Chapter 2506 - 1453
Beside Jiang Tang were his spirit companions, Eryao and Green Ox, sitting in the position designated for distinguished guests.
During the reception for honored guests.
It was specifically arranged by the Su Family Ancestor, with capabilities that benefited other great power holders as well.
Eryao and Green Ox had already received this divine light multiple times, finding it rather ordinary because they were bonded to their master.
As their master ascended to godhood and increased his divine capabilities, they too benefited from the elevation in their master’s abilities.
As their master’s spiritual pet, being bathed in divine light was quite a routine matter for them, so they remained calm.
The more advanced divine sense of Jiang Tang noticed the abilities of the Su Family Ancestor; the abilities of the second deity were also quite commendable.
Among so many ancestors, Elder Su was arguably a bit luckier, with slightly more opportunities than others.
Perhaps this person’s blessing had already culminated in godhood, further prospering the family.
With Su Chang’an’s family having an ancestor who became a god, they could have access to better and more abundant resources, making Jiang Tang happy for Su Chang’an.
After all, this brother might see his family’s strength in the Cultivation World rise higher due to having an ancestral god.
Jiang Tang, as a brother, certainly offered his blessings, and though he and Su Chang’an were brothers, he had given numerous resources, yet because he had so many people by his side, the resource distribution was substantial.
Among so many around, although favoritism existed towards certain people, ultimately, he provided a lot.
Although Su Chang’an’s family had become part of his Saint Sect, receiving numerous gifts, they were slightly favored.
They still had to stand on their own.
Jiang Tang blessed them, offering a generous gift this time.
A newly ascended immortal ancestor actually needs some pills, particularly the Immortal Pill.
After all, the Su Family’s ancestor had not yet refined an Immortal Pill, so it could only be obtained from him.
The resources Jiang Tang offered were gifts and not something everyone could obtain.
Jiang Tang could refine Immortal Pills; this was common knowledge, but so what?
Not everyone could be given one.
Jiang Tang was not favored, and being without a gift meant even relatives could not request one.
His wives naturally received benefits, and those training within the magical treasures would also have the luck to receive one.
Taking an Immortal Pill before ascending to godhood merely enhances physical capabilities without much effect; it is only one grade above top-tier pills. However, in becoming a god, consuming a Shuo Shen Pill could turn one into a true deity.
The crucial pill for becoming a god was gifted by Jiang Tang to those becoming gods, but the recipient had to already be a great power holder and have completed some tasks to qualify.
Su Chang’an actually already had such a pill and did not need him to gift it because Jiang Tang, upon knowing the moment when the Su Family Ancestor became a god, had already prepared the pill.
Jiang Tang merely tasked his avatar to refine the pill, casually, generous at times, and excessively biased at others, and not even those who became people of the Saint Sect were guaranteed an Immortal Pill.
As for outsiders who wanted to obtain Immortal Pills?
They could not purchase even one by squandering their entire fortune.
Even purchasing top-tier pills was challenging; the Saint Sect would both sell and auction them.
Those without connections could not buy them and needed the assets to purchase them.
This time, the Ascension Banquet was conducted smoothly.
However, matters such as matches depend on individuals.
Huang Lei received this news, and as someone from the Cultivation World, he knew there was a chance to increase one’s academic qualifications, with people from their family and the emperor’s family in the royal palace all desiring an invitation to the banquet.
Not having received an invitation, they hoped to have a chance to follow those who did have invitations into the banquet.
Huang Lei employed many means and discovered that many of the Ten Great Clans and some families had already pledged allegiance to the Saint Sect, qualifying them to enter this banquet.
He found that the emperor had no opportunity, but if the emperor had a chance, he could attend the banquet by following the emperor or the prime minister.
Recently, friction arose between teams in the court.
The faction supporting the prime minister found themselves facing considerable difficulty due to two other clans targeting them together.
Being of a slightly higher position, the disadvantage suffered was not as severe, but more of the prime minister’s key supporters suffered greater losses or had no official positions.
Huang Lei, as the son-in-law of the prime minister, could not enter the heart of the court and was not heavily utilized.
He wanted a chance to join the other two teams, hoping to obtain the opportunity for omnipotent power from their hands, but others had long since seen through it.
Trying to learn skills from among their people, even stealing skills was difficult.
Huang Lei wanted an opportunity to attend the Ascension Banquet this time, but apart from the prime minister, none of their family members or the emperor’s family were invited, while all major clans in the Capital were.
The prime minister’s family felt embarrassed and thought it was time for them to do something.
They felt those who disgraced them should be punished.
On realizing the emperor lacked this qualification, the prime minister planned to team up with the emperor and their people to counter these families.
Of course, their aim was to trouble the people of the other two clans, as they dared not touch anyone from the power center of the Top Ten Clans.
Forget about the gods; any elite from a godly family or one of the Ten Great Clans could easily destroy their family.
They simply did not care about imperial power. Hosting this banquet without inviting the emperor’s people already showed that the emperor’s lineage was utterly disregarded.
