Strictly speaking, Tang Luo’s coming-of-age ceremony should have taken place in the early autumn of his thirteenth year. However, since the entire Tang Clan believed he would successfully enter the Martial Saint Mountain, no one brought it up.

Then, he unfortunately lost all his cultivation. Subsequently came the opening of the Astral Pavilion by the Astral Child. It was not until he demonstrated his supreme cultivation at the clan meeting earlier this year that he once again returned to the center of the Tang Clan’s attention.

Although he had long known that his coming-of-age ceremony would be grand, the guest list still made Tang Luo somewhat dazed. Thirteen Elders of the Tang Clan, seven of which were present, along with the Clan Leader Tang Zhi, Clan Keeper Tang Zu, Mount Guardian Tang Kuan, Law Keeper Tang Lan, Head of the Wind Media Department Tang Feng, Head Instructor Tang Bin, Martial Ancestors Tang Zhen and Tang Qian, and his grandfather Tang Hao.

Almost all of the key power holders in the current generation of the Tang Clan were present. Their participation in such a ceremony on this exceedingly busy day indicated that the entire Tang Clan acknowledged Tang Luo’s contribution. Otherwise, why would a fifteen-year-old boy be worth the effort of so many important figures all coming together?

Since his mother was not present, only his father Tang Sen was there from the main family, along with his younger brother Tang Xing. Being a man of few words, Tang Sen entrusted Tang Hongtao, the esteemed teacher, with the duty of playing host to their guests.

The coming-of-age ceremony consists of three parts and is only deemed complete once all are meticulously executed.

The first stage: Abandoning Juvenile Will, symbolizing the severance of dependency on the clan and becoming an independent adult. This signifies the death of the youthful self.

This stage takes place on the eve of the ceremony, with father Tang Sen cutting Tang Luo’s hair and burying the trimmings. He then puts on a dark crown, formal attire, ties the belt, steps into plain shoes, and sits in the eastern part of the ceremony hall to welcome the guests when the time comes.

The second stage is where Tang Luo, wearing the ceremonial robe, is bestowed with his adult crown in the ceremony hall, led by their host.

The ceremonial robe is a long cloak with golden threads, which is draped over his body without a belt, indicating the solemnity of the occasion.
