Two Major Reforms Within the Qin Clan!
As the saying goes, troubled times breed heroes, and prosperous times are rife with chaos...
Since the Qin Clan ended the Great War of Spirit Transformation in the 241st year of the Great Qin Calendar, a hundred years have passed. After a hundred years of turmoil...
While a prosperous era has arrived, various problems have also emerged.
For example, the distribution of profits!
Within the empire, Qin Daoyuan's numerous reforms had already stabilized many forces and the empire itself, allowing it to enter a period of steady development...
In times of prosperity, hidden dangers are no longer a problem.
The real conflict that was exposed was the proliferation of factions within the Qin Clan. The Qin Clan was a Lineage that admired strength, and this was the fundamental reason for the Qin Clan rise...
Although Qin Lu was keeping things under control, it had to be admitted.
Beginning with the seven bloodlines of the second generation of Qin, the internal divisions within the Qin Clan became increasingly apparent, with conflicts arising between the direct line and the legitimate line...
We can still use our strength to make amends and reconcile.
However, the infighting among the seven clans was fundamentally uncontrollable, as the Qin Clan's resources and certain quotas were fixed...
If you eat one more bite, someone else has to eat one less bite.
The second and third generations of Qin descendants might not feel anything, since they are all serving the Lineage, and whoever is most useful...
Naturally, priority is given to whoever is right, and uniting the Lineage is what they believe is the right thing to do.
However, starting from the fourth generation of the Qin dynasty, as the number of the Qin Clan descendants increased and people's ideas became more diverse, the conflicts became more and more obvious...
At this time--
As different factions vie for greater interests, conflicts naturally erupt, and these conflicts escalate as one faction gains power over the other...
The core vassals of the Qin Clan.
For example, the three lineages of the Qin Dragon Race, the Wood Demon lineage of Ancestor Fusheng, the Three-Tailed Green Fox lineage, and the will of the Seven Ghost Emperor...
These are all factors that determine the strength or weakness of the seven branches of the Qin Clan!
Like Qin Zheng's lineage, who is Nascent Soul Cultivator himself, plus Qing Ling, the Nascent Soul Fox Queen of the Three-Tailed Green Fox lineage...
In addition, with Qin Zheng's Natal Spirit Beast, Jintong, this lineage now boasts three Nascent Soul cultivators, and Jintong also belongs to the True Dragon Lineage...
They can even win over Lin Xuan to their side!
This lineage actually boasts four Nascent Soul cultivators, making it arguably the only one of its kind among the seven lineages of the Qin Clan, naturally wielding significant influence...
As Qin Zheng's offspring were born, they gradually came into being.
They will then begin to compete for Lineage resources; this is an inevitable outcome...
As for the other six lineages, how many Nascent Soul cultivators were behind them? This is where the conflict began, as Qin Zheng's bloodline grew stronger...
His descendants will then rely on Qin Zheng's status to compete for the resources of the other six clans!
With resource support, strength increases.
The stronger one is, the higher their status within the clan will be, and the more resources they can acquire, thus creating a vicious cycle...
But this is also an inevitable result of a power that is constantly growing stronger.
When things get too big, it's always hard to manage them properly.
Therefore--
Internal reforms within the Qin Clan were equally urgent, and ultimately Qin Mingyi took the lead, uniting Qin Minghan, Qin Mingyuan, Qin Mingzheng, and Qin Mingle...
Five members of the Qin family across three generations collaborated to create a completely new set of the Qin Clan family rules!
Two systems were established.
A system that continues the Lineage's fundamental principle of prioritizing strength, with collateral descendants participating in a small competition held every ten years...
This is how the number of members who return to the Seven Lineages each year is selected.
Meanwhile, the core disciples of the seven lineages also participate in a ten-year mini-competition. Those who rank at the bottom are stripped of their direct lineage titles and relegated to collateral lineages...
This serves as an encouragement to both collateral and direct descendants!
At the same time, various clan competitions were established, such as the grand clan competition held once every fifty years, or the selection of the six kings and emperors of the Great Qin Empire once every hundred years...
These selections are all made by various factions, making it a selection process where only the strongest performers win!
This intensifies competition among the various lineages, weakening the direct or indirect influence of the Nascent Soul elders behind each lineage on the younger generation...
As long as you are strong enough, you can stand out from the clan!
This is the Qin Clan's internal selection system, adhering to the ironclad law of the survival of the Qin Clan fittest. Only the strong can enjoy the glory of the Qin Clan today...
And another set.
This was to deal with the increasingly powerful Qin Clan family members...
The Qin Clan family now numbers over 1.5 million, including 60,000 to 70,000 Qi Condensation cultivators and several thousand Dao Foundation cultivator...
The number of Golden Core cultivators is as high as sixty or seventy!
Especially the Xuan, Ying, and Dao generations, with the continuous supply of resources, any one of these three generations with even a little talent...
After two hundred years of cultivation, most of them have already formed their Golden Core!
These are also the three most common generations of Golden Core cultivators in the Qin Clan. In another hundred years, when the Ming generation comes of age...
The number of Golden Core cultivators will likely double!
There are quite a few disciples of the Ming generation with a spiritual light level of four inches or higher; there are thirty or forty disciples of the Ming generation, all of whom have a spiritual light level of four inches or higher...
At least half, or even two-thirds, of them will achieve the Golden Core!
Not to mention those disciples with only a three-inch or two-inch spiritual aptitude; their numbers are increasing exponentially, although the upper limit is low...
But with a larger base, the proportion of geniuses that emerge will naturally be greater.
That's why--
Therefore, this second system is similar to the contribution point system for military merits, only it is based on the original system...
This contribution point system offers more options!
For example, high-level Lineage Cultivation Method that only direct descendants can practice, or spirit beasts that only direct descendants can choose, or even directly exchanging for a direct descendant status...
Give collateral descendants more options for their future!
By allowing resources and trial slots to be exchanged based on contribution points, the barriers between direct and collateral branches are completely broken down...
However, a balance was maintained.
This same contribution point system also applies to direct descendants. For direct descendants, the tasks assigned by the Lineage...
This will become a test they must face; if they fail...
They will lose everything!
Furthermore, resources and trial slots that were previously only available to direct descendants will now be available for competition alongside those from collateral branches...
All controversial items can be obtained by exchanging contribution points!
At this point--
This can reduce the influence of the Nascent Soul ancestors of each lineage to the weakest level, while the biggest difference between collateral branches and direct descendants gradually becomes apparent...
That means having the opportunity to get in touch with the Qin Clan's inner circle!
at the same time--
They can also receive guidance and instruction from high-level cultivators, rather than direct support from power and resources, thus mitigating the conflicts arising from the rivalry among the seven sects...
It turned its attention to all the Qin Clan disciples!
Making everything fair and transparent will better stimulate the enthusiasm of the many Qin Clan family members and encourage their competition...
Always keep under the Lineage's surveillance!
These are the two latest major reforms within the Qin Clan, in the hope that the Lineage will not suffer an irreparable collapse...
