, Father. Then you and my younger brother continue your cultivation. If you both break through, our Dongfang clan will be all the more formidable!" Dongfang Jinxing said hastily. "Mm, Yinxing is still a little short. If Bushu had not fallen... I fear his strength would already be no less than Yinxing's. Ah, he was the genius of our Dongfang clan, and to fall just like that! Hmph—once this old man succeeds in charging through to the peak of the late Heaven rank, at consummate mastery, I will go settle accounts with the Mingri Fumingri Sect and make them give me an explanation!" Dongfang Badao sneered. "Indeed. For now, we can only swallow our anger," Dongfang Jinxing nodded. "Jinxing, your strength is in fact not bad either. Cultivate diligently, and raising your strength to the peak of the late Heaven rank should be no problem. You simply spend too much time thinking about clan affairs. Your aptitude is not much inferior to Yinxing's," Dongfang Badao instructed. "Yes, Father, I will do my best!" Dongfang Jinxing smiled bitterly. Previously he had set his heart on becoming the young clan-head, but once he had the position he realized how much it hindered one's cultivation! Of course, if Dongfang Yinxing had not voluntarily yielded and had competed with Dongfang Jinxing instead, then Dongfang Jinxing likely would not have thought this way—things obtained too easily are never treasured. Had it been like the ancient Feng family, the picture would surely have been quite different. After withdrawing from Dongfang Badao's room, Dongfang Jinxing went to make preparations for Dongfang Buruo's and Dongfang Cha's venture into the secular world. Holding to the principle that a good meal is worth the wait, they would have to prepare thoroughly, lest casual comings and goings in the secular world invite censure! The Dongfang clan was not yet powerful enough to disregard others. If both Dongfang Badao and Dongfang Yinxing successfully advanced to the peak of the late Heaven rank, at consummate mastery, then the Dongfang clan would no longer have to tread so timidly.

The Dark Night Palace.
The Supreme Elder's expression was incomparably grim, for this morning she had received bad news: when the palace master, Ye Rou'er, took qi-gathering pills to charge at the Heaven rank, she had not obtained the inheritance—that is, Ye Rou'er had failed to obtain the inheritance! One had to know that Ye Rou'er, having already lost her virginity, would find it incomparably harder to receive the inheritance, and the instant of breaking through to the Heaven rank was the best opportunity to perceive it. If even then she had not sensed the opportunity for the inheritance, then there would essentially be no hope for the next few years. So the Supreme Elder's heart shattered in that moment—and the Dark Night Palace's dream of soaring shattered with it! What the Supreme Elder had counted on was that she and Ye Rou'er would together become experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank, at consummate mastery, then together become participants in the Cloud-Rank Island plan, and together set foot upon the heavenly dao. In that way, the Dark Night Palace's strength would undergo a qualitative leap! Otherwise, the Dark Night Palace would only sink into obscurity, growing worse and worse, until at last it might even fall out of the ancient tier and become one of the ordinary sects of the hidden tier! Such a state of affairs was not what the Supreme Elder wished to see; she absolutely could not let the Dark Night Palace decline in her hands! (To be continued...)
