Chapter 1209: Being Dwarfed by Comparison

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
It was time for the representatives from the major clans and sects to show up.
This process was similar to Zhang Tie’s first rotating chakra ceremony. Those who came to congratulate him were all juniors from major sects and clans. As it was an earth knight’s rotating chakra ceremony, it would not be bashful for some disciples of major sects such as Taiyi Fantasy Sect to congratulate him in the public.
Huaiyuan Palace’s hundreds of disciples entered the stage first under the leadership of the castellan of Goldenlight City of Huaiyuan Palace. Goldenlight city was the former Goldensea City of Huaiyuan Palace. Zhang Tie’s family was in Goldensea City. As the elder in the branch of Goldensea City promoted to an earth knight, all the descendants of Goldensea City became very spirited. The current castellan of Goldenlight City was the descendant of Elder Muyuan; of course, he should speak on behalf of all the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace in the first row at this moment.
When Zhang Tie held his first rotating chakra ceremony, it was Zhang Taibai who led the clan disciples to congratulate him. This time, it was Goldenlight City’s turn to lead the clan disciples to congratulate him. This also implied that the position of the branch of Goldenlight City had improved because of Zhang Tie.
“Huaiyuan Palace congratulate Elder Mushen on having a great and long fortune in cultivation base and eternal chakras. In order to congratulate Elder Mushen to promote to an earth knight, Huaiyuan Palace especially gift 200 water-element crystals, 800 tons of gold, 300 crates of bright pearls, 200 crates of gems, 60,000 m golden boa silk and 60,000 square miles’ land outside Jinwu City.” The castellan of Goldenlight City resounded over the square outside the Ancestral Shrine Palace. This congratulation also kicked off the curtain that all the other major clans and sects entered the stage one batch after another.
Besides showing up themselves in the public, it was a good chance for the major clans and sects to show off their wealth. The overall strength of a clan or a sect could be easily identified by their gift. It was like gifting red purses. For instance, when others sent gifts to Huaiyuan Palace on the rotating charka ceremony, Huaiyuan Palace should send more gifts to the others on their rotating charka ceremony.
This was the etiquette pursued by Hua people.
Holding the golden mace, Zhang Tie was sitting straight on the silver throne which represented the power of earth knight and accepted the others’ congratulations frankly.
Zhang Tie had reviewed the gift of Huaiyuan Palace in advance. He had refused all of them except for the 60,000 square miles’ land. They were just going through the motions at this moment.
Zhang clan in Jinwu City was the richest clan in Youzhou Province. Zhang Tie felt it was meaningless to accept their gift and send the gift back to them as they were all members of Huaiyuan Palace. Zhang Tie had power and wealth; however, he didn’t have enough land. What he had owned had been out of his imagination. Wealth and power merely meant pure figure and burden for him.
Closely after Huaiyuan Palace’s team was the representative of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the head of the top 7 sects of Taixia Country.
Taiyi Fantasy Sect only assigned a young disciple here, who looked younger than 20 years old. However, he was already a battle spirit. When the audience saw that Taiyi Fantasy Sect only assigned one person here, they all slightly frowned, ‘That’s too insolent! It’s a rotating chakra ceremony of an earth knight. They should at least assign 2 disciples.’
Zhang Tie just looked at this young disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect with a normal expression, just like Zhang Taixuan who was sitting on the other side.
“Taiyi Fantasy Sect congratulates Elder Mushen on having a great and long fortune in cultivation base and eternal chakras. In order to congratulate Elder Mushen on promoting to an earth knight, Taiyi Fantasy Sect especially gift 1,000 water-element crystals, 1,000 tons of gold and 1,000 Taiyi Soul-Building Pills…” The young disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect glanced around the surrounding audience arrogantly when he mentioned the Taiyi Soul-Building Pills. The audience evidently took in a deep breath. It seemed that Taiyi Soul-Building Pill was not ordinary.
“Taiyi Soul-Building Pill is the secret medicament of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. It could help ordinary fighters to light their surging points as soon as possible. Taiyi Soul-Building Pill could be barely gained in Taixia Country no matter how much money one paid; it barely enters the market, plus 1,000 water-element crystals and 1,000 tons of gold, Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s gift is great…” Elder Muen explained to Zhang Tie by a secret means.
At this moment, it seemed that Elder Muen was afraid that Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s insolent demeanor irritated Zhang Tie and could be hardly dealt with in the end.
Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s gift was not bad; however, they put on their airs more or less. Zhang Tie immediately got hang of the attitude of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. They wanted to show off the power and position as the first sect in Taixia Country while not being looked down upon by others.
‘No need to be that complex. It’s just your elder’s airboat. Are these things more valuable than an airboat? You just want to take back that airboat from here. No need to put on airs! So boring!’
Zhang Tie complained inside; however, he still looked kind. Because Zhang Tie knew that the boring and narrow-minded things in his eyes might be related to the honor of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Due to different stances and perspectives, people always had different conclusions.
“Please extend my thanks to your clan head and elders on behalf of me. The friendship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect started from Lord Huaiyuan. As the posterity of Lord Huaiyuan, of course, I also hope this friendship to last forever!”
After hearing Zhang Tie’s polite words, the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace let out a sigh at the same time. Those powerhouses in the auditorium also exchanged a glance with each other as their intense looks became relaxed.
After the young disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect left, it was the representatives of Heavens Fortune Sect.
Zhang Tie’s 3 sons, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei were chesting out and opening their mouths loudly at the same time, “Heavens Fortune Sect congratulate Elder Mushen on having a great and long fortune in cultivation base and eternal chakras. In order to congratulate Elder Mushen on promoting to an earth knight, Heavens Fortune Sect especially gift 1,000 water-element crystals, 1,000 tons of gold and the right of 20 years’ cultivation in the tower of time of Langya Cave of Heavens Fortune Sect!”
After hearing the great gift of Heavens Fortune Sect, the audience in the auditorium exclaimed once again. The right of 20 years’ cultivation in the tower of time in the Langya Cave of Heavens Fortune Sect? What a debt of gratitude! Zhang Tie’s 3 sons congratulated him on behalf of Heavens Fortune Sect plus this special gift. What a much-told tale! This gift was much more valuable than that of Taiyi Fantasy Sect for an earth knight.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at the auditorium of Heavens Fortune Sect. The elders of Heavens Fortune Sect were also looking at him. Zhang Tie just cupped his hands towards the elders of Heavens Fortunes Sect solemnly. The elders of Heavens Fortune Sect nodded towards Zhang Tie with a smile.
Closely after Heavens Fortune Sect were two disciples of Demons Killing Valley.
The gift of Demons Killing Valley was 1,000 water-element crystals, 1,000 tons of gold and 1,000 sets of rune battle armors being produced by Demons Killing Valley. The rune battle armors of Demons Killing Valley were definitely more valuable than 1,000 Taiyi Soul-Building Pills of Heavens Fortune Sect. Therefore, another round of exclamations sounded in the auditorium.
At this moment, those powerhouses of Taiyi Fantasy Sect didn’t look good anymore. As the first sect in Taixia Country, they felt a bit frustrated as their gift was defeated by that of Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons Killing Valley in value.
However, it was not the fault of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Taiyi Fantasy Sect had not imagined that Demons Killing Valley could arrive with such a great gift because they didn’t know that Zhang Tie had any relationship with Demons Killing Valley after Zhang Tie came to Taixia Country. Although Taiyi Fantasy Sect had imagined that the Heavens Fortune Sect would arrive, they didn’t imagine that Heavens Fortune Sect could have such a deep relationship with Zhang Tie and could even provide the right of 20 years’ cultivation in the tower of time in Langya Cave of Heavens Fortune Sect.
Zhang Tie didn’t look at the faces of those representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect anymore. Just now, he was not furious because he had long known that the other clans would slap Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s face for him.
The third group of people who would slap the face of Heavens Fortune Sect entered the stage, it was the Guan Xiyi, the CEO of Gold and Power Law and Donder.
“Gold and Power Law congratulate Elder Mushen on having a great and long fortune in cultivation base and eternal chakras. In order to congratulate Elder Mushen on promoting to an earth knight, Gold and Power Law especially gift 2,000 water-element crystals, 2,000 tons of gold, 2,000 vials of senior recovery medicaments, Lanjing City which is a Class I City in Yingzhou Province, 120 square miles’ land in Youzhou Province, a customized heavenly-cloud airboat and a purple-cloud airboat…”
“Hua…” The entire auditorium was in an uproar, even the elders of Huaiyuan Palace exchanged a glance with each other while widely opening their mouths. What a great gift!
Zhang Tie’s family members were dumbfounded too. Such a great gift had not been seen for many years across Taixia Country.
After being slapped by Gold and Power Law on the spot once again, the face of earth knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect turned black at once. He moved his eyes onto Zhang Tie with a vacant look as he didn’t know why Gold and Power Law could flatter an earth knight in this way. After this gift was reported, the gift of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the first clan of Taixia Country was dwarfed by that of the other clans at once…
The airboat that Zhang Tie returned to Taiyi Fantasy Sect was also a Heavenly Cloud airboat; the representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect could not imagine that a sect could gift Zhang Tie 2 airboats the moment Zhang Tie returned the airboat to them…
Previously, the representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had a superiority complex as they were here to drive that airboat back. However, as long as Gold and Power Law’s gift was reported, all of them felt that they were like small pedlars who came here to accept and deal with a second-hand abandoned car. They found that the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect was nothing but a sh*t in Zhang Tie’s eyes…
