Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1114 Myriad Treasures Immortal City
Pei Lun listened to Yang Zhengshan's words and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Does the True Lord have any instructions?"

"Please advise me, haha, you're a smart person, and I'm happy to chat with you casually!"

"My advice is to abandon most of the clansmen and allow a few outstanding ones to grow!"

"No destruction, no construction; destruction before construction. Only in this way will your Pei family have a chance to rise again!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at him with a smile, waiting for his choice.

Destroying the old before building the new sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do because it means that most of the Pei family members will die.

As for how to do it, it's very simple. As long as Yang Zhengshan leaves, and Pei Lun dies, the Pei family will inevitably be wiped out by the surrounding neighbors.

At that time, Yang Zhengshan will only need to protect a few immortal cultivators.

The calamity of their clan's extermination will make them grow rapidly, hatred will provide them with the motivation to cultivate, and revenge will become their most steadfast goal.

With these, they have the foundation to become strong.

Pei Lun's expression shifted between light and dark.

“If you don’t want this, I can protect your Pei family for a hundred years without any problem. I will arrange for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be stationed here and spread the word that the surrounding forces will not make things difficult for your Pei family!” Yang Zhengshan continued.

Arranging a Foundation Establishment cultivator to stay here is easy for Yang Zhengshan. There are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators idle in the Spirit Source Land now, so it's a good opportunity to find them something to do.

The rotation is every three years; even a hundred years wouldn't be enough for everyone to go through a full cycle.

Of course, it would be easier to destroy the Pei family first and then rebuild it. Pei Lun only has less than a year left to live. Yang Zhengshan only needs to arrange for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to come over. After a year, when the Pei family is destroyed, he can take a few Pei family members back with him.

You don't need too many, two or three will be enough.

As for whether they can make the Pei family rise again, that's not something Yang Zhengshan should worry about.

Seeing his hesitation, Yang Zhengshan said no more and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Peijia Town is beautiful, full of antique charm, and has many sacred trees that are lush and vibrant.

However, the atmosphere in Pei Family Town was very oppressive. The family had been passed down for too long, which led to the rigidity of the internal system, and many family members lost the opportunity to be promoted.

Pei Lun has protected the Pei family, but he is also a cancer within the family. He runs the Pei family like a dictator, taking care of his own descendants. He bears a large part of the responsibility for the fact that no Foundation Establishment cultivator has appeared in the Pei family for so many years.

Therefore, dictatorship is unacceptable.

Yang Zhengshan disliked dictatorship. He only cared about the general direction and the tone set for the Lingyuan Land. He preferred to be a hands-off manager and delegate things to his subordinates. Although he would take care of his children and grandchildren, he would act according to the rules he set, rather than doing whatever he wanted.

Pei Lun considered it for a long time, so long that Yang Zhengshan was about to leave. Yang Zhengshan didn't want to waste time here. Although he wasn't in a hurry to go to Wanbao Immortal City, he couldn't waste his time here.

"My Lord, may I ask where you come from?"

“The Yang family of the Western Regions!” Yang Zhengshan replied.

"Western Region?"

“That’s right, the Western Regions are in a lot of chaos right now, so I came to the Central Regions to take a look,” Yang Zhengshan said casually.

Pei Lun's mind raced, and he said, "I wonder if the True Lord would be willing to select two disciples from my Pei family?"

Yang Zhengshan looked at him with a half-smile, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

Apprentice?

How could he possibly take on apprentices now?
Besides, even if he were to take on disciples, there are so many people in the Spirit Source Land, why would he need to select disciples from the Pei family?
"Forget about taking on apprentices, tell me your choice!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

Pei Lun showed a disappointed expression, but his disappointment was fleeting; even he himself knew that such a thought was somewhat wishful thinking.

"I choose to break down the old and build anew!" he said with a firm expression.

This is a choice made out of necessity, a choice made out of helplessness.

It's better to break down and rebuild than to be wiped out entirely.

Although Yang Zhengshan could protect the Pei family for a hundred years, after a hundred years, the Pei family still could not escape the fate of being wiped out.

Rather than waiting to be wiped out, it's better to leave a few descendants for the Pei family, so that the Pei family might be able to rise again in the future.

"Alright! In that case, you can arrange the rest yourself!"

Yang Zhengshan slowly stood up.

"What is this, Lord Zhenjun?"

"I have something to do, I need to go to Wanbao Immortal City first!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"What about my Pei family's affairs?" Pei Lun asked with some concern.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, and a figure immediately appeared beside him.

"Greetings, True Lord!" Jing Shui came out and saw Yang Zhengshan, so he quickly bowed.

Yang Zhengshan had just communicated with him telepathically, instructing him to come and stay at the Pei family for ten years.

Jing Shui now possesses dual cultivation levels: the peak of Foundation Establishment and the Divine Soul Realm. His strength far surpasses that of the peak of Foundation Establishment, and it can be said that as long as he does not develop a Golden Core, he is invincible.

However, Jing Shui's lifespan is running out, and the possibility of him forming a core is very low, almost negligible. Moreover, he has given up on the idea of ​​forming a core, and at most, he will try it before he dies.

With him in charge of the Pei family, it can be seen as Yang Zhengshan's sincerity towards the Pei family.

"You can stay here. If you need anything, you can ask him!"

"As for the rest, you can discuss and handle it yourselves!"

After saying that, Yang Zhengshan disappeared in a flash.

He wouldn't waste his time and energy on the Pei family. Things are different now. When he first arrived at the Lingxiu Sea, everything was unfamiliar to him, so he had no choice but to choose the Lingxi Yang family as his foothold and take over their territory.

Now that he is a Golden Core cultivator, although he is also unfamiliar with the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Waters, he does have acquaintances there. There is no need for him to take over another family again, nor is there any need to waste time on an unfamiliar family.

After leaving the Pei family, Yang Zhengshan continued his journey and arrived at Wanbao Immortal City a day later.

The prosperity and grandeur of Wanbao Immortal City still amazed him.

This is a huge fairy city covering an area of ​​a hundred miles. From the luxurious Wanbao Street in the center to the seemingly ordinary houses on the periphery, it stretches for a full hundred miles.

There are three city walls, one inside and one outside, and each wall has many towers, each tower exuding a rich spiritual energy.

Yang Zhengshan hovered in the air, looking down at the enormous immortal city below, lost in thought. He wasn't looking at the surface, but rather at what was hidden behind this immortal city.

For example, the three city walls are three protective formations, each of which is a third-order formation and has strong defensive capabilities.

The inner city is the core of the Wanbao Sect, and the array set up there can block the spiritual senses of Golden Core cultivators from prying into it. The middle city is a vassal of the Wanbao Sect. It is said that there are five immortal clans in the middle city alone, and these immortal clans are all vassals of the Wanbao Sect.

The formation in the central city can suppress spiritual senses, preventing them from recklessly spying on them.

As for the outer city, there are no longer any restrictions on spiritual consciousness, but the magic array in the outer city should have many detection functions, which can detect various energy fluctuations.

In addition, many puppets were placed in the outer city.

Yang Zhengshan immediately spotted the eight enormous puppets placed on the outer city wall. He was very familiar with these eight puppets because they were the Lava God Generals.

Looking at the eight puppets, Yang Zhengshan's lips twitched involuntarily.

When the Sun Cave Heaven fell, a total of twelve Lava Gods appeared, and these twelve Lava Gods fell into the hands of different people.

Yang Zhengshan had previously wondered why such a valuable item as the Lava God General rarely appeared around the Sun Giant Mountain. Now he understood that Wanbaohang had bought up most of the Lava God Generals.

Of the twelve Lava God Generals, Yang Zhengshan has one, eight are in Wanbao Immortal City, and three are in the outer sect. It's normal that they are rarely seen.

The key point is that Wanbao Immortal City actually placed these eight Lava Gods in the outer city, not the inner city.

What does this mean?
This shows that their inner city has something more powerful than the eight Lava Gods, which shows that they are just being generous. So what if they are third-tier puppets? At most, they can only be used as watchdogs in the outer city.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but exclaim again, "The Wanbao Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the richest family in the Wanhua Domain!"

After his exclamation, Yang Zhengshan entered Wanbao Immortal City. Wanbao Immortal City does not refuse any outsiders. As long as the visitors abide by the rules of Wanbao Immortal City, Wanbao Sect will not prevent anyone from entering the outer city.

Therefore, there were no guards at the city gate of Wanbao Immortal City, but there were many cultivators patrolling the city walls.

It's hard to say how many people live in Wanbao Immortal City, but it's definitely more than a few million, at least tens of millions. Not only are there immortal cultivators here, but also martial artists. It truly lives up to the saying: those with innate cultivation are as good as dogs, those with golden bodies are everywhere. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators are commonplace. In fact, Yang Zhengshan encountered a Divine Soul Realm martial artist shortly after entering the city.

As soon as Yang Zhengshan stepped into Wanbao Immortal City, he was immersed in its bustling atmosphere. The bluestone slabs of the main street gleamed with a spiritual light, jade banners fluttered from the shops on both sides, and immortal boats shuttled back and forth in the air, their sails embroidered with the emblems of their respective sects; spiritual shuttles crisscrossed the ground, carrying cultivators in search of treasures. At the street corners, stalls were piled high with brocade and displayed bottles of elixirs, while little boys carried bamboo baskets and peddled spiritual fruits.

This scene is actually no different from that of an ordinary city.

Wanbao Immortal City does not prohibit flying, but high-altitude flight is restricted. Flying boats can also fly directly into the city, but there will be people to guide them, and there is a special area for flying boats to dock.

Although the entire immortal city looked incredibly busy, everything seemed perfectly orderly.

Yang Zhengshan looked up at the flying boats that stretched into a long dragon in the sky, then at the cultivators flying within a hundred feet, and the strange beasts and monsters shuttling back and forth in the streets. He couldn't help but marvel at the Myriad Treasures Immortal City once again.

At that moment, he was like a country bumpkin who had come to a big city, and he was amazed by everything he saw.

Of course, amidst his surprise, he began to think about the management system of this immortal city.

Looking at the flying boats in the sky, they should be flying along fixed routes. Looking at the cultivators flying in the air, it is clear that Wanbao Immortal City has regulations on flight altitude restrictions. There are also vehicles, horses, and strange beasts on the streets. All of these prove one thing: Wanbao Immortal City has a complete set of traffic rules, and these traffic rules are deeply rooted in people's hearts. The vast majority of people follow these traffic rules.

For a vast immortal city, a complete set of traffic rules is undoubtedly very important. Without such traffic rules, the immortal city would have long been in chaos.

A glimpse reveals the whole picture; the traffic rules demonstrate that the Wanbao Sect has unique methods and approaches to managing Wanbao Immortal City.

Furthermore, the outer city of Wanbao Immortal City does not refuse any outsiders, which shows that Wanbao Sect has absolute confidence and is not afraid of anyone causing trouble within the Immortal City.

Yang Zhengshan spent most of the day sightseeing in the city, and finally chose an inn near the central city to stay temporarily.

Fairy Inn!

That's a good name.

However, this inn is no ordinary inn; instead of guest rooms, it consists of courtyards.

The courtyard wasn't large, just three main rooms and a yard of about 30 square meters, with a spirit fruit tree in the yard.

The entire courtyard was shrouded in an array that could isolate spiritual senses and energy fluctuations.

"What do you think of this place, Master? If you are not satisfied, I can arrange for you to have a different courtyard!"

In the small courtyard, a servant dressed in a gray-blue short jacket looked at Yang Zhengshan with a fawning expression.

This young man is no ordinary person, but a martial artist, and a Xiantian martial artist at that, and he is only in his thirties.

A martial artist in their thirties who has reached the Innate Realm is not considered bad anywhere. You should know that the average age for breaking through to the Innate Realm in the Spirit Source Land is around thirty-eight years old.

In other words, this young servant in front of us far exceeds the average age for those who break through to the Innate Realm in the Spirit Source Land.

But here, he could only work as a servant.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a waiter. Being able to work as a waiter in such a sizable inn means he has some connections.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know how much the inn paid him, but he estimated it should be enough to meet his cultivation needs.

In this way, his martial arts career still has a promising future.

I dare not say that he can become a Divine Soul Realm martial artist, but if he works for several decades and saves up spirit stones to buy a spiritual item, breaking through to the Golden Body Realm should not be difficult.

"Hmm, this will do!" Yang Zhengshan concealed his aura, and from his appearance, he looked like someone who had just established his foundation.

It's not that he wanted to play dumb to fool others, but rather that there was no need to be too high-profile.

Although there are many cultivators in Wanbao Immortal City, Golden Core cultivators still stand at the top of the pyramid.

The appearance of an unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator in the inner city, while not causing a sensation, would still attract considerable attention. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Zhengshan chose to conceal his aura and disguise himself as a cultivator who had just successfully established his Foundation Establishment.

"Does Your Excellency require anything else? If so, please feel free to give the order!" the servant said with a fawning smile.

Yang Zhengshan stepped into the room. The room was simply decorated. There was a tea table in the main hall, the east room was a bedroom that could also be used as a cultivation room, and the west room was a study where other things could be done, such as drawing talismans.

Although there are only three rooms, they are all spacious and bright.

"I'm new to Wanbao Immortal City and would like to learn more about it. Do you have any suggestions?" Yang Zhengshan casually tossed him a mid-grade spirit stone and asked.

"I wonder what you wish to know, Master? I will answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge!" The servant accepted the spirit stone with a beaming smile.

"Let's start with the distribution of power within the city!" Yang Zhengshan said after thinking for a moment.

"Within the city? Does 'the real person' refer to the inner city or the outer city?"

Although Wanbao Immortal City has three city walls, it is actually only divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city is the core area where Wanbao Sect is located, and it is not open to the public except for Wanbao Street.

The outer city is outside the inner city. As for the middle city, people inside the city prefer to call it the Immortal Clan Quarter, which is the place where the Immortal Clan lives.
