Gaisslisen was right; it was truly a celebration for the whole clan!
Not just the high-ranking family members, but many ordinary clansmen also gathered throughout the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains. They were all drinking heartily and talking loudly in great spirits. Having a Grand Completion powerhouse in the family filled even the ordinary clansmen with pride!
How prosperous had the family been when the four ancestors were still alive?
After the ancestors died, the family declined, even being blocked at the foot of the mountains by the Eight Great Families and loudly insulted. This was a humiliation! It left the clan members who had experienced the family's glory feeling very disheartened!
Lin Lei's rise reignited their pride and sense of honor.
It was a wildly enthusiastic celebration, with even the guards drinking in celebration. With a Grand Completion Highgod around, the guards felt at ease; no one dared to provoke the Four Divine Beast Family.
Late at night, the Purple Moon hung high in the sky.
In the Green Dragon clan's territory within the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains, a vast estate had been built atop a high mountain. Its scale was far larger even than the clan leader's residence. It looked quite plain, but upon closer inspection... even the courtyard walls featured delicate, intricate carvings. With Lin Lei's eye, he recognized at once that only a carving grandmaster could achieve such work.
And right now...
Before this estate, only Lin Lei and Gaisslisen stood.
Lin Lei couldn't help but glance at Gaisslisen beside him, thinking to himself, "This clan leader has certainly prepared quite a lot for me."
"Clan leader, I'm to live here?" Lin Lei asked in return.
"Lin Lei," Gaisslisen said with a smile, "you are now the strongest in our Four Divine Beast Family! When people outside mention our family, you are the first they think of. Your residence should match your status. Besides, this place is large enough, and you have many relatives and friends. It's more than sufficient."
Lin Lei nodded upon hearing this.
This newly built estate was comparable to the 'Dragon Blood Castle' back on the Yulan Continent. Forget about a hundred people; it could easily accommodate a thousand.
"Then I'll accept it," Lin Lei said straightforwardly.
Gaisslisen nodded with a smile: "Move your relatives and friends here next year." Wotton and the others were already living in the Great Canyon, and Hogg had gone to meet Baruch and the other family ancestors. For Hogg and Wotton, meeting their ancestors was a very important matter.
"No rush," Lin Lei said. "My relatives should also spend more time with our ancestors from the Yulan Continent branch."
"That's true," Gaisslisen agreed, smiling. "Lin Lei... look." As he spoke, a small jade bottle appeared in Gaisslisen's hand.
This type of jade bottle had a very narrow opening, usually used to store refined Soul Pearls or other small, granular items.
"This is?" Lin Lei frowned. "Divine Power of a Sovereign?"
"Correct. Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign," Gaisslisen said with a smile. "Lin Lei, I know you primarily cultivate the Laws of the Earth. When using Divine Power of a Sovereign, Earth Divine Power is most suitable for you. So, we prepared this for you! As our family's strongest, you should naturally use the most fitting Divine Power of a Sovereign."
This small bottle of Divine Power of a Sovereign was far less than the full flask Linley had received from雷斯晶.
But even a small bottle contained over a thousand drops.
"Clan leader," Lin Lei did not take it. Instead, he shook his head. "This bottle of Divine Power of a Sovereign is too much. Since the four ancestors passed away, our Four Divine Beast Family has lost its source of Divine Power of a Sovereign. Every drop used is one less. You should keep this and leave it for the other elders of the family."
Lin Lei knew his own strength; even if he used Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign, he was not afraid of a Grand Completion powerhouse, and could even gain a slight advantage after transforming into his dragon form.
"Haha..."
Gaisslisen laughed. "Lin Lei, you're overthinking it. Back then, our family used Divine Power of a Sovereign so sparingly. One reason was the lack of a source, but the second was the pressure from the Eight Great Families. Divine Power of a Sovereign was consumed too quickly. A single drop per battle, and usually dozens of battles were needed to kill just one enemy elder. The consumption was too great; the family didn't dare use it recklessly. After all, back then, we didn't know what the family's future held... so we had to be frugal."
"But now, Lin Lei, you've become a Grand Completion. Who would dare provoke our Four Divine Beast Family again?" Gaisslisen said, smiling happily.
Lin Lei, hearing this, was somewhat persuaded by Gaisslisen.
With him present, indeed, no one would be foolish enough to provoke the family again. The family's chances of needing to consume Divine Power of a Sovereign would be much smaller.
"Lin Lei, take it," Gaisslisen urged.
Lin Lei hesitated slightly.
"Then how about this!" Lin Lei flipped his hand, and instantly, Earth divine power and the surrounding Earth elements condensed, finally forming a black bottle in his palm. Lin Lei pointed with one hand, and a stream of black water emerged from his palm out of thin air, flowing into the black bottle.
This black water was precisely Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign.
Lin Lei's supply of Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign was truly vast.
In a moment, the small bottle was filled. This small bottle was at most one-tenth the size of a full flask.
"What's this?" Gaisslisen was stunned.
"Clan leader, I'll exchange this bottle of my Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign for your bottle of Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign. Indeed, Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign works better for me when I use it," Lin Lei said with a smile, handing over the small black bottle. If the family had abundant Divine Power of a Sovereign, Lin Lei would have just accepted it.
But the family didn't have much, and this small bottle likely represented a significant portion of their Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign reserves.
"Lin Lei," Gaisslisen quickly said, "This won't do. You—"
"You take it, otherwise I won't accept yours," Lin Lei shook his head.
Gaisslisen could only smile helplessly and nod. "Very well then." He took the small bottle of Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign, while Lin Lei took the small bottle of Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign. For Lin Lei... Destruction Divine Power of a Sovereign was plentiful, but at his level of strength, the opportunities to use it were rare. Exchanging some for Earth Divine Power of a Sovereign was very beneficial for him.
