Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1078 Recruiting Immortal Cultivation Families
A few days later, Kota returned from Baiyun Immortal City, bringing back the sect's seal of Tianyun Sword Sect.

"True Lord, this is the sect's protective seal." Kota presented a small square seal to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan took the seal, turned it over, and looked at it. It had eight large characters written on it: "The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, Passed Down Through Time."

The so-called Hunyuan Daotong is the root of the path of immortal cultivation. It means the origin of the Great Dao when "heaven and earth were not separated and all things returned to one". It refers to the natural laws that trace back to the beginning of chaos. It is the ultimate principle of cultivation summarized by seekers of the Dao from the operation of heaven and earth.

"Hun Yuan" is the origin of heaven and earth and all things, which is also known as the Dao.

All sects in the Wanhua Domain cultivate the Primordial Chaos Dao, and the Tianyun Sword Sect is no exception.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's Sect-Protecting Seal is merely a magical artifact. Although it is a treasure representing the sect's destiny, its symbolic significance far outweighs its practical use.

However, as a sect, it cannot function without this, because it represents the recognition of the sect's heritage by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Since Yang Zhengshan wanted to establish Baiyujing, he naturally needed a sect seal.

He was too lazy to refine it himself, mainly because he didn't want to spend the time and energy to handle the establishment of the sect and the ceremony. Since he happened to have the sect seal of the Tianyun Sword Sect, he simply used it.

If it were a sect with a long history, it would naturally not be able to borrow their sect seal, but the Tianyun Sword Sect could, because the Tianyun Sword Sect was established relatively recently, and the sect's Daoist essence contained in its sect seal was still very weak and not worth mentioning. It would only take a period of time to transform it into the sect seal of Baiyujing.

"They didn't stop us, did they?" Yang Zhengshan asked casually as he put away the Zhenzong Seal.

He plans to place this item in the back hall of the Hall of Longevity for worship, and from now on, it will be the most prized treasure of Baiyujing.

"No, Yun Ge has gone into seclusion to form his core. Yun Fan is currently in charge of affairs in Baiyun Immortal City," Kota replied.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and said casually, "I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work!"

"Here!"

Kota responded and then left the Hall of Longevity.

After leaving the Hall of Longevity, he did not stay in the Immortal Palace of Life Realm, but went to the White Cloud Immortal City. However, this time he did not go to ask for anything, but to recruit immortal cultivation families.

For several months in a row, he visited the Luo family, the Wen family, the Shen family, and the Mu family.

In the battle of Zhenyang Immortal City, many immortal cultivation families in Baiyun Immortal City also suffered heavy losses, especially the several major families that had once relied on the Baiyun Dao lineage. The casualties this time can be described as appalling.

The Luo, Wen, Shen, and Mu families alone lost nine Foundation Establishment cultivators in battle, with nearly half of their high-ranking members perishing on the battlefield.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad; these four families could afford such a loss.

What they truly could not bear was the disappearance of True Lord Baiyun.

With True Lord Baiyun around, they can rise again no matter how great their losses are.

Even though they remain the top immortal cultivation families near Baiyun Immortal City, they would still feel uneasy without the presence of True Monarch Baiyun.

Therefore, after the battle of Zhenyang Immortal City ended, they fell into panic.

At first, they were able to maintain the situation, but as True Monarch Baiyun failed to return for a long time, they became increasingly worried about the future of Baiyun Immortal City.

Kota's goal was to recruit them to join the Land of Spirits. At first, they were unwilling, but as time went on, they eventually chose to join the Land of Spirits.

It's not that they lack morality, but they had to make this choice for the sake of family lineage.

With the loss of True Lord Baiyun, Baiyun Immortal City is on the verge of collapse.

Furthermore, with the threat from the Impermanent Ghost Sect still present, they had no choice but to stay away from White Cloud Immortal City.

Even without Kota's recruitment, they would still choose to move away from Baiyun Immortal City. Perhaps they would move to Qingli Immortal City, or perhaps they would retain a force in Baiyun Immortal City. In any case, they would move the core of their family away from Baiyun Immortal City.

Now, with the invitation from the Land of Spiritual Origin, after some hesitation and discussion, they naturally joined the Land of Spiritual Origin.

After all, the Spirit Source Land still has Yang Zhengshan, a Golden Core True Monarch, to rely on.

And so, the four families migrated to the land of spiritual origin one after another.

With the addition of these four families, the foundation of the Spirit Origin Land has been greatly enhanced.

It's a significant improvement in foundation, not strength.

Although these four families still possess considerable strength, they are insignificant compared to the Spirit Origin Land, given that the current Shengjing Immortal Palace boasts three Golden Core cultivators and one Demon King.

On the contrary, these four families have a profound foundation, especially in the various arts of immortal cultivation, where they all have extraordinary attainments.

For example, the Luo family is skilled in array formations, the Wen family is skilled in talismans, the Shen family is skilled in raising demonic beasts, and the Mu family is skilled in weapon crafting.

Perhaps they are not as good as the Land of Spiritual Origin in every aspect, but with their addition, the cultivation of immortals in the Land of Spiritual Origin will be more complete.

Moreover, all four families are ancient immortal cultivation families with a history of thousands of years. Their members have a high probability of possessing spiritual apertures, and their addition will increase the probability of spiritual apertures appearing in the Spirit Source Land. ...

It is still the Hall of Longevity.

Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat, with ten Foundation Establishment cultivators from four families below him.

There were many familiar faces among them, including Luo Cheng, Luo Fengxia, Shen Ming, Wen Yu, Wen Qiao, and Mu Xuan. Although Yang Zhengshan wasn't particularly familiar with them, he had seen them at least a few times.

"Meet the true king!"

The crowd bowed in unison.

At this moment, they were filled with shock.

Because they had always stayed in the Spirit Source Land, today was their first time entering the Immortal Palace.

The mere existence of the Spirit Source Land was enough to shock them, but the existence of the Immortal Palace was even more unbelievable.

"No need for formalities!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

"Thank you, True Lord!" Everyone straightened up and stood respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan's gaze swept over each of them, and then he said, "Since you have chosen to join Baiyujing, you must abide by Baiyujing's laws and rules."

"Baiyujing has many laws and regulations, but I guarantee that every single one will be fair and just!"

"Let me make this clear from the start: if anyone violates the laws of Baiyujing and is punished, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Baiyujing refers to the sect, which includes the entire Shengjing Immortal Palace and all its members.

Whether they are immortal cultivators or martial artists, they will all become disciples of Baiyujing in the future.

As for the laws and regulations of Baiyujing, there's really nothing else to it; they're just some standard rules, and many dynasties and sects have similar laws.

There was actually only one rule that Yang Zhengshan mentioned.

That is, in the Land of Spiritual Origin, there are no families, clans, or immortal races, only sects.

The Spirit Origin Land has always had a policy of family division, and under this policy, the influence of families in the Spirit Origin Land has been reduced to the minimum.

It could even be said that apart from the Yang family, there are no other families in the Spirit Origin Land.

The Yang family has now been divided into many branches and scattered throughout the Spirit Source Land, and has lost the concept of a family.

In the land of spiritual origin, the only race is the demon race, mainly composed of blue wolves and golden-feathered fire crows. Only they maintain the concept of race.

However, the demon race will never become the main body of the Spirit Source Land.

Since these four families have joined the Land of Spiritual Origin, Yang Zhengshan naturally intends to break them up.

In the short term, they still have a concept of family, but over time, their concept of family will fade, leaving only individual small families, and they will no longer have a family.

"We will obey the True Lord's decree!" The crowd responded in unison without any objection.

They had nothing to say in response. Once they entered the Land of Spiritual Origin, they had no chance to back out.

Their only option now is to integrate into the Land of Spirit Origin and become a part of it.

"Well then, you shall follow our arrangements!"

"Chengmao!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and called out.

"Your grandson is here!" Yang Chengmao hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Assign them accommodations as soon as possible and help them integrate into the Spirit Source Land," Yang Zhengshan said.

The four families have a total population of over 8,000, including many ordinary people in addition to those who cultivate immortality.

Since Yang Zhengshan wanted to break them up, he naturally had to treat them differently.

Ordinary people would be assigned to villages and towns around the city, given land, and allowed to cultivate it.

The Immortal Cultivators Association assigned them to the Jingxuan Hall, gave them work, and ensured they had something to do.
