The Dongyan clan's ancestral hall is the top priority of the Dongyan clan. This is the place where the ancestors of the Dongyan clan are worshiped. The Dongyan clan has existed for thousands of years, but the number of clan members is really limited. Who can call every powerful person?
The life of a warrior is extremely long, and ten thousand years is really nothing.
There are many people with the surname Dongyan in the Dongyan tribe, but there are only three branches that truly belong to the Dongyan family. They are all direct bloodlines of the Dongyan ancestor. After ten thousand years of development, two of them have become very powerful.
.But the branch where Xiao Zhan belongs has a sparse population. Counting from the ancestors, the total number of members is less than a thousand.
The number of one thousand is really not that much. Although it lasts for ten thousand years, every clan member has an extremely long lifespan. As long as there is no illness or disaster, they can live for tens of thousands of years, and only a thousand people will survive.
Of course, the Dongyan tribe is such a large one. As the direct descendants of the Dongyan clan, the dangers they face are unimaginable. It is impossible for them to avoid diseases and disasters. Nowadays, it is not easy for the surviving tribesmen of Xiao Zhan's lineage to gather two hundred people.
things.
The Elders Council is a gathering place for a group of powerful warriors from the Dongyan tribe. As long as their cultivation reaches the Zhaiwu realm, tribe members can become outer elders. And when they reach the holy realm, even those who do not have the blood of the Dongyan clan can become inner hall members.
Elders. Nowadays, there are more than a thousand elders in the entire presbytery, and basically everyone’s cultivation has reached the holy realm.
Of course, since we are talking about basics, it means that there are still people whose cultivation has not reached the holy realm, but they are still the elders of the inner hall. Such people only account for a small part, less than a hundred people, and they are all direct descendants of the Dongyan clan
The best in the bloodline, the person who is known as a genius, the lowest level of cultivation has reached the realm of Zhaiwu.
The number of people in Xiao Zhan's lineage is sparse, less than two hundred, so the number of people who have entered the Presbyterian Church is naturally even less, barely more than a hundred. With less than two hundred people, more than a hundred people have entered the Presbyterian Church. Xiao Zhan's lineage has
One can imagine the talent of Mei. They are the clan with the most heads of the Dongyan clan in the past ten thousand years.
It is not a strange thing that Xiao Zhan's grandfather can be supported by more than half of the people. These people are basically cultivated by each generation of patriarchs. When the patriarch abdicates, these people have now entered the Presbyterian Church and become
An inner hall elder, Xiao Zhan was able to get one-third of the support from this group of people, while the other part supported Dongyan Sheng, another genius from this lineage.
Xiao Zhan came to Dongling City and no one paid attention to him for seven days. It was all because these people had internal differences and could not reach a consensus. The clan leader was extremely talented, and it only took him less than two thousand years to cultivate.
He has reached the pinnacle of the Holy Martial Arts. If he were here, these people would support him without hesitation. However, since there has been no clan leader for ten years, these people naturally have to worry about the candidate for the next clan leader.
The presence of a thousand inner hall elders means that the Dongyan tribe has more than a thousand holy warriors. It is these people who make the Dongyan tribe one of the four major tribes in the wilderness.
The ancestral hall is a place where the ancestors of the Dongyan clan are worshiped. There is a statue in the ancestral hall, which is said to be the real founder of the Dongyan clan. No one knows who he is, but they only know that it was carved by the ancestor himself.
The high priest is in charge of the ancestral hall, and he is responsible for all rituals. He is very prestigious in the Dongyan tribe and is second only to the clan leader. As the high priest, Dongyan Wu does not need to come forward to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.
Yes, but this time he appeared uncharacteristically, and his purpose seemed obvious.
Today is a special day. Recognition of ancestors and return to the clan rarely happens in the entire Dongyan clan. Generally, only blood inheritors with extraordinary talents who are living abroad will receive this honor. Even if other people have the blood of the Dongyan clan, at most
It's just a matter of proving his true identity, and there won't be any fanfare. The last time he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan was Dongyan Sheng. The reason why Xiao Zhan's support rate is so low now is because this guy divided a group of elders who originally supported the clan leader.
Dong Yanyou is the person responsible for testing the bloodline talents of the tribe, but this time it is the high priest who presides over Xiao Zhan's recognition of his ancestors. He stands next to the statue enshrined in the ancestral hall. He is not the one presiding over this time of recognition of his ancestors and his return to the clan.
, the whole person's face was expressionless, like a statue.
Many elders in the ancestral hall have already arrived, and they seem a little listless. Obviously they don't take it seriously, but as the elders of the inner hall, they have to attend. Dong Yanzhen is the leader of one of the three direct bloodlines of the Dongyan clan, unlike Xiao
There are only a few people in Zhan's lineage, and the population of their lineage has exceeded 10,000. In the past ten years, as the clan leader has gone into seclusion, the strength of Dongyanzhen's lineage has greatly increased, the population has surged, and there is a hidden tendency to suppress the other two lines.
Dong Yanzhen glanced at the elders, and suddenly broke the silence and said: "I heard that Dong Yanxiu said that the boy who will recognize his ancestors today is a peerless genius, even better than Dong Yansheng. I don't think this is true at all.
Most likely, you have to know that Dong Yansheng is only eighteen years old this year, but his cultivation has already reached the profound realm. This kind of talent is definitely the first in our Dongyan clan, even the patriarch of the year is slightly behind. Dong Yanxiu said that this kid
His talent is better than that of Dong Yansheng, I absolutely don’t believe it.”
Dong Yanqing was born very tall and tall. In terms of seniority, he was the brother of Grandpa Dong Yanxiu. When someone questioned him, he couldn't help but sneered: "That boy Dongyan Sheng doesn't look like the blood of our Dongyan family at first glance. It's really not true."
I know how this kid passed the test in the first place. Hehehehe! So what if he has outstanding talent? He is just an outsider. If he wants to inherit the position of patriarch, I will be the first to refuse. Huh! As for Xiuer, I still believe it. Since he said
If that kid’s talent is even better, then he’s really better.”
"Dong Yanqing! What do you mean? Since Dong Yan Sheng passed the blood test, he is the heir to the clan leader of our Dong Yan tribe. Do you think someone cheated?" An old man stood up angrily and glared at Dong Yan Qing.
Dong Yanqing sneered: "Dong Yanyou was originally responsible for this kind of thing, but the high priest suddenly intervened, which makes people suspicious. Now there are rumors that Dong Yansheng is actually his illegitimate son. It's groundless. No matter what the high priest said, it's true.
We are of the Dongyan family, how can this boy be the illegitimate son of the high priest?"
"you!"
The old man was furious, pointed angrily at Dong Yanqing, and shouted: "You are spitting blood! Dongyan Sheng is the second son's flesh and blood, how could he be someone else's illegitimate son? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
Dong Yanqing sneered and said: "Falling out? We have already fallen out. Who are you trying to scare?"
The old man laughed angrily and said: "Hey! If Dongyan Sheng is not the flesh and blood of the second young master, then this Dongyan Zhan is the flesh and blood of the eldest young master. The eldest young master left the tribe early and has not been heard from since. Who knows if this boy is
Counterfeit."
Dong Yanqing sneered and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I heard that this boy looks very much like that little brat Dong Yanyi. You can recognize them at a glance. It's better than some people whose faces are too different."
.”
The old man was angry and angry, and a terrifying aura surged in his body. He turned out to be a high-ranking holy warrior, with strange flames flashing in his eyes, and he seemed to want to fight over a disagreement.
Dong Yanqing had a sneer on his face, looking at the old man with disdain, his eyes full of provocation.
"cough!"
Suddenly, a slight cough interrupted the tense situation between the two people. A young man said calmly: "You two are quite old, can you calm down for a while?"
The old man said angrily: "Great Elder, this bastard is making random accusations. He must give an explanation."
Dong Yanqing said disdainfully: "A frame-up? How can you be sure that I framed a frame-up? I think it's because you, an old boy, are blind. You actually went to support a fake. Hey! You want to betroth one of your descendants to him shamelessly?"
That kid, I feel ashamed for you."
"you!"
The old man was furious and wanted to curse loudly. The elder's face suddenly darkened, and a terrifying aura erupted. Everyone in the entire ancestral hall shuddered, and the two people who were at war with each other suddenly became honest.
The great elder said angrily: "You are two bastards. If I don't give you some color, it won't be over." At this point, a smile appeared on his face and said: "The little guy is here, what's the result?
You will know soon."
Suddenly everyone looked towards the entrance of the palace.
Xiao Zhan followed Dong Yanxiu and Dong Yanrou. He did not bring his two female guards with him. In such a place surrounded by holy warriors, the two women could not play any role at all. Before he stepped into the palace gate, Xiao
Zhan felt countless eyes gathering at him, and an invisible pressure instantly fell on him.
In an instant, Xiao Zhan sensed the auras of hundreds of holy warriors, and he immediately had the most intuitive feeling about the Dongyan tribe's heritage, which gave him an urgent desire to control the Dongyan tribe.
The aura of hundreds of holy warriors is indeed terrifying. Even if it were a holy warrior who appeared here, he would be shocked and collapse to the ground. But who is Xiao Zhan? Although this pressure is very strong for him now, but
His swordsmanship has reached the peak of the Emperor Realm. The greater the pressure, the greater the resistance.
When all the pressure came, the nine sword spirits in Xiao Zhan's brain vibrated, and he instantly formed a nine-character sword formation. A domineering sword spirit burst out of his body. In an instant, it was like an emperor in the sword was resurrected.
Now. This is the realm of swordsmanship. The Emperor's Sword Intent can fight against an artistic conception that is a level higher than his own. Now that Xiao Zhan's cultivation has reached a level comparable to that of Zhaiwu, then his Emperor's Sword Intent is infinitely close to that of Shengwu.
There are levels of spiritual competition.
Of course, if Xiao Zhan turns on the increase, then his sword realm will directly break into the sword realm. He has absolute confidence to withstand the oppression brought by all the holy weapons in the palace. However, Xiao Zhan did not do this
, the realm of sword realm, although it is not the realm of sword god, but it is too evil for him to use it now. There is no need to do so until the critical moment.
"Such a strong sword intention. The artistic conception of being alone in the world is so strong. Even in the face of the oppression of the Holy Martial Arts, it refuses to yield at all. This sword intention alone is better than most of the Holy Martial Arts. It is really hard to imagine.
This boy's cultivation is the ultimate Xuanwu Realm sister." The elder spoke first, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Dong Yanqing suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Zhan. He smiled excitedly and said, "Little guy, you are Dong Yanzhan."
Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "That's junior. I wonder what I call senior?"
"You are Dong Yanyi's son, so you should be called Grandpa Zeng."
Dong Yanqing was very excited, staring at Xiao Zhan and nodding continuously: "I heard this guy Dong Yanxiu say that you are only sixteen years old, tsk tsk tsk! This cultivation level is probably a hundred times the level of Ultimate Xuanwu, that's great!
Coupled with the previous cultivation level in the realm of swordsmanship, I am afraid that no one can be your opponent at this stage of Xuanwu. This is the real genius. That kid Dongyan Sheng is nothing. He is already eighteen now and has just entered.
It’s just Xuanwu, it’s simply a piece of waste.”
Xiao Zhan said humbly: "Grandpa Zeng is so complimentary. Grandson Zeng's cultivation level is nothing at all."
"Hahaha! Look what a real genius is. That kid Dong Yansheng shows off his mediocre cultivation everywhere, as if he is afraid that no one will know that he is a genius. Damn! Even that kid deserves to be called a genius.
There is no one who wants to be the next clan leader. To be the clan leader, you need a peerless genius like my great-grandson." Dong Yanqing kept patting Xiao Han's shoulders with his big hand, looking very satisfied.
Dong Yanzhen said thoughtfully: "Being a clan leader is not an easy task. No matter how talented this kid is, he must first prove that the blood of our Dongyan clan is flowing in his body. Hehehehe!
Otherwise, the death penalty awaits him!"
Dong Yanqing snorted coldly: "My great-grandson looks even more similar to that boy Dong Yanyi. Who dares to say that he doesn't have the blood of the Dongyan family? Maybe you old guy is jealous."
Dong Yanzhen snorted coldly; "I will be jealous. To become a clan leader, you don't have to be talented. Now we have more than ten heirs of the Dongyan clan. Even if this kid has the blood of the Dongyan clan, he is at most one
He is just a candidate for heir. Whoever the next patriarch will see is still in cultivation, not age. Hehehehe! My family Quan'er is now a Zhaiwu in the third heaven. It won't be long before he will be promoted to the fourth heaven. With such strength
He is the best successor to the Dongyan clan’s next clan leader.”
"snort!"
Suddenly a cold snort interrupted Dong Yan's boasting, and soon the entire hall seemed to have a volcano erupting suddenly. The terrifying heat wave rolled in, making even someone as powerful as a holy warrior feel like he was being dried out.
"That boy Dong Yanquan has good cultivation, but my great-great-grandson Dong Yanhu is even better. Not long ago, he successfully advanced to the fourth level of Zhaiwu. He must be the next clan leader.
"
With a sneer, a burly man in a fiery red robe stepped in, and his violent and fiery aura made everyone change their color.
Xiao Zhan was not far from the door. He was naturally the first to bear the brunt of this terrifying heat wave, but his expression did not change at all. The fire orifice in his body opened, and the majestic heat rushed into his body desperately, making his body
His body immediately became hot, and within a few breaths his whole body turned red.
Dong Yanqing's expression suddenly changed, and he released the power of the world to protect Xiao Zhan and the other three. Then he glared fiercely at the burly man and said: "Dong Yanhuo, didn't you see that this junior is here? Are you doing this on purpose?
?”
Dong Yanhuo chuckled and said, "I really didn't see it. I hope I didn't hurt these three little guys, otherwise I will have a bad reputation of bullying the younger ones."
As he spoke, this guy stared at Xiao Zhan with a playful look on his face. It was obvious that he did it on purpose just now.
Dong Yanqing's eyes flashed with raging anger. Dong Yanhuo was simply telling lies. How could a high-ranking holy warrior fail to see the existence of a Xuanwu. With a cold snort, Dong Yanqing hurriedly checked Xiao Zhan's situation.
, now he completely regards this boy as his grandson.
Xiao Zhan exhaled with a relieved expression. The majestic hot air was of very high quality. It was obvious that Dongyan Huo had practiced some unique fire-based skills, allowing it to swallow up a lot of terrifying flames. All of these were
It gave him an advantage. Xiao Zhan clearly sensed that the quality of the flames in his "Fire Orifice" had improved to a higher level, and it was no longer a problem for him to refine the artifact now.
Xiao Zhan bowed to Dongyan Huo and said: "Thank you senior for your help. The flame just now was a great tonic for the junior. Just by absorbing the flame breath, the cultivation level has been greatly improved. It's really
Thank you so much!”
As he spoke, a large stream of flames erupted from Xiao Zhan's body, covering his whole body. The blazing high temperature made Dong Yanhuo's eyelids twitch. He immediately realized that this flame could definitely melt ordinary artifacts, which made him smile.
twitch.
"Hahaha! Well done, boy. Such fire-based skills are really rare. Just the cultivation of Xuanwu is much stronger than the power condensed by those Zhaiwu. Dongyanhuo, you are really kind. I
Dong Yanqing will take this boy’s father to thank you for your kindness.” Dong Yanqing grinned, and his words were full of gloating.
Shooting himself in the foot, Dong Yanhuo was depressed. How could he show Dong Yanqing a good look? He snorted coldly and walked away.
Dong Yanqing was very satisfied with Xiao Zhan's performance and took him with him. The expression on his face was so happy that he felt so happy.
The First Elder took a deep look at Xiao Zhan, then looked around at everyone and said, "Today is the day when Dong Yanzhan recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan. Naturally, calling everyone here is to testify whether this kid has the qualifications to become the heir to the clan leader."
At this point, he looked at Dong Yanyou who was standing next to the statue of Jingli and said: "Now we welcome the arrival of the high priest, who will preside over this reunion of ancestors."
Dong Yanyou nodded expressionlessly, and soon he disappeared into the hall.
The high priest did not keep everyone waiting for long. Not long after Dong Yanyou left, he led the crowd to appear. As a high priest, he was very grand. Behind him were more than a dozen priests who were in the upper holy martial realm.
That power completely overwhelmed the hundreds of elders present.
The moment he saw the high priest, Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, and the "Eye of Truth" quietly operated, and suddenly his expression became strange. At first glance, the high priest gave people the impression that he really had the blood of the Zhan clan in his body, but in
Xiao Zhan's "Eye of Truth" looked a little weird.
Xiao Zhan felt that the high priest's War Clan bloodline was very strange, and he felt that he was not this guy.
