The Qin Clan Has an Heir: Establishing the Generation Names!

"Brother Huang's words do make sense."

"Who can say for sure about destiny and fate..."

Here--

The three landed on the ship one after another, causing all the soldiers to bow down in reverence!

The Warrior and soldiers were all quite polite, bowing respectfully and addressing him as "Senior." If it was a cultivator from their own clan, they would address him as "Ancestor"...

As for ordinary soldiers, they were mostly referred to as: immortals or immortal masters.

"Father!"

A call came—

Qin Lu turned around and saw Qin Xiao running over, looking somewhat excited...

"You..."

"If I hadn't been careful and had Qing Centipede keep watch here, I was afraid you'd go upstream against the tide and be ambushed by villains..."

Fortunately, we arrived in time, and there was no damage or disturbance.

There was not much small talk.

Given the tense situation, Qin Lu naturally wasn't in the mood for that. He then took out a map and handed it to Qin Xiao:

"The decapitation operation went smoothly. The Zhengyuan Dao District of Daliang has collapsed, the Zhengyuan Sect has been destroyed, and its Dao Foundation Ancestor, Zhengyuanzi, has escaped with serious injuries!"

"Now, war has broken out on all sides, and chaos is rampant in various places..."

"Although the Daliang has not yet lost its composure, its collapse is already evident. Once our army exerts its utmost effort to hold the pass, the borderlands will surely fall..."

"By then."

"Daliang had no choice but to shrink its defensive line, abandon the Zhengyuan Dao District, and retreat to defend the natural passes..."

"And the Zhengyuan Dao District is the flesh that was cut off!"

"Therefore, I, as your father, intend to take this place and incorporate it into the Qin Clan's sphere of influence, thus strengthening the foundation of our Qin Clan..."

"This is a map of this place: Yunmeng Marsh. Keep it safe."

"The land on the north bank of the Great Swamp..."

"This area is densely populated, containing dozens of towns and cities of varying sizes. You will need to lead your troops to annihilate them and conquer territories..."

"As for the threat from the Qi Condensation Realm..."

"My son, rest assured, your father is here. If you encounter any danger, I will take action..."

Upon hearing this—

Qin Xiao smiled faintly, composed himself, and nodded in acknowledgment.

Sure enough, in front of his father, he was still somewhat immature, unable to transform into a towering tree like his father, protecting the entire Lineage...

"By the way, Father..."

"During your absence, my daughter-in-law, Zhang Clan, became pregnant on the eve of her departure for the campaign. She is the eldest grandson of the first branch of the Qin Clan, spanning three generations..."

"Please, Father, bestow a name upon us and establish the generational naming conventions, for this will solidify the foundation of our Lineage!"

Upon hearing this—

Not only was Qin Lu surprised, but Zhang Xuan, the in-law, was even more delighted!

Speaking of which...

Qin Xiao's wife was also his niece, making him Qin Xiao's uncle. Furthermore, he had recently shared a life-or-death bond with Qin Lu...

Now the two families have united and have had offspring.

This relationship can be considered a double blessing. As long as the two families do not cause internal strife, in the future, both families can also establish their own independent territory in Longchuan Prefecture and remain uninvolved!

"Great news! This is fantastic news!"

Congratulations, Brother Qin! The Qin Clan has a worthy successor!

Upon hearing this, Qin Lu was overjoyed. A thriving Lineage with a worthy successor was the foundation of a powerful clan, and thus of paramount importance...

"The generational naming system has long been prepared by your father!"

"You and your second son have been married for two years, but there's been no news. I'm worried that you two brothers might be having some unspeakable difficulties..."

"Today, I can finally rest easy!"

"My Qin Clan has followed the following rules since the third generation:"

[By clarifying the Way of Mysterious Heroes, inscribing the principles to stabilize Heaven and Earth, cultivating the foundation of prosperity, and ensuring the longevity of all undertakings.]

"These twenty generation names should be enough. The third generation will use the character 'Ming'. As for the names, you, as the father, should choose them..."

"But..."

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. In the future, the number of disciples in our clan will only increase, multiplying in number!"

"Those who can be given a generational name must possess certain qualifications to be included in the family genealogy, or they must be individuals with outstanding achievements..."

As the saying goes, "Without rules, there can be no order."

"You should understand this as well. As your father, I do not wish for any day to see decay and rot appear within my Qin Clan's immortal seedlings..."

Having said that--

Qin Xiao already understood that this was to prevent future disciples of the Dao from being misled by their mortal relatives...

This also applies to their second generation!

For example, in the cases of Qin Wen and Qin Zhuang, such situations occurred, where their maternal clans were provided with some conveniences, even though the Lineage's interests were not harmed...

but--

The Qin Clan governed and managed their subordinates through laws and regulations, emphasizing the law to ensure the stability of affairs.

Qin law was strict, but it achieved relative fairness!

Qin Lu did not want his descendants to one day overturn the very foundation upon which his clan had been founded...

"I understand."

"Please rest assured, Father, once the war is over, I will certainly begin to manage the household affairs."

"Strict family rules and regulations must be established!"

That's all for now.

After giving some instructions to his descendants, Zhang Xuan and his two companions departed...

They didn't really leave; they remained hidden, watching over things from the shadows. Exposing themselves too much to ordinary people could easily cause those in lower positions to lose their sense of awe.

This is beyond doubt.

Humans only fear the unknown; only the unknown and power can coexist.

Those at the bottom of society.

On the contrary, they will become more awe-inspiring, more loyal, and even deify the characters, making the stories more and more fantastical!

Looking at the fleet below--

Qin Lu was filled with mixed emotions. Indeed, risk and fortuitous opportunity coexisted. Once he took this place, his Qin Clan would take another leap forward!

to this end--

He paid a heavy price...

They didn't want the inheritance of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, nor the personal wealth of the two sword cultivators...

Firstly, it was to express my gratitude for their saving my life. This is beyond question, and as a reward, it was naturally nothing.

Secondly, it was for the purpose of having the two men join him in guarding the territory. If the Qin Clan were to occupy the land, given their relatively weak foundation, they would inevitably attract covetousness...

Such a precious place must attract many who desire it!

With Huang and Zhang around, the chances of keeping this territory are much greater!

Of course, he also copied down some classic texts and Cultivation Method techniques, so he gained quite a lot...

After all, it is the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, the culmination of a century of accumulation.

Its value is considerable.

There are four sets of Cultivation Method Dharma Sect alone, all capable of reaching the Qi Condensation Realm. Besides basic Law Technique, there are also various Sword Dao techniques...

It allows you to learn swordsmanship, including sword energy, Sword Qi, and Sword Intent!

Other techniques include: Sword Shadow Splitting Light, Greatsword Technique, and Flying on a Sword...

exactly--

Qin Lu was also skilled with a sword, though not an expert, but he learned a few Sword Dao techniques to make up for his lack of combat strength.

This time, I narrowly escaped death.

This also made Qin Lu realize his own weakness. Although his poison skills were already quite good, he also had the Spirit-Breaking Needle, a method to defeat enemies!

However, its ability to engage in direct combat is extremely weak...

Whenever Qin Lu recalled Ancestor Liuyun, he would feel disoriented and filled with lingering fear...

He also received three other inheritances--

However, as the saying goes, "the secrets of the art should not be passed on lightly," so the three of them each chose one as their own lineage, to avoid future competition and damage to their harmony.

Qin Lu chose a First-Tier brewing inheritance!

The Qin Clan is proficient in Spirit Plant and elixirs, and also has extensive experience in brewing...

When paired together, they complement each other perfectly...

(This is the name of the eldest grandson of the Qin family, the third generation of the Qin dynasty. The author is bad at naming, so please leave a comment to suggest a better name. If no suitable name is found, the author will make a final decision.)
