“Now…. let’s test my Heavenly Star Sword Technique!”
Jaden’s expression was tranquil as he pulled out the Black Meteorite Sword from his waist and slowly closed his eyes. After an incense worth of time passed by, Jaden’s eyes snapped open. The Black Meteorite Sword in his hand instantly struck out.
Rumble!
A thunderous explosion immediately erupted.
An icy sword ray struck forth containing a heaven-defying aura. It was as if Jaden’s body had fused together with the sword and sliced towards the cavern wall. In an instant, a deep sword s***h immediately appeared on the wall.
“This strike contains my intent. I’m afraid that the current me has already taken a step into the realm of One with the sword! Additionally, I reckon the average fifth-layer Foundation Establishment Realm expert would not be able to obstruct this strike!
Jaden was delighted.
The harvest from visiting this cavern had been immense; if Jaden hadn't had the support of this palm imprint, then he wouldn’t have been able to step into the realm of One with the sword.
“Alright. It has already been 15 days since I entered Cloud Moon Forest. By now, father should have prepared everything. Hence, it’s time to head back to the Shiba Clan….” Jaden’s eyes flashed and immediately exited the cavern and descended the mountain.
At this time, in Imperial City, the Shiba Clan had begun the monthly Clan Meeting.
**********
At this moment, Shiba Clan, Hall of Conference.
William sat cross legged, his face tranquil. People were simply unable to guess what he was thinking.
Beneath him was the First Elder, Victor, as well as the Second Elder and Third Elder. During this period of time, the three elders of Shiba Clan wore very ugly faces, especially Victor. His complexion was ashen, and his eyes indistinctly flashed a killing intent.
Beneath the three Elders were the attendees of Shiba Clan; there were 30 people in total.
No one in the Hall of Conference said a single word. The atmosphere was heavy.
Those present understood that what happened within the Shiba Clan a few days ago was the cause. Due to being the Shiba Clan’s Patriarch, William, he no longer received any cultivation resources from the Shiba Family. Instead, he withdrew five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills and gave them all to Jaden.
This was an entire five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills! That is equivalent to five months of what all the disciples within the Shiba Clan received! Giving five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills to a single disciple was simply outrageous!
“Our Shiba Clan will commence a Clan Meeting once a month,” William finally said, while his face was expressionless, “The Clan Meeting is to report all the smaller and bigger matters that have happened, and then have everyone give their input on them. As the Patriarch, I don’t understand why no one has anything to report? If no one is going to report anything, then I will declare the end of the Clan Meeting!”
As the attendees heard this, each and every one of them was dumbstruck. Ever since the Shiba Clan was established in Imperial City, a case of the Clan Meeting ending early was unprecedented.
“I have something to say!” At this moment, a chilly voice resounded.
Everyone’s gaze immediately looked toward the person who spoke. It happened to be Marcus! He just came back from Thunder Titan Academy.
According to past regulations of the Shiba Clan, disciples were not permitted to participate in Clan Meetings. However, Marcus had become the number one genius of the Shiba Clan, so naturally he would have the qualifications to participate.
To a certain extent, one could also say that Marcus’s status was exceedingly important.
The current Marcus was wearing white clothing from top to bottom, his cuffs embossed with gold, and it gave people an impression of grandeur about him. Additionally, the aura emanating from Marcus’s body stated that his cultivation had reached the fifth-layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
If one were to solely rely on the aptitude of a Sky-grade grade Bloodline Limit, then it’d be impossible to reach this state within the period of ten or so days. However, Marcus is the number one genius, and his cultivation resources were naturally abundant. By relying on those cultivation resources, Marcus was able to quickly reach his current state.
The fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm wasn’t anything special within the Shiba Clan, but one also had to understand that Marcus had reached this cultivation stage within a very short time period!
If one thought about it, it would be impossible to know what level Marcus would achieve in the future.
The attendees in the Hall of Conference simultaneously came to this realization. Each of them looked at Marcus with their gazes holding respect and admiration, and there were even some wanting to curry favors with him.
Sensing everyone’s gazes, Marcus felt extremely satisfied. The arrogance on his face was increasingly visible. Displaying himself was one of the reasons he chose to participate in today’s Clan Meeting!
A strict look flashed in William’s eyes, yet his face was still tranquil as he said, “There is no harm in saying what one thinks.”
Marcus gazed at William, and a momentary ridicule appeared on his face as he followed up with a cold voice, “Patriarch, as the number one genius of Shiba Clan, I only receive ten Qi Nurturing Pills per month, and including the care of the Clan, it would not exceed more than twenty Qi Nurturing Pills! I’d like to inquire Patriarch on why you decided to give this waste, Jaden, five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills? Is it because he is your son?”
The atmosphere suddenly turned more tense.
