Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1355 Family Development
One day in March of the 409th year of the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Changxu, having ended the war against demons, led the Great Han Imperial Guard back to the Cloud Immortal City.

Under Liu Changxu's leadership, the results of this demon-hunting war were extremely brilliant:

They successively slew seven eighth-tier sea monsters and sixty-three seventh-tier sea monsters, not to mention countless sixth-tier and lower-tier sea monsters. The power of the Boundless Sea Monster Clan was thus greatly weakened, making it unlikely they would pose a threat to the human race of the Mazu Continent for at least a thousand years.

Besides their dazzling kill count, the Han Imperial Guards also reaped a rich harvest of spoils. During their campaign against the sea monsters, they discovered numerous high-grade spirit gold and spirit stone veins.

Upon discovering this, Liu Changxu immediately organized the Imperial Guards to mine the treasures, resulting in a massive harvest of high-level spiritual items.

When the war ended, almost everyone's storage magic treasures, including Liu Changxu's, were filled with spiritual objects.

Compared to the glorious results, the Han Imperial Guard suffered very few casualties in the demon-hunting operation, with only more than 10,000 people dying in battle, most of whom were soldiers with lower cultivation levels.

Liu Changxu was extremely satisfied with the results of this demon-hunting operation and planned to lead the human alliance army in a few years to launch a larger-scale demon-hunting war against the demon forces in other sea areas of Poseidon Star, focusing on striking high-level sea monsters and eliminating the threat of sea monsters to the human race to the greatest extent possible, in order to prevent the sea monsters from launching another super beast tide that would endanger the safety of the human race after he left Poseidon Star.

Back in Cloud Soaring Immortal City, Liu Changxu hosted a grand banquet at Cloud Soaring Immortal Palace to celebrate this glorious victory. Many outstanding Imperial Guard soldiers who had distinguished themselves in the Demon Hunting War were invited to attend.

When Liu Changxu's children who had not participated in the war learned of their father's return, they also rushed from all over the country, making the Cloud Palace extremely lively.

At the banquet, Liu Changxu, his wife and children, his younger brother Liu Changyan, his daughter-in-law Zhou Xuetang, and Duan Yuwei's disciples Lu Yuzhu and Xiao Ningxue sat around a huge jade table.

As everyone enjoyed the delicious food on the table, they shared interesting stories from the demon-hunting war.

Liu Changxu sat in the main seat, enjoying the delicious food while patiently listening to his son Liu Fuyue's report on the situation of the Immortal Dynasty and the Liu family over the years.

"Father, not long ago, we specially organized people to conduct a census of the family population on Neptune Star, Bailing Star, and Xuanhuang Star."

The results were gratifying. The Liu family on Xuanhuang Star had reached two billion members, the Liu family on Bailing Star had five billion members, and the Liu family on Haishen Star had five billion members. "My son, Liu Fuyue, introduced with great excitement.

Upon hearing that the Liu family's total population had reached an astonishing nine billion, Liu Changxu was extremely excited, especially since a considerable portion of them were his blood relatives.

Although he has been preoccupied with many affairs of the Great Han Dynasty and the Human Alliance in recent years, which has reduced his attention to his family, Liu Changxu knows in his heart that his family is the solid, reliable, and truly dependable force for him.

The Great Han Immortal Dynasty has many affiliated families, but very few are truly dedicated to serving the Immortal Dynasty wholeheartedly.

Even though some top cultivation families actively align themselves with the Immortal Dynasty, it's mostly for the sake of profiting from it. Once someone offers them even greater benefits, these families will not hesitate to betray the Immortal Dynasty.

As for the other top cultivation forces of the human race, the situation was even more similar. On the surface, they respected Liu Changxu as the leader of the human alliance and even took the initiative to arrange marriages with him.

However, this is mainly because the continuous invasions by demons and alien races in recent years have put them in a crisis of survival, forcing them to take this stance out of desperation.

Once the threat from the alien races is eliminated and Liu Changxu's suppression is gone, it's hard to predict what actions these top human cultivation forces will take.

Therefore, after listening to his son's report, Liu Changxu made up his mind that his next step would be to focus on strengthening the training of the family's cultivators. Thinking of this, Liu Changxu asked:
"How many cultivators does my Liu family currently have?"

"According to statistics, the number of cultivators in my Liu family has reached 95 million, including 32 million cultivators in the Poseidon Star family, 18 million cultivators in the Xuanhuang Star family, and 40 million cultivators in the Bailing Star family."

Liu Fuyue replied:
"How many family cultivators are there at the Golden Core stage or above?"

Liu Changxu asked with concern:

"Currently, the family has 168,000 Golden Core cultivators, of which 95,000 are on Poseidon Star, 5,000 on Xuanhuang Star, and 68,000 on Bailing Star."

After listening to his son Liu Fuyue's explanation, Liu Changxu fell into deep thought again.

Although the family has a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators, it is still far from enough compared to the number of Golden Core cultivators in other top-tier cultivation forces of the human race!

Take the two million Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty as an example. Even ordinary soldiers are Golden Core cultivators. Therefore, the number of 160,000 Golden Core cultivators cannot solidify the Liu family's position in the Han Dynasty and even the human race of the Sea God Star!
Then, Liu Changxu spoke with a serious expression:
"Next, you should pay more attention to the progress and growth of the family's younger generation. Although 160,000 Golden Core cultivators are already very rare, they are still far from enough for my Liu family!"

Furthermore, a population of nine billion is far from enough; the clan must also formulate more generous policies to incentivize childbirth and encourage clan members to marry and have children!

Upon hearing their father's words, the children present all showed delighted expressions. They all knew that their father was going to pour a lot of resources into the cultivation of their family's cultivators, which was a major benefit for the Liu family.

"My child obeys!"

Liu Fuyue quickly replied:
Then, Liu Changxu asked his son many questions about the family's development.

And so, what should have been a pleasant banquet turned into a discussion about family affairs.

After the banquet, Liu Changxu summoned the top members of the Liu family to Yunxiao Immortal Palace to discuss the family's development.

After a heated discussion, the meeting decided to establish the Imperial Clan Court to manage the internal affairs of the Liu family, separating the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty from those of the Liu family, in order to avoid confusion between family affairs and the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty, and to ensure that the family's interests are not divided.

The head of the Imperial Clan Court was Liu Changxu, who also established the Supreme Elder Council, the Elder Council, and other institutions such as the General Affairs Hall, the Alchemy Hall, and the Weapon Refining Hall, to be fully responsible for managing the family affairs.

However, in addition to these ordinary family institutions, Liu Changxu made a special decision to establish an Imperial Guard composed entirely of members of the Liu family who had reached the Golden Core stage or above.

Liu Changxu decided to use all his accumulated resources to cultivate this army. As long as the Liu family members joined this army, they would receive ample cultivation resources to help them advance and grow.

Of course, while receiving the most abundant resources, the Imperial Guard soldiers will also be subject to the strictest management to ensure the army's combat effectiveness.

Liu Changxu's real intention was to use the guise of building an army to openly cultivate outstanding members of the Liu family, thereby strengthening the family's power.
