Chapter 2327: Chapter 1303:
Besides the admirers among those brought from the hidden mountains, the clansmen rescued from other countries also had admirers.
But he didn’t like the ones the family had chosen for him.
A few years ago, during a mission outside, while slaying monsters, he was noticed by the daughter of some minister or a princess from the palace.
However, he showed no interest in them, nor could they become his wife.
Initially, the girls among the clansmen he brought back didn’t catch his eye because some of them had been through certain ordeals.
They had already been trafficked and turned into pets for others.
Although those he rescued were very grateful, they wished to become his slave.
The Marquis, after joining the Saint Sect, discovered that the people here cultivated differently, possibly due to the difference in their blood, as they had no Spiritual Roots and couldn’t practice the Cultivation World’s techniques.
But upon joining the Saint Sect, things changed; they discovered that the techniques here could be cultivated by his clansmen, and he could cultivate them too.
Cultivating his own techniques alongside these techniques, engaging in dual cultivation, he found his power increasing much faster.
Having stayed at the base for some years now, his family members have continuously improved their cultivation, transforming from ordinary people to Qi Refiners.
He didn’t need to use a magic wand anymore; he could fly using Magical Treasures.
Recently, his father sent him a new batch of young women for him to choose from.
The Clan Leader chose potential future clan wives, who not only had beauty but excellence in various other aspects as well.
...
The Marquis realized that even as a Young Clan Leader, he couldn’t control his own destiny.
Moreover, selecting a wife was like choosing concubines, where he had to choose multiple rather than just one.
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, marrying someone as noble as a Young Clan Leader was a way for them to repay kindness by offering themselves.
Becoming the wife of the Young Clan Leader indeed carried more honor.
Their status was different in front of their clansmen.
Although they all joined the Saint Sect, the Sect Leader gave face to their Young Clan Leader, not requiring them to participate in other sect tasks or missions outside.
Just like others, they could use their diligent hands to exchange for items related to cultivation.
They could use their diligent hands to plant more substances.
Of course, they could also diligently cultivate, giving them the opportunity to read books in the Scripture Pavilion.
In this Saint Sect, the Young Clan Leader was their tribe’s manager, the highest administrator among their people.
They came here and would no longer suffer oppression, be harmed, or sold by others, and could live a peaceful life.
They could enter the cultivation threshold, become prominent figures, and such benefits were all provided by the Shao Clan Patriarch.
The Marquis watched his clansmen, and after cultivating the Cultivation World’s techniques, they had already transformed into more elegant forms.
They were no longer beast-headed, but still slightly different from Eastern people with a slight difference in hair color and facial features.
These differences were noticeable, distinguishing them from Eastern people.
They were not treated specially in the Saint Sect, nor were they treated unequally.
The Saint Sect’s Law stated that those who were unfamiliar with them couldn’t take resources from their families.
In this place, they could create using their hands, but not seize.
After completing tasks, they could enjoy benefits under this identity, but couldn’t take others’ benefits.
It’s not that no one thought of doing so; some cultivators who entered the Saint Sect after discovering that it included ordinary people and some weaker cultivators began to harbor ulterior motives.
But with just a single treacherous thought, they were detected by the Array before they could act; this person was thus shown the exit, marked as blacklisted by the base.
Even a single thought of betrayal was caught by the Array.
The others dared not entertain such thoughts.
Yuan Xiao and his team also entered the Fire Crystal Immortal Treasure.
The last time, his team, along with others, entered the Ice Crystal palace, where they encountered a hall that Buddha Ancestor transformed.
From there, they gained abilities that were previously unattainable, as they were practicing Buddhist Cultivation, distinct from a monk’s Buddhist practice.
However, in this hall, they absorbed Buddha Light akin to that of Immortals.
During their last tribulation, they made advancements; during this tribulation, they made different gains.
Buddha Light shone, and though they practiced Buddhism, Buddha Light and Metal had commonalities.
Yet, in their past, having a Metal Spirit Root wasn’t necessary to cultivate Buddhism; this was a unique family method that differed from a monk’s practices because their family’s Buddhist Cultivation permitted marriage.
They didn’t practice Virgin Boy Skills, Buddhist Scriptures, or various abstinences.
Though distinct from a monk’s Buddhist practice, their family’s Buddhist cultivation was very authentic.
This Buddhist spell carried righteous light and the purity of their souls.
Their Buddhist Cultivation and Taoist Cultivation shared some knowledge, such as chanting scriptures to aid people in transcending evil from their souls.
They were all elites within their family, and Yuan Xiao represented the strongest new-generation elites.
His team was already the family representative, appearing similarly this time but with more members.
These were the elite talents the family had to cultivate.
Following Yuan Xiao in tribulation and adventure, one day he might become the Family Head.
Just like the other Top Ten Clans, they all fostered new-generation talents, bringing forth exceptional individuals to compete for the family’s leadership.
In their growth process, the initially chosen individuals might not meet the expected high abilities.
They might evolve amidst various growth stages, or seemingly ordinary individuals could become dark horses.
Starting from their initial cultivation, testing their aptitude led to the family’s new training scheme beginning.
An average person might encounter much hardship in their average ascension.
An elite being groomed might go smoothly, but without the growth found in adversity, they might not achieve that level of remarkable greatness.
A minor setback might alter their mindset.
Yuan Xiao was a new talent fostered by the family, and he also brought out a group of people.
These people both protected and followed him.
Yuan Xiao was, in fact, Yuan Baozhu’s elder brother, and among others were cousins.
They all received elite education within the family.
A new method was adopted in fostering family talent.
Professionally trained by their elders, upon reaching a certain level of growth, they were sent out.
At this point, they sought resources throughout the Cultivation World.
Yuan Xiao encountered Jiang Tang and had the opportunity to surge forward, alongside the new generation of Heirs from the Ten Great Clans, the first-class and second-class family members, sharing a common goal: slaying intruding monsters.
The monster-slaying years brought abundant harvests, allowing for sales or collection of these items.
Throughout various trials, they grew quickly, thinking they were the best; only then did they realize no one excelled like Jiang Tang.
Recognizing Jiang Tang, they discovered he possessed techniques greater than their Buddhist Law, longing to learn.
Yet they mastered Buddhist Law, absent in their method was the powerful Buddhist Law formation.
Owning such an Array, they designed formations to trap cultivators far stronger than themselves.
Witnessing such Great Powers unable to escape those formations, even their so-called mightiest ancestor would be toyed with inside.
Yuan Xiao yearned to learn this formation, but regrettably, Jiang Tang wouldn’t teach him.
During Jiang Tang’s disappearance the past few years, they continued exploring, searching for him.
The longing remained of never witnessing the Buddhist Seal’s might once more.
