Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 80 - 75: 300 Years! The 4th Era Concludes!
Returning to Truth Sect and War God Society were both annihilated by Lu Qingfeng.
The area where the Returning to Truth Sect was located, Yellow Ganoderma Mountain, and the headquarters of the War God Society at Fujiang Cliff were left unclaimed.
Green Jade Sect, the city of Guang Yuan, and many other forces in Upper Valley County feared the ruthless methods of the 'Black-clothed Man' and dared not reach out, resulting in the two locations remaining vacant.
Lu Qingfeng decided to establish the sect gate at Fujiang Cliff.
Firstly, because it's near the Crying Swamp, the geographic location is more advantageous than Yellow Ganoderma Mountain and it's convenient for the Spider Puppets to transport materials.
Secondly, the name of Fujiang Cliff is quite good.
Thus, a sect was founded here.
Names like Brother Gang and Peak Rain Sect were not fit for display, so Lu Qingfeng named it after the 'Qing Yuan Sword Sect', a cultivation group from the mountains of Fufeng. It's not flashy, but at least not unpleasant to hear. Moreover, the Basic Skills of Qing Yuan Sword Sect are at the Refined Level with the "Qing Yuan Sword Technique", which is quite fitting in name.
And so, Qing Yuan Sword Sect was established at Fujiang Cliff.
Lu Qingfeng, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Qingyu became the Founding Masters, known as the 'Three Qings Ancestor Masters'. The name sounds similar to the Three Pure Ones from the Primordial era, but in reality, it's worlds apart.
With Qing Yuan Sword Sect established, congratulations came from all directions.
Not to mention the illustrious reputation of the Lu siblings for first exterminating Returning to Truth Sect and then crushing War God Society, the elixir pills and talismanic tools circulated during the bounty on the War God Society's experts were enough to make the noble families and great sects of Upper Sun Country proactively curry favor.
Lu Qingfeng, following his experiences from Fufeng Mountain, finalized the framework of Qing Yuan Sword Sect and then handed over the management duties to Lu Qingshan, washing his hands of it.
Lu Qingshan had long desired to establish a faction and be revered and feared by thousands. Now with the establishment of Qing Yuan Sword Sect and as one of the Three Ancestors, he instantly became a top figure in Upper Sun Country, finally fulfilling his ambition.
He threw himself wholeheartedly into Qing Yuan Sword Sect, determined to forge it into the top Great Sect in Upper Sun Country.
Lu Qingyu was initially excited, busying herself with Lu Qingshan. But her enthusiasm lasted only three days, and she quickly lost interest.
Qing Yuan Sword Sect was thus left for Lu Qingshan to manage alone.
Time flew by.
In the Red Smoke Realm of the Primordial era, one year, ten years, a hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years passed.
In reality, more than two years have also swiftly gone by.
...
Fujiang Cliff.
Three years later, War God Society has become a thing of the past, replaced by the rapidly rising Qing Yuan Sword Sect.
Qing Yuan Sword Sect was established two years and five months ago.
At the outset, it attracted people from all directions, and powerful individuals gathered.
Unfortunately, the strong and domineering Black-clothed Man of Qing Yuan Sword Sect was not short of experts. They didn't take much interest in the notorious high-level fighters of the martial world whose backgrounds were unknown and who were of poor character. They preferred to nurture disciples from scratch, prioritizing the disciples' morality first and their innate potentials and Root Bone nowadays.
Despite not focusing on Root Bone talents, in just a little over two years, Qing Yuan Sword Sect had recruited 2,372 disciples.
This caused a stir throughout Upper Sun Country.
Murmurs of dissent criticizing the three inexperienced children for managing the household and acting recklessly were incessant.
Lu Qingshan didn't care.
He followed his elder brother's advice, rapidly expanding Qing Yuan Sword Sect.

With more than two thousand disciples to feed and manage, the tasks were incredibly trivial. Lu Qingshan was extremely busy but took great pleasure in his work. Although there were bumps along the way, no major mistakes were made.
At Fujiang Cliff, every day from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., over two thousand disciples practiced their morning cultivation routines, the sight of which was quite impressive over the mountainside.
After that, there was an array of sundry tasks: fetching water, chopping wood, hoeing fields, raising livestock, etc., used to hone the disciples' minds.
The five thousand acres of farmland surrounding Fujiang Cliff were all managed by these disciples.
Medicine Gardens, Beast Gardens, mines were also established with disciples assigned to oversee them.
Compared to Returning to Truth Sect, Qing Yuan Sword Sect was more humane. The sect provided all rationing for the disciples, which was a significant burden. Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng's alchemy and Artifact Refining brought in substantial wealth, enough to support the sect. Coupled with the successive yields from the Medicine Gardens, Beast Gardens, mines, and farmlands, they gradually helped subsidize a portion of Qing Yuan Sword Sect's operational expenses.
Qing Yuan Sword Sect continued to prosper, and a number of talented disciples emerged, gaining some fame within Upper Sun Country.
Roaming chivalrously and justly, his fame was distinguished!
This day.
Lu Qingfeng called over Lu Qingshan, with Qingyu by their side.
"Big Brother."
After over two years of trials, Lu Qingshan had grown into a dashing youth of eighteen. More mature and stable, the once naive and somewhat gloomy temperament had gradually faded, leaving little trace.
Entering big brother's artifact refining cave, Lu Qingshan immediately saw three statues over two meters tall standing in the center of the cave.
Upon closer inspection.
The statues were of two men and one woman. The one in the middle had their hands clasped behind their back, wearing a green Daoist robe. Even though the face was young, it displayed a demeanor befitting that of an immortal and a sage.
The statues on either side, each wielding a sharp sword, had the air of a sword immortal from the secular world.
The appearance of the statues bore a striking resemblance to the three siblings!
"Big Brother, these are—?" Lu Qingshan blinked, unsure what his brother intended by showing him the three statues.
Lu Qingfeng pointed at the statues and said, "These are the Ancestor Master Statues I have refined for the Qingyuan Sword Sect. They will be placed in the Ancestor Master Hall, and all disciples are to offer worship before the morning lesson every day, with incense and offerings not to be missed a single day."
"This—"
Lu Qingshan was taken aback.
He was only eighteen, and although in name he was the Ancestor Master of Qingyuan Sword Sect, he was only a few years older than those disciples. It felt somewhat odd to have the disciples worship their statues.
"Imparting knowledge, accepting disciples, resolving doubts, and establishing the Qingyuan Sword Sect to ensure these disciples are not mired in mediocrity."
"It's bearable."
Lu Qingfeng saw Qingshan's hesitation and explained briefly before adding, "These Three Venerables' statues have great use, give the orders."
"Alright."
Lu Qingshan merely felt a bit awkward, but since his big brother had commanded it, it must be with reason. He immediately agreed and went out to find people to move the statues.
"Wow."
"I'm so young, yet I've become an Ancestor Master, and even have statues erected; it's so strange!"
Lu Qingyu clicked her tongue in wonder, laughing carelessly by the side.
Time is like a knife.
The dark, skinny little girl from Black Wood Village had now grown into a beautiful maiden of sixteen, around the age that Lu Qingfeng first took them when they just escaped the Returning to Truth Sect.
In a blink of more than four years, the changes were so great that one couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Qingfeng habitually went to ruffle Qingyu's hair but suddenly stopped.
Having traveled here from another world, inheriting past wisdom, he had always been extremely indulgent toward his sister. An only child in his previous life, he longed for the 'head-pat kill,' and somehow, without knowing when, it became a habit in this life.
It was often unnoticed.
But now Qingyu stood tall and graceful, also portrayed as an Ancestor Master, and such intimacy seemed a bit inappropriate.
Lu Qingfeng smiled faintly, silently withdrawing his hand and placing it behind his back. Lu Qingyu blinked her eyes, not paying attention to this detail. Seeing her second brother going out to call people to move the Ancestor Master statues, she wanted to join the excitement.
"Big Brother, I'm going to have a look."
Before her words fell, she ran out like a sprite.
The sun comes out yi ya wei
The heavens and earth widen yi ya wei
At the foot of Qing Mountain the water curves
Twisting and turning for eighteen bends
The water of Jing River with fish swaying
Plump in winter yi ya wei
...
The light and lively singing voice came from outside the cave, drifting farther and farther away, while Lu Qingfeng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, the smile on his face growing more tender.
