Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 240 Yi Taizhen

After Yi Taizhen flew out of Zijin Mountain and parted with Yi Shounan, her expression calmed down.

Yi Taizhen really didn't care much about whether the Yi family was strong or not, or what the future would be like. The Yi family of Zijin Mountain was Yi Dong's Yi family, not the Yi family of the Yi family, and certainly not his, Yi Taizhen's, Yi family.

Now he is still unwilling to leave the Yi family.

Although this was the first time he met Yi Dong, he naturally knew a lot about Yi Dong.

He was very sure that if he had not proposed the plan to let the Yi family dominate Qingzhou this time, Yi Dong would most likely push him down from the position of head of the family.

As early as ten years ago, Yi Dong asked Yi Shounan to look for a new head of the family.

If he hadn't worked hard to please Dongfanghong and Mumu, he might not have been the head of the family long ago.

The core of the Yi family in Zijin Mountain will always be Yi Dong's family. Even if Yi Taizhen is from the lineage of Yi Feng and can be considered a descendant of Yi Dong, her weight in Yi Dong's heart is probably not that high.

Moreover, he sent messages to Yi Feng many times, but Yi Feng never gave any reply. Obviously, in Yi Feng's eyes, there was no such person as Yi Taizhen.

If Yi Dong's family is united, Yi Dong will have the final say in the entire Yi family.

Yi Dong not only controls various puppets that represent the Yi family's strongest combat power, but his children are also geniuses of the fairyland, and their strength far exceeds that of the Yi family members.

In addition to his strength, Yi Dong also possesses the ancient cultivation heritage of the Yi family.

Even if Yi Taizhen relied on the power of the Yi family, she could only obtain some inheritance of the spirit transformation.

Even the forces in Kunxu's immortal cultivation world were unwilling to give him the Fanxu inheritance even if they offered him a spiritual object like the Tianyi Immortal Vine that was comparable to the rare treasures in the immortal palace.

The Return to Void inheritance and the Hedao Heavenly Book are both extremely precious items in the Tiandu Spiritual World and the Kunxu Spiritual World, and it is impossible to simply trade them.

Moreover, many members of the Yi family speculated that Yi Dong might have the inheritance of the Hedao Heavenly Book in his hands.

Because every inheritance of the Divine Transformation passed down by the Yi family is extremely exquisite, far from comparable to the rubbish inheritances collected by Yi Taizhen.

The strength of Yi Dong's family surpasses that of everyone in the Yi family, and the inheritance above the Divine Transformation level is in their hands.

In this situation, no one can shake Yi Dong's position.

This means that no matter how well Yi Taizhen does as the head of the family, Yi Dong can make him lose his position with just one word.

Yi Taizhen shook her head. Yi Dong’s position could not be replaced by any means.

He witnessed the battle between the Baolian Puppet and the Five-Colored Peacock, and knew that the Baolian Puppet was the strongest puppet in Yi Dong's hands, and was also the current guardian of the Yi family.

The Baolian puppet has the strength to fight against true spirits, which means that unless there are many Hedao True Immortals surrounding and killing him, the probability of Yi Dong getting into an accident is very low.

Now, he can only lie dormant and slowly become stronger according to Yi Dong's wishes.

Putting aside all distractions, Yi Taizhen flew to a flying boat that had been waiting for him and quickly left Zijin Mountain.

At the ruins of the Zhoutian Mountains, all the spiritual veins had lost their effectiveness due to the extraction of spiritual energy, and all the spiritual plants on them had been harvested.

Now, many members of the Yi family are rebuilding various buildings on it.

On the surface, the spiritual objects that were lost were taken away by the immortal cultivators of Kunxu. In fact, most of them were harvested by the immortal cultivators of the Yi family when they escaped.

Because the immortal cultivators who came from Kunxu this time were basically at the Return to Void stage. How could such people look down upon ordinary first- and second-level spiritual objects? Only the Spirit Source was worth their attention.

Yi Taizhen was well aware of this situation, but he had no way of asking those tribesmen to take out the spiritual objects they had secretly kept, because that would cause him to offend more people.

After returning to Zhoutian Peak, Yi Taizhen met Zhao Xianzong who had been waiting in the hall.

Zhao Xianzong followed Yi Qing at first. After graduating from the intermediate Taoist academy, he failed to be admitted to the higher Taoist academy, and has been living in the Insect Domain ever since.

Yi Qing wanted him to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm many times, but he refused, and then Yi Qing ignored him.

After Yi Taizhen became the head of the family, Zhao Xianzong, as one of the few cultivators with natural spiritual roots in the family, was valued by Yi Taizhen. As the two got to know each other more, they decided to follow Yi Taizhen.

Yi Taizhen's desire to become a Jinxiu was also influenced by Zhao Xianzong.

Now, it was thanks to Zhao Xianzong that he was able to embark on the path of modern cultivation.

It can be said that Zhao Xianzong was both a teacher and a friend to Yi Taizhen.

Seeing Yi Taizhen, Zhao Xianzong said:
"Taizhen, are you really not going to enter the Taoist temple?

With the connections of the Yi family, it is not a problem to go to a Taoist academy outside of Qingzhou. If you are admitted to a higher-level Taoist academy, your future will be different."

"It takes six years to graduate from the Intermediate Taoist Academy. Do you think that after I enter the Taoist Academy, the position of the head of the family will still be in my hands?

As for the higher-level Taoist academy, even Yi Feng ignored me. Do you think I can really get in without any connections?"

But Yi Taizhen knew that ever since he became a modern cultivator, the elders and deacons in the six departments of the family who had been neutral began to dislike him and started to side with Yi Shounan.

All the cultivators of the Yi family can see that all of the Yi family’s resources are controlled by Yi Dong’s family.

Yidong's entire family is Jinxiu.

It was natural that those tribesmen would not show any strangeness towards Yi Dong's family.

In the Yi family, even if you accidentally complain about Yi Dong's family, you will be severely punished. The lightest punishment is to be sent to mine, and the worst is to be expelled from the family or even executed underground.

On the surface, the Yi family members were all respectful to the Yi Dong family.

But the resentment in my heart will not disappear.

Since these grievances could not be directed at Yi Dong's family, they would naturally be directed at other people who were also Jin Xiu. It can be said that after becoming a Jin Xiu, Yi Taizhen's situation was more difficult than before.

Of course, there are also many young and energetic tribesmen who admire Yi Taizhen, who has become a cultivator today, even more and follow him.

Zhao Xianzong knew Yi Taizhen's situation. Seeing this, he could not help but advise:

“Even if you can’t continue to be the head of the family, with the resources you have accumulated, you can go to other places freely.

At worst, go to a lower-class state, away from the Yi family."

Yi Taizhen shook her head.

Over the years, he has done many things that have offended many cultivators in the family.

If he betrayed the family, Yi Dong might not even need to give the order, as many members of the Yi family would take the initiative to undertake the task of hunting him down.

On the one hand, there is hatred, and on the other hand, there are the resources he has secretly withheld over the years.

Not to mention the problem of being hunted down by the Yi family, if he lost his identity as the head of the Yi family, he might be secretly killed by other cultivators even if he went to other states.

Even though many members of the family now follow his lead, if he did not have the status of the family head, the now very obedient Nascent Soul and even Golden Core and Foundation Establishment members would kill him.

Cultivators are generally very realistic, and most of them are loyal to themselves.

This is also the reason why Yi Taizhen did not lead a group of Yi family members to the Kunxu spiritual world.

If you go to the Kunxu spiritual world, even if you join the immortal sect there, you will probably end up becoming someone else's prey or even research material.

Yi Taizhen is not like those previous family heads who basically presided over the ancestor worship ceremonies. Now he has reached this point and has encroached on the interests of many Yuanying people. He cannot stop and can only move forward. If he loses his status as family head, even the Yi family's clan laws and regulations may not be able to save him.

"Notify the elders of the six ministries to come and discuss the matter."

After Zhao Xianzong left for a while, Nascent Soul cultivators came to Zhoutian Peak one after another and stepped into the main hall.

Many people looked at Yi Taizhen, who was still sitting in the seat of the head of the family, with strange expressions on their faces.

Some people had already received the news from Yi Shounan, and their expressions did not change at all.

"Many years ago, there was news that the head of the family was going to be replaced. I didn't expect that until now, the head of the family is still Yi Taizhen."

"The head of our Yi family has always been a mortal. Now that Yi Taizhen has become an immortal cultivator, she should take the initiative to abdicate.

Now he still occupies the position of the head of the family, which is really ungrateful."

“There’s no other way. With the position of the Patriarch, his annual income is in the tens of millions of spirit stones. How could he be willing to give it up?
Moreover, Jin Xiu's cultivation consumes a lot of energy. Without the position of the patriarch, how can he continue to cultivate?"

The Nascent Soul cultivators communicated with each other through voice without restraint.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who can enter this hall are either elders of the six ministries or some managers who hold great power.

These people don't have a good impression of Yi Taizhen, the head of the family.

The Yi family has only so much power.

If Yi Taizhen became a family head who was only responsible for ancestor worship, they would have more power.

It was not until Yi Shounan and Yi Fu walked into the hall that the cultivators present stopped communicating with each other.

After seeing that most of the people who held the core power in the family were present, Yi Taizhen stood up with a smile.
"Unlike other immortal cultivation families that rank people by their level of cultivation, our Yi family follows the order of generations. The elders are in order and the family is harmonious. Our Yi family's family tradition is well-known throughout Qingzhou.

Originally, you are all Taizhen's elders, and Taizhen should maintain a respectful attitude towards all of you elders.

It’s just that our Yi family has reached a critical period of development, and it concerns the inheritance of the Yi family. If anyone feels uncomfortable with what Taizhen said next, I apologize here first. "

As she spoke, Yi Taizhen bowed slightly to the elders present.

After standing up again, the humility on Yi Taizhen's face disappeared, leaving only coldness.

“In the beginning, the Yi family of Zijin Mountain only had one second-level spiritual vein in Zijin Mountain.

Under the leadership of the ancestor, in just three hundred years.

Our Yi family first took control of Xia County, and then dominated the entire Pingyuan County.

Every major disaster in Qingzhou is an opportunity for our Yi family, and this time is no exception.

During these three hundred years, our Yi family has developed at a very fast speed, which is inseparable from the guidance of our ancestors. The sacrifices of many elders are also worthy of recognition. Now, we must continue to carry forward the spirit of fearlessness of sacrifice of those elders who died fighting for the Yi family, and let the Yi family move forward.

Now, I have received instructions from the ancestor. Our Yi family will plan the entire Qingzhou. In the future, Qingzhou will become what our Yi family wants it to be.

Elders, does anyone have any objections? "

As soon as Yi Taizhen finished speaking, the elders were speechless.

Yi Taizhen mentioned the ancestor many times in one sentence.

It was difficult for everyone present, even Yi Shounan and Yi Fu, to say "no".

Seeing that no one spoke, Yi Taizhen nodded and began to talk about his arrangements.

Even if these elders were dissatisfied with Yi Taizhen in their hearts, now that Yi Taizhen was using the name of Yi Dong, they could only make things difficult for Yi Taizhen in terms of details.

Soon, Yi Taizhen discussed with many elders about letting those people establish branches, take away those resources and so on.
