Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Family.

"Boom!"

That day, above Qingzhu Valley, nature's spiritual energy began to surge, slowly forming a vortex of spiritual energy.

"Eh, what's happening?"

"The surge of spiritual energy, forming a vortex... Someone is attempting Foundation Establishment!"

"Foundation Establishment? Who in our family is attempting Foundation Establishment?"

"It must be because the Lu Family Ancestor previously rendered great service to the Qingyun Sect, exchanging for a Foundation Establishment Elixir or Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, allowing someone from our family to initiate Foundation Establishment!"

"I wonder if it's Uncle Miao Feng or Auntie Miaoge who is attempting Foundation Establishment."

"I read in the books, once the spiritual energy vortex forms, it signifies that the three challenges of Foundation Establishment have been passed, arriving at the most critical stage of Foundation Establishment!"

"The final moment... I wonder if they can succeed!"

"They must succeed. If so, our Lu Family will have two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!"

Upon seeing this spiritual energy vortex, many Lu Family disciples spoke out, buzzing with discussion.

Although the news about Lu Yuan Zhong's serious injuries had not been spread throughout the family,

there were still many who heard rumors, whispers about it.

They knew that their family ancestor had been severely injured while fighting the Xiahou Clan and didn't have much longer to live.

Now, seeing someone in the family attempting Foundation Establishment, they were naturally overjoyed and extremely excited.

After all, for the Lu Family, regardless of whether Lu Yuan Zhong was seriously injured, having one more Foundation Establishment Ancestor was an incredibly good thing.

Each additional Foundation Establishment Cultivator meant that the Lu Family's strength and foundation had risen to a new level.

"Yuanding, Miaoge, you two must secure the family."

Deep in Qingzhu Valley, Lu Yuan Zhong acted as the protector for Lu Miao Feng.

Seeing that Lu Miao Feng had reached the final step and was about to congeal his mana and lift the platform of the Dao, he transmitted his voice to Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaoge.

Qi Refinement impacting Foundation Establishment, the convergence of nature's spiritual energy, would inevitably cause some commotion.

Especially at the final moment.

Though the commotion was not significant,

it could be clearly perceived within Qingzhu Mountain.

But it was not guaranteed that it wouldn't invite dangerous trouble.

Not to mention, the cultivation families in the vicinity all planted spies and internal informants within each other to grasp and understand the situation and information about each other's family.

No one wanted to see a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator born in a neighboring family.

Hence, Foundation Establishment attempts were usually kept secretive.

Just like how the previous Lu Family Ancestor had secretly taken him away from Qingzhu Mountain to attempt Foundation Establishment elsewhere.

Only after the success of Foundation Establishment did he return to the family.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaoge responded with a nod.

Due to the war against the Xiahou Clan, the Lu Family had suffered great losses.

Thus, for Lu Miao Feng's Foundation Establishment this time, to avoid any accidents, Lu Miaoge had been stationed in Qingzhu Mountain.

...

Bi Lake Mountain, Yu Family.

"Ancestor, we have received word from our people that someone from the Lu Family is currently attempting Foundation Establishment. They have passed the three challenges of Foundation Establishment and have reached the critical moment,"

"As for who is attempting Foundation Establishment, it's not yet confirmed, but it's either Lu Miaoge or Lu Miao Feng."

The Patriarch of the Yu Family came to the back mountain of the family estate and reported this piece of information to their patriarch.

"Hmph, when Lu Yuan Zhong was poisoned by corpse toxin in Blackwater Pool, I had guessed that his life wouldn't last long, and he would need to prepare for the aftermath, allowing the Lu Family to birth a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator,"

"Previously, Young Master Bai, after exchanging for a Foundation Establishment Elixir at the Qingyun Sect, used up all the family's savings by relying on old favors to secure an opportunity to attempt Foundation Establishment within the Qingyun Sect, and he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment."

"If we allow the Lu Family to birth another new Foundation Establishment Cultivator, won't all our Yu Family's plans be in vain!?"

Yu Jinyang, clad in a blue brocade robe with youthful looks despite his white hair, his eyes sharp as lightning, snorted coldly.

"Ancestor, do you mean to directly attack Qingzhu Mountain?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Patriarch of the Yu Family tentatively inquired.

"Recently, the Qingyun Sect has forbidden conflicts among the major families. If we launch a full attack on Qingzhu Mountain, we might provoke the Qingyun Sect to intervene."

"Moreover, right now the Lu Family must be on high alert with their Great Formation fully operational, thus attacking Qingzhu Mountain wouldn't be easy."

"Furthermore, our Yu Family has a cooperation arrangement with the Lu Family, and it would seem rather unsightly for us to act this way."

Yu Jinyang declared.

"Ancestor, are we just going to let the Lu Family succeed in Foundation Establishment?"

The Patriarch of the Yu Family voiced out, somewhat unwilling to accept the situation.

He was very clear that his ancestor had great ambitions, aiming to swallow up the surrounding major families.

Currently, the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family was without a successor and their patriarch's life was fading, already infiltrated by their Yu Family.

It could be said that once the Zheng Family patriarch died, the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family would completely become a vassal to their Yu Family, an item in their bag.

The Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family and Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family also figured into their Yu Family's plans.

Initially, the lifespan of the Bai Family Ancestor was nearing its end, and as long as they outlasted him, Hundred Birds Lake was unlikely to escape the grasp of their Five Finger Mountain.

By then, only Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family would remain, naturally unable to face their Yu Family alone.

However, the Bai Family Ancestor also realized this fact.

Knowing his life was short and that it was very difficult for someone in the family with superior Spiritual Roots to attempt Foundation Establishment, they needed a Foundation Establishment Elixir!

Therefore, during the fight against the Xiahou Clan, he took the opportunity to risk his life.

He wished to gain strong merit before death to acquire a Foundation Establishment Elixir for his family.

Although the Bai Family Ancestor died in battle, he truly accumulated considerable merit.

Just a short while ago, relying on the merit of the Bai Family Ancestor, Young Master Bai went to the Qingyun Sect to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, then spent all the family's savings to get the chance to attempt Foundation Establishment within the Qingyun Sect, and he was successful.

With a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Yu Family naturally had to change their plans, focusing their breakthrough on Qingzhu Mountain's Lu Family.

They, the Yu Family, had participated in the war against the Xiahou Clan and knew that Lu Yuan Zhong had sustained foundational injuries in that battle.
