After Ninth Uncle Kong Yuchui failed Foundation Establishment and died, Thirteenth Aunt Kong Yuqian’s success restored the Kong Household’s confidence. By the end of the attempts, the Lineage had seventeen Foundation Establishment cultivators, with ten successes among fourteen attempts.

After establishing Peacock County, Kong Wenxuan reported to the Bifang Commandery governor, who tasked him with finding a hidden Demon Race stronghold in the South Lake Mountains within ten years.

Kong Wenxuan cultivated in seclusion to advance his Black Water Divine Sword while overseeing Peacock County’s new subordinate households. After two months, the Kong Household’s relocation party approached, and the county’s disciples gathered to welcome them.

• The welcoming disciples cheered, opened the city gates, and manifested peacocks in the sky to greet the arriving Kong Household members.

The Kong Household held its first bloodline awakening ceremony in the newly established Peacock Secret Realm, with Kong Changsen presiding. After 229 of the 300 youths awakened their bloodlines, Kong Changsen died, satisfied with the lineage’s success.

• The Kong Household's seventeen Foundation Establishment cultivators met on Longevity Mountain and identified six main responsibilities.

At the new fire basin, he watched Kong Changlan and Kong Yuyan’s group begin refining two Feather Boats, which they expected to finish within a year.

• Kong Wenmo told Kong Wenxuan that Eldest Uncle’s road was a little over two hundred li from the Demon-Suppressing Pass and that the remaining route was mostly familiar ground.

• Kong Changlan praised the Lineage members’ different contributions and told Kong Wenxuan that his cultivation and strength were essential to the Kong Household’s prosperity.

Kong Wenxuan advanced the Black Water Divine Sword to a Second Tier Spirit Artifact and discovered its Momentum Accumulation could unleash the strongest strike he could currently wield. After his family told him a trained batch of peacock spirit birds was ready to awaken as Peacock Dao Soldiers, he went with them to see the birds.

• Kong Wenxuan completed the Black Water Divine Sword’s advancement, absorbing the last of the Second Tier spiritual water and drawing closer to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
• Kong Wenxuan tested the sword’s Momentum Accumulation, building its power before smashing a huge boulder with a strike stronger than those of his other Second Tier divine swords.
• Kong Wenxuan found that the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation could increase the sword’s accumulated momentum further, but he dispelled the formation because the secret realm had no suitable place for a test.
• Kong Changlan, Kong Yujin, and the others arrived after hearing the commotion, and Kong Wenxuan told them he had finished refining the Black Water Divine Sword.

• Kong Yujin led Kong Wenxuan and the others to the Azure Cloud Bamboo grove, where the peacock spirit birds were being raised.

Kong Wenxuan and Kong Yujin oversaw the enlightenment of the Kong Household’s first batch of Peacock Dao Soldiers in the Peacock Secret Realm. The ritual created new fighters, including three second-tier soldiers, though some peacocks died in the transformation.

• Kong Wenxuan decided to use Dragon Whisker Pine from the captured secret realm fragment to advance his Azure Wood Divine Sword instead of using the scarce second-tier Azure Cloud Bamboo.
• Kong Wenque showed Kong Yujin and Kong Wenxuan the thirty-odd peacock spirit birds prepared for enlightenment, including three second-tier birds.
• Kong Wenxuan summoned the Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit, which scattered Five-Colored Starlight over the birds and began their transformation.

• The new Peacock Dao Soldiers gained limited intelligence and were intended to protect Kong Household cultivators by taking dangerous battlefield roles.

Kong Wenxuan led the Kong Household’s first tax payment from Peacock County to Bifang Commandery City, inspecting the new trade route and its settlements along the way. After reaching the city safely, the group prepared to handle the county’s taxes and other business.

• After traveling more than twenty thousand li, Kong Wenxuan and his group arrived safely at Bifang Commandery City half a month later.

Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household bought the former Du Household Manor in Bifang Commandery City and prepared it as their foothold. They held a housewarming banquet to introduce themselves to the commandery city’s households, where members of the Ya and Fu Households arrived as guests.

• Kong Wenxuan submitted Peacock County’s tax documents to the commandery office, but the revenue bureau delayed the handover while processing Pit Viper County’s taxes.
• Kong Wenxuan and the second elder sold Peacock County goods, then negotiated with the revenue bureau to buy a manor and chose the former Du Household Manor for two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

• Five days later, Ya Tianyu and Ya Xingheng arrived with gifts, and Kong Wenxuan and Kong Changlan welcomed them into the manor.
• Fu Rongji and Fu Zongchang arrived next with gifts, and Kong Wenxuan and Kong Changlan greeted them and escorted them to the banquet.

Kong Wenxuan and Kong Changlan welcomed the Jiao and He Households to the Kong Household’s relocation celebration. He Minghua asked who would manage the Kong Household’s affairs in the commandery city, and Kong Changlan said she would stay there while recovering from injuries; the Bi Household then arrived.
