Before my eyes, a month had passed. As the establishment ceremony of the Lu Family of Blue Lake Mountain drew near, the whole of Blue Lake Mountain was bustling with activity. Many family powers sent representatives to observe the ceremony and offer congratulations. After all, Lu Changsheng, the master of Blue Lake Mountain, had established the Lu Family with his inheritance of the Talisman Path, having slain three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators of the Yu Family on his own, earning himself a formidable reputation! His Dao companion, Ling Zixiao, was an Array Master. Not long ago, when Lu Changsheng visited the Qingyun Sect, Ling Zixiao single-handedly killed the approaching Xiahou Monie! This news also shocked and stunned many of the surrounding family powers. The greatest deed Xiahou Monie had committed was annihilating Feng Family Fortress in one night, killing two Foundation Establishment Ancestors. However, this terrifying Xiahou Monie had taken a tumble at Blue Lake Mountain, which was truly shocking. This spread the fame and prestige of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family far and wide. "Wugong Ridge, Zheng Family Ancestor, has arrived!" "Hundred Birds Lake, Bai Family Ancestor, has arrived!" "Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Family Ancestor, has arrived!" On this day, the establishment ceremony of the Lu Family of Blue Lake Mountain officially began. At the mountain gate, Lu Ping’an and his brothers welcomed the guests who arrived to partake in the Lu Family’s celebration. Ordinary Loose Cultivators and Energy Refining Family powers nearby were received by Lu Ping’an and others, who guided them to their seats in the villa. The prominent Foundation Building Great Cultivators were personally escorted by Lu Miaoge and seated in the grand hall. "Qingyun Sect, Zhao Qingqing, has arrived!" "Qingyun Sect, Han Lin, has arrived!" "Qingyun Sect, Xia Zhaoyang, has arrived!" At this moment, a few of Lu Changsheng’s good friends arrived.

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, leading them to their seats. Many people in the hall were surprised to see this scene, they hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to have so many friends in the Qingyun Sect. "Qingyun Sect’s Fairy Xi Yue, presents her congratulations to the establishment of the Lu Family of Blue Lake Mountain..." Just at that moment, a voice called out, shocking many of the smaller family forces who had arrived. "Qingyun Sect’s Fairy Xi Yue!?" "Is it the Qingyun Sect’s Caiyun True Immortal’s high disciple, Xiao Xi Yue, who has come to attend the Blue Lake Mountain’s establishment ceremony!?" "I never expected Ancestor Lu to have such connections with the Qingyun Sect!" "I’ve heard that the Mountain Lord Lu not only possesses great destiny but also an unusual romantic charm; could it be that he has a special relationship with Fairy Xi Yue of the Qingyun Sect as well?" "Hiss, we shouldn’t speak recklessly!" Hearing this commotion, the family powers were inwardly shocked, gaining a new understanding of the network of relationships of Blue Lake Mountain. After all, for them, even just having a bit of acquaintance with a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Qingyun Sect was remarkable. And now, a high disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal was willing to attend the Blue Lake Mountain establishment ceremony. "Fairy Xi Yue." Inside the grand hall, when Lu Changsheng heard of Xiao Xi Yue’s arrival, his face immediately revealed a smile, and he went outside to greet her. "Lu Daoist." Clad in a moon-white dress, Xiao Xi Yue resembled a nine heavens bright moon, exuding a cool and noble aura that captured the attention of several people who wanted to greet her. "Please take a seat, Fairy Xi Yue." Their current relationship was not yet suitable for public disclosure; it was as ordinary as that of other guests. However, Ling Zixiao beside him couldn’t help but take an extra glance at Xiao Xi Yue. "Eh, little Wangshu’s eyebrows and eyes, they bear a resemblance to Fairy Xi Yue." Qu Zhenzhen, too, was somewhat taken aback as she observed Xiao Xi Yue. As time slowly ticked away and most of the guests had arrived, Lu Changsheng saw that the auspicious time had come. He stood up with Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge, raised his cup, and declared, "I am honored by everyone’s presence at the establishment ceremony of my Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family." "Today, I formally announce, the Lu Family of Blue Lake Mountain, is established!" Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and spoke out loud. "Congratulations, Lu Mountain Lord! As Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family, we celebrate Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family’s establishment, wishing prosperity, and that one day it will rise to be a Golden Core Family renowned throughout the Southern Wilderness!" "As Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family, we congratulate Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family..." "As Small Ji Mountain Ji Family, we congratulate Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family..." "As Wugong Ridge Zheng Family, we congratulate Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family...." "..." All the attending guests and family powers raised their cups in congratulations to Lu Changsheng upon hearing his announcement. At that moment, suddenly, a system notification rang out. [Congratulations, host, the total number of your progeny has reached a hundred, a cultivation family is established, the ’Family’ function is unlocked, and you receive the unique treasure ’Lu Family Genealogy’] "Hmm, the Family function, Lu Family Genealogy?" Lu Changsheng heard this system notification and was momentarily taken aback. He hadn’t expected that aside from opening a system panel before, now that he had established his family and held a ceremony, he would unlock a ’Family’ function and obtain a ’Lu Family Genealogy.’ He didn’t look into these details and kept his expression unchanged as he drained the cup in one gulp. "My fellow Daoists, I, Lu Changsheng, hereby pledge that Blue Lake Mountain will adhere to an independent and peaceful foreign policy, and will always follow the path of peaceful development!" "We of Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family are willing to join all major families and powers in creating a mutually beneficial and commonly prosperous future!" Lu Changsheng continued to speak. This establishment ceremony was not only a family founding ritual, but also a means to express his family’s stance to outsiders, seeking sufficient partners for cooperation. "We of Qingzhu Mountain wish to have an intimate relationship with Blue Lake Mountain and create a wonderful future together!" "We of Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family wish to form an everlasting alliance with Blue Lake Mountain!" "We of Wugong Ridge Zheng Family wish to form an everlasting alliance with Blue Lake Mountain!" "Our family feels the same..." Hearing this, the family powers one after another expressed their position.
