The First Bloodline Awakening Ceremony of the Sixth-Grade Peacock True Spirit; Kong Wenxuan's Disappointment
Half a month after the celebration banquet of the Sixth-Grade True Spirit of the Kong Household, in the Kong Household Peacock Secret Realm.
Because of the outstanding performance of the Kong Household members in the "Discussion on Law" at the Jinpin Celebration Banquet, the Kong Household gained considerable benefits and occupied a large amount of assets in the division of interests in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture and the partition of the territory in Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.
However, after the discussions with the Lineage the various "Middle-Grade True Spirit" in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture concluded and the division was completed, the shortcomings of the Kong Household— its rapid rise and insufficient foundation—were exposed.
Putting aside other matters, they wanted to seize the trade routes, shops, resources, and other benefits ceded by the other Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, and to conquer and take over the territory and resource points allocated to the Kong Household in the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.
At the very least, the Kong Household needs sufficient cultivators, manpower, and strength to manage these trade routes and occupy and protect these territories.
The Kong Household rose to prominence in a very short time and grew too fast. From a Lineage of servants, they have risen through the ranks to become Star Inlaying and advanced in rank in just about a century.
Under normal circumstances, even a hundred years is not enough for a Lineage Ninth-Grade True Spirit with Star Inlaying to advance further and grow to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit level.
Just like the "Cuckoo" Du Household, the "Pit Viper" Fu Household, the Black Crane "He Household, and so on, each of them struggled and worked hard for hundreds of years at the " Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage Level". In order to advance to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage Level, some risked using forbidden techniques, but failed and became fugitives of the imperial dynasty. In the end, they could only join the Demon Race and then vanish into thin air.
Some tried to curry favor with their own high-ranking Middle-Grade True Spirit -Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage, hoping these Lineage would lend them a hand and help them advance to the Eighth-Grade True Spirit level. However, due to their own insufficient strength, they perished in the invasion of Demon Race and martial artists.
Some have struggled for hundreds of years, barely surviving one crisis after another, but their hope of reaching the Eighth-Grade True Spirit " position remains slim, with no hope or way forward in sight.
This is the most common and widespread development situation among the "most numerous Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, and even the Low-Grade True Spirit "Lineage, in the True Spirit Realm.
The fact that the Kong Household could cross several huge thresholds such as the Star Inlaying, Ninth Rank, Eighth Rank, and Seventh Rank within a century, successfully advancing to the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" level, and dividing up resources, interests, and territory in a state, is a miracle rarely seen in thousands of years.
While this miracle is certainly exciting and inspiring, it was largely driven by Kong Wenxuan's personal cultivation and strength. Under the circumstances of this miracle, the strength and foundation of the Kong Household members gradually fell behind Kong Wenxuan and the growth rate of this miracle, which gradually became glaringly obvious.
Leaving aside other matters, let's just talk about the number of bloodline cultivators in the Kong Household today.
At its peak, the number of cultivators with the Kong Household bloodline, including those at the Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core stages, exceeded five thousand.
However, due to the casualties from the several major battles against the invasion of the Demon Race and martial cultivators, as well as the casualties from the counterattack against the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven, the number of Kong Household bloodline cultivators is now less than four thousand.
Despite the formidable fighting prowess and skillful tactics of the Kong Household family members, the number of casualties and deaths in the various battles had already exceeded one-fifth.
Even if all the Lineage members in the Early Qi Refinement were included and sent out to work, the fewer than four thousand members of the Kong Household would still not be enough.
After all, the Kong Household is now Sixth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, occupying too much territory and interests, requiring sufficient manpower...
The strength to guard Peacock County Seat and the clan's territory is the foundation of the Kong Household and cannot be lost.
They also need sufficient manpower and strength to seize the trade routes, shops, resources, and other benefits allocated to them within Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture. After all, although these benefits were transferred to the Kong Household by the various Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, if the Kong Household does not have enough manpower and strength to seize and occupy them in the long term, then the other Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage will definitely not hesitate to re-encroach upon them.
Take it back.
They also need enough manpower and strength to attack, occupy, and defend the territory allocated to them in the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," and to mine the resources and mineral veins therein, especially the Fifth Tier five-element spiritual materials that Kong Wenxuan urgently needs.
Furthermore, now that the Kong Household has advanced to the Middle-Grade True Spirit " level, according to the regulations of the Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty, " Middle-Grade True Spirit "Lineage are required to send sufficient manpower and combat strength to participate in the battles and fights between the " Outer Heaven Battlefield " and the martial artists of the True Martial World.
Finally, if the Kong Household wants to expand its territory and "promote" Peacock County to Peacock Commandery, becoming a truly complete Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineage, it also needs sufficient manpower and combat strength.
Considering all these factors, the Kong Household's current number of less than four thousand bloodline cultivators, in terms of both numbers and combat strength, is simply insufficient to support the Lineage's control and management of such interests and territory.
Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate more bloodline cultivators and combat power as soon as possible.
Whether it's cultivating more cultivators with Lineage bloodlines, recruiting and accepting more cultivators from servant cultivator Lineage, or promoting and assisting existing servant cultivator Lineage to Star Inlaying and enhance their combat power, we need to take action as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, within the Kong Household's Peacock Secret Realm, the most important task was being carried out: cultivating more bloodline cultivators. After all, the Kong Household 'Lineage own bloodline cultivators were the true foundation of the Lineage. Only when the Kong Household had a sufficient number and sufficient combat power of its own bloodline cultivators could it remain as solid as a rock and not fear any external accidents or challenges.
Li! Li li----
At this moment, in the sky above the secret realm, above the Peacock True Spirit Star " which is like the sun, the Sixth-Grade Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit manifested, raised its head and sang a clear song, and spread its wings and danced.
Below, on the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak" in the secret realm, almost all the ordinary members of the Kong Household who had not yet awakened their bloodline, except for those children who were too young, whether they were teenagers over fifteen years old, adults who had already undergone a bloodline awakening ceremony, or even many middle-aged and elderly members of the family, were gathered on and around the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak".
They were arranged according to their seniority, with the clan head, Kong Changgeng, standing at the very front, in front of the Lineage hall.
In front of this ancestral hall, there is the tallest and largest offering table ever set out, upon which are placed the most abundant offerings, including Fifth Tier spiritual fruits, Fifth Tier spiritual dishes, and Fifth Tier pastries. The incense and candles burning are also specially made Fifth Tier spiritual items.
This is the first bloodline awakening ceremony held by the Kong Household after the Peacock True Spirit Star advanced to the sixth rank.
After True Spirit Star "advances to the middle grade", it can not only hold bloodline awakening ceremonies for young clansmen, but also hold second awakening ceremonies for adults who failed the first awakening ceremony.
Moreover, under the suppression of Sixth-Grade True Spirit Star, even if a clansman fails to awaken his bloodline, the chance of Demonic Nature Backlash is extremely small, almost one in ten.
Therefore, the Kong Household's first bloodline awakening ceremony for the "Sixth-Grade Peacock True Spirit Star" directly involved almost all ordinary clansmen who had not yet awakened their bloodlines, except for those who were too young.
From teenagers as young as fifteen or sixteen to elderly people nearly a hundred years old, even Kong Wenxuan's parents participated, standing at the very front of the procession, just behind the clan chief.
This can be considered Kong Wenxuan's last effort. If his parents can successfully awaken their Peacock Bloodline in this awakening ceremony and embark on the path of cultivation, they can break the limits of mortal lifespan. With his support, they might as well give it a shot on the path of cultivation.
Go further, live longer.
"Disciples of the Kong Household, we bow to Heaven and Earth! We are grateful to Heaven and Earth for nurturing all things and sustaining us!"
"Descendants of the Kong Household kowtow to the spirits of our ancestors! We are grateful to our ancestors for overcoming all obstacles and establishing our Kong clan!"
"Descendants of the Kong Household, we bow in reverence to the Peacock True Spirit! We are grateful to the Peacock True Spirit for renewing our bloodline!"
Before the crowd, clan chief Kong Changgeng led tens of thousands of ordinary clansmen, raising their voices and bowing three times.
Li! Li li----
In the sky, the Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit's "clear cry grew more and more passionate, flapping its wings and scattering a large amount of Five-Colored Starlight." The starlight of these Sixth-Grade True Spirit Star fell on the Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak and entered the bodies of all the ordinary members of the Kong Household who participated in the "bloodline awakening" consciousness.
Gradually, many spiritual lights shone among these clansmen, and behind each clansman who successfully awakened their bloodline, various Peacock Feather shapes condensed and manifested.
Among them were teenagers as young as fifteen or sixteen, adults who had previously failed to awaken, and even elderly people in their eighties and nineties.
However, Kong Wenxuan's gaze remained fixed on his parents at the front, but he saw that they did not emit a single spark of spiritual light, nor did they show any signs of awakening their bloodline, which made him sigh with some disappointment.
