Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Heavenly Dao's Recognition
[ POV: MC ]
"I, Adriana Hailstorm, the daughter of the ninth-geration Hailstorm emperor and empress, with the heavly dao as my witness, declare you as my true successor and heir to the noble Hailstorm Dragon Clan."
My grandmother's declaration erupted like a tsunami, and at the same time, I could feel something change within me as well.
Subconsciously, my divine sse left my body and covered the tire ancestral manor and the suring areas.
From my divine sse, I could still hear the authoritative and cold declaration of my grandmother echoing through the air. Every cultivator in the vicinity clearly heard her words.
"What? The Hailstorm clan's matriarch has recognized a new heir?"
"This matter is not simple..."
"To be directly declared as heir by the matriarch herself, this fellow must be quite important."
"Yes, have you heard the rumors that the first and second princess have returned, and there was a young man who had a big resemblance to the first princess..."
"Now that you mtion it, I did hear that rumor... could it be that young man?"
I could hear the cultivators and guards belonging to the Hailstorm clan murmuring among themselves, trying to guess who had just become their young master.
Suddly, my divine sse picked up a terrifying aura, one that didn't belong to a living being. It felt both oppressive and strangely warm, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
My gaze shot upwards as I noticed the clouds gathering atop the ancestral manor's cter. These clouds were an unusual gold color, and I could sse that the strange aura emanated from them.
Lightning crackled and danced on the mysterious gold clouds, a spectacle of natural forces.
Th, the rain came.
The rainwater consisted of gold-colored droplets as if the heavly dao itself was bestowing its blessings upon the Hailstorm clan.
This phomon shocked not only me but all the cultivators in the territory of the Hailstorm clan.
Ev my grandmother was tak aback. It seemed that she hadn't expected such an extraordinary evt to occur wh she recognized me as the true heir of the clan.
My grandmother, along with the rest of our family, used their sage sses to witness this incredible sight. They all left the ancestral manor and stood beath the heavly rain, allowing its gold drops to soak into their beings.
I joined them, feeling the rain's magical effects as it increased my cultivation. I had already reached the bottleck just after achieving the Supreme Elev Core Formation Realm.
The heavly rain continued for nine minutes, and during this time, I successfully broke through to the lower-stage Nasct Soul Realm.
Simultaneously, as the rain finally came to an d, my left hand began to emit a brilliant glow, and a dragon insignia appeared on its back.
I was now officially acknowledged as the true heir of the Hailstorm clan.
"The heavly dao itself has recognized my grandson. I did not make the wrong decision," my grandmother whispered as she gazed at my hands, her atttion fixated on the newly appeared insignia.
...
Soon, news of the phomon had spread throughout the Azure Dragon Contint. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sam had officially attracted the atttion of both unsavory and virtuous forces.
Inside the Ancestral Manor of the Flareheart Clan, a middle-aged man sat in a lotus position, diligtly gaged in his cultivation.
A figure appeared before this man, promptly kneeling in deferce. It was a man with a significant scar on his face who dared not disturb the middle-aged man's cultivation.
The man, seemingly aware of the newcomer's presce, asked, still with his eyes closed, "What news do you bring? Have you discovered who has awaked the Crimson Inferno Dragon bloodline?"
Ever since the day the incarnation crystal had glowed, indicating the awaking of the Crimson Inferno Dragon bloodline in someone, the patriarch of the Flareheart Clan had ordered a search to locate this individual.
The scar-faced man hesitated for a momt before answering, "...we are not sure."
The middle-aged man oped his eyes and looked at the scar-faced individual with indifferce. "What do you mean you're not sure? Tell me what happed."
"Respected patriarch, the first princess of the Hailstorm Clan has returned, and our people stationed in Iceheart City also spotted a young man with her who bears a remarkable resemblance to the first princess," the scar-faced man explained.
The patriarch's eyes wided, and he questioned, "A young man with the first Hailstorm princess? Are you suggesting...?"
The scar-faced man nodded and continued, "And that's not all. Just today, the matriarch of the Hailstorm Clan recognized that young man as the true heir of the clan. He ev received recognition from the heavly dao, and the clan expericed a heavly phomon...
and one more thing, the matriarch Hailstorm severed her relationship with patriarch Hailstorm and expelled him from the ancestral manor along with his brother."
Upon hearing this, the patriarch Flareheart became silt. It was unclear what he was contemplating.
After a deep sigh, the patriarch Flareheart said, "Continue monitoring, and inform Victoria to go to the Hailstorm Clan to meet the boy on my behalf. Also, instruct my son to refrain from contacting his son."
The scar-faced man nodded and inquired, "Respected patriarch, are you considering bringing the boy to the Flareheart Clan?"
"Ev if I wanted to bring him to our clan, I can't. He has already be recognized as the Hailstorm Clan's true heir, and if this young man possesses such remarkable talt as to trigger a heavly dao phomon, I doubt Matriarch Hailstorm would be willing to allow me to take him to my clan, unless we go to war, of course," the patriarch explained.
He paused for a momt before continuing, "Nevertheless, he is still my grandson, and his karma will always be intertwined with ours, no matter where he is."
The scar-faced man nodded in understanding and was about to depart wh the patriarch stopped him, saying, "And one more thing, sd an invitation to Alexander Hailstorm and his younger brother; I wish to meet with them."
The scar-faced man nodded before disappearing.
'To gain recognition from the heavly dao, he must possess tremdous providce and pottial, and to witness a heavly phomon, he must have brought considerable blessings and providce to the clan. I am ev more intrigued to meet him now,' the patriarch thought to himself, letting out a sigh.
If it wer't for his wayward son, he might have be the one recognizing Sam as the true heir to the Flareheart Clan. It would have be his clan receiving the heavly phomon and blessings.
"There's no point in dwelling on what might have be," he told himself, closing his eyes and returning to his cultivation.
...
In the ancestral manor of the Hailstorm Clan, Sam was reveling in the hospitality offered to him by his grandmother.
The room he was giv was incredibly spacious, complete with an attached bathroom that could easily accommodate a doz people bathing simultaneously.
He lounged on the cloud-like soft bed and sighed conttedly, "This is the life."
"Let's check out the codex," he said, and with that, he activated the codex to display his attribute panel. Suddly, a red-tinted scre appeared in his field of vision, visible only to him.

The first thing that caught his eye was his name. It had previously be displayed as Sam Flareheart, but now it had changed to Sam Hailstorm.
The next important detail was his Immortal Body, which had reached the second stage. "With every major realm I break through, the Immortal Body will advance to the next stage as well," he thought.
With his Immortal Body at the second stage, he could instantly heal any brok limbs without any effort. This was incredibly useful, as it meant he would never need pills or external aids to recover. It provided a significant advantage, especially in prolonged battles.
Satisfied with this progress, he proceeded to check the other sections of the codex.
Just th, there was a gtle knock on the door. Sam got up and oped it to find Amelia on the other side. A smile lit up his face, and he said, "Come on in."
As soon as the door closed, Sam couldn't contain himself and playfully pounced on Amelia, capturing her lips with his own.
Their passionate kissing session began, and Amelia, though tak by surprise, didn't resist. She responded with equal fervor.
