Chapter 394: Chapter 290: The Benefits of the Peerless Ranking, Family Planning, and Forced Growth

The battle ended, and Jiang Muyun invited Su Yu to board his celestial boat, which Su Yu gladly accepted.

Upon landing on the deck of the celestial boat, the dozen young experts who previously surrounded Jiang Muyun were already waiting, and Jiang Muyun introduced them one by one.

"Jiang Wenzhao, a true disciple of our sect, First-Grade Dao Foundation."

"Hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Su."

"Li Yunfei, a true disciple of our sect, First-Grade Dao Foundation.

"A pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Su’s cultivation is remarkable, I, Yunfei, am impressed."

They were all from the Infinite Immortal Palace, at least core disciples, with two true disciples, at least upper Third-Grade Dao Foundation, and all from good backgrounds, obviously second-generation from large families.

Normally, someone like Su Yu, from an ordinary background, wouldn’t be in front of them, but at this moment, they all bowed their heads respectfully.

The celestial boat already had a banquet set up, with many spirit puppets offering gourmet spirit fruit and spirit wine, along with beautiful maids attending to them.

Su Yu did not refuse anyone, enjoying a drink.

After a few rounds of drinks, Jiang Muyun suddenly said to him:

"Mr. Su has already been listed on the Absolute List, you must have received the reward notification, right?"

Su Yu’s heart stirred, and he asked:

"Yes, is there anything particular about it?"

He focused his thoughts and once again opened the panel to look at that series of notifications.

Being listed on the Absolute List has several direct benefits, first of which is a military rank, directly elevated to the school level, where the Absolute List is Major, and the Tianjiao List is Lieutenant Colonel; the difference between the two is not significant.

Among the benefits for the rank of Major: 30,000 meritorious deeds per year, 1 great merit, which can be accumulated.

Each year, there is a 40% discount exchange benefit, which cannot be accumulated and expires if not used within the year.

In addition, there is a one-time reward of a heavenly merit, if listed on the Tianjiao List, there are two heavenly merits.

However, this heavenly merit reward is not cumulative but total. In the future, if he advances further and is listed on the Tianjiao List, one will be added, and he will not receive two again.

Jiang Muyun spoke in a deep voice:

"There are indeed some particulars."

"Heavenly merits can be exchanged for a Tier Ten Treasure, but I don’t recommend you exchange it now."

"For heavenly merits rewarded to those like us on the Absolute List or Tianjiao List, there is an invisible benefit that allows us to see and exchange anything in the Human Race Military’s total treasury, as long as it is there."

"The quality of Tier Ten Treasures varies, one heavenly merit at most can be exchanged for anything below a precious item; above that, one heavenly merit cannot suffice."

"Therefore, I suggest you accumulate some meritorious deeds first. If you have two heavenly merits, even a divine treasure can be exchanged. With three heavenly merits, you can directly exchange for some special supreme treasures."

"For example, some damaged treasures downgraded to Tier Ten, or Tier Ten treasures with a strong innate power that can be promoted to divine treasures at any time."

"Moreover, being listed on the Absolute List will bless you with human race luck, which will undeniably let you enter an epiphany state during your first deep retreat in the future, yielding massive benefits."

"However, the opportunity for epiphany is only once, so it’s best you make your choice wisely and control the direction of the epiphany yourself. Don’t waste this chance on something of little use."

"Hmm, I understand."

Su Yu sincerely thanked him:

"Thank you for enlightening me, Dao brother."

Jiang Muyun waved his hand with a smile:

"This is tradition. When I was first listed on the Absolute List, a senior also made a point to enlighten me. In the future, when you encounter such juniors, you can also give them some guidance."

"I will."

Su Yu stayed on Jiang Muyun’s celestial boat for two hours. When the boat departed and he returned to the ground to find his elder brother, everyone fell silent, and many didn’t dare to meet Su Yu’s gaze.

He did not quite understand the immense impact his demonstrated battle strength against Jiang Muyun had on the base cultivators. Whether it was the hundreds of meters tall true form, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, the Sky-Splitting Divine Axe, the Tier Ten Treasure - Ten Directions Ghost-God Diagram, or the Vast Sea’s world-ending innate water thunder, each posed a considerable shock to their minds.

Too dazzling for them to stare directly at.

Regarding this, Su Yu could only shrug his shoulders, showing no intention of changing.

Three hours later, at his elder brother’s villa, Su Yu shared his thoughts one by one with his elder brother and spoke in a deep voice:

"No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Su Bo pondered for nearly a stick of incense before he spoke:

"My thoughts align with Father’s; I intend to establish a branch of the Su Family here."

Su Yu, as if predicting this, nodded and asked:

"So, have you decided to set up independently, or to replace the established order?"

Su Bo asked:

"Is there a difference?"

Su Yu chuckled:

"There is indeed no difference."

"Then let’s proceed. I’ll prepare the resources for you, and you strive to elevate your cultivation to the Celestial Tribulation level within a year; after successfully crossing the tribulation, you’ll immediately become independent."

The elder brother was shocked:

"So soon?"

"Is it fast?"

"It’s only a year. How can one accumulate enough cultivation points and attain perfect cultivation within such a short time?"

"I have a method. Once Fourth Sister and Sixth Brother arrive, I’ll find a place for all of you to go into seclusion for cultivation."

"And what about the local guilds, like the Divine Sword Guild I originally joined?"

"Replace them directly in a year."

"This...."

"No need for further discussion, just decide like this."

Su Yu made the decision.

In one year, he would forcefully enhance several siblings to the level of Loose Immortals using the method of rapid growth.

Their qualifications were quite average, not much different from Su Yu before he began cultivation, so there was no hope for a high-grade Dao Foundation. A middle or lower-grade Dao Foundation would suffice.

When the other siblings arrive, Su Yu would open a separate area within the Sea Suppressing Realm for them to cultivate. With the millions of cultivation points and nearly a hundred levels of progress available daily from the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, a year is enough for them to complete the basic accumulation of the Qi Refining stage.

By combining various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with the Five Elements Scripture, and equipping them with a set of treasures, overcoming the first Great Celestial Tribulation should not pose a big problem.

Of course, this is limited to the lowest-tier tribulation.

They would surely die if they encountered a mid-tier tribulation.

But given their potential, they would likely face only the lowest-tier tribulation.

Although tribulations are random, they do have different ranges. Geniuses and top experts face random tribulations between mid-tier and high-tier; it’s impossible to randomly encounter the lowest-tier tribulation. Even if your talent and potential are strong, you cannot establish a high-grade Dao Foundation in such a way.

Therefore, the lower the strength, the weaker the tribulation faced. Random selection occurs within the lowest tier, and the probability of encountering a high-tier tribulation is very low, so if it happens, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and Su Yu would not be able to help either.

According to Su Yu’s estimation, this rapid forced enhancement might result in a low-grade Dao Foundation for his siblings, possibly seventh-grade, with a very slim chance of reaching a sixth-grade middle Dao Foundation.

A few Loose Immortals, coupled with an Earth Immortal Spirit Puppet, would allow them to establish a foothold and claim territory in the Qingshui River Basin without any issues.

This generation is responsible for the expansion, so their children can avoid rapid growth and can slowly grow to pursue a middle-grade or even high-grade Dao Foundation.

Holding the original Five Elements Scripture, Su Yu ensures that their descendants will not need to pay homage to a sect but only practice the family’s Heart Skill in the future.

Generation by generation expansion is how those great families among the human race have generally developed.

A week later, Su Yu’s other siblings came over, and upon learning about Su Yu’s current situation, they were naturally shocked and incredulous.

Fourth Sister Su Rui: 35 years old, only at level 82.

Sixth Brother Su Ling: 32 years old, level 86, a disciple of a small sect called the Water Moon Sect.

Ninth Brother Su Rui, 29 years old, level 81.

Apart from the oldest and second brother, none of the other siblings were married yet.

When everyone gathered, their father, Su Wen’an, held a family meeting, formally announcing the family’s decision, and establishing a series of rules and regulations to organize the family.

Previously, they were just a family with many children.

But with Su Yu’s rise, it was inevitable for the family to transform into a proper clan, with necessary rules.

During the meeting, Su Yu informed his siblings of his plans, letting them choose whether to accompany him to Blue Mountain or stay locally.

After much deliberation, Sixth Brother Su Ling, having been initiated into the Water Moon Sect, decided to stay behind, while Fourth Sister and Ninth Brother, who had no ties, decided to accompany Su Yu to Blue Mountain.

After the meeting, Su Yu immediately began distributing resources: each received one Longevity Fruit, three Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits, a pile of attribute-increasing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a set of the Five Elements Scripture, and a Tier Seven Treasure.

This included the two children of his eldest brother, who did not need rapid growth and could accumulate slowly.

Additionally, he brought out the Earth Immortal Spirit Puppet, along with the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner and Xia Xiaoyue’s Nine Heavens Cloud Pouch, both Tier Nine Treasures, giving them to his eldest brother.

As long as the eldest brother successfully crosses the tribulation, even with an eighth-grade Dao Foundation, wielding the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner would provide 1.56 million Qi and Blood, 210,000 Mana, 20,000 Physique, 20,000 Strength, and 65,000 Magic Damage. Combined with the profound Qi Refining Heart Skill, his combat prowess would not fall behind those with high-grade Dao Foundations lacking formidable treasures.

Of course, this is limited to those below level 150; low-grade Dao Foundations find it difficult to upgrade and will lag behind later.

After the distribution, Su Yu opened the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and demarcated a separate area that did not intersect with Vast Sea and the four women, allowing them to cultivate inside.

A year later, it should be possible to accumulate nearly 20 billion cultivation points and over 30,000 levels, which is more than enough for ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivators.

Having settled the family matters, Su Yu left Qingshui River with Qingchan.

A year later, when they would return, it would herald the family’s rise.

The two sat in a Flying Shuttle heading towards the Eastern Main City, Su Yu reclining leisurely on Qingchan’s lap, exhaling deeply and murmuring to himself:

"After taking care of the family, I can finally be at ease. In the future, we can freely venture out to explore."

Qingchan gently traced circles on his neck with her hair and asked:

"Where shall we go for training once this matter is concluded?"

Su Yu, contemplating while rubbing his chin, chose to answer her question with another:

"Have you ever heard of the Azure Blue Sea Realm?"

Qingchan thought for a moment and shook her head, replying:

"I’ve never heard of it."

"What about the Four Great Continents?"

"Haven’t heard of them either."

Curiously, she inquired:

"What kind of place is it? Is it like a large island domain similar to Blue Mountain where one can establish territory?"

"Hmm...it’s a sea realm even larger than the Mainland of Divine Land."

"Ten thousand times larger than the Mainland of Divine Land!"

"Is there a place that vast?"

Luo Qingchan sat up, extremely surprised:

"How come I’ve never heard of it?"

"Didn’t you hear about it from the ancestors of your family?"

At this point, Su Yu suddenly realized something and asked curiously:

"Speaking of our marriage, is your ancestor aware, or does he need to know?"

Qingchan shook her head and said:

"My ancestor has been in seclusion for most of the past millennium. The last time he emerged was seven years ago, and he only stayed out for about a year before going back into seclusion. Based on past patterns, it will take at least another three to five years for him to awaken."

"So, our marriage won’t awaken your ancestor?"

"It shouldn’t, unless we wait three to five years to get married."
