Chapter 46: Reason

Inside the Divine Gathering Chamber

The patriarch of the Zhang clan, Zhang Shensu was standing behind a golden chair at the head of a big luxury golden rectangular table.

At the left side of patriarch Zhang, there were seven elders from earlier, also stood there silently, waiting for everyone to completely gathered.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, an old man with a white hair and long white beard appeared out of no where.

When the patriarch and the other seven elders saw him, they immediately came forward and bowed to him "Greeting, first grand elder".

And the old man just nodded lightly in response.

...

Thirty minutes passed

A middle aged man, suddenly appeared from a space crack that formed out of nowhere inside the room earlier.

When the patriarch, elders and grand elders saw him, they instantly bowed to him with the utmost respect manner, they dare not raise up until the middle aged man allowed them.

"Your descendants greeting lord ancestor." All of them greeted him in unison.

"Alright, no need for so much formality, just go to your respective seats." The middle aged man casually said to them.

"Yes, lord ancestor." These old men replied their ancestor obediently as if a child listen to his father, normal people would find this scene mused, but who would disrespect their ancestor? This is a must-do, but from the way it looked, their respect for the ancestor just penetrated through the roof.

The ancestor sat on the golden chair, the patriarch sat on the right side of him while the first grand elder sat on the left side, followed by the second grand elder and third grand elder, after that, it followed by the old elders.

While there were only the younger ones sat on the right side.

"The matter we're going to discuss today is really important, regarding of our little Tianzhu, the Divine Elemental Child. I'm sure that our old friends must have had figured this out too." The ancestor said with an emotionless tone.

"Right ancestor, I wonder why they still stay in this lower world?" One of the elder asked.

"You stupid, you can't even figure this out? They are of course stay in the lower world to protect their descendants and kins like you bunch, aren't all of you immortals too? You should know this right?" The ancestor scolded that elder.

"Oh, please forgive this child for my stupidness." That elder said in an awkward tone.

"Sigh..." the ancestor shook his head, what a stupid immortal, I doubt how he become an immortal. "Alright, all of you, listen to my orders, make sure to protect little Tianzhu at all cost, not even a fly or dust must touch him. Also, if he wants to cultivate then anyone of you go guide him. The cultivation path of the Divine Elemental Child is very different and weird from normal people, so when you watch him cultivate make sure to not faint or cough out blood from shock or depression. One more, bath him in the most precious herbs every night, make sure to adjust everything right, this is to strengthen his bones and body."

What did the ancestor mean by 'make sure to not faint or cough out blood from shock or depression?' Is there some magical thing happened when Tianzhu cultivate and it will effect us resulting in the shockwaves rise up and made us cough blood?

All the people here excepted Tianzhu's father and the ancestor, were having a question expression on there face.

When Zhang Lijun heard about this, he couldn't help by smile bitterly, he was exactly the one who almost cough out blood because of shock and depression.

"By the way ancestor, this one here have a question that stuck in my head for a long time now." The third grand elder asked. When everyone heard this, they got really curious about what is the most intelligent person in the entire clan going to ask, and it's rare for him to ask the question.

"Just speak."

"I wonder, why does our clan ancestors really wanted to have the Divine Elemental Child?" This question is the best indeed, all the people here never really considered or curious about the reason behind why does their clan really want to have the Divine Elemental Child?

They understood that everyone loves the strongest and the most talented ones, but why did their ancestors obsessed with this so much? It's been two hundred thousand years, the clan ancestors always relayed this message to their descendants that they really wanted to have a Divine Elemental Child in the clan. The people here might really thought about this question before, but maybe they couldn't figure it out and just put this question the back of their head?

"Sigh, it's a bit awkward to explain, even I don't really understand it clearly. The people of our clan in the past generations, were all with fetish. To be exact, the strong fetish. They really obsessed with the strong things, especially humans, so as a result they would train themselves to become strong the point of no more energy to train, they were all maniacs. But this didn't only focus toward the strength or combat arts, it focused in everything, if one was an alchemy then he would train himself in alchemist to be the strongest, the same could be said to blacksmith, Divine inscription, Formation etc. As you already know , the leader of our clan for every generation needs to be a skillful man with at least three professions, exclude cultivation. He also needed to have a certain level of mastery of those professions too. Since the birth of our clan until now, no clan leaders has ever mastered all professions, at most they mastered four professions. If the clan leader is skills in all kind of professions and the normal person couldn't do that, only the Divine Elemental Child is capable of that feat, if so then the clan will become even more stronger and better by countless times. So with the size of our clan since the beginning until now, no ancestors has ever satisfied with it, I also wonder if they really wanted to have the whole planet as their clan?"

All the people here listened to their ancestor and went in daze, just how strong of the fetish toward the strong of their ancestors were? That was one damn hella weird reason there. Even the author here didn't really understand either.

"So to sum it up, our clan ancestors were all damn weirdos, luckily I didn't born at that time or else I might become a weirdo too. I didn't know if the clan ancestors used some kind of brainwashed technique to make the clan members became like that." The ancestor sigh in a relief.

When everyone saw this they couldn't help but nodded their head too, they too, didn't want to become a 'strong fetish' weirdo. They secretly thank their mom for giving birth to them in this generation.
