I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

"Speaking of which, the Moonflower Palace can be considered a reclusive family, but unfortunately, they all became cannon fodder!" Lin Yu sighed.

"I don't think the Moonflower Palace is that powerful!" Tang Doudou said with a smile.

"The Palace Master of Moonflower Palace has already ascended to immortality, isn't that impressive?"

"A reclusive family must have at least tens of thousands of members, or even more!"

"Having so many people is useless; a single cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage can wipe them all out. The reason they are reclusive families is threefold: first, almost everyone in the family has a high cultivation level; second, they are intertwined through marriage, forming a complex web of interests where everyone shares the same fate; and third, they occupy the most spiritually abundant areas and control a large amount of resources," Lin Yu explained.

No wonder Dongfang Xu looks like he's in his forties, but he's already reached the Mahayana stage.

It should be noted that even among geniuses in sects, the fastest to reach the Mahayana stage is over eighty years old.

If we put it that way, wouldn't it be very easy to cultivate into a god?

"If these hidden families are so powerful, why haven't any of them ascended to immortality?" Tang Doudou asked疑惑地问道.

"How do you know if they've ascended to immortality?" Lin Yu countered.

"Wasn't it said that only one person in this world has ascended to heaven?"

"Ordinary people wouldn't know about the affairs of reclusive families. However, there are far more than one person who has ascended to immortality in this world. Many powerful beings cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage and then enter seclusion to cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even if they ascend, it's not certain that anyone will remember them."

When you reach the Tribulation Transcending stage of cultivation, all the people you know leave one by one; it's quite pitiful, really.

"We'll be there soon!" Lin Yu said, looking ahead.

"How do you know the way to the reclusive family?" Tang Doudou asked Lin Yu curiously.

"Many years ago, the Lin family was also one of the reclusive families!" Lin Yu sighed and said.

Tang Doudou then understood.

Soon, Lin Yu stopped at a certain place and then channeled his spiritual power into it. As the spiritual power was channeled in, the place that had been covered by the formation revealed its original appearance.

Before Tang Doudou could take a closer look, she heard Lin Yu say, "Let's go!"

Once inside the barrier, the two discovered that it was a completely different world.

This place is like an imperial city.

The city walls soar into the clouds, like an invisible barrier, guarding a thousand years of history. The buildings within the imperial city are magnificent, the palaces imposing and grand. The vermilion pillars and golden glazed tiles gleam in the sunlight.

The two entered without attracting the attention of others.

The two walked down the street, and not far away stood a tall mansion with the words "Dongfang Mansion" written on it.

Tang Doudou stood at the entrance and felt that this plaque was even more imposing than the sect's mountain gate!

Dozens of guards stood at the entrance, but they did not make a sound when the two approached.

“We’ve come to find Dongfang Xu,” Tang Doudou said, stepping forward.

Unfortunately, those people still didn't move. Tang Doudou wanted to go forward again, but was stopped.

It seems that entering the Eastern Prefecture is not easy!

Tang Doudou quickly rummaged through her storage ring and finally found a jade pendant with an Eastern symbol. "See this? This was given to me by Dongfang Xu. I'm here to find Dongfang Xu!"

The man glanced at it, then took out a communication stone. "Someone wants to see the young master."

Tang Doudou and Lin Yu waited for a moment before seeing Dongfang Xu walk out of the door.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Dongfang Xu nodded and walked towards the two of them.

"The Dongfang family is quite impressive!" Tang Doudou said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to find this place," Dongfang Xu said with a smile, then gestured for them to enter.

Once the two entered the mansion, Tang Doudou was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth. This! This was clearly on Treasure Mountain!

This Eastern Prefecture was built on a spirit stone mine!

Even the road itself is covered with sparkling spirit stones!

Wow, they're incredibly wealthy! Definitely a powerful ally!

"My God, I feel like I'm breathing in spiritual energy here!" Tang Doudou exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise why would so many geniuses be willing to join reclusive families and serve us?"

Tang Doudou was stunned for a moment, then realized why those people at the door were so powerful, yet still treated Dongfang Xu with utmost respect!

If I could get close to Dongfang Xu, I'd be willing to let her fawn over me every day.

"By the way, what do you need me for?"

Tang Doudou, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little short of breath. Would he really care about the things in this system?
