Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1058 The Newly Born Antique

"Stop him, activate the formation!"

Yu Yuan roared angrily, and the group of Wuchang Ghost Sect members were thrown into a flurry of activity. Some tried to stop Yang Zhengshan, some were activating formations, and others were like headless flies, completely unaware of what was happening.

The events unfolded too suddenly, and too much time had passed. Most of the disciples of the Impermanent Ghost Sect failed to spot Yang Zhengshan; they only heard Yu Yuan's angry roar.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Zhengshan had already broken out of the cloud formation, and then he entered the Great Void, flying towards the depths of the Great Void.

Although Yu Yuan was a step slower, he also entered the void quickly; in fact, the two were only two or three seconds apart.

But those two or three seconds were enough for Yang Zhengshan to create a considerable distance between them.

However, after discovering that Yu Yuan had entered the void, Yang Zhengshan still used the Invisible Body Transformation Technique to teleport away.

In the heavy, smoky void, his figure flashed repeatedly, leaving behind illusory traces of energy.

Transforming one's body into nothingness can achieve the effect of teleportation. Yang Zhengshan had already mastered this technique, and with his cultivation and practice over this period of time, he had become increasingly proficient in this method of teleportation.

After creating a large distance again, Yang Zhengshan summoned the Flowing Shadow Shuttle, which transformed into a phantom figure and disappeared into the dark void.

Yu Yuan's speed wasn't slow, after all, he had the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage. Even if he hadn't comprehended the Dao of the Great Void, his speed in traversing the Great Void wouldn't be too slow.

However, he still felt a sense of being far inferior to Yang Zhengshan.

The main problem is that the teleportation ability is too fast, especially when using the "body transformation" technique to teleport in the Taixu realm. The speed is almost extreme, and it is estimated that even Que Lingyu would have a hard time keeping up.

However, the ability to transform into nothingness is a divine power of the Great Void, and it consumes a great deal of magical power and spiritual energy when used. Yang Zhengshan used it more than twenty times in a row and then felt somewhat tired.

Fortunately, he had already gotten rid of his lingering resentment, and his vital energy quickly disappeared into the depths of the void.

Yu Yuan stopped, staring at the empty void. The anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, yet it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The raging anger wanted to be vented, but he couldn't. That feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

"How despicable! A dignified Golden Core cultivator actually committed such a petty theft!"

"Ah~~"

Yu Yuan roared angrily in his heart.

Who would have thought that someone would sneak into the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts to steal the Blood Jade of Ten Thousand Ghosts? The Impermanent Ghost Sect has been established for countless years and such a thing has never happened before, especially since the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts was guarded by An Wusheng himself.

The Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts established by a Golden Core cultivator is naturally incomparable to the Blood Pool established by the Blood Pool Steward.

In fact, the defense of the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts is quite strong. First of all, there are a large number of Yin soldiers and blood puppets around the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Once an unfamiliar aura is exposed, these Yin soldiers and blood puppets will rush forward without fear of death.

Secondly, the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts is part of the Yin Sha Blood Sha Grand Array. The array will supply a large amount of spiritual power to the blood pool, which is enough for the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts to withstand various attacks.

Furthermore, the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts is filled with various complex and eerie auras. Whether one's soul or physical body enters it, one will be corrupted by these auras.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot get close to the Myriad Ghost Blood Jade in a short time, let alone take it away in a short time.

Yang Zhengshan was able to do this entirely because of his ability to teleport and his powerful soul. If he didn't have the ability to teleport, he wouldn't be able to get close to the Myriad Ghosts Blood Jade. If his soul wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to accurately locate the Myriad Ghosts Blood Jade, let alone obtain it in a short time.

Looking at the smoky void, Yu Yuan had no choice but to return to the Cloud Mist Array.

……

Inside the cloud and mist formation.

An Wusheng stared menacingly at the restless Yin soldiers and blood puppets. After losing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Jade, he could no longer control these Yin soldiers and blood puppets, but he could forcibly suppress them.

"What exactly happened?"

An Wusheng's voice was cold, sending a chill down Yu Yuan's spine.

Yu Yuan lowered his head and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, it is my incompetence!"

“I’m asking what’s going on?” An Wusheng interrupted him directly, asking coldly.

Yu Yuan trembled and quickly said, "A mysterious person sneaked into the blood pool and stole the blood jade!"

“His supernatural ability is very special. He can teleport short distances and obtained the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Jade in the blink of an eye. By the time I caught up, he had already broken out of the formation.”

"Although I tried my best to pursue him, I couldn't catch up at all and could only watch helplessly as he disappeared into the depths of the void!"

"Your subordinate is incompetent and should be punished, Lord!"

Yu Yuan apologized again.

An Wusheng's eyes seemed to turn as cold as ice as he stared at Yu Yuan. "What kind of supernatural power?"

"I don't know, it might be a supernatural power related to the Dao of the Great Void!" Yu Yuan said.

While teleportation is rare, it does exist. Many supernatural abilities related to the Great Void possess teleportation capabilities, as do other Daoist supernatural abilities, such as Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Spiritual Veins Piercing the Courtyard, and Shadow Transformation.

In fact, traversing the void can be considered a kind of teleportation ability, but the drawback of traversing the void is obvious: it takes a certain amount of time.

Teleportation, instantaneous movement, but this instant can actually be of varying lengths.

Golden Core cultivators can achieve instantaneous teleportation by traversing the void, but such teleportation still takes a relatively long time.

Take Yang Zhengshan for example. In the past, Yang Zhengshan could use the Spirit Source Land to teleport. Now, Yang Zhengshan uses the ability to become invisible to teleport. Both can be considered teleportation, but there is still a big difference between them.

Yang Zhengshan used to be able to teleport once, but now he can teleport five times.

An Wusheng lowered his gaze, looking at the blood pool below. "I wonder who the other party is?"

"I can't tell!" Yu Yuan said in a low voice.

"Hehe, very good, very good!" An Wusheng was so angry that he laughed.

It's one thing to have your own home stolen, but to not even know who stole it is utterly disgraceful!

Moreover, he had left so much power at home: one Golden Core cultivator, two Yin Soldiers with Golden Core strength, and tens of thousands of Yin Soldier Blood Puppets, yet he couldn't even touch the opponent's shadow.

This is absolutely a huge joke!

If this gets out, I wonder how many people will laugh their heads off! "Palace Master, could this person be a newly born ancient relic?" Yu Yuan said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in An Wusheng's eyes, and he revealed a thoughtful expression. "Those old relics...maybe."

"Old antiques" naturally refers to cultivators who have lived for a long time, while "newly born old antiques" refers to cultivators who have awakened from their slumber.

Even the Mirror Water Immortal could use the Turtle Breath Pill to fall asleep for decades. Those ancient beings whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage or even halfway into the Dao stage naturally also have ways to freeze their lifespan and allow themselves to spend tens of millions of years in slumber.

Moreover, there are quite a few such antiques.

As the struggle for power draws ever closer, more and more old relics will awaken.

"Then..." Yu Yuan hesitated, wanting to ask what to do next, but he didn't dare to, fearing that An Wusheng would punish him.

An Wusheng glanced at him but did not punish him. Instead, he took out a piece of Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade and tossed it to him, saying, "Immediately restart the Blood Fiend Array and control these brainless idiots!"

"Yes!" Yu Yuan replied quickly.

Yang Zhengshan was wrong about one thing. He thought that after he stole the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Jade, An Wusheng would need to re-refine it. But in reality, An Wusheng had more than one Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Jade. He could replace the original Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Jade with a new one at any time.

Of course, this replacement process will also take time. Resetting the restrictions and reintegrating into the Blood Fiend Array will take at least three to five years to complete.

However, all of this is no longer relevant to Yang Zhengshan. He just wanted to cause some trouble for the Wuchang Ghost Sect. Now that he has achieved his goal, he naturally wants to stay as far away as possible.

After returning to the Immortal Palace of Life from the depths of the Great Void, Yang Zhengshan immediately summoned Xuanzhen and asked him to use the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra to purify the Myriad Ghost Blood Jade.

When Xuanzhen looked at the Myriad Ghosts Blood Jade, the wrinkles on his face deepened with a smile.

"Haha, such a rich aura of bloodlust, where did True Monarch obtain this from?"

Yang Zhengshan laughed and said, "Naturally, it was snatched from the Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts' Blood. This is An Wusheng's Ten Thousand Ghosts' Blood Jade!"

"An Wusheng?" Xuanzhen didn't know who An Wusheng was.

"The Soul Control Hall Master of the Impermanent Ghost Sect is a powerful figure with the peak Golden Core cultivation!" Yang Zhengshan explained.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzhen's eyes lit up immediately. "A Golden Core cultivator! A True Monarch can actually snatch something from a Golden Core cultivator! Tsk tsk, a True Monarch is truly amazing!"

He gave Yang Zhengshan a thumbs-up, which seemed like a compliment, but Yang Zhengshan sensed a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want this thing or not?"

"Yes, yes, yes, how can I not want it!" Xuanzhen said eagerly. If it weren't for the strong bloody aura emanating from the blood jade, he would have wanted to hold it in his arms right now.

This thing is a great tonic for him. After purification, it can provide him with a large amount of pure mana and also improve his cultivation level.

He estimated that once he purified this blood jade, his cultivation would be close to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and after a few more years of preparation, he could try to form his core.

"Then purify it slowly!"

Yang Zhengshan tossed the Blood Jade to him and then left the Immortal Palace of Life.

He wanted to go to the Tianyun Sword Sect to ask about the situation of the Xiaxian Sect, mainly to ask if the Wanhua Seal had fallen into An Wusheng's hands.

A moment later, he arrived at the Jade Palace of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. Que Lingyu, Jian Changhe, and Yunxiao were all there, but True Monarch Baiyun had not yet returned. He wondered where that guy had gone; he had been gone for four months and still hadn't come back.

The three of them happened to be in the Jade Sky Palace. After Yang Zhengshan entered, he asked, "Senior Sister, how is the Xiaxian Sect doing?"

When Que Lingyu saw Yang Zhengshan return, a bright smile appeared on her face. "You weren't in any danger, were you?"

“No!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"That's good! The Xiaxian Sect has already been destroyed by An Wusheng!" Que Lingyu said.

"Where is Wanhua Seal?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Que Lingyu shook his head, then took out a feather fan. The fan was made of twelve tail feathers pieced together, each tail feather about one and a half feet long. The base of the feather was light gold, the body of the feather gradually turned into a flowing rosy color, and the tip of the feather shimmered with fine silver light, as if it were adorned with stars.

"In the end, Chixia threw out his three spiritual artifacts and the Myriad Flower Seal together. I was unlucky and failed to snatch the Myriad Flower Seal. I only managed to grab Chixia Zhenjun's natal spiritual artifact, Flowing Clouds and Feathers."

Que Lingyu was very frustrated. She had such a good opportunity, but she hadn't gotten the Wan Hua Seal.

Yang Zhengshan was slightly taken aback, not expecting this outcome.

He didn't ask who had Wan Hua's seal, but he felt sorry for Que Lingyu.

Because right now, apart from the person who obtained the Wanhua Seal, no one knows who has it.

"That's a pity!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly and asked again, "Didn't the Demon Court make a move?"

“No!” said Que Lingyu.

"What exactly is the Wanhua Demon Court doing? Why haven't they made a move at this point?" Jian Changhe asked.

Que Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "They should be consolidating their forces. The Wanhua Demon Court has never managed those demon races before. Now that they are going to war with the Wuchang Ghost Sect, they naturally need to consolidate the forces of those demon races first!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded in deep agreement. In the end, the Wanhua Demon Court was simply inactive. As the largest force in the Wanhua Mountains and the master of the Wanhua Mountains, they had never been able to establish dominance over the Wanhua Mountains.

Now that the time has come, it will probably take them a lot of time and effort to integrate the power of the demon race.

"Until the power of the demon race is fully integrated, I estimate they won't take the initiative to attack!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Que Lingyu stood up, waved her hand, and said, "Let's ignore them for now. During this period, we only need to keep an eye on the Wuchang Ghost Sect. As long as they don't target us, we don't need to pay attention to them!"

"You all stay here and oversee the sect. I'll keep an eye on the Impermanent Ghost Sect!"

After saying that, she transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the hall.

Then Yang Zhengshan, Jian Changhe, and Yunxiao also dispersed.
