Advancement to Rank-8
Translator: 549690339
How could Chen Yang accept Chen De’s courtesy? He quickly moved aside and helped Chen De up at the same time.” Alright, since Grandpa has said so, I’ll agree to it.””
Chen Xuan wanted to say something, but he was suppressed by Chen Yang’s words.” First Elder, if you want to restore First Grandfather’s cultivation resources as soon as possible, then you have to create more benefits for the family.”
“For now, let’s listen to First Grandfather.”
When Chen Xuan saw this, he could only give up.
Everyone surrounded Yang Chen and went to the meeting hall.
After Chen Yang sat down, Chen Xuan took the lead and said,”Patriarch, now that you’ve broken through to the Core Formation realm, 1 suggest that our Chen family announce to the Jiang Prefecture that you’ve advanced to Rank-8.”
“That’s right. It just so happens that we can also hold a Core Formation Banquet for the patriarch.”
“That’s right, Patriarch. Make your decision.”
Faced with the desire of the elders, Chen Yang took a deep breath and immediately said,”Grand Elder, send an invitation to the forces of the Jiangzhou. Tell them that our Chen family is going to hold a banquet to promote to the Eighth Stage.”
“Yes, sir!”
Hearing this, the elders revealed excited expressions.
Rank-8 was undoubtedly an unreachable existence for the Chen family in the past. Now, the Chen Family was about to promote to the 8th Rank!
Invitation cards were sent out from the Chen family. Almost the entire Jiang Prefecture knew that the Chen family was going to advance to the Eighth Stage.
At the same time, the news of Yang Chen breaking through to the Core Formation realm swept across Jiang Prefecture like a gust of wind.
No one was surprised by the news that the Chen family had advanced to the Eighth Stage. With the puppets and Demon Venerable level subdued beasts around, it would be hard for the Chen family not to advance to the Eighth Stage.
Compared to the Chen family’s promotion to Rank-8, the news of Chen Yang breaking through to the Core Formation realm shocked them the most.
A thirty-year-old Core Formation cultivator had probably set a new record in Jiang Prefecture.
Even in the entire history of Da Qian, it was considered the first grade.
From the looks of it, Rank-8 was not the limit of the Chen family.
If this kind of aristocratic family wanted to advance to Rank-8, they naturally had to curry favor with them.
Immediately, all the forces in Jiang Prefecture took action and prepared generous gifts at the same time to attend the Chen family’s promotion banquet.
If an aristocratic family wanted to advance in rank, it would usually be divided into two parts.
The first part was to obtain the approval of the heavens. In other words, the clan’s fate would be connected to the heavens and receive the feedback of the Heavenly Dao. Then, they would be able to bear the clan fate of that grade.
The clan’s fate was extremely mysterious. In terms of quality, there was no obvious difference between an eighth-grade clan’s fate and a ninth-grade clan’s fate.
This was also why the Heavenly Dao Pearl had broken the absorption limit and only allowed the Chen family to have one Core Formation realm cultivator.
After all, at that time, the Heavenly Jewel could be used as an eighth-grade clan luck to absorb energy.
The ones with a clear difference in quality would still have to start from the seventh grade. After the seventh grade, the difference in the quality of the clan’s fate was especially large between each grade.
If the Dao Integration Pearl wanted to break through the upper limit, the Chen family would have to bear the seventh-grade clan fate first.
The second part required the approval of the surrounding forces.
The specific method was to hold a promotion banquet. Those who were willing to attend would have to recognize the class of the aristocratic family.
This wasn’t particularly important. After all, no matter how strong they were, even if the other aristocratic families didn’t agree, they would still be an aristocratic family of whatever rank they were.
Of course, if there were other aristocratic families who acknowledged it, then it would naturally be boundless glory.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
There was still a month before the Chen Family’s Rank-8 Advancement Banquet.
At this moment, there were many carriages on the road to Chen City in Nanyang County.
Because there were simply too many carriages, even the roads were blocked.
“The one in front, move aside. Don’t you recognize the symbol on this chariot? This is the symbol of the Chu Clan, an eighth-rank aristocratic family. Are you courting death by blocking our way?”
When the carriages heard that this was the Chu Clan’s carriage, they hurriedly drove it away to make way for the Chu Clan.
However, not all the carriages gave the Chu Clan face.
Not far ahead, there was still a pair of carriages moving as usual.
When the Chu family saw this, they immediately scolded,”Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me telling you to get lost?”
“Humph! The Chu family is so mighty. 1 want to see who dares to make my Meng family’s convoy make way today!”
A cold shout came from the carriage ahead.
Only then did everyone realize that the convoy in front was not to be trifled with. They were also from the eighth-rank aristocratic family, the Meng family.
Faced with the cold snort of the Meng family, the Chu family said disdainfully,”! was wondering who it was. So it’s the Meng family, a vassal family of the Beast Tamer Sect.”
The Chu Family emphasized the words ” vassal family”,
“What? You can look down on other families just because you have the Beast Tamer Sect backing you? Let me tell you, we’re going to the Chen family’s promotion banquet.”
“If we delay our journey because of you, when the Chen family blames us, the Beast Tamer Sect won’t be able to protect your Meng family!”
Seeing this, everyone’s gazes gathered on the Meng family.
The Chen family was like the sun in the sky. If the Chen family blamed them, the Meng family would really not feel good.
“Who doesn’t attend the Chen family’s promotion banquet? Since he was already here, he would leave obediently!”
The Meng Clan was also attending the Chen Clan’s promotion banquet, so they naturally weren’t afraid of the Chu Clan’s excuse.
When the people of the Chu Clan heard this, their words froze. Finally, an old man understood the quarrel.” Since we’re all going to the Chen Clan’s promotion banquet, let’s go together.””
Someone recognized the voice. It was the voice of the Chu Clan’s First Elder.
Since the Chu family had eased up first, the Meng family naturally accepted their goodwill.” Since that’s the case, let’s go together. Don’t delay the Chen family’s promotion banquet.”
“This is a grand occasion for our Jiang Prefecture.”
“It’s the voice of the Meng family’s grand elder. The Meng family’s grand elder is here too. It seems that everyone values the Chen family very much.”
“Aren’t you talking nonsense? Now, all the forces in Jiang Prefecture, even the Beast Tamer Sect, need to pay attention to the Chen family.”
“Alright, alright, let’s hurry up and hurry.”
In Chen City, many aristocratic families had already arrived. These aristocratic families were basically ninth rank aristocratic families.
After all, the lower the rank of the aristocratic family, the earlier they had to come to participate in this promotion banquet.
As for Rank-8 aristocratic families, they only needed to arrive io days in advance.
If a seventh-rank force attended the Chen family’s promotion banquet, they would not say anything when they arrived.
This was the rule among the aristocratic families of the Great Gan.
There was still some time before the promotion banquet. These people from the aristocratic families naturally had to take a good look around Chen City.
I don’t know if I don’t shop, but I’m scared.
Good heavens, is this where the people of Chen City live?
This was simply not a place for humans to stay. This was a paradise!
Take a look, a demonic beast zoo, treating demonic beasts as pets for ordinary people to visit. There was probably no such thing in the capital.
Not to mention the tavern here. The cup made the disciples of the ninth-rank aristocratic families feel like they were from a seventh-rank force.
There was also the drama theater. Not only did it have a variety of plays, but every play also had a point of laughter and tears.
Especially the play” The People of Chen City”, which told the touching story of Chen Cheng’s encounter with the demon tide and flood.
Just this play alone was enough to make him cry.
Moreover, Chen Cheng actually had a sewer, a divine artifact that could discharge sewage!
Living in Chen City must be a very enjoyable thing.
This was the first experience of countless disciples of aristocratic families living in Chen City.
When the elders of the aristocratic families saw that their children had already fallen, they wished they could become generals of the Chen family just to stay in Chen City.
These elders had no choice. Even the experienced and knowledgeable people were reluctant to leave Chen City, let alone the young people. They wanted to live in Chen City forever.
Moreover, according to Chen Cheng’s Chen Bao, the Chen family’s leisure villa in the Endless Mountains was almost completed.
This was a place specially used by the Chen family to entertain experts. It was probably a more livable immortal land than Chen City.
I really want to go there and take a look…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Today was the day of the Chen family’s promotion banquet.
On this day, all the heads of the aristocratic families in Jiang Prefecture brought their gifts and rushed into the Chen family.
Due to the large number of people who came, the Chen Family could only leave five spots for each ninth-rank aristocratic family and twenty spots for the eighth-rank aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families didn’t feel that it was inappropriate. Instead, they felt that the Chen family was very generous.
In the past, when they went to the Beast Tamer Sect, Rank-8s only allowed ten people to enter, while Rank-9s only allowed two!
With this comparison, the difference was obvious..
