Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 665 - 594: Learning to Let Go_2

The rise of the Lu Family owes much to him.

However, as the Lu Family grew and expanded, various conflicts began to emerge one after another, and problems arose continuously.

Especially with the increase in the number of Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Lu Family, the appearance of over fifty such cultivators diluted his prestige.

He was away from home frequently, or in long retreats, greatly reducing his control over the Lu Family.

Many Divinity Transformation cultivators began to seize power.

The ancestor is a Divinity Transformation cultivator, and so am I. Shouldn't I also share some power?

It makes perfect sense.

Of course, he could suppress strongly and control the Lu Family forcefully, but such an approach would have numerous drawbacks.

It's like a child growing up and wanting independence, and if the parents continue to control the child, it will inevitably lead to worsening relationships with both the father and mother.

…

Recalling everything about the Lu Family, Lu Xuanji felt slightly lost.

Now, the Lu Family no longer needs him.

It's like a child growing up and no longer needing their parents.

Lu Xuanji said, "Do you think I should let go?"

Qinglian said, "Yes! Xuanji, you should let go. Once the child has grown up, the parents should let go, and once the family has expanded, it's time to let go. Holding on too long could make you enemies.

Moreover, even without us, the Lu Family will continue to develop and become stronger!"

Lu Xuanji worriedly said, "But what if a strong enemy invades, and those Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Lu Family can't withstand it, leading to the annihilation of the Lu Family; what if the Lu Family's rules become lax, and some clan elders abuse their power, causing corruption and decline; what if some internal matters within the Lu Family are mishandled, landing it in difficulties or even crises…"

He rambled on, expressing his inner unease and concern for the Lu Family.

Qinglian sighed, looking at her Dao Companion, and said, "Xuanji, your greatest strength is your reluctance to let go. You are unwilling to part with so much. In the past, when you obtained resources and treasures, your first thought wasn't about using these resources to enhance your own cultivation but to give them to Ye Wanyi, the Grand Elder, Jin Xi!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"When you have good things, you don't think of keeping them for yourself but for others."

"With this habit, although you have great aptitude, your cultivation speed has been much slower. Former maids Long Xuan and Ning Xue both stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, while you got stuck at the Golden Core Peak; I don't know what to say about you!"

"It's just that at a certain point, some things need to be let go, or you'll become enemies!"

"Now, with over fifty Divinity Transformation members in the Lu Family, its power is vast; wanting to eliminate the Lu Family would be very difficult. Besides, even if the Lu Family were destroyed, so what? The Lu Family has branches scattered across Yue Country, Wu Country, Chu Country, Jin Country, Qi Country, and other dozen countries; even if they faced annihilation, it wouldn't be a big issue."

"As for the various issues within the Lu Family and the different difficulties, we must trust in the younger generation to handle everything well!"

"Xuanji, it's time to let go!"

Lu Xuanji sighed and said, "Yes, it's time to let go! There are tens of millions of cultivators in the Lu Family, but I know fewer than ten; among those millions of cultivators, how many recognize me, this ancestor? Some things must be let go!"

Looking back at his life, he only had three Dao Companions and three concubines, showing little interest in romance.

Those slightly more frivolous, their Dao Companions and concubines easily number in the tens or even hundreds.

His number is small and very modest.

In the past, he worked hard for the revival of the Lu Family, sacrificed too much cultivation time for the Lu Family, but it was all worth it.

But now, it's time to let go, leaving a void in his heart, very lost.

…

Feeling his Dao Companion's loss, Qinglian stepped forward to hug him.

The two were intimately close, sensing each other and feeling the warmth of their bodies.

"You still have me!"

Qinglian stepped forward and said.

"Yes, I still have you, and there's Xi'er, Ning Xue, Long Xuan…" Lu Xuanji recounted painstakingly but missed a few people.

Qinglian stepping forward said, "If you feel lonely, I can introduce a few of my close friends to you. There is a female cultivator; her true form is the Eternal Night Flower. After transformation, she wears a black dress with a Third-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivation, titled Eternal Night Fairy, highly sought after in Chu Country.

And another female cultivator from the Celestial Spirit Sect, exuding a holy presence like a fairy, has a pair of Innate Divine Eyes and is known as Star-eye Fairy, with a First-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivation, suitable to be your Dao Companion;

And another female cultivator known as Qian Yu Fairy, not born of the Human Race but from the Angel Race, with a Second-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivation."

"As for some other female cultivators, some have poor aptitude and are merely beautiful vases, not suitable for you; others have only an appearance worth mentioning but poor cultivation, merely at the Nascent Soul level, unsuitable for you; and others have devious intentions, not suited for you. Even if some female cultivators are suitable in all aspects, they are unwilling to become concubines, and I won't force them!"

"After careful consideration, across Chu Country, Wu Country, Yue Country, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are over five hundred Divinity Transformation cultivators. Among them, 150 are female cultivators. Excluding over seventy who already have Dao Companions or are unsuitable, I've shortlisted them to three."

Lu Xuanji smirked and said, "Not in the mood!"

Qinglian laughed and said, "It's precisely because you're not in the mood that you care about these things."

Lu Xuanji said, "They too are Divinity Transformation cultivators, why would they be willing to become my concubines?"

Qinglian said, "What of the Divinity Transformation stage? In the eyes of lower-level cultivators, Divinity Transformation cultivators aren't much different; but in our view, the differences among Divinity Transformation cultivators are enormous—bigger than the difference between man and dog. Not to mention that in Chu Country, Wu Country, Yue Country, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are over five hundred Divinity Transformation cultivators; though they seem numerous."

"Yet most have exhausted their potential, hit bottlenecks, or lack insight, and many will remain stagnant."

"Only fewer than twenty cultivators can reach the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation stage. Fewer than five are qualified to attest the Dao and refine the void."

"Eternal Night, Star-eye, Qian Yu, etc., though renowned for their striking looks and extraordinary aptitude, are called fairies. But who isn't a fairy at the Divinity Transformation realm? With powerful cultivation, the physique is honed to perfection; how many remain lacking in beauty? Who isn't attractive?"

"The beauty they pride in is ordinary; not seeing through it would make one foolish."

"Eternal Night, Star-eye, and Qian Yu, these women, though Divinity Transformation cultivators with esteemed status, have less than a one percent chance of reaching Refining Void. But if they became your concubines, they'd have at least a thirty percent chance to attest the Dao and refine the void. They aren't as impressive as imagined."

"If we broaden the choices, we could increase the number slightly, to at least twenty. But on second thought, I chose quality over quantity!"

While speaking, Qinglian became more interested, saying, "Xuanji, if you're bored, I can take you to meet my three best friends. They are carefully chosen for you!"

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood for love and romance!"

Lu Xuanji shook his head and said, "I can't even think of words to please female cultivators. These matters aren't necessary."

Even the most forgiving woman wouldn't want her Dao Companion to be swayed by other female cultivators.

The reason Qinglian introduced these three fairies was more about diverting his attention.

Using the allure of beautiful women to distract from the loss of letting go of the Lu Family.

Qinglian said, "Xuanji, let's go for a walk!"

Lu Xuanji wanted to refuse, but Qinglian urged him on, "Come on, let's go!"

Together, they soared through the sky on a white cloud, flying to the distance.

The white clouds drifted, while the fields, villages, cultivated land, lakes, and mountains below rushed backward at high speed.

Standing above the clouds, looking down on all beings from above, they seemed like immortals.

Qinglian asked, "Xuanji, how long has it been since you've looked at the scenery outside?"

Lu Xuanji replied, "It's been such a long time, either I've been rushed coming and going on tasks, or absorbed in my training, there hasn't been time to enjoy the view outside."
