Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1456 Family Development
Not long after the Battle of Songye Island ended, Liu Changxu led the Liu family cultivators on their journey home.

After returning to Golden Ring Island, Liu Changxu's life returned to normal. Besides enjoying a carefree and pleasant life with his wives, he spent his days guiding the younger generation of his clan in their cultivation. Spending time with his family and supervising his descendants became almost his entire life.

A thousand years have passed quietly in these peaceful and tranquil days.

For Liu Changxu, this kind of life, though without dramatic upheavals, has its own sense of groundedness. Whenever he sees the younger generation, on whom he once placed high hopes, making progress in their cultivation or taking on important responsibilities in family affairs, growing step by step into an important force supporting the family, an indescribable sense of accomplishment wells up in his heart, as if he is seeing the saplings he planted with his own hands grow into towering trees.

Throughout his life, he fought across the stars and endured countless perilous battles. Wasn't his ultimate goal simply to ensure that future generations could live a peaceful and prosperous life in this stable world? This seemingly ordinary daily life was precisely what he pursued throughout his life.

Under Liu Changxu's meticulous guidance and the support of family resources, the Liu family's high-level cultivator ranks have grown steadily. Not only have the older generation of the family broken through their bottlenecks, but outstanding young talents have also emerged one after another. The number of cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage has increased several times over compared to the past, forming a force that cannot be underestimated.

His wife and children, on the other hand, made rapid progress on their cultivation path. Thanks to Liu Changxu's personal guidance and the supply of the purest resources, their cultivation improved far faster than their peers in the clan, and most of them have now entered the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Among them, those whose cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending include Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, Murong Yuyao, Liu Fuhai (twenty-one sons), and Liu Fuyin (fifteen daughters).

Those whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Tribulation Transcending include Yang Yuxuan, Xiao Zier, Zhao Qier, Xiao Ningxue, Dongxue, Su Yue'e, Zhao Qingxia, and their sons Liu Fuyang, Liu Fuba, and Liu Fuyu.

Those whose cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm include Chen Yufei, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Liu Qingying, Su Jinxiu, Li Zhenxin, and their fourth son Liu Fufeng, nineteenth son Liu Fuxiong, twentieth son Liu Fusheng, twenty-third son Liu Fule, twenty-fourth son Liu Fukun, twenty-fifth son Liu Fujin, twenty-seventh son Liu Fuzhao, twenty-eighth son Liu Fuxing, twenty-ninth son Liu Futian, thirtieth son Liu Fujiang, eldest daughter Liu Fujiao, and sixteenth daughter Liu Fuhui.

Those whose cultivation has reached the early stage of Tribulation Transcending include Lian'er, Li Yu, Lin Fengqing, Huang Xuefei, Zi Ling, Zi Su, Liu Fuhe (sixteenth son), Liu Fucheng (seventeenth son), Liu Fusheng (twenty-sixth son), Liu Fuxin (seventeenth daughter), Liu Fuyue (eighteenth daughter), Liu Fuchang (thirty-first son), Liu Futian (twenty-first daughter), and Liu Fuquan (thirty-second son).

Those whose cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void include Zi Ling, Zi Su, the thirty-third son Liu Fujian, and the twenty-second daughter Liu Fuqing.

With the improvement of his wife and children's abilities, the overall strength of the Liu family has become quite stable.

However, these peaceful days were not as smooth as they had imagined.

Because Liu Changxu laid a stable and prosperous foundation for his descendants, the Liu family's population expanded rapidly over the years.

The number of Liu family members living on Taibai Star alone has exceeded 800 million, of which more than 30 million possess spiritual roots and have embarked on the path of cultivation.

A thriving family is a symbol of prosperity, but it also brings about a series of thorny problems.

Those mortal people without spiritual roots are alright; they only need to be provided with basic food, clothing, shelter, and transportation to live a peaceful life.

However, those clansmen with spiritual roots who embark on the path of cultivation are different. To break through their cultivation barriers and pursue longevity, they need to consume an enormous amount of cultivation resources.

From basic spiritual rice to the magical artifacts and elixirs needed for advancement, everything requires enormous resources. However, the Liu family currently occupies only a limited territory on Taibai Star: Golden Ring Island, White Wolf Mountain, and Yellow Mountain Island. Supporting the survival of their clansmen is not a problem, but meeting the massive cultivation needs of the Liu family's tens of millions of cultivators is already a strain.

Fortunately, the family still has secret realms such as the Ruyi Lotus Palace, where spiritual items produced can fill a considerable gap; otherwise, the problem of resource scarcity would only be more severe.

Even so, internal conflicts arising from the unequal distribution of spiritual resources within the family continued to increase. Some branches felt that the resources were unfairly allocated, while some younger generations complained about the limited opportunities for advancement. These minor disputes, like hidden cracks, were gradually eroding the family's cohesion, causing Liu Changxu great concern.

He knew that if a solution wasn't found quickly, this seemingly solid family foundation would eventually crumble due to resource depletion and internal strife, greatly impacting the family's cohesion.

Therefore, Liu Changxu quickly made the decision to expand outwards, in order to open up new living space for his people.

When the members of the Liu family learned of Liu Changxu's decision, they were overjoyed and unanimously supported it.

In January 2005, Liu Changxu personally led 300,000 members of the Liu family's expeditionary force, aboard the Ruyi Sky-Patrol Ship, and set off into the deep sea.

Liu Changxu's target for this attack was very clear: Tierra del Fuego, which he had originally planned to conquer.

Currently occupying Fireland Island is a low-grade ninth-tier fire dragon. Previously, due to concerns about the potential involvement of the Azure Dragon Clan behind the fire dragon, Liu Changxu had not included it as a target to avoid antagonizing the Azure Dragon Clan.

However, the resource pressure brought about by the surge in the family's population is becoming increasingly imminent, making it imperative to expand their living space. Fireland Island, with its vast territory and a mid-grade ninth-rank spiritual vein, is the perfect choice to alleviate the family's predicament.

The Ruyi Sky-Piercing Ship, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, transformed into a dazzling aurora, speeding across the vast and magnificent sea.

The ship cleaved through the clouds, leaving a fleeting streak of light, leaving the magnificent scenery where the sea meets the sky far behind.

Liu Changxu stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, his black cloak billowing in the fierce sea breeze. He gazed at the ever-changing horizon where the sea and sky met, his eyes deep and thoughtful. The upcoming battle was not only a crucial fight for the family to expand its territory, but also a test of the strength accumulated over the years.

Even considering that killing the ninth-tier fire dragon might anger the Azure Dragon Clan, and even trigger a fierce battle with the entire Azure Dragon Clan, Liu Changxu felt no trepidation whatsoever. On the contrary, a long-lost surge of passion and anticipation welled up in his chest—the competitive spirit and fearlessness inherent in the bones of a strong person when facing a powerful enemy.

It wasn't just Liu Changxu who thought this way; his family members, including his wife and children, were also looking forward to this battle.

They flew in silence for more than a month before the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship arrived at the waters near Tierra del Fuego.

Before the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship could get close, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from Fireland Island.
