Five Elements Grotto Heaven, Yuekong Mountain of Yu State, the clan ancestral hall.
On this day, it happened to be the birthday of the Ancestor. Outside the ancestral hall at the back of Yuekong Mountain, the space before the doors was packed densely with people.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the ancestral hall was solemn and awe‑inspiring. Three elders stood in front of the ancestral memorial tablets, silently watching the twenty‑odd younger clansmen below.
Among the crowd below, there were young men around twenty years of age, as well as a few seven‑ or eight‑year‑old snot‑nosed brats. Each of them was holding three long sticks of incense.
