Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

Li Xiaoyao dared not be negligent, knowing that this was a crucial step in the formal registration process.

With a thought, the glow behind him gathered, and a hazy, ethereal, nine-tiered platform of glow appeared, seemingly constructed from endless rays of light!

Above the Cloud Terrace, mountains and clouds flowed and the light of the sky shifted and flickered, which was the manifestation of the Daoist charm of his innate divine power, [Royal Cloud Heaven].

As soon as the phantom appeared, it resonated with the three-colored jade scroll in the air, which was azure, purple, and gold.

The runes on the jade scroll circulated faster, seemingly quite interested in this newly born divine power of radiant light, imbued with a strong aura of world ascension.

Li Xiaoyao pointed his fingers like a sword and gently guided them towards the core of his illusory divine power.

"call out--"

A wisp of refined and pure divine power, displaying magnificent rosy hues and carrying the weight of the Earth element and the ethereal essence of the Heavenly Dao at its core, shot out from his fingertips and disappeared into the jade scroll of three colors: blue, purple, and gold.

"Buzz—!!!"

The jade scroll, stimulated by this aura, immediately shone brightly!

The three colors of light—blue, purple, and gold—expanded, intertwining, colliding, and merging with the radiant energy that Li Xiaoyao had poured in, forming a dazzling halo.

At the center of the halo, the rolled-up jade slip slowly unfurled a corner, revealing ancient runes inside that seemed to be written with stars as ink and the void as paper.

Li Xiaoyao's wisp of radiant divine power finally condensed into a brand new, complex, and beautiful radiant rune at the blank space at the end of the jade scroll!

The rune flickered slightly before settling down, joining the other twenty-odd runes on the scroll, each with a unique shape and an aura.

At the same time, Xiao Xiting's expression was solemn. He formed a special hand seal with both hands. The Kunpeng phantom behind him shone brightly, resonating strongly with his own Purple Mansion power, the hand seal in his hands, and the unfolded "Divine Power True Record: Void Proof Scroll".

He spoke, his voice not particularly loud, but with the enhancement of his supernatural powers, it transformed into clear, majestic Dao sounds that seemed to resonate directly at the soul level, instantly spreading throughout the entire Luoxia Realm, which had just advanced and whose laws of heaven and earth had not yet been completely pacified!

Whether it was the Li family members and surviving cultivators who had survived the calamity in Luoxiafang City.

Or perhaps they are scattered creatures that narrowly escaped the monstrous tide, or even those bewildered natives who have just regained a sliver of clarity...

At the same moment, everyone heard this proclamation, which seemed to descend from the highest point of the heavens:

"By the decree of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect."

The sound of the Dao was magnificent, carrying supreme authority, which made the listeners involuntarily feel awe and hold their breath.

"It governs the newly established Lesser Thousand Worlds—Luoxia Realm."

"There was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Li Xiaoyao, whose Dao heart was unwavering. During his advancement in the realm, he bravely shouldered the karmic consequences, successfully reaching the Purple Mansion realm, and was bestowed the Dao title—Shangyuan!"

"Its innate divine power, [Yuxia Tian], is characterized by its radiant light, which embodies the Dao, responds to the heavens and earth, and is unique in its own right. After examination and verification in the 'True Records of Divine Powers of the Immortal Sect - Volume of Emptiness,' it has been confirmed as a path of rainbow light, belonging to the category of Emptiness Transformation."

"In accordance with the old customs of the Immortal Sect, I hereby grant you this opportunity and also assign you responsibilities. Your name will be recorded in the Immortal Sect's Purple Palace Register, where you will enjoy the offerings of the outer elders and assume the duty of guarding the Sunset Realm."

"I hope you will diligently cultivate the Great Dao, protect this region, uphold the Dao with sincerity, and illuminate this world! Do not fail the cultivation of the Immortal Sect, and do not go against the righteous path of Heaven and Earth."

"The path of immortality values ​​life and extends to all beings without limit!"

"The decree has been delivered, and all the heavens bear witness! Congratulations!"

The solemn and dignified declaration, like a divine decree, echoed between heaven and earth.

"Is it information about my second uncle/second brother/the carefree patriarch?"

The Li family members were stunned at first, then overjoyed!

"Purple Mansion! Supreme Primordial True Person! Sunset Realm! Exclusive Territory!"

Each keyword struck like a thunderclap, exploding in their weary hearts and bringing unparalleled excitement and pride!

Those surviving non-family cultivators and rogue cultivators, amidst shock and awe, realized that this world had changed hands and welcomed its true master!

Li Xiaoyao, the Purple Mansion Ancestor of the Li Family and the Supreme Yuan True Man!

As the final Daoist chant faded, the magnificent sound that had resonated throughout the world slowly dissipated.

In the sky, the light of the jade scroll, shimmering with azure, purple, and gold, gradually receded, rolled up again, and transformed into a stream of light that flew back into Xiao Xiting's sleeve. The illusory image of the Kunpeng then vanished.

Xiao Xiting floated down and returned to Li Xiaoyao's side, her face regaining its previous peaceful smile.

Li Xiaoyao, however, was filled with turbulent emotions and found it difficult to calm down for a long time.

While the name that had just been sung throughout the world was certainly impressive, Xiao Xiting's initial regret and words about the empty certificate took root and sprouted in his heart like a seed.

He was no longer the same novice he once was. The Purple Mansion Realm brought him not only power, but also a sharper spiritual sense and a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

He vaguely sensed that his seemingly powerful and unique Void Proof Divine Power might contain some kind of huge... limitation.

He could no longer contain himself and bowed deeply to Xiao Xiting, who had just landed, his tone filled with urgency and confusion:

"Senior Xiao! From what you just said, could it be that this 'Emptiness Proof' supernatural power is actually... a path that leads to annihilation?"

"I, Li Xiaoyao, have endured countless hardships to attain this path. Could it be that the path I have realized is merely a minor one in the eyes of the immortal sects? Is my future bleak?"

Seeing the confusion, resentment, and vague anxiety in Li Xiaoyao's eyes, Xiao Xiting smiled understandingly and gestured for him to calm down.

"Fellow Daoist Shangyuan, please don't be impatient, let me explain slowly."

Xiao Xiting stroked his beard, organized his thoughts, found a clean patch of cloud and sat down cross-legged. Li Xiaoyao quickly sat down opposite him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what 'emptiness proof' is?"

Xiao Xiting slowly spoke, "The so-called Void Proof Transformation Divine Power, in short, is a divine power that is born by chance under the convergence of special timing, location, and human factors that are unprecedented in ancient and modern times. It is unique and has no precedent to follow, and is outside the existing mature Taoist system."

"Your [Royal Cloud Heaven] is born from Earth, but it incorporates the true meaning of 'emptiness' and 'clouds' in the moment of world ascension."

"Strictly speaking, the Rainbow Cloud Path you have attained is independent of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Twelve Qi, and the ancient ways."

(Note: This refers to common Yin-Yang and Five Elements, as well as derived or special attributes such as wind, thunder, ice, and evil spirits.)

"And like you, Fellow Daoist, under certain circumstances (usually when the world advances, the laws change drastically, or when you come into contact with special treasures), your immortal foundation and divine abilities undergo fundamental changes."

"The newly born supernatural power, which cannot be simply categorized within any existing mainstream Taoist framework, is called the 'Void Proof Transformation Supernatural Power'."

"Such supernatural abilities are often unique, and their core principles, development potential, and advancement paths are all tied to the creator."

"According to the classification of immortal sects, you belong to the 'Empty Proof' category in the 'New Daoist Tradition'."

He paused for a moment and explained, "Fellow Daoist, you should know that under the rule of my Azure Sky Immortal Sect, there are many newly developed or newly advanced planes and worlds like the Sunset Realm."

"Even in the many orderly cultivation worlds of the myriad realms, the mainstream method now is the 'ancient technique innovation' method."

"The so-called 'ancient arts' refer to the relatively complete basic framework of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and different attributes that have been passed down from ancient times and even earlier."

"Innovation is about developing new techniques, supernatural powers, and applications within this framework, by combining the changes of the times with personal insights."

"But no matter how things change, their fundamental principles generally do not deviate from the categories of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Twelve Qi, and ancient times."

"Although the path ahead of such a lineage may be fraught with difficulties and obstacles, the general direction is clear, there are countless experiences of predecessors to follow, and a relatively mature system of cultivation methods that can be learned from and exchanged."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know how many people within the vast territory of my Azure Sky Immortal Sect throughout the past thousand years have been recorded as having attained the 'Void Proof of the Divine Dao Lineage'?"
