Laying the Groundwork

Han Feng was not opposed to a marriage alliance. After all, in his search for an opportunity to Foundation Establishment, he had once formed a marriage alliance with a female cultivator from the Zhao Clan, his family's enemy.

It was only that after the Zhao Clan had been wiped out, he had also slain that female cultivator.

Han Feng asked doubtfully.

"A marriage alliance? Which faction does Old Ancestor intend for me to marry into?"

Ling Pengyun replied calmly, "The Mountain Sea Qiu Family, the strongest Golden Core Force within five hundred thousand li of Turtle Spirit Island. If the marriage alliance succeeds, after entering that clan, help me investigate whether the Qiu Family truly cannot produce another Pseudo-Core True Person. Then, use that clan's power to help our branch unify Turtle Spirit Island as soon as possible."

"Once this is done, I will help you reach the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm within twenty years."

Han Feng's expression immediately changed in shock.

The Mountain Sea Qiu Family was an extremely famous Golden Core Force in the hundreds of thousands of li of sea around Turtle Spirit Island. In every era, a Golden Core Old Ancestor had overseen the clan.

It was even said that more than two thousand years ago, the clan had been guarded by a full five Golden Core True Persons. It had flourished for a time within the Wood Origin Sea Region, its prestige at its peak.

However, after that, the clan's fortune seemed to have run dry. It gradually began to decline, and a gap emerged in its succession of talent. Fewer and fewer Golden Core cultivators were born within the clan.

This had become especially true over the past thousand years. Not a single Qiu Family cultivator had entered the true Golden Core Realm.
