117: Cultivation Frenzy

When Long Aotian returned, the entire Long Family became joyous, and all The Long family Disciples had sincere, happy smiles on their faces.

After a heartfelt exchange, The Long family's high-ranking members held a Family meeting.

The Long family's three Great Ancestors, Dragon War God, Dragon War Emperor, and Dragon War Sovereign, all attended the meeting.

The only Supreme Guardian, Long Shijie, also attended the meeting!

Clan Chief Long Wudi and his Ten Family Guardians—Long Wuyou, Long Wujiang, Long Wuwei, Long Wubian, Long Wuji, Long Wuqian, Long Wuji, Long Wushang, and Long Wuque—all attended the meeting.

Family Head Long Bubai and his Ten Family Elders—Long Bushu, Long Bufan, Long Buhuai, Long Bucuo, Long Bulai, Long Buxiu, Long Buhuo, Long Buji, and Long Buxie—all attended the meeting.

Now that the Ao Generation had risen, the high-ranking members also agreed that the Young Lord and his Ten Disciples were also high-ranking figures of The Long family, and the Ten Disciples had returned from Zuoqiu.

Long Aomei, Long Aolan, Long Aozhu, Long Aoju, Long Aoxue, Long Aoyu, Long Aozhou, Long Aohong, Long Aohuang, and Long Aowu all attended the meeting.

In addition, Family Head Feng Keqiang, Clan Chief Feng Xiuyuan, Old Ancestor Feng Xian, and Wu Xin, one of the Grand Elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, also participated in this Long Family Family meeting.

Not only did the Feng Family and the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace attend the meeting, but Aunt Hua Buqi, who was visiting The Long family, also represented the Hua Family at this meeting, and Ao Jingtain represented Cloud Palace Dragon Peak.

It could be said that this was a special Long Family Family meeting.

Before the meeting began, Feng Keqiang spoke first. He was concerned that there might still be remnants of the Shi Family who had not been completely eliminated, posing a risk of retaliation against The Long family. Therefore, he sent Wu Xin to protect The Long family.

Facts proved his concern was correct; two Out-of-Body Realm Family Guardians of the Shi Family had indeed survived by chance. They harbored resentment and planned to retaliate against The Long family, but they were ultimately easily slain by Wu Xin, thereby averting a major crisis for The Long family.

Following this, Wu Xin stood up and stated her position: Feng Zixian was the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and also Long Aotian's fiancée, so protecting The Long family was her duty, and she would not shirk it.

Evidently, Wu Xin wanted to ease her relationship with Long Aotian, especially since Long Aotian had returned without concealing his Cultivation, and his Cultivation had astonishingly Breakthrough to the second stage of the Mahayana Realm. She no longer opposed this childhood engagement; instead, she wanted to actively promote it.

She often said that men would only hinder women's Cultivation speed, but the man in question also mattered. With Long Aotian's Cultivation soaring like a rocket, their Saintess would likely Cultivate even faster with him, so why would she object?

Regarding the goodwill shown by Wu Xin, Long Aotian ultimately chose to forgive her.

This crazy woman had already saved The Long family twice—the first time indirectly, and this time directly. Especially now that she had clearly changed her attitude, no longer opposing his engagement with Feng Zixian but instead supporting and promoting it, Long Aotian's perception of her had changed considerably.

After resolving the conflict between Wu Xin and Long Aotian, Feng Keqiang immediately said that he intended to invite The Long family to the Western Continent and asked for their opinion.

In response, Wu Xin promptly stood up again, representing the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and expressed their willingness to welcome The Long family to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and accept them.

The Long family remained silent.

Finally, Long Aotian spoke, thanking the Feng Family and the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace for their kindness, stating that The Long family would not leave the Eastern Barrens for now and would relocate the entire Family to Cloud Palace Dragon Peak.

Upon hearing this, Feng Keqiang immediately grew anxious, asking how they would leave the Eastern Barrens and Transmigrate the Yunmeng Marsh if they missed this opportunity.

Long Aotian, however, appeared very calm. He declared that he had a way for The Long family to Transmigrate the Yunmeng Marsh, and that soon, travel between the Eastern Barrens and the Eastern Continent would be unblocked, making it very simple for people to leave the Eastern Barrens.

Faced with Long Aotian's persistent insistence and the unanimous silence of the other high-ranking members of The Long family, Feng Keqiang was somewhat annoyed. He finally asked Long Aotian when he would go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to marry his daughter.

Everyone else also looked at Long Aotian, anticipating his answer. Long Aotian remained calm, saying that when Feng Zixian came of age, he would surely go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace... The Long family's unwillingness to follow the Feng Family to the Western Continent and leave the Eastern Barrens together was something Feng Keqiang had never expected, nor had the high-ranking members of the Feng Family, or even Wu Xin, ever imagined.

The people from the Feng Family and the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace ultimately left the main meeting room disappointed.

The Feng Family's purpose in staying in the Eastern Barrens for ten years before going to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was to bring The Long family with them. Now that The Long family had explicitly stated their unwillingness to leave together, the Feng Family had no choice but to change their plans.

Wu Xin used a secret technique to contact the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would arrive in the Eastern Barrens within ten days to pick up the Feng Family.

Thus, the two families, Long and Feng, went their separate ways: one to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace in the Western Continent, and the other remaining in the Eastern Barrens, moving to Cloud Palace Dragon Peak.

It is worth mentioning that, through Aunt Hua Buqi at the meeting, Long Aotian also learned that the Hua Family had successfully replaced the Shi Family, becoming one of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, receiving massive allocations of Cultivation resources. His grandfather had also Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm in one fell swoop, making it a double blessing for the Hua Family.

While congratulating her, Long Aotian asked Hua Buqi if she was willing to join Cloud Palace Dragon Peak with them. Hua Buqi agreed without a moment's hesitation.

Nearly two thousand Cultivation Disciples of The Long family, plus Hua Buqi, thus grandly relocated to Cloud Palace Dragon Peak.

Upon entering Dragon Peak, everyone was astonished.

Before this, they had not understood why Long Aotian insisted on staying in the Eastern Barrens and not leaving with the Feng Family. For this reason, although a small number of people said nothing, they harbored some dissatisfaction with Long Aotian in their hearts.

However, after entering Dragon Peak, they immediately understood that their Young Lord's decision was incredibly correct and wise.

The rich Spiritual Qi made them feel their Cultivation increasing even with every breath. The displeasure in their hearts instantly vanished, and they secretly blamed themselves, realizing they should not have had such emotions. How could the Young Lord possibly harm them?

By following the Young Lord, their Long Family would have more hope! And rise faster!

Especially when they considered it carefully: if they followed the Feng Family to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace now, would they, with their low strength, be well-regarded?

Staying in the Eastern Barrens to Cultivate in Cloud Palace Dragon Peak was different. Here, their Young Lord could make the decisions; they would not be bullied and could Cultivate in peace. With such high-quality Cultivation resources in Dragon Peak, they were also very confident that they could Cultivate themselves into powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Sky Ruins Continent's pyramid. The Young Lord said that he would have a way to leave the Eastern Barrens then, so why not leave with him at that time?

If their strength was insufficient, rushing to leave would only invite abuse and death.

The Feng Family not staying to join The Long family at Cloud Palace Dragon Peak, they now felt, was a huge loss for the Feng Family instead.

Feeling the rich Spiritual Qi of Dragon Peak, every member of The Long family was inwardly Excited, their gratitude towards Long Aotian and Ao Jingtain inexpressible.

At this moment, they all saw the hope of The Long family truly rising and becoming a truly powerful Cultivation Family!

The moment they entered Dragon Peak, The Long family held another meeting. Everyone participated in this meeting, which had one main content: to declare all information within Dragon Peak as top secret, and that the news of such high-quality Cultivation resources within Dragon Peak must never be leaked.

The Long family, of course, understood this deeply!

Even if they died, they must never reveal anything about Dragon Peak!

Otherwise!

For the entire Dragon Peak, it would be a catastrophe!

Now that Dragon Peak had become their Long Family's new home, Dragon Peak suffering a catastrophe meant their Long Family suffering a catastrophe.

They understood this point... Dragon Peak was divided into Outer Sect, Inner Sect, and Core Sect.

Nearly two thousand Long Family Cultivation Disciples were admitted according to their Cultivation Realm:

Those with Cultivation below the Golden Core Realm remained in the Outer Sect.

Those with Cultivation below the Spirit Division Realm remained in the Inner Sect.

Spirit Division, Mahayana, and Tribulation Transcendence Realm entered the Core Sect!

Thus, over ninety percent of The Long family remained in the Outer Sect, while the rest, including the Clan Chief and Old Ancestors, remained in the Inner Sect.

They were all Family, and Long Aotian dared not show favoritism; otherwise, everyone would have to enter the Core Sect. Restricting them outside the Core Sect was also a form of encouragement for their Cultivation.

At this moment, Hua Buqi was also extremely excited. She had made an incredibly correct decision: to closely follow in the footsteps of her precious Nephew and join Dragon Peak with The Long family.

The Spiritual Qi in the Inner Sect was at least ten times denser than in the Outer Sect, and the Outer Sect's Spiritual Qi was at least a hundred times denser than the most concentrated Spiritual Qi in other parts of Cloud Palace. This shows just how dense the Spiritual Qi in Dragon Peak was, supported by fifty top-grade spiritual ore veins and a powerful Spirit Gathering Formation.

Upon entering the Inner Sect, they were stunned by the dense Spiritual Qi. If the Inner Sect's Spiritual Qi was already so dense, what about the Core Sect, which was even more Advanced than the Inner Sect? They could barely imagine it.

If they were to Cultivate in the Core Sect, wouldn't it be even more effective?

For a time, the Outer Sect Disciples who couldn't enter the Inner Sect were all working hard to get into the Inner Sect, and the Inner Sect Disciples, after being shocked by the dense Spiritual Qi, were also working hard to get into the Core Sect.

A Cultivation craze thus swept through The Long family...
