Yang Chen didn't know what other benefits there would be after advancing to Level Eight, but since Deshun Prince had said so, the Chen family should advance to Level Eight as soon as possible.
There were two steps for an aristocratic family to advance to Rank-8. The first step was to announce it to the world. Only after obtaining the approval of the heavens could the second step be carried out.
Generally speaking, as long as there were two Core Formation experts in the clan, the first step would not be a problem.
The second step was to invite some aristocratic families to a banquet to show off their status as an Eighth-rank aristocratic family.
In Da Qian, the second step was called the Promotion Banquet. If a family advanced to Rank Eight, all the Prefecture Overseers of the prefecture would go back to participate.
The Prefecture Overseer attending was to represent the royal family in recognizing his Rank-8 status, and also to rope him in.
