[Feedback: Strongest in this World but still weak compared to other cultivators in the void. Due to special reasons, he has an unknown physique that could turn him into a shooting star. However, it depends on whether he will be a shining star or just a blip in the river of time.]

There are many changes that have happened during the 29 years, including a few sword-related combat methods and two side professions that he chose.

Blade of the Void: Channels qi give the sword an ethereal edge, allowing it to cut through spiritual and physical barriers with ease.

Infinite Slash: A rapid series of sword strikes that overwhelm opponents with a relentless barrage, effective for creating openings in defense.

Shadowed Edge: Conceals the blade in the shadows, making the strikes difficult to predict and ideal for stealth attacks.

Sword’s Reach: Extends the range of sword attacks with qi, allowing for long-range strikes without direct contact.

Celestial Union (Master) (Special): A unique dual cultivation skill designed for intimate situations, allowing a profound spiritual connection between partners and enhancing mutual qi and cultivation levels.

Qi Control (A): Grants refined control over qi, allowing precise energy manipulation, conservation, and amplification as needed.

Enhanced Perception (A): Heightens the senses, providing awareness of subtle shifts in the environment and aiding in anticipating attacks.

Alchemy Mastery (B): Expertise in creating medicinal pills and elixirs that enhance cultivation, aid recovery, and improve strength.

Soul Resilience (B): Strengthens the soul’s defenses, providing resistance to spiritual attacks and mental interference.

Spiritual Detection (B): Allows the detection of qi signatures in the surroundings, making it easier to sense hidden enemies or distant sources of energy.

Then there is the new title of being the most powerful cultivator in the world, which he got from the World’s Will after he had occupied the individual ranking for all these years.

Once satisfied with his review, Xu Qianghua turned his attention to the overall growth of the Xu family.

The family as a whole has grown by leaps as the number of clansmen alone exceeds a million members; this includes the people who married into the family and children born in recent years.

Then there are the forces under the family that have grown without restrain and are able to be found or heard of in every corner of the planet.

First comes the Empyrean Trade Consortium under Liu Meiying’s direction. The Consortium expanded its reach considerably, originating in the Central Continent, but now operates branches across all continents, including the Southern Continent.

This was a feat in itself; the Southern Continent was under the strict rule of the Monster Race, where humans were typically not allowed.

However, Liu Meiying’s tactical negotiations, along with the help they received 29 years ago, had forged an agreement with the Monster Race, allowing Consortium representatives to trade rare items and spiritual treasures in specialized marketplaces.

This access had made the Consortium one of the most profitable and influential trade networks across Nexara, with steady revenue flowing from every corner of the world.

Through these branches, the Consortium maintained not only a strong economic presence but also a subtle influence in each continent. Whether it was artifacts, spiritual herbs, or cultivation resources, they controlled the market.

The Artifact Exchange within the Consortium became the go-to place for high-grade spiritual tools, while the Herbalist’s Market, which is a branch that is opened up under the Consortium, managed medicinal resources that were hard to find elsewhere.

This control over essential resources enriched the Xu family and made them a force that could not be moved, as without them, their livelihood would be in danger.

The Empyrean Harmony Sect has grown into a well-rounded sect known for offering training in all major cultivation paths, making it one of the most respected sects in Nexara.

Led by Bai Xueyan and Liu Anwei, it provides comprehensive training across swordsmanship, alchemy, array formation, beast taming, and other widely practiced cultivation paths. This variety allows disciples to develop in areas that best suit their strengths.

The sect’s approach has attracted a wide range of talented disciples, many of whom have gained fame in Nexara.

Some have gone on to establish their own sects, which often remain linked back to the Empyrean Harmony Sect as subordinate forces.

This network of connected sects has expanded its influence even further, creating a strong presence across Nexara.

By supporting multiple paths, the Empyrean Harmony Sect has become a respected place for versatile cultivators to train, and its reach and reputation continue to grow.

The Xuzhong Empire, under the command of Empress Huang Xinyi, had seen tremendous growth as well. Through strategic expansion, the Empire now occupied most of the Central Continent.

It had evolved from a collection of strongholds into a fully functional empire with towns, villages, and cities.

Main roads connected every major city within the Empire, facilitating trade, travel, and communication.

The expansion of infrastructure not only supported the Empire’s economy but also strengthened its defensive capabilities.

Towns were fortified, cities were strategically placed, and trade routes were closely monitored, making it nearly impossible for foreign forces to penetrate the Empire’s borders.

Empress Huang Xinyi’s governance ensured stability, with laws that maintained order and a military presence that kept threats at bay.

The Imperial Guard had also grown under her guidance, their numbers bolstered by skilled cultivators loyal to the Xu family.

Then there was the Shadows, led by Yan Yuehua. The Shadows were no longer just a covert intelligence group; they had evolved into a vast network of spies, informants, and covert operatives across Nexara.

Yan Yuehua had expanded the Shadows’ influence, embedding members within influential families, sects, and organizations.

This network allowed the Xu family to monitor the activities of both friends and potential threats.

The Shadows had become a silent but omnipresent force, gathering intelligence that kept the Xu family a step ahead in every matter.

The Shadow Serpents, which was created to be a front-line force, were doing their jobs as they took on missions that required them to kill.

Their missions took them deep into enemy territories or required them to deal with high-stakes situations, often involving infiltration, sabotage, or eliminating key figures.

The Shadow Serpents worked closely with the Shadows, forming an effective team that could respond swiftly to any threat against the Xu family.

Together, they ensured that no significant event in Nexara went unnoticed.

Then there is Lin Yue. As the Oracle Master, she continued her yearly divinations, and her foresight was a major helper during some of the family decisions during the years.

Her reputation had only grown over time, with cultivators and leaders outside the family looking for her.

Her prophecies not only warned the Xu family of upcoming threats but also highlighted opportunities for growth.

Her ability to foresee potential challenges allowed Xu Qianghua and others to get hold of a few future threats.

Finally, there is An Zhihao, the Divine Strategist. Her role in the family had expanded beyond strategy; she had become the mind behind nearly every significant military and political move.

An Zhihao’s understanding of the political landscape allowed her to craft strategies that made even the most difficult job into a simple one.

Then there is her cute appearance, which she takes full advantage of as she negotiates deals with some of the clients on behalf of either Liu Meiying or one of the Xu family elders.

So whether it was managing a battlefield or negotiating terms, her presence ensured that the Xu family remained not just powerful but respected and feared across Nexara.

Together, these forces represented the diverse power and influence of the Xu family.

With the Empyrean Trade Consortium’s reach in the Southern Continent, the Empyrean Harmony Sect’s renowned disciples, and the Xuzhong Empire’s expansion, they had achieved a level of dominance that few could challenge.

The Shadows and Shadow Serpents safeguarded them from threats, while Lin Yue’s divinations and An Zhihao’s strategies guided them through the ever-changing dynamics of the world.
