151: Chapter 151 Family Genealogy? No! Directly enshrine it as the ancestral hall plaque of my Su family!
Su Yuntian did not leak any powerful spiritual energy fluctuations from his body.
He just stood there quietly.
Yet, he seemed to merge with the heaven and earth of the entire Su Family compound, becoming the absolute core of this space.
The sunlight falling on him...
...seemed to become exceptionally heavy.
An invisible pressure...
...like the water pressure of a ten-thousand-fathom deep sea...
...diffused silently.
This wasn't a deliberately released Killing Intent or Aura.
Rather, it was a natural deterrence brought about by the absolute gap in strength levels.
Everyone on the square...
...including those few Brick Stone Rank Elders...
...involuntarily held their breath.
Awe rose in their hearts.
They bowed in greeting one after another.
Their voices carried immense respect and excitement.
“Greetings, Su Family Head!”
Jiang Yun also bowed along with the crowd.
His heart, however, was solemn.
Although this man didn't release a shred of Qi...
...the Aura displayed by his entire being made it difficult for people to look at him directly.
What surprised Jiang Yun the most was...
...that he didn't rely on a beast...
...but was actually standing directly in the Void Realm?!
Jiang Yun could feel it!
This middle-aged man!
Was extremely powerful!
He subconsciously activated his talent.
【Manifestation of All Things Entries】.
His pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the Realm entry.
Falling Star Rank!
He was actually a Falling Star Rank powerhouse!
Jiang Yun's heart shook.
This was the strongest Beast Tamer powerhouse he had seen to date!
It was also the first time he had faced a powerhouse of this level at such close range.
That unfathomable Qi...
...made him feel like a small boat in a raging sea...
...liable to be swallowed at any moment.
Under Su Yuntian's gaze...
...he had the illusion of being seen through from the inside out; his Soul trembled slightly, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Su Yuntian's gaze...
...was like two searchlights...
...crossing space...
...to land precisely on Jiang Yun.
That gaze carried scrutiny and inquiry...
...as well as a hint of irrepressible wonder.
“The commotion in the outer courtyard just now, that Aura of intertwined water and fire with a hint of King Beast Bloodline—was it caused by you?”
Su Yuntian spoke.
His voice was calm...
...yet it carried an inherent, unquestionable majesty.
Jiang Yun suppressed the palpitation in his heart.
He bowed respectfully again.
He responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“Junior Jiang Yun greets Patriarch Su. It was indeed the Aura of this Junior's beast leaking out just now, disturbing the Family Head and the Elders. Please forgive me.”
“Jiang Yun?”
Su Yuntian raised his eyebrows slightly.
He noticed the surname.
“Your surname is Jiang? You are not a disciple of my Su clan?”
The Grand Elder immediately stepped forward.
He bowed and recounted everything that had just happened.
He gave a concise but highlighted report including Jiang Yun's age, cultivation, the amazing aspects of his beasts, and his status as a matrilocal son-in-law of the C City Su Family.
Even with Su Yuntian's shrewdness and experience...
...when he heard the keywords sixteen years old, Gold First Tier, suspected Diamond Aptitude, and C City matrilocal son-in-law linked together...
...his pupils also uncontrollably contracted slightly.
A massive wave surged in his heart!
A sixteen-year-old Gold Rank!
What a shocking Foundation and potential!
A beast with Diamond Aptitude!
What Heaven-Defying Luck and future!
The key was!
This little fellow was only sixteen years old!
How did he nurture his beasts?
This undoubtedly showcased the terrifying beast-taming talent of the youth before him!
Such a True Dragon destined to soar through the Nine Heavens...
...was actually associated with their Su Family's most inconspicuous branch through the status of a matrilocal son-in-law, which could almost be called a bond?
This was no longer a pie falling from the sky.
This was a heaven-reaching beast falling from the sky!
And it had smashed right into their Su Family's courtyard!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
The future of the Su Family, the tilting of resources, the gambits with other forces, how to completely keep this True Dragon in the Su Family... the immense surprise and strong expectation...
...almost broke through the calm on his Face.
However.
He was after all the Family Head.
A Falling Star Rank powerhouse.
He took a deep breath.
He suppressed all the shock and wild joy in the depths of his heart.
On the surface, he only showed an increasingly profound smile.
He slowly spat out three words.
“Good, good, very good!”
His gaze fell on Jiang Yun once more.
That gaze was no longer one of scrutiny.
Instead, it had turned into an incredibly burning appreciation and affirmation.
His voice also suddenly rose slightly...
...spreading throughout the entire square.
“I didn't expect that a branch of my Su Family could welcome such a hidden Dragon for my Main Family! Jiang Yun, your appearance is not just the Su Family's blessing, but the Su Family's Luck! In time, the winds and clouds of this provincial city will surely change color because of you! Whether my Su Family can take another step forward, break free from these second-rate shackles, and look down upon the masses... the hope perhaps lies with you!”
These words...
...though the tone was still steady...
...the expectations and high evaluation contained within...
...were simply appalling!
“The provincial city's winds and clouds will change color because of him?”
“Break free from second-rate shackles and look down upon the masses?”
“The hope lies with him?!”
Everyone was stunned by the Patriarch's undisguised, almost extreme praise!
This was the Su Family Head.
The assertion of a Falling Star Rank powerhouse!
Its weight... was a thousand times heavier than anyone's previous praise!
Ten thousand times!
The Elders' minds also wavered.
They realized that the Patriarch's regard for Jiang Yun...
...far exceeded their estimates!
The Grand Elder struck while the iron was hot.
He stepped forward to request instructions.
“Patriarch, since that's the case, should we immediately record Jiang Yun into the Main Family genealogy and grant him the highest level of Genius treatment?”
Everyone thought this was a matter of course.
However.
Su Yuntian slowly shook his head.
Just as everyone's hearts skipped a beat...
...thinking something had gone wrong...
His next words...
...were like thunder from the Nine Heavens!
Blasting everyone's Souls out of their bodies!
“No.”
Su Yuntian's voice was categorical.
It carried an unquestionable decisiveness.
“The genealogy, he must enter. But, that is far from enough!”
His gaze swept over the field.
Every word was like a heavy hammer...
...striking everyone's heart.
“Hear my command! From this day forth, Jiang Yun shall enter my Su Family Ancestral Hall Tablets! His name shall be carved beside the ancestors who made outstanding contributions, to receive the incense offerings of future Su Family disciples! His status shall be equal to a Family Elder, enjoying all the authority and resource allocations of an Elder! Everyone in the Su Family, upon seeing him, shall treat him as they would this Patriarch, observing the etiquette of a Junior without the slightest negligence!”
Boom!!!!
If the previous words were thunder...
...then this moment!
...was the collapsing of heaven and earth!
The entire square was deathly silent for a full three breaths.
Then, an uproar broke out that almost flipped the sky!
“Tablets?! Ancestral Hall Tablets?!!”
“My God! Did I hear wrong? Entering the Ancestral Hall Tablets while still alive?!”
“This... only disciples and Elders with immense merit, or the current Old Ancestor and Patriarch are qualified! The Patriarch, he...”
“Equivalent to an Elder?! He's only sixteen! This... this...”
Everyone was going crazy!
Whether they were branch disciples or Main Family managers.
All of them were dumbfounded.
They doubted if there was something wrong with their ears!
Steward Li's legs went weak.
He almost knelt down directly.
The look he gave Jiang Yun was filled with endless awe and horror.
He knew Jiang Yun would soar to the sky.
But he didn't expect him to fly directly to the Nine Heavens so quickly!
To shine alongside the sun and moon!
The several Elders also showed expressions of extreme shock.
Grand Elder Su Zhenyue couldn't help but take a step forward.
He whispered: “Patriarch, this matter... is it too... should we consult the Old Ancestor? After all, the matter of the tablets concerns the ancestral rites and laws, to put a person with a different surname...”
Su Yuntian waved his hand.
He cut him off directly.
His tone was decisive.
His gaze was like a torch.
“No need! My mind is made up! If the old man knew my Su Family gained such a Qilin Son-in-Law, he would only blame me for being too slow and the etiquette being too light!”
He looked at Jiang Yun again.
His tone carried a kind of resolution akin to an investment.
“A bit of empty fame and resource treatment—if it can help you take flight, then in the future when you soar through the Nine Heavens and look back slightly at my Su Family, it will be a thousandfold, ten-thousandfold return! This deal, my Su Family is making it!”
Hearing this, the Elders were startled!
They understood clearly in their hearts!
Their Patriarch was going all-in!
He then instructed Steward Li.
“Steward Li, go and make arrangements immediately! Tidy up the Yunqi Courtyard to serve as the residence for Jiang Yun and his Family in the Main Family! All resources are to be delivered immediately according to the highest Elder specifications, without fail!”
“El... Elder?!”
Steward Li's voice was trembling.
“Yunqi Courtyard?! That is a top-tier courtyard second only to the Patriarch's and the Old Ancestor's secluded cultivation grounds!”
“Resources of the highest Elder specifications... just how many Spirit Stones and treasures would that be...”
Envy, jealousy, shock, disbelief... various emotions intertwined in the heart of every onlooker.
They looked at Jiang Yun...
...as if looking up at a ten-thousand-fathom divine mountain that had suddenly risen from the ground!
Jiang Yun himself was stunned.
This Patriarch Su's boldness... was simply too great!
To directly push him to the position of the Su Family's upper echelon?
This sudden importance...
...caught even him a little off guard.
But in his heart, toward this Su Main Family...
...his favorable impression indeed increased instantly.
Regardless of the other party's purpose...
...this willingness to give and this boldness...
...were enough to move anyone.
Elder Su Mang was even more excited, his old Face flushed red.
His whole body was trembling slightly.
On behalf of the C City Su Family...
...he bowed deeply to Su Yuntian.
His voice choked up.
“I... this old man, on behalf of the C City Su Family branch, thanks the Patriarch for his heavenly grace! The Patriarch's deep love for Son-in-Law Jiang Yun is something my C City Branch will engrave in our hearts and never forget!”
Su Yuntian was in an excellent mood.
Looking at Elder Su, he said kindly,
“Elder Su, you and the C City Su Family have discovered and brought such a world-shaking talent to the Family; your merit is supreme! This Patriarch specially rewards the C City Branch: the resource quota for the next ten years will be tripled! In addition, three Platinum Rank Cultivation Techniques and a thousand Spirit Crystals are bestowed as a reward!”
A heavy reward!
This was a truly heavy reward!
Elder Su only felt as if he had been hit by a massive wave of happiness.
He almost fainted!
He bowed and thanked him repeatedly.
This trip to the Main Family...
...was more than just gaining Face?
It was simply bringing honor to the ancestors.
It was enough to be recorded in the branch history of the C City Su Family!
He looked at those around him who had mocked them before...
...who were now ashen-faced and wished they could hide.
That feeling of exultation in his heart...
...reached its peak!
Jiang Yun was also somewhat surprised.
To be able to take out a thousand Spirit Crystals so casually...
...it seemed that although this Su Family was a second-rate Family in the provincial city...
...their Foundation was still quite terrifying.
Su Yuntian smiled.
Looking at Jiang Yun, who was calm but had a hint of astonishment...
...heroic pride surged in his heart.
He couldn't help but laugh loudly.
“Hahaha! Heaven blesses the Su Family! With such a Qilin Son-in-Law, why worry that the Su Family won't flourish in the future? This is simply smoke rising from the Su Family's ancestral graves! No! This is clearly the ancestral graves exploding! Hahaha!”
Su Yuntian delivered the same excited remarks as the several Elders.
Bang!!!!!
However... just as his words fell...
...an extremely dull loud bang, like the heartbeat of the earth, suddenly came from the depths of the Su Family, from the direction of the back mountain that was regarded as the ancestral land!
The ground of the entire Su Family compound shook violently!
Those with weaker cultivation on the square!
Were directly shaken until they were stumbling!
Everyone's expression changed drastically!
The smile on Su Yuntian's Face froze instantly.
He snapped his head toward the direction of the loud bang.
His eyes were as sharp as a falcon's!
At this time.
A panicked figure...
...riding a flying beast...
...rushed over from the ancestral land at top speed.
Before the person even arrived...
...the terrified scream had already torn through the air.
“This is bad! Patriarch! The an... ancestral land! The ancestral land... has exploded!!!”
