First steps

This was something they had discussed before themselves and agreed. The idea of giving some special benefits would allow them to get more manuals. Even if in the future they will hand down control of the settlement. It will be more stable even if there is politics involved. Some amount of treachery at the very least is to be expected. They would maintain the power balance as long as the Violet Sky remained at the top strength.

"Understood. Now then, go to sleep," said Tian's long avatar as he waved his hand and the violet sky clan disappeared. He then dissolved.

Similar scenes passed with the other's families and sects where they placed their settlement requirements to join and the avatar sending them to sleep.

Tian long then awakened the people of the rest of the families with the highest spiritual roots. He repeated the process of imparting knowledge to them. Tian Long allowed time for them to discuss how their families would function. He then provided them with points and took them to the massive pagoda to select their techniques.

It made little sense to allow them to choose their settlement first. If they wanted to join a settlement, they would need to know if they could afford it. After all, every settlement required manuals as an admission fee. It was impractical to do otherwise.

An unknown amount of time passed as the families choose their manuals. Meanwhile, Tian Long continued to observe the beautiful planet. He could see as the planet condensed ticker and richer Qi. How the demon beasts formed their demon core and increased their realm.

Once the families finished choosing. Tian Long took them outside with him. There, they were told the requirements to join each settlement. Tian Long told them they had the liberty to establish their own if they wished. Most families settled on their own; Others thought a settlement would be better for them in the long run. Therefore, choose to settle on a settlement.

The representatives also could ask if a certain person was in a certain faction. Tian Long told them the earthly last names of each settlement,

Certain factions asked for an exorbitant price for the benefits they provided. They demanded a cut of at least fifty percent of the techniques with no real visible benefits. However, there were a few popular options, and the Violet Sky settlement was one of the popular ones. Even less well-off families in manuals had at least teens of manuals at the sky grade and hundreds at the earth grade. Also, they had a chance to become one of the great clans. This was an enticing offer.

The families ended up deciding where they would live. The bigger settlements were in order: the Ancient dragon, the Blue phoenix, the heavenly Alchemist sect, the divine sword sect, and the Violet Sky.

Tian Long returned the representatives of families to the white cube. He awoke every human above the age of eight. He imparted the same knowledge he had given before. Younger saplings would need to be taught by their progenitors or family.

He then spoke in the minds of every human. "I have a few last gifts to give you before you all embark on your journey to immortality. I'll reverse your time to fifteen years old if you're above fifteen years old but below forty. For those older, I will reverse your time to thirty years old. This will allow you to regain some of the talent lost to time. But make no mistake. The decrease of the spiritual root grade caused by age and not cultivating will remain."

Tian Long waved his hand and millions of runes flew from his sleeve, attaching to the body of every human rejuvenating them.

"The next gift will be based on the number of inhabitants and spiritual root talent. I will provide spirit mines to the leaders of each great family and sect. as you already know. Spirit mines can produce different grades of spirit stone depending on the concentration of Qi. The lowest is white, then red, yellow, blue, green, orange, violet, and black. However, the last four are scarce to the extreme and would be useless to you for the foreseeable future. It's your job to place them." continued Tian long as once more several dots of light-colored white, red, yellow, and green flowed to the leaders and entered their bodies.

Tian Long continued. "As for the next gift, I will provide each family and sect a library with the manuals you have selected. Books will be separated by their grade. Its equipped with protective formations to prevent stealing and limit access based on parameters given by the leaders. It also possesses a talent and comprehension detector artifact." once again, Tian Long waved his hand, and grey lights appeared in front of each representative.

"Finally… I will gift you time in a special space abundant with spiritual energy for three years. Before you return to the planet, you will need strength." Tian Long spoke as he once again waved his hand and all humans disappeared once more.

When Damian processed what had happened, He noticed family members and the other representatives of the family surrounding him. They soon realized they were inside the special space Tian Long had mentioned. The place was a clearing, surrounded by a forest on one side and by a river on the other. All looked towards James as he had received the library.

James's understanding of what they wanted said. "As I'm sure you are all aware of, by the knowledge imparted to you by Tian Long. Having a greater cultivation manual does not mean having a greater chance at cultivation. As if you don't have enough talent and comprehension. You won't be able to unfold the mysteries of the manual and use the cultivation technique to its maximum. Also, we don't have an unlimited amount of manuals. We will put the following restrictions. Low and middle spirit roots would access the earth grade manuals. High and supreme spiritual roots would access up to the third floor where the Sky grade manuals are. As for holy, and divine spiritual roots will access the heaven grade manuals. But don't feel disgruntled as we possess the Violet Sky bloodline. With that, how can our talent be mediocre?" Said James to reassure the family. Once he finished speaking, he threw the gray light into an open space beside a small river. Soon the gray light expanded and transformed, leaving behind a four floor pagoda. it was almost a perfect imitation of the one they had visited earlier.
