All Sides Shaken; Kong Wenxuan Earns a Promotion
The Kong Household's "Peacock True Spirit Star" ascended from "Ninth-Grade True Spirit Heaven" to "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Heaven," which was naturally not a big deal in the entire "True Spirit Realm."
After all, although advancing to the next grade of "True Spirit Star" is difficult, the entire "True Spirit Realm" has thousands of "True Spirit Star" spread out across its five domains, so every few years one or two people can successfully advance.
In particular, the lower-grade "True Spirit Star" from the ninth to the seventh rank are always more active in their rise and fall, naturally not attracting much attention.
However, for the various forces in Bifang Commandery, the successful advancement of the Kong Household's "True Spirit Star" undoubtedly caused quite a stir and shocked many people.
In particular, most of the forces in Bifang Commandery knew that the Kong Household had successfully Star Inlaying and advanced to the "Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage" only twenty years ago.
Now, in just about twenty years, the Kong Household has successfully risen from a "Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage" to an "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage"!
The speed, the efficiency, and the success rate truly astonished many people.
What must the Du Household, known as the "Cuckoo," think of this? They've toiled and wasted hundreds of years trying to advance to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit level, constantly expanding their territory and accumulating power, even risking breaking the law to set up the forbidden "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" ritual, only to ultimately fail in Lineage attempt.
What do the "Fire Crow" Ya Household, the "Black Crane" He Household, the "Pit Viper" Fu Household, and the "Wildebeest" Jiao Household, these old "True Spirit Lineage" who have also languished at the ninth or eighth rank for hundreds of years, never daring or able to advance any further, think?
Even the Bi Household family of Bifang, the Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage that rules Bifang Commandery, has been stuck at the Sixth-Grade True Spirit level for over a thousand years, unable to advance any further.
At this moment, in the prefectural governor's office in Bifang Commandery City.
The Bifang Commandery looked up at the sky and saw the Kong Household's "Peacock True Spirit Star" stabilize in the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Heaven." He understood that it had successfully advanced to the eighth rank and couldn't help but sigh, "In just twenty years, they have successfully advanced from Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit position. This speed is not only unprecedented in the history of the True Spirit Realm, but it is definitely among the best!"
"People often say, 'When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven,' it seems the Kong Household has indeed produced an extraordinary talent."
"I just don't know how far you can lead the Kong Household?"
The image of Kong Wenxuan flashed through Bifang Commandery's mind. He knew that the only person in the Kong Household, who had only been able to lead the Star Inlaying family to success for about twenty years, to successfully advance to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit position must be Kong Wenxuan, the magistrate of Peacock County.
After all, the other party was a "powerful person" who successfully completed the "Peacock True Spirit Star" Star Inlaying without any external assistance, and even completed all the "Star Inlaying Trial", directly pushing the "Peacock True Spirit Star" into the ranks of Upper-Class True Spirit Star!
Upon learning this, the Bifang Commandery took Kong Wenxuan very seriously and assigned him the task of searching for the "Demon Race Secret Realm" in the "South Lake Mountains," which was also a kind of test.
And as it turned out, Kong Wenxuan successfully completed the mission, and actually found the "Demon Race Secret Realm" hidden by the Demon Race in the "South Lake Mountains".
In addition, Kong Wenxuan's performance in the "Demon Race Secret Realm" was truly impressive. Whether it was slaying Demon Race and demon blood cultivators as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, fighting against and killing invading "True Martial World" martial artists, or even cooperating with beast taming to kill Third Tier "Lesser Giant Spirit" martial artist, all his performances were surprising.
Bifang Commandery had already decided that as long as the Kong Household did not have any other forces behind them, unlike the "Fire Crow" Ya Household which had ties with some central forces in the Central Domain, he could win them over and support Kong Household.
What he didn't expect was that before he could even begin his efforts to win over and support the Kong Household, they had already successfully advanced to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit level!

This speed is simply too fast. No one would have imagined that the Kong Household could complete the Star Inlaying and Rank Advancement processes in just twenty years. For a typical Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, twenty years is just the beginning.
Seeing the Kong Household's current behavior, the Bifang Commandery couldn't help but have a thought, "Perhaps, even if the Kong Household still has connections with the Central Domain, and some unclear relationship with their former master's family, the ' Azure Luan ' Luan Household, it's not impossible to win them over and support them?"
However, these thoughts only briefly crossed his mind. Seeing that the Kong Household's "Peacock True Spirit Star" had stabilized in the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Heaven," the Bifang Commandery knew that the Kong Household's "Rank Advancement Trial" was over. He immediately took out the "Official Seal of the Bifang Commandery Governor," made a hand Hand Seals, and channeled starlight into the seal, muttering incantations as if submitting a petition or requesting instructions.
"... Now, the Peacock County, Bifang Commandery, Kong Household advanced from the Ninth-Grade True Spirit Peacock True Spirit the Eighth-Grade True Spirit. Therefore, we hereby request that Peacock County, a lower-ranking county, be promoted to a middle-ranking county, with its territory expanded by three thousand li. Kong Wenxuan of Peacock County, is promoted to the eighth-rank magistrate position... Bifang Commandery, Bi Zongcheng submits this request!"
Beep beep!
As the Bifang Commandery activated the "Prefect's Seal," the Bifang image carved on it lit up, and a Bifang cry came from it. A beam of starlight flew out from the seal and went straight into the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" in the sky.
In Peacock County Seat, Kong Wenxuan and the others had regained their senses and were celebrating their Lineage's successful promotion.
Suddenly, several cries were heard from the sky, including the howl of the Bifang, the cry of the deer, and even the cry of the Vermilion Bird.
Kong Wenxuan looked up and saw that the "Bifang True Spirit Star", "Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit Star", and "Vermilion Bird True Spirit Constellation" were faintly appearing in the sky, and a dazzling starlight descended from the sky and shot towards him.
At the same time, he also sensed that the "Peacock County Magistrate's Official Seal" he had refined and mastered was vibrating. Immediately, he took out the "Magistrate's Official Seal" and raised it. The starlight that shot out immediately entered the "Magistrate's Official Seal". The "Magistrate's Official Seal" vibrated slightly, and its spirituality and spiritual light were greatly enhanced.
Kong Wenxuan infused it with his "Spirit Law," and at the same time drew down the starlight of the "Eighth-Grade Peacock True Spirit Star" into this "official seal," re-refining and transforming it, and thus he knew the changes within.
The "Peacock County Magistrate's Official Seal" has been promoted from a ninth-rank official seal to an eighth-rank official seal. This not only represents his promotion, but also signifies that the eighth-rank official seal is significantly improved compared to the ninth-rank official seal. This improvement is not only in the spirituality, radiance, quality, and rank of the "official seal" itself, but also in the greatly expanded scope of control that the "official seal" can exert.
A ninth-rank Magistrate's Official Seal can only control and suppress lower-ranking counties within a thousand li radius, while an eighth-rank Magistrate's Official Seal can control and suppress medium-ranking counties within a three thousand li radius. This means that the Kong Household can continue to expand their territory and increase the area of Peacock County.
At the same time, an eighth-rank county magistrate had more power and benefits than a ninth-rank county magistrate within the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" system.
For example, when using Imperial Dynasty Merit to exchange for resources, spiritual items, treasures, and inheritances in the "Imperial Dynasty Treasury," a ninth-rank county magistrate receives no preferential treatment or reductions, but an eighth-rank county magistrate starts to receive some preferential treatment and reductions. Although the preferential treatment and reductions for an eighth-rank county magistrate are still quite low, it is always a good start.
Kong Wenxuan quickly glanced at the information emanating from the newly appointed "eighth-rank Magistrate's Official Seal" and understood that this promotion was applied for for him by the Bifang Commandery.
Although, with his advancement to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage, "Peacock True Spirit Star" also successfully advanced to the eighth rank, such a promotion was inevitable, it was only a matter of time.
However, the fact that the Bifang Commandery was able to apply for an imperial decree to promote him immediately after the Kong Household was promoted was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill.
At that moment, Kong Wenxuan, holding the "Eighth-Grade Peacock County Magistrate's Official Seal, first bowed in gratitude towards the direction of the Vermilion Bird Mansions in the south, and then bowed in thanks towards the direction of Bifang Commandery City.
