I Shall Seal the Heavens - chapter-897

Fang Wei was always surrounded by groups of fellow young cultivators. No
matter where he went, he was the center of attention. After all, he was
Fang Wei, the long time number one Chosen of this generation in the Fang
Clan.

He was famous in all the Ninth Mountain and Sea!

Furthermore, although he wasn’t the legitimate eldest grandson of the
Fang Clan, he essentially held that position.

In this generation of the Fang Clan, the only person who ranked above him
in seniority was Meng Hao!

As he sat there calmly, he glanced at Meng Hao for a moment, then closed
his eyes. A year before, when the clan had convened the welcoming
ceremony, he did not make an appearance; he couldn’t care less that
Meng Hao had been scheduled to return.

The only reason he came today was because the strength of Meng Hao’s
bloodline had piqued his interest.

The air in the temple was very solemn. All of the people seated inside
were Fang Clan Elders, and although not every single clan Elder had come,
this group comprised the majority of those who were on Planet East
Victory.

Each person in the temple looked like an Immortal Deity. All of them, be
it in terms of their qi and blood, or in terms of their aura, were
terrifying to the extreme. As Meng Hao looked around, he realized that he
couldn’t gauge any of their cultivation bases.

As of this moment, Meng Hao gained a clearer understanding of how
powerful the Fang Clan was.

If you didn’t count the Ji Clan, this clan could actually be considered
the number one clan in all the Ninth Mountain and Sea. The year that Lord
Li disappeared, if the Fang Clan had been stronger by just a hair… the
Ninth Mountain and Sea might now be following a Lord Fang.

Meng Hao was also well aware that he was really only looking at the tip
of the iceberg. The Fang Clan had even deeper and more powerful
resources, making them a force that few would ever trifle with lightly.

Furthermore, Meng Hao… was the eldest grandson of the direct bloodline
of the Fang Clan. It was easy to imagine what would have happened if he
hadn’t experienced the Seventh Year Tribulation. Had he grown up in the
Fang Clan, his status and fame would definitely have made him well-known
throughout the Ninth Mountain and Sea, as well as the Eighth Mountain and
Sea.

All of the Elders were now looking at Meng Hao. It was impossible to tell
whether they were happy or angry; their expressions were abstruse and
impossible to read, and filled the hall with incredible pressure. As for
Fang Wei, and his father and grandfather, undetectable gleams flickered
in their eyes.

Meng Hao was the only person standing, right there in the middle of the
temple. As for the pressure that emanated from those surrounding him,
Meng Hao didn’t even flinch.

After a long moment, Grand Elder Fang Tongtian finally spoke.

“Fang Hao!” he said, his expression solemn. His voice echoed out in
the temple, making it sound almost as if a throng of people were
speaking. Everything trembled.

“Having offered sacrifices to the ancestors, you are now officially a
member of the Fang Clan. Henceforth, you shall enjoy access to the Fang
Clan’s cultivation resources, and many things will now tilt in your
favor.

“However, there is something you must never forget!” The Grand
Elder’s expression was suddenly threatening, although it lacked any
anger.

“Now that you are a member of the Fang Clan, you must follow all of the
clan rules. Violate those rules, and it doesn’t matter how strong your
bloodline is, or that you have a 30,000-meter Bloodline Gatebeam. Despite
that… you will still be punished!

“Speaking of the clan rules, I will give you a detailed copy that you
can study in a moment.”

Meng Hao stood there silently, looking at the Grand Elder.

After the Grand Elder finished speaking, a white-haired, ruddy-faced old
man seated off to the side smiled and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen of
the clan, let us discuss how the cultivation resources will be allocated
to Fang Hao.”

“Hao’er is the eldest grandson of the direct bloodline,” someone
said. “In fact, he is the highest-ranking grandson of his generation in
the entire Fang Clan. He’s had a hard time in the outside world during
these years. Now that he’s back in the clan, he should naturally be
given the very best of everything!”

“The Immortal’s cave next to Brightmoon Lake has good fortune of
Heaven and Earth inside,” another person said. “Furthermore, the
remains of a Heavenly Dragon can be found therein. It is absolutely the
best Immortal’s cave in all of Planet East Victory. From my
perspective, that Immortal’s cave should definitely be given to
Hao’er.”

Another of the Elders looked at Meng Hao with praise in his eyes and
said, “That’s right. For years, no one has possessed the
qualifications to have that Immortal’s cave. We of the direct bloodline
have him as our eldest grandson, and in fact, the highest-ranking
grandson of his entire generation! He is the only one who could possibly
be qualified to have that Immortal’s cave.”

This was not a situation where people were trying to bring Meng Hao down
by over-praising him. These people truly wanted Meng Hao to have the best
resources to help him advance himself in the quickest manner possible.

Almost as soon as soon as the Elder from the direct bloodline finished
speaking, other Elders began to speak.

“That’s not entirely proper. Hao’er has just returned, and hasn’t
yet made the least contribution whatsoever to the good of the clan.You
can’t reward him with that Immortal’s cave on the basis of his
position alone. That wouldn’t be fair.”

“Precisely. In the Fang Clan, one’s standing is based on how much one
has contributed to the clan. To avoid causing other clan members to have
feelings of resentment, Hao’er should not be given that Immortal’s
cave.”

It only took a moment for a clamor to arise as numerous Elders began to
give their opinions. In the end, Meng Hao could tell that about thirty
percent of the Elders disagreed, with only about ten percent standing on
Meng Hao’s side. The rest maintained their silence.

The Grand Elder had predicted that something like this would happen, so
he sat there silently, his expression the same as usual.

It was at this point that suddenly, Fang Wei, who sat in a chair
surrounded by over a hundred young companions, suddenly opened his eyes
to speak.

“Respected Elders, I regret to inform you that Junior has already taken
the Immortal’s cave by Brightmoon Lake and gifted it to someone.” His
voice was placid and seemingly devoid of any emotion whatsoever. As soon
as he spoke, the direct bloodline Elders’ faces grew dark. However,
none of them offered any sort of response.

An imperceptible flicker appeared in Meng Hao’s eyes. The words spoken
by Fang Wei carried much meaning. This was a meeting of Fang Clan elders,
and none of the other members of the younger generation had seats except
for Fang Wei.

Furthermore, his words actually carried a domineering weight that seemed
to be intolerant of any opposition. It was so domineering… that even
the direct bloodline Elders didn’t dare to retort.

Meng Hao looked over at Fang Wei, and Fang Wei looked back at him for a
moment before closing his eyes.

Then, the direct bloodline Elder spoke up again.

“Other than the Immortal’s cave, there are also the ten batches of
Rainbow Immortal Evanescence Pills concocted by Pill Elder from the Dao
of Alchemy Division. That type of pill is a rare medicine that provides
mysterious assistance when rising from the Spirit Realm into the Immortal
Realm. Seven batches of those pills should be given to Hao’er!”

“That’s not appropriate either,” said another Elder. “Only ten
batches of pills are concocted per year, and the medicinal plant
ingredients are all extinct in the outside world. The Rainbow Immortal
Evanescence Pill is the Fang Clan’s strongest type of pill that exists
in the gap between the Spirit and Immortal Realms. They are concocted for
the benefit of the entire junior generation. Therefore, giving seven
batches to Hao’er is impossible. I say, one batch should be enough.”

As before, the Grand Elder said nothing. It was at this point that the
white-robed Fang Wei opened his eyes and spoke again.

“Respected Elders, I regret to inform you that Junior has already made
arrangements for all ten batches of Rainbow Immortality Evanescence
Pills.”

Immediately, silence once again filled the entire temple. Fury burned in
the direct bloodline Elders’ eyes, but all they could do was clench
their jaws and maintain silence.

Meng Hao had not spoken yet either, but his brow had gradually become
furrowed as he looked over at Fang Wei. Fang Wei had only spoken twice,
yet each time his words had silenced the Elders. This fact revealed a lot.

In addition, Meng Hao was gradually coming to detect something familiar
about Fang Wei, although he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it
was. After a moment, he began to wonder if he was just imagining it.

Silence reigned in the temple, and while the direct bloodline clan
members sat there gloomily, there were Elders from other bloodlines who
were smiling slightly. Finally, Grand Elder Fang Tongtian cleared his
throat and then began to speak, his eyes shining.

“Well, since we have a disagreement regarding the Immortal’s cave and
the medicinal pills, let’s put those matters aside for now. Hao’er,
you are the eldest grandson of the direct bloodline, so I will take
responsibility for you now. There will be no more discussion. You will be
given the highest quality compensation from the clan.” With that, he
waved his right hand, causing a jade slip to fly out and come to float in
front of Meng Hao.

“Take this jade slip to the clan’s Hall of the People. That is where
you can withdraw your monthly set cultivation resources.

“As for the Immortal’s cave….” The Grand Elder muttered to
himself for a moment, then waved his hand, causing a gentle light to
spread out, which rapidly solidified into a map.

There were various dots of glowing light on the map, each of which
represented an Immortal’s cave. The closer the Immortal’s caves were
to the center of the map, the stronger the auras they emitted. In the
very center of them all was a lake, which was none other than Brightmoon
Lake.

“Hao’er, go ahead and select an Immortal’s cave from among the ones
you see here. The dim lights represent Immortal’s caves that have
already been spoken for.” As the Grand Elder spoke, about eighty
percent of the lights on the map went dark. Not many were left behind.
There were still a few next to Brightmoon Lake, but most were located in
other areas, and especially along the edges.

All eyes were on Meng Hao, and most of the onlookers seemed concerned,
although it was impossible to tell whether such feelings were true or
false.

Meng Hao was silent for a moment, then clasped hands and bowed to the
Grand Elder.

“Grand Elder, Junior has come to Planet East Victory upon my father’s
request to take my two Nirvana Fruits. I don’t really care about
Immortal’s caves or medicinal pills. I don’t need them. I just want
my Nirvana Fruits.” Having directly spoken these words, Meng Hao gazed
at the Grand Elder.

Complete silence filled the temple.

Finally, the Grand Elder waved his hand as if he couldn’t accept Meng
Hao’s refusal of the Immortal’s cave and other things.

“Hao’er, you just got back to the clan,” he said, his voice kind.
“You need some time to get familiar with everything. An Immortal’s
cave, cultivation resources, and those medicinal pills are things that,
as a member of the Fang Clan, belong to you by right.

“Regarding the Nirvana Fruits, fear not, they’re yours. Naturally,
they will be returned to you. I personally promised your father exactly
that when he left.

“Don’t worry about that matter. Although, it is a significant affair.
Two days from now, I will make an announcement throughout the entire
clan, inviting clan members here to bear witness to the returning of the
Nirvana Fruits into your hands.”

Meng Hao didn’t respond. Originally, he didn’t have any desire to
come to the Fang Clan. Now that he was here, and he understood the
situation, he was even less willing to stay.

In fact, he was even of a mind to simply leave right then and there.
However, when he thought of his parents’ hopes, he took a deep breath,
and a fierce glow appeared in his eyes for a brief moment. He nodded, and
then decided to say one more thing.

Updated from light/novelworld[.]com

“Grand Elder, there is also an Immortality Illumination Vine that my
father had prepared for me. Could you please return that to me as well?”

Before the Grand Elder could even respond, the white-robed Fang Wei’s
voice could be heard.

“I regret to inform you that I’ve already made arrangements for that
Immortality Illumination Vine as well,” he said coolly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Meng Hao’s eyes sparkled with icy
coldness. He looked over at Fang Wei, smiled slightly, and then began to
speak.

“Junior Cousin Fang Wei,” he said, his voice ice cold despite his
smile, “apparently, I beat the crap out of you too hard when we were
young. That’s the only explanation for why you’ve become such a
nutcase. Otherwise, what would possibly make you think it was acceptable
to steal from me?” 1

When Fang Wei heard this, his eyes glowed with icy coldness as he stared
dead at Meng Hao.
