Chapter 483 - 645 : Reaching Foundation Establishment completion

"Father, congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishment completion. You are only one step away from Golden Core!"

Jianyi Mingyuan cupped his fists.

Jianyi Chonghui froze for a moment, then echoed him.

"You are still quick-thinking." Wentian smiled and said, "But it is also because of the aura-concealing formation artifact. No one below Golden Core can see through it.

"Now that my Jianyi family has reached this point, there is no longer any need to hide everything.

"What do the two of you think? Is it still necessary to wear aura-concealing formation artifacts within the clan land?"

Jianyi Mingyuan and Jianyi Chonghui looked at each other. Jianyi Chonghui said, "Within the clan land, there is indeed no need now. But some disciples who go out to carry out special missions still need them.

"For example, certain members of the dark department, or core members the family values."

"This child also agrees with Chonghui's words. In addition, I would add one more thing. The foundation figures of my Jianyi clan should still wear aura-concealing formation artifacts, such as Father, certain members of the Ming generation and De generation, as well as the Family Head.

"As for the other elders, there is basically no need to conceal their realms anymore.

"Although doing this means the outside world can roughly guess that those concealing their realms must be higher than their current displayed realms, they will not know how much higher. That will make them wary."

"Second Great-Uncle's words are reasonable," Jianyi Chonghui said.

Wentian nodded. "That is fine. Chonghui, you arrange it."

"Yes, Great Elder."

"I called you here this time for another important matter. I am preparing to step down from the position of Family Great Elder and Immortal Martial Alliance Great Elder."

When the two heard this, their pupils suddenly shrank.

"Father, why?"

Wentian smiled and looked at him. "First, it is also to give the outside world a signal that I am preparing to enter seclusion and attack Golden Core. Second, it is also time to let you walk the Jianyi family's road.

"In the future, I only need to support you from behind.

"The Jianyi family's future ultimately belongs to the younger generation.

"If the younger generation rots, then the Jianyi family's path ahead will also dim.

"This requires giving the younger generation more opportunities to temper themselves, and from that, observing the strengths of certain people, either entrusting them with important responsibilities or marginalizing them.

"Once the number of family members becomes large, it will be impossible for everyone to be elites among elites like Mingwei and Mingyuan."

Jianyi Mingyuan and Jianyi Chonghui both seemed thoughtful.

"Therefore, the Jianyi family's Family Head changes very frequently. If this were another aristocratic family, even now, it would be completely reasonable for Mingwei to still hold the position.

"According to the current scale of our Jianyi family, comparable to a Golden Core aristocratic family, the Family Head should also be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"There is no need to protect family members too well. Those who hold high positions must look at the family's development from the overall situation."

"Chonghui understands. Many thanks for Great Elder's teaching!" Jianyi Chonghui bowed.

Wentian said, "As for the Great Elder position, Mingyuan, I plan to have you inherit all of them!"

"Me?!" Jianyi Mingyuan was extremely shocked and immediately waved his hand. "Eldest Brother is still here. Eldest Brother should be the one to hold the Great Elder position."

"Father once considered that too, but after repeated thought, and after considering the Jianyi family's current situation, I ultimately chose you. As for your eldest brother, I also have arrangements for him.

"The position of Great Elder bears many of the family's important decision-making powers. It is extremely important.

"Looking over all of you siblings, only you are suitable.

"Mingwei prefers battle. Mingxuan has ability too, but he prefers freedom and leisure. Mingshu's heart is focused on her spirit beasts. Mingxian has an indifferent nature and only cares about what she values. At present, studying formations is most suitable for her.

"In the future, Father also has other arrangements for her.

"As for Mingqing, he is the Jianyi family's inheritor of Alchemy Dao after me. He only needs to focus on Alchemy Dao and cultivation."

"Sigh!"

After hearing this, Jianyi Mingyuan sighed softly, looked into Wentian's eyes, and said, "Father, since you have said this much, what else can this child say?"

He immediately cupped his fists. "This child is willing to accept the Great Elder position and steer my Jianyi clan."

Wentian patted his shoulder. "You have always been the one Father has thought most highly of."

"Father, that trick of yours is outdated. You probably said that to each of us before, right?"

"Did I? I do not think so." Wentian laughed awkwardly twice, then shook his head and sighed. "You are not as easy to fool as when you were little."

The corners of Jianyi Chonghui's mouth twitched slightly. Was this still the great-grandfather he knew?

He actually had such a side too.

He wondered how great-grandfather taught grandfather and the others when he was young.

He was truly curious!

"There is one more matter."

Before his words finished, the storage ring in Wentian's hand lit up. A black banner full of ghost qi and eight Profound Yin Blood Corpses immediately flew out.

"From now on, these two items will be the hidden inheritance items of each generation's Family Head and Great Elder."

"You two choose one each."

Jianyi Mingyuan sighed inwardly again. It seemed Father truly planned to leave this place, just as he had left Dongxi in the past to seek the immortal path.

Moreover, he would most likely bring Mingxian as well.

He truly envied him a little!

"Chonghui, you choose first," Jianyi Mingyuan said.

"Then I will choose the soul banner."

Wentian nodded and said, "Close your eyes and concentrate. I will transmit the control and refinement methods to you. During this recent period, each day you must set aside time to come here until you fully control them."

The two obeyed.

Wentian placed two fingers between their brows, and a large amount of information was transmitted.

A moment later,

They opened their eyes.

Wentian said, "Both of these are vicious items. Unless absolutely necessary, they must not be used. Otherwise, they can easily corrode your mind.

"Of course, they are also merely a temporary measure of helplessness for my Jianyi family.

"In the future, I will find trump cards more suitable for my Jianyi family."

After this,

Jianyi Chonghui and Jianyi Mingyuan came here every night, refining the two items for four hours.

Until half a month later,

They finally fully controlled them.

"Right, how are the genealogy and clan annals?" Wentian asked.

Jianyi Chonghui replied, "They were completed long ago. I, Father, Grandfather, Second Great-Uncle, and the others have basically all read them, and there are no issues. I will go have Aunt Dejing bring them now."

After half the time it took to drink a cup of tea,

Jianyi Dejing arrived with the genealogy and the inner and outer sets of clan annals.

"Greetings, Great Elder!" Jianyi Dejing cupped her fists.

"Jing'er, you have taken the path of immortal cultivation."

"Yes, Great Elder."

The current Jianyi Dejing was at the late stage of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Now, she rarely appeared before outsiders. Even when she did, she wore a mask and did not let others know her identity.

This was decided by Jianyi Mingwei, Jianyi Mingyuan, and the others.

All Jianyi family members who suddenly switched from Martial Dao to Immortal Dao had to do this.

"Are you still adapting well?"

"It is fine. Immortal cultivation was also Wu Tao's lifelong wish. I want to see the scenery of Foundation Establishment above Qi Refining on his behalf."

"Forget it. Follow your own heart. My Jianyi family will not have too many rigid worldly rules. If you are willing to remarry, that is also possible."

"There is no need, Great Elder. Granddaughter's current days are very peaceful."

Wentian nodded, accepted the genealogy and clan annals, and flipped through them.

Jianyi Dejing said, "In the clan annals, regarding some of Great Elder's deeds, most were heard from Grandmother and Father. If there are any incorrect or unsuitable parts, please point them out."

"There is no need. This is enough."

The clan annals mainly recorded Wentian and Bai Jing, the second generation's Jianyi Mingwei and the other six, the third generation's Jianyi Dezhao, Jianyi Deling, and the others, including some battles the Jianyi family had experienced and major developments.

If the third and fourth generations produced figures of major significance to the family in the future, they could be added later.
