164: The demon tribe joins Lingcang Mansion, and Wang Chenkun prepares to become an immortal

The various Elders of the Fox Race were all extremely hospitable.

They enthusiastically entertained Wang Chenkun.

The sweet and sour fruit wine brewed by the Fox Race was also quite good, and potent.

Seeing everyone's hospitality, after the banquet, Wang Chenkun presented each Fox Race Elder with five thousand Heavenly Immortal Realm Yao Beast meat and one hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stones as gifts.

The Fox Race naturally also ate meat.

Although the lower-ranked members of their Fox Race could not directly digest Heavenly Immortal Realm Yao Beast meat, they could boil it into soup, which was a great way to nourish themselves.

The effect was even better than Cultivating with Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

Of course, Wang Chenkun couldn't give them the bodies of Yao Foxes from the AFK world, as they were their own kind…

Furthermore, for every junior from the Fox Race who came to the banquet.

Wang Chenkun had Bai Yunu give each of them one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones as a red packet.

Wang Chenkun directly gave Bai Yunu ten billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, which was roughly enough for the red packets.

After all, those who were not Fox Race elites generally did not qualify to reside in this Fox Valley.

One hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to one hundred billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, was not a small sum for many of the Yao Race!

Many Fox Race juniors stepped forward to receive their red packets, thanking their Clan Sister (Aunt) Bai Yunu and their Brother-in-law (Uncle) Emperor Chenkun.

Even Bai Yinger, upon receiving this red packet, squinted her eyes into crescent moons, extremely delighted.

At the same time, although her father, Bai Mang, was currently imprisoned by Bai Luo, he was still considered the Grand Elder of the Fox Race.

He also received an Elder-level gift from Wang Chenkun and his wife—five thousand Heavenly Immortal Realm Yao Beast meat and one hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Bai Luo personally delivered it.

The entire Fox Race, from top to bottom, was filled with joyous celebration, a hundred times happier than during New Year festivals!

That night, Wang Chenkun and his wife, Bai Yunu, naturally stayed in Bai Yunu's former boudoir.

The next day.

Upon hearing that Emperor Chenkun had brought his wife, Bai Yunu, back to her maiden home, the high-ranking officials of the various Yao Races in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range also came to Fox Valley to pay their respects to the Emperor.

In fact, ever since Bai Luo regained control of the Fox Race, they had already received news that the Saintess of the Fox Race was one of Emperor Chenkun's wives.

The Ten Great Yao Races did not send too many high-ranking Yao Race officials to Cangxuan Imperial City to observe the political discussions of Empress Ling Wan and others.

Firstly, the various Sects and Cultivation Families of the Human Race in Cangxuan World, even with the Empire's downfall, were still very powerful.

Even if many of their Yao Race high-ranking officials participated in the formation of Ling Cang Prefecture, they probably still wouldn't receive much attention.

Secondly, they knew that the Fox Race Saintess's husband was actually Emperor Chenkun, which made things much easier.

Fox Race Grand Hall.

Bai Luo took out the Enlightenment Tea leaves given by his son-in-law and brewed tea to entertain the various Yao Race bigwigs.

Wang Chenkun and Bai Yunu sat in the seats of honor.

Now, the high-ranking officials of all Ten Great Yao Races in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range were present.

The Ten Great Yao Races of Cangxuan World, besides the Fox Race, also included the Black Tiger, Golden Lion, Silver Moon Sky Wolf, Wind Leopard, Red Gold Bear, White Snake Yao, Spider Demon, Pangolin, and Spirit Butterfly Yao Races.

Among these Yao Races, most were carnivorous Yao Races.

However, in the Cultivation World, influenced by Human Race civilization, Yao Races capable of transforming into human form generally had high intelligence and would not eat their own kind.

These high-ranking Yao Race officials had mostly transformed into human form, with only a few parts retaining the characteristics of their original race.

“This tea is actually filled with Dao aura! After only two or three sips, I feel that my previous hidden injuries have all healed!”

“Wow, Clan Chief Bai Luo, this is Enlightenment Tea! You actually used Enlightenment Tea to entertain us!”

“It seems Clan Chief Bai Luo is truly a Yao capable of great things! The previous Bai Mang was a bit too stingy!”

A group of deep mountain Yao Beasts, after drinking several large bowls of Enlightenment Tea, exclaimed repeatedly.

Yet, their hands kept pouring themselves more tea.

“This Enlightenment Tea was given to my race by my good son-in-law! You are here to see Emperor Chenkun, wanting to join Ling Cang Prefecture, aren't you?”

Bai Luo, beaming with pride, took the initiative to ask.

After all, his Fox Race was also a member of the Yao Race, and naturally, he would consider the Yao Race's interests.

The Great Ling Empire's establishment of Ling Cang Prefecture was something the Fox Race, as one of the Ten Great Yao Races of Cangxuan World, had known about for a long time.

And the high-ranking officials of other Yao Races had also sent him messages about it.

“Yes. We have come to visit the Emperor today precisely for this matter.”

Among the Yao Beasts, the Black Tiger Clan Chief, Hu Xiaotian, had the highest Cultivation. He was a burly man at the Heavenly Immortal Great Perfection Realm, with a 'King' character tiger pattern on his forehead. As the leader of this group of Yao Beasts, he respectfully said to Wang Chenkun.

“Our Ten Great Yao Races of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range naturally also wish to join Ling Cang Prefecture and help Great Ling control Cangxuan World.”

“May I ask Emperor Chenkun if he can speak for our Yao Race before Empress Ling Wan and the Lingtian Mansion Lord?”

“Haha… Don't worry, since the Yao Race is willing to serve my Great Ling, I will speak for you!”

Wang Chenkun heard this, considered it for a moment, and then readily agreed.

“In that case, our Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range thanks the Emperor.” The great Yao Beasts all breathed a sigh of relief.

They heard that the Emperor and the Empress had an excellent relationship, so as long as the Emperor was willing to step forward, this matter should be settled.

Wang Chenkun pondered for a while, then said:

“I plan to let my father-in-law, Bai Luo, serve as a Deputy Mansion Lord in Ling Cang Prefecture, and this Black Tiger Clan Chief can serve as an Elder. For the others, it will depend on the Empress and the Lingtian Mansion Lord's intentions!”

Bai Luo trembled all over, his face showing joy: “Thank you, my son-in-law Chenkun!”

Deputy Mansion Lord, second only to the Lingtian Mansion Lord!

This was a highly influential position in the entire Cangxuan World!

Hu Xiaotian also expressed his gratitude.

All the great Yao Beasts were overjoyed. Deputy Mansion Lord? Elder?

Didn't that mean they also had bigwigs in Ling Cang Prefecture who held power?

All of this was thanks to Bai Luo's son-in-law, Emperor Chenkun!

Afterward, everyone chatted for a long time.

Then, the Fox Race invited the many Yao Race bigwigs to a feast, eating meat and drinking wine.

The meat was all Heavenly Immortal Realm Yao Beast meat that did not include their Ten Great Yao Races.

The Yao Beasts ate and drank their fill, preparing to leave. Wang Chenkun told them to come back tomorrow to go to Ling Cang Prefecture together.

Wang Chenkun also presented each Yao Race bigwig with two hundred catties of Enlightenment Tea leaves, which delighted them greatly. They thanked him and departed.

“This Emperor is truly wealthy and generous, casually giving gifts that are Enlightenment Tea! If only my daughter, Huniu'er, could marry him… Hehehe!”

The various high-ranking Yao Race officials rode the Yao wind away. On the way, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but say.

“Forget it! Your Huniu'er is dark and rustic, and also a brute… Emperor Chenkun wouldn't fancy her. Not as good as my Family's Baisu Yao…” The female Clan Chief of the White Snake Yao Race teased.

“Baisu Yao is still a snake Yao that hasn't fully transformed yet, not as good as the Saintess of my Spider Demon Race, Zhu Qiansi…”

The female Clan Chief of the Spider Demon also laughed.

“I don't think any of them are good. Your Family's Yao maidens are far inferior to Bai Luo's daughter, Bai Yunu…”

These Yao Race bigwigs chatted amongst themselves.

They all wanted to get close to Emperor Chenkun.

Unfortunately, their daughters were far inferior to Bai Yunu.

This made them secretly regretful.

The next day.

Bai Luo set up a True Immortal Rank protective formation in Fox Valley.

The Fox Race no longer had any worries.

The various Yao Race bigwigs arrived again.

Wang Chenkun and Bai Yunu, along with Bai Luo and the other Yao Race bigwigs, headed to Ling Cang Prefecture in the former Cangxuan Imperial City.

Upon returning to Ling Cang Prefecture, Empress Ling Wan and Ling Tian had already discussed and basically established the forces with the various Human Race bigwigs of Cangxuan World.

Empress Ling Wan also hosted a banquet for the various high-ranking officials of Cangxuan World, with food and tea, using Heavenly Immortal Realm Yao Beast meat ingredients and Enlightenment Tea.

They were waiting for Wang Chenkun to return.

“Empress Wife, let the Ten Great Yao Races of Cangxuan World also participate in the formation of Ling Cang Prefecture.”

Wang Chenkun brought the Yao Beasts to the political hall and said with a smile to Empress Ling Wan.

Then he proposed that Bai Luo serve as a Deputy Mansion Lord and Hu Xiaotian as an Elder.

Empress Ling Wan smiled: “We were waiting for you all to return here. Uncle Bai Luo is Sister Yunu's father, so this matter is naturally easy to discuss.”

She knew that Wang Chenkun had gone to Bai Yunu's Fox Race maiden home, and would definitely bring the Yao Race over.

Naturally, she wouldn't refuse.

Although Bai Yunu's father, Bai Luo, was only at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage, Cangxuan World didn't need war now, so that was certainly enough.

Hu Xiaotian's Cultivation was even higher.

The Clan Chiefs of the other Yao Races were all above the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The joining of this group of Yao Race bigwigs to Ling Cang Prefecture would naturally play a huge role in suppressing the entire Cangxuan World, assisting in governance, and balancing against those Sects and Cultivation Families!

Also, Empress Ling Wan greatly respected Bai Luo, the father of her own sister.

Ling Wan and Ling Tian arranged everything properly for these Yao Race bigwigs.

In short, the Ten Great Yao Races of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range officially joined the Ling Cang Prefecture forces, becoming an important power within Ling Cang Prefecture.

Empress Ling Wan publicly announced the establishment of Ling Cang Prefecture, and Prince Ling Tian gave a speech.

Regardless of whether they were Yao Race bigwigs or Human Race bigwigs, all those who joined Ling Cang Prefecture would receive a batch of Dao Tea leaves, Enlightenment Tea leaves, low-grade immortal stones, Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Divine Artifacts, and other resources as annual remuneration.

Thus, the large number of powerful individuals who joined Ling Cang Prefecture were all overjoyed.

Joining Ling Cang Prefecture not only benefited these powerful individuals but also their families and Sects behind them!

After all, the effects of Dao Tea and Enlightenment Tea on every Cultivator were self-evident.

Their affiliated forces, and their Disciples or clansmen, would also quickly ascend if they received these Cultivation resources!

Many powerful individuals of Cangxuan World continuously thanked Emperor Chenkun, Empress Ling Wan, and Prince Ling Tian.

They were grateful for their benevolent and generous policies.

The enthusiastic cheers of the many powerful individuals of Cangxuan World echoed throughout the entire Cangxuan Imperial City!

Originally, with the Kunling World army stationed to govern the entire Cangxuan World.

The powerful individuals of Cangxuan World had a lot of internal resistance, but now there was no resistance at all.

Wang Chenkun looked at this scene, his face full of smiles.

He also gave Prince Ling Tian a huge batch of resources, including one hundred thousand catties of Enlightenment Tea leaves, ten million catties of Dao Tea leaves, hundreds of millions of low-grade immortal stones, tens of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and a large number of Divine Artifacts, spirit talismans, Formation Plates, and other items.

He instructed him to use them as resources for Ling Cang Prefecture.

After Bai Luo took up the position of Deputy Mansion Lord in Ling Cang Prefecture, Prince Ling Tian could also look after the Fox Race, making them even more secure.

After all, Prince Ling Tian was a True Immortal bigwig, and behind him represented the Great Ling Empire. Who would dare to touch their Fox Race?!

Several days passed.

During this time, Wang Chenkun, Empress Ling Wan, Bai Yunu, Ling Tian, Cangyun, Bai Luo, Hu Xiaotian, and others visited and observed various Immortal Cities.

They found that these Immortal Cities, under the control of the many powerful individuals of Ling Cang Prefecture, had long since restored order and stabilized the people's hearts.

After resolving all matters in Cangxuan World.

Wang Chenkun, Empress Ling Wan, and Bai Yunu were going to return to Kunling World.

Their Great Ling Empire was not a warmongering force, and naturally would not continue to wage war against other Mortal Realms in the Xuanhuang Universe.

…

Within the Wang Family territory.

Wang Chenkun immediately went into seclusion to Cultivate upon his return, preparing to Break through his true Cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Immortal Ascension and becoming an Old Ancestor.

This was the ultimate goal of every Cultivator.

Every Cultivator, regardless of their Aptitude, hoped to be able to achieve Immortal Ascension and become an Old Ancestor.

But how could Immortal Ascension be so easy?

An ordinary person wanting to Break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, besides a large amount of Cultivation resources, also needed to undergo thousands of years of arduous Cultivation.

Only then would there be a slim chance of successfully stepping into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Wang Chenkun was now a Prodigy among Prodigies, and with a Heaven-Defying cheat like the Strongest Ancestor System, he naturally did not need such hardship.
