Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

After the immortal Songhe sailed away, a brief silence was broken in front of Chengxia Hall on Qixia Peak, followed by an uncontrollable cheer!

All members of the Li family, whether core members or collateral relatives, beamed with pride and excitement.

Representatives from the An family, Wang family, and other powerful families also stepped forward to offer their congratulations sincerely, their attitudes even more respectful than before.

"It's perfectly legitimate, and the trend is irreversible!"

Patriarch Li Mutian stroked the scroll of purple-gold decree in his hand, feeling the supreme authority and fortune contained within it. Even he, who was usually calm, felt a slight warmth in his eyes at this moment.

Decades of pioneering efforts and the sacrifices of the clansmen have finally earned them the official recognition from the Immortal Sect and secured the true foundation of the Luoxia Realm for the Li family!

"Pass down the order," Li Mutian composed himself, his voice regaining its usual decisiveness.

"Effective today, the 'Luoxia Li Family Centennial Development Plan' is officially launched, with Qixia Peak as its core!"

"All family resources and manpower will be prioritized for the construction of boundary arrays, the exploration and development of secret realms, talent cultivation, and the integration and management of newly relocated forces!"

He looked around at the core clansmen present: "Changhu, you are in charge of internal affairs and resource allocation. Propose specific regulations."

"Tongya, the construction of the array foundation cannot be stopped. At the same time, we should start studying the core array diagram of the 'Tai Xu Concealing Breath Protecting the Realm Array' and prepare materials and train personnel."

"Xiang Ping, you are in charge of external suppression and military deterrence, especially the management of independent cultivators and new immigrants. You must strictly enforce the ironclad rules set by your second brother!"

"Chijing, assist your elder brother Changhu in strengthening the assimilation policy for the indigenous people and the screening and recruitment of qualified individuals."

"Yes, Father!"

The four responded in unison, their eyes burning with high morale.

The Li family can finally unleash their potential and make great strides in this world that belongs to them!

Seeing his people's excited expressions, Li Xiaoyao was also filled with pride.

But he knew that while the prosperity of the family was important, as the only Purple Mansion in the family and the guardian of the Sunset Realm, his own cultivation level was the fundamental guarantee for how far the family could go in the future, and also the stabilizing force to deal with all the storms in the future.

"Brother, everyone," Li Xiaoyao said, his voice not loud, but it silenced everyone.

"I am at ease with you all handling the family affairs. I need to go into seclusion for a while to reflect on what I have gained, consolidate my spiritual realm, and make some preparations for the future."

"Second brother (second uncle), please feel free to go into seclusion!"

Everyone expressed their understanding and support.

A True Person of the Purple Mansion who is devoted to cultivation is the greatest asset and deterrent of the family.

…………

Deep within Chengxia Palace lies Xiaguang Cave, a meditation retreat specially created for Li Xiaoyao.

The cave dwelling was simple, containing only a futon, a jade table, and several spirit-gathering arrays that Li Xiaoyao himself had improved to draw in the earth's spiritual energy and the celestial glow from the outside world.

Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the futon, where wisps of rosy light and spiritual energy naturally gathered.

He took out the warm, smooth jade slip that had been given to him by his predecessor, "Taiyue Zhenren" (Canxia Zhenren).

He immersed his consciousness into it.

A vast and magnificent world of rosy clouds unfolded in his consciousness.

There are no specific words or images, only countless flowing and ever-changing images of rosy clouds, and the profound insights into the Dao and the trajectory of the practice contained within these images.

This inheritance is like a profound "Taoist painting," which requires later generations to observe, experience, and extract their own unique elements.

Li Xiaoyao was completely absorbed in it, his mind following the rise and fall, gathering and dispersing, ascending and descending of the rosy light...

He saw the rising sun, the purple aura coming from the east, and the resolute and vibrant light tearing through the darkness.

He saw the midday sun, its golden rays filling the sky, its intense brilliance illuminating the vast universe with unparalleled majesty.

He saw the setting sun, the fiery sunset, the magnificent and gentle beauty before its splendor faded into silence.

He saw the sky clear after the rain, a rainbow bridge spanning the sky, a tapestry of seven colors, a fleeting yet exquisite beauty.

He saw the clouds surging, the rosy glow like a curtain, shrouding the mountains, a hazy and mysterious scene that seemed both real and unreal...

Deep within this endless imagery of rosy clouds, he gradually captured, understood, and absorbed a clear core Daoist principle.

It's a feeling of viewing the sunset glow as a curtain hanging from the sky.

The rosy clouds are no longer just a natural phenomenon, but a grand, solemn, and ever-changing veil that separates heaven and earth, immortals and mortals, reality and nothingness.

Ascension and transcendence may be the ritual of passing through this rosy veil and paying homage to the Heavenly Gate.

"The rosy clouds hang like a curtain across the sky; ascension is the ceremony of paying homage at the heavenly gate..."

Li Xiaoyao murmured to himself, his eyes shimmering with light, a sense of enlightenment gradually emerging.

"【Visiting the Cloud Curtain】...Is this the name of the first supernatural power you attained, senior? To pay homage to the curtain of the clouds...What a beautiful image!"

"As expected of the culmination of the predecessor's hard work... Although the path has changed, this original inheritance is truly a gem, pointing straight to the core."

Li Xiaoyao was filled with gratitude and admiration.

This inheritance not only gave him a clear path to cultivate a second supernatural power that he could begin immediately.

He was also a wise guide who revealed to him more possibilities and deeper mysteries of the Rainbow Path.

Without much hesitation, Li Xiaoyao calmed his mind and officially began his seclusion.

The foundation of his second divine power will be this, but its final form will be the Radiant Path that belongs only to him!

.........

Time flies when you're in seclusion.

Li Xiaoyao spent a full twenty years on this comprehension.

Twenty years is half a lifetime for ordinary people, but for cultivators of the Purple Mansion, it is just a fleeting moment, especially when they are immersed in comprehending the Great Dao.

Over the past twenty years, he has used the Dao Foundation of [Yuxia Tian] as a reference to dissect, understand, and consider how to coordinate it with his own existing system.

After twenty years of meditation and contemplation, the Xia Guang Cave sometimes shines brightly, reflecting a dazzling light on the cave walls; at other times, it is completely silent, with only the subtle flow of Daoist energy around Li Xiaoyao resonating with the rosy light of the outside world.

Over the past twenty years, the Luoxia Realm has undergone tremendous changes.

The aura of Qixia Peak has been formed, and the main framework of the Taixu Grand Array has been completed. Although it has not been fully activated, it has already begun to possess the ability to conceal itself.

The number of Li family members has increased several times over, and the new generation of "Xuan" generation is beginning to emerge.

Li Changhu successfully established his foundation, and Li Xuanfeng became the first foundation-establishing cultivator in the third generation of the family, his archery skills becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Li Mutian's cultivation level steadily improved to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while Li Tongya, Li Xiangping, and Li Chijing also made progress.

Luoxia Market has become one of the more well-known trading hubs in the surrounding area.

Inside the quiet room, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, a fleeting seven-colored light flashing within them.

I have finally completed the preliminary analysis of the divine power and rhyme of [Yexiaowei] and adapted it to my own Dao foundation.

"We can begin."

He decided to use the fire elemental root from his four spiritual roots as the prerequisite for carrying and cultivating this second divine power.

Fire represents light, heat, ascension, and change, and has a natural affinity and opportunity for transformation with the glow of the sunset, especially the intense and brilliant glow.

Next came the step-by-step cultivation process.
