438: Chapter 438 Surprise

Years later, the seven children who remained in the Red Pine Sect became the heads of the Sect's seven largest families.

As the families grew increasingly large, conflicts of interest inevitably arose, leading to friction and struggles.

However, as branches of the Liu Clan, their struggles were not particularly intense due to the restrictions of Family rules; those who fought to the death were always those not surnamed Liu.

These were matters for the future; for now, although Dao Hong and the others held high status, their cultivation was very low, and the second-generation descendants had only just begun to Cultivate, still far from being great families... After the Family meeting in the West Courtyard, Liu Xuan immediately convened a Sect Assembly in the name of True Person Xiao.

Without wasting words, Xiao Changfeng appeared in person and appointed Liu Xuan's seven children as the seven Core Disciples of the Sect, acting on behalf of the Immortal Master.

Nominally, they were all Disciples of True Person Xiao, but in reality, the Sect Disciples were well aware that True Person Xiao was working for the Liu Family, and the one truly in charge was the Liu Family.

Liu Xuan was quite extraordinary now!

A third-rank Alchemy Great Master, a Disciple and son-in-law of True Lord Haoran of the Southern Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect, and it was said he even had connections with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord of the Peach Blossom Sect, who possessed Peak Nascent Soul cultivation.

Rumor had it that even the higher-ups of the Heavenly Sword Sect had to give Face to the Liu Family, so no one dared to object to this appointment.

Clever people had already seen the Liu Family's future arrangements for the Red Pine Sect from the various plans made at the assembly and began to plan how to establish connections with these seven Liu family members in a few days.

Besides Liu Xuan's seven children, there were many personnel appointments in the inner court. These positions were originally held by Liu Xuan's Concubines, but now they were all replaced by Cultivators close to the Liu Family lineage, including many from the families of Liu Xuan's fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law.

After the assembly ended, Yue Li and Lin Xue'er began to arrange the relocation matters. All kinds of important resources needed to be moved, leaving only immovable assets like spiritual lands and Cultivation Chambers.

Three days later.

A fleet composed of over a dozen great sun flying boats departed from the Peak of the Red Pine Sect, slowly flying southward amidst the laughter of children.

The Flying Boats did not fly toward the mountain gate of the Peach Blossom Sect but stopped once they reached Great Sun City.

Although Liu Xuan did not know that Demon Saint Xuanyu was about to lead the Yao Race army to attack the Peach Blossom Sect, he knew that the real war was far from over, and it was not yet time for the whole Family to move to the Peach Blossom Sect.

Before the arrival of the main army from the Beast Taming Sect's headquarters and before the phased advancement of the Endless Great Mountain Demon Court's front line, Great Sun City would remain the core of the Liu Family, while the Peach Blossom Sect residence was only being built in stages.

"Wow!!"

"The sun here is so big!"

"Not only is it big, but it's also bright. I've never seen such a big and bright sun."

...With so many children, there was constant chattering, which was both a bit noisy and full of joy.

The Liu residence in Great Sun City had long received Liu Xuan's instructions. Zi Lan led many Concubines and servants to welcome them and immediately set about arranging the settlement of the many children.

Great Sun City was becoming increasingly prosperous, and the Liu residence was constantly being expanded, already larger than the City Lord's Manor. Settling over a hundred children was not a problem.

Most of the children's mothers worked in Great Sun City. The reunions between mothers and sons, and mothers and daughters, were naturally very lively.

"Mother!"

"Waaaah~"

"Aunt Miao! I want Aunt Miao! Waaaah!!"

Some children shed tears of joy upon seeing their mothers, while others had long forgotten what their mothers looked like and cried out for Aunt Miao.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, is she really my mother? She's not lying to me, is she?"

A three-year-old boy secretly ran out from the arms of his teary-eyed mother and then ran to Lingxiu and Ling Yun, who usually took care of him, asking in a low voice.

"Why do you ask that?" Lingxiu picked up her younger brother and asked with a smile.

"No reason, just confirming!"

The little fellow spread his hands, his tone suggesting the question was redundant.

"You little clever ghost!" Lingxiu reached out and scraped his nose. "Of course she is your mother. Why would anyone lie to you about that?"

"Oh~"

The little fellow looked at his mother walking over, his small Face squeezing out a sliver of a smile... In the middle of the night.

Liu Xuan got up and dressed, pacing to the outdoor balcony. A pink petal appeared in his hand, and with a flash of light, he disappeared along with the glow.

Now that the war at the Peach Blossom Sect had ended, the Earth Vein Army Formation no longer suppressed the Peach Blossom Demon Lord's Divine Ability, making it easier for Liu Xuan to use the teleportation.

According to Peach Blossom's description, once the new Earth Vein Army Formation was perfected in a while, she could personally come to Great Sun City to use the Formation for positioning. In the future, traveling between the two places would be almost instantaneous with very little consumption.

Teleportation Formations were notoriously high-level, high-consumption, and expensive to maintain.

To set up a Teleportation Formation, the minimum requirement was a third-rank Formation Master, and it had to be a Formation Master who had comprehended spatial Divine Ability.

Furthermore, setting up a grand Teleportation Formation required space-attribute Materials, which were extremely expensive.

Moreover, every time a grand Teleportation Formation was activated, it consumed a large amount of pure Spiritual Qi, usually requiring the direct consumption of spiritual jade to start.

For these reasons, even though Teleportation Formations had a thousand benefits, they were not common in the Cultivation World.

What the Peach Blossom Demon Lord set up wasn't a real Teleportation Formation either, but rather used her own Divine Ability for positioning, reducing the difficulty and consumption of using the Divine Ability.

This kind of teleportation could only be used by her and Liu Xuan, and every time Liu Xuan used it, he had to consume a pink petal she had painstakingly refined.

"Buzz~"

Liu Xuan appeared in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm garden, and the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, who was tending to the flower beds, flew over happily.

"Husband! Where is the surprise you promised me? Quickly take it out and let me see."

Liu Xuan snapped his fingers, and a jade-colored circular plate appeared before Peach Blossom.

"This is... a Formation Plate?"

"Exactly!" Liu Xuan explained with a smile, "A top-tier fourth-rank Formation Plate. It can be used to set up a top-tier fourth-rank grand array, the Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array."

"A top-tier fourth-rank Formation Plate!!!"

Peach Blossom's voice even changed pitch slightly; she was truly shocked.

Once something like a Formation Plate reached the fourth-rank level, it became extremely rare, the kind of thing one couldn't buy even if they had the means.

A top-tier fourth-rank Formation Plate, if it truly completed a top-tier fourth-rank grand array, would be comparable to the strength of a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord.

The Myriad Spirits Grand Array she had previously set up also used a Formation Plate. Despite its terrifying effect, its core was actually only a Medium Grade fourth-rank Formation Plate. It reached the fourth-rank Peak level only after devouring the blood, Qi, and souls of billions of living beings, and finally, she refined it into a pseudo-fifth-rank blood fiend tree heart.

A Formation Plate was just the foundation; after being set up into a grand array, there were also reinforcements from Spiritual Veins, external objects, and so on.

A top-tier fourth-rank Formation Plate was enough for a newly ascended Spirit Transformation Dao Lord to set up a Dao field. To think Liu Xuan could actually produce a treasure of this level!

"What a pity!" After her surprise, Peach Blossom sighed. "A Formation Plate of this level is beyond my ability to set up."

Peach Blossom had some attainment in Formations, but she was by no means an expert. Back then, when she set up the Myriad Spirits Grand Array, she had to invite a fourth-rank Formation Demon Lord from the Demon Court to assist her.

Now that she had joined the Beast Taming Sect and betrayed the Demon Court, it would be difficult to ask for that person's help again.

It was also inconvenient to ask a Formation Master from the Beast Taming Sect. Once such a thing was handed over to the Beast Taming Sect, the true core control would no longer be hers.

"No matter!"

"If you can't set it up, I can teach you!"

Liu Xuan said with a smile.
