Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1035 Yu Qingyi's Breakthrough

Feeling the surging aura of the void, Yang Zhengshan could no longer suppress his excitement, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

"If this shot can break through the boundary barrier, then let's call it the Boundary-Breaking Shot!"

After his initial excitement, he quickly reached out and plugged the deep hole.

This is a rift in the void. Without the barrier of space, the spiritual energy of the Spirit Source Land will be continuously devoured by the void. You must know that the spiritual energy of the Spirit Source Land is also limited. Losing even a fraction of it is equivalent to losing a large number of spirit stones. If too much is lost, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Spirit Source Land will decrease.

As the master of the Immortal Palace of Living Realm, Yang Zhengshan naturally did not want the concentration of spiritual energy in the Spirit Source Land to decrease.

He reached out and plugged the hole, then used his mind to connect with the twelve golden lotuses, activating the power of the void contained within them to repair the hole.

"Breakthrough! Breakthrough! If this spear were to strike the enemy, it would at least create a large hole!"

"However, this move cannot be used in the Spirit Source Land in the future. In just a short time, the spiritual energy equivalent to hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones has been lost!"

Hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are nothing to Yang Zhengshan now, nor to the vast Spirit Source Land, but he would still feel heartache if he just threw them away so casually.

While Yang Zhengshan was still practicing his marksmanship, a powerful vortex of spiritual energy surged above the Hall of Longevity.

A dense spiritual energy surged in from all directions like a tide, gathering above the Hall of Longevity and forming a vast expanse of seven-colored radiance.

The sudden change alarmed many cultivators in the Immortal Palace. First, Hongyun, Qingxia, and the others from the Longevity Hall immediately withdrew from the Longevity Hall and set up a perimeter for guarding the area.

Of course, they weren't guarding against enemies; they were simply preventing anyone from recklessly entering the Hall of Longevity and disturbing Yu Qingyi's breakthrough.

Subsequently, Xia Yunshu, Yang Qingyu, Yang Qinghua, Lin Pingyang, and several other newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out from their respective pavilions and arrived near the Hall of Longevity.

"Aunt Hongyun, has the Green-Clad Ancestor broken through?" Yang Qingyu stepped forward and asked.

Hongyun laughed happily, "That's right!"

Yang Qingyu nodded happily and then stood with the others to wait.

Xia Yunshu looked to be in her thirties. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a certain air of heroism about her. Perhaps it was because she had once been a low-level member of the Lotus Heart Valley, which gave her a resilient temperament from the inside out.

Back then, when Yang Zhengshan picked her up from Lotus Heart Valley, she was only at the second level of Qi Refining, but now she is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Such an encounter can be considered a great blessing.

Her good fortune came from Yang Zhengshan, or rather, the Yang family.

Yang Qinghua is the fifth-generation descendant of Yang Chengze, and he is the successor to the Lingqiaozi plan originally devised by Yang Zhengshan.

The Spirit Aperture Project aims to recruit people with spiritual abilities from the Great An Dynasty and the vast seas, allowing them to live, cultivate, and marry in the Spirit Source Land.

Those with good aptitude were taken in as disciples by Yang Zhengshan and Xuanzhen, while those with less aptitude stayed in Jingxuan Hall to cultivate.

Over the past seventy or eighty years, the Spirit Source Land has absorbed hundreds of spiritual talents from the outside world, many of whom have married and had children in the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Qinghua's mother was a spiritual expert from the Da'an Dynasty. Although his mother's aptitude was not very good, Yang Qinghua possessed spiritual abilities and was exceptionally talented.

The other Lin Pingyang is Lin Zhan's fourth-generation descendant. Lin Pingyang has nothing to do with the Lingqiaozi Project; he is a naturally occurring Lingqiaozi.

The Spirit Aperture Project has allowed the Spirit Aperture to absorb hundreds of Spirit Apertures, who live in the Spirit Source Land, marry, have children, and reproduce. This has resulted in a significant increase in the number of new Spirit Apertures born in the Spirit Source Land in recent years.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan's Lingqiaozi plan can be considered a success.

No one spoke; they simply stood silently suspended in mid-air, waiting for Yu Qingyi to break through.

Just then, Yang Zhengshan sensed the return of the spiritual energy fluctuations in the Immortal Palace.

"Greetings, True Lord!" the crowd bowed.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, said nothing, and looked toward the quiet room inside the Hall of Longevity.

His spiritual sense, following his gaze, penetrated through layers of walls and formations, enveloping the quiet room.

Seeing that Yu Qingyi in the quiet room had a calm expression and her breathing was orderly, he finally felt relieved.

"I'll keep watch here, you all go and do your work!"

Yang Zhengshan then spoke.

"Yes!"

One by one, everyone dispersed, and Hongyun and Qingxia also withdrew.

Actually, they don't have anything to do, but there's no point in them all staying here.

About two hours later, the vortex of spiritual energy in the air gradually dissipated, and Yang Zhengshan went directly to the quiet room.

Yu Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yang Zhengshan in front of her, and said with a peaceful expression, "Husband!"

"Hmm, how are you feeling?"

"Excellent! It couldn't be better!" Yu Qingyi smiled radiantly.

Yang Zhengshan used his spiritual sense to check Yu Qingyi's body and was relieved to see that she was in good condition.

"You should first stabilize your cultivation. In a couple of days, we'll hold a banquet for everyone to have a good time."

"it is good!"

Yu Qingyi is different from Ding Qiu. Although Ding Qiu has also made a breakthrough and deserves to celebrate, his status is nowhere near that of Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi is the matriarch of the Yang family, and in this Immortal Palace of Life, she is the mistress.

If she were in a secular imperial dynasty, she would be the mother of the nation, the empress.

Yang Zhengshan doesn't really like hosting banquets, and he usually doesn't attend them, but this time he has to host one.

Firstly, it's to celebrate Yu Qingyi's successful breakthrough, and secondly, it's to reconnect with everyone.

Third, and most importantly, it was to help Yu Qingyi solidify her status and position.

Yu Qingyi is a martial artist, not a cultivator.

Martial artists are always inferior to immortal cultivators. This is an unchangeable reality, both in the outside world and within the immortal palace of the living realm.

However, the Immortal Palace of Life belongs to Yang Zhengshan, and the Land of Spiritual Origin belongs to the Yang family. Regardless of the authority of Yang Zhengshan as the master or the legitimacy of the Yang family in the Land of Spiritual Origin, Yu Qingyi's identity and status cannot be shaken.

Yu Qingyi spent more than ten days stabilizing her cultivation, and the celebration banquet in Baiyujing lasted for three more days. By the time the excitement subsided, half a month had passed.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi walked side by side along the shore of Changsheng Lake in front of the Changsheng Hall. A gentle breeze blew, the water rippled, and spiritual energy swirled around the emerald green lotus leaves.

"The Divine Soul Realm focuses on cultivating the Divine Soul. Once you cultivate your Divine Soul to a certain level, you will have the foundation to break through to the Golden Core stage. From now on, your cultivation will mainly focus on cultivating the Divine Soul!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Well, I'll go to the study later to choose a soul cultivation technique!" Yu Qingyi said with a light laugh.

Yang Zhengshan seemed to be deep in thought. His study contained many spiritual cultivation techniques, from the initial Void Refining Nerve to the later Heart Sword Scripture, and then to the techniques he collected from various places. All of them were high-quality spiritual cultivation methods.

He placed these techniques in his study so that he could easily refer to their contents.

As for which cultivation technique Yu Qingyi was suited to practice, Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of the Thousand Threads Soul Control Technique?"

"Controlling the soul with a thousand threads, transforming thoughts into a thousand gods, using softness to overcome hardness, seems quite good, but I actually prefer the Soul Raven Dividing Spirit Technique!" Yu Qingyi said, looking at Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "There's no conflict. The Thousand Threads Soul Control Technique is a technique, and the Soul Raven Dividing Spirit Technique is a skill. You can cultivate both!"

Technique, method, and scripture are three ways of naming a cultivation method. Generally speaking, technique represents a technique, although it can also be used as a cultivation method, but its essence is just a technique.

The "method" refers to the cultivation method, which is more comprehensive. It often refers to a complete set of cultivation methods, including cultivation techniques, taboos, and even some cultivation insights from predecessors, as well as several accompanying techniques.

As for scriptures, they involve the level of Dao intent. In the world of immortal cultivation, techniques that can be cultivated to the Golden Core stage are generally regarded as scriptures, such as Yang Zhengshan's Green Wood Longevity Scripture, Yang Jizhen's Yi Wood Thunder Control Scripture, Ma Qiuyan's Gui Water Nourishing Essence Scripture, and so on.

In the past, most of the immortal cultivation techniques given in the Transmission Hall of the ancient ruins were of this type.

However, the cultivation methods of the soul and spiritual power are slightly different. First, the soul cultivation methods are much rarer. Second, the soul cultivation methods generally do not involve the Dao. Third, the cultivation method of the soul is actually the training of the application of soul power.

Take the Soul Raven Splitting Technique as an example. If you can master this technique and split your soul into dozens or even hundreds of ravens, your soul will definitely be strong.

Similarly, refining the spirit through the cave is also a process of using the cave to temper the soul.

The two methods differ, but their essence is the same.

For cultivators, there is no need to pursue higher-level spiritual cultivation techniques, because many spiritual cultivation techniques have prerequisites.

The Void Refining Nerve Scripture requires a grotto-heaven, and the Heart Sword Scripture requires an understanding of the sword path. Without a grotto-heaven, or without cultivating the sword path, cultivating the Void Refining Nerve Scripture and the Heart Sword Scripture will be much less effective, and it would be better to cultivate the Soul Crow Clone Technique.

The reason Yang Zhengshan chose the Thousand Threads Soul Control Technique for Yu Qingyi is because the Thousand Threads Soul Control Technique emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness and is good at manipulation and infiltration.

By refining the soul into countless strands of "soul threads," one can infiltrate another's sea of ​​consciousness to read shallow memories, or weave an "illusion net" to trap a person in a designated illusion.

This technique isn't particularly powerful, but its strength lies in its meticulous detail, making it very suitable for Yu Qingyi to practice.

If Yu Qingyi can master this technique, her spiritual strength will definitely not be bad.

“Alright, I’ll cultivate the Thousand Threads Soul Control Technique and the Soul Raven Dividing Technique!” Yu Qingyi happily agreed.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan chatted with Yu Qingyi for a while, mainly giving her guidance on her future cultivation direction. In addition, Yang Zhengshan also wanted to provide Yu Qingyi with various elixirs for her subsequent cultivation.

With the pills refined by Yang Zhengshan, Yu Qingyi's cultivation speed should be able to increase significantly, and she might even be able to catch up with Ding Qiu in the future.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was instructing Yu Qingyi, another major event occurred in the Wanhua Mountains.

In the northeastern part of the Wanhua Mountains, there is a small hill called Wanguyin Mountain. The mountain is entirely bluish-black, and its surface is covered with a thick layer of grayish-white powder. From time to time, a fine rustling sound can be heard from the mountain, like the grinding of bones.

The mountain's belly is pierced by a yin vein, and the evil energy from the earth's core surges along the cracks, gathering in the mountain hollows to form a gray mist that never dissipates. Twisted tree shadows can be vaguely seen in the mist, but they are actually withered vines eroded by the evil energy.

Entering the mountain's interior through the dark passageway, one arrives at a vast Yin Sha Square. The ground is paved with black stones, and dark red liquid flows between the cracks in the stones. It is a mixture of Yin energy and blood, which will bubble and emit a foul-smelling white mist when stepped on.

In the center of the square was a familiar pool of blood, a thousand feet deep, churning with thick blood plasma, with half-bones and blackened limbs floating on the surface, the sound of bubbles bursting mixed with the clanging of chains being dragged.

Three massive white bone pillars stand in the center of the pool, with ancient bronze lamps dripping blood hanging from their tops. The lamp oil is made from the eyeballs of living people, and the eerie blue flames leap strangely in the pupils.

On a black stone platform carved with spiral runes by the pool, twelve corpses with their hearts removed knelt in a circle, their chests pierced with barbed iron chains, the other end of which was submerged in the pool.

That's right, this is the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts of the Impermanent Ghost Sect.

In the dimly lit cave square, the Yin energy lingered like a thick fog, and within the fog, stiff figures were constantly busy.

Zhang Mo stood beside the blood pool, his eyes filled with a sinister gaze as he stared at the bubbles rising from it.

Zhang Mo at this time was very different from the Zhang Mo of the past. The Zhang Mo of the past wore a blue robe, had silver hair, and a rosy face, and had a somewhat otherworldly appearance. But the Zhang Mo of the present had messy hair, a withered face, and red eyes, and looked exactly like a demon.

Zhang Mo was once incredibly powerful, commanding over ten Foundation Establishment Yin Soldiers and tens of thousands of Blood Corpse Puppets. He first destroyed Lotus Heart Valley, then caused the Qingli Six Families to lose nearly half of their strength, and finally wreaked havoc on many martial artists in the Wuxiang Sect.

After returning to the Impermanent Ghost Sect, he not only received commendation from his superiors, but also made further progress in his cultivation. He was riding high and enjoying boundless glory.

However, his bad luck began after he fell from the Sun Cave.

Within the Sun Cave, he first lost a large number of Yin soldiers and blood puppets, and even the two strongest Yin soldiers, Lin Daoyuan and Yue'e, were taken away by Yang Zhengshan.

After falling from the Sun Cave, he went to the Illusion Moon Sect and encountered Master Mirror Water.

Duan Qiankun, the prized disciple, was instantly killed by Master Jingshui. In the end, his two most trusted Yin soldiers, Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian, also perished at the Illusion Moon Sect, leaving him alone to flee in panic.

Once back to square one, Zhang Mo became utterly alone.

There was nothing he could do but start over from scratch.

He couldn't go to the Yunxiao Mountains anymore. After the Tianyun Sword Sect was established, he certainly couldn't continue to live in the Yunxiao Mountains, so he came to the northeast of the Wanhua Mountains.

However, the reputation of the Impermanent Ghost Sect is too bad; no matter where he is, he is a figure that everyone hates and hates.

He could only hide in the remote mountains and plot slowly.

More than a decade has passed. Although he has not regained his former strength, he is no longer alone and has gained more ghost soldiers and blood puppets under his command.

Life has become somewhat stifling and depressing, and the former pride and glory are gone.
