Chapter 412: Chapter 405 Chu Country Faction Division (First Update, Please Subscribe)
On the mountaintop, in the small pavilion.
Lu Xuanji sat calmly in a chair, leisurely sitting, holding a wine glass in his hand, sipping alcohol casually.
His sons, Lu Xian and Lu Fan, among others, went to greet the guests; as for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Purple Mansion Cultivators, naturally the appropriate cultivators from the Lu Family went to entertain them.
As for him, he should still sit here!
If he went out to entertain, many guests would eat awkwardly and speak awkwardly.
Beside him, True Monarch Xi Yue sat there, smiling as he sipped tea and said, "Congratulations to you, you just went for a walk outside and acquired a Fifth Grade Spiritual Peach Tree, such good luck! I have a Five Elements Fruit Tree of Fifth Grade on Purple Sun Mountain, but it cost me dearly!"
"Just luck!"
Lu Xuanji smiled and replied.
"Let’s not talk about that, let’s discuss the power distribution in Chu Country!" True Monarch Xi Yue started speaking, "In Chu Country, there are sects, loose cultivators, cultivation immortality clans. All kinds of forces are entangled together, often in situations where you are in me, and I am in you!"
"And in Chu Country, those who truly dominate everything are mainly the one hundred and thirty-five Nascent Soul Cultivators, they are the rulers of Chu Country."
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Xuanji said, "But I heard from the Grand Elder that Chu Country only has seventy-three Nascent Soul Elders!"
True Monarch Xi Yue said, "The Grand Elder of your Lu Family is merely at Golden Core cultivation, what he knows is half-true and half-false, in reality, the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs is far more than imagined. It’s just that many times, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs are traveling outside, or in seclusion, or comprehending some secret techniques."
"Or guarding some secret realms, rarely appearing in the common view. Many cultivators can’t see them because their level is insufficient! Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you will find there are many Nascent Soul Cultivators."
Lu Xuanji nodded, showing some understanding.
Just like in a farmer’s eyes, the emperor merely digs with a golden hoe, eating meat-filled buns every day.
He remembered, back when he was weak, just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he foolishly thought the Dan Yang Sect only had three Golden Core Ancestors, with no Nascent Soul Cultivators at all;
It was only after reaching Purple Mansion did he know that the Dan Yang Sect had Nascent Soul Cultivators, quite a number of them.
Only after reaching Nascent Soul did he truly know the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"How many Nascent Soul Cultivators are there in the Dan Yang Sect?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"This is hard to say!" True Monarch Xi Yue said, "Theoretically, you are both the clan leader of the Lu Family and a Guest Minister Elder of the Dan Yang Sect. Once at the Nascent Soul Realm, the so-called sect distinctions are no longer important. Even the Celestial Spirit Sect, the Dan Yang Sect, and the Backer Sect, one mainly focused on alchemy, one on artifact refining, and one on arrays, their divisions are not that clear."
"The so-called sect disputes, struggles for power among cultivation immortality clans, loose cultivators against clans, and so on, are no longer important. What matters is standing on the side of Chu Country, joining forces to resist Demon Cultivation from Yue Country, the Demon Race of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the demon race of the East Sea, etc. Have you seen any wars with Nascent Soul Cultivators over these years? Or wars among the three major sects? Because there’s simply no need!"
At this point, True Monarch Xi Yue began to discuss the broader situation of Chu Country.
"For Chu Country’s one hundred and thirty-odd Nascent Soul True Monarchs to coexist harmoniously, someone must be leading?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Chu Country has five Celestial Venerables in charge, namely East Pole Celestial Venerable, Life Celestial Venerable, Earth Celestial Venerable, Beidou Celestial Venerable, and Dan Yang Celestial Venerable. Among them, the East Pole Celestial Venerable is the most formidable, rumored to already be in the late stage of Divinity Transformation.
Because these five Divinity Transformations are in charge, all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs have no choice but to choose harmony. As for those disharmonious, those choosing to destroy, Nascent Soul Cultivators, they’ve long been wiped out!"
True Monarch Xi Yue continued, "In Chu Country, these one hundred and thirty-odd Nascent Soul True Monarchs are divided into these five factions, and we belong to the line of Dan Yang Celestial Venerable."
Lu Xuanji nodded, also confirming his faction.
Dan Yang Celestial Venerable is his backing.
Indeed, this world itself is a vast network of connections.
In the past, True Monarch Xi Yue was his backing, Dan Yang Celestial Venerable was True Monarch Xi Yue’s backing, perhaps there is an even more powerful existence that is Dan Yang Celestial Venerable’s backing.
A series of backers, each relying on the other.
True Monarch Xi Yue continued, "East Pole Celestial Venerable, who founded the Celestial Spirit Sect back in the day, also left behind the cultivation immortality clan Ye Family in Chu Country. But over the long years, the six disciples of East Pole Celestial Venerable successively passed away. In the Celestial Spirit Sect, Dan Yang Sect, there are some of his grand-disciples and great-grand-disciples, but East Pole Celestial Venerable has neither acknowledged nor paid attention to them!"
"The Ye Family, which is the lineage of Ye Linglong and Ye Wanyi, is the descendant of East Pole Celestial Venerable. East Pole Celestial Venerable once had a Dao companion, who, however, passed away without offspring. Now the Ye Family lineage belongs to the descendants left by East Pole Celestial Venerable’s brother. The relationship is also quite tenuous, with the bloodline having been severed for untold generations, and the relationship has thinned over time!"
"In Chu Country, the so-called East Pole lineage is both strong and weak. Strong, because of a trace of connection with this Celestial Venerable; weak, because after dozens of generations, the relationship is quite tenuous!"
"Life Celestial Venerable once left offspring in Chu Country, passing down a bloodline, the Zhao Family lineage of Chu Country is the descendants of this Celestial Venerable. This Celestial Venerable once had eighteen sons, but most passed away. Now, only two sons remain, one is True Monarch Ten Thousand Stars, the other is True Monarch Ink Feather. They are the sons of the Celestial Venerable and the hardest to provoke, best to stay away."
"Of course, if truly offended, then just step forward and beat them up, as long as no one dies, that Celestial Venerable couldn’t be bothered to intervene."
"Earth Celestial Venerable took in twelve disciples, but all passed away, although he does have many grand-disciples and great-grand-disciples!"
"Beidou Celestial Venerable was originally a loose cultivator, without disciples or concubines, he merely guided some loose cultivators, so these loose cultivators automatically aligned themselves with the Beidou lineage!"
"Dan Yang Celestial Venerable, once had twelve wives and concubines, but most have passed away, only two are alive, they are True Monarch Hundred Spirits and True Monarch Ice Soul; he once had fifteen disciples, but only one is alive, named True Monarch Feiyu; he had nine sons and daughters, but most have passed away, only one son and one daughter remain, named True Monarch Scorching Sun and True Monarch Bright Moon."
"By the way, True Monarch Dan Yang’s surname is Lu, according to bloodline calculations, you should be one of Dan Yang Ancestor’s descendants. If you meet Dan Yang Celestial Venerable, you should call him Ancestor."
"Dan Yang Celestial Venerable is actually my Ancestor?"
Lu Xuanji said in surprise, "But is this Ancestor reliable?"
Dan Yang Ancestor and he share a blood relationship, but this lineage has stretched over hundreds of generations and has already become very thin.
Now, in Chu Country, there are about two billion people with the surname Lu, and all these people are descendants of Dan Yang Ancestor.
There is a blood relationship, but it is very thin.
Just like on Earth, someone from the Liu family in the 21st century saying, my ancestor is Liu Bang.
