The birthday boy didn’t appear for a long time, and the topic of discussion among the guests had
already changed several times.
From the weeping female ghost of the Su Clan in Kui Mountain to the fact that Prime Master Fu Tian
had been turned into a malicious ghost, to the little girl from the Yin Clan changing her blood, and
finally to the topic that the Grand State Master might be impotent.
While the topic was getting more and more outlandish, the protagonist finally appeared.
Everyone saw a gust of wind. Then, a burly man appeared on the high platform in the middle of the
courtyard.
He was wearing a custom-made white suit. The emblem of the Caro Clan, the Red Spider Lily, was
embroidered on the suit with golden thread, but it couldn’t hide his bulging stomach.
This person was Caro Xianle and Caro Xianyang’s father, Caro Xianyang.
Caro Xianyang didn’t use a microphone and directly used his spiritual power to send a voice
transmission. He cupped his fists at the guests below the stage and said happily, “I am Caro Xianyang.
On behalf of the entire Caro Clan, I welcome the arrival of all the distinguished guests!”
Caro Xianyang chatted with everyone for a bit before getting to the main topic. “A few days ago, my
clan’s ancestor, my great-grandfather, Sir Caro Zhengyang, finally reached the Prime Emperor
cultivation level after seven hundred years of seclusion! It just so happened that he has turned 800
years old and invited everyone to attend his birthday banquet.”
When they heard this, there was an uproar.
“Sir Caro Zhengyang already has a Prime Emperor cultivation level?”
“The Caro Clan now has a super powerhouse with a Prime Emperor cultivation. The head of the Divine
Moon Empire’s six great families will probably have to give the position to the Caro Clan.”
At the thought of this possibility, everyone quietly looked at Sheng Lingfeng’s table.
No one believed that Caro Xiangfu, as the Patriarch of the Caro Clan, didn’t know that Caro Zhengyang
was still alive.
All these years, the Caro Clan had deliberately gone around amassing wealth and pretending that they
only loved money and didn’t strive to improve. Their goal was to beguile the world’s opinion of the Caro
Clan.
Now that the Caro family’s cultivation had reached the Prime Emperor level, Caro Xiangfu announced
this news at the birthday banquet, and publicly challenged the authority of the Sheng family, the
number one cultivation family.
However, Sheng Lingfeng and his wife, who were being watched by everyone, remained calm and
elegant, as if they didn’t care that their status as the number one cultivation family would be replaced.
In fact, the couple really didn’t care about this.
Whoever wanted to be number one could do so.
When Caro Xiangfu saw that everyone was stunned by the news he had released, he couldn’t help but
feel proud. “Then, next, let’s invite our birthday star to take the stage!”

With that, Caro Xiangfu moved to the side.
No one flew overhead or passed by him. Suddenly, a man appeared out of thin air beside Caro
Xiangfu.
He was called an ancestor, but this ancestor looked even younger than Caro Xiangfu.
He was tall and burly. He looked to be about two meters tall. His burlesque body was hidden under the
custom-made black suit. It looked like the suit would be torn by his muscles in the next second.
The ancestor looked very young. His black hair was long and thick, and he wasn’t bald. Today was a
grand occasion, and in order to show how much he valued it, Caro Zhengyang deliberately tied his long
hair up. Under his smooth forehead, his face was cold and handsome.
He was handsome and overbearing. He had a strong contrast with the short and fat Caro Xiangfu, who
was beside him.
Everyone looked at Caro Zhengyang with awe, as if he was an antique.
He was indeed like an old antique since he had lived for more than 800 years.
When wearing a modern suit, he felt a sense of restraint, unlike the robes from ancient times. Caro
Zhengyang was clearly not used to this style of clothing. As soon as he got on the stage, he
unbuttoned the suit.
The first thing Caro Zhengyang said was, “After seven hundred years of seclusion, the changes in the
Holy Spirit Continent are really shocking! In the era we lived in, there were no mobile phones,
computers, or spacecraft. Even Purifying Spirit Masters didn’t exist yet.”
“I’ve been very busy these days. I’ve been busy learning how to use my phone to make calls.”
“Hahaha!” Hearing Caro Zhengyang’s self-deprecation, everyone laughed kindly.
Before Caro Zhengyang entered seclusion, the world respected Beast Tamers. At that time, there was
no Purifying Spirit Master vocation.
A few days ago, after his seclusion ended, he was very shocked when he found out that a group of
monsters who had failed to awaken their beast form actually transformed into Purifying Spirit Masters
and possessed prestigious identities.
Although he looked down on these Purifying Spirit Masters, the era was different now. Caro Zhengyang
couldn’t offend them.
Caro Zhengyang looked around at the guests below the stage and smiled. “Everyone looks very young.
I actually didn’t find a familiar face. Could it be that the old fellows who lived in the same generation as
me have already died?”
Someone below replied softly, “There aren’t many who are still alive, right?”
Upon Caro Zhengyang looked at Sheng Lingfeng’s table and asked, “Patriarch Sheng, is Sheng Tianya
still alive?”
Sheng Lingfeng stood up and replied, “Sir, my great-grandfather passed away 200 years ago.”
“Ah, she’s really gone.” Caro Zhengyang stared at Liuli Xiangsi again and shouted, “Madam Liuli, is
Liuli Pingting still alive?”
Liuli Xiangsi supported herself on the table and stood up. She bowed to Caro Zhengyang and said
gently, “Thank you for your concern. The Grand Master died 300 years ago.”
Caro Zhengyang asked the names of a few more old friends. When he found out that they had all died,
he immediately became dejected. “I didn’t expect that after seven hundred years, all my old friends
would actually be gone. I actually became the one who has lived the longest.”
Suddenly, someone said, “Mr. Caro, the Grand State Master is still here!”
Caro Zhengyang’s smile suddenly faded a little. “Oh really? Is that so? The Grand State Master is very
capable. I will personally visit this old friend someday.”
“Good wine and delicacies have been prepared. I won’t say anymore nonsense. Everyone, eat and
drink.” With that said, Caro Zhengyang walked to the birthday star’s armchair and sat down.
Yu Huang asked Madam Sheng, “Does this old man have a grudge with the Grand State Master?” She
felt that Caro Zhengyang didn’t seem too happy when he heard the Grand State Master’s name.
Madam Sheng explained in a low voice, “Before Caro Longsha got married, she pursued the Grand
State Master crazily. However, the Grand State Master wasn’t interested in romance and rejected her
mercilessly. After being rejected by the Grand State Master, Caro Longsha got married to Mr. Caro.”
“Later on, someone mocked Mr. Caro for picking up the Grand State Master’s leftovers.”
Yu Huang was enlightened. No wonder Caro Zhengyang lost his smile when he heard her adoptive
father’s name. So he was his old love rival.
At this moment, the servants began to order the dishes. The accountant also walked out with the gift
book and sat down behind a table.
Seeing that the accountant had come out, the guests brought their birthday gifts to register.
The Eldest Young Master of the Teng Family of the Blazing Realm Continent brought his sister to stand
in front of Caro Zhengyang. The Teng Family’s Young Master was holding a tray with something
covered by a red cloth.
The two of them bowed to the birthday boy. Then, the sister removed the red cover and revealed a fiery
red stone.
The Teng Family’s Young Master said loudly, “Teng Family of the Teng Family of the Blazing Realm
Continent, Teng Yu, and my sister, Teng Fei, on behalf of my father, Teng Jue, have come to
congratulate Mr. Caro on his 800th birthday! We’ll give you a piece of jade. I hope you can live as long
as the heavens!”
Blazing jade was a type of strange stone that could temper one’s spiritual energy. If one wore it on
one’s body, the spiritual energy in one’s body would be tempered at all times and become even richer.
On the other end, the accountant hurriedly wrote down the gift.
Then, Feng Tang appeared with his brother, Feng Si.
“Feng Tang of the Feng Clan of the Ice Domain Continent, along with my younger brother, Feng
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuncheng, and my father, Feng Bole, wish Mr. Caro a happy birthday. We’ll give Mr. Caro two bottles of
Ice Crystal Jade Liquid. We wish Mr. Caro good luck!”
…
There were many guests invited to attend the birthday celebration. Just giving the gifts lasted for more
than two hours. Fortunately, everyone ate as the gifts were given, so it wasn’t boring.
Kong Qing buried his head in his food. When he was about to be full, he heard Lin Jiansheng say,
“Don’t eat anymore. I’ll give you the gift. Go and give it to him.” As he spoke, Lin Jiansheng handed a
gift box to Kong Qing.
Kong Qing subconsciously wanted to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, but Lin Jiansheng stuffed a tissue
into his hand. “Use the tissue. Don’t dirty your suit.”
Kong Qing obediently wiped his mouth with a tissue.
Kong Qing picked up the gift box and jumped off the stool to follow the gift.
Seeing Kong Qing carrying the gift box and preparing to give the gift, Yin Mingchong deliberately
mocked Lin Jiansheng. “Saint Ling Xiao, how can you let a child give the gift when an adult is sitting
here?”
Lin Jiansheng retorted with a smile, “Grand Master Yin, you can also send your son.”
Everyone knew that Grand Master Yin only had one daughter and no son.
Lin Jiansheng was mocking Yin Mingchong for not having a son.
Yin Mingchong’s expression instantly darkened.
Everyone at the table lowered their heads and ate their food, pretending not to hear their tit-for-tat
conversation.
…
Kong Qing stood in the aisle and looked up at Caro Zhengyang, who was sitting steadily on the
armchair. He took a deep breath and walked forward with the gift box.
There were two people waiting in line for gifts in front. Kong Qing stood behind the two adults.
The closer he got to Caro Zhengyang, the stiffer Kong Qing’s limbs became.
Lin Jiansheng had already put down his chopsticks. He held a wine glass in his hand and sipped on it,
but his gaze was fixed on Kong Qing.
Finally, after the first two people finished presenting their gifts, it was Kong Qing’s turn.
Caro Zhengyang saw a child walking over. The child wasn’t tall, and he was wearing a custom-made
suit with golden threads. His eyes were as green as a spring in the forest, and he was outrageously
beautiful.
Caro Zhengyang stared at those green eyes for two more seconds before another woman’s beautiful
face suddenly flashed across his mind. That woman also had a pair of beautiful green eyes.
The child’s voice attracted Caro Zhengyang’s attention—
“Lin Kongqing, on behalf of my father, Saint Ling Xiao, Lin Jiansheng, wishes Mr. Caro happy birthday.”
As he spoke, Lin Kong hugged the box and approached Caro Zhengyang in small steps.
