Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1089 Comeback
"Yunxi, why don't you stay here a few more days? Fellow Daoist Yunxiao has gone out and probably won't be back for a while!"

After chatting with Jingshui for a while, Yang Zhengshan looked at Yunxi.

Yunxi is Yunxiao's junior sister, but she is more like Yunxiao's apprentice, someone Yunxiao personally taught.

"Is this okay?" Yunxi asked, somewhat tempted.

In fact, her real purpose in coming here was to seek refuge with Yunxiao. To be precise, she had wanted to seek refuge with Yunxiao before, but Yunxi was a guest elder of Cangjian Mountain before, and Yunxi did not dare to openly leave Cangjian Mountain. Yunxiao also considered the face of Cangjian Mountain and did not allow Yunxi to join the Yang family.

Now, Hidden Sword Mountain has abandoned the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty and also abandoned Yunxi, the guest elder, which is why Yunxi has such thoughts again.

"Of course, you can stay here as long as you want!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll wait here for my senior brother to return!" Yunxi said happily.

Then Yang Zhengshan chatted with Lu Fusheng and Lan Peng. Actually, there wasn't much to talk about. The gap between the two sides was too big, and they no longer had any common topics. The only common topic was nostalgia, but they couldn't talk about nostalgia for too long.

After chatting for a while, Yang Zhengshan learned the purpose of their visit.

Their real purpose was to ask where the Lingxiu Sea should go from here.

The Yang family abandoned their businesses in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, and even the former Wuzhen Dao Palace was shut down.

Hidden Sword Mountain also abandoned the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, which has now once again become the territory of Xuanqing Sect and Huanyue Sect. But the problem is, after all that has happened, how dare Xuanqing Sect and Huanyue Sect occupy the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty?

They still hoped that Hidden Sword Mountain could take control of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty; if Hidden Sword Mountain couldn't, the Yang family could.

This is not because they enjoy being subordinate to others, but for the safety and stability of the Lingxiu Sea.

The Western Regions of Wanhua are not peaceful these days. The forces around the Yunxiao Mountains are constantly fighting each other. They are afraid that someone will covet the Lingxiu Sea again, so they want to find a powerful ally.

Unable to ascend Hidden Sword Mountain, they turned their attention to the Yang family.

After listening to their needs, Yang Zhengshan fell into deep thought. The reason he withdrew all his manpower from the Spirit Source Land was because the war situation between the Impermanent Ghost Sect and the Myriad Flower Demon Court was unclear. The Impermanent Ghost Sect was likely to launch an attack on the Cloud Soaring Mountains. That's why he gathered his manpower to prevent being drawn into the war again.

However, the war between the Impermanent Ghost Sect and the Myriad Flower Demon Court has now entered a stalemate. Although the Impermanent Ghost Sect may make a comeback, it will certainly not affect the Cloud Mountain Range or the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty in the short term.

However, now is not the time for Lingyuan Land to show off. The war in Wanhua Mountain Range will break out again, and the conflicts in Wanhua Western Region will continue. What Lingyuan Land needs now is not to participate in those wars, but to steadily earn resources and steadily improve its strength.

Moreover, there is no need for the Spirit Origin Land to relocate to the Spirit Beauty Sea. Although the Spirit Beauty Sea has some low-level resources that the Spirit Origin Land needs, those low-level resources are not worth the Spirit Origin Land spending too much effort and time on.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Zhengshan looked up at Master Jingshui and said, "At present, my Yang family cannot settle in the Lingxiu Sea. However, the Lingxiu Sea can use my Yang family's name to protect itself. In addition, my Yang family also needs some resources from the Lingxiu Sea. In the future, my Yang family will regularly send fleets to Huanyue Sect and Xuanqing Sect to purchase various resources."

The Illusion Moon Sect and the Profound Purity Sect only need protection; they don't need the Yang family to intervene. They only need protection in the name of the Yang family.

The Yang family's current prestige is enough to deter all the petty villains around the Lingxiu Sea. As long as the Yang family's flag is raised over the Lingxiu Sea, it is believed that not many people will dare to run wild there.

As for resource trading, it's even simpler. The Yang family will no longer engage in business; they will only maintain trade relations with the Xuanqing Sect and the Huanyue Sect.

This will make things easier and less stressful for the Yang family.

"What do you think of this?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

After thinking for a moment, Master Jingshui said, "It is our honor that the True Lord is willing to protect us, and we are willing to follow the True Lord's decree!"

His thinking was simple: as long as the Yang family hadn't completely abandoned the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, that was fine. He didn't care much about anything else.

Actually, he really wanted to join the Yang family, but unfortunately his situation was a bit special, and the Yang family might not need him.

Moreover, the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty is currently in a very special period, and he cannot abandon everything in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty to join the Yang family.

Ultimately, he had deep feelings for the Illusion Moon Sect and was reluctant to leave it.

Jing Shui is different from Yun Xiao. Although Yun Xiao is also a member of the Xuanqing Sect, he was not valued in the sect and was even ostracized.

In contrast, although the Illusion Moon Sect was also wary of immortal cultivators at the time, everyone in the sect respected True Person Mirror Water and never stopped supporting Wangyue Mountain.

Therefore, Jing Shui has a deeper affection for the Illusion Moon Sect and cannot bear to part with it, while Yun Xiao is able to let go of the Profound Purity Sect and leave it.

"That's good! I'll send someone to discuss the specifics with you." Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan hosted a banquet for everyone. During the banquet, Lu Fusheng mentioned that a spiritual talent had appeared in their Lu family and wanted to become a disciple of the Yang family.

Yang Zhengshan readily agreed, as the more spiritual apertures the better.

Moreover, once you enter the Spirit Source Land, you become a member of Baiyujing.

The next day, Jingshui and the others left, leaving only Yunxi behind at Zhuxi Pavilion, where she was waiting for Yunxiao to return.

Watching them leave, Yang Zhengshan said to Yang Qingyu, "Find a place to build a mountain gate, so that outsiders won't have trouble finding it!"

“Build another Yingxian Pavilion behind the mountain gate to temporarily receive guests.”

He thought the way Hengshan Sect welcomed guests was very good. Since the sect's residence was not suitable for outsiders to enter at will, he suggested building a welcoming pavilion at the mountain gate. If they were acquaintances, they could be invited to enter the sect's residence or even the cave.

The incident at the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty was just a minor episode. Yang Zhengshan made arrangements and quickly put it out of his mind, turning his energy and strength back to his alchemy endeavors.

This time, Hengshan Sect ordered a lot of pills that he had never refined before, including Pure Yang Yuan Pills to replenish Yang Qi, Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pills to treat injuries, and Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pills to save lives in a crisis. There were more than a dozen unfamiliar third-order pills.

If Yang Zhengshan can improve his proficiency in all these third-tier pills, his alchemy skills will improve significantly, and he will be almost confident in refining the Evergreen Pill.

If his cultivation could advance further and his understanding of the divine principles could deepen, then he might be able to try the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

Because of this, Yang Zhengshan is now very enthusiastic about refining pills. Apart from basic cultivation, he devotes almost all his time and energy to pill refining.

At the same time, Yunxiao returned from Hengshan Sect. The transaction went very smoothly. Wanbaohang accepted most of the goods they sent, and Hengshan Sect also accepted the first batch of goods they sent, and placed another order for ten Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats and one hundred Flaming Sun Golden Boats.

Yunxiao witnessed firsthand the wealth and power of Hengshan Sect, which ordered over 100 million spirit stones worth of flying boats in one go. They also indicated that this was only the first batch and that they would order more flying boats from the Yang family in the future.

Bai Yujing can earn a large sum of spirit stones from this order alone.

With Hengshan Sect and Wanbao Trading Company as trading partners, the Spirit Source Land will no longer lack low-level resources and spirit stones.

Moreover, the flying boat manufacturing industry in the Land of Spirit Origin can also expand on a large scale.

As time passed, the Land of Spiritual Origin once again entered a period of stable and continuous development.

However, compared to the stability of the Spirit Source Land, the turmoil in the outside world is increasing.

In the spring of the 168th year of Lingyuan, the Impermanent Ghost Sect once again dispatched a large army of Yin soldiers to the Wanhua Mountains. Unlike the last time, this time the Impermanent Ghost Sect made almost no attempt to conceal their actions, openly and brazenly deploying troops to the Wanhua Mountains. Hundreds of skeletal flying boats sailed majestically through the clouds, their dense Yin energy transforming into a vast expanse of dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

One after another, flying boats landed in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountains. Dense Yin energy spread outwards from the flying boats, constantly infecting the vibrant mountain forests.

If viewed from the air, one would see many black spots appearing in the Wanhua Mountains, which stretch for tens of thousands of miles. Moreover, these spots are constantly expanding, as if a virus has invaded, relentlessly devouring the lush greenery of the mountains and forests.

Numerous black spots bloomed across the northern region of the Wanhua Mountains, while the Wanhua Demon Court retreated repeatedly, all the way to the south of Zhenyang Immortal City.

High in the sky, Yang Zhengshan stood suspended in the air, his robes fluttering in the howling wind.

Looking down, his gaze pierced through the thick clouds, gazing at the boundless mountains and forests, his expression extremely solemn.

He had already received the news after the Wuchang Ghost Sect launched a large-scale attack. He originally thought that the Wuchang Ghost Sect would take a slow and gradual approach, slowly eroding the Wanhua Mountain Range. But now it seems that the Wuchang Ghost Sect intends to eliminate the Wanhua Demon Court once and for all.

Looking down at the areas shrouded in Yin energy, Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly.

"They're going to attack White Cloud Immortal City!"

At this moment, he was in the sky above Baiyun Immortal City, and he could clearly see three areas shrouded in Yin energy to the east of Baiyun Immortal City.

The other skeletal flying boats were scattered evenly throughout the mountains and forests, except for three skeletal flying boats that were gathered in the east of White Cloud Immortal City.

The bone flying boats of the Impermanent Ghost Sect are not all made of dragon bones; they also contain the bones of other giant beasts. They use these giant beast bones as the structure of their flying boats to create them.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know much about these flying boats, but he could guess that they probably had the same formation as the giant white bone pillars, capable of transforming an area into a place of yin and evil.

The Impermanent Ghost Sect has now deployed three skeletal flying boats near White Cloud Immortal City. Clearly, they intend to take White Cloud Immortal City first.

It seems that An Wusheng harbored a grudge against the Tianyun Sword Sect after the last battle at Zhenyang Immortal City.

This is normal. If the Tianyun Sword Sect hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have fallen for the Wanhua Demon Court's feint attack.

Although the Tianyun Sword Sect was abandoned in that battle and suffered heavy casualties, the Wuchang Ghost Sect actually suffered the greatest loss. There was only one true victor, and that was the Wanhua Demon Court.

"Sigh~" Yang Zhengshan sighed softly as he looked at the hazy Baiyun Immortal City.

Baiyun Immortal City will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Wuchang Ghost Sect. Once the Wuchang Ghost Sect launches an attack, Baiyun Immortal City will surely be destroyed.

Faced with the life-or-death crisis of Baiyun Immortal City, how could he stand idly by?
He could leave Baiyun Immortal City, or even undermine it, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the Baiyun lineage be destroyed by the Wuchang Ghost Sect.

The Baiyun Daoist lineage is the legacy of Baiyun Zhenjun, who is his senior brother. He acknowledges this senior brother with utmost sincerity, without any intention of compromise or resentment.

Yang Zhengshan flashed and transformed into a streak of light, flying into Baiyun Immortal City.

Inside the familiar Jade Palace, everything had changed; that familiar figure was no longer there.

Yang Zhengshan stood inside the hall, looking at the five empty seats above, a look of nostalgia on his face.

Unfortunately, the Tianyun Sword Sect has only existed for a few decades. Although everyone has come together, they have not yet formed a deep friendship or a closer relationship based on shared interests.

If the Tianyun Sword Sect can maintain itself for more than a hundred years, then neither he nor Jian Changhe will easily leave.

Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient close ties of interest; the Tianyun Sword Sect failed to integrate the forces of Cangjian Mountain, Cangyu Mountain, and the Yang family.

"Yang Zhenjun!"

Just then, a surprised voice rang out, and Yun Fan and Yun Bi stood in front of the Jade Palace.

Yang Zhengshan turned around, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Where is Yun Ge?"

Yunfan and Yunbi showed complicated expressions. Yunfan said, "Senior brother is in seclusion!"

Yang Zhengshan released his spiritual sense to examine everything around him, and Yun Fan and Yun Bi both showed nervous expressions.

Yang Zhengshan quickly found the place where Yun Ge was in seclusion. The secret room was protected by an array, but the array could not block Yang Zhengshan's spiritual sense.

He sighed again, "He failed!"

Yun Ge was clearly forming his core, but unfortunately he was on the verge of failure. If he continued, he would only perish. However, if he stopped now, he would still die.

That's fate, and no one can change it.

Yunfan was taken aback, then a look of sadness appeared on his face.

Yun Bi's face also looked rather grim; Yang Zhengshan's words had shattered their last hope.

“You should abandon White Cloud Immortal City and move to Azure Glass Immortal City first!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"Why?" Yunfan asked in a low voice.

Yang Zhengshan looked up at him and knew that he harbored resentment.

That's right. After Baiyun Zhenjun disappeared, they were like abandoned children with no one to rely on. They had placed their hopes on Yun Ge, but Yang Zhengshan shattered those hopes. How could they not resent him?
It's just resentment, not hatred, which is already quite good.

“The Impermanent Ghost Sect is about to attack White Cloud Immortal City. If you stay here, you will only face death. Move to Azure Glass Immortal City and preserve your senior brother’s lineage. That is what you should do!” Yang Zhengshan explained.

Yunfan fell silent. He was somewhat stubborn. Although he thought Yang Zhengshan was right, he was still unwilling to give up Baiyun Immortal City.

Yun Bi bowed deeply, "Thank you for your guidance, True Lord Yang. We will move out of White Cloud Immortal City as soon as possible!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yun Bi and nodded slightly, "Senior Brother's lineage still needs you to carry it on. I don't want to see Senior Brother's lineage die out!"

There wasn't much he could do to help True Monarch Baiyun; the only thing he could do was ensure that the Baiyun lineage could be passed down.

Moving to Qingli Immortal City had many advantages for Yunfan and his group. First, it was far away from the Wanhua Mountain Range, a major battlefield. Second, Qingli Immortal City was located near Cangjian Mountain and Cangyu Mountain. If the Wuchang Ghost Sect wanted to swallow up the Yunxiao Mountain Range, Cangjian Mountain and Cangyu Mountain would be there to block their way. Finally, the situation in Qingli Immortal City was much simpler than in Baiyun Immortal City, where there was constant strife.

Although living in a remote corner may prevent them from accessing more resources, it can ensure their safety and stability.

“Yes!” Yun Bi replied.

"Hurry up, you don't have much time left!"

Yang Zhengshan left with a single sentence and then disappeared from the main hall.
