SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Spiritual Vein Ceremony begins
Back in the bedroom, Xu Qianghua and Bai Lingyun had noticed the girls’ disappearance, but they did not pay much attention to it.

Instead, they were more focused on what they were doing, and because of that, they soon let the matter be in the back of their minds.

Both of them then spent the next two days inside without leaving the room, which was noticed by the other girls, who promptly made a mental note about this betrayal by the three ladies who did not plan to invite them.

Meanwhile, both Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan went around the cities near the sect to see the situation Elder Xu was talking about and found some of the families getting restless.

But this did not surprise them as Xu Qianghua had already planned for this, and there were countermeasures for these situations, so they just made a mental note of the families and returned to the sect.

During this time, the Empyrean Harmony Sect was energized as disciples and elders moved through the grounds, preparing for the much anticipated Spiritual Vein Ceremony.

Vibrant banners were hung, special one-time formations laid to keep everything in check, and new ceremonial relics were made just for this ceremony.

And today is the day when the Sect Leader will petition the World’s Will to separate a breach from the Primordial Vein to their mountain.

Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei, the Sect leader and Vice Sect leader of the Empyrean Harmony Sect, moved around to see the progress and make sure everything was ready before they began.

Dressed in traditional ceremonial robes embroidered with symbols representing harmony and power, the two women radiated authority, which made the few disciples and elders work even harder as they did not want to disappoint them.

The sect’s preparations were almost complete when the first of the invited guests began to arrive—leaders of prominent families from all over the Central Continent.

Some were friends of the Xu family, while others were here out of curiosity, wanting to see firsthand the spiritual vein ceremony rumored to reveal the true strength of the sect and, perhaps, the Xu family.

They hoped that observing the ceremony would confirm the rumors of the Xu family’s power that had spread throughout the continent over the past year.

The family heads entered the sect with guarded expressions, taking in the formations, ornate decorations, and disciples who walked past them with great vigor and excitment.

Subtle nods and raised brows marked the family heads’ silent conversations; they were here not only to witness the ceremony but also to judge the sect’s capability and, by extension, the backing of the elusive Xu family.

“Impressive, isn’t it?” one family head murmured to his companion as they surveyed the intricate formations glowing faintly with energy.

“Indeed,” another replied. “But let’s see if they are really as powerful as the rumors say, as that would determine if we need to fight or just lay down and wave the white flag.”

At the main ceremonial area, Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei exchanged glances, both aware of what the family leaders were thinking.But they did not think too much, as this was expected, as the Xu family is known as the number one family.However, they did not show anything that cast doubt on the claims, and every major player will face this at some point.

Soon, everything was ready, so both Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei stepped forward, activating a grand formation beneath them.

With practiced movements, they channeled their Spiritual Qi into it, illuminating the many intricate symbols that shined as the Spiritual Qi ran through them.

The crowd watched in silence as the sect leaders began chanting, their voices merging with the hum of the formation.

Disciples surrounding the circle added their own Spiritual Qi, strengthening the ritual.

The formation glowed brighter, and tendrils of silvery-blue energy started gathering at the edges, drawn by the combined power of everyone involved.

The air was filled with waves of Spiritual Qi that were rushing toward the formation, creating a powerful scene.

The family leaders observing held expressions of surprise and caution. This was the first time they’d seen a formation attempting direct communication with the World’s Will.

One of them murmured, “If they truly succeed in drawing a spiritual vein here, it’ll confirm that others can do the same in their Sects.”

Hidden in the crowd, Xu Qianghua watched, his gaze shifting between the ritual and the family heads’ reactions.

He could tell they were looking for him and his family at the start, but now they are focused on the ceremony, which made him smile.

This is why he told the girls to call these leaders: He wanted to make sure this news got out to the world.

This way, other sects will also do this, which will make the humans stronger at a much earlier pace.

As in the old timeline, the gap between the first Sect of the ceremony and the second one is more than five years.

This happened mainly because the first sect made this ceremony sound like a personal reward that only they would get.

For the other who tried it, they would receive punishment from the World’s Will.

Although many did not believe this, but many did not want their forces to be put in such a dangerous situation.

But some people did not listen and tried to do it, which was suppressed by the first Sect, which is why it took the second one five years.

However, Xu Qianghua has no such plans. He wants the people to grow stronger, which will allow him and the Xu family as a whole to grow without any interruptions.

And as he thought about these things, Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei continued, the formation drew in more energy, forming a vortex of silvery light above them.

Finally, with a united voice, they sent forth the Empyrean Harmony Sect’s request—to connect to the spiritual vein and secure prosperity for their sect.
