Rewards, a Celebration Banquet, and a Chance to Cultivate in the Core Formation Eye of the Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation
This wasn't Kong Wenxuan's first time using such Starlight Teleportation; he already had plenty of experience. Looking at the flowing starlight around him, with his current cultivation and strength, he still couldn't sense the spatial changes as he traversed the void.
As the starlight faded, he discovered that the crowd had already reached the city of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture," where a victory celebration was being held.
This was the first time Kong Wenxuan and his group had visited this prefecture. Apart from their Lineage caravan, the Kong Household members usually only went as far as Bifang Commandery City, and they were mostly active within a county. It was rare for them to be able to reach this prefecture.
At this time, a victory celebration banquet was being held, and Kong Wenxuan and others did not have time to carefully tour and sightsee the city of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture". However, at first glance, they could already tell that the city was vast and large, far exceeding the size of any prefecture city they had ever seen before.
The palaces, bustling streets, and lively, festive atmosphere were far beyond what other counties could match.
As for the rich Spiritual Qi and active spiritual energy in this state capital, it naturally far surpasses what they have seen in the past.
Kong Wenxuan even felt that if he were to cultivate in seclusion in this "state city" and refine and enhance the "Five Elements Divine Swords," it might slightly accelerate his sword-forging cultivation speed.
Although this environment is not as good as the "Pseudo-Innate" places in the core of the "Origin-Securing Grand Formation", it is far superior to the prefecture cities and county towns in various places.
"The Kong Household, the Seventh-Grade Peacock True Spirit,' please follow me!"
Before Kong Wenxuan and the others could take a closer look at the city, cultivators arranged by the Lu Household arrived to greet and guide them to their seats at the victory banquet.
These guiding cultivators were not from the Lu Household, but were all servant Lineage of the "Extended Net Moon Deer" Lu Household.
However, Kong Wenxuan noticed that these servant Lineage also had starlight swirling around their brows, indicating that they too were cultivators from the "True Spirit Lineage".
The Bi Household, Geng Household, and Huo Household families, which control a prefecture and are considered "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, are still able to support some servant cultivator Lineage to successfully "Star Inlaying" and become "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
The Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household, ruling over an entire prefecture, possesses strength and resources far exceeding those of the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage in various counties. Supporting some of their subordinate servant Lineage to become "Star Inlaying"Low-Grade True Spirit Lineage is naturally much easier for them.
Therefore, in the city of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture", and even in the Lu Household "Extended Net Moon Deer", there are many servants, attendants, and maids serving the Lu Household. These servants are directly members of the "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage supported by the Lu Household.
The Lu Household held a victory celebration banquet, and the various servant tasks such as welcoming guests, guiding people, and even serving food and drinks were naturally carried out by the cultivators of these "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
Although these people were all servants and attendants in the Lu Household, they were still cultivators from a "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage. Therefore, Kong Wenxuan and the others did not dare to be negligent and bowed respectfully to thank them for welcoming and guiding them.
Then, led by these cultivators, they went directly to the place where the celebration banquet was being held in the city of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" and, under their guidance, entered the celebration banquet arranged for them.
The Kong Household was merely a "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage. Even though Kong Wenxuan had made many contributions in the previous battle, and could even be said to have single-handedly changed the course of the battlefield, he could only sit in a corner at this victory celebration banquet.
Here, those sitting around the Kong Household were all from the "True Spirit Lineage" of various counties within the "Bifang Commandery," while those sitting in front were from the Bi Household of "Bifang."
Clearly, the seating arrangement at this victory celebration banquet was based on the division of the counties.
As for the servant Lineage and ordinary Bloodline Lineage from various prefectures and counties who were also conscripted to participate in the war, they were not qualified to participate in such a victory celebration banquet at all.
The many military achievements they made on the battlefield would be directly attributed to their respective masters.
As for their compensation and rewards, these would be handled by their respective masters.
If their master is kind enough, perhaps they can also give these servant Lineage and ordinary Bloodline Lineage enough compensation and rewards, and even let them share some of the reward treasures and exchange resources provided by the "Extended Net Moon Deer" Lu Household.
The celebration banquet had not yet begun, and the cultivators from various factions were not all sitting quietly in their seats, but were moving around, exchanging information and visiting each other.
Upon seeing this, Kong Wenxuan and the clan leader left their seats and went to the Bi Household's seating area to visit the Bi Household members who had come to attend the celebration banquet. He greeted and chatted with Bi Zongcheng, Bi Yanhong True Lord, Bi Yanyu True Lord, True Person Bi Qingqing, and Bi Yanshu True Person, whom he was familiar with.
Then he chatted with the members of the "Fire Crow" Ya Household who had come to the banquet.
In this great battle, the "Fire Crow" Ya Household also suffered heavy casualties, even more so than the Kong Household. One of the three Golden Core True Person of the Ya Household perished in the battle, namely the later newly promoted Ya Tianyu True Person.
Yo! Yo yo!
Soon after, the cries of deer echoed in the sky, and the sounds of drums and bells began to resound around the victory banquet below, signifying the start of the celebration.
Kong Wenxuan and the others immediately returned to their seats and looked toward the main seats at the head of the "victory celebration banquet".
There, a Nascent Soul female ruler from the Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household took the stage, recited a eulogy, explained the cause and effect of the great battle, and paid tribute to the cultivators and heroic spirits who sacrificed and died in this great battle.
Then Gao Song delivered a battle report, celebrating the glorious victory in this great battle.
In the battle report, the Lady of the Lu Household detailed the merits and achievements of the "True Spirit Lineage" in various prefectures and counties, and also tallied the number of merits of each family.
This time, Kong Wenxuan played a significant role in the great battle, even single-handedly influencing the entire battlefield. He killed hundreds of Fourth Tier enemies and desperately resisted the attack of a Fifth Tier "Rushou Cultivator," protecting most of the cultivators from the three prefectures supporting the "Qinggeng Commandery" battlefield. He was truly meritorious.
But this time, his achievements don't even rank first, or even in the top ten.
The top ten are basically Lineage "Middle-Grade True Spirit" from various counties, as well as their Nascent Soul True Lord, Spirit Transformation Monarchs and other cultivators.
After all, the True Lord and Divine Monarchs of these "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, as long as they kill one or Sixth Tier enemies of the same Fifth Tier, the merits they have made far exceed those of Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household.
No matter how many Fourth Tier enemies he kills, it doesn't compare to the contribution of these Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation in killing a single Fifth Tier or Sixth Tier enemy.
Even in this ranking of merits, the Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household did not include themselves; otherwise, the Kong Wenxuan family and the Kong Household would have been ranked further down.
However, Kong Wenxuan was already satisfied with this. Although he could not compare with the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage in the various prefectures, as well as their Nascent Soul Low-Grade True Spirit Nascent Soul True Lord and Spirit Transformation God Monarchs, he ranked first among the "lower-grade True Spirit" Lineage in the seven prefectures. The number of merits he had made was over a thousand, far exceeding those of the "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
Moreover, after recognizing the merits, the Lu Household directly announced their reward scheme, which included various Spirit Stone, pills, and spiritual materials as rewards based on individual contributions, as well as an "exchange treasure vault."
The resources in this "Exchange Treasury" not only encompass the resources of the Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household, but also include the "treasure treasuries" of the seven prefectures under the Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture.
There were two exchange options that Kong Wenxuan found particularly appealing: the opportunity to refine "Treasure Qi" in the "Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation" of "Zhuyan Commandery," and the opportunity to cultivate in the core array eye of the "Myriad Waters Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation" of "Xuanniao Commandery."
