Chapter 547: Chapter 300 “Another 40 Years” and “The Battle for the Heir” (Subscription Request)_2

After all, reaching the Golden Core Realm had completely surpassed the scope of planning for Liam Reed, the Energy Cultivation Cultivator.

If he were clever, he would clearly understand that he had been exposed.

“Have we found out who is behind Liam Reed?”

Milton Cheney asked softly, staring into the distance.

The identity isn’t clear yet; it seems to be a hidden organization of Cultivators.”

“But this organization isn’t the so-called Remnant Sword Sect. According to the investigations by the Dark Guards who first returned from the Heavenly Lake Island sea region, there is no Remnant Sword Sect within the Southern Sea Nation.”

“Of all the various sects within the Southern Sea Nation, not one is called the Remnant Sword Sect or has it as a precursor.”

Ryan Cheney spoke, his tone clear and precise.

Hearing this, contemplation crossed Milton Cheney’s face.

This so-called Remnant Sword Sect was indeed a bluff by Liam Reed, and even the name Liam Reed might be false.

But could it be that Liam Reed had given up on his plans just like that? Milton Cheney didn’t believe that was the case.

Something within the Heavenly Lake Island sea region must have attracted Liam Reed, or rather, the organization behind him.

His current departure might only be because Milton Cheney, the Golden Core True Immortal, was present.

“Continue the investigation; start building the second layer of the intelligence network as well.”

“From now on, the Family should not continue expanding. The Heavenly Lake Island sea region is already the limit of what our Family can control.”

“In the next twenty years, the Family should focus on developing the Mystic Realm and mining the Spiritual Veins.”

“As for the dormant Cultivator Families, just subtly erode their influence.”

After some thought, Milton Cheney then said.

He needed to prepare for his departure.

Compared to the entire Cultivation Realm, Heavenly Lake Island might be minuscule, but for the Cheney Family, it was immense.

The development of Heavenly Lake Island wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

“Yes, Family Head.”

Ryan Cheney responded respectfully, then bowed and excused himself.

Milton Cheney didn’t pay attention to the departing Ryan Cheney, but instead summoned his Spiritual Power.

Sky-obscuring flames began to manifest around him.

The flames transformed into giant hands, striking at the earth above the Spiritual Vein.

A new Cave Mansion was slowly forged by Milton Cheney.

At this moment, Milton Cheney didn’t need to deal with the trivial matters of the Family.

Within the Heavenly Lake Island sea region controlled by the Cheney Family, apart from the decisive major issues that required his input, the rest could be handled by the people of the Family themselves.

What Milton Cheney had to do now was to continue his Cultivation.

Although the Golden Core was powerful, it wasn’t much for Milton Cheney.

After all, this world wasn’t his first, and he had wielded even greater powers before.

After completing his Cave Mansion, Milton Cheney’s figure flitted into it.

As he began to cultivate, vast Spiritual Power, as if unable to wait, eagerly merged into his Golden Core.

……

Time, like fine sand, never ceases to flow, and before one knows it, another forty years have passed.

On Heavenly Lake Island.

Now, compared to forty years ago, the island had undergone massive changes.

Heavenly Lake Island had become far more prosperous than before.

The reason, of course, was that this was the main island of the Myriad Lakes Cheney Family.

Forty years had passed, and the entirety of Heavenly Lake Island had thoroughly fallen under the Cheney Family’s control.

That was the consensus among all the Cultivators of Heavenly Lake Island.

Sometimes, influence exerted subtly can have a much greater impact than that which is forcibly applied.

Those Cultivator Families that had once laid low had gradually become small subsidiary clans under the Cheney Family’s control.

Families that had intermarried with the Cheney Family naturally held a higher status.

And those with no relation to the Cheney Family were ranked even lower.

One could say that, in a subtle, unnoticeable way, the entire Heavenly Lake Island sea region had truly fallen into the Cheney Family’s control.

The remnants of the other families that had opposed the Cheney Family in the past had nearly been completely swept clean.

Even if Milton Cheney were to leave the Heavenly Lake Island sea region now, the Cheney Family would still be able to stand tall there.

After all, other families in the entire sea region no longer had the potential to unite and make a move against the Cheney Family.

The newborns on Heavenly Lake Island in these years, from the moment of their birth, knew that the Cheney Family were the rulers of the sea region.

And as for the Cultivation war that took place forty years ago, high- or low-ranking Cultivators alike had come to deeply avoid speaking of it.

It could be said that if another hundred years were to pass, the entire sea region of Myriad Lakes Island might no longer remember that the Cheney Family was once just a minor clan.

Myriad Lakes Island, Fighting Techniques Platform.

The Fighting Techniques Platform is one of the Cheney Family’s properties, constructed specifically for cultivators to engage in spell battles.

At this time, the platform was not open to other cultivators, as it had naturally been requisitioned by the Cheney Family.

However, at this very moment, the spectator seats above the Fighting Techniques Platform were even busier than usual.

Countless cultivators were excitedly discussing the imminent battle for the fourth heir of the Cheney Family Head.

“It’s the Cheney Family heir’s spell battle once every ten years. I wonder who will be so lucky this time.”

“This time, I reckon those who’ve been hiding will have to come out, especially since there are only three spots left.”

“That’s right, the Cheney Family needs to elect six heirs this generation, and now only three spots are remaining. I guess no one will continue to hide their abilities.”

“This might be the most exciting generation yet. I heard that the Myriad Lakes Immortal of the Cheney Family will preside over this grand event in person this time.”

“Really? Where did you hear that from?”

“My cousin is a concubine of one of the Cheney’s big shots, she told me. Otherwise, I would have been too lazy to come.”

“……”

The noise filled the entire area below the Fighting Techniques Platform.

At this moment, a group of Energy Cultivation Cultivators, who could be considered Immortal Beings in the eyes of Ordinary People, each had their faces flushed with animated discussion.

Cultivators are human too, and as long as they are human, they can’t stay away from the excitement of watching the bustle.

And what’s more, for the battle for the Cheney Family heir, outsiders could come and watch if they purchased tickets with Spiritual Stones.

This was actually a method for the Cheney Family to brandish its fangs to outsiders.

Suddenly, the clamorous voices fell silent for a moment.

A young man wearing a light blue short robe, embroidered with two waves on the chest, walked in from the entrance of the Fighting Techniques Platform.

The young man had a cold expression on his face and stood still in an open space after he walked in.

The surrounding noise did not seem to affect him at all.

After the appearance of the young man, the noise in the Fighting Techniques Platform subsided.

“Two waves… that’s a Cheney direct descent cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“The first one to arrive is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, eh? Compared to ten years ago, the threshold for the Cheney Family heir battle seems to be much higher this time.”

“Have you witnessed the heir battle from ten years ago?”

“Of course, let me tell you…”

Time gradually began to pass.

One after another, young cultivators of the Cheney Family dressed in light blue short robes entered the Fighting Techniques Platform from the entrance.

Undoubtedly, the embroideries on the chests of most of these young cultivators were mostly two waves.

There were only three with one wave, while the other seven all had two waves.

The audience above the Fighting Techniques Platform was so shocked they were almost speechless.

This time, it seemed a bit too exaggerated.

So many of the younger generation of the Cheney Family had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was simply too unbelievable.

One must know that in the past of Myriad Lakes Island, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could have started a medium-sized Cultivation Family.

The Cheney Family must have controlled the method for refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

So many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and that’s only the younger generation.

How strong the Cheney Family must be.

No wonder they can control the thousands of islands of Myriad Lakes Island.

This is absolutely on par with those large-scale Cultivation Sects.

One point of common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm is that families cannot compare with Sects.

But now it seems this is not necessarily the case.

“Silence!!”

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from several towers at the very top of the Fighting Techniques Platform.

At the same time, an immense spiritual pressure emerged.

Under this pressure, all cultivators instinctively ceased their chatter, and the scene became incomparably silent in an instant.

A figure flew out from the Tower.

“That is, the Second Elder of the Cheney Clan!”

“A Great Cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment!”
