After Yang Qingxue, Liu Qingying, and Jiang Xuefeng entered secluded cultivation one after another, Liu Changxu's life returned to a relatively leisurely routine.
Aside from practicing dual cultivation with his wives and guiding his children's cultivation, Liu Changxu spent his days refining artifacts and cultivating. He left the Liu Lineage's daily affairs to his son Liu Fuba, who served as Clan Head.
After advancing to the body integration realm, Liu Fuba abandoned his own Dao path and devoted most of his energy to the Liu Household's affairs.
His father, mother, and other mothers had little interest in managing the lineage, his eldest sister Liu Fujiao had married out, and his younger siblings' cultivation was too low. As a result, Liu Fuba held almost all the power within the Liu Lineage.
Even so, Liu Fuba remained dissatisfied. He was deeply fixated on founding an immortal dynasty and brought it up before his father Liu Changxu whenever the slightest opportunity arose. His burning enthusiasm suggested that he would never rest until he achieved his goal.
At first, Liu Changxu was firm and rejected Liu Fuba's proposal outright. Looking at his ambitious son, he patiently explained:
"Ba'er, there is something you don't understand. Penglai Island's population is still limited, and its territory is quite small. With a foundation like this, any immortal dynasty we established would stand on unstable ground. It would be difficult to succeed."
But Liu Fuba was not someone easily frightened off by difficulties. Once his stubborn streak took hold, he decided to find a way around the obstacle.
He turned his attention to his mother and his father's other wives. Liu Fuba knew that the influence these women wielded within the lineage could not be underestimated. If he could secure their support, half the battle would already be won.
