Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1087 Heavenly Sword True Monarch
Inside the Hall of Longevity.

Yang Zhengshan distributed the orders he had received from Hengshan Sect one by one.

The second-tier pills were given to Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan, the magic weapons and artifacts to Yang Jizhen, the talismans to Cui Yang, and the flying boat to Ma Qiuyan. They would naturally lead their subordinate cultivators to fulfill these orders.

As for the third-tier pills, only Yang Zhengshan could personally make them.

However, to Yang Zhengshan's surprise, not long after he returned, someone from Wanbaohang came to his door.

The visitor was also an acquaintance of Yang Zhengshan, Li Deming, the eighth-rank manager of Wanxiang Tower of Wanbaohang in Baiyun Immortal City. However, Li Deming is now a seventh-rank manager and is also employed by Taoyuan Mountain.

"I am Li Deming, and I greet Guest Elder Yang!"

Inside the Anhe Hall side hall within the Yang Family Auspicious Land, Li Deming met Yang Zhengshan.

The Yang Family Blessed Land also has many palaces and pavilions, such as Chengfu Hall, Chuansong Hall, Anhe Hall, Songxiu Residence, Shuyan Pavilion, Zhuxi Pavilion, Yunlu Pavilion, etc.

In fact, Yang Family Blessed Land is more like a dwelling place for immortals, and there are indeed some immortal cultivators living there, but they are only stationed there.

Even so, the Yang Family Blessed Land still greatly shocked Li Deming.

When Yang Zhengshan first joined Wanbaohang, the Yang family was just a small immortal cultivation family in the Lingxiu Sea.

At that time, Li Deming looked down on the Yang family. He only came because Yang Zhengshan was an alchemist and he had some respect for him.

But now, Yang Zhengshan is a Golden Core cultivator, and the Yang family is an immortal clan.

The Yang Family Blessed Land is not only shrouded in a grand formation, but also has a third-tier spiritual vein, countless spiritual fields, spiritual springs, streams, and lakes, etc. Such a blessed land is already very much in line with the prestige of the immortal race.

In less than a century, the Yang family has developed to its current state, which truly shocked Li Deming.

"Haha, Manager Li, it's been decades since we last met. How have you been?" Yang Zhengshan warmly pulled Li Deming's arm and led him into the tea room next door.

"I am doing well, but I never expected that Guest Elder Yang has already embarked on the path of the Golden Core. I am truly envious!" Li Deming said with a sigh.

"Come, come, sit down. Manager Li, there's no need to be envious. I believe you can also embark on the path to the Golden Core!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Don't dare!"

"Sit down! We're old friends, there's no need to be so polite!"

Only then did Li Deming cautiously sit down opposite Yang Zhengshan.

Although they were old acquaintances, he didn't have much of a relationship with Yang Zhengshan. At the time, his interactions with Yang Zhengshan were just business dealings. They had met a few times, but they couldn't really be considered friends.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan didn't need to be so polite to him, but then again, one should consider the Buddha's feelings even if one doesn't respect the monk. Li Deming was clearly representing Wanbaohang, and it was either Zhong Liyue or Zhong Lixiayi who came.

The two sat down, tea was served, and Yang Zhengshan and Li Deming began to reminisce about the past.

Despite having spent a considerable amount of time at Wanbaohang in Baiyun Immortal City, he wasn't very familiar with the people there. The only person he knew was Zhongli Xiayi.

However, he still asked about the other people at Wanbaohang.

Decades have passed, and Wanbaohang from Baiyun Immortal City has moved to Zhenyang Immortal City. Most of the managers from that time are still in Zhenyang Immortal City.

The Zhenyang Immortal City changed hands several times, but it did not have a significant impact on Wanbaoxing.

However, many of the managers from that time have been replaced.

First, there was Situ Yuan, who had been guarding the treasure vault for a long time and had long since passed away. Before his death, he had also tried to form a golden core, but ultimately failed.

Secondly, there are Madam Zifang and Jiang Baishan, both of whom are still alive. Currently, Jiang Baishan is in charge of the affairs of Wanbaohang in Zhenyang Immortal City, while Madam Zifang has returned to Taoyuan Mountain.

Lady Zifang was not an ordinary steward; she was Zhongli Yue's close attendant and came from a collateral branch of the Zhongli family.

Back then, Lady Zifang captured and killed a demon king with a magical artifact, which left a deep impression on Yang Zhengshan.

Unfortunately, Yang Zhengshan did not know this old woman. He visited Taoyuan Mountain several times but did not meet Lady Ziteng, because Lady Ziteng was mainly in charge of the market town at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain.

After catching up, Li Deming finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

He was indeed sent on orders, specifically by Zhongli Yue.

"Guest Minister Yang, this is a letter that Lord Zhongli asked me to deliver to you!"

Li Deming handed a jade slip to Yang Zhengshan, who glanced at its contents.

Zhongli Yue sent Li Deming here because of the matter he had previously sought out Zhongli Xiayi.

First, there's Yang Zhengshan and Zhong Lixia's Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat. Zhong Liyue asked him to send someone to Taoyuan Mountain as soon as possible.

Secondly, he had Li Deming deliver a list of goods, including various pills, talismans, magic weapons, and so on, which was Wanbaohang's acquisition list. At the same time, there was also a list of various spiritual herbs, fruits, ores, and so on, which was Wanbaohang's sales list.

It means cooperating with the Yang family, having them provide various elixirs, talismans, and magical treasures, while the Wanbao Guild will exchange spiritual herbs, fruits, ores, and spirit stones for payment.

This is another big deal.

The Hengshan Sect and Wanbaohang are enough to consume all of the Yang family's output, and the Yang family may even need to increase its manufacturing speed.

"I understand about this matter. Fortunately, the two Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats are ready. Steward Li can accompany them to Peach Abyss Mountain!" Yang Zhengshan did not refuse Zhongli Yue's kindness.

The Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats are all readily available. There are currently twelve Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats in the Spirit Source Land, which can be sent to Wanbaohang and Hengshan Sect first.

Don't send them separately, just send them all together.

Additionally, some of the inventory from the Spirit Source Land can be taken out and sent to Wanbaohang and Hengshan Sect.

Yang Zhengshan summoned Yunxiao and asked him to personally escort him.

A few days later, a large fleet set off from Yangjiafu.

Four Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats and twelve Blazing Sun Golden Boats, carrying large quantities of elixirs, talismans, magical treasures, and artifacts, sailed eastward.

Starting from Yangjiafu Land, passing through Taoyuan Mountain, and finally arriving at Hengshan Sect, it requires a long flight of more than 100,000 li, and the journey is not peaceful.

Therefore, the Spirit Source Land dispatched a powerful escort force, with Yunxiao personally leading the team, as well as a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators including Ding Qiu, Hong Fuxiu, Li Jianning, Li Jianan, Yang Qinghua, and Lin Pingyang.

The fleet's departure from Yangjiafu Land naturally did not escape the attention of those who were interested, and soon the news of the fleet's departure from Yangjiafu Land spread to all sides.

The Yang Family Blessed Land has been closed for more than ten years. This is the first time the Yang Family has appeared in public since the Battle of the Natural True Yang Immortal City, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.

The Yang Family Blessed Land represents not only the Yang family, but primarily Yang Zhengshan's actions.

The reopening of Yang Family Auspicious Land means that Yang Zhengshan will return to public life.

After the news spread, different forces reacted differently.

First, there's the Lingxiu Sea. The Wuzhen Dao Palace has already withdrawn, leaving only the Xuanqing Sect and the Huanyue Sect. However, the number of martial arts families in the Lingxiu Sea has increased, with over thirty Golden Body Realm martial artists. This is because the Yang family previously sold a large amount of resources in the Lingxiu Sea.

Among them are many second-tier spirit ores and spirit fruits. These spirit ores and spirit fruits will give many innate martial artists the opportunity to forge their spirit foundation and form a golden body, thus enabling many people in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty to become Golden Body Realm martial artists.

However, the current level of the Spirit Sea is clearly not high enough for the Yang family. Ordinary Golden Body Realm martial artists are not qualified to deal with the Yang family.

Of course, there are still some people who can maintain a relationship with the Yang family. After all, Yang Zhengshan had many friends in the Lingxiu Sea back then, and most of these people are still around today.

After news of activity at the Yang Family Blessed Land spread throughout the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, many people began to have ulterior motives.

Inside the Mirror Abyss Pavilion of the Illusion Moon Sect.

Yue'e looked at the people present, but her thoughts had wandered off somewhere else.

At this moment, Yue'e looked much older than before. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could no longer be smoothed out, and the white hair at her temples could not be concealed. Even her clear and cold eyes had become a little cloudy.

Although Yang Zhengshan rescued her back then, her sea of ​​consciousness was severely damaged and has not fully recovered to this day.

Over the past few decades, her cultivation has not only failed to improve but has actually declined significantly, and even her lifespan has been shortened considerably.

Now she looks like she's nearing the end of her life, and can no longer hide the signs of aging in her body.

"Senior Yue'e, when do you think we should head to the Yang Family Blessed Land?"

Inside the pavilion, everyone's eyes were on Yue'e, and it was Chu Lingxiao who spoke.

There were eight people present, all of whom were acquaintances of Yang Zhengshan: Yue'e, Yueqing, and Jingshui Zhenren from the Huanyue Sect; Lin Daoyuan, Chu Lingxiao, and Yunxi Zhenren from the Xuanqing Sect; as well as Lu Fusheng and Lan Peng.

After the Yang family closed the Yang Family Blessed Land, Hidden Sword Mountain and Azure Feather Mountain also closed down, and the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty once again fell into a state of being neither loved nor cared for.

Even the Guest Hall on Mianyun Continent was abandoned by Cangjian Mountain.

The reason they gathered here was that they wanted to go to Yangjiafudi and ask to see Yang Zhengshan.

The Tianyun Sword Sect was shattered, and the Yang family, Cangjian Mountain, and Cangyu Mountain successively closed their mountains, plunging the entire Lingxiu Sea into panic.

In fact, they had tried to see Jian Changhe before, but they were turned away by Cangjian Mountain.

They now want to see Yang Zhengshan, which is why Lu Fusheng and Lan Peng are here.

In terms of strength, Lu Fusheng and Lan Peng are still only Golden Body Realm martial artists and are not qualified to sit here at all, but they have a deep friendship with Yang Zhengshan.

The Illusion Moon Sect and the Profound Purity Sect wanted to see Yang Zhengshan, so they brought Lu Fusheng and Lan Peng along, hoping that Yang Zhengshan would grant them an audience out of consideration for their past friendship.

Yue'e snapped out of her reverie and said, "Let's set off tomorrow! You can all go together!"

"Aren't you going, senior?" Chu Lingxiao asked.

Yue'e shook her head, "I'll pass, let Master Jingshui take you there!"

Lin Daoyuan, who was sitting next to him, nodded, "Yes, Yunxi will be with you too."

They are relics of the old era, and this world has no future for them. Therefore, they do not want to get involved in the future. At this moment, they only want to protect the Illusion Moon Sect and the Profound Purity Sect.

Jing Shui stood up and said with a relaxed expression, "Alright, let's set off tomorrow!"

Among everyone present, he was the strongest, even stronger than Yue'e and Lin Daoyuan.

Although Chu Lingxiao is now also a Divine Soul Realm martial artist, she is far inferior to True Person Jingshui.

Furthermore, Master Jingshui and Yang Zhengshan have a close relationship, so it would be appropriate for him to lead a team to request an audience.

After discussing it, the group decided to go to Yangjiafudi the next day to see Yang Zhengshan.

……

Hidden Sword Mountain, a place where the peaks rise steeply.

A young man leaned lazily against a pine tree, while Que Lingyu looked at him with a helpless expression.

"Haha, little sparrow, why are you looking at me like that?" the man laughed.

"True Lord, don't you want to see Yang Zhengshan?" Que Lingyu asked.

The man before them was Heavenly Sword True Monarch. After possessing the body, Heavenly Sword True Monarch possessed a young body and a powerful divine soul. Although his cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength was extremely terrifying.

Back then, his soul had just been revived when he was able to kill Leng Xuan with a single sword strike. Now, not only does he have a physical body, but he has also resumed his cultivation, making him much stronger than before.

"I want to see you, but not now," said Tianjian Zhenjun with a grin, looking like a mischievous boy.

"Why?" Que Lingyu asked, puzzled.

She still had a good impression of Yang Zhengshan. When Yang Zhengshan was in the Tianyun Sword Sect, he had no flaws in his conduct and dealings with others. Both Baiyun Zhenjun and Que Lingyu trusted him greatly.

As for the matter of Yang Zhengshan undermining the Tianyun Sword Sect after Baiyun Zhenjun's disappearance, that's nothing at all.

It's highly likely that True Lord Baiyun died in battle, and the Tianyun Sword Sect is on the verge of collapse. As one of the leaders of the Tianyun Sword Sect, what's wrong with Yang Zhengshan taking some of his subordinates with him?
Heavenly Sword True Monarch stood up, leaped onto a green pine tree, and stood on the treetop, gazing at the distant sea of ​​clouds and hazy mountains.

"Because we haven't reached the final stage of the power struggle yet!"

"I need to lie low for now and wait for the final opportunity!"

Although he has been reborn, his strength has not yet returned to its peak, and even if he does, he is not confident that he can seize the last opportunity.

Possessing another body for rebirth is not without its price. The price he paid was that his lifespan in this life would not exceed a thousand years, and his true spirit suffered some damage.

Although this injury doesn't have a significant impact on him now, he is unable to possess another body and be reborn.

In other words, he only has this one chance; if he fails this time, he will die of old age.

There is an even more crucial question: if even he can be reborn through possession, can those ancient beings also be given a second life?
When facing those ancient relics that have lived for countless years, Heavenly Sword True Lord must be cautious.

Therefore, he must hide himself until the final opportunity arises.

The reason why Hidden Sword Mountain and Azure Feather Mountain were closed was not because the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect suffered a great defeat in True Yang Immortal City, but because he returned to Hidden Sword Mountain and ordered the closure of Hidden Sword Mountain and Azure Feather Mountain in order to hide himself.

Upon hearing this, Que Lingyu stopped dwelling on why Tianjian Zhenjun had not seen Yang Zhengshan and instead asked, "What exactly is this power struggle?"

Heavenly Sword True Monarch gazed into the distance, “A path to becoming a Dao Lord!”

Que Lingyu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
