CHAPTER 1109: CHAPTER 343: MAY THE QI FAMILY THRIVE FOR MILLENNIA AND FLOURISH!

Chen Qiu had already parted ways with Jiang Buping and contacted the Barbarian Tribe Leader, preparing to head to other states in the Tidal Immortal Realm to attend a family clan banquet; this was his first time attending a family clan banquet of another clan.

The Barbarian Tribe Leader naturally had no reason to refuse, exuberantly saying, "We haven’t seen each other in ten years, this time we must talk all night!"

As for what Jiang Buping talked about.

He indeed had heard the same from the "Deceit Buddha." There wasn’t much difference in what both parties said—following rules and gaining the path was considered a shortcut, but this shortcut would constrain oneself in certain aspects.

In this world, there’s never a rule that’s always beneficial to oneself, even if a rule is currently advantageous, there will come a day when it constrains you in a certain aspect.

He had emerged from the Heavenly Prison, so he didn’t need to take this shortcut.

He had his own path to follow.

Since only in the "Tidal Immortal Realm" does breaking through to True Immortal require the cost of a True Immortal’s corpse, the situation becomes simpler. He doesn’t need to break through to True Immortal in the Tidal Immortal Realm; he can completely break through in a Sixth-grade Immortal Realm and pass the True Immortal Tribulation there.

Anyway...

His True Immortal Tribulation is likely a "Fourth-grade Heavenly Tribulation," which would struggle to materialize in even the Heaven and Earth Power of a Fifth-grade Immortal Realm.

After making a decision in his heart, he then thought about what to do next. After participating in this family clan banquet, he would elevate his cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Peak, and then he could head to a Sixth-grade Immortal Realm to prepare for the breakthrough.

However—

Outside Central State City, Chen Qiu raised his head to glance at the Tribulation Cloud that had unknowingly emerged above him, immediately darting towards the wilderness. This wasn’t his Tribulation Cloud; his Tribulation Cloud wouldn’t be this weak.

It was the heavenly tribulation of disciples from the Chao Tian Sect. The heavenly tribulations were shielded within the Taunting Heaven Palace, and once they appeared in the Tidal Immortal Realm, these heavenly tribulations all accumulated there. So many people undergoing heavenly tribulation at the same time caused quite a commotion. It can only be said that everyone should try to separate so the tribulations don’t merge, causing their power to double.

...

Tidal Immortal Realm, Qi State Jie City, was a place known by very few.

A place with little reputation within the Tidal Immortal Realm.

But today—

Many men with red flowers on their chests were beating drums in the streets, making the atmosphere lively. Today, an Immortal returned from Central State City to Qi State Jie City and established his family clan, the Qi Family!

For a moment, many on the streets cast envious looks.

For ordinary people, being able to establish their own family clan and become the Family Head is already the greatest achievement.

The Qi Family Patriarch, wearing a black robe with a red flower on his chest, who served as the small squad leader of the Guard Team in Central State City, was now walking through the streets with a beaming smile, continuously bowing and greeting the surrounding elders and fellow townsfolk.

Soon.

Accompanied by many elders and fellow townsfolk, the Qi Family Patriarch had arrived at the gate of an estate amidst the drumbeats; here was his chosen Qi Family Courtyard, and the plaque with "Qi Family" was already hanging.

It wasn’t rented; it was bought.

As a family clan, purchasing an impressive courtyard was a must; this alone cost him a lot of Spirit Stones.

At this moment inside the courtyard, banquet tables were already set up.

Many guests had already taken their seats, many of whom were from other family clans in the city. When a new family clan is established, other local family clans will definitely send representatives to support, firstly, to give face, and secondly, to assess the strength of this newly established family clan.

"I say, Family Head Qi?"

At this moment—

A middle-aged man came over with a forced smile: "It seems Family Head Qi hasn’t made many friends outside in these years—there are hardly any people here to support you; even those few who came aren’t distinguished, just local folks."

"After being outside for so many years, you would think at least you’d have a close friend, right?"

As his words fell.

The surrounding heads of other family clans also chuckled: "Look at Peng Family Master, yesterday they were just hosting a hundred-day banquet for their child, and the Chaozong Young Sect Master came to celebrate. Chaozong is one of the top powers in the entire Tidal Immortal Realm, its Sect Master is at late Heavenly Immortal cultivation, only one step away from Heavenly Immortal Peak."

"Exactly, having the Chaozong Young Sect Master, such a Heavenly Pride come to our Jie City is an honor for us."

For a moment, the praises for the Chaozong Young Sect Master never ceased, and Peng Family Master was also praised alongside.

This is how it was.

Nowadays, family clans must not resort to fighting and killing for development, openly and covertly showing off their connections is a way of throwing punches. Sitting among the crowd, the Chaozong Young Sect Master was expressionless as he slowly sipped from his teacup.

As the Chaozong Young Sect Master, he had his pride, and his identity was naturally the heaviest among this group; he was also accustomed to such praise.

Since last time in Central State City, when Chen Qiu embarrassed him, and if it weren’t for his good luck saving Chen Qiu a lot of Spirit Stones, the whole "Chaozong" might have been wiped out along with him. After returning, his father heard about this and shivered with him for a long time, only able to feel lucky that Chen Qiu spared them.

After that, he secretly decided never to go to Central State City again until Chen Qiu leaves this Continent.

During this period.

He pretended to be ostentatious in the nooks of the Tidal Immortal Realm, so he wouldn’t bump into Chen Qiu; after all, Chen Qiu certainly wouldn’t come to such a place.
