Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 989 The Giant Sun Mountain, True Yang Immortal City

Leaving aside the entanglement between True Monarch Baiyun and Old Ghost Huangquan, more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators were still engaged in a chaotic battle at the ruins of the Sun Cave.

However, their battle was much milder, not to the point of life and death; at most, they just exchanged blows and tested each other.

Golden Core cultivators are different from Foundation Establishment cultivators. It is common for Foundation Establishment cultivators to risk their lives for the opportunity to form a Core, but it is too difficult for Golden Core cultivators to advance further, and ordinary resources can hardly bring them much improvement.

Even legendary rare treasures, or exotic flames like the True Fire of the Sun, cannot bring significant improvement to Golden Core cultivators.

In addition, they have a lifespan of thousands of years, giving them plenty of time to collect various cultivation resources, so they rarely risk their lives under normal circumstances.

The battle between the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators revolved around the twelve Lava Gods, and their targets also included the True Sun Fire and the True Yang Staff, the vessel that contained it.

The True Yang Staff is a spiritual treasure of a grade above spiritual artifact. It has the bones of nine suns' refined gold, the body of a section of the Fusang Divine Tree, and the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit as its guide. It was forged by being baked by the scorching sun for ten thousand years, thus obtaining the origin of the true fire of the sun.

The most precious treasure in the Sun Cave is this True Yang Staff.

The twelve lava gods also guard this True Yang Staff, and the True Sun Fire also originated from this True Yang Staff.

For Golden Core cultivators, spiritual treasures are truly rare and precious items.

Besides the True Yang Staff, the twelve Lava Gods were also rare treasures.

A third-tier puppet, and one left behind by the Sun True Sect at that. Even Golden Core cultivators would covet such a puppet.

Therefore, the main target of these dozen or so Golden Core cultivators was the True Yang Staff, the secondary target was the twelve Lava Gods, and then the other items and resources left behind in the Sun Cave.

Of course, Golden Core cultivators also like spiritual artifacts and third-tier spiritual plants, but these are just extras, not their main goal.

The battle in the Sun Cave Heaven Ruins lasted for two days and one night, until all twelve Lava Gods were defeated, and until the True Yang Staff was held in the hands of a young Taoist priest wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe and holding a whisk.

"Hehe, everyone, the True Yang Staff belongs to my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. None of you own one, do you?" The old Taoist with the canopy held a whisk in one hand and the True Yang Staff in the other, and said with a smile.

A group of Golden Core cultivators around him stared at him, their expressions turning somewhat unpleasant.

The towering bear king glared with his round eyes and said, "Fine, my Demon Court will not argue with you anymore!"

"The Bear King is so magnanimous!" the old Taoist priest Huagai said with a smile.

Xiong Bawang snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He's not magnanimous; he just can't win the argument.

Hua Gai Laodao has the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, and the Tianji Pavilion is most skilled at scheming against people in secret. Even he is extremely wary of Hua Gai Laodao.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, then dispersed, all giving up the idea of ​​vying for the True Yang Staff.

There's no point in arguing anymore now that things have come to this.

Moreover, if this offends the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

As the crowd dispersed, the old Taoist priest with the canopy flicked his whisk and put away his True Yang Staff.

"Today, the old Taoist priest is the biggest winner!"

His mouth split open, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.

……

The impact of the fall of the Sun Cave Heaven went far beyond this. Although the treasures left behind by the Sun Cave Heaven had been almost completely swept away after two rounds of looting, the remaining cave heaven ruins were still a treasure trove.

It should be noted that the Sun Cave Heaven was approximately a thousand miles in circumference. After the fall, the Sun Cave Heaven created a giant mountain range covering a thousand miles in circumference.

The Sun Cave contains spiritual veins, spiritual mines, and fire veins created by the true fire of the sun. Although the True Yang Staff has been taken away, the fire veins created by the true fire of the sun have not disappeared.

Therefore, at this time, the Sun Mountain was a vast treasure trove.

A treasure trove for fire-attribute cultivators.

Such a treasure trove naturally attracts the attention of many forces, and many forces want to develop the resources on the Sun Giant Mountain.

However, due to the involvement of many powerful forces, the struggle for Mount Sun has mainly remained at the negotiating table.

The Sun Giant Mountain was located on the outer edge of the Wanhua Mountain Range and is now considered part of the Wanhua Mountain Range. Therefore, it was no surprise that the Wanhua Demon Court gained control of the Sun Giant Mountain.

In addition to the Wanhua Demon Court, the Tianji Pavilion and Wanbaohang will also be located in the Sun Giant Mountain.

As for the Impermanent Ghost Sect, it has a bad reputation. Neither the Myriad Flower Demon Court, nor the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, nor the Myriad Treasures Company wanted to play with them. Therefore, they were excluded from the negotiating table by these three forces immediately.

Soon, the Sun Giant Mountain formed a situation dominated by the Myriad Flower Demon Court, supplemented by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Myriad Treasures Company, as well as the participation of many small Golden Core forces.

Huangquan Laogui ultimately failed to defeat Baiyun Zhenjun. Ten days after the complete collapse of the Sun Cave Heaven, Baiyun Zhenjun safely returned to Baiyun Immortal City.

With True Lord Baiyun present, the Yunye Alliance naturally had to step down and give way to a more capable leader. True Lord Baiyun unsurprisingly regained control of Baiyun Immortal City.

Subsequently, Yun Ge, Yun Fan, and Yun Bi returned, while Yun Chuan and Yun Zhe remained in the Sun Cave.

Previously, True Lord Baiyun had ten disciples, but now only three remain.

However, as long as True Lord Baiyun is still alive, the Baiyun lineage will not fall.

At worst, he can just take on more disciples. A hundred or so years later, True Lord Baiyun will have more than ten disciples under his command.

The first step for True Lord Baiyun upon returning to Baiyun Immortal City was to eliminate the traitors within the city.

The first family to be eliminated was the Kuang family, one of the five great immortal cultivation families of the Yunye Alliance.

The Kuang family are the traitors who have sided with the Yellow Springs Palace. They are the ones who pass on messages to the Yellow Springs Palace and they are the ones who cooperate with the Yellow Springs Palace to incite conflicts among many immortal cultivation families.

As for the fact that the Luo family later gained control of Baiyun Immortal City, True Monarch Baiyun was not angry about it; on the contrary, he praised the Luo family.

"This time, your Luo family has indeed contributed! I know that when the demon race besieged the city, your Luo family fought to the death and refused to retreat. After the White Cloud Daoist lineage lost power, your Luo family has also been trying to maintain my dignity!"

"Luo Cheng, you did a great job!"

Inside the magnificent hall, True Lord Baiyun was still dressed in white, but he sat in the main seat with an imposing aura.

Luo Cheng stood below with his head bowed and eyes lowered, and bowed respectfully, saying, "True Lord is benevolent. The achievements of my Luo family today are all thanks to the favor of the True Lord. I will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the True Lord to my Luo family."

He wasn't flattering me; he was stating the truth.

The Luo family originated a thousand years ago. The reason for its rise was the favor of True Lord Baiyun, who took a disciple from the Luo family, which led to the Luo family's prosperity for a thousand years.

In fact, the five great families of the Cloud Wilderness Alliance are all like this. They have all gained the favor of True Monarch White Cloud, which is why they have become the top immortal cultivation families in White Cloud Immortal City.

True Monarch Baiyun nodded gently and said, "You are a smart man! Go back and select two young men from your family to send over. In the future, your Luo family will surely have a place in the Baiyun lineage!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng was overjoyed and prostrated himself, saying, "On behalf of the entire Luo family, I thank True Lord for his favor!"

"Go!" Lord Baiyun waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Luo Cheng bowed and left the main hall. Baiyun Zhenjun sat on the large Xuan Yu Chen chair, his brows slightly furrowed.

After Luo Cheng left, he asked again, "Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?"

Yun Ge, Yun Fan, and Yun Bi walked dejectedly to the center of the palace, knelt down, and said, "Your disciples are incompetent!"

"Yunhai is dead!" True Monarch Baiyun said coldly.

Yun Ge and the other two touched their foreheads to the ground, not daring to breathe.

Baiyun Zhenjun looked at them coldly and said, "Speak!"

"It was Senior Brother Yunhai who told us to escape!" Yun Ge could only say, forcing a smile. "And then?"

"We went to the Sun Cave Heaven and found the location of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill..." Yun Ge recounted their experience of entering the Sun Cave Heaven.

After listening, True Monarch Baiyun said coldly, "So you gained nothing?"

Yun Ge immediately fell silent.

They couldn't say they gained nothing this time; they did get some things, including a few Core Formation spiritual items. However, compared to the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, what they got was really not much.

True Lord Baiyun wasn't blaming them, but he felt they were disappointing.

In fact, True Lord Baiyun does not value these disciples. He is now over two thousand years old and has taken in more than forty disciples. To him, disciples are more like subordinates.

He is closer to some of his subordinates than others.

The death of his disciple was no longer a big deal to him.

"Who from the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty did you say stole the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill?" True Monarch Baiyun, too lazy to argue with them any longer, turned to ask.

The main reason is that he only has these three disciples left, and Baiyun Immortal City is still unstable and in need of manpower, so he will no longer punish these three disciples.

"Yunxiao swallowed the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, and Yunxiao was sent away by Yang Zhengshan!"

"Yunxiao and Yang Zhengshan are both guest elders of Cangjian Mountain, and Yang Zhengshan is also an eighth-rank guest elder of Wanbaohang!"

Yun Ge explained.

"Yunxiao, Yang Zhengshan!" True Monarch Baiyun revealed a thoughtful expression. "Did Hidden Sword Mountain enter the Sun Cave Heaven?"

“Yes, Jian Guyun, Jian Canghai, and Jian Suxin have all entered the Sun Cave Heaven!” Yun Ge said.

"Where is Jian Changhe?"

He shouldn't have it!

Baiyun Zhenjun rose and slowly walked down the steps. "Jian Changhe is forming his core?"

Yun Ge knelt down and took a few steps back. "Jian Changhe went into seclusion four years ago. As for whether he was forming his core, I don't know!"

Baiyun Zhenjun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the clear sky outside the hall.

"This time, Cangyu Mountain did not make a move!"

"Sparrow Feather is protecting the Sword River!"

"Wow, she's quite loyal!"

True Lord Baiyun murmured softly.

Few people know that Sparrow Feather was originally the spirit pet of Heavenly Sword True Lord, and that Azure Feather Mountain was also established by Heavenly Sword True Lord.

Two thousand years later, Que Lingyu advanced to the third-tier demon king, and the Heavenly Sword True Lord asked her to create Cangyu Mountain.

Too much time has passed, and now people only know that Cangyu Mountain is the ancestral home of the Yunque clan, but they do not know that Cangyu Mountain was once the secluded cultivation place of Tianjian Zhenjun.

Baiyun Zhenjun has never made a move against Cangjian Mountain, not only because he has also received favors and guidance from Tianjian Zhenjun, but also because Cangyu Mountain has always protected Cangjian Mountain.

"Alright, you all go and sort out the affairs in the city first!" said True Monarch Baiyun.

Yun Ge asked softly, "Master, over at the Sun Giant Mountain, what about us..."

He had no intention of getting involved with the Sun Mountain before, but now that True Monarch Baiyun has returned, could they perhaps also get involved in the Sun Mountain?

Baiyun Zhenjun waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this now, I have my own decision!"

The Sun Giant Mountain is neither too far nor too close to White Cloud Immortal City. The two are separated by the Cloud Soaring Mountain Range, which is about four or five thousand miles apart.

All factions that want to develop the Sun Mountain will inevitably build celestial cities on it.

Once the Immortal City is established, it will definitely affect the interests of White Cloud Immortal City.

However, the new immortal city involves too many forces, and even True Monarch Baiyun cannot stop it.

Therefore, True Lord Baiyun will definitely get involved, but as for how much of a share he can get, it probably won't be too much.

These were all things that True Lord Baiyun had already planned.

……

Neither Baiyun Immortal City nor the Sun Giant Mountain had any effect on Yang Zhengshan.

Although he helped Yunxiao seize the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill before, no one is actually paying attention to the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill now, nor do they care about him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The influence of the Sun Mountain was mainly directed at the Wanhua Mountains, while the forces surrounding the Cloud Mountain Range were less affected.

Weakness is the original sin. Apart from Cangyu Mountain, no other force in the entire Yunxiao Mountain Range is qualified to participate in the division of the Sun Giant Mountain.

With Cangyu Mountain remaining inactive, Cangjian Mountain fell silent again, leaving other forces only able to watch with envy.

Yang Zhengshan had been paying close attention to the situation outside. First, Jian Guyun and the other two had safely escaped from the Sun Cave. Although all three had suffered serious injuries, it was already a stroke of luck that they were able to return.

As for their gains, Yang Zhengshan was not very clear about them, nor did he send anyone to inquire.

Secondly, there were the losses suffered by various forces. Several immortal cultivation families in the Qingli Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and an immortal cultivation family in the Southern Wilderness also lost many Foundation Establishment cultivators. There was also the Youyu Sect, which needs no further explanation.

The Netherworld Sect has now completely declined, with only Sheng Youhuang holding it up.

Then there was Baiyun Immortal City. Yang Zhengshan also learned about the return of Baiyun Zhenjun. He was not surprised by this, as he had long suspected that Baiyun Zhenjun was not dead.

Finally, there was news from the Sun Giant Mountain. Yang Zhengshan only paid a little attention to this and didn't investigate it in depth.

For him, the most important thing now is not to go to the Sun Giant Mountain to pick up bargains, but to form his core.

Therefore, upon learning that the Sun Giant Mountain had entered the stage of dividing up the spoils, Yang Zhengshan ordered the Spirit Source Land to shrink its power and cease its outward expansion.

He has made quite a splash in the Spirit Source Land, so it's best for him to avoid attracting attention at this time.

However, the Sun Giant Mountain involves too many powerful forces, any one of which is enough to crush the forces outside the Spirit Source Land. Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Yang Zhengshan plans to let the Spirit Source Land remain silent for a period of time.

As time went by, the outside world continued to be abuzz with noise and disturbance.

A year later, a celestial city rose from the giant sun mountain, and the True Yang Celestial City, with the Myriad Flower Demon Court as its core, was completed.

The completion of the new immortal city has a significant impact on the entire Western Regions of Wanhua.

Previously, all the forces in the Western Regions of Wanhua longed for Baiyun Immortal City, but now their longing has become for Zhenyang Immortal City.

Because Zhenyang Immortal City is located on the Sun Giant Mountain, and many relics from the Sun Cave Heaven still remain in the Sun Giant Mountain.

Magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, spiritual plants, ores, formations, and so on.

There are still many undiscovered opportunities on Mount Sun.

Tempted by the opportunity, a large number of cultivators soon flocked to the Sun Giant Mountain, and a large number of immortal cultivation forces settled in True Yang Immortal City.

In just a few years, Zhenyang Immortal City transformed into a prosperous immortal city.
