As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

”All these Spiritual Children who have stood out from tens of thousands of children have already rushed to Golden Light Prefecture City, preparing for the Divine Sectʼs recruitment test on the spring equinox.”

Li Qingshan smiled, ”The three Supreme Spiritual Children were all selected by me. Of course, even among the Supreme Spiritual Children, there are levels of higher and lower, which I have determined based on the thickness of the Purple Qi Divine Pillar...”

”Ah, except for you, old Spirit Child!”

Li Qingshan, as if thinking of something, gave Li Che an odd look, dropping a hint.

Li Cheʼs face darkened, as if he gave a hoot?

Did he, Li Che, care to compare himself with three children?!

Li Qingshan, you neednʼt be so accurate in reading people!

Li Che pursed his lips.

Li Qingshan continued, ”I had originally placed Xi Xi as the second ranked, with the first being a youth from Xianghuancheng of the Noble Families, named Huang Si Xiang, who has Innate Divine Strength unrivaled and a very high Divine Talent.”

Li Cheʼs eyes narrowed: ”What level is he, having a higher talent than my Xi Xi?”

Li Qingshan just felt Li Che was really brash.

”That Huang Si Xiang is not even the one with the best talent, remember, these are just the Supreme Spiritual Children of the thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of Golden Light Prefecture...”

Li Che raised an eyebrow: ”And Mansion City is not included?”

”Of course not, Mansion City has the Five Great Clans, and itʼs much easier for Clan Juniors to be born as Spirit Children, nurtured with treasures from a young age—Supreme Spiritual Children are not uncommon, having won at birth.”

Li Che fell silent, indeed, that made sense...

The Five Great Clans had numerous strong individuals, with the bloodline inheritance of the Divine Minister Ancestor, and the nourishment with heavenly and earthly treasures even before birth, indeed having a head start.

...

...

Li Qingshan and Li Che went to the study room together, where they brewed hot tea, drinking and chatting.

”The Five Great Clans... willing to send their talented juniors to the Divine Sect?”

Li Che, suddenly thinking of something, curiously asked.

”The Five Great Clans are different from the youth of other cities. Take a small clan like those in Fei Lei City, having a Divine Foundation is already the ceiling, and once the Divine Foundation passes away, it signifies the beginning of the clanʼs decline.”

”Therefore, these city-based clans keep their talented youth to cultivate them as Divine Foundations to protect the family and maintain their status in the city.”

”If they send them to the Divine Sect, there wonʼt be any news for twenty or thirty years, and the sense of belonging to the family is not strong, so even if they become Divine Foundations, they might not be willing to return to their clans...”
