There’s nothing to worry about.

Fan City, with its millions of residents, all combined, their spiritual strength is not even one ten-thousandth of his.

To understand the Fan Family’s situation would be as easy as pie.

Then, he summarized briefly, "Fighting for territory? They dare to fight for my territory!"

He thought a bit, "If I were still ’alive’, I could just go to their house and slap each one of them to stop their nonsense. But now I’m dead. How can a dead person fake a resurrection... I need to find another way."

He doubled back to the northernmost part of Fan City, into the Fan Family residence.

The Fan Family home, its layout not too different from before, but now it’s bigger, more refined, with exquisite décor. It’s clear that the family has prospered, and their aesthetic sense has improved. He used to want to criticize, that the Fan Family, a bunch of Martial Artists, with few well-educated members, had a house that was crude and ugly.

He dove straight into the Council Hall.

At this moment, the Council Hall was filled with the elders of the family and some members of groups that had favorable relations with the Fan Family.

His father, Fan Qi, sat at the head, with a stern look. He looked considerably younger, which was related to his cultivation progress. Practicing both Immortal Dao and Martial Dao, he had actually surpassed the Peak of Integration, reaching the early Mahayana stage, and by the looks of it, Mahayana is just a matter of time to fully master. As for the Martial Dao, he had cultivated the body of a Martial God, achieving the status of a Martial God.

However, weariness was visible between his brows, showing that he had been laboring hard during this period.

In the center of the Council Hall hung a sandbox, condensed with atmosphere, detailed and exquisite, vividly displaying the current situation across Little South Continent. Local forces were shown in blue, and foreign forces in red.

Blue was weak while red was strong, evident at a glance.

This was normal. Little South Continent had potential, but it still needed time to develop. These external forces had thousands or even tens of thousands of years of heritage. Even a group coming to establish a branch could overwhelm the local forces.

Fan Qi waved his hand, slightly raising three red marks, placing them above the mark representing Fan City.

"Zhengyuan Hall, Xinghai Sword Sect, Shan Jue Sect, according to the celestial register’s classification, all belong to the immortal sects of the celestial rank. Though they are not the main forces in Little South Continent, they brought considerable resources to evade the celestial register’s resource conscription. Competing in heritage with them is absolutely not feasible."

The celestial register, one of the thirty-three Innate spiritual treasures, governed by the Confucian Wenxin Heaven, is used to record the forces beneath the heavens.

The celestial register classifies the forces beneath the heavens into four categories: Hundred Schools, Immortal Sects, Nations, and Noble Families.

Hundred Schools include Confucian, Taoist, Agricultural, Mohist, Yin-Yang, Strategist... these forces that have been passed down since the Hundred Schools of Thought Era. Hundred Schools are not ranked, all are of the same kind.

Immortal Sects are like the Eternal Immortal Sect. They are classified into four levels: Celestial, Spirit, Profound, and Mortal, with detailed distinctions between levels. Currently, the Eternal Immortal Sect is considered a Spirit level.

Nations, no need to elaborate, are ranked as Celestial, Emperor, King, and Common.

Noble Families are like the twelve families of the Everlasting Realm, also having four levels: Notable, Great, Family, Clan. Currently, the Fan Family is striving to progress from Family to Great.

As for the "resource conscription" Fan Qi mentioned.

It is the manpower and materials that each force needs to contribute to face the Fallen Immortal Land, as stipulated by the celestial register.

It’s roughly like an Immortal Cultivation Tax.

The higher the rank of the force, the higher the conscription rate. Thus, these forces came to Little South Continent to form branches to "evade taxes." Because Little South Continent was previously too remote to be recorded by the celestial register.
