Over the years, he had deeply understood this world.

At least, everything that his status allowed him to grasp, he had completely comprehended.

Without any unexpected incidents, through a series of maneuvers that took no more than the time of a stick of incense to burn, Milton Cheney returned to his family within.

The Family Council Chamber.

At this moment, within the Council Chamber, aside from Milton Cheney, there was only one middle-aged man with half-grey hair.

This middle-aged man was precisely one of the only three Foundation Establishers in the Cheney Family, the Family Head, Henry Cheney.

Henry Cheney looked towards Milton Cheney, his gaze containing a mixture of complexity, but predominantly joy.

“Milton, do you know why I summoned you back from the market?”

“The Patriarch Position?”

Milton Cheney said.

Although it was a question, his tone was one of certainty.

Hearing Milton’s words, Henry Cheney nodded.

“Correct, Milton. This time your return will see me announcing you as the next heir to the family within the clan.”

“You only need to protect the family for fifty years.”

Henry Cheney spoke, his tone laced with complexity.

Milton’s talent was too high, already exceeding the limit the Cheney Family could bear.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root, before Milton, he had not even heard of it, let alone seen it.

It was an existence beyond imagination.

In the vast Cultivation Realm, who knows how many cultivators possess the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

He had never intended to use resources to bind Milton to the family for life.

He knew well that shallow waters cannot trap a dragon, so from the beginning, Henry Cheney had no intention of having Milton serve as the Family Head for life.

“No problem, after becoming the Patriarch, I will protect the family for a hundred years and help the clan gain control of the entire Southern Sea sea region.”

Milton Cheney spoke.

Naturally, he wasn’t ungrateful; he remembered well the resources supplied by the Cheney Family to him.

A hundred years, for Milton, was not a long time at all.

After all, if he became a Golden Core True Immortal, he would have a lifespan of eight hundred years just on his own.

In eight hundred years, protecting the family for one hundred years didn’t count for much.

And as for helping the family control the entire Southern Sea sea region, it was merely done in passing.

After all, within the entire Southern Sea sea region, there was no Golden Core family’s presence.

Places with a Golden Core True Immortal often belonged to major sects, not this remote Sea Region.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Upon hearing Milton’s words, Henry Cheney joyfully exclaimed.

With Milton’s promise, he could be completely at ease.

Although he didn’t know Milton’s exact cultivation level at the moment, he knew that at the age of twelve, Milton had already shown a cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now, at the very least, he must be at mid Foundation Establishment Stage.

Here he was, over two hundred years old, only at mid Foundation Establishment Stage, while Milton was only eighteen.

Heavenly Spiritual Root, is it really that extraordinary?

“The family’s second-order Spiritual Vein is now entirely at your disposal for cultivation.”

“Two years from now, you can take over the position of Family Head of the Cheney Family, and then I can rest easy.”

Henry Cheney said, his tone filled with an indescribable joy.

A Foundation Establisher’s lifespan is at most three hundred years, and he had suffered many injuries in his early years.

To live to three hundred was impossible.

……

Time nevertheless flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Golden Sand Sea Island has been unusually lively for the past month.

The reason, naturally, was that the Cheney Family Head Henry Cheney, who controlled Golden Sands Island, was about to cede the Patriarch Position to a twenty-year-old young fellow.

In the entire Southern Sea sea region, this was a rare event.

After all, the fact that Milton was a Heavenly Spiritual Root was known to very few people.

So at first, everyone thought this was a false rumor.

Including the entire Cheney Family, who initially believed it was just a false rumor.

Of course, that was in the beginning.

Now the higher echelons of the Cheney Family were clearly aware of Milton’s situation.

Heavenly Spiritual Root!

Their Cheney Family actually produced a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

This was more than just their ancestors’ tomb emitting green smoke; it was as if the tomb had burst open directly.

Although the upper echelon of the Cheney Family was already clear on the matter, most outsiders and the cultivators at the lower ranks of the Cheney Family were still none the wiser.

Therefore, these days, Golden Sands Island was abuzz with unusual excitement.

People could be found discussing the matter everywhere, using it as a topic of conversation over tea and meals.

After all, there weren’t many forms of entertainment in the Cultivation Realm, and gossip was one of the few available indulgences.

“The Cheney Family is now a Foundation Establishment major family; how could they let a youngster from a branch family take the Patriarch Position?”

In a tavern within the market, many people were still discussing the matter.

It was just too fresh a subject.

No one from the Cheney Family had come out to refute the news, suggesting a high likelihood of its authenticity.

“I heard that the talent of the new Family Head is very high!”

“Very high talent? How high could it be, is it possibly an Earth Spiritual Root?”

“And even if the talent is high, succeeding to the Patriarch Position at twenty is too early. Aren’t the Cheneys afraid that this young man will ruin the family?”

“Stop talking, we’ll understand everything in two days at the succession ceremony.”

The crowd discussed sporadically but in the end could not come to any conclusion.

However, they did understand that the news might not be false.

Indeed, in recent days, members from families in the myriad lakes and sea regions had been steadily arriving in the Golden Sand Sea Region.

Meanwhile, in the Central Region of Golden Sands Island, atop the only second-order Spiritual Vein.

Milton Cheney was running his cultivation method, as Spiritual Power crazily surged into his body from around him.

After a moment, an invisible and intangible membrane was shattered.

The membrane posed no hindrance to Milton Cheney at all. It was as if he was being aided by the current, easily breaking through the barrier.

Above the Spiritual Veins, the turbulent Spiritual Power settled down at this moment.

Milton Cheney’s slightly flushed complexion flashed back to normal in an instant.

“Foundation Establishment Great Perfection without the slightest bottleneck, the Heavenly Spiritual Root indeed offers me great assistance,” Milton Cheney muttered to himself.

It had taken Milton four years to progress from the later stages of Foundation Establishment to Great Perfection.

And during that time, he had experienced no stagnation in his cultivation whatsoever.

It was a seamless transition to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

At this point, Milton Cheney was only one step away from the Golden Core stage.

Once he took that step, he could be called a True Immortal and his lifespan would increase by five hundred years.

Milton Cheney stopped absorbing the Spiritual Power between Heaven and Earth and instead focused on consolidating his current level of cultivation.

Time passed, and two days later.

At Golden Sands Island, within the Cheney Family Residence.

The Cheney Family Residence was teeming with unusual activity at this time.

Those who could come to the Cheney Family at this time were at least at the later stages of Qi Cultivation.

As for the weaker Loose Cultivators, they naturally did not qualify to attend the Cheney Family’s Patriarch succession ceremony.

“The Tide Morgan Family has arrived. We offer our congratulations to the new Head of the Cheney Family and present a bottle of Primordial Elixir and three red fruits as gifts!”

“The Zhao Family from Cloudy Forest has arrived. We offer our congratulations to the new Head of the Cheney Family and present a ‘Brocade River Map’ and one ‘Clear River Sword,’ which is an upper-level magic weapon!”

“…”

“…”

“The Destroyed Sword Sect from the Southern Sea Nation has arrived. We offer our congratulations to the new Head of the Cheney Family and present a… Foundation Establishment Elixir as a gift!”

The doorman, who was reading the announcements, paused for a moment, seemingly doubting what he had read.

But his reaction was swift, and after ensuring he had not read it wrong, his voice grew louder as he continued.

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy Cheney Family Residence quieted down for a moment.

A Foundation Establishment Elixir?

A Foundation Establishment Elixir as a congratulatory gift?

Who dared to be so generous?

Everyone knew that a Foundation Establishment Elixir was considered an incredible treasure throughout the myriad lakes and sea regions.

After the silence, an even greater commotion erupted.

“Did I hear that right? A Foundation Establishment Elixir has appeared among the gifts?”

“You didn’t hear wrong, but the Southern Sea Nation is so far from the myriad lakes and sea regions — why would a sect from there come to the Cheneys?”

“Has anyone heard of the Destroyed Sword Sect?”

“No, I don’t even know what the Southern Sea Nation is.”

Many were whispering to one another, looking around in an attempt to identify someone from the Southern Sea Nation’s Destroyed Sword Sect.

Milton Cheney, who was sitting at the second highest seat, also opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, a hint of surprise flashing through his gaze.

However, he knew that this Foundation Establishment Elixir was probably not so easy to obtain.
