Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law
Chapter 441 - 439: Qin Qingqing of the Celestial Wolf Race Receives the Highest Gift?! What Did the Seniors of the Demon Realm See in Her?
The Demon Race acts with evident swiftness.
Without wasting much time, they directly commenced the ceremony to communicate with the upper realm Demon Race ancestors during the morning.
This ceremony took about half an hour.
At this moment, a Demon Race priest was holding a sacred artifact seemingly passed down from ten thousand years ago.
Using the Demon Saint Stele to establish a connection with the upper realm.
Finally...
The enormous Demon Saint Stele, which had been quiet, began to emit a beam of light piercing the sky, seemingly connecting heaven and earth.
Upon witnessing this scene, many from the Demon Race were agitated, kneeling down one after another.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon Race was not yet divided into so many distinct groups.
Every Demon Race ancestor was revered by hundreds of Demon sub-races as an esteemed existence.
Above the great tree, Lu Ye indeed seemed to see a faint palace in the sky, with clouds floating around it, resembling... the Immortal Realm!
"It truly can communicate with the upper realm; this Demon Race heritage indeed has something profound."
Lu Ye watched the sky scene with great interest, and after a moment, the image transformed into a stream...
Upon seeing this, the Demon Race priest presiding over the ceremony immediately shouted, "Now, the young successors of each clan who meet the age criteria, step forward one by one!"
"This stream... could it be a higher tier of Heaven and Earth Energy?!"
Lu Ye was astonished; this energy was of a higher tier than the Heaven and Earth Source Qi and was an energy source for cultivation in the upper realm? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Furthermore, this stream seemed to carry a unique aura.
It appeared more like an energy spring exclusive to the Demon Race.
Soon, the first excited Demon Race youth stepped onto the stage, reaching out to touch the Demon Saint Stele.
He chanted in a Demon Race language that Lu Ye couldn’t understand.
Suddenly, the Demon Saint Stele emitted a faint glow.
Subsequently, a small stream divided into about ten droplets of energy source, detaching from the heavenly stream and rushing toward the young Demon Race member on stage.
Seeing the reward granted to him, the young demon took out a Jade Bottle to collect it, feeling a mix of excitement and regret.
Ten or so droplets of Demon Race Ancestral Spring were just slightly better than what ordinary young demons received.
Those Demon Race geniuses could receive around a hundred droplets each time!
...
The entire day was filled with young Demon Race members stepping forward, communicating with ancestral predecessors from the upper realm, and receiving gifts.
The second day followed similarly.
However, by the second day, the younger demons from the minor clans had almost all taken their turns.
The ones appearing gradually were from major clans, including many geniuses.
As noon approached, Lu Ye finally saw a young demon from the Blood Snake Race who, after communication, remarkably induced the heavenly stream to descend as many as a hundred and five droplets of Demon Race Ancestral Spring!
This scene immediately caused all present from the Demon Race to be astonished.
Receiving over eighty droplets already counted as a generous gift.
Exceeding a hundred droplets implied that the upper realm elders not only greatly appreciated the person but also believed this individual had at least the potential to reach Tier Six, the realm of the Earth Realm Grandmaster, thus bestowing such a reward!
Receiving such a gift, the young demon from the Blood Snake Race showed a slight smile of pride on his face.
The other demons, including those from the Celestial Wolf Race, sighed slightly.
A hundred droplets of Ancestral Spring, it seemed once again that this Hundred Saint Demon Festival was led by the Blood Snake Race.
Their clan had produced another terrifying talent.
Last time, this young member of the Blood Snake Race had only been granted around sixty droplets.
Soon, it was the turn for the Celestial Wolf Race to step up.
Among the Celestial Wolf Race, their most talented demon induced the stele, and about sixty droplets of Ancestral Spring descended.
This yield was already considered good compared to other clans.
However, in the face of the commotion the Blood Snake Race genius had stirred, it was still not enough.
As the young demons from the Celestial Wolf Race took their turns, Qin Qingqing also stood among them and soon approached the Demon Saint Stele.
She held no expectations for her talent or the possibility of gaining senior admiration.
So, Qin Qingqing simply extended her hand and pressed it against the stele.
Then, she awaited the ensuing descent of the Demon Race Ancestral Spring.
As Qin Qingqing pressed her hand on it, the Demon Saint Stele emitted a faint glow that traveled upwards.
The stream derived from the Demon Race essence, reflected in the sky, began to let drops of Ancestral Spring fall.
Moments later, about twenty droplets descended.
Qin Qingqing took out a prepared Jade Bottle and caught them.
"Thank you, ancestors, for your gift!"
This scene was within everyone’s expectations; Qin Qingqing’s aptitude was just about that.
However...
Suddenly, it seemed like someone had approached in the sky.
This presence arrived at the stream derived from the Demon Race essence.
In the next instant, a massive outpouring of Ancestral Spring Spirit Liquid swiftly descended, hovering above Qin Qingqing!
Fifty drops, sixty drops... seventy drops...
Finally, reaching around a hundred and twenty drops before it ceased.
At this moment, the Demon Saint Plaza fell utterly silent, with numerous individuals staring at Qin Qingqing in front of the Demon Saint Stele, dumbfounded.
"A hundred and twenty droplets of Ancestral Spring... am I seeing things?!"
"Hiss... How did the Celestial Wolf Princess receive a more generous reward than Xue Xingyu from the Blood Snake Race?"
"Could it be that the upper realm predecessors are mistaken? Otherwise, with the Celestial Wolf Princess still in the Innate Realm, there’s no way she could be granted such rewards!"
"You can’t say that; have you forgotten that the upper realm’s rewards aren’t solely based on aptitude? It’s just that, in the past, there were seldom juniors deserving of the Great Powers’ admiration, so rewards were mostly based on aptitude..."
Meanwhile, on the high platform of the Blood Snake Race, Xue Xingyu, who had just returned with plentiful gains, had his expression suddenly darken.
He never imagined that despite all his preparations today, others stole the limelight.
And the one overshadowing him happened to be the Celestial Wolf Race’s Qin Qingqing, whom Xue Xingyu previously disregarded!
Even the Blood Snake clan leader, Xue Qianxiong, showed a hint of doubt.
Just now, the image reflected in the sky suggested... that a Great Power from the Upper Realm visited the derived Ancestral Spring stream?
Only afterward did we witness the scene that stunned all the demons present.
Xue Qianxiong fell into contemplation, pondering... what did the Great Power from the upper realm see?
That it would suddenly bestow on Qin Qingqing, whose aptitude was only mediocre...
such an enviable resource gift?
After a brief moment, Xue Qianxiong displayed a smile that revealed no particular emotions, congratulating the Celestial Wolf clan leader, Qin Chuan, on the neighboring high platform.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin. Your beloved daughter gained the admiration of an upper realm Great Power, which is indeed a great joy."
Hearing this, the Celestial Wolf clan leader, Qin Chuan, returned from his shock and replied.
"To be honest, Clan Leader Xue, I am also quite puzzled. My younger daughter’s aptitude is average, considering that..."
"She shouldn’t have received such a gift from the upper realm predecessors."
Qin Chuan found himself more puzzled than anyone else.
Even though he adored this daughter deeply, with Qin Qingqing’s aptitude, it would be challenging to reach the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, or Tier Five, without a tremendous opportunity.
Unless, by some great fortune, she received admiration from the Demon Race elders...
She participated in the Hundred Saint Demon Festival twice before; why didn’t they appreciate her then?
