Half a year later.
Within a courtyard located at the inner territory of the sect, we can see many people gathering.
This people's are the younger generation of Infinity Dragon Sect, ranging from 100 year old being the oldest and 15 years old being the youngest.
All these youth are the children of the sect elder.
They are all children from the outer, inner elders.
This gathering is not necessarily gathering of geniuses, but more like gathering of children of influential members of the sect
Even if you didn't have high cultivation base, you can still participate in this gather if your parent is high enough in the sect.
.
However right now most people who gathered here are the people's who's parents are mostly outer elder and low and mid ranking inner elder, for the children of high ranking inner and core elder, there are special place for them
Mainly sitting at special table that overlooked the entire gathering.
Those who sits in this table are people who's in the future are the most likely to be influential member of the sect in the future.
However the table are currently empty, and that's mainly because they are waiting for the call for them to appear one by one
Yes, unlike the lower ranking people's, the people who's is allowed to sit in here will be personally called by their name, and parents name before sitting in the table.
This is mainly to established pecking order within the gathering.
The more late your name is called, it mean the higher ranking you are.
doesn't mean the first person who is being called is weaker though, still compared to those who are standing below, that person is still significantly more powerful backing.
.
A low ranking inner elder who is at the 7th step of Celestial Immortal nodded at himself.
'It seems like everything is in order'
This inner elder is currently in charge of the gathering, if you were to put in earth term, then he will be the master of ceremony.
He'll be managing the gathering to make sure nothing too damning may happen.
And although he is just low ranking inner elder, he is still an elder of the 5th step Celestial Immortal, he is more than enough for it. Plus we is also appointed by the Temp sect master to do it, so no one will have disagreement on it.
*Clap!*
He clap his hand to gather attention on himself
Soon, the noises disappear, and all eyes on him, the people's know what that clap mean.
It mean the real show is on
"Good, now I am sure you all know what this gathering is about, however! before we start, let us called some esteemed individuals to join sit at the table of honor"
"Please welcome young master Yu De, son of of 9th step Venerable Celestial inner elder lord Yu Liu"
*Clap clap clap*
From a one of where the rest of the special individuals temporarily spend their time a young man appear.
Followed by his guardian a 7th step Celestial Immortal.
After being called, this young man who looked in his mid twenties appear, this young man is Yu De, currently 43 years old.
He doesn't really have much defining characteristic except for his deep red eyes, a trait he inherit from his father whom is a skilled alchemist.
Although his red eyes sometimes make people thing he is evil, he is actually a quite a nice person who really enjoy studying alchemist.
Yu De look at the crowd below, cup his hand and sit at his designated seat, the farthest from the biggest seat within the round table
.
"And next please welcome Young Master Tan Zemin, son of 10th step Venerable Celestial inner elder, lord Tan Minze"
*Clap clap clap*
Another man appear this time he looked like in the early thirties, this man is Tan Zemin, 89 years old.
Followed by his guardian also a 9th step of Celestial Immortal.
The most recognizable feature of him is the big gauntlet in his hand, he also have more confident face compared to Yu De, his father Tan Minze is an inner elder who is a high ranking hand to hand combat instructor.
Unlike Yu De who cup hand toward the crowd.
He just say
"Yo"
Before also sitting at his designated chair
He did give a small greeting toward Yu De who also return the greeting
.
"And next we shall welcome Young Master Peng Gang, son of 3rd step Celestial King inner elder, lord Peng Cheng"
Another person came out of the waiting house.
Followed by his guardian a 2nd step Celestial Profound Immortal
This time a young man in his mid twenties appear, this man is Peng Gang, 45 years old
His father Peng Cheng is an inner elder who deals with the sect foreign affairs.
Contrary to his scary name, he have a decently handsome face, but ruined by his perpetually sleepy looking eyes, yes this person ever since he was a child has always been sleepy, many people at first think it was a curse, but turn out he is just lazy.
He just wave his hand toward the crowd lazily before sitting at his designated chair, and after giving lazy greeting toward the two went and sleep on the table.
.
"And we welcome Young Lady Bai Shu, daughter of 4th step Celestial King inner elder lady Bai Rong"
*Clap clap clap*
This time the crowd clap a bit more enthusiastically.
This time a woman appear from another house different from the other three before her.
Followed by her guardian, a 3rd step profound Celestial Immortal.
The young woman looks like in her late twenties, her Pink purposely open to show ample her ample breast making a lot of the young masters gathering here stare at it, she is Bai Shu 59 years old
Her mother Bai Rong is also a high ranking member of the sect that deals with foreign affairs.
"Well hello everyone"
saying that with a slightly flirtatious voice, she give the crowds a wink before sitting at her designated chair, she also give greeting toward the other three which they did reply with the exception of Peng Gang who is asleep.
.
"And next we shall welcome with honor Young Master Ma Bo, son of the 6th step Celestial King inner elder, lord Ma Ping"
And coming out from the same house the other three male, A young man with bright red hair and carefree smile appear.
He is followed by his guardian a 5th step profound Celestial Immortal.
Looking like he is in his early twenties, this man is Ma Bo 39 years old.
His father Ma Ping is a high ranking member of the sect attack force, the type of unit that will hunt anyone that dares to mess with members of the Infinity Dragon Sect.
Being the 2nd (3rd actually) highest ranking youths of this generation, he is actually a genuinely nice fella, he isn't a typical boisterous young master, but he is quite ruthless towards his enemies.
.
"And with great honor let us welcome Young lady Zi Zexian, daughter of the 2nd step Celestial Emperor, The Celestial Emperor of Golden Fist, Core elder Lord Zi Kong"
*CLAP CLAP CLAP*
An incredibly enthusiastic clap can be heard.
And different from the other appearance, this time the young lady appear from a bright blue fire that suddenly appear in near the table.
From out of it came Zi Zexian, along side her guardian, a 1st step Venerable Celestial Immortal.
Looking like in her early twenties Zexian can be described as cold beauty, she have a snow white skin and have deep purple colored hair that she let flow freely, she also wear a red robe to hide her beautiful body, she is also only 25 years old.
Her face however is cold and proud, she look as if she is disinterested in everything.
This however doesn't really surprise the crowd at all, she is after all the only child of core elder Zi Kong.
Zi Kong is a 2nd step Celestial Emperor with the nickname of Golden Fist, and although he is a 2nd step Celestial Emperor he is know to have hit above his weight and won the battle.
He is also core elder of the Sect and the only thing above him is the (temp) sect master and the monsters that is the 4 grand elder.
Zi Kong is also currently the sect master of a subsidiary sect called the "Golden Dragon Sect" at an upper realm below the "dawn" Grand Upper Realm.
So Zi Zexian being an overly cold woman is doesn't really suprise them at all, she is essentially a princess, doesn't help she is also quite a prodigy.
.
After giving a small but cold nod toward the crowd, Zi Zexian slowly walked toward the table.
In all honestly, she rather not spend her time in these sort of gathering, the only reason she is even here is thanks to her father assuring that the people whom she will be spending her time as the current generation leaders isn't an annoying bugs who'll lick her feet for just a small acknowledgement.
She has enough of it when she was living in the Golden Dragon sect as the princess, so when she is transfered to live at the Infinity Dragon Sect in the Dawn Grand upper realm she quite pleased, thinking
'The place I am going to is even more majestic and powerful than the place I currently am, there shouldn't be any bootlicker in it"
But to her disappointment, there are still plenty of bootlicker even at this place, many men also want to court her which she have absolutely no interest on accepting, it does however increase her head size a bit making her more proud.
.
When she look at the table there are suprisingly two empty seat, but before she sit give a small nod toward her fellow current generation leaders, however this one is less colder because none of them are overly checking her out or they only curiously look at her before also greet her in response, even that sleepy head also greet her albit with lower enthusiasm.
When looking at the two empty chair she was only confused for several seconds before thinking that one person must have not come she was about to pick the head chair, suddenly to her and her fellow leaders surprise, instead of the head chair, a writing of her name instead appear on the chair beside it.
Her usual cold open open in slight suprise, she look toward the low ranking elder who noded at her and gesture to his hand toward the lower chair.
Frowning while sitting at the lower chair, she can't help but wonder who is the head chair is for?
From what her father told her, she should be the highest ranking person when it's come to parent wise, and in fact he said the only person who is also a generation head and is higher ranking than him is a child from a 4th step Celestial Emperor Core elder, but that person is 7.000 thousands years older than her.
The only other generation head that is close to her level is the son of a 10th step Celestial King Core elder. And even that person is 3.500 years older than her.
So she sit in her chair wondering who will be the person above her.
.
While the crowds were confused about why the only child of the 2nd step Celestial Emperor aren't at the highest seat.
The Inner Elder can't help but gulp when he was about to said the last name, after all the name was only told to him couple of hours before the gathering start.
Honestly at first he doesn't believe it, but the fact that the person who inform him is HER disciples blow away all his doubt.
So he gulp and announced
"Please let us all welcome with the highest extreme honor, the esteemed Young Master Lan Xiao, son of 10th step Celestial Emperor, Celestial Empress of Blue Rose, Grand Elder Lan Meigui.
•
When he announce the name at first everyone face were dumbfounded, even Zi Zexian.
And then their eyes widen in in absolute suprise and disbelief.
Even some hidden people who are watching the gathering secretly is suprised and dumbfounded.
But before the peanut gallery could say anything
*Bzzzt*
A powerful lightning suddenly hit the stage.
And from the lightning two people appear,
First is a woman with whiteish Pink hair with red tip, some people among the crowd including the inner elder could recognize her as You Ge, Lan Meigui eldest disciple who is now also a 2nd step Venerable Celestial.
However all eyes soon gather at the young kid that is standing in front of You Ge.
His skin is pearly white but not to pale, his deep blue hair and deep blue eyes is a sight to be seen, he is wearing blue colored robe and wears a calm and confident smile in his face.
.
Although still very young every single people specially people who are secretly watching who have once meet Lan Meigui can say that the kid look like a mini more masculine version of the famed Celestial Empress of Blue Rose, specially those hair and eyes of his.
Lan Xiao have appeared!
