C18 Rest and Recover

Time passed. A few days later, the new Chu's Manor had been built. It was located at the peak of Green Cloud Mountain.

Green Cloud Mountain was the tallest mountain in the Phoenix Tree City. The spiritual energy on it was abundant and suitable for cultivation. More importantly, it was very close to the Sky Breaking Cliff. Chu Hao had taken this point into consideration when he suggested building a new Chu's Manor.

In the Sky Breaking Cliff. There was also an illusion realm in Sky Breaking Cliff. The cultivation there was much better than the outside world. It was impossible to give up such a blessed land.

Today, with the few elders leading their people into the new Chu's Manor, the Chu family would be reborn, completely breaking away from the corruption of the past.

Green Cloud Mountain towered into the clouds, and there were cliffs everywhere. There was only one path that could lead to the top of the mountain, and at this moment, it had been paved with limestone.

On both sides of the road, there were lush greenery. The living creatures were active, full of vitality and nature.

The road paved with limestone extended all the way to the peak. The end of the road could not be seen, because it was obscured by the clouds and was faintly visible.

Everyone began to climb upwards. It took about half a day before they reached the peak. Most of the time was spent on transporting goods.

When they reached the top, The outermost layer was a wall. The vermillion door was wide open, making it look extremely domineering. The entire group of palaces was made of white walls and green tiles. It was natural and simple.

The palace area was several thousand acres, and it was many times larger than the Chu's Manor. When he walked through the door, he saw a huge open space, which was paved with marble. Next to the open space was a weapon rack. It was obvious that this was a martial arts field, and if one looked inside, they would see the main hall.

The first impression that the main hall gave was that it was domineering. The stairs in front of the main hall were made of white jade. There were also two stone lions beside it, and they looked extremely dignified.

Chu Hao pushed open the main door of the main hall. Perhaps it was because he didn't put anything on display, but the sound of a huge collision echoed in the main hall, making it seem incomparably spacious.

The main hall was made of mahogany flooring, which was smooth and shiny. Twelve golden dragon pillars supported the entire structure of the main hall. Right above the main hall, there was a huge plaque with the word Chu written on it! The words were dignified and majestic, domineering and overflowing!

After that, Chu Hao went to the back of the main hall to take a look. There were pavilions, gardens, waterside pavilions, and the entire Chu family Manor. It could be said to be magnificent.

All the Chu families were filled with joy. This place. . . This manor was many times better than before. The three great families had invested a lot this time.

Chu Hao also nodded secretly. "The three families are still very trustworthy. They completed it on time, and the quality is still guaranteed!"

Entering the new manor, the Chu family started to get busy. The resources were transported into the treasury, and the martial skills were stored in the Compendium Pavilion. These two places were built by the Chu family itself, so there were no hidden dangers.

After that, the elders started to arrange accommodation. The direct relatives of the Chu family lived in the east courtyard, and the relatives of the Chu family lived in the west courtyard. The guards, maids, and servants lived in the south courtyard, while the slaves lived in the north courtyard.

The north courtyard was the entire manor, and it had the worst geographical location. It was located at the back of the manor, and the trees were scarce. There was only a bare piece of rock, which might be planned as a new beast breeding ground to feed the demon beasts.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Chu Hao naturally had his own courtyard as well, and it was located right next to the main hall. The location was very good, and there were independent pavilions and waterside pavilions in the courtyard, like this small manor.

In the pavilion, there were library and cultivation rooms. It was very convenient. Chu Hao was very satisfied, and the residences of the elders were not far from him. They were all small courtyards.

After arranging everything, everyone's lives returned to normal. Everything seemed incomparably calm, as if there wouldn't be any more disturbances.

Another three days passed. Someone in the city came to report that the change in position of patriarch between Ouyang family and Lee Family had been passed down to the younger generation of the family.

Chu Hao was secretly delighted. It must be Ouyang Hui and Lee Zhan who had successfully taken control of the two families. As for the details, he didn't want to know. All he wanted was the result.

This news caused the Chu family to become restless because they didn't have a patriarch yet. The patriarch was the pillar of the family, and everyone was recommending Chu Hao.

Chu Hao smiled and refused. He didn't have enough experience and didn't want to be cared for by the world, so he rejected everyone's suggestion.

Everyone thought about it and agreed. After all, Chu Hao was still young, and his cultivation base was above all the elders. Therefore, they didn't insist on it. They just wanted Chu Hao to be called an elder. This time, Chu Hao didn't reject the offer and gladly accepted it.

After that, everyone started to recommend the candidate of the patriarch. Elder Chu Xuan was originally unwilling to accept it, as everyone was looking forward to it. However, after the other five elders started to persuade him, he finally accepted it. They said that if there was a talent in the Chu family, the patriarch of the family would be removed from the position.

Just like that, the Chu family settled down completely. The other three families followed Chu Hao's conditions and withdrew their businesses that were in conflict with the Chu family.

For a moment, the status of the Chu family in the Phoenix Tree City had risen to the top. The people in the city were discussing amongst themselves, and no one knew what had happened.

At the same time, Chu Hao's status in the Chu family was completely above that of the patriarch and elders. He was just like the old ancestor of the Chu family, because everyone believed in him.

Chu Hao, on the other hand, did not care about the matters of his family. He focused on his cultivation every day, trying his best to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of the God Refining Realm. He wanted to take another step forward, but things did not go according to his wishes. His cultivation base was still at the same level. Chu Hao could not help but sigh. The later stage of the Unfettered Spell, the harder it was to break through.

The Chu family had gone through a great purge. The rest of the people were doing their duty. The Chu family was in harmony. All the families in the Phoenix Tree City were resting and recuperating.

. . .

"All of this seems calm, but at the same time, a storm is brewing in the City Lord's Mansion. It's impossible for the Chu family to dominate the entire City Lord's Mansion. They will definitely make a move!"

Today, Chu Xuan came to his courtyard and said with an anxious expression. Behind the City Lord's Mansion, there was the support of the sect. The Chu family might not be a match for him.

"Who is the backer of City Lord's Mansion?" Chu Hao asked.

"The Sword-carry Sect is an intermediate sect. They have a Genuine God Stage warrior guarding them. It's not something the Chu family can fight against. "

After Chu Hao heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Although the true gods in this world weren't as strong as the Genuine God Stage of the Unfettered Spell, they were still experts of the continent. As for him, he was only in the God Refining Realm, and there was a huge gap of two realms between them. It was impossible for him to fight them head on.

"Looks like I have to make a trip to the Phoenix Tree City. Otherwise, when the time comes, I will have nothing. " Chu Hao made up his mind.

"Who is the city lord?"

"Feng Lingkong, a Late Divine Soul Stage warrior, an inner circle disciple of Sword-carry Sect. "

"Alright, I should go and meet him. " Chu Hao said to himself, then looked at Chu Xuan and said.

"Elder Chu Xuan, don't worry. With me here, there won't be any problems with Chu family!"

Listening to Chu Hao's confident tone, Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Then, he said with a smile, "I am the patriarch now, not an elder!"

Chu Hao didn't expect Chu Xuan to be joking. He paused for a second and said with a smile, "Patriarch Chu Xuan! From now on, I will protect the Chu family! I will lead the Chu family and rise to greatness!"

Although his tone sounded like he was joking, it was Chu Hao's true thoughts. The Chu family was his foundation. When he broke through to the God Refining Stage and entered the Body Forging stage, he would teach his clansmen martial skills and use them for future expeditions!

Chu Xuan did not seem to take it to heart. After saying some more things, he left, while Chu Hao continued to cultivate.

Tomorrow, he would head to Phoenix Tree City to meet the city master, Feng Lingkong!
