Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1152 Demonic Attack
Just as Yang Zhengshan met the Five-Tailed Ferocious Beast, a soaring sword aura suddenly erupted from the northern part of the Wanhua Mountains.

The sword energy stretched a thousand feet, piercing straight into the sky.

The sword intent was vast and sweeping across thousands of miles.

Suddenly, the giant white bone pillars shattered, turning into piles of bones. Dense yin energy permeated the mountains, while pure yang energy descended from the heavens.

The desolate mountains were suddenly bathed in a warm glow.

Although life had not yet begun to sprout, the heavy yin energy slowly sank into the ground under the drive of the yang energy.

Decades or even a century from now, these desolate mountains will be revitalized.

However, this sword strike not only severed the giant white bone pillar, but also the blood pool and Golden Core cultivators of the Impermanent Ghost Sect in the valley.

Soul Princess stared in horror at the young man holding a long sword in mid-air, with three corpses behind him.

The Soul-Hooking Palace's Underworld Maiden, Yi Shang'an, and Shangguan Jie!

After Li Shanghun and others from the Soul Refining Hall were killed by Bai Yujing, the Soul Hooking Hall took their place and was stationed in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountains.

Originally, Soul Princess was worried that Yang Zhengshan would come from the southern region, but she did not expect that instead of Yang Zhengshan, a terrifying sword cultivator would come.

That sword strike was absolutely terrifying.

She looked down at her arm; if she hadn't dodged quickly, she too would have been killed by that sword.

"Where is Chang?" Heavenly Sword True Monarch slowly descended, looking at Soul Princess.

"Who are you?" Soul Princess asked in fear.

"Who am I? Heh heh, I am Heavenly Sword!"

"Heavenly Sword!" Soul Maiden was stunned.

She was somewhat familiar with the title, but she didn't think it matched the power of that sword strike.

In her mind, the Heavenly Sword True Lord was just a pitiful person who died of old age.

However, she soon remembered what had happened to An Wusheng and the others.

"Hidden Sword Mountain! So it was you!"

Soul Princess took a deep breath, her heart filled with bitterness.

What kind of monsters are these?!

An unknown Yang Zhengshan was actually a half-step Dao expert, and a sword cultivator who had been dead for hundreds of years was resurrected and was also a half-step Dao expert.

Suddenly, Soul Princess felt that this world was very unfamiliar and was full of discrepancies with the world she knew.

Just as Soul Princess was thinking about how to escape, a figure slowly materialized behind her.

Heavenly Sword True Monarch looked at the figure but did not rush to attack. He simply waited quietly for the figure to materialize.

"You came!"

"Didn't you want to find me?" Chang Buzai looked at Tianjian Zhenjun with a livid face.

"Heh heh, that's right, I've been looking for you! Do you dare to fight me?"

"Young man, you are too arrogant!"

Heavenly Sword True Monarch laughed loudly, "I am arrogant! I am probably no match for that Yang Zhengshan, am I? Haha, I don't believe you haven't fought Yang Zhengshan!"

He had never met Yang Zhengshan, but he was quite familiar with him.

Both Que Lingyu and Jian Changhe mentioned Yang Zhengshan to him quite often.

Not long ago, he learned that it was the Yang family that had blocked the southward army of the Wuchang Ghost Sect, so he learned more about Yang Zhengshan.

Junior!

According to seniority!
Yang Zhengshan is the real junior.

He at least lived for over three thousand years, while Yang Zhengshan only lived for three hundred years.

When Yang Zhengshan was mentioned, Chang Zaibu's expression became even more unpleasant.

In his mind, Yang Zhengshan was definitely the most arrogant person.

For a junior who has only just entered the halfway stage of the Dao to dare to challenge him, an ancient being, is simply outrageous.

What angered him even more was that Yang Zhengshan's Daoist powers actually had a restraining effect on him. This not only caused him to suffer a great loss at Yang Zhengshan's hands, but also made him extremely wary of Yang Zhengshan.

This forced him to shrink the defenses of the Wuchang Ghost Sect in the Wanhua Mountains.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

In an instant, the black aura of death surged toward Heavenly Sword True Monarch like a tide and clouds, but this probing move posed no danger to Heavenly Sword True Monarch.

The sword energy soared into the sky, instantly scattering the deathly aura that had been gathered.

The next moment, the two entered the void and began a fierce battle.

The vast void was thick with smoke, and the aura of death constantly gathered and dispersed, sometimes transforming into chains, sometimes into cages, attempting to drag the Heavenly Sword True Monarch into the abyss of death. However, no matter what he faced, the Heavenly Sword True Monarch only needed one sword. If one sword could not solve the problem, then he would use another.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, even the void itself began to crumble.

In the real world, this would inevitably lead to upheaval and upheaval.

The battle lasted for several days, and no one except those directly involved knew the outcome.

When Chang returned to the Land of Impermanence, he had a sword scar on his face, which extended from his forehead to his jaw, and even pierced through his left eye.

When Tianjian Zhenjun returned to Cangjian Mountain, he fell into a deep sleep, clutching his sword, for a whole year.

Neither of them died, but it was impossible to say who was stronger or weaker.

However, after the battle between the two, the situation in the Wanhua Mountains changed dramatically.

Hidden Sword Mountain swept through the area, driving the Yin soldiers and blood puppets of the Impermanent Ghost Sect out of the Cloud Mountain Range, and even occupied the Sun Giant Mountain.

The Myriad Beasts Sect thus benefited from this opportunity and took control of the central region of the Myriad Flower Mountains.

The Impermanent Ghost Sect can only hide in the northern region of the Wanhua Mountains, and even then, it is only a part of the northern region.

After nearly a century of scheming, it has somehow returned to the original state.

The Impermanent Ghost Sect has suffered a huge loss this time.

The Soul Control Hall, Soul Refining Hall, and Soul Hooking Hall suffered heavy blows one after another, and Chang Buzai was forced to retreat twice in a row. For a time, the Impermanent Ghost Sect looked extremely weak and was no longer as powerful as it used to be.

However, the most tragic were not the Impermanent Ghost Sect, but the already destroyed Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Myriad Flower Demon Court.

Of course, things got even worse later.

Three years after Chang Buzai's great battle with Tianjian Zhenjun, hundreds of ugly demons rushed into the North Sea and invaded the heart of the North Sea Demon Court. More than thirty demon kings and four demon lords of the North Sea Demon Court were all killed, and the North Sea Demon Emperor also disappeared.

From then on, the Demon Court of the North Sea ceased to exist in the world.

After this news spread, the entire Wanhua Domain was once again thrown into turmoil.

This is even more shocking and terrifying than the destruction of the Tianji Pavilion by the Tianxiandao sect back then.

The destruction of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion by the Heavenly Constitution Path was surprising, but it was still acceptable to most people, since the Heavenly Constitution Path's power was well-known.

The fact that the demons from the Land of Reincarnation came out and destroyed the North Sea Demon Court is hard to understand.

Throughout the history of the Wanhua Domain, there has never been a record of any demons or evil spirits escaping from the Land of Reincarnation.

However this is just the beginning.

Three years later.

Impermanent.

The eerie and unpredictable land had now become a huge battlefield, where countless ghostly spirits, ghostly generals, and blood puppet soldiers were fighting desperately.

They surrounded, and surrounded again, faithfully carrying out the orders of the ever-present, intending to annihilate all the evil spirits that had intruded into the land of impermanence.

However, those demons broke through the encirclement time and time again, approaching the Hall of Impermanence once more.

This is an unfair war.

The nearly one hundred demons were actually nearly one hundred Golden Core cultivators.

They were like ferocious beasts, relentlessly slaughtering those ghostly spirits, ghostly generals, and blood puppet soldiers.

No matter how many ghostly spirits, demon generals, and blood puppet soldiers there were, none could stop their onslaught. These demons had no magical artifacts or divine powers, but they possessed fangs and claws, and incredibly strong, impervious bodies.

Neither yin energy nor evil energy can cause them any real harm.

It was as if all attacks were futile in their presence.

Chang was staring at the two figures in front of him, his face as black as charcoal.

"Why did you come out of the Land of Reincarnation?" he asked coldly.

"Why? Hehe~~" The jade crown chuckled, its laughter sharp and piercing, making anyone who heard it feel their heart pound and their mind race with panic.

"Because someone released us! Hehe, I'm here to invite you to join us!"

Chang Buzai frowned deeply. "Join you?"

"That's right, become our comrades! We want more comrades!"

Chang Buzai roughly understood its meaning: joining them and becoming their companions likely refers to becoming a demon.

"Who let you out?"

"you guess!"

"..."

Chang was really tempted to curse; no, he was more tempted to kill someone.

The other party actually played such a pointless game with him at this time. This was mockery, humiliation, and contempt!

Chang Zai had never been so angry before.

He had never been this angry, not even when faced with Yang Zhengshan's provocation or Tianjian Zhenjun's challenge.

“You all deserve to die!” he roared through gritted teeth.

"No, we will never die!"

……

It was destroyed in an unpredictable way. Countless Yin soldiers and blood puppets were torn to pieces and scattered haphazardly on this gray earth. Countless Yin spirits and ghosts were transformed into pure soul power, drifting between the dim heaven and earth.

Not only the Land of Impermanence, but also the Sea of ​​Corpses and the Ghost Island, all have void rifts in the sky that wantonly steal their spiritual energy.

The once lifeless cave was now completely silent.

Whether it was the Ghost King or a Golden Core cultivator, they no longer exist.

Only three dilapidated caves remain, resembling hellish landscapes.

The Impermanent Ghost Sect has been wiped out!

Yang Zhengshan learned of this news a year later.

Standing in front of the Hall of Longevity, gazing at the clear sky, Yang Zhengshan was lost in thought.

"The Demon Court of the North Sea, the Impermanent Ghost Sect, who's next?"

What exactly is inside the Land of Reincarnation?

"Who allowed these demons to leave the cycle of reincarnation, and who allowed them to destroy the two major powers?"

He had too many doubts in his mind, and at the same time, he felt an unprecedented anxiety.

The destruction of the North Sea Demon Court and the Impermanent Ghost Sect was enough to make everyone feel the crisis, especially the major powers.

On the contrary, the smaller factions wouldn't worry about this, because they weren't worthy of being wiped out by such a terrifying being. Perhaps they wouldn't even know these things were happening.

"They won't come to Baiyujing, will they?" Su Mei asked softly.

Yueyao and Yunxiao, standing beside them, were also filled with worry.

The current situation is one of widespread fear and insecurity.

"I don't know!" Yang Zhengshan shook his head. Too many things had happened in the past few years, making it impossible for him to understand the current situation.

The sudden appearance of evil spirits caught everyone off guard and shattered everyone's understanding.

The existence of demons and evil spirits is not a secret. All major powers have some understanding of the demons and evil spirits within the Land of Reincarnation. However, their understanding is limited to the demons and evil spirits that reside in the Land of Reincarnation, not the demons and evil spirits that have emerged from the Land of Reincarnation.

"What should we do?" Yueyao trembled with fear.

She had never seen any demons or monsters, but she had heard of their terrors.

Demon cultivators and evil spirits seem to be related, but in reality, they have no connection whatsoever.

Demon cultivators are simply creatures that have cultivated themselves. Although some demon cultivators are quite brutal, they are all living beings, and the higher their cultivation level, the more they resemble humans.

Demons and evil spirits are completely different from any other kind of being.

Although they were all transformed from immortal cultivators and demon cultivators, they have long since lost their true spirit and their self, leaving only a little bit of residual self-awareness.

They are different from ghost cultivators. Although ghost cultivators may forget their memories of their previous lives, their true spirit remains unchanged. Ghost cultivators are merely a product of the evolution between life and death.

Demons and evil spirits are more like a loophole in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; their existence is the biggest loophole in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

They were all worried.

But Yang Zhengshan suddenly said, "I am going into seclusion!"

"Seclusion!" The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

Why go into seclusion at this time?
"Have all the people at the outpost been withdrawn?" Yang Zhengshan ignored their questions and simply asked.

He originally intended to develop the southern region of the Wanhua Mountains into Baiyujing's territory, but the situation changed unexpectedly, forcing him to change his mind, abandon all his previous plans, and close the Shengjing Immortal Palace once again.

“They’ve all been withdrawn!” Xuanzhen replied.

"Well, I will close the Immortal Palace of Life Realm. During this time, you can focus on your cultivation!"

Yang Zhengshan turned and walked into the Hall of Longevity, leaving everyone unsure of what to do.

"I'm going into seclusion too. I've had some insights lately!" Yunxiao shook his head and returned to his Yunxiao Palace.

The others followed suit and dispersed.

It seems that sealing off the fairy palace in its habitat is also a good way to avoid attacks from evil spirits.

The grotto-heaven floats in the void, and is difficult for outsiders to find.

In this way, they seem to have nothing to worry about.

However, this is just their idea. Anything that exists will inevitably leave a trace and will inevitably be connected with other things.

It's hard to find, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to find.

They can't find it simply because they don't understand certain things, or their cultivation is insufficient, or their knowledge is inadequate.

……

Yang Zhengshan has gone into seclusion.

The entire Immortal Palace fell silent; everyone seemed to be in seclusion.

Yu Qingyi was still comprehending the Dao of Spirit Infusion, Yang Mingcheng was still forming his core, Yang Jizhen had also begun his seclusion to form his core, and Yunxiao, Xuanzhen, and others had also gone into seclusion.

However, their seclusion was all anticipated, but Yang Zhengshan's seclusion this time was sudden.

He's felt like something's wrong with him for the past few years.

I always find myself staring blankly at something!

It was as if I saw many things, many things that were hard to understand. It seemed like I had grasped something, but I didn't know what it was.

"what is that?"

In the quiet room, Yang Zhengshan stared blankly at the stone door, lost in thought.

A pair of eyes that should have been incredibly deep now appeared completely empty, the pupils seemingly unfocused, much like someone who was blind.

He wasn't looking at the stone gate, but rather at the blurry space.

He just kept staring, staring.
