Chapter 738: Multiplying

Sage didnt let himself get preoccupied with worries over diluting bloodlines. Even if a majority of his grandchildren were half-human, they were still quite formidable and the miasma didnt bother them. In fact, the most annoying thing was that his children had built their own homes outside of the border of the Purple Mist Sect. Out of worry, a team of Purple Mist Sect members were assigned to each of their families, but that was far less secure than the impenetrable defenses of the Sect proper.

In the interest of letting them retain their freedom he could only step back and let them do as they wished. Thankfully, his fears were unfounded as the reputation of the Purple Mist Sect was terrifying in the neighboring cities. Their mere presence was enough to deter all thoughts of wrongdoing.

Unfortunately, that indomitable reputation was not enduring. After decades of making no major moves and with the constant expansion of territory that was driven by the growing clan, they finally faced some resistance. Yahuis penchant for creating children finally became a weakness. Yahui was such a loose cannon that keeping track of all his offspring became difficult. Especially since he didnt pay enough attention to all of his victories, nor did he bother to report it to the clan. nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Before he realized what was going on, Sage had already become a great grandfather. With so many grandchildren to visit and arrange trainers and mentors for, the time on the Inner World seemed to fly by and those grandchildren were already starting relationships of their own. The treatment that Bingqings and Yujies husbands received was available to the whole clans prospective spouses, but most of them chose not to lose their humanity and the clan spread to an even wider area.

With time, he had so many great grandchildren he couldnt even remember all of their names. He also let Ling convince him to put into convention the one shed used when naming her own children. Most of the given names in this world consisted of two characters, and it was not an uncommon practice for clans to use a single character in every name for all the children of a given generation. Each of Lings children had a name that started Ya, which made it easier for a big clan to keep track of generational seniority. It was an important part of the culture to use the proper titles to denote ones elders. Along these lines, many clans even had generational poems. It was a poem that included all the generational characters in order, arranged into a poem so it was easy to remember. In fact it was usually undertaken in the opposite order, using a poem of significance to the clan and then using the words from it to name their children.

With how many descendants had already started to appear, he realized this practice would certainly be helpful for keeping track of what generation someone was in. Especially because of the long lifespan of a cultivator. It was easily possible for someones great grandfather to look far younger than themself if they had not focused much on cultivation or that great grandfather was extremely talented and advanced at a very young age. Sage thought about creating the poem himself, but he knew little to nothing about the art of poetry. With a language consisting of pictographic characters and many tonal speech, it was not just trying to convey ideas, but also layering multiple meanings into the characters along with making the sounds and tones of the words sound pleasing. To avoid making a mess of things, Sage just hired a scholar to come up with it. Ling and Jiao even turned it into an event, scouring through the many applicants to find a scholarly poet they both agreed with.

Why were there scholars? Well, when Sage started awarding knowledge to the inhabitants of this world for their accomplishments, he made sure to include not just combat techniques and cultivator professions but all the knowledge of the common world that he could get his hands on. Agricultural practices, mortal craftsman and artisanal skills, the mathematical and engineering knowledge that was common, and also the scholarly pursuits of studying literature and poetry. Hed purchased a large library of scrolls and had the Hoplites create and distribute copies to all the cities to disseminate to the public. He had no desire for the Inner World to degenerate into a primitive society after a few generations so he made sure to give them things to build a foundation upon. Also, only the largest city had been managed by the Tiankong Clan, the Prosperity Company, or his Hoplites over the now long history of the Inner World. Many unusual kingdoms had been created and destroyed over that time before reaching the state they were in now with three allied nations existing peacefully.
