Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1502 Family Feast and Sermon

One day in May of the year 2292 of the Great Han Dynasty, with the official activation of the teleportation array platform leading to Xuanhuang Star, the three interstellar teleportation arrays connecting Neptune Star, Bailing Star, and Xuanhuang Star were finally completed.

When the first batch of Liu family members were teleported to the teleportation platform at Jiuhua Mountain, Liu Changxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the past few decades, from the endless battles against the Zerg catastrophe to the tireless efforts to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty, and the day-and-night work of setting up teleportation arrays, Liu Changxu has had almost no time to rest.

Now, with Jiuhua Mountain's defenses impregnable and its interstellar network extensive, the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty is firmly established, and he can finally enjoy a few peaceful days.

So, two months after the interstellar teleportation array was completed, Liu Changxu gathered his family in the Ruyi Lotus Palace for an unprecedentedly grand banquet.

On the morning of July 20th, 2292 of the Great Han Dynasty, the family banquet was held as scheduled. Not only were Liu Changxu's wife Duan Yuwei, but also all the women present, including Murong Yuyao, Wu Xuege, Xiao Zier, Zhao Qier, Chen Yufei, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Su Jinxiu, Li Zhenxin, Lian'er, Dongxue, Yang Yuxuan, Su Yue'e, Zhao Qingxia, Xiao Ningxue, Ziling, Zisu, Li Yu, Lin Fengqing, and Huang Xuefei.

Liu Changxu's surviving children, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and those with more distant bloodlines but whose cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage or above, also came from all over to participate in this rare grand event.

Although Liu Changxu imposed certain restrictions on the identities of those attending the family banquet, the number of attendees still reached hundreds of thousands, and even then, it was only a small fraction of Liu Changxu's bloodline descendants.

Liu Changxu's younger brother, Liu Changyan, also brought some of his descendants to attend the family banquet, which made the older brother especially happy.

However, what Liu Changxu cared about most was the cultivation level of his wife and children.

Currently, Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, Murong Yuyao, Liu Fuhai (twenty-one sons), and Liu Fuyin (fifteen daughters) have all reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation.

Those whose cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending include Yang Yuxuan, Xiao Zier, Xiao Ningxue, Dongxue, Su Yue'e, Zhao Qingxia, as well as the eleventh son Liu Fuba and the twenty-second son Liu Fuyu.

Those whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Tribulation Transcending include Zhao Qier, Chen Yufei, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Liu Qingying, Su Jinxiu, and their fourth son Liu Fufeng, seventh son Liu Fuyang, 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, eldest daughter Liu Fujiao, and sixteenth daughter Liu Fuhui.

Those whose cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm include Li Zhenxin, Lian'er, Li Yu, Lin Fengqing, Huang Xuefei, Liu Fuchao (sixth son), Liu Fuxiong (nineteenth son), Liu Fuyue (eighteenth daughter), Liu Fujiang (thirtieth son), Liu Fuchang (thirty-first son), Liu Futian (twenty-first daughter), and Liu Fuquan (thirty-second son).

Those whose cultivation has reached the early stage of Tribulation Transcending include Zi Ling, Zi Su, Liu Fuhe (sixteenth son), Liu Fucheng (seventeenth son), Liu Fuxin (seventeenth daughter), Liu Fujian (thirty-third son), and Liu Fuqing (twenty-second daughter).

Liu Changxu was quite satisfied with the cultivation levels of his wife and children, but at this family banquet, he was most concerned about the situation of his grandchildren and other bloodline descendants, whom he rarely saw on ordinary days.

Therefore, despite the large number of juniors present, Liu Changxu received them all individually. He offered brief guidance based on each person's cultivation level and aptitude, and even bestowed upon them some suitable spiritual items.
Because there were so many people, the family banquet was turned into a continuous feast. However, although it was a continuous feast, the spiritual dishes on the table were all top-quality delicacies made with high-grade ingredients from the four major cultivation stars.

Many people broke through their cultivation levels after consuming the spiritual food, thanks to the immense spiritual power contained within it. On the morning of the day after the family banquet, the vast Golden Silk Jade Square in the Jiuhua Mountain preaching ground was already packed with clansmen.

Accompanied by his wife and children, Liu Changxu descended onto the white jade platform of the temple. Upon seeing the appearance of the ancestor, hundreds of thousands of people below the platform instantly fell silent, their eyes filled with reverence and anticipation.

Liu Changxu sat cross-legged on the high platform, a faint spiritual light gradually emanating from his body, subtly resonating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He did not rush to speak, but closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze seemed to pierce through the clouds and reach the depths of the starry river.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is formless and imageless, yet it is omnipresent." His voice was not loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power, clearly reaching everyone's ears. "All of you cultivators are seeking to glimpse a corner of the Great Dao. However, the Great Dao is not immutable; it flows like water and is as unpredictable as the wind. It must be sensed with the heart and verified through action."

As he spoke, he lightly flicked his finger, and thousands of points of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the podium, some clustered, some scattered, some bright, some dim. "For example, the movement of the stars seems disordered, but in fact follows the trajectory of the laws of space and time; just like the growth of plants, spring brings forth life, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage, which is in harmony with the Dao of the cycle of life."

He started by discussing the most basic principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, then talked about the connection between magical power and laws. He also used his own cultivation experience as an example to analyze the understanding of the laws of space and time by Mahayana practitioners.

"The laws are not shackles that bind people, but the workings of heaven and earth. If you follow them, you can leverage their power; if you understand them, you can harness their strength..."

The audience listened intently or pondered deeply. Many cultivators who were stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation suddenly brightened up when they heard a certain insightful comment. They subconsciously circulated their magical power, and their cultivation level improved instantly.

This lecture lasted from the first light of dawn to the moon high in the sky. Liu Changxu's voice remained steady and gentle throughout, yet it nourished the listener's heart like spring rain.

When Liu Changxu left the platform, many people below had already sat cross-legged, immersed in their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

For the next six days and six nights, Liu Changxu's wife and children took turns going on stage to either supplement and explain the details of the laws or share their own insights in the fields of alchemy, weaponry, formations, and swordsmanship.

The entire preaching hall seemed to transform into a vast arena for enlightenment. Countless clansmen, through this continuous preaching, either solidified their foundations, broke through bottlenecks, or gained a completely new understanding of the Great Dao.

After the sermon ended, as the clansmen dispersed, the once bustling Jiuhua Mountain suddenly became much quieter.

However, Liu Changxu's wife and children did not leave. Yang Yuxuan, Xiao Zier, Xiao Ningxue, Dongxue, Su Yue'e, and Zhao Qingxia, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage, as well as his eleventh son Liu Fuba and twenty-second son Liu Fuyu, all requested Liu Changxu to prepare for a closed-door cultivation to break through to the Mahayana stage.

This time, however, Liu Changxu did not grant all their requests. He only agreed to let Xiao Zier, Dong Xue, and his son Liu Fuba go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Although the others have reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending, their foundation is not solid enough, which reduces their success rate in breaking through.

Finally, under Liu Changxu's arrangement, Xiao Zier, Dongxue, and Liu Fuba began their seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the Mahayana stage.
