548: Chapter 548 Holy Son

Seven days later.

The Liu Family held a Nascent Soul Formation ceremony to celebrate their Old Ancestor, Liu Xuan, advancing to a Nascent Soul True Lord.

This ceremony could be considered very low-key, as they only invited Cultivators within their own sphere of influence and did not invite a single Nascent Soul peer.

Other Cultivators who break through to become a Nascent Soul True Lord hold such ceremonies to integrate into the upper circles as quickly as possible and make connections with Fellow Daoists.

But Liu Xuan did not need that; he held the ceremony only to strengthen the Family's cohesion and intimidate vassal families.

The entire ceremony was arranged by the women in the backyard; he would neither appear to receive guests nor preach, focusing primarily on being low-key.

The sisters An Yunxi and An Yunmiao persuaded Liu Xuan to use the Star Palace in the sky as the main venue, taking this opportunity to announce that the Southern Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect and the Liu Family were one and the same.

Star Palace.

Liu Xuan handed over part of the Star Array permissions to An Yunmiao, watching as they transformed the Star Palace into a suitable appearance.

"Yun Xi, Yun Miao, does your father know you are doing this?" Liu Xuan asked with a smile.

Star Immortal City was divided into two parts: one half was the Peach Blossom Palace of the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, and the other half was the Star Hall of the former Southern Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect.

Nominally, the master of the entire Star Academy was the Academy Head, True Lord Haoran, while the Peach Blossom Demon Lord was merely the Grand Elder.

True Lord Haoran guarded the Biyou Pool, leaving all affairs of Star Immortal City to his eldest daughter, An Yunmiao.

Although the Liu Family developed rapidly, relying on their control of the Star Array and possessing several Nascent Soul female mistresses, they had actually become the masters of Star Immortal City.

However, the Liu Family did not have enough Golden Core True Persons to control the territory of over a hundred thousand miles around the Star Academy for the time being.

In the Star Academy, the people were basically all from the Beast Taming Sect, and they only recognized True Lord Haoran as the orthodox True Lord of the Beast Taming Sect.

Now, the sisters An Yunxi and An Yunmiao had not obtained True Lord Haoran's consent, and were using this ceremony to merge the power of the Star Hall with the power of the Peach Blossom Palace represented by the Liu Family; Liu Xuan was afraid that his father-in-Law would return to fight him to the death upon finding out.

The Liu Family possessed multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators, and their overall strength was far superior to the Star Hall lineage represented by True Lord Haoran; calling it a Fusion was, in reality, a surrender, handing over the middle-level power they controlled to the Liu Family as well.

"Why, are you afraid?"

An Yunmiao sat skillfully on Liu Xuan's lap, one hand hooked around his neck, "You stinky little brother! When you were at Peak Golden Core, you could defeat a fatty at the Early Nascent Soul Stage; now that you have advanced to Nascent Soul True Lord, can you not defeat my father?"

"I can defeat him, but he is your biological father, my own father-in-Law!"

"We are beloved Family and friends! How can we just fight?"

"Tch~"

An Yunmiao shifted her body to sit more comfortably and said directly: "Just tell me, do you want it or not?"

"Want!"

"Of course I want it!"

"We are all one Family; surely his old man will understand when he finds out."

In the current Star Hall, True Lord Haoran's two daughters had followed Liu Xuan, the Fourth Elder Chen Beiming was Liu Xuan's man, and the Third Elder Jiang Nishang had deep cooperation with the Liu Family; his father-in-Law had no choice even if he disagreed.

An Yunxi watched her sister and Liu Xuan giggle from the side; ever since she found out her sister had also followed Liu Xuan, the smile on her Face had not ceased.

Whatever her sister said, she did; whatever her sister asked her to do, she did. She didn't have much of an opinion of her own, just following her sister was enough.

The next day.

The ceremony officially began, and countless Cultivators gathered in the Star Palace; although no Nascent Soul True Lords were invited, the grandeur was by no means small.

The Star Palace was a place where Nascent Soul True Lords once held meetings, and ordinary Golden Core True Persons were not qualified to enter; the venue alone made many Cultivators feel awe toward the Liu Family.

Liu Xuan would not appear at this ceremony; nominally, it was hosted by Liu Xuan's eldest son, Liu Daoyuan.

Liu Tongxiao, who possessed a Fifth-Tier Yao Race Bloodline, would also appear, and Liu Xuan's hundreds of adult offspring would also show up together to take this opportunity to build connections.

The Liu Family Old Ancestor had nearly five hundred adult offspring, most of whom could be considered Prodigies, and the top few were even Prodigy-level geniuses, appearing all at once was very shocking.

"Old Ancestor Liu's children are at most fifty years old, yet over twenty of them have already reached Foundation Establishment; this is incredible!" a Golden Core Cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect exclaimed.

"Not just incredible!" another Golden Core Cultivator nodded and added, "If the Liu Family is given a hundred years to develop, I estimate that most of these people's children will be able to successfully achieve Core Formation."

"More than that, more than that!" someone retorted: "With Old Ancestor Liu's level of support for his offspring, it won't take a hundred years; I'm afraid a batch of Core Formation True Persons will emerge in just a few decades."

"Moreover, don't forget, Old Ancestor Liu has been constantly having children; it is said that the number has already exceeded one thousand. If he keeps having them like this, how many Core Formation True Persons and Nascent Soul True Lords will the Liu Family produce in the future?"

This Golden Core True Person looked at Liu Tongxiao, who was following beside Liu Xuan's eldest son, Liu Daoyuan, and his eyes suddenly became full of awe.

"Fellow Daoist Tong Xiao even possesses a Fifth-Tier Yao Race Bloodline; he is the future Hua Shen Demon Saint, the natal spirit beast reserved by Daoist Lord Lihuo!"

The crowd in the venue looked at this slightly youthful boy, and every one of them had eyes full of awe.

Most of the Cultivators present were from the Beast Taming Sect lineage; in their hearts, no matter how the war situation changed, the entire territory of the Endless Demon Court would eventually be the dojo of Daoist Lord Lihuo.

As the future half-master of the Lihuo Lineage, Liu Tongxiao's Face was even greater than that of Old Ancestor Liu, who had just advanced to Nascent Soul True Lord.

Regardless of current strength or future potential, the Liu Family was one of the largest forces in the entire Southern Frontier battlefield.

The surrender of the Star Hall lineage did not encounter any obstacles; before, everyone did not dare to actively defect because they were worried about offending True Lord Haoran.

Now that the two sisters Yun Miao and Yun Xi had come forward, regardless of whether they had obtained True Lord Haoran's consent, they only needed an excuse, and they were more proactive than anyone else.

The Cultivators of the Star Hall and the Liu Family were rushing towards each other; some Golden Core Sects without backgrounds took the initiative to defect, and some smaller Family forces, not qualified to talk to the Liu Family's top brass, even directly placed their bets on Liu Xuan's Foundation Establishment offspring, intending to latch onto this increasingly thick thigh of the Liu Family.

During the ceremony, the title of Old Ancestor Liu, True Lord Ten Thousand Laws, was proclaimed by the high-level members of the Liu Family.

Old Ancestor Liu was proficient in Alchemy, being a Fourth-Tier Alchemy Great Master; proficient in Artifact Refining, being a Fourth-Tier Artifact Refining Master; and also proficient in Formation, Sword Dao, Spirit Beast, and spirit plant...

Judging from his various achievements, he was fully qualified to be called True Lord Ten Thousand Laws.

However, the Dao title 'Ten Thousand Laws' was not widely recognized; compared to his achievements in immortal cultivation techniques and Dao Laws, what people remembered most about Old Ancestor Liu was that he had married over a thousand female Concubines and had over a thousand children.

In public, people called him True Lord Ten Thousand Laws, but in private, people were more willing to call him True Lord Lust, True Lord Many-Children, or True Lord Joyful Union.

Yin and Yang, Dual Cultivation secret techniques—Liu Xuan's identity was mysterious; rumors outside claimed that he was very likely not a local of the Southern Frontier, but a Saint-level figure from the Joyous Union Sect of the East Sea, and that the Peach Blossom Demon Lord colluding with him was just wanting to get a share of the Pioneering War initiated by the Beast Taming Sect.
