The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!

"Let's start with the Yong generation!"

Ni Kun's words made the difference. His decision was the result of careful consideration—only with the rise of the second generation of the family could they better serve as the driving force.

Not long after.

The seventh brother, Ni Yongshuang, and the eighth brother, Ni Yongwu, rushed over.

Upon entering the ancestral hall.

The two then knelt on both knees, raised the burning incense in their hands above their foreheads, and said loudly, "Father above, we two swear before the spirit tablet that we will use our sincere hearts to follow the family's teachings, enter the path of Taoism to seek immortality, and dedicate ourselves to the cause. Now we are entrusted by the family, and in the future we will entrust the family to us, so that our descendants may enjoy the shade..."

After offering incense, the two slowly stood up, looking at Ni Yongxiao standing to the side with puzzled expressions, and asked in unison, "Fourth Brother, what is it about today that you require us to be so solemn?"

Ni Yongxiao smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "Seventh Sister, Eighth Brother, you two have already reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, and you only need a sliver of opportunity to break through!"

Speaking of it.

Ni Yongxiao paused briefly, then took out two exquisite brocade boxes and solemnly handed them to the two men: "As per your father's wishes, each of you will receive one of these Foundation Establishment Pills. I hope they will be of some help to you!"

"Father?" Upon hearing this, Ni Yongshuang and Ni Yongwu instantly grasped the key point of the words. They couldn't help but repeat it softly, their faces showing disbelief: "What does Father mean?"

"Ahem!"

Ni Yongxiao coughed twice and nodded heavily: "Father's last words!"

The four characters were spoken.

The two men trembled violently, immediately kneeling and kowtowing before the memorial tablet, crying out, "Father, your children will certainly not disappoint you!"

The two men's excited and solemn voices echoed in the silent ancestral hall as they kowtowed several times with reverence and a promise to their father.

"Hmm!" Ni Kun, sitting on the memorial tablet, was quietly watching the scene before him.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had suddenly come up with some amusing idea.

next moment.

With a loud crash, the memorial tablet, which had been placed steadily, fell to the ground without warning.

This sudden turn of events turned their faces deathly pale.

The seventh sister reacted the fastest. She hurriedly reached out and picked up the spirit tablet, carefully wiping it several times as if it were an extremely precious treasure.

Then, she gently placed the memorial tablet back in its original position, her movements soft and careful.

But before the seventh brother could even catch his breath...

"Clang!"

The memorial tablet seemed to be propelled by a mysterious force, and fell to the ground again.

Not only was the seventh sister terrified, but even the eighth sister next to her couldn't help but widen her eyes.

This time, just as the seventh brother was about to pick up the spirit tablet again...

"Seventh Sister!"

The eighth prince was even faster than her; with lightning speed, he protected the memorial tablet while complaining, "Father is blaming you!"

As Lao Ba spoke, he stretched out one hand and waved it vigorously outwards, clearly trying to keep Lao Qi away from the spirit tablet.

"Eighth Brother!" Ni Yongshuang was displeased upon seeing this and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! Besides Ninth Sister, Father loves me the most!"

however.

Ni Yongwu did not respond, but silently put the memorial tablet back in its original place.

He first bowed respectfully several times to the memorial tablet, then slowly turned around, looked at Ni Yongshuang in front of him, and asked in a slow and deliberate manner, "Look at you, always so cold and aloof. You're already 40 years old, yet you're still all alone... Don't you have any idea what your father's last wish was in 'The Family Management Treatise'?"

Lao Ba's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Ni Yongshuang's heart.

For a moment, she was completely stunned.

Followed by.

Ni Yongshuang's eyes gradually moistened, tears welling up in her eyes as if they might roll down at any moment.

Seeing this, Lao Ba realized he had gotten himself into trouble.

He quickly shut his mouth, not daring to utter a sound, and then, like a frightened rabbit, ran away without looking back.

"Seventh Sister!"

Seeing this, Ni Yongxiao quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Old Eight... he's such a blabbermouth, you know that. Please don't take what he said to heart..."

However, Ni Yongxiao had not finished speaking.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, Ni Yongshuang knelt down and kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing.

Ni Yongshuang slowly raised her head and looked at Ni Yongxiao with a serious expression: "Fourth Brother, I want to go on a blind date!"

These words were spoken.

With another "clang," the memorial tablet, which had been placed back on the altar by Lao Ba, fell to the ground once again.

This time, not only was Ni Yongshuang frightened, but even Ni Yongxiao, who was standing next to her, was stunned.

Upon seeing this, Ni Yongxiao hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the memorial tablet, and carefully placed it back on the memorial tablet.

Then he turned to Ni Yongshuang and earnestly advised, "Seventh Sister, don't rush. Focus on breaking through your cultivation level first. It's not too late to go on blind dates after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"

After listening to Ni Yongxiao's words.

Ni Yongshuang nodded obediently, then slowly stood up, glanced at her father's name on the memorial tablet, and silently walked into the night.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed onto the mountaintop, bathing the entire Ni family mansion in a golden glow.

On that very day, Ni Yongshuang and Ni Yongwu simultaneously announced that they would be going into seclusion for cultivation.

The news quickly spread throughout the Ni family, and everyone knew that the two were doing their utmost to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

A breakthrough is not merely an improvement in strength, but a process of vying with heaven and earth for creation—this is a struggle against the heavens!

The path to immortality is all about cultivating the Dao – the Dao is also about stealing, and the greatest thief steals from the heavens!

On the other side...

After experiencing the great battle, the other disciples also deeply realized their own shortcomings and all longed to have stronger cultivation in order to cope with the life-and-death challenges they might encounter in the future.

Therefore, these disciples all went all out and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation.

In contrast.

The most carefree and happy people in the Ni family are none other than Ni Yongtang and Feng Qingyue.

The two of them usually took Gu Nianci around to enjoy themselves, traveling to nearby counties, towns and villages, and indulging in the pleasures of the bustling world.

Gu Nianci, the young lady who had been confined by the sect for a long time, finally had the opportunity to experience the turbulent world and feel the bustling crowds and colorful scenery.

Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.

Before we knew it, seven days had passed.

The Ni family's secret chamber was originally a place of tranquility.

Suddenly, a series of "glug! glug!" sounds broke the silence.

Ni Yongxiao returned from outside, looking travel-worn. As soon as he entered the secret room, he eagerly picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Father!" Ni Yongxiao gasped for breath and hurriedly said, "After the four great families were wiped out by us, the Haoyue Sect has been unusually quiet... It's said that something major has happened within the sect!"

His voice was somewhat urgent, clearly indicating surprise and concern about the outcome.

"And the remnants of the four great families at the foot of the mountain!" Ah Xiao continued, his tone growing increasingly excited, "Before we could even make a move, the enforcement team wiped out their entire clan!"

He paused, seemingly still reeling from the shocking news: "Unfortunately, the jackals have just been wiped out, and now tigers and leopards are in power... Not to mention the markets, even unrelated industries have all been confiscated by the military!"

Ni Kun sat on a chair in the secret room and nodded slightly.

His reaction was calm, clearly indicating that these events were expected.

After all, in this large-scale purge, it no longer matters whether someone is a demonic cultivator or has committed a crime.

The rules of the game have always been the same: those at the top take the liquid benefits, while those at the local level seize the fixed assets.

Even thieves have their code of honor, but the "code" here only refers to the act of "stealing" itself—as the saying goes, petty tricks deceive the people!

This path cultivates the principle of diminishing the deficient to replenish the excessive—this is how one contends with others!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

As Ni Yongxiao spoke, he pulled out a thick stack of intelligence reports from his pocket.

He placed the intelligence on the table and quickly flipped through it, talking as he read.

"In these seven days, half of the cultivation families in the Yue Kingdom have been wiped out!"

The remaining families were all trembling with fear, walking on thin ice!

That brings us to this point.

Ni Yongxiao paused slightly, his brows furrowed, his voice revealing a hint of shock and lingering fear: "The situation is still deteriorating; it seems to be spiraling out of control!"

Ni Kun smiled slightly and slowly said, "It won't get out of control; it's just that the mergers and acquisitions among various forces will be more bloody!"

He then took a sip of tea and continued, "Historically, dynastic upheavals have always occurred when local warlords rise to power... Once the major powers take the stage, the world will be at peace for the time being!"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongxiao suddenly realized that the temporary peace in the world was due to the checks and balances among the top aristocratic families, rather than central control. Therefore, the collapse of the Yue Kingdom was only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, he looked at his father with a solemn expression, a deep anxiety flashing in his eyes.

"Then we..."
