244 Chapter 244 (1/2)

”About the banquet?”

”Yes, the ship the Patriarch left on arrived the other day, he apparently killed one of the sect leaders that we were subservient to…”

”Do you think we will be going to war?”

Two sect members were talking to each other. Rumors had reached everywhere now, the death of Zhan Jie was no small matter. It could be the prelude to another extinction event like a war.

”What are you two mumbling about!”

Another female member from the sect walked out to interrupt the conversation.

”Stop talking about nonsense while the Matriarch is…”

The woman didn't get to finish her sentence as the whole area around them rumbled. The people here were tasked with watching over security around the Patriarch's mansion. In it, the Matriarch was apparently giving birth to her next child. The whole process had already lasted through a few days.

Suddenly the clouds parted, the ground rumbled and the beasts around the whole sect started howling loudly.

Everyone in the sect could feel that something strange was happening. They all looked to where the clouds were opening. A bright ray of light descended onto the residence of their Patriarch.

Zhang Dong's home was right up in the sky overlooking the whole sect. Due to this everyone in the whole sect and even the city could see this strange phenomenon. It was as if God himself was descending down and illuminating the path.

”What is happening? Are we being attacked?”

Someone asked while looking around. The ground was shaking, the tremors were concentrated on where the large castle in the sky was.

Suddenly a large golden beam of light shot out from this flying building. It bathed the surrounding area in its light causing the rumbling to cease. Soon a large rainbow appeared illuminating the floating castle and pointing right at the Patriarch's villa.

”This isn't an attack… that's…”

”By the immortals, That's the elusive phantasm rainbow…”

Right after the sect member could finish the rainbow started shifting in scope. It became larger and larger, finally turning into a huge rainbow dragon that gave out a ferocious roar. The image of the beast soon faded and the clouds closed themselves up as if nothing had transpired. The people that witnessed this strange occurrence had their mouths agape.

”Was that the Empyrean Rainbow Dragon?”

Everyone shook violently while looking up into the sky.

”This is truly a good sign, a dragon has been born, it must be the Patriarch's child!”

The people started rejoicing in the streets. A strange phenomenon like this meant a couple of things. First that the child that was born this day was blessed by the heavens. It also signified that the youth would be quite the character and should be primed to become a powerful master. That is if he managed to reach his true potential.

His current appearance wasn't that great. He looked as if he had lost some weight during this process. His long hair was disheveled along with his robe that was drenched in sweat.

Even though he was tired he used the rest of his strength to stand up. He moved forward towards the bed that his wife gave birth in. He moved his hair to the side and straightened himself out.

He could see a tiny person rolled up in a towel being held by his wife. She looked even more tired than he was but she was still conscious. She was looking at the tiny person that just escaped her belly.

”Congratulations Patriarch, it's a healthy boy.”

One of the nurses told him as he moved closer. He could hear his son crying his little eyes out. He was given a smack to the bottom by the nurse as he took his first breath.

Zhang Dong moved closer and looked at his newborn child. He did a quick examination to check if the boy was healthy, to his surprise he was more than that.

'Heavenly Body constitution?'

He could see his son's statics and they were quite pristine. His potential was a whooping A++, the highest that he had ever seen in this world. He also possessed a special constitution, from what he knew such a boon would hasten his progress.

He would be primed for the heavenly Dao, which was something he himself was good at. He did practice the Heavenly Lightning arts, this meant that his child took after him more than his mother. This was the reverse of what happened with his daughter that was more inclined towards her mother's Dao.

”He has your eyes.”

Zhang Liena called out weakly while looking at Zhang Dong. He had momentarily stopped moving but after hearing his wife he moved closer and grasped her hand.

”You think so?”

He looked at the little munchkin that came out of his lovely wife. His skin color was a bit more inclined to her's. He did have his eyes though and also the white hair color that Zhang Dong was known for. This might have been the effect of having that rare constitution though.

”Do you want to hold him?”

Liena asked in a tired tone, even though she was a nascent soul practitioner she was quite tired. This birth was a lot harder than the previous one and it was probably due to his son's special trait. Nothing good came easy in this world.

Zhang Dong gently grasped the wrapped up baby that was still crying and was sure to hold his head up. This wasn't the first time he was holding a newborn so he wouldn't be making the same mistakes again.
