Though it couldn’t compare to the three great Dragon Veins of Yuzhou, this place was still a first-rate treasure land. Abundant in Spiritual Qi and rich in resources, it had been meticulously managed by the Tang Family for tens of thousands of years.

At the peak of a high mountain, the new Patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Zhenghong, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, surveying the surrounding scenery with a pleased expression.

The previous Patriarch had been his own elder brother. Not long ago, while exploring the ruins of an Ancient Cave Mansion, he was trapped by an Array Restriction inside. His physical body disintegrated, and only his shattered Nascent Soul barely managed to escape.

Due to his grievous injuries and a vicious curse he had been afflicted with, even the Supreme Elders of the Tang Family were helpless.

That Patriarch barely held on for a few days. After settling his final affairs, he sorrowfully passed away.

After a series of intricate power plays, forged alliances, and betrayals, Tang Zhenghong finally defeated his many powerful rivals and seized the Patriarch’s throne.

Having grasped great power, the ambitious and high-spirited Tang Zhenghong was naturally eager to make his mark.

At present, there seemed to be no major issues within or outside the family; all he needed to do was continue its development and operations according to plan.

The only exception was the matter of tracking down the Child of Destiny. The lack of progress had made the family’s upper echelons anxious.

One of the key reasons Tang Zhenghong was able to secure his position was the guarantee he had made to the Elders that he would undoubtedly track down the Child of Destiny.

Now that he was the Patriarch, it was time to put his plan into action.

Several lavishly dressed women, each with a breathtaking and unique beauty, stood a short distance away. Among them was the noble, elegant, and stunningly beautiful Tang Wanying.

"...Word has come from the Liuying Family and Lu Hua Palace. They propose that our families join forces to track down the Child of Destiny."

After a long silence, Tang Zhenghong finally said slowly,

"I’ve already seen the plan they drafted. The chances of it succeeding are slim.

If we want to find the Child of Destiny, we can’t rely on their methods. We have to depend on ourselves."

The women looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Among the Nine Great Families, the Tang Family’s ranking was relatively low. In terms of both strength and influence, they were a far cry from the Liuying Family and Lu Hua Palace.

But Tang Zhenghong wasn’t discouraged. In the vast Cultivation Realm, not everything could be solved with strength alone.

He believed that as long as the Child of Destiny joined their family, it would take less than a century for the Tang Family to undergo explosive growth. Talented experts would emerge one after another, their overall strength would skyrocket, and surpassing the families ahead of them would be no problem at all.

"Patriarch, then what exactly should we do?"

Tang Wanying mustered her courage and asked.

Tang Zhenghong smiled. "Since the Secret Method of Celestial Secret Calculation is not feasible, let’s use the simplest method!

The family’s intelligence network has already established contact with certain factions within the Deep Sea Dragon Race. I’ve had them keep a close watch on those few Dragon Princesses, especially Luo Qingxuan and Queen Bai Qingyi.

Of course, the one most worthy of our attention is Luo Qingxuan. I hear she’s currently in Cultivation in Seclusion. Once she comes out, she will definitely try to find the Child of Destiny."

"Them..."

Tang Wanying looked slightly taken aback, but then she immediately understood.

’As the only woman to have had intimate contact with the Child of Destiny, Luo Qingxuan’s movements are naturally under the close watch of all the major powers.’

’If there’s anyone in this world who can find the Child of Destiny, it would probably be Luo Qingxuan.’

’As long as we watch her closely, we’ll have a chance to find clues leading to the Child of Destiny through her.’

"So, you don’t need to do anything else right now. Just focus on improving your Cultivation,"

Tang Zhenghong said. "When news arrives, you will set out. A Supreme Elder will escort you in secret. Once you meet the Child of Destiny... as for what to do next, I don’t need to spell it out for you, do I?"
