Chapter 477 - 639 : Black cloud spirit leopard
After all, he had borrowed the Black Cloud Spirit Leopard for quite a while. Wentian felt he should show something no matter what.
The Zhao family was naturally overwhelmed with favor.
After all, the Jianyi family’s current status and strength were already above the Zhao family’s, enough to stand alongside the three old Golden Core aristocratic families.
Wentian did not stay long. After giving thanks, he returned to Dongxi.
Half a month later,
The matter of the Jianyi family intimidating the Cao and Sima families spread throughout Great Wei, Great Jin, and Great Liang.
All aristocratic families and forces had already raised their reverence toward the Jianyi family to a level equal to the three great families.
During this period,
The Jianyi family was extremely busy.
After all, they had to gather all forces in the eleven commanderies.
Wentian simply had all Foundation Establishment aristocratic families, and all willing Qi Refining aristocratic families and Martial Dao aristocratic families, join the Yueling Alliance.
No, calling it the Yueling Alliance was no longer suitable.
Wentian gave it a new name: the Immortal Martial Alliance.
The main alliance was in Guangling, while branch alliances were established in each of the other commanderies. The various commanderies were managed in the form of an alliance.
The Immortal Martial Alliance not only restrained and managed each commandery’s immortal cultivation and Martial Dao aristocratic families, it also handled mortal affairs.
Of course, there were many details.
Wentian left all of them to Jianyi Mingyuan and the others to handle. He only needed to review and approve things at the end.
Three months later,
The Immortal Martial Alliance branches of each commandery were established one after another and entered the right track.
Whether mortals, Martial Dao aristocratic families, or immortal cultivation aristocratic families, all could obtain benefits.
The Jianyi family did not collect spiritual taxes, but these taxes had to be handed over to the Immortal Martial Alliance and used to develop the Immortal Martial Alliance. These spiritual taxes did not only include spirit rice, but also spirit herbs, spiritual materials, mortal grain, and so on.
Of course, these were definitely divided by different levels.
It was impossible to have mortals hand over spirit herbs and the like.
Mortals, martial artists, and immortal cultivators were governed separately, yet they also coexisted harmoniously.
The Jianyi family’s way of doing things naturally won the hearts of the people in the various commanderies.
Wentian only felt the Jianyi family’s fortune rising every day, as though it only lacked one opportunity to transform.
"Chonghui, send down the notice. In one and a half months, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, my Jianyi family will hold the Jianyi Grand Ceremony, sincerely inviting Foundation Establishment aristocratic families and the various Golden Core aristocratic families to attend.
"As for those below Foundation Establishment, only members of the Immortal Martial Alliance need come.
"As for the venue, there will certainly be many people coming this time.
"Set it at the Guangling branch. Dongxi is ultimately not as spacious as the Guangling branch."
"Yes, Great Elder!"
As Wentian’s prestige grew ever greater, even the Jianyi clansmen uniformly called him Great Elder from then on. If he resigned in the future, they would call him Old Ancestor.
The Jianyi family was finally going to hold the Jianyi Grand Ceremony.
The Foundation Establishment aristocratic families of Great Wei, Great Jin, and Great Liang all heard the news but did not move rashly. They wanted to prepare generous gifts to win the Jianyi family’s favor.
After all, the various families all saw the Jianyi family’s potential.
In fifty years, they had gone from mortal commoners to being comparable to a Golden Core aristocratic family. This was unprecedented!
Barring accidents, they would certainly surpass the three old Golden Core aristocratic families, the Cao, Sima, and Liu families, in the future.
In the blink of an eye, one and a half months passed.
The various aristocratic families gathered in Guangling.
The Cao, Sima, and Liu families all sent Foundation Establishment completion cultivators to attend.
The many cultivators presented gifts, and it was extremely lively.
Afterward, Wentian led the Jianyi clansmen, the vassal families, and the various Immortal Martial Alliance families to offer sacrifice and report to heaven and earth.
In an instant, all fortune seemed to find a backbone and surged into the clan genealogy one after another.
The clan genealogy once again fell into transformation.
Afterward, the Jianyi family held competitions.
They were divided into competitions for late Qi Refining juniors and early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The Qi Refining competition had three ranked prizes: the champion received a fine-grade defensive magic artifact, the second place was bestowed three high-grade Divine Sense Pills, and the third place was granted three bottles of high-grade Qi Gathering Pills.
The Foundation Establishment competition was the same. Anyone whose cultivation matched early Foundation Establishment could participate.
The champion received a top-grade magic artifact, the second place received a low-grade Chongxu Pill, and the third place was granted one Jade Sprout Pill.
This made no few Foundation Establishment aristocratic families moved.
As for first-rank aristocratic families and the Cao and Sima families, they had no early Foundation Establishment cultivators present, so they had no chance to participate.
The Jianyi family did not participate. Those participating were all vassals of the Jianyi family.
Whether the Qi Refining competition or the Foundation Establishment competition, both were extremely intense.
The main reason was that the prizes were indeed extremely generous.
A fine-grade defensive magic artifact was not something every core Qi Refining completion disciple of a Foundation Establishment aristocratic family possessed.
As for a top-grade magic artifact, most who had just entered early Foundation Establishment might not necessarily have one.
A low-grade Chongxu Pill could be used to attack the mid-stage bottleneck.
The Jade Sprout Pill was a rare second-rank healing and life-saving pill.
The Jianyi Grand Ceremony lasted from seven in the morning until five in the afternoon before ending.
The various aristocratic families departed.
Most of the Jianyi clansmen also returned to Dongxi.
The clan genealogy’s transformation ended. The birth chance of eighth-rank bloodline disciples in the family increased to twenty percent. Alongside this, it could also view the life experiences of deceased Jianyi clansmen.
Thinking of this, Wentian called Jianyi Chonghui over.
"Chonghui, in the next few days, choose someone in the clan to compile my Jianyi family’s genealogy and clan annals. Over these years, your great-grandfather has been busy cultivating and planning the Jianyi family’s future, and neglected this matter.
"Now my Jianyi family can enjoy at least thirty to fifty years of peace. This matter should also be put on the agenda."
