Huang Shen and Chen Fang reached the patriarch's pavilion. Inside the patriarch's pavilion, a middle aged man and woman could be seen. The man had ink like black hair and ocean like blue eyes and had a serious look in his face. On the other hand the middle aged woman had light green hair and beautiful hazel eyes with a soft and loving expression
These were Huang Shen's father and mother. In his previous life Huang Shen was an orphan so he missed parental love and affection. But in his new life he got two loving parents something he very much appreciated.
His mother was very loving and always cared for him. She even brought new things and spoiled him . His father on the other hand was very strict . Even though he was very strict he loved Huang Shen very much . But Huang Shen knew the reason his father was so strict was to prevent Huang Shen from becoming one of those spoiled young master.
Perhaps his father was the reason that Huang Shen wasn't an arrogant slikpant in the novel despite having a good background and great talent. Overall Huang Shen loved his family very much and would do anything to make them happy.
After Huang Shen entered the pavilion his father spoke in a strict tone, " Shen'er why were you staying so long in that Heavenly Jade Pavilion ? I had told you to come to my pavilion as soon as your class ends"
His mother then spoke," Shen'er is just a little boy. He must be too excited for his bloodline awakening ceremony. And from tomorrow he will start his cultivation too. You shouldn't be too strict on him "
His father coughed due to his wife reprimanding him. He regained his composure and spoke " Alright. Its already noon when the yang energy is at its peak . So Shen'er must take a herbal bath so he can maximize the benefits. Chen Fang prepare the herbal bath for Shen'er "
" Of Course , Patriarch" Chen Fang spoke and went to prepare a herbal bath.
His father again spoke , " Shen'er tomorrow is the bloodline awakening ceremony. Every one has their hope on you. I know you will awaken the 7th origin phoenix bloodline . And if you awaken the bloodline you must not be arrogant . But even if you fail to awaken the 7th origin phoenix bloodline your father and mother will still support you"
Huang Shen nodded. Huang Shen knew that his father was present at the time of his birth and his father also felt the bloodline pressure. His father knew that Huang Shen would definitely awaken the 7th origin phoenix bloodline or even the legendary 8th origin phoenix bloodline that their ancestor had . His father only said those words to make sure Huang Shen wouldn't be arrogant.
After some chatting with his mother and father Huang Shen went to take the medicinal bath. On the open courtyard a huge pot full of a green liquid with various medicinal ingredients was there . Huang Shen then took a dip in the pot. Huang Shen felt relaxed as if every burden on his body was gone. On top of Huang Shen the sun was shining brightly making the temperature hot.
This medicinal bath also called the foundational bath was a luxury only few could afford. The wealthy clans would prepare this bath for their children who had not cultivated yet. This bath contained many medicinal herbs and liquid that could strengthen a body of a child and make their cultivation process smoother.
The first realm of cultivation was Body Refining Realm and the medicinal bath helped in making the child's body stronger and improve the foundation. It was also done at the time of noon when yang energy is the greatest as yang energy improves the body
After taking the medicinal bath Huang Shen spent the rest of the day with his mother and went to sleep.
The next day , Huang Shen woke up early. His maids took him to bath and prepared luxurious clothes for him. The preparation for the bloodline awakening ceremony was grand. After all this was the awakening ceremony of the youngsters of Huang Clan one of the 4 great clans of Li Empire.
Due to this many guests were also coming from various forces.
There were guests from various 1st and 2nd grade forces. Slowly all the guest came and the Huang Clan had spared no effort welcoming those guests. The patriarch and the elders were also there. But the shocking thing was the supreme elders who were always in seclusion were also there.
The supreme elders of Huang Clan were at the 8th integration of Great Emperor realm and seeing such powerhouse in a bloodline awakening ceremony caused a great commotion among the guests.
For a force to be recognized as a 1st grade force it needed to have one person at the Great Emperor Realm. But in Great Emperor realm there are 10 sub realms starting from the base stage to 8th integration and finally harmony stage or Pseudo Supreme Emperor Realm.
And on top of that the gap between each subrealm is great . For example at a normal battle without any external support, a 1st integration Great Emperor could defeat 100 Base stage Great Emperor. So the strength of 1st grade forces is varied. A force having a 8th integration can be called a peak 1st grade force and a force having Pseudo Supreme Emperor Realm can be called Pseudo Sacred Grade Force .
The 4 great families have one ancestor at Pseudo Supreme Emperor Realm so they were called Pseudo Supreme Grade Forces.
Later the people from Chu clan, Zhou Clan and Xiao Clan came with a great entrance. After that people from Li Imperial Clan and the Divine Phoenix Clan also came. 2 sacred grade forces had come in this ceremony. Li Imperial Clan along with the 4 great clans managed and protected the Li Empire. For the sake of maintaining good relationship between them the Li Imperial Clan sent its representatives in each of these clans bloodline awakening ceremony.
For the Divine phoenix clan it can be said that Huang Clan and Divine phoenix clan has a blood bond. As a divine beast clan the divine phoenix bloodline has many bloodlines as their derivations. But among those derived bloodline the 7th origin bloodline of Huang Clan is the most powerful derived bloodline and the most closest to the Divine Phoenix Bloodline. So they come in every bloodline awakening ceremony of the Huang Clan.
For Huang clan to have 2 sacred grade forces to come in their bloodline awakening ceremony it can be said among the 4 great clans , Huang Clan is the most influential.
