Chapter 2501 - 1450: (Part 2)
When the family members returned, they found that everyone had enhanced their power and gained quite a few good things.
Upon hearing that members of other families had enhanced their power even more and received more good things, they didn’t feel there was anything wrong with having more people; instead, they felt it was equivalent since the others had fewer members but gained more items, while their family had more members.
Feng Qingcheng learned that Su Chang’an’s family was hosting a banquet, and believed it was an opportunity.
This is an opportunity that must be seized.
Thus, preparations began, including clothes and jewelry.
This period of divine tribulation has left her quite haggard, and she needs to take the Beauty Preserving Elixir.
Su Chang’an returned to the family and heard the news; their Elder could ascend to deityhood, which made him very happy.
His family had become the second family of deities.
Even if they cannot rely on others, their family already has a deity.
Among the Ten Great Clans, they used to constantly chase each other, and no single leader emerged, as none would give in.
Their power was more or less the same.
But now, with a family Elder who is a Deity, they’ve distanced themselves from other families.
Su Chang’an returned to the family, dressed up properly, cleaned himself up, and then took on his responsibilities.
Having not returned home for a long time, the family affairs were entrusted to the elders, and upon returning, he resumed his responsibilities.
...
Su Chang’an found that the banquet would be happening in a few days, and the family was already orderly with festive preparations, red lanterns everywhere, and the banquet was almost ready.
He held meetings with some elders and managers.
This banquet must not have any issues.
With a family deity, others might want to benefit from this; although unlikely to cause trouble, precautions must still be taken.
Su Chang’an met privately with the Elder, as the Elder had summoned him upon hearing of his return.
It wasn’t the first time he met the Elder; upon seeing him in person post-divine power, the Elder looked much younger.
In appearance, he looked only in his thirties, almost a peer yet also a generation older.
Su Chang’an felt a sense of pressure from the Elder, a pressure from one of higher status.
It emanated naturally.
Su Chang’an had seen Jiang Tang shortly after becoming a deity.
That kind of pressure.
However, despite the Elder’s formidable presence, he felt Jiang Tang was stronger, in his opinion.
In Su Chang’an’s private meeting with the Elder, others were unsure what they discussed.
Only he knew; he received some cultivation insights and secret techniques from the Elder, possibly along with some preserved Magical Treasures.
As the Family Head and a brother of Jiang Tang, Su Chang’an surely possessed many resources, resources others didn’t have.
Those once coveted by the Elder.
Seeing the gifts from the Elder now, items once cherished for battle, for cultivation—now given away.
This indicates that the Elder no longer needs these to protect himself or fight with.
In his deep exchanges with Su Chang’an, the Elder imparted the essence, fulfilling the role of a divine mentor, a coveted audience by many.
Such a notable figure as Elder Su, even family members rarely get to see him; only the fortunate get such a chance, and today, only Su Chang’an gets this private audience and one-on-one wisdom.
The Shu Ancestor now a Land God—though he holds the divine title, he hasn’t ascended to the heavens, never to return.
Having become a deity, a Land God, naturally desires his descendants to inherit and pass down his superior cultivation abilities.
However, not everyone gets to witness such divine wisdom-sharing or has the chance to partake.
Su Chang’an receives this favor, with their discussions kept private, concerning even Tower Master’s affection cannot be recorded—some matters cannot be shared.
Being favored, he may indeed be selfish, but as the family leader, he carries responsibilities that garner such favor.
Fathers and true grandfathers alike may not be very old but lack the Elder’s cult power.
Su Chang’an felt enlightenment in his conversations with the Elder, every word from Tower Master spilling golden light, each sentence meaningful.
Once those words reached his ears, it brought insight, expertise sharing that enlightened him, even though he had continually enhanced his capabilities; now, he was only in mid-stage Spirit Mansion, but meeting the Elder enlightened him, pushing toward the peak of mid-stage Spirit Mansion.
The Elder was very pleased with Su Chang’an, seeing potential in the younger generation who might soon ascend to deityhood.
At only in his twenties, possessing Spirit Mansion cultivation, proving himself a prodigy; over a thousand years ago, when the Elder was his age, he had only reached Ocean Wheel stage.
Spirit energy was denser back then, and he was already a Heavenly Pride, hadn’t expected a generation would exceed the past; his pride rests even having reached deityhood after over a millennium.
Not succumbing to time, not prevented from ascending, nor rapidly becoming an immortal, witnessing limited life span; if not for rapid advancements in the past two years, waiting would’ve meant demise.
Elder Su’s calm demeanor continued speaking without interruption, as though musing to himself.
Meditating over his life journey from birth to cultivation, mediating through struggles in arduous years while living up to expectations.
He felt fortunate, as countless people never achieving deity status face impending mortality.
During his over thousand years, escorted many descendants to the end.
Including those who perished in battle, those who perished during adventurous missions.
And then those at the end of lifespan without advancing enough skills; he couldn’t help as he faces such risk himself.
Su Chang’an listened to Elder’s words, acknowledging they are Elder’s blessings upon him.
To aid his achievement.
Su Chang’an didn’t lack Jiang Tang’s favor either.
They practiced different cultivation techniques, but favors abounded, mainly assisting from combat power, from skills.
His family’s Elder was unique, as the Elder studied family-specific skills, each possessing secrets and their signature cultivation techniques.
When mentoring disciples or descendants, rarely revealing the strongest skill.
They refused to let enemies uncover weaknesses in their cultivation technique.
Their illustrious existence hides certain secrets, often enabling escape in danger.
Sometimes secrets lie in Magic Artifacts, in utility techniques, or martial prowess.
Sometimes in other skills.
Everyone learns differently, possesses unique talents, and experiences with the same cultivation technique vary.
Receiving Elder’s guidance is a blessing for these young ones.
Su Chang’an’s secret meeting with the Elder, only close family—father, mother, grandfather, grandmother—know the news.
Others unaware, for those seeking to meet Su Chang’an, haven’t gotten the chance.
The banquet approaches, and the main character remains busy as Family Head, ensuring order.
News of Su Chang’an’s return has spread; undeniably, visits from all sectors have arrived.
Many among their base and teams have come to celebrate and hope to meet this Land God.
Su Chang’an, with personal charisma, attracts many families considering alliance.
Such an illustrious individual, backed by powerful support; his support includes two deities now.
Su Chang’an’s value has soared.
Many approach him with intentions.
As a Land God, it’s undeniable many desire association, especially within families, aspiring to select exceptional disciples to follow this deity.
Even arranging daily affairs beside a Land God is incredibly fortuitous.
However, the Elder hasn’t agreed; although having met the gathered family members upon return, the Elder exclusively sees Su Chang’an now.
