Spring passed and autumn came, and four hundred years went by in the blink of an eye.
At the northeastern corner of Azure Lotus Island, a massive thundercloud floated high in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Upon closer inspection, the thundercloud seemed to be faintly divided into five clusters. It was the Five-Nine Lightning Tribulation, and clearly, a clan member was attempting to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
In the Council Hall, Wang Qingcheng sat in the chief seat with a broad smile on his face, while more than fifty Clan Elders sat on either side, all of them smiling as well.
"Family Head, our clan now has thirty-one Spirit Transformation cultivators, two Void Refinement cultivators, more than seven hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and over forty-five thousand cultivators in total. We control two thousand three hundred and forty-five islands, and we can mobilize ten Spirit Transformation cultivators."
The Wang Family had been developing Desolate Islands all these years, and its influence had continued to expand. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Wang Family's development had slowed down. This was inevitable.
After a period of rapid development, the Wang Family's growth had now become steady. Fortunately, it was still maintaining stable growth.
Puppet Beasts were the Wang Family's greatest source of income. After the Large Beast Tide battle, the Wang Family's Puppet Beasts had made a name for themselves and become immensely popular among cultivators.
The number of Puppeteers in the Wang Family continued to increase. More and more clan members chose to become Puppeteers, specializing in refining Puppet Beasts in exchange for Merit Points.
Wang Qingcheng nodded and instructed, "Keep working hard. You may all go and get busy! Cultivation is the foundation, so don't slack off in your training."
"Yes, Family Head."
