At the top of the mountain, the Ji Family’s ancestral worship ceremony had officially begun.

Many members of the Ji Family took flight, casting spells in unison. The entire sky stirred, displaying tens of thousands of miles of rosy clouds.

In the sky, Qin Changqing vaguely sensed the presence of even stronger Ji Family experts.

However, a special array formation concealed the scene, even Qin Changqing couldn’t glimpse the whole picture.

This ancestral worship ceremony was quite grandiose indeed.

Qin Changqing noted that there were many observers. Other Holy Lands also sent representatives to watch.

“I heard that occasionally, during the Ji Family’s ancestral worship ceremony, you may receive a response from the Immortal Ancestor. This may be why the Ji Family is able to thrive. I wonder if they will receive a response this time.

“Getting a response is not so easy. The last response seems to have happened tens of thousands of years ago.”

Constant murmuring rose from among the observing cultivators.

This heightened Qin Changqing’s understanding of the Ji Family considerably.

At his side, the Master of Guiyuan Sect remained quiet. She must have heard about or witnessed the Ji Family’s ancestral worship ceremony before, it was under her suggestion that Qin Changqing came to observe it this time.

Time ticked by slowly.

The grandiose ancestral worship ceremony started in the early morning and did not conclude until midday.

“What a pity, the Ji Family’s Immortal Ancestor did not respond.

“The Ancestor of the Ji Family ascended nearly two hundred thousand years ago, they probably forgot about the Ji family by now~”

Some people, not witnessing the Immortal Ancestor of the Ji Family’s reappearance, felt disappointed.

“Next is the selection of the son-in-law. Everyone, perk up.

“I wonder if anyone will be chosen this time.”

Many perked up, enthusiastic anticipation filled the air.

“Qin Changqing, every thousand years after their ancestral worship ceremony, the Ji Family selects grooms for the excellent female cultivators in their family. They welcome outsiders into their family as husbands. They have a unique embroidery ball called the Marriage Fate Ball. It’s said the ball can pick out the most suitable gentleman from the crowd.”

Master of Guiyuan Sect sent a telepathic message to Qin Changqing, explaining the situation.

Qin Changqing: “Master, what if there are no suitable gentlemen in the crowd?”

Guiyuan Sect Master: “Then the embroidery ball will fly back.”

Qin Changqing understood.

This Ji Family was indeed interesting.

Through this method, they probably were selecting outstanding cultivators to marry into the family, thereby continuously strengthening the Ji Family.

Qin Changqing wouldn’t participate in such a process.

Even if he did marry into the family, it would not be beneficial since the system wouldn’t reward offspring he has with them.

His daughters, who were all exceptionally talented and beautiful, did not hold anyone else in high regard, Qin Changqing wouldn’t force them to marry, they were welcome to stay in the Qin Family for their entire lives if they wished.

However, Qin Changqing felt that the Ji Family had no choice in the matter.

Their Immortal Ancestor ascended almost two hundred thousand years ago. The blessings brought by the Immortal Ancestor were not infinite and would gradually decrease over time.

Therefore, to maintain their prosperity, the Ji Family must continually infuse new blood into their ranks.

They didn’t have a golden finger like Qin Changqing.

Merely depending on their own procreation was too inefficient, and not necessarily effective. Hence, they chose to strengthen the Ji Family through marrying in others.

Being a family-style power, it’s challenging for them to recruit disciples on a massive scale like the Holy Lands.

Therefore, the Ji Family had to come up with this method to maintain their strength.

As expected, this round was next in line.

No wonder there were so many people present today. Most of them were young cultivators, and Qin Changqing even saw some of the outer sect disciples he met at the Questioning Heaven Academy.

There were outer sect disciples in the Holy Lands too, such as those with Tier 4 Spiritual Roots. If they were chosen by the Ji Family and became the son-in-law of the Ji Family, their position would naturally surpass being an outer sect disciple of the Holy Land.

There might be cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots among them.

“All of you young talents who wish to join my Ji Family, come to the square in front.”

An expert from the Ji Family with Nascent Soul took flight, announcing the call.

A multitude of young cultivators ascended and took their places.

Qin Changqing naturally wouldn’t join the crowd.

He and the other cultivators stood by, enjoying the spectacle.

Shortly afterward, there were tens of thousands of cultivators on the square.

Estimating the number roughly, Qin Changqing could see there were more than ten thousand on stage.

There were even more spectators outside the stage.

Regarding these tens of thousands of cultivators, they all have decent strength and their aptitudes were not too bad.

Although some might be here to try their luck, most had self-awareness.

Cultivators are indeed concerned with their dignity. A cultivator with poor skill and talent stepping on stage would be laughed at.

Even trying your luck shouldn’t be done in such a manner.

This Ji Family was in the league of the Holy Lands, if a Golden Core Nascent Soul with a Tier 5 or 6 Spiritual Root were to step forward, others may think that they were insulting the Ji Family.

At this moment, the first female descendant of the Ji Family appeared in the sky.

While the woman’s looks were not extraordinary, they were still pretty good compared to others. But in the system, perhaps just seven out of ten. Her cultivation seemed to be at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Qin Changqing found her average, many of the cultivators below had their eyes shining.

There were introductions about the woman’s identity and status. She was the 2090th descendant of the Ji Family, with Tier 5 Spiritual Root, and currently at the Nascent Soul stage.

An embroidered ball fell from the sky, the woman caught it, and after channeling her True Origin into it, the ball lit up.

At this moment, the cultivators had a choice. If they’re not interested in this woman of the Ji Family, they could perform a specific spell above their heads, and the ball would not fall on them.

This woman was not too bad, and not many executed the spell.

Then, everyone watched as she picked up the embroidered ball and threw it.

The embroidery ball flew and flew, swiftly landing above a cultivator’s head.

“Is it me?”

The cultivator seemed in disbelief.

Qin Changqing noticed, this cultivator was a Nascent Soul cultivator, appearing rather young. The quality of his Spirit Root was unknown.

The surrounding cultivators were exceedingly envious.

Thus, this cultivator became the first son-in-law chosen by the Ji Family.

Right after, more and more descendants of Ji Family came forward to throw the embroidered balls. These descendants often had less than perfect Spiritual Roots, usually Tier 4 or below.

The worst one had just Tier 7 Spiritual Root.

The Ji Family probably felt it was beneath them to present anyone worse.

But those who were chosen by the embroidery balls were overjoyed.

Even for that Ji Family descendant with a Tier 7 Spirit Root, there were still a thousand who didn’t cast the spell. In the end, a Nascent Soul cultivator was chosen by the embroidery ball.

A Nascent Soul cultivator married into Ji Family for a descendant with Tier 7 Spirit Root. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator had a slightly lower quality Spirit Root, it was a major gain for the Ji Family.

The Ji Family indeed had their methods.

Like this, it continued till sunset. Over a hundred Ji Family descendants threw their embroidery balls. Among them, the best one was a Ji Family descendant with Tier 3 Spiritual Root.

This should be the last and most important descendant of Ji Family for this session.

Even though this descendant of Ji Family did not have outstanding looks, the Tier 3 Spiritual Root still caused a commotion.

Eventually, the embroidery ball of this Ji Family descendant chose a young cultivator.
