Chapter 1591: The Excited Acting Patriarch of the Luo Family
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1591章 兴奋的洛家代家主
"Th-this..."
His body swayed, and Wu Chen almost burst into tears.
He had just said that by the time this guy learned it, the黄花菜 would be cold, and in the blink of an eye, he had displayed the power to seal the space sand...
Does he have to be this fast?
He felt his face burning; if there were a crack in the ground, he would have crawled right in.
He was a master among masters, yet in less than half a day of contact with this Zhang Shi, he had been slapped in the face three or four times, each time left dizzy and disoriented. He had thought that if this person was astonishing in one aspect, he must be weak in another, but who knew... this guy was strong in every way!
It was as if he had no flaws or weaknesses at all!
Having been questioned several times in a row... if word got back, he wouldn't have the face to see anyone!
But... how did this guy manage it?
Having only read one book, an introduction to the basics of space, could he comprehend the true solution to sealing space?
Could it be that great skill is truly simple, and all the mysteries lie in this introductory book?
It seemed that from now on, he should also study this book carefully; perhaps he could gain some insights and take his strength a step further!
"The space sand has been fixed; we can go..."
Unaware of his thoughts, Zhang Xuan casually tossed the book in his hand over and said indifferently.
"Mm."
Luo Ruoxi smiled softly, her delicate body moved, and she flew straight ahead. This time, sure enough, she saw the palace getting closer.
Wu Chen fumbled to catch the book. Previously, if this book had been thrown at his feet, he wouldn't have given it a second glance, but now he was afraid it would melt in his mouth or break if held in his hands, terrified of damaging this peerless secret manual and hindering a deeper understanding of space.
...
The Luo Family.
Two ordinary disciples walked toward the ancestral hall.
Here stood the statue of the ancestor Luo Tianyun and the spirit tablets of countless predecessors.
Today it was their turn to be on duty, cleaning the house, lighting incense, and performing various routine sacrificial rites.
"Today was a huge disgrace! It will be hard for the Luo Family to turn things around from now on..."
The disciple on the left, dressed in blue, shook his head as he walked, looking dejected.
"Yes, since its founding, when has our Luo Family ever suffered such humiliation!" The one on the right, in plain clothes, clenched his fists.
"The clan leader was jilted and slapped in the face publicly, and she doesn't even care. What can we do?" the blue-clad disciple sighed.
"She's not the clan leader yet! The succession ceremony hasn't been held, has it?" the plain-clothed youth snorted.
"It hasn't been held because of the marriage alliance! If not for that, with her bloodline and control of the Stillness Pearl... what else would she be but the clan leader?" said the blue-clad disciple.
"After such a big loss of face this time, I don't want her to be the clan leader..." the plain-clothed youth shook his head.
"What use is not wanting? You know the clan's rules: if one's bloodline reaches a certain level, one can become clan leader... if that's not possible, comprehending the ancestor's Space True Solution left behind will also do! Now, only her bloodline meets the conditions... and the ancestor's Space True Solution has not been fully comprehended by anyone in tens of thousands of years... Who else could it be?"
The blue-clad disciple shook his head: "We can't change the family rules just because of this incident!"
"The family rules can't be changed... but our Luo Family doesn't have to suffer this humiliation..."
Waving his fist, the plain-clothed youth was about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake. He raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
"It's the ancestral hall! Let's go check!"
Sensing that the force causing the ground to tremble was emanating from the building ahead, the blue-clad disciple's face changed, and he rushed forward, with the plain-clothed youth close behind.
As soon as they entered the room, the two couldn't help but freeze in place.
The statue of the ancestor, which had always stood motionless, had somehow turned around, looking into the distance with a smile on its face, its hands involuntarily clasped together in a gesture of equal courtesy.
The many spirit tablets of the ancestors behind the statue also seemed to have encountered something awe-inspiring, each lying flat on the ground, trembling, not daring to rise.
The two large characters "Stillness" and "Void" left by the ancestor on the wall were shaking incessantly, as if about to break through the wall at any moment.
The tremor they had felt earlier was precisely caused by this.
"Could it be... the ancestor has come to life?"
The blue-clad disciple's face went blank.
"The ancestor passed away who knows how many years ago; how could he come back to life!"
The plain-clothed youth appeared more composed, but he too couldn't figure out what was happening, completely baffled: "I don't understand either, but something major must have happened. Quickly inform the acting patriarch and the great elder! We don't know, but they surely will!"
"Okay!"
Not daring to delay, the blue-clad disciple quickly took out a communication jade slip and transmitted the scene before him. Before long, the sound of wind whistling through the air was heard, and the acting patriarch, Great Elder Luo Qingchen, Luo Xuanqing, and others flew over hastily.
The Zhang family had left after breaking off the engagement, leaving the clan members in embarrassment. They had just finished dealing with that and hadn't had time to rest when they received the message that something had happened in the ancestral hall. No one dared to delay.
Otherwise, it would be a grave disrespect.
"What's wrong?"
While still in the air, before landing, Luo Qianzhen, the acting patriarch and father of Luo Qiqi, asked.
"This... Acting Patriarch, please come in and see..."
Not knowing how to explain, the plain-clothed youth quickly cupped his hands.
"Mm."
His body shifted, Luo Qianzhen landed on the ground, strode into the ancestral hall, glanced around, couldn't help but freeze, then was filled with excitement, his face flushed with joy: "Th-this..."
"Father, what is this?" Seeing his expression, Luo Xuanqing frowned, utterly confused, and the other elders were also bewildered.
This acting patriarch was always steady; even when the Zhang family made such a big scene earlier, he hadn't shown such an expression. What was wrong with him, to be so out of sorts?
"Haha... Heaven helps our Luo Family, allowing us to rise again!"
Without answering his son's question, Luo Qianzhen let out a loud laugh. Only after finishing did he turn around, his eyes shining: "Are you curious about what's happening? This is the ancestors stirring, the forebears bowing! Without a doubt, someone has comprehended the true solution to sealing space!"
"Comprehended the sealing true solution? Could it be..." Luo Qingchen's face changed.
"Correct. The sealing true solution is the core cultivation technique of our Luo Family. If someone masters it, they can better control the family's power and perfectly execute the martial arts passed down through the clan! In the tens of thousands of years since the Luo Family was founded, only the ancestor succeeded in comprehending it. Now that someone has done it, it means our Luo Family's resurgence is just around the corner!"
Luo Qianzhen's eyes grew brighter, and he quickly turned to give orders: "Go and investigate immediately—find out which elder or disciple has comprehended this true solution. Once found, hold the succession ceremony at once and establish them as the family head!"
