Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 847: Defeat In Shadowfell Prefecture
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
Time flowed onward, day by day.
[Year 680]
[Your descendant Li Yuanwu has advanced to the Golden Core realm (Heavenly Core).
He has reached Small Success in the Martial Dao.
Through observing and reflecting on the actions of countless Demon Beasts, he has devised a Yellow-Grade martial art known as the "Hundred Beast Method."
Acquired Profession: Grandmaster of Martial Dao
(Martial Dao comprehension boosted by 10%, Combat Power enhanced by 30%).]
"Impressive."
Li Wei, seldom lifting his gaze from cultivation, let out a sigh of praise.
No one should underestimate it merely for being 'Yellow Grade.'
"Martial Arts" were usually skills meant for mortals; having a grade at all marked it as exceptional.
To push martial arts to such a level marked him as a rare anomaly in this realm.
[Your descendant Li Zhiheng has progressed to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.]
[Your descendant Li Yunlin's spirit object, the Skyveil Hall, has undergone a breakthrough following the absorption of plentiful spiritual materials supplied by the family powers.
Acquired Primordial Spirit Technique: Spirit Severance.
The Skyveil Hall shifts into a lengthy halberd; one swing cleaves apart both body and Primordial Spirit.]
[Your descendant Li Tianyi has roamed freely in search of ancient divine souls from elders across Azure Cloud Prefecture.
His Spirit Rhyme Talisman has advanced to the "Talisman of the Eighteen Profound Seals," attaining the rank of a Top-Grade Dharma Treasure.]
[Li Tianyue has waged war in Duskwild Prefecture over numerous years.
Honored by Crown Prince Fei Heng, she has risen to a Second-Rank Official and been named the Dynasty's "Blood-Robed Great General," leading an army of 200,000.
Gained spiritual power infusion matching the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation realm; acquired the Mid-Grade Dharma Treasure "Four Symbols Blood Cloak"; gained the Primordial Spirit Technique "Spirit Summoning"...]
Tranquil times had settled in.
The Li clan held Azure Cloud Prefecture securely and stayed out of Crown Prince Fei Heng's matters.
With the Zhao Clan wiped out in Azure Cloud Prefecture, none dared to eye this rich territory.
The relentless winds and snows of Azure Cloud Prefecture began to subside.
Ordinary folk increased in numbers and flourished, while the Li family kept expanding its might.
[Your Family Population: 358]
[Family Branches (14): Immortal Martial, Demon Suppression, Merchant, Silver Moon, Hundred Treasures...]
Within a mere decade, the family had grown from twelve branches to fourteen.
After all, the offspring needed to form their own households and pursuits.
Though the bulk of branch lines stayed inside Azure Cloud Prefecture's borders, certain young ones hid their origins and set off to forge their futures, resolute in blazing their own trails across the world.
The Merit Grotto-Heaven brimmed more and more with immortal energy.
Meanwhile, the family controlled additional Grotto-Heavens.
It seemed wasteful to abandon the old Immortal Domain Grotto-Heaven, so it became the "Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven."
Moreover, the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands seized from purged great families in Duravia Trade Prefecture got divided up among Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Certain family branches now owned their personal Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.
[Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven: Overseen by Li Yunlin.
The Immortal Martial branch trains there.
Learners from every major branch can practice inside the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven...]
Within the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven lay training areas aplenty, plus array formations for practice and hidden rooms for seclusion.
Given that Immortal Martial branch members were all "cultivation recluses," when disciples from main branches hit snags in training or puzzled over a technique, they could head to the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven for advice.
[Merchant Grotto-Heaven: Base for the Light Division of the Hall of Heavenly Principle, and hub for yearly allowances to family disciples.]
Li Xinnian at last could ease up.
All family enterprises had passed to the Merchant branch.
On the flip side, the Merchant Grotto-Heaven buzzed with tasks each year, all while shipping back huge loads of Spirit Stones and valuables to the family.
[Demon Suppression Grotto-Heaven: Site of Northern Border City, managed by Li Xinghuo.
Family disciples and Azure Cloud Prefecture cultivators can journey to the Demon Suppression Grotto-Heaven to fight the Demon Race with Li Xinghuo and take on demon-hunting quests for tempering.
Generates plentiful Demon Race resources and Demon Beasts yearly.]
[Silver Moon Grotto-Heaven: Situated at the northern Endless Forest's edge against the Azure Dynasty, amid endless peaks. Managed by Li Xinjue.
Family disciples and Azure Cloud Prefecture learners can venture there for trials and resource gathering. Yields abundant mineral resources annually.]
Observing Li Xinnian handling family duties from the Merit Grotto-Heaven, Li Wei felt a surge of sentiment.
Guided by this [Destined Villain], the family advanced on a smarter, swifter course; indeed, transformations unfolded daily.
Yet, as the family strengthened, Li Wei spotted some troubling intelligence.
[Special Event — Defeat in Shadowfell Prefecture]
[The Wu Race builds unstoppable force. With the Fourth Prince tied up in Duskwild Prefecture, the Wu Race often claims the upper hand, seizing eighty percent of Shadowfell Prefecture's lands.
Your descendant, Li Kuanghua, now directs Buddhist and Demonic Dao followers in withdrawal.]
Right then, aboard a spirit boat, Li Kuanghua—in a yellow skirt, appearing small and charming—positioned herself at the rear.
Her teeth clenched as she stared back at Shadowfell Prefecture's domains, now held by the Wu Race.
Wu Race troops appeared boundless, roaring in victory.
Li Wei lingered next to Li Kuanghua too. This sight echoed the Azure Cloud Region's fall from years back, but dwarfed it in scope.
He squinted faintly. "Breached, huh? Just as foreseen, across the whole Azure Dynasty, solely my Li family holds the line."
....
Reminder for the Wu Tribe progress in Volume 4:
Year 510 - The event "[Special Event—Shadowfell Prefecture in Crisis]" set that the Wu Tribe invaded from the southwest and took half (50%) of Shadowfell Prefecture.
Year 686 - the Wu Tribe has now claimed eighty percent (80%).
