32: Chapter 32 Yet another case of recognizing one's ancestors?

"Indeed, how could Young Master Wushang compare in talent to the child before us? Heh, it seems my Jiang Clan is about to have a good show to watch."

"The position of Holy Revered Master of my Jiang Clan is also due for another lineage to sit in."

Many people whispered, and some were even eager to make a move.

For the past six thousand years, the Jiang Clan's Holy Revered Master had always come from Jiang Daoran's lineage.

Simply because this lineage produced a Great Emperor, Jiang Xinghe, six thousand years ago, allowing it to prosper ever since.

The other lineages had been suppressed for too long, and they all desperately desired someone to break the suppression of this lineage.

Otherwise, they feared they would never see the light of day.

"Jiang Clan Young Lord?" Jiang Nianyang muttered, not taking it to heart.

His goal in coming to the Jiang Clan this time was the Heavenly Emperor Scripture of the Jiang Clan.

As for some Holy Revered Master successor?

He had no interest in it whatsoever.

Hum.

At that moment, ripples stirred once again in the Void Realm outside the Jiang Clan.

A spacetime passage manifested, filled with swirling cold mist.

A little girl of about seven years old rode out from it on a snow luan.

As soon as the little girl appeared in the air, she heard the discussions by her ears.

This young girl was none other than the Third Princess of the Ji Clan, Ji Ruoxi.

"Such a lively scene? The Sun Holy Body?"

"A direct descendant of the Jiang Clan wandering outside? Interesting..."

After hearing these discussions, Ji Ruoxi shifted her gaze and looked at Jiang Nianyang with a hint of curiosity.

"So young? And already at the Seventh Realm? Is there actually someone among the external Emperor Clans who can compare with this Princess?"

"Interesting." Ji Ruoxi rested her chin in her hand, feeling doubtful and full of curiosity, "Could he be the offspring of a Great Emperor of the Jiang Clan?"

Jiang Nianyang's gaze stirred as he looked at Ji Ruoxi, immediately noticing that the latter was sizing him up.

"Eh, this young girl seems to have reached the Seventh Realm at such a young age?"

Upon sensing Ji Ruoxi's Qi, Jiang Nianyang wore a look of astonishment.

"I feel a rather intimate Qi from her... Could we originate from the same Old Ancestor?"

Jiang Nianyang whispered.

"Mhm, this girl indeed possesses a rich Jiang Clan Bloodline... She should be a close relative of yours."

In his Sea of Consciousness, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror manifested, took a glance at Ji Ruoxi, and nodded slightly as it spoke.

"As expected of the Celestial Emperor Family, the Jiang Clan produces countless talents. It seems I had better keep a low profile!" Jiang Nianyang muttered inwardly.

At this time, Ji Ruoxi noticed Jiang Nianyang looking at her, and immediately offered a welcoming smile.

Jiang Nianyang cupped his hands in acknowledgment.

Right at this moment, ripples stirred in the Void Realm.

A passage split open within the protective imperial array barrier of the Jiang Clan.

Accompanied by a long bridge of flames extending forward, Jiang Daoran came out to welcome them personally.

Traveling alongside him were seven Elders.

The gazes of the eight people shifted, locking onto Jiang Nianyang at first glance.

Jiang Daoran stepped forward, sizing Jiang Nianyang up, stroked his beard with a smile, and asked, "Are you the one who wants to return to the ancestral clan?"

"Yes!" Jiang Nianyang leapt down from the fiery Qilin and bowed to Jiang Daoran.

Jiang Daoran's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at Jiang Nianyang with an expression of utter disbelief.

"You... You..." Jiang Daoran lost his composure slightly.

"This..." The seven Elders also wore looks of astonishment.

Especially Grand Elder Great Elder Jiang Yuyang.

"This child actually looks seven parts similar to the Holy Revered Master when he was young... Could he be a descendant of the Holy Revered Master?"

Grand Elder whispered.

"Yet I wonder if he is his grandson... or his son?" Great Elder Jiang Yuyang muttered, his gaze shifting slightly as he secretly looked at Jiang Daoran.

The other six Elders also wore surprised expressions, and then looked at Jiang Daoran, thinking to themselves, "He really looks a lot like the Holy Revered Master when he was young."

"This fellow is truly lucky! His children and grandchildren have actually all awakened the Sun Holy Body." Several Elders pondered inwardly.

They were all filled with envy.

Since Jiang Nianyang and Jiang Daoran looked similar in their childhoods, they could almost conclude that the child before them belonged to the Holy Revered Master's lineage.

"Could they have discovered my identity?" Seeing that several Saints of the Jiang Clan all wore looks of surprise, Jiang Nianyang's heart trembled.

"Revered Master, should we run away?" Jiang Nianyang's consciousness sank into the Sea of Consciousness, speaking to the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror.

He mistakenly believed that the Saints of the Jiang Clan had discovered the Bloodline Qi of his maternal clan.

"That shouldn't be! This Revered Master has concealed your Qi; mere Saints cannot yet detect the Bloodline Qi of your maternal clan."

The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror stroked the bridge of its nose in thought.

"Then why is that?" Jiang Nianyang felt puzzled in his heart.

He looked at Jiang Daoran.

"Heh, little fellow, what is your name? Where does your maternal clan come from, and which member of my Jiang Clan is your father?" Jiang Daoran bent down slightly, wearing a kindly expression as he looked at Jiang Nianyang and spoke. At this moment, the gloom in his heart was mostly dispelled.

"Between the eyebrows, this little fellow looks eight parts similar to Tianxing... and nine parts similar to Wushang..." Jiang Daoran pondered inwardly.

"Is he Tianxing's son? Or Wushang's son?"

"Tianxing is in Outer Space... He shouldn't have left behind such a young child."

"Even if he did, there is a high probability he would have sent him to the Xie Family, unless even he himself did not know he had such a son."

"As for Wushang... according to what he said, he has spent these past nine years in the Disaster Battlefield hunting Disaster Spirits, so he shouldn't have had the time either."

Jiang Daoran's thoughts were in turmoil.

"Judging by this old grandfather's Qi fluctuations, he seems to harbor no malice toward me, but rather holds quite a favorable impression. Does he seem to know my father?" Jiang Nianyang raised his head and looked at Jiang Daoran, pondering inwardly, "It's just that I don't know who my father is either."

"Forget it, anyway I'm not here to look for my father; my goal is the Heavenly Emperor Scripture of the Jiang Clan to attain the Dao and become an Emperor."

After a brief consideration, Jiang Nianyang pulled back his thoughts.

His gaze was firm, and in his heart, apart from attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, he had no other thoughts.

Father?

It would only affect his attainment of the Dao and becoming an Emperor.

Better not to look for him.

"Reporting to Holy Revered Master Grandfather, my name is Jiang Nianyang. My mother was unwilling to reveal her identity, and I came secretly this time to return to the ancestral clan of the Jiang Clan. However, I can guarantee that the blood of the Jiang Clan flows within my veins, and I will never do anything disadvantageous to the Jiang Clan."

Jiang Nianyang said, raising his head.

The little fellow's eyes were bright, his expression earnest, carrying a bit of sincerity, making him appear quite well-behaved and sensible.

"Jiang Nianyang, a good name, a good name." Jiang Daoran nodded slightly with a kindly expression. He patted Jiang Nianyang's little head and said, "No matter which clan your mother comes from, as long as you are a disciple of my Jiang Clan and willing to return to the ancestral clan, the Jiang Clan will protect you."

"Come, enter the clan with me. As long as you have not been subjected to Possession by an Evil Spirit and pass the test of the Imperial Weapon, you can officially return to the ancestral clan."

He reached out and took Jiang Nianyang's small hand.

"Holy Revered Master Grandfather is so amiable." Jiang Nianyang widened his eyes in a daze, then extended his small hand, letting the old man lead him.

"Wait, I am also here to return to the ancestral clan." Not far away, seeing Jiang Daoran about to return to the clan, Ji Ruoxi hurriedly cried out.

She flew over riding an ice luan.

Soon after, the little girl leaped down from the ice luan and stood suspended in the air.

"Another return to the ancestral clan?" Hearing this, the seven Elders who were preparing to return to the clan were all stunned, turning their heads to look at Ji Ruoxi.

Jiang Daoran also turned his head to look.

"Returning to the ancestral clan? I thought she was originally a disciple of the Jiang Clan; she's actually a Prodigy wandering outside as well?"

Jiang Nianyang's face was filled with astonishment. "What a coincidence! I wonder which great sect her maternal clan belongs to, to actually be able to cultivate such a Genius."

One must know that even with extraordinary talent, an ordinary Holy Land could not cultivate a child to the cultivation level of the Seventh Realm.
