26: Opportunity!

The purpose of the grand ceremony was simple: to openly and honestly tell all the Chu Family that this was the Guardian Beast of their Family!

A massive snake head descended from the pitch-black clouds, looking down at everyone!

At that moment, let alone the others in Qingyang Town, even the Chu family members felt their breath hitch.

Even though almost everyone already knew in advance that the Beast God was a giant python, seeing it now still brought a sense of unprecedented pressure!

Especially those who had never seen the Beast God before; they were almost scared to the point of rolling their eyes back.

"Is this our Beast God?"

But regardless, everyone was able to see the appearance of the Beast God head-on.

"I remember that last time the Beast God saved us from the Ma Family, it didn't look like this!"

"And its size was nowhere near as massive as it is now!"

Someone asked in confusion.

The Beast God's body size must be at least over 300 meters now!

The Second Elder explained, "That is because the Beast God's Bloodline Return to Ancestry has improved its cultivation!"

Indeed, as they said, Long Yuan's cultivation had improved once again. Under the influence of the dense Essence of Heaven and Earth released by the Saint-Grade Heaven and Earth Essence Vein, his cultivation had broken through to the Middle Stage of the 6th-Order Demon Sovereign.

"All Chu Family members must remember: if not for the Beast God, our Chu Family would have long since perished, and we would not have today. Therefore, from this day forward, the Beast God holds the highest status in our Chu Family. Anyone who does not respect the Beast God shall be dealt with according to Family rules, without mercy!"

Chu Tianyang's voice, imbued with energy, echoed in the ears of all the Chu Family members.

"We will strictly obey the Old Ancestor's orders!"

Long Yuan nodded. The so-called grand ceremony only required him to show his face so that everyone would know of his existence.

What he cared more about was the current completion progress of the System task.

After this period of development, the number of people had increased from over 3,000 to over 5,000. It had increased quite a bit, but it was still about halfway to completing the task.

It looked like this task would take a very long time to complete!

"This reward isn't easy to get!"

Long Yuan estimated it would probably take about a year.

After all, as Martial Artists, many were focused on Cultivation, and very few would be obsessed with procreation.

Fortunately, the current Essence of Heaven and Earth was very dense, so it did not affect his own Cultivation at all.

Having shown his face, Long Yuan returned to the thunderclouds. He would not participate in the management of the Chu Family; all he needed to do was let the Chu Family help him quickly complete the System task.

At this moment, the Dragon Emperor Palace was also floating in the thunderclouds. Long Yuan's body swayed, and he instantly entered the hall.

"Middle Stage of the 6th-Order Demon Sovereign!"

After Long Yuan left, the voice of Elder Yao sounded in Chu Yan's mind.

"6th-Order Demon Sovereign?"

"Is the Beast God's growth speed really this fast?"

Chu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Not long ago when they met, it was only a Fifth-Order Demon King, but now it had become a 6th-Order Demon Sovereign!

"Your Beast God is very mysterious; you cannot look at it with conventional eyes!"

After the grand ceremony, Chu Tianyang personally took several clansmen, along with the Essence Stones given to him by the Beast God, and headed to Yan Yang City. They were going to establish their Chu Family's base there!

Just as Long Yuan had said, his Ten Thousand Spirit Physique cultivated very quickly, and he had now reached the Early Stage of the 5th-Order Martial King.

Before leaving, Chu Tianyang entered the thunderclouds to meet Long Yuan.

"This time, when you enter Yan Yang City, not only must you make the Chu Family's name known, but it would be best to obtain the Legacy of Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Formation Masters. Only by cultivating our own Alchemists and Artifact Refiners will we have the true path to success!"

Long Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Beast God!"

"If you encounter difficulties you cannot solve, send someone to relay the message back in time, and I will take action!"

After Chu Tianyang left, Chu Jingyue brought several people into the Dragon Emperor Palace.

It was the Grand Elder and the other three, along with three of the Chu Family's younger generation! They were Chu Zhan, Chu Shan, and Chu Liuying.

These were the three Chu Family members with excellent character whom Chu Jingyue had selected from the younger generation!

"Is this the Beast God's residence?"

Chu Zhan curiously examined the space inside the Dragon Emperor Palace. If he hadn't seen himself walk into a great hall at the beginning, he would have thought he was still outside!

"And the Essence of Heaven and Earth here is even much denser than back at the Family!"

"Greetings, Beast God!"

Seeing the giant python spiraling in the high sky, everyone hurriedly saluted.

"Have you brought everyone? Then let's begin!"

Long Yuan finished speaking, and balls of pure white energy appeared before everyone—not more, not less, exactly seven of them!

"Each of you pick one and begin the Fusion!"

These were the remaining seven Origins, including four Physique Origins and three Martial Soul Origins!

Rather than keeping such things, it was better to use them as soon as possible to increase the Chu Family's foundation!

These Origins were all Spirit Rank, and they were all High Grade Spirit Rank, so they wouldn't be bad at all.

"You three little ones, choose first!"

The Grand Elder, Chu Hongtu, stroked his beard and said.

The other three Elders also nodded.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't be polite!"

Chu Zhan stepped forward, first bowed to the Beast God, glanced at them, and then held one of the Origins in his hands.

Anyway, you couldn't tell anything from the outside, so it was better to just pick one at random!

Chu Shan and Chu Liuying also each chose one after saluting the Beast God.

Although they were both under 20 years old, Chu Shan looked more composed.

Chu Liuying was the only girl among them, around the same age as Chu Zhan and the others. She wore a light yellow dress, and while her figure was slim and her appearance average, her eyes were bright and spirited!

Following them were the four Elders: Grand Elder Chu Hongtu, Second Elder Chu Hongxiao, Seventh Elder Chu Jianchen, and Eighth Elder Chu Yunfei!

The four of them also each chose one.

"Begin the refining and Fusion! I will assist from the side!"

Long Yuan said, looking at everyone.

Then, rays of light began to merge into their bodies.

Chu Jingyue, standing to the side, watched with excitement; in this way, their Chu Family would soon give birth to seven more experts!

Long Yuan also began to help them refine the Origins.

During this time, some Martial Artists who came to the Nine Heavens Mountain Range for training also discovered the changes in Qingyang Town, because that Fifth-Order Heaven and Earth Essence Vein had caused the Essence of Heaven and Earth in Qingyang Town to become much denser, making it very suitable for Cultivation.

Many people asked what had happened, but they could not find out!

Long Yuan's act of seizing the Heaven and Earth Essence Vein had been sealed off by Chu Tianyang; people only knew that this matter was related to the Beast God, but they had no idea what the exact relationship was!

There were more Martial Artists, but no one dared to be presumptuous toward the Chu Family, because there was already a Fourth-Order Martial Grandmaster expert stationed here.

However, some Disciples from other forces reported the changes that had occurred here to their Sects, and Qingyang Town was destined to become a center of the storm in the coming period.

But no matter how turbulent things were outside, the Chu Family continued to develop steadily.

Those who should get married got married, those who should have children had children, and the Family members were steadily increasing.

It took a full month, but Long Yuan finally helped Chu Hongtu and the others refine the Origins.

"What is this..."

Chu Zhan's expression was excited. With a thought, the skin on his body instantly turned bronze-colored.

"Vajra Body?"
