Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 911 Gathering at the Wuxiang Sect

A moment later, Yang Zhengshan hurriedly arrived at the Reception Hall.

His entire batch of Demon Essence Pills was ruined; he couldn't just abandon his beloved son for the sake of one batch of Demon Essence Pills.

The garrison soldiers responsible for guarding the main hall had already carried Yang Mingcheng, Ding Qiu, and Lu Fusheng to a side hall.

All three were in a hallucination, seemingly undergoing a great mental shock.

His eyes were lifeless, yet his pupils darted around, and his whole body was trembling, with sweat pouring out.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and fresh blood seeped from the corners of their eyes from time to time.

Yang Zhengshan approached and carefully examined their physical condition.

At first, he didn't notice anything wrong, but as his soul connected with the core of the Spirit Source Land and his spiritual sense was enhanced, he immediately discovered that there were actually countless tiny red worms hidden inside the bodies of these three people.

He didn't know about the Blood-Weeping Gu, but that didn't stop him from being certain that these little insects were the source of the three people's misfortune.

"Go and invite Master Xuanzhen!"

Yang Zhengshan observed the Blood-Weeping Gu and gave instructions.

The small insect was releasing some kind of toxin into the three people's bodies, causing them to fall into a state of hallucination from which they could not extricate themselves.

He could get rid of these little bugs, but it would take a long time, and he might need to prepare a pill formula and refine a batch of pills.

In comparison, Xuanzhen should have an easy time dealing with these small insects.

He thought for a moment, then took out an antidote pill and a calming pill and gave them to the three of them.

"Go to Tian Shu Tower and ask Wu Xiang Sect if something has happened," Yang Zhengshan instructed Wu Zhan.

Yang Mingcheng and Ding Qiu went to the Wuxiang Sect to participate in the Martial Immortal Ceremony on his orders. Now that the two have returned, and even brought Lu Fusheng back with them, it's clear that they've encountered some kind of problem.

"Yes!" Wu Zhan replied and quickly left.

At this moment, Xuanzhen also arrived at the Reception Hall.

"What happened?" Xuanzhen asked.

"Come and see."

Yang Zhengshan quickly said, "There are tiny worms inside their bodies. These worms have a faint smell of blood and also release some kind of toxin."

"Does your Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra work on these little insects?"

Xuanzhen stepped forward to examine it, then thought for a moment, and said, "We can try it first!"

Gu worms are not uncommon, and many martial artists like to use them. However, immortal cultivators rarely use them because their spiritual sense is strong and they can more easily detect the presence of Gu worms.

Furthermore, cultivators prefer to raise spirit beasts and spirit insects. Spirit insects are more powerful than Gu worms and generally possess special abilities. They can not only be used to fight enemies but also provide resources for cultivators.

Just like snow silkworms, crystallized demon spiders, and spirit amber moths, the bodies of crystallized demon spiders are excellent spiritual materials, while spirit amber moths can not only serve as food for golden-feathered fire crows, but also secrete spirit amber, which is a first-tier spiritual medicine.

The most numerous spirit insects raised in the Spirit Source Land are the Snow Silkworm and the Spirit Amber Moth.

"Heaven and earth are natural, impurities disperse, the cave is mysterious and vast, the primordial energy shines brightly..."

Xuanzhen's chanting echoed in the hall, and instantly golden light enveloped Yang Mingcheng and the other two. Wisps of blood-red mist drifted out from their bodies and immediately dissipated into the golden light.

In just a short while, Yang Mingcheng and the other two stopped trembling, their eyes stopped darting around, and they simply closed their eyes slightly and their breathing became steady.

"That should do it!" Xuanzhen stopped chanting and said.

Yang Zhengshan examined them and said, "Hmm, they've been mentally exhausted and need some time to recover, but otherwise they're fine."

The biggest weakness of a Golden Body Realm martial artist is that their soul is not strong enough, and the poison of the Blood-Weeping Gu is specifically designed to target the soul. Even a Soul Realm martial artist cannot withstand it, let alone a Golden Body Realm martial artist.

Fortunately, the three were poisoned for a very short time, and Xuan Qing cleaned them up in time, which prevented them from suffering too much harm.

"Send them home to recuperate first!" Yang Zhengshan instructed Wu Zhan.

Wu Zhan looked at Lu Fusheng, "How should we deal with this one?"

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Arrange for someone to send him back to the Lu family."

Lu Fusheng is not suitable to stay in the Spirit Source Land, and fortunately he is currently unconscious, so he doesn't need to keep the secret.

Even if he were conscious, it wouldn't matter; he was just inside the Reception Hall and knew nothing about the Spirit Source Land.

"Let Minghao deliver it; he's more familiar with the Lu family!"

"Here!"

Wu Zhan responded and immediately arranged for someone to take Yang Mingcheng and Ding Qiu home first, and then sent someone to invite Yang Minghao.

Yang Zhengshan and Xuanzhen walked out of the Reception Hall side by side and arrived at the Tian Shu Tower.

"What's going on?" Xuanzhen asked.

"I don't know, maybe something went wrong with the Wuxiang Sect!" Yang Zhengshan said.

When the two arrived at Tian Shu Tower, the tower was in a state of chaos.

Information was transmitted back to Tian Shu Tower from the outside world. The members of Tian Shu Tower were responsible for recording, analyzing, and summarizing the information.

The more messages came back, the busier everyone became.

"Grandfather! Senior Xuanzhen!"

Yang Chengye came over to greet him.

"How is it? Have you received any news?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yang Chengye shook his head slightly, "At present, all we know is that a large formation has appeared within the Wuxiang Sect, sealing off both the inside and outside, and enveloping the plaza where the Martial Immortal Tournament is being held."

"The situation inside the formation is still unknown. Even the disciples of the Wuxiang Sect are completely unaware of it."

Yang Zhengshan continued, "Who are the people inside the formation?"

"There are many more. The three sects and twelve families, several major families in the Wanlin Mountain Range, and the Youyu Sect have all sent people to participate in the Martial Immortal Ceremony."

"Lin Daoyuan, Yue'e, and Han Jiangche from Youyu Sect all participated and are probably inside the formation now."

Yang Chengye said.

After listening, Yang Zhengshan's expression suddenly became serious.

Are Lin Daoyuan and Yue'e both inside the formation?

Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian of the Wuxiang Sect must also be in the formation.

Does that mean that all the Divine Soul Realm warriors in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty are trapped inside the formation?

Add to that the Golden Body Realm warriors; if they can't get out of the formation, wouldn't this wipe out most of the powerful figures in the Spirit Sea?
"Who has such a large budget?"

Yang Zhengshan was somewhat shocked.

If everyone who enters the formation perishes, then the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty will also perish.

Without a powerful expert at the Divine Soul Realm to guard it, the three major sects simply cannot protect the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. And without the protection of the three major sects, the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty will inevitably change hands.

You should know that the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty is also a rare treasure!

At that time, many forces will likely set their sights on the treasure land of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

Hidden Sword Mountain will definitely get involved, but given their strength, it's estimated they'll have a hard time occupying the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. The Netherworld Sect will certainly also try to seize the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, as they've had this idea for a while.

There's also the Skylark Clan of Cangyu Mountain. Perhaps the Skylark Clan prefers to stay in the mountains, but they would certainly like to occupy this precious land of the Lingxiu Sea.

There are other immortal cultivation forces as well, and it's hard to guarantee they won't have their own ideas.

Even the White Cloud Immortal City might be tempted by the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

With a Divine Soul Realm martial artist guarding the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, White Cloud Immortal City wouldn't have any designs on it. After all, suppressing a Divine Soul Realm martial artist would require a Golden Core cultivator to personally intervene.

However, if the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty is not guarded by a martial artist at the Divine Soul Realm, then the White Cloud Immortal City may have some other concerns.

Even if the higher-ups of Baiyun Immortal City don't have such intentions, it's hard to guarantee that other forces within Baiyun Immortal City won't, such as the Yunye Alliance, don't.

The question then arises: if the situation changes in this way, what impact will it have on the Land of Spiritual Origin?
Yang Zhengshan was filled with mixed emotions, weighing the advantages and disadvantages brought about by the changing situation.

The downside is that the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty will fall into turmoil, and the interests of the Spiritual Source Land in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty will inevitably be damaged.

Moreover, the Yang family is likely to be drawn into this turmoil and will be constantly embroiled in conflicts with various forces.

There are also advantages. With the situation in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty out of control, the Land of Spiritual Origin will have the opportunity to occupy more territory and gain more benefits.

It's impossible to occupy the entire Lingxiu Sea, but it's not a problem to occupy a few more spiritual veins.

He pondered it carefully for a while, and then his mind calmed down.

Because no matter how the situation in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty changes, the Land of Spiritual Origin can actually guarantee its own stability.

After all, he is now an eighth-rank guest elder of Wanbaohang, a well-known figure in Baiyun Immortal City, not some nobody.

With the backing of Wanbaohang's influence, he couldn't guarantee that the Yang family would gain more benefits in the Lingxiu Sea, but he could ensure that the Yang family's interests in the Lingxiu Sea would not be greatly damaged.

With that confidence, he no longer needed to worry too much.

"Let's go and take a look at the Wuxiang Sect."

Yang Zhengshan said to Xuanzhen.

Xuanzhen naturally wouldn't refuse; he was also very interested in the situation of the Wuxiang Sect.

……

The Formless School.

At this moment, a large portion of the Wuxiang Sect was enveloped by the Blood Spider Immortal-Trapping Array.

A thick, blood-red mist permeated the pavilions, towers, temples, and pagodas, separating the area inside and outside the formation into two separate worlds.

When Yang Zhengshan and Xuanzhen arrived at the Wuxiang Sect, the entire sect was already in chaos.

The disciples of the Wuxiang Sect were running around like headless flies, not knowing what to do.

Meanwhile, the remaining high-ranking members of the Wuxiang Sect were like ants on a hot pan, completely bewildered by the situation.

"Master Yang!"

When Yang Zhengshan arrived, Yunxiao had already arrived. Upon seeing Yang Zhengshan, Yunxiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately came over to greet him.

Besides Yunxiao, there were also Yunxi and Jieyan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Wuxiang Sect.

"Senior! What's going on?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

At this time, Yunxiao's cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, making him the most powerful immortal cultivator in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

Yunxiao looked at the churning blood mist and shook his head slightly. "I don't know, I've only been here a short time!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at Jie Yan, "Senior Jie doesn't know either!"

Jieyan is also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but his presence is even less noticeable than Yunxiao's before, and his status in the Wuxiang Sect is not high.

Because the Wuxiang Sect also has a Buddhist lineage, Jieyan's position as a cultivator within the Wuxiang Sect is even more awkward.

Buddhism is not prevalent in the Wanhua Domain, with only a few lineages passed down, which has resulted in the vast Wanhua Domain having few Buddhist masters.

It's unclear what level the Buddhist cultivation lineage of the Wuxiang Sect is at, but the sect values ​​it highly and trains Buddhist cultivators. However, in recent centuries, the Wuxiang Sect hasn't produced any noteworthy Buddhist cultivation masters.

Jieyan looked to be in his forties, with an ordinary appearance and unremarkable demeanor. He seemed quite ordinary, lacking the imposing presence and majesty of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"I don't know either. Today is the Martial Immortal Ceremony of Elder Zhang. Everyone went to participate in the ceremony. I missed the ceremony because I was in seclusion for cultivation!" Jieyan explained.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know if his explanation was true, and now was not the time to worry about such things.

He then looked at Yunxiao and asked, "Senior Yunxiao, what should we do next?"

Just then, Liu Yue and Yue Ming arrived at full speed.

"Senior Yang!" Liu Yue's face lit up with joy when she saw Yang Zhengshan.

"Well, now's not the time for formalities. Since you're here, why don't you take a look at the situation first?" Yang Zhengshan said.

Liu Yue didn't ask any more questions. She hovered beside Yang Zhengshan, quietly observing the blood-red mist below.

Yunxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "The Supreme Elder is still inside the formation. Let's break the formation first!"

Yang Zhengshan could be indifferent to Lin Daoyuan's life or death, but Yunxiao could not be indifferent.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan didn't care much about Yue'e's life or death. Although he was still a guest elder of the Huan Yue Sect, he didn't really have much of a relationship with Yue'e. He had only met Yue'e once.

If it were Yue Qing trapped inside, he would care more, since he and Yue Qing were old acquaintances, and Yue Qing had always maintained the cooperation between the Illusion Moon Sect and the Yang family.

"Break the formation? How do we break it?" Yang Zhengshan scratched his head.

"Where are your two disciples who are skilled in formations?" Yunxiao asked.

"They probably can't break this evil formation!" Yang Zhengshan shook his head.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun's array formation skills are quite good, especially now that Ma Qiuyan is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As her cultivation level improves, her array formation skills will definitely rise as well.

However, Ma Qiuyan's weakness is also obvious: she is too young and her expertise in array formations is not very profound.

She was able to set up the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation because she and Ning Yun had specifically studied this formation.

In short, Ma Qiuyan is only proficient in the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation and related formations. As for other major formations, she is still at the first-tier level, or even below the first-tier level.

The formation in front of her was clearly not one that Ma Qiuyan was good at; she probably had never even encountered such a formation before.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhengshan still called Ma Qiuyan over.

As he expected, Ma Qiuyan simply looked around the blood-red mist, then shook her head and said, "Master, this formation seems to be somewhat related to the Blood Fiend Formation."

Yang Zhengshan understood her meaning perfectly well. He disliked anything related to Yin Sha and Blood Sha, and would destroy it if he obtained it.

Therefore, there is no such inheritance in the land of spiritual origin. Ma Qiuyan has never even seen it, let alone studied it.

"It's alright, just watch. If it really comes down to it, we'll break the formation by force!"

Yang Zhengshan looked up at the clouds again.

Yunxiao had no other choice but to nod, "We have no choice but to break the formation by force!"

There are not many immortal cultivators in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty to begin with, and not a single immortal cultivator or array master has even reached a high level.

As for martial arts formation masters, there are some in the Lingxiu Sea, but without spiritual awareness, their understanding of formations is rather one-sided, not as good as Ma Qiuyan's.
