Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 966 How can there be no reason not to fight?

"There's another question. If I obtain an extraordinary treasure from it, will I attract the attention of Golden Core cultivators?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Zhong Lixia looked at him with a smile, "What do you think!"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard. Well, the question he asked was a bit silly.

Golden Core cultivators don't reason with you. If you're sensible, you should offer your treasures to them, and they might even protect you.

If you don't know what's good for you, then you deserve to be hunted down by Golden Core cultivators.

When will the Sun Cave Heaven fall?

"Three to five months!"

"where is it?"

"Near Emerald Valley!"

Yang Zhengshan was taken aback, "Emerald Valley?"

“That’s right!” Zhong Lixia nodded.

Emerald Valley is located in the southeast of the Cloud Mountain Range, on the edge of the Wanhua Mountain Range. There is a sizable immortal cultivation market there, which can be considered the edge of the White Cloud Immortal City's influence.

Many powerful forces have businesses in Baiyun Immortal City.

"So all the calamities that Baiyun Immortal City has recently suffered are caused by this matter!" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Zhongli Xiayi nodded slightly, "It was the Yellow Springs Palace that made the move. Somehow they got wind of it beforehand, which is why they decided to eliminate White Cloud Immortal City, their competitor, first!"

"The Golden-Winged Eagle Demon King was willing to help the Yellow Springs Palace for this reason, but it never expected that it would perish in White Cloud Immortal City!"

Emerald Valley belongs to White Cloud Immortal City, which naturally has the advantage of being close to the source, but it also makes it a thorn in the side of other forces.

It's understandable that the Yellow Springs Palace is targeting White Cloud Immortal City.

But~
"Isn't the Yellow Springs Palace afraid of attracting the hostility of other forces?" Yang Zhengshan asked doubtfully.

The Yellow Springs Palace is, after all, a force of ghost cultivators. Ghost cultivators have never been favored by immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators will enslave ghost cultivators, but very few are willing to be brothers with ghost cultivators.

For example, the Impermanent Ghost Sect, although it is called the Ghost Sect, is not a sect of ghost cultivators, but a sect that is good at enslaving ghost cultivators.

“Heh, they still care about these things?” Zhongli Xiayi said.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and realized that it made sense. The Yellow Springs Palace was originally outside the orthodox world of immortal cultivation, so they naturally wouldn't care about the opinions of immortal cultivators.

Moreover, obtaining resources is much more difficult for them than for immortal cultivators. This fall of the Sun Cave Heaven is a very rare opportunity for them, and it is worth taking any risk.

"Will Wanbaohang also get involved then?"

"Yes, it's not just Wanbaohang; many other forces will get involved!"

"A lot? What kinds?"

"The main force will be those within the Wanhua Mountains, but other forces capable of crossing the Wanhua Mountains will likely also participate!" Zhong Lixia tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"So if you want to get involved, you must be extremely cautious!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded solemnly; he finally understood what Zhongli Xiayi meant by danger.

There are forces within the Wanhua Mountains, as well as forces from the east of the Wanhua Mountains.

That was no longer just three or five forces, but dozens of forces mixed together.

The Demon Court in the Wanhua Mountains will definitely get involved, along with some hidden forces within the Wanhua Mountains.

As for the forces that cross the Wanhua Mountains, Wanbaohang is one of them, as is Tianjige, and there is also Wuchangguizong.

At that time, all these forces will definitely get involved.

That makes sense. That's the Sun Cave Heaven, where there might be things that would make even a Golden Core cultivator risk their life. Anyone who knows the inside story probably wants to come and try their luck.

At that time, it will definitely be the Golden Core cultivators' domain, and these Foundation Establishment cultivators will probably just be a bunch of small fry.

"Then why do you want to go back?" Yang Zhengshan recalled that Zhong Lixia wanted to return to Taoyuan Mountain at this time.

“Tianbao Zhenjun is my elder brother! He doesn’t want me to take any risks!” Zhongli Xiayi said calmly.

Yang Zhengshan stared at her in astonishment. "Tianbao Zhenjun is your elder brother?"

"Any questions?"

"How old is the Heavenly Treasure True Lord?"

"Over three hundred years old!"

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and said, "Okay, it doesn't seem like it's impossible."

It's not a big deal if the siblings are a hundred years apart, after all, Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of three hundred years.

I never expected that True Monarch Tianbao would be so young; it seems he has only recently formed his core.

He hadn't expected Zhongli Xiayi to have such a background. Tsk tsk, the sister of a Golden Core cultivator. No wonder Zhongli Xiayi had such great authority in Wanbao Bank. It turns out she had a Golden Core elder brother behind her.

"Can we talk about what happened today?" Yang Zhengshan asked again.

“Yes, although the news hasn’t spread yet, it’s estimated that it won’t be long before everyone knows about it!” Zhongli Xiayi said.

Such big news is difficult to keep secret, and the previous actions of the Yellow Springs Palace against White Cloud Immortal City have already attracted a lot of attention. Any powerful force with some strength could probably find out some information from it.

And as long as they get even the slightest bit of information, no one will give up.

"I understand!"

Yang Zhengshan stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist!"

He must remember this favor.

Although he may receive this information from other places later, it will certainly be much later and the information will not be as detailed.

"Alas, I don't know if this is an opportunity or a calamity!" Zhongli Xiayi sighed.

"Whether it's an opportunity or a calamity, you have to try it to find out." Yang Zhengshan didn't have that many thoughts.

He definitely wants to venture into the Sun Cave Heaven, because it might be the best opportunity he'll ever have to achieve Core Formation.

Having missed this opportunity, he doesn't know how much time he'll have to spend collecting Core Formation materials.

……

After leaving Zhong Lixia's place, Yang Zhengshan returned to his courtyard and fell into complicated thoughts.

There must be a lot of resources in the Sun Cave Heaven, whether they are resources left behind by the Sun True Sect or resources that have grown naturally in the Sun Cave Heaven over the past ten thousand years, the amount of which is unimaginable.

I definitely want to go, but what preparations do I need to make?

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan thought of a very serious problem.

When the cave falls, space becomes chaotic. So the question is, can he still use the Spirit Source Land to teleport?
If he couldn't, wouldn't he have lost his greatest reliance? "Even Golden Core cultivators have to be cautious about spatial disorder, so I probably won't be able to use the Spirit Source Land for teleportation. Not only that, but I probably won't be able to use spatial transfer methods like Minor Teleportation Talismans or Teleportation Arrays either!"

"In that case, we must be extremely cautious!"

"The opportunity to form the Golden Core is right before our eyes; how can we not seize it?"

"But this opportunity can only be seized by oneself!"

Yang Zhengshan was deep in thought and considered many things.

It's obvious without even thinking that the fall of the Sun Cave Heaven will inevitably become a battleground for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Those without a cultivation level of at least the late Foundation Establishment stage should ideally not participate.

Of all those from the Land of Spiritual Origin, only Yang Zhengshan is qualified to participate in this competition.

As for Cangjian Mountain, to be honest, he didn't have much trust in it. Although he wanted to befriend Cangjian Mountain and thought Jian Changhe was a decent person, he hadn't yet established trust with it.

In contrast, he trusted Yunxiao more, after all, the two had known each other for decades.

After thinking it over for a long time, Yang Zhengshan felt he should talk to Yunxiao about this matter.

Afterwards, he went to the cave where Yunxiao was renting and told him in detail about the Sun Cave.

Yunxiao was first shocked, then happy, and then his face became solemn.

"That means we all have a chance to enter the Sun Cave!" Yunxiao said.

“That’s right. When the cave heaven falls, it will inevitably overlap with the main world. At that time, many spatial rifts will appear, and we can enter the cave heaven through the rifts,” Yang Zhengshan said.

The "fall of the grotto-heaven" does not mean that the grotto-heaven falls from the sky, but rather that the grotto-heaven approaches the main world from the void, crashes into the spatial barrier of the main world, and then merges with the main world.

It's like blowing bubbles; a small bubble touches a large bubble and then merges into it.

After the cave heaven falls, all the matter in the cave heaven will appear in the main world. This is actually a huge disaster, because the cave heaven contains mountains, rivers, vast land or sea. After the fall, there is a high possibility of a cataclysmic disaster.

If the Spirit Source Land were to fall, it would be a vast area of ​​two thousand miles in circumference, containing numerous mountains. Once the Spirit Source Land were to merge into the main world, it would alter the terrain within that two thousand miles. During this alteration, countless natural disasters would inevitably occur.

During the process of the cave heaven merging into the main world, the first phenomenon to appear is the void rift, which forms channels connecting the main world and the cave heaven, just like the portals of the cave heaven.

However, the portals to the grotto-heavens are controllable and orderly, while the rifts in the void are uncontrollable and disordered.

Even Golden Core cultivators cannot control the Void Rift, which is why Foundation Establishment cultivators have the opportunity to enter the cave heaven ahead of schedule.

In the hall, Yunxiao stood up and paced back and forth, his expression changing repeatedly, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp.

"We absolutely have to go!"

He gritted his teeth and said.

Unlike Yang Zhengshan, who is still young and has time to prepare for Core Formation even if he misses this opportunity, he is different.

If he doesn't go, he'll probably never have the chance to form his core in this lifetime.

If he goes, he might still have a sliver of a chance.

“I’ll go with you to explore this Sun Cave!” Yunxiao said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Alright, in that case, let's go back and make some preparations!"

"Uh, Yunxi!" Yunxiao hadn't forgotten about Yunxi.

Yang Zhengshan laughed and said, "If we can return from the Sun Cave Heaven, would we be reluctant to give her a few portions of third-tier spiritual materials?"

Compared to the opportunity to form a Golden Core, the third-tier spiritual materials for refining magic weapons are not considered precious.

There is no doubt that there are many spiritual materials suitable for refining weapons within the Sun Cave.

Elixirs may lose their effectiveness over time, and spiritual herbs and plants may wither and die due to environmental changes, but minerals and the like can withstand the erosion of tens of thousands of years.

As an ancient sect, the Sun True Sect must have a large reserve of spiritual materials.

They risked going in; surely they wouldn't come back empty-handed.

“That’s right, I’ll take her back with me!” Yunxiao thought it made sense and smiled.

Afterwards, the two hurriedly left Baiyun Immortal City with Yunxi.

Yunxi was a little confused by them, but after hearing Yunxiao's explanation, she also had the idea of ​​trying to explore the Sun Cave.

On the jade cloud boat, Yang Zhengshan said while controlling the boat, "You should just give up. With your cultivation level, entering the Sun Cave Heaven is just suicide!"

"Senior, are you looking down on me?" Yunxi asked, somewhat displeased.

"It's not that I look down on you, it's just that you're really not good enough!" Yang Zhengshan said bluntly.

Emerald Valley is located on the outskirts of the Wanhua Mountains. Once the Sun Cave Heaven falls, the demons of the Wanhua Mountains will surely go crazy for it, since the demons' thirst for resources is even greater than that of human cultivators.

Not to mention the Wanhua Demon Court, even the demon kings would definitely send all the demon beasts under their command into the cave heaven.

It is difficult for someone in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment to protect themselves, and even for someone in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it is not an easy thing to get out unscathed.

Yunxiao also said, "Yunxi, this is not a joke."

Yunxi looked at Yunxiao and saw his serious expression, so she could only sigh helplessly.

Upon returning to Mianyun Continent, Yang Zhengshan immediately went back to the Spirit Source Land.

He had a lot to prepare this time. First of all, he was unsure whether he could still connect to the Spirit Source Land when he fell into the cave.

The spatial disorder will inevitably affect his connection with the Spirit Source Land, even if his soul has merged into the origin of the Spirit Source Land.

In other words, he not only had to consider the situation where he couldn't use the Spirit Source Land for teleportation, but also the situation where he couldn't use the Spirit Source Land as a storage space.

Therefore, he needs to prepare several storage bags.

He simply had Ma Qiuyan sew a new set of robes for him, attaching the storage space directly to the robes.

Secondly, he needs to prepare various combat items and talismans, a large number of talismans, the more the better.

Although Yang Zhengshan wasn't good at using talismans, he could still use them. At worst, he could just throw a talisman at someone, activate it, and then throw it away.

Of course, this method of use is wasteful, but Yang Zhengshan can afford to waste it.

Next came the pills—medicines to treat injuries, restore mana, nourish the soul, detoxify, and so on. Anything that might be useful had to be prepared.

Finally, there are other miscellaneous items.

Yang Zhengshan simply summoned all his disciples for a brainstorming session.

To avoid overlooking certain things.

This is a real risk, so we must be fully prepared.
