Redistributing the Interests of Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, Dividing Up the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven Anew
Kong Wenxuan finally accepted Bi Yanhong 'True Lord invitation. Although the Vermilion Bird Royal Court's actions were certainly dangerous, once the great battle broke out in the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven, there would be no place that was not dangerous.
Moreover, if his analysis is correct, following the Vermilion Bird Royal Court might allow him to obtain the Phoenix bloodline inheritance, which indeed presents a great fortuitous opportunity that Kong Wenxuan is unwilling to miss.
More importantly, the Kong Household has now been promoted to Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, and its scope of contact, actions, and perspectives on issues need to be different from those of Low-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
At the Low-Grade True Spirit " level, Lineage often cannot venture beyond a single prefecture. The Kong Household only needs to develop itself well, and for all other actions, they only need to follow behind the Bifang Bi Household above them and not fall behind. They don't need to think too much about it.
However, now that the Kong Household has advanced to the Middle-Grade True Spirit " level and is about to expand and establish their own prefecture, their vision, mindset, and approach to problems can no longer be limited to the local area. Instead, they need to look upwards and manage their affairs as much as possible.
Leaving aside the resources, information, and connections of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty," they should at least start building upon the connections, information, and resources of the Vermilion Bird Royal Court in order to better develop at the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" level, instead of blinding themselves, shrinking into one place, and haphazardly managing and developing.
Therefore, following behind the Zhu Household of the Vermilion Bird Royal Court and participating in the operation is undoubtedly the best opportunity to enter the vision of the "High-Grade True Spirit" Zhu Household and cultivate relationships with the upper echelons of the Vermilion Bird Royal Court in terms of connections, information, and resources.
Kong Wenxuan naturally didn't want to miss out.
While Kong Wenxuan and Bi Yanhong True Lord were discussing their participation in the Vermilion Bird Royal Court's "operation," the discussions at the Golden Core level were also taking place.
It gradually came to an end.
The Kong Household now has three Golden Core True Person: patriarch Kong Changgeng, eldest uncle Kong Yushuo, and fourteenth uncle Kong Yuyan. All of them participated in the debate, and the result was two wins and one loss.
The clan leader and the eldest uncle both defeated their opponents, while the fourteenth uncle Kong Yuyan, was defeated by Xuanniao Xuan Household's Golden Core True Person cultivator.
This result was within Kong Wenxuan's expectations. Just like the previous discussions on the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion levels, although the Kong Household disciples had excellent inheritance and good methods, they were still far from being able to sweep through their peers. The other established Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage also had their own trump cards and foundations.
Therefore, all three levels of argumentation resulted in more wins than losses, which already greatly satisfied Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household.
After all, the Kong Household has only just advanced to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit level, and there is still a lot of room for development and improvement. At this point, they are already able to win more than they lose. If they develop for several decades or hundreds of years, it should not be difficult for them to sweep away other True Spirit Lineage of the same level and grade.
Similarly, after this debate, the Kong Household family disciples were naturally very excited. The cultivators from the various Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture who came to attend the promotion celebration banquet and observe the debate, whether they were from Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage participated in the debate, Fifth-Grade True Spirit Lineage who did not participate, or even the Fourth-Grade Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit Lu Household cultivator who presided over the debate, all looked at the Kong Household with new respect.
Although back when the Kong Household was still at the "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, these "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage had already heard of or even witnessed the remarkable abilities of the Kong Household members, especially Kong Wenxuan, and therefore had a strong desire to befriend and win over the Kong Household.
However, the level of Middle-Grade True Spirit is different from that of Low-Grade True Spirit, just like the difference between heaven and earth.
Previously, these Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage viewed the Kong Household's friendliness and attempts to win them over with a sense of superiority and condescension. They felt that this was a favor and care bestowed upon the Kong Household by their own family, that their family held a dominant position, and that the Kong Household should be grateful and loyal in return.
Even now that the Kong Household Lineage successfully advanced to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit level, placing them on the same level as many Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage, these established Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage still view the Kong Household with the superiority complex of seniors looking at juniors.
However, at this moment, in this debate, the fact that the Kong Household Lineage, with its newly promoted Sixth-Grade True Spirit, could easily crush these seniors on the beach, undoubtedly shocked everyone. The way they looked at the Kong Household family members and Kong Wenxuan immediately changed.
The previous sense of looking down on others and feeling superior is gone, replaced by a greater sense of seriousness and respect.
In such a debate, the Kong Household managed to win more than they lost. What they gained was not only the attention of these fellow True Spirit Lineage ' "elders," but more importantly, the distribution of power and benefits.
As expected, within the Low-Grade True Spirit level, the debates at each promotion celebration banquet determine the distribution of profits such as trade routes, shops, and resources among the various Low-Grade True Spirit Lineage within Bifang Commandery.
Now, the "Advancement Banquet" debate at the "Middle-Grade True Spirit Level" will naturally determine the division of interests among the various Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage in the entire Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture region, including trade routes, shops, resources, and rights.
It can even determine the resources that the "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" army acquires in the great battle to counterattack the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.
The division of interests, territory, etc.
Previously, when the Kong Household was only Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage, even when they participated in the great battle to counterattack the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven, they could only follow behind the Bifang Commandery army and fight under the command of the Bi Household. The resources, benefits, and mineral veins they could obtain were just some scraps left over from the Bi Household, Geng Household, and Huo Household.
Even if they were to use boats to claim land, they could only do so within the territory designated by the Bi Household, occupying some resource points and mineral veins. They were neither free nor could they gain much.
However, now that the Kong Household has advanced to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit level, and in this advancement celebration banquet, they have achieved more wins than losses, gaining the respect of various Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
Next, the Kong Household was even able to lead a large army in the great battle of counterattacking the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven, and like the Bi Household, Huo Household, and Geng Household, directly occupy tens of thousands of miles of territory, instead of just occupying some resource points and mineral veins.
Of course, there is an even more important point: it is possible to occupy some Fifth Tier resource points and mineral veins in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and collect Fifth Tier Five Elements spiritual materials and other resources and spiritual items from them.
After all, Kong Wenxuan has now advanced to the Fifth Tier Nascent Soul Realm. Whether he continues to refine and enhance the Five Elements Divine Swords, or continues his cultivation and advancement at the Nascent Soul Realm, he cannot do without Fifth Tier Five Elements spiritual materials.
However, there are no Fifth Tier resource points or mineral veins in the South Lake Mountains where the Kong Household is located; the highest level resource point is only Fourth Tier.
Therefore, it is no longer possible for Kong Wenxuan to rely on expanding his territory to mine Fifth Tier five-element spiritual materials in the South Lake Mountains for sword forging and cultivation.
However, even with the Kong Household 'Kong Household considerable expenditure of money and Spirit Stone, it would be difficult to purchase enough fifth -Fifth Tier elemental materials for his sword-forging and cultivation.
Even if they could purchase them, it would deplete the Kong Household's wealth and Spirit Stone, severely impacting the Lineage's development and the cultivation and growth of its members, which is certainly not advisable.
Another way to obtain Fifth Tier Five Elements spiritual materials is to exchange them from the Imperial Treasury using battle merits, but this is undoubtedly a huge waste of Imperial merits.
Therefore, seizing Fifth Tier resource points and mineral veins within the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" to mine Fifth Tier Five Elements spiritual materials for his sword forging and cultivation is undoubtedly the best choice.
This not only requires Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household to have sufficient strength to attack and seize, but also requires them to discuss and divide the direction of attack with the Lineage "Middle-Grade True Spirit" in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture.
After all, the territory within the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" is limited, as are the mid- and high-level resource points and mineral veins. With more monks than porridge, it is natural to divide up the directions and territories that each family can attack and occupy in advance to avoid internal strife among the various True Spirit Lineage.
Previously, the Kong Household was only Low-Grade True Spirit Lineage and was not qualified to participate in such a division. Now that the Kong Household has successfully advanced to the level of Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, they are qualified to participate in the division. Moreover, because of their performance of winning more than losing in the debate, they can obtain more territory, resources, and benefits in the division.
These were all obtained through negotiations conducted by Kong Wenxuan, the clan leader, and others, along with members of other Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage, under the guidance of Extended Net Moon Deer's Lu Household, after the "Promotion Celebration Banquet".
