"Silver Scale County, the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family!"

Within the Liang Family ancestral grounds, Liang Zhaohuang was handling routine affairs in his usual office when he reviewed an urgent report delivered by the family's covert network.

Just three hours earlier, within the ancestral grounds of the county magistrate's 'Cloud Water' Lu Family in Silver Scale County of New Sea Commandery, a spiritual energy vortex had appeared—the phenomenon of forming a core, with spiritual energy pouring backward into it!

Clearly, someone in the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family was attempting to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Liang Zhaohuang only gave it a moment's thought before finding it unsurprising.

Back in Ludong County of Luyang Commandery, Yang Province, the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family had already been an old-established county gentry clan with a heritage stretching back several centuries. The family had accumulated considerable foundations.

Later, because the Liang Family had offered a water-element Golden Core-stage inheritance as a reward, the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family chose to follow the Liang Family to the East Sea, pioneering Ying Province and founding New Sea Commandery.

In the process, through sacrifice and military merit, the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family successfully obtained from the Liang Family a water-element Golden Core-stage inheritance suited to their family's cultivation and advancement.

In other words, fifty or sixty years ago, the 'Cloud Water' Lu Family had already grasped the path for their descendants to advance to the Golden Core stage. All they lacked were suitable candidates and conditions sufficient to ensure a Golden Core breakthrough.

Then, more than twenty years ago, demon armies of the Demon Country, led by the Sea-Pacifying King and the Azure Roc King, marched into the East Sea, igniting a great war between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Country in the waters of the Pearl Island
