Chapter 1064: Advancement to Seventh-Grade, Unexpected Envoy, Benefits_3
Later, the elder sister entered the Fu Family, but she left home and was never seen again. Nonetheless, they still have a deep impression of this elder sister:
“Third brother, the elder sister’s children have all returned. Why didn’t she come along?”
After Fu Yongshou was born with the [Ten Thousand Corpses Spirit Body], not only did his Puppet Manipulation Skill improve greatly, but even his cultivation speed became much faster. Although Fu Yongqing, his twin, also has a talent for Corpse Puppets, comparing the two, an insurmountable gap formed between them. Nowadays, Fu Yongshou can control a Tier Three Corpse Puppet, while Fu Yongqing can barely drive a Tier Two Corpse Puppet.
Fortunately.
He has a simple mind.
Fu Yongshou’s promotion makes him even more delighted than Fu Yongshou himself.
This often makes the wife who also hails from the Yum Family and is married into the Fu Family grumble, especially since she vaguely heard rumors that back then, her husband and her elder sister, who is now the third sister-in-law, had mutual affection.
She ended up with nothing, not even face.
Naturally, she felt unsatisfied.
But she can only endure, without an outburst.
On the treasure wheel.
The young boy behind the Seventh Prince looked down at Fu Changsheng below and said crisply:
“Grandfather, is that my maternal grandfather?”
The boy’s eyes were full of curiosity.
He couldn’t help but want to perform Sword Control to descend, but was stopped by the Seventh Prince who laughed and whispered:
“Don’t rush, let me deliver the decree first. Then I’ll let you go recognize your kin.”
Saying this.
A flick of the treasure wheel.
Golden light surrounded them, and three people slowly descended from the sky, landing on the red carpet laid by the Fu Family.
At the altar in front of the Noble Family Archway, offerings of Spirit Deer, Spiritual Crane, and Spirit Fish, along with grains, fruits, and other items were all prepared, clearly having been anticipated long ago.
At this moment, Master Wang behind the Seventh Prince hurriedly stepped forward half a step and said:
“Luofeng Mountain Fu Family, step forward to receive the decree!”
As soon as these words were spoken.
The Seventh Prince swung his sleeve, and with a buzz, a majestic aura of the sovereign rushed forth, and the Holy Decree slowly unfolded. Upon its appearance, it was as if Emperor Zhou had personally arrived.
Fu Changsheng quickly lifted his robe and stepped forward to pay respects:
“With Our Emperor above, Fu Changsheng, the twenty-third generation Patriarch of Luofeng Mountain, leads the clan to receive the decree!”
Saying this.
All the people behind him knelt down en masse.
The Seventh Prince proclaimed aloud:
“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor commands: I, having received the divine mandate, govern all realms, master the secrets of Qiankun, and command the order of immortals and mortals. The way of governing the nation lies in selecting the wise and capable to secure and stabilize the country; the path of cultivation relies on orderly inheritance to protect all beings. Now there is the Fu Clan, who since their ancestors have upheld the righteous path, diligently cultivating without fail, assisting the Court, eliminating demons, and achieving numerous commendable feats. Their virtues and actions are exemplary models for the world. Hereby I issue this decree, enfeoffing the Fu Clan as a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, granting them a Seventh-Grade Spirit Title, to be inherited for eternity, enjoying everlasting glory. Among their descendants, those with outstanding talent may be recommended to the Academy or Celestial Secret Pavilion… to serve the nation. Their family Spirit Vein shall receive Court protection, reducing four-tenths of the tribute as a sign of favor. The Fu Clan must remember the emperor’s grace, continue to uphold the heart of the righteous path, assist the Court, protect all beings, and set a standard for cultivators across the land. Should anyone defy the Heavenly Dao or corrupt the family style, I shall strike them down with Celestial Thunder as a warning. So it is decreed!”
“Thank our Emperor for His holy grace, may our Emperor live as long as the heavens!”
The crowd behind Fu Changsheng simultaneously recited in unison, their voices resonating straight to the skies, startling a nearby flying hawk to flap its wings and abruptly turn away.
As everyone acknowledged.
The Holy Decree in the Seventh Prince’s hand buzzed, lightly trembled, and then transformed into seven large golden runes, gleaming with golden brilliance. With the appearance of these runes, the Noble Family Jade Seal within Fu Changsheng seemed to respond, buzzing as it soared into the sky, suspended in mid-air.
Upon seeing this.
The Seventh Prince pinched a Daoist Technique with his right hand, directing it toward the Noble Family Jade Seal.
Buzz!
The seven golden runes swiftly whooshed into the Jade Seal, instantly altering it, turning the previously accumulated Noble Family Fortune into yellow.
The Noble Family Jade Seal turned into a stream of light, re-entering Fu Changsheng’s Dantian. At that moment, he felt he could now bestow destiny upon twenty people through the Jade Seal’s power, much more than before.
Fu Changsheng restrained his excitement, stepped forward a few steps, and said:
“Your Highness Commandery Prince, you have traveled far, we have prepared a simple banquet specifically to welcome and refresh Your Highness, please.”
“Let’s forego the welcoming banquet, I have other matters to attend to.”
Saying this.
The Seventh Prince gestured for Fu Changsheng to lead the way ahead.
Besides the enfeoffment document and empowering the Jade Seal, there were other matters regarding the elevation to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family to discuss.
They moved to the Council Hall.
Fu Changsheng stood within the hall.
The Seventh Prince pointed to a position below and said:
“Changsheng, we are family, there are no outsiders here, no need to be so restrained, have a seat.”
Despite these words.
Proper etiquette must still be observed.
Fu Changsheng cupped his hands in respect and sat at the left lower seat, wondering how despite the Seventh Prince’s radiant appearance, this person would eventually meet their demise.
After taking a seat.
The Seventh Prince wasted no time and directly said:
“Changsheng, upon the elevation to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, the greatest benefit is being granted a prefecture. The Court recently established a new state in the Land of the Far West named Wuzhou, where there are still several new prefectures available for selection. Do you have the desire to develop in the Far West?”
Saying this.
With a flick of the sleeve.
A map scroll slowly unfurled.
Immediately.
Wuzhou’s topography appeared, with various prefectures marked on it.
Fu Changsheng glanced over and indeed saw Huizhou Prefecture:
“In response to Your Highness Commandery Prince, our Fu Family is too far from Wuzhou. Although some in our clan have ascended to the Purple Mansion, we still cannot manage two states at once, so I wish to choose a location closer to Jingzhou.”
