Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 349 The Xi Family Discusses "Request for Further Submission"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qi's expression shifted, but he did not immediately agree.

He simply said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Xi, please speak freely. As long as it is within my capabilities and does not violate the sect's code of conduct."

He already had some guesses in his mind.

If he were nearing the end of his life, he wouldn't let such a favor slip away.

Xi Daoyun didn't beat around the bush and said directly with his hands clasped, "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Yu to accompany me on a personal trip to Tiancang Prefecture so that my Xi family can be relocated to the central region."

And out of consideration for our past relationship, I hope you can show some favor in the future, so that the Xi family line may not be cut off.

Yu Qi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

Moving an entire family from the northwest to the central south was no easy task.

"Besides wiping off all favors, my savings accumulated over a thousand years are also entrusted to you, fellow Daoist. Even if you don't need them, you can trade them with other fellow Daoists."

Is Xi Daoyun making arrangements for his funeral?

He was slightly shocked.

However, any Nascent Soul cultivator would be tempted by the entire fortune of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Xi, why go to such lengths? Although the Xu family is powerful and difficult to resist, why don't you ask me to take action?"

With the two of us working together, surely we can get rid of the Xu family?
And incidentally, to intimidate the other forces as well.

Your Xi family remains the overlord of Tiancang Prefecture!

This suggestion was good, however, Xi Daoyun slowly shook his head.

“My Xi family has offended many families over the past thousand years. With Xi Yi dead, we will no longer be able to suppress them. Even if we can intimidate them for a while, how long can we keep them in check?”

Fellow Daoist Yu, are you sure you can still hold down a position in my Heavenly Azure Sect?

Moreover, if Fellow Daoist Yu were to cause trouble in our Northwest, it might drag the Yu Ling Sect into the turmoil of our Tian Cang Prefecture.

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Qi looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression.

Xi Daoyun said, "Fellow Daoist, do you think that what I said before, that Ancestor Xuan Yue happened to pass by and captured the True Demon, was really just a coincidence?"

Yu Qi's pupils constricted sharply: "You mean..."

"He went straight to the Xu family. If I'm not mistaken, the Xu family must have somehow managed to persuade this great cultivator to go there specifically to deal with the Heavenly Demon Lord!"

Yu Qi's composure was finally shattered, replaced by shock and a chill.

What kind of energy and cost would it take to get a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to take action?

How could the Xu family have done that?

"Is the Xu family deliberately watching your Heavenly Azure Sect and Greedy Wolf Sect both suffer heavy losses?!"

Yu Qi instantly realized the key to it and gasped.

If that's the case, then the Xu family's scheming and machinations are truly terrifying.

"Perhaps. The Xu family must have taken advantage of the war between our two prefectures to achieve some kind of goal. Obviously, they have succeeded."

In addition, one of the Xu family's prodigies became a disciple of the Xuan Yue Ancestor.

As the dominant sect in the Northwest region, Xuan Yue Sect may not interfere in the struggles between different prefectures, but if your Yu Ling Sect intervenes and wantonly slaughters the Xu family.

Mr. Xi is worried that even your Spirit Control Sect might not be able to bear the consequences.

Yu Qi remained silent.

The Yuling Sect is indeed powerful, and its overall strength may be slightly better than that of the Xuan Yue Sect. However, the reason why the Xuan Yue Sect is ranked among the top five Nascent Soul sects is because...

Besides being the number one sect in the Northwest region, it is also because of the person, Ancestor Xuan Yue.

A few moments.

Yu Qi's face showed a complicated expression. He solemnly cupped his hands to Xi Daoyun and said, "Thank you for your frank advice, Brother Xi, which has enlightened me."

This matter was indeed too simplistic for me.

He also understood the deeper meaning behind Xi Daoyun's reminder.

He came seeking refuge. If he and the Yuling Sect were to be harmed, how could he fulfill his promise to take care of the Xi family?

"Fellow Daoist Xi, what do you plan to do?"

"The Xu family wants to seize the foundation of my Tiancang Sect, so I will naturally not let them get away with it. As long as you are willing to take my Xi family members away, I will have no more worries."

"You're thinking"

Yu Qi immediately understood and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Xi, why are you doing this?"

"It's better to fight a decisive battle than to prolong our lives. If we can severely injure the transformed dragon and kill the Xu family patriarch, then it won't be so easy for the Xu family to rule Tiancang Prefecture."

Xi Daoyun's eyes flickered, and after a pause, he looked at Yu Qi, "Could you grant my request from before, Fellow Daoist?"

"Very well, I agree."

After a long silence, Yu Qi sighed and nodded.

Favors must eventually be repaid, otherwise it will be detrimental to his future spiritual practice.

In addition, Xi Daoyun offered generous compensation, and there was no risk involved in what he did.

"Patriarch Xu, you actually forced such a powerful Nascent Soul family to this point. I am truly curious about what kind of person you are."

Yu Qi thought to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Xi, the relocation is a significant matter that requires advance preparation. Why don't you stay with me for a while, and then I'll return to Tiancang Mansion with you after I've made all the necessary arrangements?"

Xi Daoyun clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yu."

"So, does your Xi family plan to find a sacred place to establish your clan, or live in my Ten Thousand Beasts City? Both have their advantages and disadvantages."

There are few places in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts with abundant spiritual energy left, and even without you, fellow Daoist, your Xi family is still a top-tier Golden Core family with many members, making it difficult to settle them down.

However, in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, there is a fourth-order grand formation protecting it, so there are very few external threats. What remains is mainly the struggle between the major families.

Many of these aristocratic families have close ties with my Spirit Control Sect.

"As for finding a spiritual land to establish your clan around the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, that's entirely up to your Xi family. If you encounter any danger in the future, come to the Yuling Sect to report, and I will lend a hand."

But if it's too late and results in heavy losses, there's nothing I can do.

"I understand, this matter has given me some thought."

After a cup of tea.

Xi Daoyun said, "I would like to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to help me find a spiritual site. My Xi family has been established since its founding. However, I have a request. Please leave me three emergency communication jade talismans so that I can contact you directly."

After three times, it will depend on the Xi family's own fortune.

Of course, if Fellow Daoist Yu is willing to lend a hand, I, Xi, would be extremely grateful.

Yu Qi pondered for a few moments, then nodded. "Okay."

"Thank you for your trouble." Xi Daoyun cupped his hands in thanks again.

As the second-ranked Supreme Elder of the Yuling Sect, he could command anyone within the sect to carry out his orders.

In just seven or eight days.

Several suitable sacred sites have been selected and submitted for Yu Qi and Xi Daoyun to choose from.

Yu Qi led Xi Daoyun to a sacred place called Qinglan Mountain.

There is a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein here, which is naturally not enough for top-tier Golden Core families, but the Xi family has its own resources, so the Yuling Sect does not need to worry about this matter.

Moreover, finding an unclaimed, top-grade third-tier spiritual vein is extremely difficult these days.

Qinglan Mountain covers an area of ​​about fifty or sixty li, which is already considered a considerable area.

Looking around, one can see a main peak rising abruptly from the ground. Although it is not extremely tall, it is still elegant and upright.

The mountain is covered with lush forests, where birds often circle around, and clouds and mist swirl around its waist.

On the sunny side of the mountain, the terrain is gentler, forming several open platforms.

With a little renovation, it would be an excellent place to build a family palace and open up a cave dwelling.

Not far from Lingfeng, there is a small, clear lake with water that is so clear you can see the bottom.

Occasionally, low-level aquatic creatures frolic among them, adding to the vitality of the place.

On the other side of the lake lies a vast primeval forest, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, vines entwined, and spiritual herbs growing.

The entire area is surrounded by mountains and water, with lush forests. Although the spiritual energy is not overwhelming, it is fresh, abundant, and flows naturally.

“It is indeed a beautiful and serene place, a spiritual land suitable for the family to thrive and multiply.” Xi Daoyun scanned the area with his divine sense, having already explored it thoroughly several times.

He naturally understood that a second-tier superior spiritual vein was indeed "shabby" for the Xi family, who once possessed one of the best spiritual veins in Tiancang Prefecture.

But he knew even better that he was asking for help at that moment.

The place chosen by the Yuling Sect to settle the Xi family is already quite good.

He has neither the right nor the leverage to be picky or demand more.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Yu."

Xi Daoyun cupped his hands, his eyes calm and his face showing no dissatisfaction. "This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, an elegant layout, and is far from strife, which suits my taste perfectly."

The Xi family has moved here, and we will need the help of the Yuling Sect and fellow Daoists in the future.

"For Fellow Daoist Xi's sake, I will certainly lend a hand."

Half a month later.

Xi Daoyun led Yu Qi, who was wearing a purple-gold robe, to the Xi family's territory.

The Xi family's territory is not far from the Tiancang Sect.

It has been transformed into a blessed land over thousands of years.

Possessing one fourth-grade low-level spiritual vein and several third-grade spiritual veins, it is not as powerful as the Tiancang Sect, but far surpasses the foundation of other aristocratic families.

Xi Daoyun Cave.

He was rarely at the Xi family home, and his cave dwelling was almost always empty.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, this place is a bit deserted. I hope you will forgive me. I have been in seclusion at the Tiancang Sect for almost all of my time.”

"It's alright." Yu Qi smiled faintly.

Subsequently, Xi Daoyun personally sent a message to all the Golden Core cultivators of the Xi family, instructing them to go to the cave.

The Xi family's territory.

"The Ancestor has returned?"

The eldest elder of the Xi family suddenly opened his eyes, then got up and rushed to Xi Daoyun's cave.

The same goes for everyone else.

The Xi family has a total of fifteen Golden Core cultivators, with seven in the clan, led by the Grand Elder at the ninth level of Golden Core, and one in the late stage of Golden Core.

There are eight in the Tiancang Sect, with True Monarch Qingmu Ximuran being the most respected. He has achieved the Golden Core stage and is also highly accomplished in supernatural powers.

Besides him, Sect Leader Feng Yue has also entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

The rest were all early to mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.

Tiancang Sect.

When Qingmu Zhenjun received Xi Daoyun's message, "Return to the Xi family immediately and gather at my cave!" he showed a surprised expression.

Xi Daoyun's whereabouts remained unknown to anyone.

But it was truly unexpected that he specifically summoned people back to the Xi family for a meeting.

"What is the Ancestor going to do?"

He pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

He immediately left his cave and headed towards the Xi family's territory.

Xi Fengyue and other elders of the Xi family within the Tiancang Sect all did the same.

When they arrived, several Golden Core elders from the clan were already waiting in the cave.

"Ancestor."

Qingmu Zhenjun, Xi Fengyue, and others all bowed and paid their respects.

They were surprised to see that there was another person sitting next to Xi Daoyun, but none of them asked any questions.

“Everyone is here.” Xi Daoyun glanced at the Xi family Golden Core cultivators present.

"Then let's begin the clan council."

"I wonder what the Ancestor wishes to discuss?" the First Elder of the Xi family asked, bowing respectfully.

"Regarding the relocation of my Xi family to the central part of Tiannan."

The moment the words were spoken, an uproar erupted!
The group of Golden Core cultivators all showed surprise, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Move to the central part of Tiannan?"

"Ancestor, why so suddenly? Our Xi family's foundation lies here!"

"What will happen to Tiancang Sect then? Won't all our efforts over the past thousand years go to waste?"

"Ancestor, are you worried that the Xu family is going too far? We are willing to live and die with the family!"

One after another, the Golden Core elders of the Xi family spoke up.

The Xi family has deep roots in Tiancang Prefecture, with businesses all over the place and many branches. How could they easily accept the sudden news that they had to give up everything and move far away?
Xi Daoyun listened quietly to the commotion of his clansmen, his face expressionless. Only when the noise subsided did he slowly speak, "If you disagree, then state your reasons and how to resolve the current predicament of the Xi family."

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

An elder said, "Ancestor, our Xi family has a deep foundation and many vassals. We also control the Tiancang Sect. Why should we fear Yunxi City?"

Even though you are inconvenienced at this time, we can unite the Mo and Lei families.

They are a family that has been rooted in Tiancang Prefecture for a thousand years, so how could they be willing to be suppressed by a mere outsider family that has been around for less than forty years?

"At worst, we can just give them the benefits."

"Mu Hua, Mu Ran, one of you is the Grand Elder of the main branch of the Xi family, and the other is the Grand Elder of the Tiancang Sect. Tell me, what is the current situation of my Xi family?"

Xi Muhua paused, then looked at Qingmu Zhenjun, "Let's have my cousin speak first."

“I agree with the Ancestor’s decision,” said True Monarch Qingmu. “In Tiancang Prefecture, my Xi family is powerless to reverse the situation.”

As for what Elder Feng Cang said, it was about uniting the Mo and Lei families.

They have been suppressed by my Xi family and Tiancang Sect for a thousand years, and they probably can't wait for our downfall.

Moreover, as far as I know, the Lei family has already formed an alliance with the Xu family, and when they were in the Innate Secret Realm, the Lei family followed the Xu family's lead.

As for the Mo family...

If the Xu family had not produced a demon that could transform into human form, Mo Wentian would still have some thoughts in his mind.

But he is patient. The Xu family's power is unstoppable. If he continues to be an enemy, the Mo family's future will not be good.

Therefore, he will definitely seek peace talks with the Xu family, or even form an alliance.

Under such circumstances, even if my entire Xi family were to perish in battle, it would at most cause them some trauma.

Moreover, over the past thousand years, there must have been quite a few Foundation Establishment and Golden Core families who have suffered oppression from my Xi family.

Or even some independent practitioners.

Leaving now would allow us to preserve our strength.

Establishing a foothold in the central region may take some time, but with the current strength of my Xi family, apart from Nascent Soul sects and aristocratic families, not many Golden Core families would dare to provoke us.

If they are forced to flee, it's hard to say how many of their people will remain, but their strength will certainly be greatly reduced. In that case, settling back down will be extremely difficult.

Aoki Shinjun's detailed analysis left everyone speechless.

Yu Qi couldn't help but glance at him, then transmitted his voice to Xi Daoyun, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xi, is this the person you've chosen as the future head of the Xi family?"

"Fellow Daoist Yu has keen insight. Mu Ran is not far from the perfection of supernatural powers and is expected to enter the Nascent Soul stage, but the current Tiancang Palace is no longer suitable for him."

If he dies in the struggle, my Xi family will have no hope of rising again.

"Fellow Daoist, you have truly gone to great lengths."

"Mu Hua, what do you think?" Xi Daoyun looked at him.

"I," Xi Muhua paused, "Reporting to Ancestor, if what Clan Brother Muran said is true, then I have nothing to say and am willing to follow Ancestor's arrangements."

"What about the rest? Any objections?"

"We will obey the Ancestor's arrangements!"

The group of Golden Core cultivators bowed in response.
