11: If you are determined, you can change the mountains, and there is no need to worry about not having your achievements recorded in history.

"I, Xu Ming, swear on the Martial Dao that if I leak the Family's Cultivation Technique, my Martial Dao will be severed in this life. Heaven bears witness to this oath, and the sun and moon are my proof!"

"..."

As Xu Ming spoke, the rest of the people also made their Martial Dao oaths!

A Martial Dao oath is a type of oath contract in the Martial Dao world, bound by the Heavenly Dao. If a Martial Artist makes a Martial Dao oath and then violates it, he will be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and his Martial Dao will be completely severed for this life!

"My apologies, everyone! This matter is too important; I have no other choice!" Xu Qing's expression softened.

"Young Lord, there's no need. We understand the gravity of the situation!"

"That's right!"

After all, this is a Spirit-grade Cultivation Technique. Who wouldn't want to become stronger? Having a powerful Cultivation Technique means they can go further on their Martial Dao path!

And their presence here proved their loyalty to the Family, so they naturally wouldn't leak the Cultivation Technique. Therefore, making a Martial Dao oath was nothing!

Seeing this, Xu Qing smiled, then handed the Cultivation Technique to Xu Ming.

"This Cultivation Jade Slip will be kept by Third Grandpa. Everyone can go to Third Grandpa to receive it."

The process of imparting the Cultivation Technique depends on one's personal Comprehension Ability. Some people can imprint it in an instant, while others need some time to imprint it completely in their minds!

"Ding! Detected that the Host distributed Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills to Family members, triggering a hundredfold return. All distributed Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are returned a hundredfold, and the Host is rewarded with the top-tier Marquis-grade Cultivation Technique, Mystic Embryo Primordial Skill, and the top-tier Marquis-grade Martial Skill, Minor Formless Finger!"

"Mystic Embryo Primordial Skill: An advanced Cultivation Technique from the Grand Bright Primordial Skill. When Cultivated to Major Achievement, the Physical Body can Cultivate into an Innate Mystic Embryo, with a certain chance of Awakening an Innate Spirit Body!"

"Minor Formless Finger: Difficult to Cultivate; only those with great perseverance can Cultivate it. When Cultivated to Major Achievement, a single finger can shatter a hundred-zhang mountain peak!"

It seems the Martial Dao oath just now was a bit redundant; now something even more powerful has appeared!

However, since it's an advanced Cultivation Technique of the Grand Bright Primordial Skill, Cultivating the Grand Bright Primordial Skill first is fine. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains!

Moreover, for Spirit-grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, he could use the Wang Family's compensation to cover his lies, but for these two top-tier Marquis-grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, he had no way to find an excuse!

After all, the highest Cultivation Technique of the Wang Family currently was only Intermediate Marquis-grade!

"Now, as Young Lord, I will announce a few matters!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became solemn!

"From today onwards, the Xu Family will establish an Elder Council, a Merit Hall, an Ancestral Hall, a Scripture Hall, a Treasure Hall, an Internal Affairs Hall, and an Outer Affairs Hall!"

"The Elder Council will be composed of Elders within the Family, independent of the six halls, and responsible for handling various Family affairs. Those selected for the Elder Council must be individuals who have rendered great service to the Family; I have already explained the Merit Hall previously, so I will not elaborate further."

"The Family not only needs rewards but also decisive means to maintain order. The Ancestral Hall came into being for this purpose. Presided over by the Ancestral Elder, it is responsible for managing discipline, resolving Family disputes, and possesses enforcement power, dealing with Family members who make mistakes according to Family law."

"Everyone knows about the Scripture Hall and the Treasure Hall, so no further explanation is needed. The Internal Affairs Hall is responsible for training Family Disciples, distributing monthly stipends, managing offerings and Guest Elders, and other internal Family affairs; the Outer Affairs Hall is responsible for managing the Family's external affairs, such as managing Family industries and liaising with external sects and clans."

"Considering Third Elder's dedicated service and great contributions to the Xu Family, he is hereby promoted to Grand Elder, responsible for presiding over Elder Council meetings. As the Elder Council currently has vacant positions, it will be temporarily put on hold."

"All fourth-generation Family members of the main branch are promoted to Family Elders. Uncle Xu Jie will serve as Merit Elder, presiding over the Merit Hall; Second Uncle Xu Liang will serve as Ancestral Elder, presiding over the Ancestral Hall; Uncle Xu Song will serve as Outer Affairs Elder, responsible for the Outer Affairs Hall."

"Uncle Xu Lin of Scripture Depository Hall will serve as Scripture Elder, responsible for the Scripture Hall; Uncle Xu Bai of Treasure Depository Hall will serve as Treasure Hall Elder, responsible for the Treasure Hall. The Internal Affairs Hall is temporarily vacant and will be temporarily overseen by Third Grandpa."

As Xu Qing's reform and promotion decrees were issued, everyone's expressions became solemn.

"We respectfully obey the Young Lord's command!"

Xu Ming was the first to speak.

"We respectfully obey the Young Lord's command!"

The other Family members also responded in unison.

From this moment on, the fourth generation began to take over the important affairs of the Xu Family, formally holding decision-making power!

"Everyone!"

Xu Qing's voice rose again, and all the Xu Family members present listened attentively!

"Aspirations should be set high! Although our Xu Family is currently small in number, as long as we harbor great ambitions, given time, our Xu Family will surely surpass its former glory!"

"I firmly believe that if one's will is unwavering, mountains can be moved; why worry that history won't record our achievements! Today, we will forge a powerful Xu Family, and all of you will also be recorded in the Family's historical annals, leaving a legacy for eternity!"

All the Xu Family members' eyes lit up, their blood boiling!

"What a 'aspirations should be set high'!"

"What a 'if one's will is unwavering, mountains can be moved; why worry that history won't record our achievements'!"

"With the Young Lord here, our Xu Clan will surely prosper!"

"For the Xu Family, we will not hesitate even to die!"

No one could resist the temptation of having their name recorded in the Family genealogy, not even Xu Ming; the older he got, the more he cared!

Seeing the Family members' surging emotions and high spirits, Xu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

Afterward, Xu Qing sent the other fifth-generation Family members to Cultivate, leaving the high-ranking members for discussion!

"Third Grandpa, all uncles! The Family is currently in ruins awaiting reconstruction and needs more fresh blood. Therefore, I have decided to recall the Xu Clan members from various towns! If there are individuals among these Family members with outstanding ability and outstanding Aptitude, they will receive strong support from the Family!" Xu Qing said.

"Young Lord, most of these Family members in various towns are now scattered. It might be difficult to find them! And they are all sinners, this..." Xu Ming said with a frown!

The Xu City territory had four towns, and originally, all four towns had Xu Family members residing in them!

However, as far as the main branch was concerned, these Family members were descendants of sinners!

One hundred and sixty years ago, the Xu Family's strength was extremely powerful, with seven Yuanhai Realm experts in the Family and over five hundred Family members, all thanks to that Old Ancestor!

However, his past was only known to successive Family Heads and Elders; Xu Qing, as Young Lord, only knew that the Old Ancestor was not from Fengyan County!

He didn't know anything more!

He only knew that the history of this branch of Xu City began with that Old Ancestor, and the Old Ancestor's parents, for some unknown reason, were not written into the Family genealogy!

And when Xu Qing's great-grandfather assumed the position of Family Head, a rebellion occurred within the Family. Although it was later suppressed, the Xu Family also suffered considerable losses!

They lost three Yuanhai Realm experts, and three other Yuanhai Realm Old Ancestors, unwilling to participate in internal strife, left Xu City with their people and have had no contact since!

This also led to the Xu Family having only one Yuanhai Realm expert guarding them during the great-grandfather's generation. Fortunately, with the Old Ancestor's protection, they obtained the position of Xu City Lord, which allowed them to establish themselves in Xu City!

Originally, these rebellious Family members were all to be executed, but the great-grandfather, out of old ties, demoted their descendants to branch families and sent them to the four towns and other cities to develop!

Now, wanting to recall these Family members, Xu Ming and others naturally felt some resistance!

If it weren't for a great-uncle of the main branch who perished with two great-uncles from the rebellious side, their branch might have already disappeared!

"Times are different now. If the Xu Family wants to grow stronger, these Family members must be recalled. For over a hundred years, the main branch has only had over a hundred people, but families like Chen and Su, which one doesn't have several hundred?"

"If the Xu Family wants to develop, it needs fresh blood. Otherwise, how can we, with just a dozen people, restore our former glory? Third Grandpa, it's been one hundred and sixty years; let some things go!"

If it weren't for this group of Family members, when would the System's mission ever be completed? Therefore, to complete the mission and for the Family's grand plan, Xu Qing could only work on convincing a few people!

"Since the Young Lord says so, then let's recall them to the Family!" Xu Ming pondered for a long time and finally nodded in agreement!

"However, Young Lord, if they act rebelliously again, we must not tolerate it!"

Xu Ming added another sentence!

"That's natural! This is also one of the reasons I want Third Grandpa and Second Uncle to Breakthrough! Whether internally or externally, only when we are strong can we deter all villains!" Xu Qing said with a serious expression!

Hearing this, Xu Ming and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Xu Qing would be like the second-generation Family Head!

"Since everyone has no objections, this matter is settled! The news can be spread in these two days. When Third Grandpa and Second Uncle Breakthrough to the Yuanhai Realm, I will hold another banquet!"

"Firstly, to deter villains; secondly, to use this joyous occasion to spread the news that we want to recall Family members to the surrounding cities!" Xu Qing said with a smile!

"I agree. The Family now needs a joyous occasion to boost the morale of the Family members!" Xu Song said with a smile!

The other uncles also echoed their agreement!
