders were already quite drunk. Having had their energy focused on the development of the family under such strain, they could now let loose with Xian Yue at the top.

After lunch and wine, the banquet came to an end.

Xian Yue went back to his room.

He drew out the Heart of the Universe, gave it a cursory glance, and then pushed it aside without much interest.

Eternal life? Universal domination? He didn't give a whit about those concepts.

The Heart of the Universe might better be put to some more productive use in rewarding clan members in the future!

Invincible and unruffled as he appeared, Xian Yue still slept through the night.

The next day, he sat cross-legged by the pond and fished. With many family matters to be taken care of, he was leaving them all to the elders, so he wouldn't need to interfere.

He even made his father the deputy patriarch. They could handle the ordinary affairs, and Xian Yue could just live in peace!

While waiting for a bite, the Great Elder hurried over, looking anxious. "Patriarch, there's trouble-Xian Zhan has returned!"

"Do you mean Xian Zhan? Didn't he leave for training? Why has he come back? Isn't that a good thing? What's the issue?"

Xian Zhan was one year older than Xian Yue, and they had often played together. However, some years back, he had left Feihua City, thinking he would get more chances elsewhere.
