The purpose of the grand ceremony was simple— To openly declare to all members of the Chu family: This, is our family's Guardian Beast! A massive serpent head descended from the pitch-black clouds, gazing down upon the crowd! Not to mention the other residents of Qingyang Town, Even the Chu family members found their breath catching. Though nearly everyone had known beforehand that the Beast God was a giant serpent, Witnessing it firsthand still brought an unprecedented sense of oppression! Some nearly fainted from terror. "Is this our Beast God?" Regardless, everyone now had a clear view of the Beast God's form. "I remember when the Beast God saved us from the Ma family last time, it didn't look !" "And its size was nowhere near as enormous!" Someone voiced their confusion. The Beast God's current form must be at least 300 meters long! The Second Elder explained: "That's because the Beast God's bloodline has undergone reversion and its cultivation has advanced!" Indeed, as they said, Long Yuan's cultivation had improved once more. Under the influence of the dense Heaven-Earth Essence released by the Saint-grade Heaven-Earth Essence Vein, His cultivation had broken through to mid-stage sixth-tier Demon Emperor. "All members of the Chu family must remember—without the Beast God, our family would have perished long ago, and we wouldn't have today. Henceforth, the Beast God holds the highest status in our family. Anyone who disrespects the Beast God shall face clan punishment without mercy!" Chu Tianyang's energy-infused voice resonated in the ears of all Chu family members. "We obey the Ancestor's decree!" Long Yuan nodded slightly. The so-called grand ceremony only required his appearance, To let everyone know of his existence. What concerned him more was the current completion progress of his system mission. After this period of development, The population had increased from over 3,000 to more than 5,000—a significant rise, but still only halfway to mission completion. It seemed this task would take considerable time to finish! "This reward won't come easy!" Long Yuan estimated it might take about a year. After all, as martial artists, most people focused solely on cultivation, with few indulging in procreation. Fortunately, the current Heaven-Earth Essence was abundant, So his own cultivation wouldn't be affected. Having made his appearance, Long Yuan returned to the thunderclouds. He wouldn't involve himself in the Chu family's management— His only requirement, Was for the Chu family to help him quickly complete the system mission. Google seaʀᴄh novelFɪre.net The Dragon Emperor Palace floated amidst the thunderclouds. With a flick of his body, Long Yuan instantly entered the palace. "Mid-stage sixth-tier Demon Emperor!" After Long Yuan departed, Chu Yan heard Medicine Elder's voice in his mind. "Sixth-tier Demon Emperor?" "The Beast God's growth speed is that fast?" Chu Yan exclaimed in amazement. Not long ago during their last meeting, it had only been a fifth-tier Demon King, yet now it had become a sixth-tier Demon Emperor! "Your Beast God is quite mysterious—it defies conventional understanding!" Chu Tianyang personally led several clansmen, along with the Essence Stones given by the Beast God, toward Flame Sun City. There, they would establish their family's foothold! As Long Yuan had said, His Ten Thousand Spirits Physique cultivated at remarkable speed, Having now reached early-stage fifth-tier Martial King. Chu Tianyang entered the thunderclouds to meet with Long Yuan. "Your mission in Flame Sun City isn't just to establish the Chu family's reputation—you must also secure inheritances for alchemists, artifact forgers, and formation masters. Only by nurturing our own alchemists and forgers can we achieve true supremacy!" Long Yuan instructed. "If you encounter difficulties beyond your capability, send word immediately—I will intervene!" After Chu Tianyang's departure, Chu Jingyue brought several people into the Dragon Emperor Palace. They were the four elders—Great Elder Chu Hongtu, Second Elder Chu Hongxiao, Seventh Elder Chu Jianchen, and Eighth Elder Chu Yunfei—along with three young members of the Chu family: Chu Zhan, Chu Shan, and Chu Liuying. These were three young clansmen Chu Jingyue had selected for their outstanding character! "Is this the Beast God's dwelling?" Chu Zhan curiously examined the palace's interior space. Had he not seen himself entering a grand hall, He might have thought he was still outside! "Moreover, the Heaven-Earth Essence here is far denser than at our family residence!" "We pay respects to the Beast God!" Seeing the giant serpent coiled high above, everyone hurriedly bowed. "Have you brought them all?" As Long Yuan spoke, pure white energy spheres materialized before them— Exactly seven in number! "Each of you, choose one and begin fusion!" These were the remaining seven origins— Four physique origins, And three martial soul origins! Rather than keeping them stored away, It was better to use them promptly to strengthen the Chu family's foundation! These origins were all Spirit-grade, moreover high-grade Spirit-grade—nothing to scoff at. "Young ones, you may choose first!" Great Elder Chu Hongtu stroked his beard. The other three elders nodded in agreement. "Heh, in that case I won't stand on ceremony!" Chu Zhan stepped forward, First bowing respectfully to the Beast God, Then with just a glance, Selected one of the origins. Since appearances revealed nothing, he might as well pick randomly! Chu Shan and Chu Liuying also chose their origins after paying respects. Though all under twenty years old, Chu Shan appeared more steady and composed. Chu Liuying was the only girl among them, similar in age to Chu Zhan. She wore a pale yellow dress with a slender figure—her features plain, but her eyes shone with remarkable spirit! Next came the four elders: Great Elder Chu Hongtu, Second Elder Chu Hongxiao, Seventh Elder Chu Jianchen, and Eighth Elder Chu Yunfei! Each selected an origin. "Begin refining and fusing! I shall assist you." Long Yuan addressed them all. Soon, beams of light began merging into their bodies. Watching from the side, Chu Jingyue swelled with excitement— Their Chu family was about to gain seven more powerhouses! Long Yuan began aiding them in refining the origins. Some martial artists training in the Nine Heavens Mountain Range noticed changes in Qingyang Town. Due to the fifth-tier Heaven-Earth Essence Vein, the town's essence had grown much denser, ideal for cultivation. Many inquired about the cause, But none could uncover the truth! Chu Tianyang had sealed all information about Long Yuan capturing the essence vein. People only knew it involved the Beast God, But the exact relationship remained unknown! With more martial artists gathering, Yet none dared act recklessly toward the Chu family— Not with a fourth-tier Martial Sect expert overseeing the town. However, disciples from other factions reported these changes to their sects, Destining Qingyang Town to become an epicenter of brewing storms. Yet regardless of external turbulence, The Chu family continued steady development. Marriages proceeded, children were born, and the family grew steadily. After nearly a month, Long Yuan finally helped Chu Hongtu and the others fully refine their origins. Chu Zhan's expression lit up with excitement. With a thought, His skin transformed into a bronze hue. "Great Strength Diamond Physique?"
