< core="">
A core belief is a central part of cultivation . It describes the motivation behind cultivation and what you believe in . While acting according to your core belief you can nurture it and have it grow .
Skills that align with your core belief are more efficient than others . You can use the power of your core belief to increase the effect of skills which are in tune with it .
Your current core belief "For the family" is a common one, that focuses on the family . There are generally three routes most people take, with many others available as well .
Route one:
The happiness of the family . Here the happiness of the family and its members stand in the foreground . It mostly focuses on supporting skills, that can help family members attain happiness .
Route two:
The glory of the family . This route focuses on the glory of the family . An important point to watch is what glory means, but generally, it can be described as the reputation the family has in the eyes of the others . This route focuses mainly on combat skills since a good way to increase the reputation of the family is to fight against strong monsters or cultivators .
Route three:
I"m the family and the family is me . This route is an egocentric one, where the focus is on oneself and the family is seen as an extension of oneself . Everything you and the family do is for you to enjoy .
Recommend route:
A mixture between route one and two is recommended since it can balance the two . Sometimes a little bit of route three is advisable as well since it can reduce the risk of being used by the family .

After that followed a lot more with more details, including some tips on how to grow the core belief .
Ivan checked out his sea of consciousness and easily found the small seed floating in it, besides the mental hut . This was the representation of the core belief .
It would start as a seed and then slowly be nurtured into a sapling, before growing into a tree . There wasn"t any mention of an upper limit in the wiki entry, but there were hints that after the tree reached a certain size, it would change . It was just that he wasn"t able to access this information and besides, it was still way too far away for him to think about .
He took a closer look at the una.s.suming seed, but couldn"t detect anything special . It would have to become a sapling first before it could be used in any way .
< since="" you="" are="" a="" family="" head,="" you="" can="" now="" set="" your="" core="" belief="" as="" the="" family="" belief="" .="" do="" you="" want="" to="" do="" it?="">>
While reading about the core belief, he had also read about family belief . The family belief was slightly different from the core belief . It would grow with the deeds of the family members and unlike the core belief, it didn"t allow the usage of its power to strengthen skills . Instead, it would provide buffs for the family members .
And unlike core beliefs, which one could have as many as one wants, although it was generally seen as unrealistic to have more than four, a family could only have one family belief per rank . As such it was important that the family head selected a good core belief to serve as family belief . In fact, often the family heads would rather leave a spot free than select an unsuitable belief .
Luckily for Ivan, according to the wiki, his "For the family" was one of the most popular family beliefs . It was generally seen as having good synergy with the family system since it put the focus on the family . The wiki didn"t go in-depth, but it mentioned that the buffs gained through the "For the family" belief were some of the best, since they would allow the family to be stronger and even sped up the growth of other family beliefs .
As such it was one of the best first or second family beliefs to be selected .
With this knowledge, Ivan didn"t hesitate to select the accept b.u.t.ton .
< warning:="" your="" family="" has="" currently="" no="" family="" home,="" so="" the="" family="" belief="" seed="" can="" not="" be="" planted="" .="" please="" reach="" family="" rank="" 2,="" to="" gain="" a="" family="" home="" .="">>
"Oh right . ", that was something Ivan had forgotten about . For the family belief to work, just like the core belief, it had to grow into at least a sapling . But unlike the core belief which would grow inside one"s sea of consciousness, the family belief would grow in the family home .
Only at rank 2 would a family get a family home, near the place, where it was founded . This family home would then serve as the focal point of the family . Later it could then be moved, if necessary .

After reading the description of this t.i.tle, Ivan couldn"t help but smile . This was something he liked . Sure as just about always, the t.i.tle could also backfire on him but as long as he stood to his believes he could only gain through it .
Having read all the prompts he could feel himself growing sleepy . It seemed like the dungeon run had sapped his strength much more than he had thought . And soon he fell into a deep sleep .
The next day he woke up in his bed . He turned to look if Lara had already gotten up, before remembering that she had left for an adventure . Once again he wondered how easily he had gotten used to her staying with him in the same room .
When he came down the stairs, the others already waited for him at the breakfast table .
"Daddy!", Jane exclaimed when she saw him .
"Morning darling . ", he softly greeted her back and tussled her hair . He then greeted the others as well, "Morning everyone . "
"Morning, Ivan . ", the others replied . Although Celine should have called him master, ever since they had done the contract, he had told her to just act comfortable and call him by his name . As for Lucia, she just called him by his name from the start, not feeling any distance to him .
He sat down and looked at them . As usual, Lucia sat beside his daughter and the two whispered to each other and picked up each other food . It warmed his heart to see them acting so comfortable with each other . Opposite of them sat Celine who too smiled at the sight of her daughter .
She had gotten better since Ivan had infused her with Vital Qi regularly . Now she was able to walk on her own again and her formerly white hair had gotten some color at the roots . According to her, it would take at most two more months until they could execute the ritual .
But she was already able to transfer him enough spiritual qi to cure the flareups of blood . Something that made his life much easier .
