109: Chapter 109 Ten Years, Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator

His Physical Body was currently only at the Late Stage of Low Grade Tier 2. If he absorbed these Tier 2 Monster Beasts, he might reach the standard of Medium Grade Tier 2.

He exchanged over sixty thousand battle merits for five Low Grade Tier 2 Azure Jade Pills, and another three Medium Grade Tier 2 Azure Jade Pills. With these Medicinal Pills, he could quickly step into the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Over the next two months, as the Human Race dispatched great armies to successively break through the forces of the Yao Race in Wei and Lu, after recovering these two states, the Human Race continued southward to attack the State of Zheng.

However, with the high-level Yao Beasts of the Yao Race dying one after another, and the Blood Fiend Sect seeing that the situation was unfavorable and secretly fleeing, several of the Yao Race's teleportation Formations were destroyed and left unrepaired, causing the reinforcements of the Yao Race to be unable to arrive in time. Therefore, the two great Yao Kings of the Yao Race ultimately had no choice but to lead their armies to retreat deep into the Wanshou Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing raised his cultivation to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment within these two months, and on this basis, his cultivation also advanced quite a bit.

As soon as he came out of seclusion, he saw a large number of Human Race Cultivators joyfully celebrating the victory of this war. At the same time, because the three Nascent Soul factions had decided to redivide the territories of the three states including the State of Zheng.

This meant that countless factions would usher in a period of rapid development as a result.

The Chen Family naturally had to seize this opportunity. As long as they grasped it, relying on the previous resources and the merits he had established, not to mention becoming a Purple Mansion Family, having several more Foundation Establishment Cultivators emerge in the Chen Family would be completely unproblematic.

Having made up his mind, Chen Changqing immediately sent a message back to the Family, discussing with them how to handle things next.

After a dozen days, the three Nascent Soul Sects led by the Qinglian Sword Sect, together with dozens of Golden Core Sects, carved up the territories of the three states of Zheng, Wei, and Lu. As for the remaining Cultivators of the former Wei and Lu Countrys, they were overseen by the Golden Core Masters of the two states.

As for the Cultivators of the State of Zheng, they had all died at the hands of Yao Beasts.

However, the territory allocation that the Chen Family had anticipated did not include a share for them. This was also very normal; to the few Nascent Soul factions and dozens of Golden Core factions, the vast territory of the three states was nothing much.

Of course, although the Chen Family did not obtain any territory, they obtained entry quotas for the Yuxu Sect—one quota every twenty years, plus two entry quotas every twenty years from the Xuantian Sect.

This type of reward was not exclusive to the Chen Family; it was also open to quite a few Families.

It was just that not all Families had such a reward; it was targeted only at Cultivators who went deep into the territory of the Yao Race and those who rendered great service on the battlefield.

Thus, various countries entered a period of steady development.

...

Spring departed and autumn came; in the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

Inside an Immortal Cave on Wuyue Mountain, Chen Changjie was undergoing a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. She had completely transformed Spiritual Qi into spiritual liquid, leaving only the final step: condensing her Dao foundation.

Outside her Immortal Cave, Chen Yuanzhan and a few others were waiting. However, judging by their furrowed brows and distressed expressions, they were undoubtedly very worried about Chen Changjie's attempt at Foundation Establishment.

This was also normal. Over these past ten years, a total of four or five clan members of the Chen Family had undergone a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, but only Chen Changyue had succeeded, while everyone else failed. This led the people of the Chen Family to have a certain understanding of the dangers and hardships of the Foundation Establishment hurdle.

However, they couldn't be blamed; mainly because the very first few Foundation Establishments had all succeeded. Such a Foundation Establishment success rate far surpassed other Families, and even Purple Mansion factions might not have such a probability.

As one of the few remaining Genius Cultivators among the Chang-generation, Chen Changjie still had a quite high probability of successfully achieving Foundation Establishment.

As soon as Chen Changqing came out of seclusion, he discovered Chen Yuanzhan and the others outside Chen Changjie's Immortal Cave. Feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart, he came over to this place.

"Dad, what happened?" Chen Changqing looked at Chen Yuanzhan and the others, asking.

"Changqing is here! Changjie is undergoing Foundation Establishment, and we are waiting for her."

"Changqing."

"Seventh Uncle."

The others paid their respects one by one.

"Mn." Chen Changqing nodded.

"Is Changjie undergoing Foundation Establishment?" Chen Changqing thought to himself. He hadn't expected even Changjie to have already begun Foundation Establishment. Over these past ten years, he had been in seclusion, so he wasn't very familiar with the current state of the Family.

Although these ten years consisted of nothing but Cultivation, his cultivation had been elevated to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, making him undoubtedly the one with the highest cultivation in the Family. Moreover, this record would likely continue to be maintained for decades or even hundreds of years.

As for Chen Xuanyi, he had encountered a Bottleneck. After Chen Changyue achieved Foundation Establishment seven years ago, he left the Family to Cultivate, and by now he should have resolved the Bottleneck of the third layer of Foundation Establishment.

As for Li Qingling, her cultivation had also progressed by leaps and bounds over these years, already reaching the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. Originally, she could have been even faster, but she spent a lot of time on Alchemy, so she was still a High Grade Tier 2 Alchemist now.

As for the rest of the Family, their cultivation had also progressed very quickly over the years. Coupled with the Family's year-round strategy of encouraging Mortals to reproduce, plus the fact that the Chen Family would also recruit some skilled outer-surname Cultivators, the Cultivators of the Chen Family now already exceeded two hundred.

Such a large number of Cultivators also alleviated the situation back then when the Chen Family lacked manpower to control their territory.

Another hour later, Chen Changjie's Immortal Cave opened, and a somewhat frail figure emerged from within. Chen Changjie's complexion was pale, but the Spiritual Pressure emanating from her body far surpassed that of Qi Refining Cultivators. Chen Changqing saw at a glance that Chen Changjie had stepped into Foundation Establishment.

He praised, "Changjie, congratulations on your Foundation Establishment."

Hearing this, the others were somewhat startled, and immediately became happy. A young woman stepped forward to support her.

"Hehe, Seventh Brother, it was pure luck, how could I compare to you? Uncle Yuanzhan, ..." Chen Changjie stuck out her tongue at Chen Changqing, laughed and spoke, and then greeted Chen Yuanzhan and the others.

"Swallow it." Chen Changqing took out a green porcelain bottle.

After Chen Changjie took it and opened it to take a look, she was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Inside was a Tier 2 spirit-restoring pill, which was extremely expensive. However, she was planning to refuse; she truly could not casually accept such a precious item, after all, Big Brother Changqing also needed resources to Cultivate.

"We are Family, why be so polite? You won't even accept what Seventh Brother gives you." Chen Changqing spoke with a feigned tone of reprimand.

Hearing this, Chen Changjie revealed a smile and said, "Then thank you, Seventh Brother."

"Let's leave first then! Let Changjie recover." Chen Yuanzhan waved his hand, and everyone followed Chen Yuanzhan away.

Chen Changqing gave a few words of instruction, and then also left to head home.

Arriving home, the appearance of his mother, Li Chengxiu, had not changed much since his earliest memories, because she was only over sixty years old. To a Qi Refining Cultivator, this age was still very young. However, she never focused on Cultivation, so her cultivation was very low, only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining. During this time, it was not that Chen Changqing had never planned to use resources to pile up his mother's cultivation, but she herself was unwilling. Rather than wasting resources on her, it was better to leave those resources to the young people.

Precisely because of this, even if Chen Changqing wanted to help her achieve Foundation Establishment, there was no way. As for clan members of the Yuan-generation such as Chen Yuanzhan, although there were resources back then, their cultivation was low. Now that their cultivation was high, they had missed the optimal age for Foundation Establishment. Yet, they found joy in it. Perhaps for them, as long as the younger generation of the Family could lead the Family to grow stronger, that was enough.

As for the Xuan-generation clan members, aside from Chen Xuanyi, the old Clan Chief had passed away a few years ago after reaching his limit.

Before his death, even his expression carried peace and serenity.
