Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1006 (Previous Chapter 7) Tianyun Sword Sect
After returning from Baiyun Immortal City, Yang Zhengshan found Yunxiao and told them about what he had discussed with Baiyun Zhenjun and Jian Changhe.

What do you think about this?

After he finished speaking, Yang Zhengshan asked Yunxiao.

Yunxiao looked at him with a very strange expression. "You want to use them as a shield?"

Yang Zhengshan raised an eyebrow. "Is it that obvious?"

"Isn't it obvious? With such a celestial palace, you don't need to establish a sect at all, especially one led by someone else," Yunxiao said.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless. Well, it was indeed quite obvious.

The Immortal Palace of the Living Realm can already be considered a sect. Since a sect has already been established, there is no need to go through the trouble of partnering with others to establish a new sect.

However, it was only because Yunxiao knew of the existence of the Immortal Palace that she could see Yang Zhengshan's purpose. Baiyun Zhenjun and Jian Changhe might not have been able to guess Yang Zhengshan's purpose.

Or perhaps they couldn't accurately guess Yang Zhengshan's purpose; they probably thought Yang Zhengshan was using this power to benefit himself.

Actually, it's not a big deal. The reason why everyone is interested in establishing a sect is that they want a powerful force to command.

Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "It probably won't be easy to integrate the power of the Yunxiao Mountains."

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "I know, this can't be rushed. What we really need to focus on is building the sect's framework first!"

Yunxiao nodded. "Then what do you want me to do?"

"When the time comes, you will also join the new sect. Although I want to use the new sect as a shield for the Immortal Palace, I don't want it to be just a disorganized mess!"

"Integrating our strengths to create a new sect would be advantageous for us."

"If the Celestial Palace becomes powerful in the future, it is not impossible to use this new sect as an external force of the Celestial Palace!"

"Once the new sect is established, I may need you to take control of it!"

Yang Zhengshan shared his thoughts.

Yang Zhengshan's overall plan is to first establish a new sect by leveraging the power of Baiyun Immortal City, Cangjian Mountain, and Cangyu Mountain. Initially, this new sect can provide shelter for the Spirit Source Land, but once the power grows stronger, it will be swallowed whole.

The new sect leader will definitely be appointed by True Monarch Baiyun. Yang Zhengshan will not compete with him for the position, nor can he compete with him for it.

However, he can gradually erode the power of the new sect, initially controlling a few powerful departments, and then slowly taking control of the entire power of the new sect.

With his support behind the scenes, and with Yunxiao keeping a close eye on things, it will be easy for him to swallow up this new sect.

Of course, neither Yang Zhengshan nor Yunxiao would personally get involved in such matters; Yang Jizhen would be needed to lead the power struggle.

In this way, even if the matter is exposed, Yang Zhengshan can get away with it easily.

"Well, you really have some vicious thoughts." Yunxiao looked at Yang Zhengshan with an even stranger expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that!" Yang Zhengshan felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

Yunxiao stroked his beard and chuckled, "Didn't you treat the Illusion Moon Sect the same way before?"

Yang Zhengshan rolled his eyes. "I didn't harm the Illusion Moon Sect. On the contrary, I helped the Illusion Moon Sect a lot. When I joined the Illusion Moon Sect, I just wanted to use its power to help the Spirit Source Land gain a foothold in the Sea of ​​Spirit Beauty."

Yunxiao thought about it and realized that Yang Zhengshan was right. Although he liked to scheme, he rarely did anything that harmed others for his own benefit. He preferred mutual benefit.

Although the Illusion Moon Sect has suffered heavy losses in recent years, those losses were not caused by Yang Zhengshan, but by changes in the situation. Therefore, Yang Zhengshan cannot be blamed for them.

In addition, Yang Zhengshan has helped quite a few people.

From the Lu family to the Shi family, from the Illusion Moon Sect to the Profound Purity Sect, they all received great kindness from Yang Zhengshan.

The Yang family has saved many people from the Lu family; Lu Fusheng, Lu Youan, and Lu Youning have all received his life-saving grace.

The same goes for the Beishi family. If it weren't for Yang Zhengshan's intervention back then, the Beishi family would have been wiped out long ago, and there would be no Beishi family now.

Yang Zhengshan also saved Lin Daoyuan and Yue'e.

Yang Zhengshan is a timely rain in the sea of ​​spiritual beauty.

"Let's prepare for this first. Once True Monarch Baiyun and Que Lingyu have reached an agreement, we'll join this new sect!"

……

Cangyu Mountain is not particularly steep; it is covered in light green leaves, which ripple in the wind. At the summit stands an ancient tree, its trunk requiring more than ten people to encircle it, its branches reaching out towards the clouds, providing shade for half the mountain.

The lark demons' nests are embedded among the branches, intertwined like a city. Some are carved directly into giant branches, with the entrance covered by a feathered curtain; others are made by binding tens of thousands of withered branches with vines, piling them into a dome several feet high, with a doorway so wide that three people can stand side by side.

Where the wind blows, the sound of flapping wings can be heard from the nest, and occasionally the wings sweep across the branches and leaves, creating air currents that can stir up the thin mist on the mountainside.

Hidden at the foot of the mountain is a valley, where a stream flows through the rocks and forms a clear pool in the heart of the valley. Clumps of orchids grow by the pool, their fragrance carried on the breeze. The dwelling of sparrows is hidden behind the pool in the shadows of bamboo, where morning glories climb the bamboo fence, their petals reflecting the sunlight and swaying gently in the wind.

Que Lingyu stood on the bluestone, her body less than five feet tall, with narrow shoulders like an undeveloped bamboo stalk. Three snow-white lark feathers were tucked into her hair, and the stray hairs hanging down her cheeks had a faint white feather tinge. The tips of her ears were tinged with a soft pink, making her appear more charming and innocent than an ordinary girl.

But when she looked up, there was not a trace of childishness in her amber eyes.

"Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary?"

Her voice was clear and delicate, like a stream flowing over stones, yet it carried a calm and deep strength.

Jian Changhe's figure emerged from the void and appeared on the blue stone a zhang away from her.

"This junior has something I'd like to discuss with you, senior!"

"What is it?" Que Lingyu frowned slightly. Although her eyes were deep and quiet, she still looked very cute and charming.

"Two things: First, Yang Zhengshan of the Yang family has also reached the Core Formation stage."

"Yang Zhengshan of the Yang family?" Que Lingyu tilted her head and thought for a long time, as if it took her a long time to remember that there was such a person as Yang Zhengshan.

In fact, she had some understanding of Yang Zhengshan, after all, Yang Zhengshan had previously exchanged a lot of demon cores from Cangyu Mountain.

"I never expected him to have reached the Core Formation stage as well!"

Que Lingyu spoke in a calm tone, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

"The second thing is that Yang Zhengshan proposed to establish a new sect in the Yunxiao Mountains, and True Monarch Baiyun has already agreed!" Jian Changhe continued.

Que Lingyu looked up. "A new sect?" "Yes, we'll integrate all the forces in the Cloud Soaring Mountains to establish a new sect!" Jian Changhe explained simply.

Que Lingyu chuckled lightly, her laughter carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"This is trying to include me too. Does True Monarch Baiyun dare to do that?"

Jian Changhe ignored her sarcasm and said, "If we want to gain more benefits in Zhenyang Immortal City, we must unite!"

Que Lingyu, holding a slender feather, teased the fish swimming in the pool by the stone pool, a circle of pale gold feather patterns on her wrist flowing with her movements.

"It seems you agree!"

“That’s right!” Jian Changhe didn’t hesitate at all; he had been persuaded by Yang Zhengshan.

Que Lingyu turned her head to look at the tombstone next to the stone pool, her eyes filled with a dazed look.

"If that's the case, why bother asking me?"

"The younger generation needs the support of the seniors!"

"I told you I don't want to leave here!"

Jian Changhe lowered his brows slightly, "Even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the descendants of the Yun Que clan!"

"Are you threatening me?" Que Lingyu said without any emotion.

"No, what I mean is that it's time for you, senior, to train the next generation of demon kings for the Yunque clan!" Jian Changhe explained.

Que Lingyu remained silent, staring blankly at the tombstone.

The stone tablet reads: 'The green blade within the sheath still whistles, the bright moon and starlight illuminate the old path. The immortal journey unfinished, the man departed in solitude, alone facing Feather Mountain, recalling the past.'

This is certainly not the tomb of the Heavenly Sword True Lord. The Heavenly Sword True Lord's tomb is in Hidden Sword Mountain, and there is only a sword that the Heavenly Sword True Lord used in the tomb.

Que Lingyu remained silent for a long time, and Jian Changhe did not disturb her, but simply waited quietly.

"Fine, I'll go find Baiyun. Don't worry about the rest!"

She suddenly came to her senses and said in a calm tone.

……

No one knows what Que Lingyu and Baiyun Zhenjun talked about, but the final result is that a new sect will appear in the Yunxiao Mountains: the Tianyun Sword Sect.

In the White Cloud Immortal City, within the Jade Night Palace.

Baiyun Zhenjun, Que Lingyu, Jian Changhe, Yang Zhengshan, and Yunxiao gathered here.

"The new sect will be called the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. Do you all have any objections?" True Monarch Baiyun looked at Yang Zhengshan and Yunxiao.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "This junior has no objection!"

"The sect's headquarters will be located in Baiyun Immortal City! What do you all think?" True Monarch Baiyun asked again.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

The place with the highest-grade spiritual veins around the Cloud Soaring Mountains is White Cloud Immortal City, making it the most suitable location for a sect to be based there.

Then, led by True Monarch Baiyun, the group discussed the structure of the Tianyun Sword Sect and the ceremony for its founding.

The structure is very simple. From top to bottom, they are: Supreme Elder, Sect Master, Seven Hall Masters, Foundation Establishment Elder Peak, Personal Disciple, Inner Disciple, and Outer Disciple.

The Supreme Elders are five Golden Core cultivators, including Que Lingyu.

Yun Ge served as the first sect leader.

The Seven Halls are the sect's management institutions. The main hall is the Chenji Hall, where the sect leader resides, while the other six halls, namely the Suxing Hall, Pofeng Hall, Chuangong Hall, and Lingqi Hall, are responsible for managing all affairs within the sect.

The Foundation Establishment Elder Peak is the cultivation ground for each Foundation Establishment Elder. Although the Tianyun Sword Sect's headquarters are in Baiyun Immortal City, the entire Yunxiao Mountain Range is the territory of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Therefore, the Seven Halls of the sect will be located in Baiyun Immortal City, but each Foundation Establishment Elder does not have to stay in Baiyun Immortal City. They can freely choose their cultivation place, as long as it is in the Yunxiao Mountains.

For example, Cangjian Mountain was changed to Cangjian Peak, and Cangyu Mountain was changed to Cangyu Peak.

Each Foundation Establishment Elder can take on disciples, but after taking on disciples, they must report to the sect and abide by the sect's rules and orders.

As for the rules and regulations, they are all pretty much the same.

The sect's top management consists of the sect leader and six hall masters. Apart from Yun Ge serving as the sect leader, the other six hall masters are divided into three groups, with Yang Zhengshan having taken over the Lingye Hall and the Lingqi Hall.

Que Lingyu did not compete for this, while Yang Zhengshan and Yunxiao worked together to secure two positions as palace masters for the Yang family.

The Lingye Hall is mainly responsible for the refining of elixirs and magical artifacts, as well as the training of alchemists and artifact refiners. Yang Zhengshan has decided to appoint Yang Jizhen as the hall master of the Lingye Hall.

The Command Flag Hall is primarily responsible for the management and training of disciples, as well as assigning tasks to them and coordinating their training. This role is filled by Kota.

After they had discussed and agreed on the general matters, they handed over the establishment of the sect to the sect's management.

Establishing a sect is an extremely complicated matter. It requires not only setting up the sect's structure, but also integrating the strengths of all parties, registering every cultivator, assigning positions, and dividing responsibilities, among other things.

Yang Zhengshan pushed Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, Cui Yang, Zhang Hexuan, Kou Ta, and Bai Xiaoyun into the Tianyun Sword Sect.

As for the others, apart from Li Shangyuan who will stay at Wuzhen Dao Palace to oversee things, the rest will mainly stay in the Lingyuan Land.

Meanwhile, Cangjian Mountain recommended Jian Guyun, Jian Suxin, Jian Qingxiao, and Zhang Yan to join Tianyun Sword Sect. In addition, Jingshui, Yunxi, and Liuyue also joined Tianyun Sword Sect in the name of Cangjian Mountain.

However, the main body of the Tianyun Sword Sect is still the Baiyun Dao lineage. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. The former Baiyun Immortal City had as many as two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although Baiyun Immortal City has declined a lot now, it still has several hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many of these Foundation Establishment cultivators had close ties with the Baiyun Daoist lineage. Now that the Baiyun Daoist lineage had been renamed the Tianyun Sword Sect, they naturally joined the Tianyun Sword Sect as well.

In just one month, the Tianyun Sword Sect had 362 Foundation Establishment elders and more than 3,000 registered disciples and inner disciples, all of whom were cultivators at or above the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Meanwhile, the founding ceremony of the Tianyun Sword Sect is scheduled to be held three months later.

Such a major event could not be kept secret, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Western Regions of Wanhua and the Wanhua Mountains.

In an instant, Baiyun Immortal City once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
