Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1133 An Unexpected Opportunity

“My master is dead, and I want to find a new master,” Hua Qingzhu said.

Yang Zhengshan was taken aback. "Your master is dead. Who was your master?"

"Hua Qingshu, everyone calls him the Myriad Flower Demon Emperor!" Hua Qingzhu made no attempt to hide anything.

Yang Zhengshan was completely stunned. "You're saying your master is the Demon Emperor Wanhua?"

"That's right!"

"he died?"

"Ok!"

"Who killed him?"

"He is often absent!"

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath, "Is the sect leader of the Impermanent Ghost Sect often absent?"

"Ok!"

"When?"

"Just now, about an hour ago!" Hua Qingzhu looked at Yang Zhengshan and said with a very serious expression, "Can you help me find a new master?"

Yang Zhengshan felt that this was quite a shock.

The Demon Emperor Wanhua is dead!

This was truly beyond his expectations.

Not much; it exceeded his expectations.

Although he did not know the exact strength of the Myriad Flower Demon Emperor, he did know that the Myriad Flower Demon Emperor had existed for ten thousand years.

This wasn't something someone told him; he deduced it himself.

After communicating with the Five-Tailed Serpent, he learned that there were many ancient relics in the world that came from ten thousand years ago.

However, the Wan Hua Demon Emperor is not a normal demon cultivator. No one can explain his origins or what race he is, so he is very likely an ancient relic from ten thousand years ago.

The cyan pearl before him confirmed his guess.

What kind of cultivation and strength would an ancient artifact from ten thousand years ago possess?

Peak of Golden Core or halfway to the Dao?

If he were only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, the Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Flowers would not be able to subdue the myriad demons in the Ten Thousand Flowers Mountains.

Yang Zhengshan remained silent for a long time before finally processing the news.

What kind of new owner are you looking for?

"Just now, inside that main hall!"

"Inside the main hall?" Yang Zhengshan's expression shifted slightly. There was only one person inside the main hall, and that was Yu Qingyi.

Apart from Yu Qingyi, there was no one else in the Hall of Longevity at this time.

Yu Qingyi was in seclusion, Yang Zhengshan was refining pills in the Pill Hall, so there was nothing to do in the Longevity Hall. Hongyun and Qingxia were handling affairs in the Immortal Official's Office, and the other servants had all gone to cultivate.

The new master this guy is looking for is actually Yu Qingyi!
Why choose her as the new owner?

"Because her mastery of the Art of Spirit Empowerment is the highest in the entire Myriad Splendor Domain!"

"The Way of Imbuing Spirits?" Yang Zhengshan suddenly realized.

He had already verified that the Way of Spirit Empowerment came from the Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Flowers.

What kind of new owner a magical artifact wants to find is entirely up to its own wishes.

She could find a new master who has reached a certain level in some Daoist understanding, or she could find a new master who has no cultivation at all, or she could even choose not to find a new master and find a place to hide herself.

A spiritual treasure is not a spiritual artifact. A spiritual artifact loses all its power and can only fall into slumber if it has no master.

Even without an owner, a spiritual treasure can absorb spiritual energy and store power, and can do whatever it wants, provided it doesn't encounter a Golden Core cultivator.

Although a magical artifact without a master can still unleash powerful energy, it is far inferior to a magical artifact with a master.

If we encounter a Golden Core cultivator, we might be captured by them.

Once she fell into the hands of the monks, she lost her freedom.

Hua Qingzhu's decision to recognize Yu Qingyi as his new master was completely unexpected by Yang Zhengshan.

However, life is unpredictable, and some things are just as unexpected.

It's not incomprehensible that a stroke of luck can happen unexpectedly.

As for stopping it.

What a joke! Why would Yang Zhengshan want to stop it?

This is a magical treasure!
A true treasure!
Yu Qingyi formed her Golden Core through martial arts, and her Golden Core was no different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The golden elixir was perfectly round and flawless, and it had also comprehended its own Dao intent, making it far superior to the fake elixir formed using the Nine Cauldrons Divine Elixir.

However, there are also flaws in a martial artist's Core Formation. The biggest flaw is that Yu Qingyi does not have her own natal spiritual weapon. She originally did not have a natal magic weapon, so naturally she does not have a natal spiritual weapon now.

However, if Hua Qingzhu is willing to acknowledge Yu Qingyi as her master, then Yu Qingyi's weakness of not having a natal spiritual weapon will be made up for. With Hua Qingzhu's strong support, Yu Qingyi's future path can be described as limitless.

Reaching the peak of the Golden Core realm is no longer a distant dream, and even stepping halfway into the Dao realm is not out of the question.

“You can accept me as your master, but you’ll have to wait a bit longer!” Yang Zhengshan’s eyes flashed, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Wait for what?" Hua Qingzhu asked, puzzled and looking dazed.

She is the spirit of the artifact, a spirit that has existed for ten thousand years, yet she is like an ignorant child.

You'll understand once you think about it.

The Demon Emperor Wanhua stayed in the Demon Ruins for ten thousand years and basically never went out.

Hua Qingzhu always followed Wan Hua Demon Emperor, so she rarely went out.

Simply put, she's just ignorant and has wasted over ten thousand years of her life.

“She is in seclusion. I will take you to find her after she comes out!” Yang Zhengshan said.

Hua Qingzhu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

She's just naive, not stupid.

Circumstances are more powerful than people!
Once she fell into Yang Zhengshan's hands, she had no power to resist.

Although she couldn't detect Yang Zhengshan's cultivation level, she could sense that this guy in front of her was not much weaker than her former master.

Faced with such a powerful being, she dared not be too presumptuous.

So she obediently stayed in the Pill Palace.

Yang Zhengshan was still refining pills and didn't have much energy to pay attention to her, so he let her stay in the pill hall.

……

Wanhua Mountains.

The mighty army of ghost soldiers crossed layers of mountains and marched south, soon entering the heart of the central mountainous region, which is also the heart of the Wanhua Demon Court.

Faced with the terrifying army of ghost soldiers, the remaining forces of the Wanhua Demon Court could no longer hold out and fled in droves.

With Li Zhuo dead, the Chi Huang clan had no choice but to close their grotto and hide inside, afraid to venture out.

After escaping by sheer luck, Xuanling immediately led his people to migrate. The other demons also fled in droves; some fled into the Hengshan Mountains, some fled to the southern wilderness of the Western Regions, and some headed south all the way to the South China Sea.

In just a few months, the Demon Court, which dominated the Wanhua Mountains, fell apart. Countless demonic beasts fled in all directions like wild horses, making the situation inside and around the Wanhua Mountains even more chaotic.

The destruction of the Wanhua Demon Court could not be kept secret from the eyes and ears of the various forces in the Wanhua Domain.

The news spread like wildfire in all directions.

Emerald Lake, the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Five-Tailed Serpent sat in the bright hall, next to a man in white, with white tiger hair on his sideburns, amber vertical pupils in his eyes, and black tiger stripes spreading across the back of his hands.

This man in white, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, was none other than Xiaoshan, one of the eight elders of the Wanhua Demon Court and the demon king of the Red-browed White Tiger clan.

Xuanling led the Wandering White Crane Clan to escape to Emerald Lake, but later he led the Wandering White Crane Clan back to the Wanhua Demon Court.

Xiaoshan also led the Red-browed White Tiger clan to escape from the Wanhua Mountains. He led his clan to the southern region of the Southern Wilderness.

Although he later received news that the Wanhua Demon Emperor had sent a large army of tree people to defeat the Yin army of the Wuchang Ghost Sect, he did not choose to return to the Wanhua Demon Court.

Because he understood very well that no matter how temporary the victory of the Tree Man army was, the Impermanent Ghost Sect would continue to attack the Myriad Flower Demon Court.

Given the unclear situation, he was unwilling to go back.

So he stayed in the Southern Wilderness, but he didn't expect that there was a powerful being hiding there.

When the Five-Tailed Serpent came knocking, he was still somewhat defiant, but after being thoroughly thrashed by the Five-Tailed Serpent, he had no choice but to submit.

And so, he became the top general under the Five-Tailed Serpent.

At this moment, the appearance of the Five-Tailed Serpent was slightly different from the one Yang Zhengshan had seen last time.

The aura of the Five-Tailed Serpent became even deeper and more unfathomable.

Having been awakened for over a hundred years, his strength has basically returned to its peak, reaching the level of a half-step into the Dao.

At this moment, a man dressed in black feathered robes was kneeling in front of the Five-Tailed Serpent in the hall.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true. The army of ghost soldiers has already stormed into Lihuo Mountain. When I left, I personally saw many ghost soldiers rushing into Lihuo Mountain!" the man in black feather robes said in fear.

He was a member of the Cangming Xuanying clan, but the demon king of the Cangming Xuanying clan had died in the last battle against the Wuchang Ghost Sect. After the demon king's death, the Xuanying clan members had to rely on the Chihuang clan and do some odd jobs for them near the volcano.

He had no prior knowledge of the defeat of the Wanhua Demon Court, but when the Yin Army stormed up Lihuo Mountain, he immediately understood that the Wanhua Demon Court was doomed.

Lihuoshan is located in the southern part of the heartland of Wanhua Demon Court. The fact that the Yin Army was able to reach Lihuoshan means that they have already broken through the heartland of Wanhua Demon Court.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and chose to flee the moment he saw the army of ghost soldiers.

With the speed of the Xuan Ying clan, he quickly escaped from the Wanhua Mountains. However, he did not expect to crash into the Emerald Lake and be captured on the spot by a demon king.

The person who captured him was none other than Xiaoshan.

He recounted in detail what he had seen and heard to Wuwei Zheng and Xiaoshan. Although Xiaoshan was somewhat prepared, he was still horrified after hearing it.

The Demon Court of Wanhua has been destroyed!
How can this be?

Where is Wan Hua Demon Emperor?
Xiaoshan was filled with shock and doubt, finding the situation unbelievable and the circumstances surrounding the Wanhua Demon Emperor a mystery.

The Five-Tailed Serpent, however, remained quite calm.

"The cyan tree is dead!"

"Who is Hua Qingshu?" Xiaoshan asked subconsciously.

“It is the Myriad Flower Demon Emperor!” the Five-Tailed Demon King said calmly.

He also knew Hua Qingshu; the two had been rivals in the last power struggle. Unfortunately, they were both newcomers and couldn't compete with the old guard, so they both ultimately failed.

That's right, they were all placed in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Master, who had not only lived for ten thousand years, but had lived for more than twenty thousand years.

He had already spent ten thousand years in seclusion before vying for power.

Ten thousand years of seclusion, ten thousand years of accumulation, ten thousand years of planning—ultimately, he ascended to power through martial arts.

The spread of martial arts actually began 15,000 years ago. Initially, the Daoist Master Tianxian did not vigorously promote martial arts, but only spread it on a small scale.

It spread little by little, gradually and gradually, and unknowingly, after thousands of years of evolution, martial arts have spread to almost the entire Wanhua Domain, and even to the Spirit Wasteland.

While others began vying for power, the Heavenly Ruler had already settled into his position.

Although some people noticed the abnormality of martial arts during the power struggle, by then martial arts had already spread throughout the entire Wanhua Domain and could no longer be stopped.

When the power struggle ended, the Heavenly Dao Lord unsurprisingly ascended to the position of power and became the new Dao Lord of the Myriad Flower Domain.

At that time, both the Five-Tailed Serpent and the Flower Tree were vying for control of the Wanhua Mountain Range, but in the end, all their efforts came to naught.

The Five-Tailed Serpent chose to slumber in the Water Dragon River, while Hua Qingshu hid in the Demon Ruins. They were both waiting for the next power struggle.

Speaking of which, Hanako is still the old rival of the Five-Tailed Serpent.

Five-Tailed Serpent knew very well that if possible, Hana Aoki would never give up the Wanhua Mountains.

Since the Impermanent Ghost Sect has invaded the heart of the Wanhua Mountains, it means that Hua Qingshu has already perished.

"The Demon Emperor Wanhua is dead!" Xiaoshan exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The Five-Tailed Serpent ignored him, lowering its eyes and falling into deep thought.

Why are they fighting over the Wanhua Mountains?

Because the Wanhua Mountains are one of the largest spiritual veins in the Wanhua Domain.

The distribution of spiritual veins in the Wanhua Domain follows a pattern, basically consisting of two horizontal and one vertical lines: the Wanhua Mountain Range, the Hengshan Mountain Range, and the Wanshui River.

The "One Vein of Ten Thousand Waters" refers not only to the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Waters, but also to a large area to the east of the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Waters. It is a spiritual vein with water as its main feature.

The Cloud Mountain Range, the Southern Wilderness, and other spiritual veins in the Wanhua Domain are not considered major spiritual veins in the entire Wanhua Domain.

Simply put, the three largest and most important spiritual veins in the Wanhua Domain are the Wanhua Mountain Range, the Hengshan Mountain Range, and the Wanshui River.

Among them, the Wanshui Mountains have the widest coverage, covering almost half of the Central Region, followed by the Hengshan Mountains, and then the Wanhua Mountains.

It seems that the Wanshui lineage and Hengshan mountain range are more valuable to contend for than the Wanhua mountain range, which is true. However, the Wanshui lineage and Hengshan mountain range are located in the Central Region, and there are countless forces above the two lineages, making it almost impossible to occupy them.

Instead, there is only the Wanhua Demon Court in the Wanhua Mountains, without so many complex forces, so the Wanhua Mountains have become the focus of several power struggles.

Moreover, a Dao Lord once appeared in the Wanhua Mountains, namely the Wanhua Dao Lord.

This has increased the importance of the Wanhua Mountains, drawing attention to them from many people.

It doesn't mean that whoever occupies the Wanhua Mountains will be able to sit in the position of the ruler, but rather that whoever occupies the Wanhua Mountains has a great chance of winning the struggle for power.

The Five-Tailed Ferocious also had designs on the Wanhua Mountain Range, but he had expended a great deal of energy during his slumber and needed time to recover. Hua Qingshu, on the other hand, had rarely appeared in the Demon Ruins over the past ten thousand years, but he still controlled the Wanhua Demon Court.

Therefore, after the Five-Tailed Serpent awakened, he had no choice but to retreat and leave the Wanhua Mountains to accumulate power.

He originally thought he would have a showdown with Hua Qingshu, but he didn't expect Hua Qingshu to lose the Wanhua Mountain Range so quickly, and he might even lose his life.

"It will end in less than a hundred years!"

Five-Tailed Ferocious thought to himself.

He will not give up, but if he wants to take over the Wanhua Mountains, he needs more power.

Although he is not afraid of anyone now, he has not become so arrogant as to think he can defeat the Impermanent Ghost Sect on his own.

"I need help!"

As Wuwei Zheng thought to himself, a somewhat unfamiliar face appeared in his mind—it was Yang Zhengshan.
