The rise of a family, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Tree

After careful consideration, the He family of Yunzhong finally made a major decision: to shrink the family's existing sphere of influence and shift its focus to cultivating talents in various arts and crafts within the family.

These talents encompass a wide range of fields, including but not limited to highly skilled alchemists, ingenious weapon-casters, masterful talisman-drawing artists, unfathomable array masters, and miraculous physicians.

In this way, not only can the family's internal strength and foundation be further enhanced, but new sources of income can also be opened up, thereby powerfully promoting the vigorous development of the entire family.

It should be noted that times have changed, and the Tai Xuan Prefecture is no longer under the jurisdiction of the He family, but is now directly under the control of the Zhao State.

Faced with this dramatic change in the situation, the He family had no choice but to reluctantly relinquish control of the Tai Xuan Mansion. Under these circumstances, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure became the top priorities.

Meanwhile, in order to ensure the continuation of the family's past power, consolidate its prestigious position in the social hierarchy, and achieve the grand goal of the family's renewed prosperity, the family's leadership resolutely made an important decision—to send and even actively encourage family members to join the official organizations of the Zhao state.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to get things done if you have connections in the court." Given the current political climate in Zhao, if the He family lacks members holding important positions in the government of Tai Xuan Prefecture or even the entire Yunzhou region, they are very likely to be looked down upon by other families with official backgrounds.

In this way, not only will the family's reputation be affected, but its future development speed will also be difficult to compare with those families with connections in officialdom.

The Supreme Elder He Yiqiu, Clan Chief He Zhongshi, Zhang Yunyu, Han Susu, Yu Qingyue, and Lu Liuli chose to stay and stay in the clan.

Among them, the Supreme Elder He Yiqiu resolutely decided to stay and guard the family. It turned out that in the previous thrilling battle, he did not hesitate to use secret techniques to fight against powerful enemies, but this move cost him a huge price - his blood and qi were almost exhausted, and the flame of his life was as fragile as a candle in the wind, and he probably did not have much time left.

Therefore, this highly respected elder knew that he was no longer able to participate in the conflicts of the outside world, and could only dedicate his last years to his family and protect the land that had given him birth.

In contrast, Zhang Yunyu appeared rather indifferent. She had long been weary of the trials and tribulations of the martial world and no longer harbored any desire to venture out into the world.

Now, all I want to do is stay quietly in the family and focus on my cultivation, improving my own abilities while also taking care of my lovely great-grandchildren and enjoying the joys of family life.

Clan Chief He Zhongshi bears the heavy responsibility of the entire clan. He must stay at home, oversee the clan's daily operations, and coordinate various complex affairs. As the head of the clan, his responsibilities are immense, leaving him no time to pursue personal adventures and glory.

Han Susu and Yu Qingyue, both from the four sects, also chose to stay in their families. Perhaps they lacked the ambition to conquer the world, preferring to cultivate quietly in familiar surroundings, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, and pursuing inner peace and tranquility.

Finally, there's Lu Liuli, whose identity is unique—she's a half-demon. She's also recently become a mother, with two young children who require careful care. Out of deep maternal love for her children, she willingly stays within the family, tenderly nurturing and accompanying them as they grow.

Among them, He Beixi, He Beifeng, Jiang Zhixue, He Beifang, He Xuanya, and He Yuanjun all harbored lofty ambitions and intended to join the Zhao army in order to obtain an official position, serve the country, and achieve great fame and success.

Now, let's talk about He Beixi. He had lofty aspirations and great ambitions, and he was determined to join the Black Armor Legion, one of the four most famous main battle legions of the Zhao Kingdom. This legion was renowned throughout the world for its bravery, skill in battle, and superior equipment. If he could become a member, he would surely achieve numerous military exploits on the battlefield and make a name for himself.

However, the others—He Beifeng, Jiang Zhixue, He Beifang, He Xuanya, and He Yuanjun—had other plans. They unanimously decided to join the Yunzhou Standing Legion. Although this legion was not as renowned as the Black Armor Legion, it was still a formidable force within the Zhao army, possessing considerable strength.

Looking at He Beichen and He Yuanhuan, they did not choose the path of joining the army, but instead set their sights on Zhulu Academy.

It turns out that the two of them went to teach at Zhulu Academy for two reasons. First, they hoped to find better opportunities to help them break through to a higher level of martial arts. Second, their personalities were not suitable for official or military careers.

Furthermore, going out to gain experience is also extremely important for them; finally, there is a person named Lin Nuoyi in the Zhulu Academy, who has a close and intimate relationship with He Beichen.

As for Ho Pak-cang, Ho Pak-hang, Ho Pak-chi, Ho Pak-pi, Ho Yuen-che, and Ho Yuen-fu, they are all ambitious, aspiring, and quite daring individuals.

The current operating mechanism of the Zhao state is exactly what they want, which makes it possible for them to hold important positions in the Yunzhou government, wield great power, and realize their grand ambitions.

Undoubtedly, other members of the family also made their own different choices in life. Some of them bravely left home to venture out into the world.

Some joined the officialdom, seeking a position through their talents; others resolutely joined the army, hoping to bring glory to their ancestors and secure a good future for their families through military achievements; while many more chose to stay within the clan and cultivate themselves to improve their strength and cultivation.

However, regardless of the choices these clansmen make, the He clan of Yunzhong has always been making unremitting efforts and actively seeking change in order to better adapt to the series of reforms being implemented by the State of Zhao and to achieve the long-cherished goal of prosperity for the entire family.

It's important to understand that within the vast territory of the Zhao state, families and factions like the He family of Yunzhong, who meticulously planned and deployed their members in this way, were far from few. After all, faced with the comprehensive reforms sweeping through Zhao from top to bottom, everyone knew that only by adapting to the times could they find a way to survive and thrive.

Moreover, everyone understood very well that if they could successfully join the official organization of the Zhao state, they would not only be able to wield a certain amount of power, but more importantly, they would also be able to acquire a large amount of valuable resources.

That said, the family successfully exchanged ten Dao Foundation Treasures, which can be described as priceless treasures, with the Zhao royal family. After careful consideration, they finally decided to distribute all ten treasures among the members of the First, Second, and Third Sects.

There are several reasons for this allocation. First, the First, Second, and Third Sects have a large number of Martial Realm experts, but unfortunately, these brave and fearless warriors suffered heavy casualties in a recent fierce battle.

Secondly, while the four sects possessed a considerable number of True Person Realm experts, they demonstrated a far greater ability to earn spirit stones for participating in the auction of Foundation Establishment treasures and for searching for new ones. Based on these considerations, the four sects ultimately did not compete with the major, second, and third sects for these Foundation Establishment treasures.
