Chapter 1465 - 1201: Complacency (Part 2)
The main challenge is that there are very few people who have reached the Mahayana realm and are willing to give up cultivation to handle mundane affairs and shoulder the responsibility of family development.
After all, no one wants to give up the pursuit of the Great Tao and the chance for longevity just for a bit of power!
At least, no one in the Li family has emerged as such a person yet.
However, it’s not ideal to keep Li Xinde as the Clan Leader indefinitely, so to resolve this issue, the family decided after deliberation to offer the Clan Leader significant benefits.
Such as detailed breakthrough insights, some precious spiritual objects, and guidance from Li Zhirui, Jiang Fengwu, and others once a year.
These benefits have at least attracted some Mahayana family members who are inclined to take up the position of Clan Leader.
But the Elders and Stewards do not have such treatments. After all, the Clan Leader’s position is very important and, in some sense, represents the family’s image, so it requires family members with higher cultivation.
It’s also due to the few Individual Immortals in the Li family who are unwilling to involve themselves with karmic forces; otherwise, Individual Immortals should be the ones taking the role.
Elders and Stewards are the actual executors; they do influence the family’s image but not as significantly as the Clan Leader, so the cultivation requirement is not high, and many family members are willing to compete for these roles!
Speaking of which!
"Ancestor Rui, did that Water Devil breakthrough succeed?"
Li Xinde nervously asked, "Should we start preparing for a full-scale attack from the Sea Clan?"
