The Lineage Cemetery, Returning to Demon-Suppressing Pass
After bidding farewell to the First Elder Kong Changsen, Kong Wenxuan visited the graves of the Third Elder Kong Changfeng and his Fourth Uncle Kong Yuzhen.
During the three years he was in seclusion, six cultivators from his Lineage at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer of Qi Refining attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but failed three times out of three attempts.
Of the three who failed, only the First Elder Kong Changsen failed before reaching the final step and suffered a backlash, barely surviving with a crippled body. The other two who failed both degenerated into Demon Beast and were forced to be killed with tears in their eyes by the clan leader, the eldest uncle, and others. They were the Third Elder Kong Changfeng and the Fourth Uncle Kong Yuzhen.
The two degenerated into the corpses of Demon Beast. After collecting Peacock Feather to refine them into "divine swords" and "talismans" Law Artifact artifacts, they were burned to ashes by the clan leader and others and buried on the mountain range in the "fragment of the secret realm".
Because the Lineage has decided to expand their territory in the southern mountains and build their own "Peacock County Seat", this clan land "Peacock Ridge" is destined to be abandoned by them in the end.
At that time, they would neither be able nor have the capacity to uproot and take away "Peacock Ridge" and relocate it to the Lineage's new territory, "Peacock County".
Therefore, over the past three years, the Lineage has begun to move some of the assets, resources, and land that can be moved to this "secret realm fragment" in advance, so that after the Lineage expands into "Peacock County" in the future, these assets, resources, and land can be moved to "Peacock County" together through this "secret realm fragment".
Among them are parts of the Azure Cloud Bamboo, the Feather Robe and Feather Fan Law Artifact Refining Workshop, the Spirit Brewing Workshop, the Lineage Warehouse, the Scripture Pavilion, and the Lineage Cemetery.
Therefore, the Lineage cemetery was moved into this "fragment of the secret realm" long ago, and the ashes of the two elders who failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and fell into Demon Beast and were killed were also buried in this "fragment of the secret realm" cemetery.
In the Lineage cemetery within the "Fragment of the Secret Realm," Kong Wenxuan saw the graves of the Third Elder, Kong Changfeng, and his Fourth Uncle Kong Yuzhen. He said nothing, only sighed softly, offered some fruits and vegetables as sacrifices to their graves, bowed, and then turned and left the "Fragment of the Secret Realm."
The Third Elder, Kong Changfeng, was in charge of the Lineage's Clan Law Hall and patrol team during his lifetime. Kong Wenxuan's first task in the Lineage was to join the Lineage's patrol team to patrol around the Lineage's territory and protect the Lineage's territory and people.
Therefore, he had dealt with the Third Elder Kong Changfeng quite a bit, and was considered his former superior.
As for the fourth uncle, Kong Yuzhen, he worked under the second elder Kong Changlan, handling daily affairs for the Lineage in the Lineage affairs hall. Kong Wenxuan did not have much interaction with him.
However, regardless of how deep or shallow their relationship was, both of them have now perished, even degenerating into Demon Beast. Therefore, their bodies had to be burned to ashes, leaving only their ashes to be buried here.
Kong Wenxuan naturally had nothing to say, and could only sigh softly before leaving.
He knew that as the Lineage continued to grow and move forward, more familiar and unfamiliar family members and relatives would be buried in this Lineage cemetery.
Some died fighting for their Lineage on the battlefield, some failed in their breakthroughs and fell into Demon Beast, forcing them to be killed, and of course, some died of old age, and so on.
Those who embark on the path of cultivation seek immortality, but along the way they will witness too much death. In the end, how many of their clansmen and relatives will be able to keep up with them and walk with them to the very end?
However, Lineage Kong Wenxuan only sighed slightly in his heart before suppressing and discarding all these thoughts and Peacock Bloodline.
The Lineage was just starting out, and familiar clansmen and relatives were still around, waiting for him to lead the Lineage Lineage expand its own territory and county, and to lead them to create a more glorious future for the Lineage.
In this situation, where would he find the time or energy to wallow in melancholy or mourn the passing of loved ones?
Therefore, after leaving the "Fragment of the Secret Realm", Kong Wenxuan made some preparations and then bid farewell to the clan leader, his parents and others, left the Lineage's territory, and headed towards the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" and the mountains to the south.
Unfortunately, the Lineage's only Second Tier "Feather Boat" is with their eldest uncle Kong Yushuo.
For the past two years, my uncle has spent most of his time exploring the southern mountains to find suitable places for the Lineage to expand their territory. Naturally, he needs to have sufficient speed to ensure this, so the clan leader had long ago given him the Second Tier "Feather Boat".
As a result, Kong Wenxuan now has to travel on his own to reach "Demon-Suppressing Pass" to reunite with his uncle Kong Yushuo.
He had already contacted his uncle through the communication Jade Slip and agreed that they would meet at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" and then his uncle would take him deep into the southern mountains to see the three selected places in person.
As for the Lineage refining a new "Feather Boat," not to mention that the family currently does not have suitable Second Tier "Peacock Spirit Bird" materials for refining the Feather Boat, even if the family members choose to refine "Five Elements Talisman Slips" and learn the various alchemy, artifact, talisman, and array inheritances in the "Five Elements True Scripture," they have only been learning for three years and can basically only be considered beginners. How could they possibly have the ability to refine Second Tier "Feather Boat"?
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan still had to travel on his own.
Fortunately, with his current cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, although he cannot yet fly in and out of the Azure Sky on a sword, he can still fly short distances on a flying sword.
On his way to the "Demon-Suppressing Pass", Kong Wenxuan rode on the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword", soaring three feet off the ground. Although it did not reach the speed of sound, it was no slower than the speed of an ordinary "Feather Boat".
Unlike the "Feather Boat," which can fly high in the sky and directly cross mountains and valleys, it must fly along the paths carved out on the ground, often having to travel around mountains and rivers.
In addition, traveling on a sword consumes too much of his Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness, so Kong Wenxuan often needs to stop for a period of time to recover his Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness before continuing his journey.
Thus, although it would normally take a little over a day to reach the Demon-Suppressing Pass by piloting the "Feather Boat," it took Demon-Suppressing Pass Kong Wenxuan four days to arrive by traveling on his sword and flying along the way, even without paying attention to others or making any unnecessary delays.
This left him feeling rather helpless, and he increasingly felt that the Lineage needed more "Feather Boat"!
Otherwise, even if the Lineage successfully develops and establishes "Peacock County" deep in the southern mountains, the nearest town, "Cuckoo Town," will be far away, requiring a large number of "Feather Boat" for communication in the short term, otherwise it will become a place isolated from the world and without any help.
This will undoubtedly cause many inconveniences for the development of the Lineage.
"Unfortunately, in just three years, not a single ' Peacock Spirit Bird ' raised by the Lineage has advanced to the Second Tier. Even if one had, it wouldn't be appropriate to slaughter it directly to refine the ' Peacock Feather Boat.' Instead, it should be transformed into ' Peacock Dao Soldiers ' to enhance the Lineage's strength."
"It seems that if we want to increase the Lineage ' Feather Boat ' in the short term, we either have to buy them or try to obtain some suitable materials for refining ' Feather Boat ' during the expansion wars."
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Kong Wenxuan passed through the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" checkpoint and entered the Demon-Suppressing Pass once more.
