Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 487: Chapter 218: Creating an Intense Competitive Family! The Whole World Honors the Great Ancestor of Love! Mortal King Body! The First Immortal Weapon is Born_2

The rules Han Li had previously established were that once someone made it onto either of these two cultivation lists, they would enjoy every kind of benefit from the Han Mansion, with each nurturing scheme being more significant than the last.

These two cultivation lists were not competitive; meeting certain criteria, such as aptitude and comprehension, was sufficient for selection, and there was no elimination.

This led to some descendants with excellent talents and understanding developing a tendency to slack off, wanting to be a lazy Second Gen Immortal, leaving their brothers and sisters to strive in cultivation.

Han Li decided to reform both the core descendants’ cultivation list and the priority descendants’ list, adopting a bottom-elimination system, with the fixed annual expulsion of the bottom ten percent.

He believed that with this change, those descendants with outstanding talent and understanding would be spurred into action, working hard in cultivation and engaging in intense internal competition.

Without diligent cultivation, they would be eliminated within a year, subsequently losing their corresponding status, privileges, positions, and so on, with substantial reductions in resource supply and nurturing intensity, regardless of their mother’s high status within Han Li’s favor.

Old Ancestor Han wants to create an internally competitive family, not a family of indolents.

He desires a family where everyone shines like dragons, all pushing to excel, each producing a succession of powerful individuals, replenishing Han Li in return.

The alternative would be Han Li playing the lifelong nanny for the Han Mansion, supplying everything and worrying about all matters, which would be far too exhausting.

Now that the Han Mansion had crossed the early stages of development, it was time for its outstanding descendants to venture out, rise and shine.

Beyond the descendants on both major cultivation lists, Han Li also established a promotion system for other descendants, setting aside factors such as aptitude and comprehension, thus giving them the opportunity to enter the two major lists as well.

The first is the Combat Tower, comprising forty floors, corresponding to ten Big Realms, designed for the training and honing of the Han Mansion descendants, and Han Li created numerous leaderboards as well.

According to the new rules, any descendant who conquers the fourth floor of their respective Realm would automatically be placed on the priority cultivation list, demonstrating that they possess the basic ability to fight beyond their own level.

If they could surpass their current Realm by one level and conquer the second floor of the next, they would automatically enter the core cultivation list.

To prevent cheating, Han Li set rules, such as a ban on the use of single-use talismans and the regulation that the weapons used should not exceed two Big Realms above their own, among others.

Han Li knew that these were all parts of strength, but internal family selection and external experience were different. Many descendants could get a hold of over-leveled talismans and weapons, which would lead to too many passing, rendering the lists meaningless.

When it comes to nurturing descendants, it is about special treatment, focusing on the outstanding ones, but also giving others a chance.

Secondly, Han Li planned to hold an annual martial competition and discussion of the Dao within the family; the top three from these contests would automatically join the core nurturing list each year, and the top ten would join the priority nurturing list.

This represents an opportunity. If those descendants can seize it, they could rise to prominence. Once heavily nurtured and if they avoid elimination at the end of each year, they could continue to grow and become the backbone of the Han Mansion in the future.

The third is about the external genius battles, martial contests, and Dao discussion gatherings. Those who place within the top three automatically become priority nurturing descendants of the Han Mansion, and the one who claims the first place would become a core nurturing descendant.

For now, Han Li plans to implement these reforms, observe the effects, make continuous improvements if results are unsatisfactory, and reinforce areas that prove effective.

Soon, Han Li gathered some important figures in the main hall of Yundao Peak. They were either his beloved wives and concubines or capable descendants, and he announced this significant decision.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples!

Han Li’s words caused a huge stir in the hearts of these people. A small portion remained indifferent, as either they, or their descendants, practiced cultivation diligently.

The majority looked up at their husband/father/grandfather seated high on the throne, opened their mouths, but didn’t know what to say.

Han Li held profound and stern authority on Chengsheng Mountain; no one ever dared to refute his decisions, and this time was no different.

“You all may spare the unnecessary words; this decision is for your own good. The Han Mansion’s resources cannot sustain unlimited provision to everyone.”

“If you wish to reap without sowing, then kindly step down and leave the resources and benefits to others, allowing them to take your place and continue contributing to the Han Mansion.”

Han Li’s voice echoed in Yundao Hall, resounding and thunderous, prompting a solemn expression from everyone present, all nodding in agreement.

They had witnessed themselves or seen brothers, sisters, or descendants grow lazy, lax in their cultivation, and often indulgent. This was indeed not beneficial.

They knew well that the Old Ancestor’s decisions would not be altered; their only duty was to execute them.

Capturing the expressions of everyone in the hall, Han Li showed a look of satisfaction and continued, “Today I’ve assembled you here for another matter.”

“Our Han Mansion’s Direct Lineage population is too sparse; continue to encourage fertility. Yong Jin, Yonglin, Yong Kang… You three, work out a new standard, and then submit it for my review.”

“You must also lead by example, set a paradigm for your own progeny, expanding our lineage and proliferating our descendants.”

“….…”

That day, Han Li’s decision spread throughout the entirety of Chengsheng Mountain. The Guest Elders and protectors of the Han Mansion were merely bystanders to the excitement, as this matter did not concern them and they maintained a separate system.

The Han Mansion descendants, however, were thoroughly shaken. Judging from this series of changes, the Old Ancestor was dissatisfied with their recent attitudes towards cultivation, imposing this method to coerce them into change. Without adjustment, they faced elimination.
