Helping the Yan, Ma, and Yun Households with Star Inlaying, Supporting Three Subordinate Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineages
With over ten thousand new members of the Kong Household awakening their bloodlines and embarking on the path of cultivation, the entire Kong Household estate has become much busier and more lively.
These tens of thousands of newly awakened bloodline disciples require the clan to assign people to teach and guide their cultivation, and to prepare enough First Tier five-element spiritual materials for them to use for sword consecration and talisman refining. In addition, according to their individual wishes and talents, they should be trained in logistical techniques such as alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman arrays, or in combat techniques for battlefield fighting, etc.
These arrangements and directives are handled by the clan chief and others.
As for the Kong Household, it will take at least several years, or even more than a decade, for these tens of thousands of newly added bloodline cultivators to grow up and become capable of handling various aspects independently. They can solve future needs, but they will be difficult to alleviate the current predicament.
Therefore, while the clan leaders and others were busy arranging and training the tens of thousands of newly awakened bloodline disciples in the clan, Kong Wenxuan met with Swift clan leaders of the three Subordinate Lineage —Peacock County Seat the Yan Household (swallow), the Ma Household (Sparrow), and the Yun Household family (Lark)—who had joined the Under the Kong Household early on and decided to be bound to the Kong Household.
Over the past century, the Kong Household has inevitably faced various battles and conflicts during its rapid growth and development. These included major wars of territorial expansion, battles against demons and martial arts invaders, and the later counterattack against the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven Yan Household.
The cultivators from the Ma Household, Yun Household have always followed the Kong Household, fighting bravely for the Kong Household's foundation and development, even at the cost of heavy casualties.
Furthermore, these three families had long ago chosen to be bound to the Kong Household, and all the disciples in the clan who had awakened their bloodlines chose to accept the imprint of the Kong Household's Peacock True Spirit Star Projection.
This demonstrates the deep and close relationship between the Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household and the Kong Household!
These three families have been so loyal and devoted to the Kong Household over the years, so the Kong Household has naturally taken good care of them as well.
In normal times, the territory allocated to these three families and the resources bestowed upon them far exceed those of the other Servitor Cultivator Lineage in Peacock County. Furthermore, after each major battle, the rewards and compensation for these three families are significantly increased.
Furthermore, in the subsequent two Rank Advancement Trial, the Kong Household brought along cultivators from these three families to participate in the city defense battles. This was certainly to increase the Kong Household's manpower and strength to Rank Advancement Trials, but on the other hand, it was also to give these three families more experience and knowledge in the Rank Advancement Trials, and to hone their combat skills.
This will be very beneficial for the three companies in the future to achieve "Star Inlaying" and "promotion to higher quality".
However, these were merely small favors and insufficient to persuade the three Bloodline Lineage to completely align themselves with the Kong Household and become "Subordinate Lineage" of the Kong Household.
The reason why the Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household have been willing to obey the Kong Household's orders all these years, fighting for the Kong Household and even sacrificing many of their members, is that they truly want the Kong Household to support them and help them advance their Star Inlaying after advancing to the Middle-Grade True Spirit level, so that they too can become True Spirit Lineage.
They were betting that the Kong Household, under Kong Wenxuan's leadership, could advance to the "upper -Middle-Grade True Spirit" level.
And now, they have undoubtedly made the right bet!
"Yan Zhiwen of the Yan family pays respects to the True Lord Wenxuan!"
"Ma Zhenhe of the Ma Household pays respects to the True Lord Wenxuan!"
"Yun Changsheng of the Yun Household pays respects to the True Lord Wenxuan!"
Inside the Kong Household Manor, Kong Wenxuan looked at the Lineage kneeling before him and realized that these three clan heads were no longer the Lineage he had known and understood.
The three clan leaders he had worked with and was familiar with were Yan Zhiyu of the Yan family, Ma Zhenyu of the Ma family, and Yun Changhui of the Yun family. But now all three of them have disappeared, and all three families have changed their clan leaders.
Without asking further, Kong Wenxuan already knew that the original patriarchs of the three families had probably all perished or sacrificed themselves in the years of fighting and sacrificing for the Kong Household.
This clearly demonstrates the dedication and sacrifices made by the three families for the Kong Household over the years.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan didn't beat around the bush or try to make things difficult for them. He simply reached out and helped the three of them up, saying, "There's no need for such formalities. Your Lineage are bound to my Kong Household. Over the years, you have fought and sacrificed a great deal for my Kong Household."
"Now, my Kong Household has successfully advanced to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit level, and has the resources to help several Bloodline Lineage Star Inlaying to the Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage."
"In consideration of your three families' loyalty, hard work, sacrifices, and contributions over the years, our Kong Household can promote you to Lineage 'Ninth Star Inlaying Ninth-Grade True Spirit' level."
"However, let me make it clear from the start that our Kong Household has just advanced to the Sixth-Grade True Spirit, and we need manpower and strength to suppress the interests of all sides and conquer the battlefield of the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven. Therefore, this time we are promoting your three families to Star Inlaying in order to gather more and stronger combat power for our Kong Household's use."
"So, after your three families have been 'Star Inlaying' this time—"
Before Kong Wenxuan could finish speaking, the heads of the Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household Lineage, their faces filled with excitement, bowed again and hurriedly pledged their loyalty to Kong Wenxuan, saying, "Please rest assured, True Lord Wenxuan, whether or not we Star Inlaying, our Yan Household, Ma Household, and Yun Household will always be the most loyal servants of the Kong Household. Wherever the Kong Household points, that is where we will fight to the death!"
"Good!" Kong Wenxuan nodded upon seeing this and said, "I hope you remember your words. It hasn't been easy for the three of you to follow our Kong Household all this way. I hope you won't fall at the last moment."
After giving a warning, Kong Wenxuan changed the subject, saying, "In that case, when you return, you can arrange for your clansmen to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and undergo the 'Star Inlaying' test. During the test, they can summon the power of the Peacock True Spirit Star to assist them."
"With the support and assistance of the Kong Household's Peacock True Spirit Star," I believe that your three families' successful Star Inlaying and advancement to the Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage should be no problem."
"Yes, thank you, True Lord! Thank you, Upper Clan! We will certainly not let you down, True Lord!"
Less than a month later, Swift Yan Household took the lead in Star Inlaying. Kong Wenxuan, through the Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit, sensed the plea for help from the Yan Household who Star Inlaying, and immediately activated the power of the Peacock True Spirit Star to respond.
Li! Li li--
Above the Peacock True Spirit Star ", the Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit" manifested, raising its head and singing a clear song, spreading its wings and displaying its tail feathers, and lowering a beam of Five-Colored Starlight.
The Five-Colored Starlight, following the connection with the Projection Imprint of the Peacock True Spirit Star within the body of the Yan Household's Star Inlaying, fell directly upon him, blessing him during his Star Inlaying trial.
It can both increase their combat power to pass the "Star Inlaying Inlay Test" and add a layer of starlight defense. In this way, the person of the Yan Household who is "Star Inlaying" is almost invincible. He will soon pass the "Star Inlaying Test" and successfully inlay the "Yan Household bloodline power" of the Swift into the Nine-Layer True Spirit Star True Spirit Heaven, thus pushing the Yan Household to the position of the Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
Unfortunately, those who receive the "power and assistance" of a high-ranking True Spirit Lineage to Star Inlaying can only obtain a lower-ranking True Spirit.
"Ling Xingchen" was unable to pass any further additional trials to "upgrade" its own True Spirit Star to the middle or upper level.
However, as long as they can successfully "Star Inlaying" and advance to the position of "True Spirit Lineage", it will already be a great success and they will be very satisfied with the "Swift" Yan Household.
Less than two months after the "Swift" Yan Household successfully "Star Inlaying, "Sparrow the "Ma Household and the Lark" Yun Household also successfully "Star Inlaying" and advanced to the Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage position with the help and support of the Kong Household's "Peacock True Spirit Star".
The Kong Household has not yet established its own "Peacock Commandery", but it has already supported and promoted three Lineage of "Ninth-Grade True Spirits " who follow its family. This has attracted attention from all sides, and many Servitor Cultivator Lineage and Bloodline Lineage are envious.
