Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1574 Gao He's Visit
After discussing with his wives, Liu Changxu finally decided to build a large immortal city in a plain and hilly area close to the protective array of Yunxiao Mountain.

This location was chosen primarily to facilitate his timely arrival and support should the Immortal City face a severe crisis.

Since this was the first large-scale immortal city built in the Yunxiao Mountain region, Liu Changxu named it "Yunxiao Immortal City".

After deciding on this matter, he turned to look at the three women, Huang Yuyao, Huang Yuqiang, and Huang Yuwei, and said:
"Yu Yao, Yu Qiang, Yu Wei, all three of you now have the strength to break through to the Mahayana stage. Who is willing to go into seclusion to break through immediately? I can arrange it for you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuyao asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Your Majesty, if the three of us sisters all go into seclusion, won't it delay the construction of the Immortal City?"

"There's no rush to build this city; your cultivation is the most important thing."

Liu Changxu responded with a smile:
Hearing this, Huang Yuyao and the other two women were all moved.

However, although they all wanted to go into seclusion to attempt Mahayana cultivation right now, they also understood that it was unrealistic for all three of them to go into seclusion. The most important thing was that they were worried about their children.

In reality, Liu Changxu's family is only maintaining a superficial harmony. His women are divided into at least three factions based on their backgrounds.

Where there are people, there is bound to be intrigue and backstabbing, and this was certainly true among Liu Changxu's wives and concubines as well.

There's no shortage of behind-the-scenes competition for more favor and cultivation resources from their husbands.

Although the three Huang sisters hold an absolute advantage in the family due to their superior cultivation, if they all go into seclusion, it will inevitably greatly affect the interests of their lineage.

After exchanging a brief glance, Huang Yuyao and the other two women, Huang Yuwei, spoke up:

"Your Majesty, how about I stay here to oversee the construction of the Immortal City, and let my two elder sisters go into seclusion to break through their cultivation?"

"That's fine too."

After listening, Liu Changxu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement:
At this moment, Huang Yuqiang, standing to the side, looked at Liu Changxu and said with a proud expression:

"Your Majesty has now attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so it seems inappropriate to still call you 'Cloud Sky Immortal King.' You should be respectfully addressed as 'Cloud Sky Immortal Lord'!"

Liu Changxu listened and smiled gently:

"Heh, whether it's a Celestial King or a Celestial Lord, it's all just empty titles. There's no need to worry about it. From now on, don't call me 'Great King' anymore. Just call me 'Husband' instead; it sounds more intimate."

Upon hearing Liu Changxu's words, smiles spread across the faces of all the women present, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became cheerful.

Then, Liu Changxu patiently inquired about the cultivation progress of everyone present, and provided patient and detailed guidance based on each person's situation.

Often, with just a few words, he could easily dispel the mysteries that had long puzzled the crowd. Many people achieved breakthroughs on the spot after receiving Liu Changxu's guidance, which delighted everyone and made the atmosphere in the hall even more enthusiastic. Of course, Liu Changxu's guidance focused primarily on his six wives and sixty children; due to time constraints, he could only offer brief instructions to the other women!
Because there were too many people who needed Liu Changxu's guidance, the meeting did not end until the afternoon.

After the meeting, Huang Yuyao and the other women busied themselves preparing for the evening's banquet. Liu Changxu also went into the kitchen with great interest and personally cooked several of his signature spiritual dishes.

Those high-grade ingredients, which were extremely precious to high-level cultivators, were quickly transformed into delicious dishes with perfect color, aroma, and taste in his hands, making people's mouths water.

As night fell, the family gathered in the brightly lit banquet hall. Laughter and conversation filled the air as they enjoyed the delicious spiritual food and chatted about everyday life. A warm atmosphere permeated the hall, filled with the joy of family reunion.

On the morning of the fourth day after Liu Changxu emerged from seclusion, Emperor Gao He of the Great Qi personally led a team to pay his respects.

Upon meeting his son-in-law Liu Changxu, Gao He dared not put on any airs of a father-in-law and behaved with utmost humility. He knew very well that Liu Changxu, who had now attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, was no longer the Cloud King whom he had conferred the title upon. His status and cultivation had long surpassed those of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The reason he rushed to visit in person was to earnestly request Liu Changxu's help in stabilizing the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and deterring the covetous cultivation forces in the surrounding areas.

In this Blood God Cult rebellion, the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty suffered the most severe losses: not only did its pillar of strength, Ancestor Gao Huan, tragically perish, but two other Grand Elders at the early Mahayana stage, Gao Changqing and Gao Jin, also sacrificed themselves in the fierce battle against the Blood God Cult. Now, only he, Gao Lin, Gao Changgong, and Gao Ming remain among the Mahayana powerhouses of the Gao clan, representing nearly half of their high-end combat strength.

This significant reduction in power has severely weakened the Gao family's control within the Immortal Dynasty and their confidence in facing other Mahayana forces in the surrounding area, making their situation increasingly difficult.

Gao He was well aware that if his Gao family wanted to continue to hold onto the throne of the Great Qi Dynasty, they had to rely on Liu Changxu's prestige and strength.

Liu Changxu was well aware of the purpose of his father-in-law Gao He's visit, but he did not intend to expose it.

In the Cloud Palace, after Liu Changxu, Gao Xin, and Gao He took their seats as host and guest, Gao He, the father-in-law, congratulated Liu Changxu on attaining the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and presented him with a generous gift. He then recounted the enormous losses the Gao family had suffered during the Blood God Sect's rebellion and their current predicament, hoping to help the Gao family stabilize the situation.

After patiently listening to his father-in-law's request, Liu Changxu immediately comforted him gently:
"Father-in-law, do not worry. If anyone dares to harm the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, just say so. Your son-in-law will definitely uphold justice for you!"

Gao He was relieved to see that Liu Changxu had agreed to his request so readily. Then, he brought up another matter:

"My dear son-in-law, you have now attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, becoming an equal to the Purple Sun Ancestor. I wonder if you intend to join the Purple Sun Immortal Sect or establish your own sect in the future?"

"I haven't thought about that yet! I just don't know what you think I should do, Father-in-law?"

Liu Changxu did not answer directly because he had not yet seriously considered the question.

"Both of the paths I've mentioned have their advantages and disadvantages; it depends on your choice, son-in-law. If you're willing to join the Ziyang Immortal Sect, the external pressure you'll face will be much less. The downside is that truly integrating into the sect won't be easy, and you'll likely be marginalized. However, if you want to establish your own sect, you'll face significant external pressure. It's best to find a powerful sect with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal as your backer; otherwise, you could easily invite danger!"

Gao He offered his advice:
After listening to his father-in-law Gao He's advice, Liu Changxu immediately fell into deep thought.
