Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 834 Your Yang family is doomed, as I said!
"If we can't be friends, then we can only be enemies. Senior Ding, you should think this through!"

"Hehe, Brother Yang, what do you think?"

"Your Lingxi Yang family isn't exactly a large clan. If you get into trouble, it won't be easy to handle!"

Situ Xicheng smiled sarcastically.

Yang Minghao was so angry he laughed.

"How dare you threaten me, kid! Hahaha, you've got guts!"

Yang Minghao gave Situ Xicheng a thumbs up.

How many years has it been since Master Yang was threatened?
If you count on your fingers, it's been at least thirty or forty years. Since the Yang family moved to Shenmu Island, no one has ever looked down on the third master of the Yang family.

Although he was not well-known in Anhu City over the years, he had lived a smooth life and had not made any enemies.

Unexpectedly, now that the ten-year period is about to end, someone has come to threaten him.

Situ Xicheng was displeased with Yang Minghao's attitude. He raised an eyebrow and his eyes turned sinister.

"Does your Lingxi Yang family intend to be enemies with my Situ family?"

The Situ family wanted to win over Ding Qiu, so they naturally investigated Ding Qiu's identity and background.

On the surface, Ding Qiu was merely a guest of the Yang family of Lingxi, which was just a small clan.

The Situ family naturally didn't take such a small family seriously, and they even gave up further investigation after learning about the Yang family of Lingxi.

Yang Minghao wasn't exactly known for his good temper either. Hearing Situ Xicheng's brazen threat, he slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Situ Xicheng's nose, and cursed, "You little brat, you son of a bitch, do you really think I wouldn't dare chop you up!"

Situ Xicheng's face darkened instantly. He really didn't expect Yang Minghao to scold him; this was not the outcome he had anticipated.

How dare the mere Yang family of Lingxi treat me like this?
"Very well, very well indeed. Your Yang family is doomed, just wait until you are wiped out! I said it!" Situ Xicheng said angrily.

"Exterminate your entire clan, hahaha~~~" Yang Minghao was amused. "Just because of your Situ family!"

If you want to destroy the Yang family, you have to enter the Spirit Origin Land first. Not to mention the Situ family, even if the three Lingxiu sects want to enter the Spirit Origin Land, they would have to ask Yang Zhengshan if he is willing.

Situ Xicheng sensed the strong mockery in Yang Minghao's laughter, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

We'll wait and see!

Having said that, he turned and left.

In his heart, he had already sentenced Yang Minghao and Ding Qiu to death, and wished he could return to the family now to gather people and kill these two arrogant fools.

Ding Qiu and Yang Minghao watched his departing figure, their eyes turning icy cold.

"Look, I've gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble!" Ding Qiu was feeling rather depressed.

"Haha, Lao Ding, what are you afraid of? If they dare to come, we'll kill them!" Yang Minghao laughed.

The Situ family has two Martial God level experts, but the Yang family also has a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Martial God level expert. Yang Minghao doesn't know what Yang Zhengshan's plans are, but he knows that Yang Zhengshan will definitely not let them swallow their anger.

When has the Yang family ever tolerated or uttered a sound?

Ding Qiu frowned. "It would be better to inform the master about this matter first, so as not to affect his plans!"

They weren't quite sure what Yang Zhengshan was planning, but Ding Qiu knew Yang Zhengshan well. He always planned before acting. After all, the Situ family was one of the twelve great families. If they attacked the Lingxi Yang family at this time, it might affect Yang Zhengshan's plans.

Yang Minghao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go tell Dad right away."

After saying that, he took out the jade token, infused it with a stream of true essence, and disappeared from the main hall in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared in the Reception Hall of Changshou City.

The magnificent Hall of Reception is protected by multiple layers of arrays, and is guarded by three hundred Dharma Protectors on rotation.

Whether you are holding a jade token or entering the Spirit Source Land through the cave entrance, you must come to the Reception Hall.

The entrance to the grotto-heaven cannot distinguish the identity of outsiders, and the same is true for the jade token. Anyone can enter the Spirit Source Land as long as they hold the jade token.

Therefore, in order to prevent outsiders from entering the Spirit Source Land, necessary screening and guarding are still very necessary.

Of course, it is also difficult for outsiders to enter the Spirit Source Land. The entrance to the cave on Shenmu Island is protected by an array and guarded by soldiers of the Dharma Guardian Army. Even if one's own people enter the entrance, they must be checked.

As for the cave entrances in the ancient ruins, there's even less to worry about. Everyone in the ancient ruins is one of our own; there are no outsiders at all.

There are only a few jade tokens available, so as long as they are not lost, it's fine.

"Greetings, Third Master!"

Yang Minghao returned to the main hall, and the soldiers on duty immediately bowed and saluted.

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Minghao nodded and greeted them. The soldiers on duty recorded the time of Yang Minghao's return and then led him to the stable.

Yang Minghao chose a Crimson Cloud Horse, rode it away from the Reception Hall, and headed straight for Lingquan Mountain Plain.

Anyone returning to the Reception Hall must sign in. This serves two purposes: first, to prevent outsiders from entering the Spirit Source Land; and second, to record the number of times the Cave Heaven Gate and the Jade Token have been used, making it easier to estimate the spiritual energy consumed by the Spirit Source Land.

When Yang Minghao arrived at Lingquan Mountain, Yang Zhengshan was drawing talismans in his study.

"father!"

"Hmm! What's up?"

Yang Zhengshan asked casually without even looking up.

Yang Minghao smiled and said, "There is indeed something going on. We've run into some trouble in Anhu City!"

Yang Zhengshan continued drawing talismans without saying a word.

Yang Minghao continued, "The Situ family wanted to recruit Lao Ding, but after we refused, they actually tried to coerce us and even tried to harm us!"

"Oh! How are they going to harm you?" Yang Zhengshan looked up and chuckled.

"They said they're going to wipe out our Yang family!" Yang Minghao grinned.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "You want to wipe out the Yang family of Lingxi, don't you!"

“The Yang family of Lingxi is now part of our Yang family!” Yang Minghao said.

"Hmm!" Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. That was true. The Lingxi Yang family was now considered part of their Yang family.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is Anhu City still under the control of the Illusion Moon Sect?" "That's right! The person currently in charge of Anhu City is Elder Yueming of the Illusion Moon Sect!" Yang Minghao said.

Yang Zhengshan took out a moon-white token and handed it to him, saying, "Take this to Elder Yueming and tell him that I need the Situ family to escort you back to Lingxi Mountain!"

"It must be someone from the Situ family who escorts them; no one else is allowed!"

"And please, Elder Yueming, keep my identity a secret!"

He didn't know Yueming, but that didn't matter. He was a guest elder of the Illusion Moon Sect, with the same status as an elder. Moreover, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so his status was naturally higher than that of a Martial God.

His status as a guest elder in the Illusion Moon Sect is currently kept secret, and it is estimated that Elder Yueming is unaware that his sect has gained a guest elder.

"What is this?" Yang Minghao took the token and looked at Yang Zhengshan with some confusion.

He was unaware that Yang Zhengshan had become a guest elder of the Illusion Moon Sect.

"An elder's token from the Illusion Moon Sect. I am now a guest elder of the Illusion Moon Sect!" Yang Zhengshan explained casually.

"Ah, Dad, when did this happen? How come I didn't know?" Yang Minghao said aggrievedly.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him and said, "Stop fooling around here and get down to business. Ding Qiu should break through soon, so tell him to come back as soon as possible!"

He was really looking forward to Ding Qiu's breakthrough. He estimated that once Ding Qiu broke through to the Golden Body Realm, his strength might even surpass that of Yu Qingyi.

Once Ding Qiu completes his breakthrough, he will be Yang Zhengshan's sharpest weapon, capable of doing many things for Yang Zhengshan.

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

"Father, I'm leaving now!"

After Yang Minghao left, Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and then went out as well.

He arrived at the waterfall at the foot of Lingquan Mountain and entered a quiet courtyard.

There was only a simple bamboo house in the courtyard. Yang Zhengshan did not enter the bamboo house, but stood outside the bamboo house and used his spiritual sense to sense the situation inside.

Inside the small bamboo house, An Yuxing sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing sometimes weak and sometimes vigorous.

An Yuxing's breakthrough has been over six years. He started his breakthrough only half a year later than Yu Qingyi, but he still hasn't completed it.

He has completed the formation of his spiritual foundation and is now only one step away from a successful breakthrough, but it has taken him more than a year to take that step.

Yang Zhengshan was somewhat worried about him.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to help, so he could only wait quietly.

Not only An Yuxing, but also Liang Shengze and Qu Changkong, their breakthroughs all seemed extremely difficult and lengthy.

This is mainly because they are all relatively old. According to the records within the Illusion Moon Sect, it is best for a Heavenly Gang stage martial artist to break through to the Golden Body Realm before the age of 120.

For those over 120 years old, the success rate is less than 30%. If one possesses a higher-grade spiritual object, the success rate will be higher, but it will not exceed 50% at most.

The spiritual items Yang Zhengshan gave them were all obtained from ancient remnant arrays, so their quality was definitely not low.

However, the chances of the three of them breaking through are still not high; Yang Zhengshan estimates it to be around 40%.

Sensing An Yuxing's condition, Yang Zhengshan felt a little relieved.

An Yuxing is currently in the process of forming a golden body, and it seems to be going well. Perhaps he will break through soon.

Afterwards, he went to see where Liang Shengze and Qu Changkong were in seclusion. Qu Changkong was relatively young, only 130 years old at the time. Although he was over 120 years old, he was still much younger than An Yuxing and Liang Shengze.

The one in the worst condition was actually Liang Shengze. Yang Zhengshan felt very uneasy looking at Liang Shengze, whose aura was somewhat weak.

The dissipation of his aura meant that Liang Shengze could not control the true essence within his body. The most important thing in creating a golden body is to use true essence to manipulate the spiritual energy entering the body to temper it. However, Liang Shengze could not even control his own true essence, so how could he control the spiritual energy within his body?

Yang Zhengshan appeared in front of Liang Shengze in a flash, carefully observing Liang Shengze's condition.

"Brother Liang! Brother Liang!"

He called softly.

Liang Shengze did not react.

"Damn it!" Yang Zhengshan cursed inwardly. In this situation, if Liang Shengze did not receive external assistance, he would surely die due to the failure of his breakthrough, just like Zhou Tianci before him.

But how can we help Liang Shengze?
Yang Zhengshan was at a loss for what to do.

The process of breaking through is inherently dangerous, and you can only rely on yourself; outsiders can't help at all.

Liang Shengze is now clearly lacking stamina and unable to continue breaking through; he has even fallen into a coma.

Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Since the Foundation Establishment Pill can help immortal cultivators establish their foundation, it should also be able to help martial artists create their golden body.

The main function of the Foundation Building Pill is to provide cultivators with a massive amount of medicinal power, break the shackles on the dantian, and reshape the dantian.

This seems to have no effect on martial artists' ability to create a golden body, but Liang Shengze's problem now is not only that he cannot control his true energy, but also that his true energy has reached the point of exhaustion.

He needs a large amount of true energy, and at the same time, his consciousness needs to be awakened, so that he may have a chance of survival.

Yang Zhengshan had no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

She put the Foundation Establishment Pill into Liang Shengze's mouth, then gently stroked his chest to make him swallow it.

At the same time, he carefully stimulated Liang Shengze's unconscious consciousness with his divine soul.

This process was extremely dangerous. If Yang Zhengshan had poured in even a little more soul power, Liang Shengze's soul would have been immediately scattered.

Yang Zhengshan was sweating profusely with nervousness, fearing that something might go wrong.

Fortunately, he has focused on cultivating his soul magic over the years, and his control over his soul power has reached a very subtle level.

His spiritual power gently pierced Liang Shengze's soul like a fine needle. Liang Shengze's soul trembled slightly and he immediately woke up from his coma.

"Don't panic, calm down, and be careful to control the effects of the medicine in your body!" Yang Zhengshan's voice rang out.

Liang Shengze, who was in a state of confusion, immediately became much clearer, calmed down, and focused on the complex situation inside his body.

At this moment, his internal energy was in complete chaos. His nearly exhausted true energy was scattered haphazardly between his meridians and acupoints. His unstable spiritual foundation trembled slightly and was on the verge of collapse. The spiritual energy absorbed from the outside world was uncontrollably washing over his flesh and blood.

More importantly, the violent medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was like a raging flood, impacting his dantian and meridians. Although the medicinal power replenished his missing true essence, it also caused him great pain.
