Wherever the Peacock Starlight Shines, All Is Kong Household Land

Soon, more than two hundred cultivators who disembarked from the eleven "Feather Boat" gathered on the shore of "Crescent Moon Lake".

Clan chief Kong Changgeng and Kong Wenxuan expressed their gratitude to the Ya Household's "Fire Crow Feather Boat" for helping transport these cultivators, settled the remaining payment, and then saw the "Fire Crow Feather Boat" off.

Clan Chief Kong Changgeng came before these cultivators. Of the more than two hundred cultivators, about one hundred were from the Kong Household, as well as the three servant cultivator Lineage: the Yan Household, the Ma Household, and the Yun Household.

These cultivators had already trained together at the Kong Household's territory, "Peacock Ridge," and now they quickly lined up in formation on the shore of "Crescent Moon Lake," displaying great order.

As for the other hundred or so cultivators hired from "Demon-Suppressing Pass", they came from all sorts of different backgrounds. At this moment, they gathered together in a chaotic mess, in groups of three or five. Some were looking around, some were chatting and reminiscing, and some were even fighting. There was no order whatsoever.

Seeing this, clan leader Kong Changgeng formed a hand seal, and starlight flew out from between his eyebrows, shooting directly into the sky.

The next moment, the "Peacock True Spirit Star" was summoned and manifested in the sky. The "Peacock True Spirit" appeared above the stars, raised its head and sang a clear song, spread its wings and spread its tail feathers, and dropped a large amount of starlight.

Lili!

The clear cry of Peacock came from the sky, instantly silencing the clamor of the hundreds of cultivators on the shore of Crescent Moon Lake.

The falling starlight possessed a power that suppressed these bloodline cultivators from all sides.

Instantly, the previously chaotic, noisy, and disorderly "hired cultivators" quieted down, looking up at the "Peacock True Spirit Star" that had appeared in the sky. Feeling the starlight pressing down on them, their faces showed longing, apprehension, and fear.

This world is ultimately ruled by the "True Spirit Lineage". Cultivators from ordinary Bloodline Lineage are naturally inferior to cultivators of the "True Spirit Lineage". They are suppressed and ruled by the "True Spirit Lineage" and submit to the "True Spirit Lineage". This is a rule engraved in the blood and bones of all Bloodline Lineage.

Upon seeing the "Peacock True Spirit Star" manifest in the sky, these cultivators all lowered their heads and bowed their backs to show their respect and submission.

Clan Chief Kong Changgeng, seeing that summoning the "Peacock True Spirit Star" had successfully subdued these noisy, unruly, and disorderly cultivators, nodded in satisfaction and then addressed the crowd:

"Very good, welcome fellow Daoists to my Kong Household's Peacock County!"

"I believe everyone here understands your mission. However, to avoid any unpleasantness later, I'll repeat it again."

He raised his hand and pointed in all directions, proclaiming, "With this land as the center, the entire area within a thousand miles is illuminated by the starlight of my Kong Household's ' Peacock True Spirit Star,' and is all the land of my Kong Household."

"The land, rivers, trees, flowers, Demon Beast, Spirit Plant, spirit medicine, soil, minerals, materials, fire, and all other things within this vast area—everything belongs to the Kong Household!"

"They have all been marked by the starlight scattered by the ' Peacock True Spirit Star ' of my Kong Household!"

"Your task is simple: survey and clear this area within a thousand miles. Report any resource points, mineral veins, or spiritual objects you discover, even if it's just a single spiritual herb, a single Spirit Plant, or a single Demon Beast. Also, hand over any slain Demon Beast corpses and materials."

"Our Kong Household will record Contribution Points based on the various spiritual lands, resources, Spirit Plant, spiritual objects, and mineral veins you discover, as well as the rank and number of Demon Beast you clear and kill."

"You can use these Contribution Points to exchange for what you want from our Kong Household: Spirit Stone, spirit medicine, spirit items, spirit materials, pills, Law Artifact, talismans, formations, and other products. You can also exchange them for a piece of land in Peacock County to use as your Lineage's territory for development or as your own cultivation cave abode."

I want to remind you of something!

"Wherever the light of the ' Peacock True Spirit Star ' shines, that is the land of my Kong Household, and all are under the supervision of the ' Peacock True Spirit.'"

"If you desire any resources or spiritual objects within my Kong Household's territory, you may exchange them using Contribution Points, but stealing is absolutely forbidden. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

After the clan leader finished speaking, he formed a hand seal and struck the "Peacock True Spirit Star" that appeared in the air.

The next moment, the "Peacock True Spirit" raised its head and spread its wings, singing and dancing on the "True Spirit Star". A large amount of starlight burst out from the "Peacock True Spirit Star" and fell, scattering across the surrounding area for thousands of miles.

Screech! Roar! Rattle...

Instantly, starlight fell from all directions, and many kinds of Demon Beast and birds that dwelled in the mountains, rivers, forests, and valleys were startled by the starlight, letting out cries and roars.

Some demonic birds and Demon Beast were even startled by the starlight and immediately left their hiding places, fleeing out of the area covered by the starlight.

However, only a minority of the Demon Beast and birds managed to escape, since the places where these Demon Beast and birds roamed were mostly resource-rich areas, where spirit medicine and Spirit Plant grew, or where spiritual materials and objects were produced.

These Demon Beast and birds, dwelling in these spiritual lands and resource-rich areas, grow and increase their strength by devouring spirit medicine, Spirit Plant, materials, and objects, or by absorbing the spiritual Spiritual Qi of these lands.

It's impossible to get them to easily give up these resource-rich areas and spiritual creatures.

These Demon Beast and birds, in particular, have little intelligence or wisdom and rely entirely on survival instincts. They are even less likely to anticipate the dangers behind these "scattered starlight" and thus are even less likely to leave.

Clan Chief Kong Changgeng looked at the starlight scattered in all directions by the "Peacock True Spirit Star" and nodded in satisfaction.

Turning to look at the "hired cultivators," as well as the cultivators from the three servant cultivator Lineage of Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household, they all looked at the "Peacock True Spirit Star" in the sky and the scattered starlight with awe and longing, and became even more satisfied.

"Alright!" After a moment, clan chief Kong Changgeng clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and then ordered, "The expansion operation shall now officially begin."

"According to the previously assigned teams, the cultivators responsible for building houses and constructing the city stepped forward first. Following the instructions of the Second Elder, Kong Changlan, they began to build some houses and courtyards around the area to serve as accommodations for everyone to rest and cultivate here, as well as warehouses for storing various supplies and items."

The cultivators in charge of producing spiritual food, spiritual wine, and daily necessities followed Kong Yujin's instructions and began preparing various supplies for everyone.

"The team responsible for finding, surveying, and hunting the Demon Beast, following the instructions of Kong Yushuo and Kong Wenzhang, will first survey and clear this mountain range."

Clan Chief Kong Changgeng was clearly quite adept at planning these tasks, and quickly arranged the tasks for all parties involved.

This time, he even brought Kong Wenzhang, who had only recently Foundation Establishment, along so that he could train him during the expansion operation.

On the Lineage side, only the third aunt Kong Yuyin, remained to oversee and protect the Lineage and its members.

Finally, he looked at Kong Wenxuan and asked, "Wenxuan, would you like to take a team along for reconnaissance and hunting?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan immediately shook his head and said, "I'll stay here and keep watch, and go into seclusion to cultivate. If we encounter any Demon Beast or enemies that we can't handle, then I'll take action."

"Alright! That's what I think too." Clan Chief Kong Changgeng nodded immediately upon hearing this, saying, "You are the strongest fighting force of our Kong Household. Whether for you or for the Kong Household, the improvement of your cultivation and strength is of utmost importance."
