A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

Time flies.

Two years have passed since Chen Weilan left Taixuan Mountain to gain experience.

The Yuanjian Sect has completed discussions with the Qi Kingdom's royal family and will reclaim Annan Prefecture within six months. If any rogue cultivators there are willing, they can become cultivators under the sect's jurisdiction and temporarily manage some cities.

Their duty is to send mortals and rogue cultivators to the Yuanjian Sect to participate in the tests. If any of them are exceptionally talented, they will be rewarded.

At Chen Qingmo's suggestion, Black Mountain City was the first to surrender and join the Yuan Sword Sect.

Since Annam Province was not able to be managed like the other three provinces for the time being, the eastern region of Annam Province was handed over to Jaboud for control.

However, the large markets are guarded by Foundation Establishment cultivators, which has dispersed Jabude's power considerably.

After all, Yuanjian Sect doesn't want to see a situation where one entity dominates.

After Feiyun withdrew from Dinggu Town, there was no news of the Blood Fiend Cult's demonic cultivators going there.

Liu Chu guessed that Han Jingchu must have appeared and resolved the matter.

Then he received news that the Yuanjian Sect was about to recapture Annan Prefecture.

Faced with this behemoth, Liu Chu dared not resist and obediently surrendered like Jia Bude.

However, the Flying Cloud Society is not a force mainly composed of family members, and therefore cannot control a large area like Black Mountain City.

Liu Chu arrived at the largest market town in the original territory of the Feiyun Society and became its manager.

The Kitano Association and the Feiyun Association were in similar situations, but they were located in the northernmost part of Annam Province, very close to Guan Province.

Therefore, many independent cultivators choose to go to Guanzhou to develop their careers.

The elders of the Yuanjian Sect didn't care about this; sooner or later, Guanzhou would be reclaimed.

The territory of the Yuman Army was still under the command of Han Jingchu, but the Yuanjian Sect arranged for a Golden Core cultivator to manage it with him.

Han Jingchu will only leave after the Yuanjian Sect cultivators have learned about the situation of the Yuman Army.

Inside Mount Taixuan, Jiabude sat in the reception room, excitedly telling Chen Qingmo about the recent events in Annan Prefecture.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, thanks to your reminder, the Yuanjian Sect actually gave me three Foundation Establishment Pills directly."

"With so many Foundation Establishment Pills, the probability of the younger generation of the Jia family breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage has increased considerably."

As the first force to surrender, the Yuanjian Sect bestowed many rewards upon Black Mountain City, with Foundation Establishment Pills being just one of them.

Jiabude came to thank Chen Qingmo and also brought information about Huangzhong Gorge.

According to the cultivators who went to Huangzhong Gorge to search for treasure, the Golden Sand Elephant is still within its territory, but it will go berserk if any cultivators approach.

Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators have died under its hooves.

Chen Qingmo felt a little regretful upon learning of this.

He had originally planned to explore Huangzhong Gorge again after some time, but going now would not be a wise choice.

Even though the mulberry sparrow could help him hold off the golden sand elephant for a while, there was still a difference in strength between the two.

Moreover, with the Golden Sand Elephant going berserk irrationally, the Mulberry Sparrow might not be able to completely intercept its attacks.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, the Yuanjian Sect's recapture of the three forces in Annan Prefecture, excluding the Yuman Army, may not be a good thing, but it is definitely beneficial to your Jia family."

"Only under the protection of the sect can you develop your family in peace; otherwise, external conflicts alone will be enough to keep you busy."

"Take this opportunity to send a few talented disciples into the Yuanjian Sect, and also let you understand the situation of the sect."

Chen Qingmo then shared some of his experience with Jia Bude.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, among the treasures bestowed upon me by the Yuanjian Sect, there are several that can help me break through my cultivation realm. I plan to go into seclusion to attempt to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. If Buliao needs your assistance in any way, I hope you can lend a hand."

Jiabude cupped his hands in a respectful gesture toward Chen Qingmo and said in a deep voice.

Although there are still three Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding Black Mountain City, he fears that trouble may arise that the three cannot resolve.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, please rest assured. We are allies, and I will never refuse to help with anything I can."

Chen Qingmo agreed to the matter.

If Jiabude can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will also become a member of the Yuanjian Sect's assessment team.

Currently, no Golden Core family has emerged under the sect, and they will keep an eye on any family with a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

After a brief conversation, Jia Bude bid farewell to Chen Qingmo and left Taixuan Mountain.

……

"What's the situation with the Wei family?"

Chen Qingmo looked at Chen Weice, who was sitting at the head of the council hall, and asked in a deep voice.

Two years later, the Chen clan elected a new clan leader, Chen Weice, the third in the Wei generation, who had a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Sixth Uncle, Wei Yan, who was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the Wei Clan, has successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Foundation Establishment cultivator from Black Mountain City has already returned."

Chen Weice organized the intelligence he had and presented it to the elders in the council hall.

As the only cultivator of the "Wei" generation among them, he still felt some pressure.

"That kid from the Wei family is pretty good. After failing once, he actually managed to break through without relying on Foundation Establishment Pills. That's impressive perseverance."

Chen Mingzheng sighed in admiration.

The disciples of the Wei family in the Yuanjian Sect have not yet grown up. They originally estimated that it would take more than ten years for the Wei family to regain control of Dongze County.

But this has exceeded their expectations.

"There are still barbarian tribes in Dongze County. If the Wei clan does not have a Foundation Establishment cultivator to protect them, their disciples will likely continue to be attacked and killed."

"Under immense pressure, Wei Yan's potential has been forced out."

Chen Qingmo nodded. He had given Wei Yan some guidance back then and still remembered him.

"The Wei family's predicament has been resolved, which is a good thing for the Chen family. We will send someone to deliver some pills to stabilize our cultivation as a congratulatory gift."

Chen Mingzheng said something to Chen Weice.

After finishing their business discussion, Chen Qingmo walked out of the council hall and stretched.

The recent actions of the Yuanjian Sect have affected the families below them. There are too many things to handle, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators of these families must participate in the discussions.

He has finally found some free time.

After Chen Qingmo returned to his cave, he received a telepathic message from Chen Weisheng.

He shook his head helplessly and got up to look for his son.

"Wei Sheng, what's making you so excited to call me over?"

When Chen Weisheng transmitted his voice, he sounded very happy. Chen Qingmo pondered for a while, wondering what could be so important in the family that warranted such a reaction.

"Father, Master sent me a message today; he... has broken through to the Golden Core realm!"

Chen Weisheng was a little excited, and even paused for a moment before speaking.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou has broken through to the Golden Core stage?!"

Chen Qingmo looked surprised, and it took him a moment to recover.

Zhou Tinglong was in seclusion during the family competition, but unexpectedly, a few years later, he had already broken through to the next level.

But thinking about the effects of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir, Chen Qingmo calmed down considerably.

Zhou Tinglong was born with three spiritual roots and had a high talent for swordsmanship. Combined with the Golden Core cultivation technique, the Surging Wave Sword Art, which was extremely suitable for him, his success rate in breaking through to the Golden Core stage was not low.

"This is good news. Your master sent a message asking you to come to the sect for a gathering."

Chen Qingmo chuckled.

Chen Weisheng was a disciple whom Zhou Tinglong greatly favored, so it was not unexpected that he would be summoned by the message.
