I Am Overlord

Chapter 1555: Grandpa Grandson Meeting

With Yu Caidie\'s return and the lack of reprisals from the Di Clan, Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to introduce Tuoba Wan\'er and Tuoba Lingtian to his father.

In the rear court behind the grand hall, Xiang Yangzhan was pacing back and forth. He was a God, yet he looked both nervous and expectant. It was worth noting that the willpower of a God was strong enough that a God could remain calm in almost all situations. But today was different. Xiang Yangzhan was going to meet his first grandson.

"I wonder how that kid looks. Even if he grows into half the person Yun\'er is, I\'ll be happy," muttered Xiang Yangzhan to himself.

He didn\'t even dare to start comparing his grandson with Xiang Shaoyun. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was a genius who had fused nine powers to forge the Primal Inception Physique; he was a unique and unequaled cultivator in the dominion. Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun also had the innate abilities of the Imperial Nether Clan. In terms of talent, few could compare with him.

Before long, Xiang Shaoyun appeared hand in hand with Tuoba Wan\'er. A delicate-looking child of about seven years old also trailed behind them. He looked incredibly lively, jumping about cheerfully like a bird that had been released from its cage.

Xiang Yangzhan completely ignored Xiang Shaoyun and looked at Tuoba Wan\'er with a satisfied expression. Then, he shifted all his focus onto Tuoba Lingtian. His gaze was filled with so much passion that even Tuoba Lingtian started feeling nervous.

"U-uncle, can you not look at me like that? Don\'t tell me you have a fetish toward boys?" asked Tuoba Lingtian bashfully.

"Tian\'er, do not be rude! He\'s your grandpa! Kowtow to your grandpa!" said Xiang Shaoyun.

Tuoba Wan\'er took the lead and saluted Xiang Yangzhan as she said, "Your daughter-in-law, Tuoba Wan\'er, greets you, Father-in-Law."

Xiang Shaoyun\'s other women couldn\'t address Xiang Yangzhan as Father-in-Law yet, but Tuoba Wan\'er was already qualified because she was officially married to Xiang Shaoyun.

"Good, good. Stand up," said Xiang Yangzhan. "Wan\'er, it must have been hard on you these years. Did that kid mistreat you at all? If he did, I\'ll teach him a lesson for you!"

"Tian\'er, come greet your grandpa!" said Tuoba Wan\'er as she beckoned to Tuoba Lingtian.

Tuoba Lingtian naturally didn\'t dare to disobey his mother. He hurriedly kowtowed to Xiang Yangzhan and said, "Tian\'er greets you, Grandpa."

As this was his first time meeting Xiang Yangzhan, he wasn\'t exactly willing to perform this greeting. However, he was sensible enough to know that he shouldn\'t make things difficult for his parents.

"Good boy. Stand up and let your grandpa get a good look at you. Grandpa has let all of you down all these years," said Xiang Yangzhan with a sigh.

Tuoba Lingtian wasn\'t even eight, but he had already grown to a considerable height. His delicate eyes seemed filled with life, and from his childlike features, one could see that he would grow into an extremely attractive individual.

Even at such a young age, he was already a late-stage Astral Realm cultivator. He could probably reach the Transformation Realm before he was ten. He was remarkably talented and would most definitely reach great heights in the future.

Because this was Xiang Yangzhan\'s first meeting with his grandson, he naturally came bearing gifts. Even Xiang Shaoyun felt envious when he saw the gift. Xiang Yangzhan had prepared some top-tier 10,000-year-old star tempering spring water, a saint-grade water. This was a treasure that could triple the astral energy capacity of cultivators below the King Realm. It was also extremely beneficial for one\'s physical body.

"This is something I had obtained previously. I had wanted to save it for when you start cultivating, but it looks like my grandson will be the one getting it instead," said Xiang Yangzhan as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun.

The star tempering spring was not just a regular saint-grade spring. Rather, it was much rarer than other saint-grade springs. Even Gods would have to rely on luck to obtain some.

One ought to know that the capacity of a cultivator\'s stars would greatly determine the cultivator\'s combat strength. The bigger the capacity, the more energy one could store and the more strength one could exert from one\'s stars. With bigger capacity, one would be stronger than those of the same cultivation level.

The star tempering spring water was capable of expanding one\'s stars by at least three times. The lower one\'s cultivation level, the more growth one would obtain from the water. After using the water, as the cultivator advanced, the cultivator would continue enjoying an advantage over other cultivators of the same realm. That was a terrifyingly powerful way of excavating one\'s potential.

One ought to know that the treasures Xiang Shaoyun had consumed in the past were only those that could expand his capacity by one-third or a half. The difference between the treasures he had used and the one his son received was huge.

Tuoba Lingtian was no longer the same ignorant boy. Thus, he could see just how valuable to star tempering spring water was. He gratefully said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Good boy. You need to grow up into an even more remarkable cultivator than your grandpa," said Xiang Yangzhan. "Come, let\'s go play in the sky. We\'ll have our reunion after this."

"Ok! I love flying the most! In the past, Vicious One, Two, and Three would always bring me into the sky! But recently, Mother hasn\'t been allowing that," said Tuoba Lingtian.

"Who\'s Vicious One, Two, and Three?" asked Xiang Yangzhan in confusion.

"They\'re three big birds. They can fly very fast!" said Tuoba Lingtian proudly.

The three birds were the same three birds Xiang Shaoyun had brought back from the Dragon Phoenix Academy. They had long grown into Emperors and had probably become Sovereigns. The three were basically Tuoba Lingtian\'s personal mounts.

But since Tuoba Lingtian was still too young and Tuoba Wan\'er did not want him to devote too much of his time playing and roaming around everywhere with the three birds, she had prevented him from flying around with them, depriving him of much entertainment.

Thus, Tuoba Lingtian was naturally overjoyed that Xiang Yangzhan had offered to fly with him into the sky. In any case, he felt a natural sense of closeness toward Xiang Yangzhan due to their blood relation, and he was able to warm up to Xiang Yangzhan quickly.

Neither Xiang Shaoyun nor Tuoba Wan\'er stopped them. This would be the perfect opportunity for the two to deepen their relationship.

While Xiang Yangzhan was enjoying the company of his family, the Di Clan sent some people to the Yu Clan. Since they had failed to complete the marriage after sending over their betrothal gifts, they had to get the gifts back. It was either that or an explanation from the Yu Clan.

It was unknown what the result of their discussion was. After leaving the Yu Clan, they went to the Xiang Clan instead of the Ziling Sect. The Xiang Clan had also ended their seclusion and had taken over a city that they had then named Xiang Clan City. The surrounding organizations had all been subdued by them as well.

Unlike the Di Clan, the Xiang Clan did not have the courage to take over an entire province immediately. After all, they had suffered great losses in the past and had offended too many people. If they expanded too rapidly, they might attract some of their past enemies.

Thus, they had maintained a low profile after leaving seclusion. The Xiang Clan had been able to grow healthily thanks to their incredible bloodline inheritance that granted them lightning physiques, which were extremely rare in the first place. None of the organizations near them dared to offend them.

That day, the Di Clan Gods arrived at the Xiang Clan City, intruded upon their outer courtyard and destroyed it, causing a large number of casualties.
