Chapter 1091: Chapter 622: Beginning the Ancestral Rite!

Bright City, Yang Family Ancestral Hall.

This is the ancestral hall of New Bright City, originally designed to be very large, to accommodate the future masses of descendants of the Yang Family.

Now wave after wave of people have gathered here.

The fourth and fifth generations who arrived first have already formed into small groups.

The group led by the fourth brother Yang Min Ke, mostly have a strong military and academic presence, as most are engaged in military service or educational fields, among the Yang Family’s fourth and fifth generations.

"Recently, my cultivation has been quite challenging, perhaps due to a lack of combat; I’m planning to head to the Demon Realm battlefield next month to hone my skills..."

"Hmm? Isn’t it soon time for the opening of the Legendary Land? Not taking your chance there?"

"There’s no slot for me from the family, and my luck isn’t great... It’s more practical to refine my skills."

"How about fourth brother this year? Are preparations going well? You’ll definitely have a slot."

"I’m listening to the family’s arrangements..."

Yang Min Ke appeared somewhat rigid, speaking little, and quietly listened to others’ conversations.

Meanwhile, his daughter Yang Zhu and other members of the Yang Family’s fifth generation stood alongside, chirping away.

"The ancestor worship is so formalized, done every year with offerings, but no one’s taken anything... Is there really an Immortal World? Are there really Immortals?"

"Even if there were once, they’ve abandoned us now, it’s been 100 years... what’s the point in waiting... Frankly, I’d rather have all those good things for myself to boost my cultivation."

"I’m not like you all, I believe... Great ancestor, great ancestor, grant me some cultivation, please. My dad said if I don’t reach Mid-stage Foundation Establishment this year, I’ll get my leg broken... You wouldn’t want your many-times-great-grandson to have his leg broken, would you?"

"Big sister, your cultivation has improved again... Still have time for the study of your array plate and cultivation?"

"It’s alright..."

Yang Zhu didn’t say much, seemed somewhat distracted.

She had things to do later.

Right now, she only hoped today’s formality would proceed quickly, allowing her to slip away.

Another group, led by fourth generation’s eighth brother Yang Minrui, exhibited more authority, as most held considerable positions in Bright City, overseeing various national departments.

"I say... Our tax revenue has increased again this year, and Spirit Stone reserves have grown significantly, nearly ten times those of Border Town, right? Why do we still get the same slots as them? This allocation method for the Legendary Land entry... shouldn’t it be changed, considering economic strength~?"

"I acquired some fresh demon slaves this year, one at the Golden Core Stage... Already trained, eighth brother, bring them with you when you go to the Legendary Land this year, they can assist you greatly."

"Haha~ It’s yet undecided who will go this year, let’s talk after the announcement."

"Hey~ Isn’t it just a formality, with eighth brother’s influence and strength, a single call to arms and half of Bright City would support you, who can compare?"

"Right, while we’re here in ancestor worship, don’t forget our ancestral teaching—democracy! Even a vote would be a win for us, the fourth brother’s group... combined isn’t even half of us."

"Hahaha~"

Yang Minrui laughed but remained silent; he indeed held more resources than the fourth brother.

Aside from cultivation being slightly higher than his... there’s nothing he can’t surpass.

He has both manpower and Spirit Stones; a slot undoubtedly belongs to him.

"Big brother is here!"

Upon hearing this, both the fourth brother and the eighth brother, along with other siblings, immediately tense up, assuming a serious demeanor.

Yang Min arrived, riding the wind.

He slowly landed in the center of the ancestral hall.

His appearance was extremely unique, different from other Yang Family fourth generation members.

A kind of... exotic handsomeness.

Due to possessing Demon Clan bloodline, one can immediately distinguish him from others.

Moreover, Yang Min’s aura was exceptionally unique; as soon as he arrived... the previously grouped fourth-generation immediately ceased speaking.

Some even bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at Yang Min.

It seemed as if only he was shining on the scene, while others awaited his words...

Yang Min smiled gently.

"Brothers and sisters, have you been diligent in your cultivation recently?"

Upon these words, Yang Min Ke and others raised their heads, most of Yang Minrui’s group quickly glanced around.

"The weather is great today, big brother..."

"This hall is truly a hall."

"I dreamed of the great ancestor yesterday, maybe they’re giving me guidance today, I’ll go calm my heart and feel it..."

Some fourth-generation members who hadn’t cultivated well even hesitated to speak to Yang Min.

"Big brother, I’ve learned a skill in spirit-control; let me consult you later to see how I’ve fared?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I, I, I! Big brother, I’ve cultivated for a year, my realm—has risen a bit... Is it passable?"

"This year, I’ve fought against the Demon Clan, in moments between life and death, I’ve realized, my body transformed, comprehending my divine skill: Endure Death!"

Some well-cultivated fourth-generation proudly stepped forward to praise to Yang Min.

Yang Min nodded.

"Very good, after ancestor worship, I’ll assess each of you..."

These fourth-generation members who were over a hundred years old, and held key roles in the Danai Empire, were visibly affected by these words.

Here it comes again!

Big brother’s assessment—here it comes again!

This was a tradition initiated by Yang Min ever since the Yang family’s fourth generation were young, intended to urge brothers and sisters to cultivate diligently.

And those brothers and sisters who didn’t cultivate well would be led by Yang Min into seclusion for guidance, which could last anywhere from two or three days to several months, creating immense pressure.
