"I have indeed heard a thing or two about the Bai Family of the Imperial City," said the figure who was clearly the Earth Deity of the Earth Temple. He scrutinized Bai Sheng, his gaze lingering on him before he spoke, "Before I became the Earth Deity of Lingchen County, when I was still an annoyance, I once visited the Imperial City and met the then Family Head of the Bai Family."
"That Family Head of the Bai Family... could also be considered a Cultivator whose cultivation reached the heavens. Centuries have passed since then. By various chances and coincidences, I became the Earth Deity of Lingchen County. Meanwhile, the Family Head of the Bai Family whom I visited reportedly was jointly conferred celestial status by the Heavenly Court and the Imperial Court, ascending to immortality," the Earth Deity of Lingchen County said, "The Bai Family must already have, what, five celestial ancestors?"
