Having Children, Building a Future, a Heart Set on the Dao!
Time flies.
Three years have passed since the three families fought for control of Sichuan...
Three years is enough time to change many things. The position of prefect, which was always held by a disciple of the Blue Wave Sect, now belongs to the Huang Clan!
Zhang Clan took over the position of Prefectural Assistant, and Qin Clan took over the position of Commandant.
The three families divided power, holding administrative, civil, and military authority, and jointly controlled Longchuan, becoming the second largest power after the fourth family...
The new three giants of Longchuan!
Furthermore, with Huang Liang and Qin Lu appointed as the heads of the Hundred Arts Office Department and the Alchemy Department respectively, the conflict between the local authorities and the imperial court was greatly alleviated...
The harmonious relationship further stabilized Longchuan.
For the past three years --
The three factions joined forces to suppress the Bandit Cultivator and eliminate the evil spirits in the county...
To stabilize the land and its people, vigorously promote their development, open up avenues for upward mobility, support various forces, and recover the losses from the last great war...
Especially the war against Daliang a few years ago.
As Prefecture bordering the second battlefield, it suffered severe population casualties, losing two-fifths of its population and leading to the extinction of many small tribes...
Thousands of Warrior were killed or wounded, and hundreds of clans were wiped out!
Although this number is just a drop in the ocean for the Da Zhou Dynasty...
However, for Longchuan County, losing nearly half of its population was a devastating blow, even though some people were transferred from other counties.
But after the great war, there will inevitably be great disaster, in addition to the power struggle among the three families...
Of the population that was brought in, only two or three tenths remain today, a drop in the ocean, their lives as insignificant as grass.
For the sake of the people's prosperity and the establishment of a thriving industry --
With the three parties working together in unison, Longchuan Prefecture was transformed into an impregnable fortress, abolishing many old systems and establishing new laws and regulations...
This has made trade smoother, unlike the past when there were many competing parties and frequent conflicts.
Three years of stable development.
This improved the lives of the people in Longchuan and greatly solidified the reputation of the three families...
Numerous smaller factions sprang up like mushrooms after rain!
These numerous smaller clans will gradually gravitate towards one of the three major families, becoming their loyal followers...
In a few decades, two or three generations will have passed.
By then, the prestige of the three families will reach new heights, making them the local tyrants of Longchuan, and their orders will even be superior to imperial authority!
This will also lead to the formation of powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan...
Yingchuan County -- Ba City -- Muxuan Mountain
A somber and gloomy celestial palace stands on the Muxuan Mountain. This magnificent palace is based on black and gray tones...
The palace was named: Qin Palace!
This palace was forged from spiritual materials, benefiting from the inheritance of First-Tier spiritual building. A spiritual building is a structure built using various spiritual materials as its foundation.
This involves feng shui, geography, exploration, qi (energy) theory, and the Five Elements theory, among others...
Ultimately, it took three years, with the Qin Clan mobilizing its entire resources and spending tens of thousands of First-Tier spiritual items and dozens of Second-Tier spiritual items...
Thus, this palace was built: the Qin Palace!
It contains three major formations: the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Nine Jades Interlinked Formation, and the Earth Marsh Thick Primordial Formation...
It can withstand attacks from multiple Qi Condensation cultivators!
It also has the effect of suppressing swamps and water veins. According to rumors, the Spirit Building can even suppress the fortune of a nation or clan, etc.
Of course, the concept of destiny is so elusive that no one has ever been able to Daoqing its reasons.
Therefore, this palace was built.
Firstly, it was to demonstrate the prestige of the Beichuan Qin Family. Every month on the first day of the month, the clouds and mist of Muxuan Mountain would disperse, revealing the celestial palace!
This attracted the worship of the masses, and countless Warrior bowed down to him!
Secondly, this forges Kingly Qi!
This Kingly Qi belongs to the category of fortune. According to ancient records, if people worship a certain object for a long time, there is a chance that a wisp of Kingly Qi will be gathered!
Being imbued with Kingly Qi helps the soul grow, and absorbing the energy of all people can elevate the aptitude of one's offspring...
Qin Clan lacks most now is high-quality offspring...
Therefore, this palace was built in an attempt to influence the fortunes of the people and thus strengthen the foundation of the Qin Clan!
Thirdly, as the political hub of the Qin Clan, a central location was needed to represent and reassure the people of various regions...
Currently, the Qin Clan controls 60,000 square kilometers of land.
It has three major cities: Yunmeng City, Yingchuan City, and Yunchuan City. Yunchuan City was formerly known Xuan City, and Yunchuan Lake was renamed Yunchuan Marsh.
It encompasses over thirty small towns, and countless townships and villages!
It certainly needs a prosperous place!
at the same time--
The Qin Palace was also the ancestral palace of the Qin Clan, and the future symbol of the Qin Clan. Behind the palace was the future ancestral hall of the Qin Clan...
There are currently three rows of memorial tablets on it, totaling fifteen.
The topmost one was Qin Lu's life tablet, emitting a faint spiritual light...
Each life tablet represents a member of the Qin Clan from the second or third generation. A broken life tablet signifies the Death Dao of that person...
The five extra ones are Qin Clan immortal offspring born in recent years!
Unfortunately, none of the five possessed a talent exceeding one inch; the least gifted among them only had a talent of three-tenths of a glimmer of inspiration...
Five people, four men and one woman, the fourth to eighth in the three generations of the Qin dynasty.
The fourth oldest, Qin Mingyue, had an 80% spiritual insight! The fifth oldest, Qin Mingzheng, had a 90% spiritual insight!
Both are sons of Qin Wu, and their mother is from the direct line of the Huanglian Huang Family clan. According to Qin Wu's plan, these two brothers will have a bright future...
These are all the pillars and backbones of his Qin Clan family's military!
These two children also inherited Qin Wu; they were both as strong as oxen, and with the nourishment of various spiritual creatures in the clan, they grew rapidly!
Sixth Brother: Qin Mingyi, seven parts inspiration! Seventh Brother: Qin Mingwan, three parts inspiration!
His father was Qin Wen, and his mothers came from the Meng Family and the other from a minor Li clan. Their two children, though not particularly gifted...
But the family is happy, and good things come in pairs.
In particular, the patriarch of the small Li clan chatted amiably with Qin Wen, displaying a close and intimate friendship; he was exceptionally learned...
He currently serves as the Assistant County Magistrate of Cloud Dream County. I heard his name is... Li Si?
The entire Cloud Dream County--
Under the joint leadership of Qin Wen, Li Si, and Meng Wu, things have flourished in recent years, and the population has recovered rapidly...
Furthermore, there are numerous other Daoist traditions such as Cloud Dream Mountain, Hanbang, and Seven Rosy Clouds Sect.
For a moment, it felt like a Hundred Households were contending!
The last son, ranked eighth: Qin Mingyuan, possesses a talent of nine points!
He was Qin Zhao. His mother was the female cultivator who possessed a little over an inch of spiritual light. Shortly after giving birth to Qin Mingyuan, she was refined into a human elixir by Qin Zhao...
With various assistance methods, Qin Zhao's aptitude improved by two points...
Reaching the ninth level of spiritual enlightenment, he is the only person among the second generation of Qin to use the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method]. For him, seeking the Dao is everything!
to this end--
Sacrificing others' lives to pave one's own Dao Path is nothing more than a few hardships!
Just like Qin Lu back then...
Qin Mingyuan's son was merely a byproduct, simply a means to continue his lineage; perhaps there was some familial affection involved...
But thinking about it, it's definitely not that much...
Just like how Qin Zhao named his lineage's peak "Dao-Seeking Peak" among the Twenty-Four Peaks, in his heart, there is only the Great Dao!
If one does not become a cultivator, one will ultimately remain a mere ant in the mortal world!
