42: Entering Yunwu Mountain

"This is..."

"A celestial realm! This is practically an Immortal Cave!"

"Such abundant Origin Qi! I feel that if I Cultivate here, I can quickly Breakthrough to the Yuanhai Realm!"

After entering Cloud Mist Mountain, the mist had disappeared, revealing an Immortal Cave that looked like a celestial realm!

The members of the Xu Clan all showed shock, but their knowledge was shallow; they only knew this was a place like a celestial realm!

However, Profound Darkness Two Elders had been to Mystic King-level powers, but the Cultivation environments of those powers couldn't compare to this place; the difference between the two was like a chasm!

Cultivating in such a place, let alone Martial Artists below the King Realm, even those in the Fengwang Realm and Mystic King Realm could quickly improve their Cultivation!

A top-tier King-grade Origin Vein!

The two looked at each other, and a guess simultaneously arose in their hearts!

Moreover, as far as their eyes could see, they found that none of the buildings here were ordinary. How could such an Immortal Cave appear in the Xu Family?

Connecting this to the Mystic Dark Grand Art they Cultivated, although there was only one volume, this single volume was enough for them to Cultivate to the Heavenly King Realm. Above that, there was a second volume, and even a third volume... The Xu Family had a great secret! No! It should be said that this mysterious Young Lord had a great secret!

They suddenly thought that powerful beings could undergo Reincarnation; could it be that their Young Lord was such a person?

The reason he had not shown his true abilities before was merely to hide his strength. Now that his power had somewhat recovered, he no longer hid it!

The two suddenly saw the light, looked at each other, and their eyes burned with fervor; they knew they had latched onto a powerful backer!

Xu Qing hadn't expected that Profound Darkness Two Elders would associate him with those legendary powerful beings!

"From today onwards, this will be the dwelling place of my Xu Clan. The locations of each residence and the stations of each hall have already been published in the profound yellow token!"

"Elders of each branch, please settle the clan members as soon as possible. Grand Elder, Branch Leaders of each branch, Elders of each hall, and the two Reverends, follow me to the Clan Chief's main hall for a discussion!"

Xu Qing's voice reached the ears of the Xu Clan members!

These people quickly took out their profound yellow tokens to check them. In just a few days, they had already become familiar with the profound yellow tokens!

When they saw their residences, they were all excited!

At this moment, Xu Qing and the others had already arrived at the foot of the main peak. A white jade staircase led directly up the mountain. Upon reaching the peak, they saw the Heavenly Pool, which was the source of the spiritual lake at the foot of the mountain. Beside the Heavenly Pool stood a magnificent grand hall!

Profound Darkness Two Elders' eyes were filled with shock. As King Realm cultivators, their senses were the most acute, and they felt a threat from this grand hall. This was actually a King Weapon, and at least a Mystic King Weapon!

Entering the grand hall, Xu Qing sat on the golden Dragon throne at the very top!

"I have called you all here to announce a few matters!"

"Firstly, from today onwards, the position of Hall Elder will be abolished. All halls will be upgraded to 'Palaces,' with one Palace Master, two Vice Palace Masters, and nine Palace Elders."

"From today onwards, the positions of Palace Master and Branch Leader will be higher than Core Elder, and they may participate in Elder Council meetings. The position of Vice Palace Master will be equivalent to Core Elder, and they may participate in Elder Council affairs!"

"The position of Ordinary Elder will be abolished. Only Palace Elders and Branch Elders will be set up, and their positions will be equivalent. The original seven Hall Elders will be promoted to the position of Palace Master and participate in Elder Council meetings!"

"The younger generation of Disciples will still be divided into six levels: Ordinary, Elite, Core, True Disciple, Sequence, and Young Lord. The Young Lord's position is equivalent to the Palace Master level, Sequence is equivalent to the Core Elder level, True Disciple is equivalent to the Palace Elder level, and Core Disciple is equivalent to a Steward!"

"However, except for the Young Lord, Disciples of other levels are only equivalent in position but cannot participate in clan decisions, and must still observe Junior etiquette when meeting Elders!"

Xu Qing methodically stated the appointments in his mind!

This time, he abolished the Ordinary Elder and Hall Elder positions to prevent superfluous phenomena in the clan. The original lower status of Branch Leader compared to Hall Master was also to suppress the branch families!

But now that the three branches had been integrated, it was no longer necessary. After all, Branch Leaders should participate in Elder Council meetings and major clan affairs!

From then on, the clan would have nine levels, from lowest to highest: Ordinary Clan Member, Manager, Steward/Core Disciple, Palace Elder/Branch Elder/True Disciple, Vice Palace Master/Core Elder/Sequence, Branch Leader/Palace Master/Young Lord, Grand Elder, Clan Elder, Clan Chief!

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Everyone hurriedly responded!

Among them, Xu Song and the others, as well as the three Branch Leaders, were undoubtedly the happiest!

"In the future, the appointment of Palace Masters will be decided by the Clan Chief. The selection of Vice Palace Masters will be discussed and decided by the Elder Council. As for the selection of Palace Elders and Stewards, they can be recruited by the respective Palaces themselves!"

"I have only one requirement: quality over quantity! I do not need incompetent people to sit in that position! If anyone is a mere figurehead, you Palace Masters will bear the primary responsibility!"

Xu Qing's gaze sternly swept over several uncles!

"Young Lord, rest assured, we will be fair and just, and strictly select!"

Xu Song and the others said seriously!

"Besides the seven halls, I intend to establish the Hall of Offerings and the Spirit Beast Hall! The Palace Master of the Hall of Offerings will be Duan Xuan, with Duan Ming and Deng Changyun as Vice Palace Masters! The Spirit Beast Hall will have Dark Moon as its Palace Master!"

"Thank you, Young Lord!"

Profound Darkness Two Elders were overjoyed to hear this, not expecting Xu Qing to trust them so much!

After all, this person was a strong individual suspected of being a Reincarnation of a powerful being. To gain the favor of such a strong individual, their future achievements would certainly not be low!

Xu Qing waved his hand and smiled, "I trust you two!"

"Young Lord, who is this Palace Master Dark Moon?" Xu Ming asked, puzzled!

Xu Qing smiled and raised his hand. A black light appeared, and a palm-sized black cat appeared in Xu Qing's hand!

As soon as it appeared, a powerful aura emanated from it, causing everyone's expressions to change, and even Profound Darkness Two Elders felt the threat of death!

This aura came quickly and left just as quickly!

"This is Dark Moon, a Dark Moon Tiger, at Fengwang Perfection. In the future, it will be one of the clan's guardian Spirit Beasts!"

Xu Qing stroked the fur on Dark Moon's throat, and the creature narrowed its eyes in enjoyment, purring softly!

"Fengwang Perfection!!!"

This news exploded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, leaving all present utterly astonished beyond measure!

They widened their eyes, staring intently at the seemingly ordinary black cat, their hearts filled with unbelievable shock.

Who would have thought that this harmless-looking little cat was actually a being at Fengwang Perfection!

Immediately after, they realized, didn't this mean that their Xu Family possessed King Realm combat power, equivalent to the Four Great Royal Families and the Tianxuan Sect?

Originally, they had only thought that Xu Qing was the first person to reach the Fengwang Realm through some means, but they hadn't expected his means to be this cat!

At the same time, a question arose in their hearts: How did Xu Qing control this powerful Yao Beast?

But Xu Qing didn't give them time to guess!

"Grand Elder, from today onwards, a clan guard will be established under the Elder Council. I have already instructed Hai Dagui to handle this matter. At that time, Grand Elder can select candidates with Hai Dagui!"

"Additionally, a clan academy will be founded to teach the younger generation of Disciples knowledge in academics, Cultivation, and other areas. Grand Elder can select a group of instructors. Furthermore, Profound Darkness Two Elders and the Reverend Deng Changyun, who is currently outside, will also temporarily serve as teachers in the clan academy, and can impart lessons irregularly!"

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Xu Ming and Profound Darkness Two Elders agreed!

"Palace Master Xu Song, as the clan members are few now, when managing the industries, you can select some dependents willing to attach themselves to my Xu Family. If they pass the clan's assessment, they can be accepted as dependents!" Xu Qing said!

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Xu Qing continued, "Additionally, the Tiantong Branch is about to return. In these few days, I trouble you all to prepare to welcome the Tiantong Branch clan members back. This matter will be handled by Grand Elder!"

"Yes, Young Lord!"
