Under the scorching sun, in such a large square, there were cries of agony from the descendants of the family and the sound of execution.

After each one was beaten, they would be immediately dragged away and thrown into the dungeon.

Chen Daoxuan sat on a chair, his gaze icy as he watched everything.

This punishment lasted for five hours!

"I know that there are evildoers within the family."

"If you confess voluntarily and compensate the victims, we can handle it again."

Chen Daoxuan stood up slowly, said coldly, and then turned and left.

Just one sentence.

Like a sword hanging over the necks of those descendants.

"Did you all hear what I said?"

Chen Qingyang had already begun to possess the demeanor of a family head, second only to Chen Daoxuan in the entire family. "If anyone dares to offend again, the punishment will be a hundredfold!"

For a moment.

Inside the Chen family ancestral hall.

Countless descendants of the family knelt down and confessed their wrongdoings, without any concealment.

Chen Qingyang began to handle the matter.

From top to bottom, the entire Chen family underwent a transformation, and no one dared to commit evil anymore.

Of course.

Chen Daoxuan knew in his heart.

This punishment of the family members would only be effective for a period of time. After all, cultivators had long lifespans. Just reaching the Body Refining stage could live for over a hundred years, and Qi Refining stage cultivators could live for several hundred years.

After a few years or even decades.

The deterrent effect of today's events would likely dissipate into nothingness.

Evil would still breed in secret.

And Chen Daoxuan needed to have descendants to improve his own strength. As the number of descendants increased and the family grew stronger, there would inevitably be many places he couldn't see.

Chen Daoxuan gave the order.

Chen Qingyang selected descendants within the family to establish a Punishment Hall. Each member had to undergo strict screening and pass the recently purchased Spirit of the Heart to be qualified, and their identities were kept completely confidential.

They would secretly observe whether the descendants of the family had committed any evil deeds.

Of course, to prevent the Punishment Hall from having too much power and everyone living in fear, the Punishment Hall only had the authority to supervise and not to punish. The ultimate power was concentrated in the hands of Chen Daoxuan and Chen Qingyang.

They were only responsible for summarizing the information.

And they were only responsible for observing whether the descendants had committed any evil deeds. They had no authority to manage their daily affairs, and Chen Daoxuan clearly rewarded and punished.

If they didn't do well, they would be punished.

But if they did well, Chen Daoxuan would give corresponding rewards, such as spiritual stones, elixirs, weapons, and cultivation techniques.

Detailed reward criteria were also established.

Every once in a while, people would be personally selected to enter Cloud Mountain County and receive core training within the family, as long as they were qualified, they would be sent to the Mysterious Passage Sect.

Chen Daoxuan was still searching for a piece of land above the spiritual stone veins in Cloud Mountain County. Using a divine-grade spiritual stone, he had a senior from the Mysterious Passage Sect set up a huge formation that could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy within the formation became extremely dense.

Only the descendants who performed well and made contributions within the family could come here to cultivate.

It could be considered a virtuous cycle.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Chen Daoxuan sat in the courtyard. In this half year, a few more juniors had been added to the family.

Unfortunately, none of them had spiritual roots. However, Chen Daoxuan was not in a hurry. The probability of being born with spiritual roots was extremely low, and he himself had a long lifespan, so there was no rush.

"Family head, this is an invitation letter."

Chen Daoxuan was chatting with two beautiful concubines when Lin Heng hurriedly walked in with an invitation letter.

"Oh?"

Chen Daoxuan took the invitation letter and examined it carefully.

Surprisingly, it was from an Independent Cultivator.

Independent Cultivators would gather every once in a while, and this had become a tradition. However, this was the first time Chen Daoxuan had received an invitation letter.

Since Chen Daoxuan had nothing else to do, he went directly.

Outside Cloud Mountain County, a large number of Independent Cultivators gathered on an open space. When they saw Chen Daoxuan and his group, they all stood up and greeted them.

"Senior!"

"Senior!"

The way they addressed Chen Daoxuan quietly changed from "Fellow Daoist" to "senior".

Although Chen Daoxuan was not considered old among the Independent Cultivators, he was only in the middle ranks. However, in this world, strength was what mattered.

Chen Daoxuan controlled a large family and was rumored to have a deep relationship with the Empress of the Dynasty.

How could they not show respect?

Upon closer inspection, Chen Daoxuan discovered that the number of Independent Cultivators had actually doubled or even tripled. Many of them were unfamiliar faces, and there were many female cultivators among them, all of them beautiful and shy, looking at Chen Daoxuan from a distance and giggling.

"Senior, this is my daughter, who just came of age."

"Senior, my granddaughter has always admired you."

Only then did Chen Daoxuan understand.

This group of Independent Cultivators had invited him in order to take him as their concubine.

From their attire and accents, Chen Daoxuan could tell that these people were from the surrounding countries. They knew about Chen Daoxuan and had come directly to gather together and invite him.

It made sense when he thought about it.

In recent years, Chen Daoxuan had been crazily taking concubines, both beautiful women and female cultivators. He had already taken in almost all of them.

After all, there weren't many naturally beautiful people among ordinary people, and Chen Daoxuan had already taken enough concubines. He would only take female cultivators as concubines.

The probability of encountering a female cultivator was extremely low.

Only one in tens of thousands of people would be a cultivator, and they had to be female and have a suitable appearance. The probability was even lower.

Of course, there was one possibility.

This person might have spiritual roots for cultivation, but they had never realized it from birth to death.

There was no way.

The population in this world was too large. Even the ancient sects didn't have the power to test everyone's spiritual roots.

Of course.

If the quality of the spiritual roots was high, even without deliberate cultivation, they would automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and have a completely different appearance from ordinary people. They would be quickly discovered by cultivators.

Because Chen Daoxuan had discovered the existence of demonic cultivators, a large number of them had been wiped out, and the remaining demonic cultivators were trembling underground and dared not show themselves. This brought about a long-lost peace.

Many Independent Cultivators came with their daughters in order to join the Chen family.

When night fell, Chen Daoxuan bid farewell and left, leaving everyone reluctant to part. When Chen Daoxuan left, he took with him a large number of tokens of affection.

As a result, the Chen family became lively once again!

People were already accustomed to Chen Daoxuan taking concubines, but this was still a prosperous era for Cloud Mountain, bustling and envied by countless people.

For ordinary people, finding an ordinary beautiful woman was already a great fortune.

If they could spend a night with a fairy, they would be willing to die!

And in Chen Daoxuan's mansion, there were many fairies, which was truly enviable!

Many people even changed their mindset of favoring sons over daughters. If they could give birth to a beautiful daughter who could also cultivate, their family would be extremely wealthy in the future.

If it was a daughter, she could even give birth to a child with spiritual roots for Chen Daoxuan.

Then the family would receive even more rewards.

Another four years passed.

The number of Chen Daoxuan's descendants had already exceeded fifty thousand!

When the population reached a certain number, the number of descendants would exponentially explode!

The cultivation rewards from the system had already exceeded twenty-five thousand years!

However, Chen Daoxuan did not rush to break through to the Gold Core stage.

Because there were some other rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully reproducing offspring!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 4000 years of cultivation!]

[Activate options]

[The host can directly break through to the Gold Core stage!]

[The host can choose to convert cultivation into alchemy or formations.]

[Ten years of cultivation can be converted into one year of alchemy or formation cultivation!]
