Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

”It’s difficult. To make the Nether Prison Sect hesitate, we need a Golden Core Cultivator to intervene, but I, this old man, can’t convince one to help!”

Yang Zhenshan pretended to say helplessly.

This statement wasn’t wrong; indeed, he couldn’t invite a Golden Core Cultivator, and he never claimed that Jade City had any Golden Core Cultivators.

”What if I can persuade the Xuanqing Sect to give Wuxiang Sect to the Yang family?” Yue Qing softly said.

Yang Zhenshan was slightly taken aback, looking at her in surprise, ”Wuxiang Sect?”

Yue Qing nodded, saying, ”That’s right, Wuxiang Sect, including its residence, legacy, and all the assets left behind by Wuxiang Sect!”

Yang Zhenshan stared at her, his gaze growing serious.

Taking down Wuxiang Sect?

This temptation was indeed considerable!

How much legacy does Wuxiang Sect have left now?

When Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian left Wuxiang Sect, they should have taken most of Wuxiang Sect’s foundation with them.

When Jie Yan split from Wuxiang Sect, he should have also taken a lot of Wuxiang Sect’s legacy with him.

Xuanqing Sect taking over Wuxiang Sect would likely scour it as well.

So what’s left of Wuxiang Sect now?

A sect base with a second-order top-grade spiritual vein, a fortified city Wuxiang City, and some things that cannot be taken away, like the Wuxiang Sect’s Sect Protection Array and spirit plants accumulated over thousands of years.

Yue Qing seemed to see through Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts and said, ”When Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian left, they only took some treasures from Wuxiang Sect’s treasury, not all of Wuxiang Sect’s foundation!”

”Jie Yan, when he left, merely took his personal belongings and did not touch Wuxiang Sect at all!”

”Xuanqing Sect only scavenged Wuxiang Sect’s loose assets and did not touch its core!”

”That means more than half of Wuxiang Sect’s foundation is still there!”

She looked directly at Yang Zhenshan, trying to discern some emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Yang Zhenshan mulled over things repeatedly and roughly understood why none of them emptied Wuxiang Sect of its foundation entirely.

Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xian planned to help Zhang Mo set traps within Wuxiang Sect, so they naturally couldn’t blatantly pocket Wuxiang Sect’s foundation.

At most, they took the most valuable items from the treasury. As for the rest, to avoid suspicion, they left it untouched.

Jie Yan’s departure from Wuxiang Sect was out of helplessness, and he knew he couldn’t take Wuxiang Sect’s foundation without facing perpetual unrest.

As for Xuanqing Sect, it’s likely they don’t currently have the time to deal with Wuxiang Sect’s foundation. Although they took over Wuxiang Sect, it was only to uphold the face of the Three Sects of Lingxiu.

So indeed, more than half of Wuxiang Sect’s foundation remains.

If this is the case, then it would indeed be worth the Spirit Source Land to wage a war for it.

Yang Zhenshan was somewhat tempted!

He leaned back, resting against the chair, arms crossed, lost in thought.

The depth of Wuxiang Sect’s foundation can be imagined; even if Spirit Source Land could obtain just a small portion, it would benefit Spirit Source Land immensely.

For instance, spirit plants and spiritual medicine. Spirit Source Land currently has a very low yield of second-order and above spirit fruit and spiritual medicine, compared to the near-abundance of first-order ones.

But this is unavoidable; second-order spirit fruit and spiritual medicine require over a hundred years of growth, and naturally, Spirit Source Land cannot cultivate a large number within just a few decades.

However, Wuxiang Sect could fill this gap for Spirit Source Land.

Wuxiang Sect also has its Spirit Fruit Garden and Medicinal Garden. If they can transplant all of these into Spirit Source Land, then in twenty to thirty years, Spirit Source Land could produce many second-order spirit fruits and spiritual medicines.

In addition to these, there’s the legacy of cultivation techniques.

Spirit Source Land has obtained many cultivation technique legacies from the Ancient Relic Array, and Wuxiang Sect has acquired even more from it.

Yang Zhenshan had verified this during his time at Illusion Moon Sect.

Illusion Moon Sect may not have many immortal cultivators, but their legacy in immortal cultivation far surpasses that of Spirit Source Land.

These legacies include cultivation methods, pill and artifact, talisman array inheritances, among others.

Then there’s also the Wuxiang Sect’s sect premises, not only containing a second-order top-grade spiritual vein but also a second-order protective array.

Moreover, Wuxiang Sect has a vast territory and population.

If the Yang family can replace Wuxiang Sect, the benefits they would receive would certainly be beyond imagination.

However, the Yang family might also find itself in the spotlight because of it.

Wuxiang Sect is located in the eastern part of the Sea of Spirit. If war broke out between the Nether Prison Sect and the Sea of Spirit, Wuxiang Sect would bear the brunt.

Should the Yang family replace Wuxiang Sect, they would have to take Wuxiang Sect’s place at the forefront of the conflict.

Additionally, any power with designs on the Sea of Spirit wouldn’t overlook the Yang family’s presence and might even see them as an obstacle.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store has a broad network, ensuring nobody dares infringe upon the Yang family’s interests.

However, the Ten Thousand Treasures Store will not engage in power struggles; if the Yang family merely defends its interests, the store may help them.

But if the Yang family were to replace Wuxiang Sect, it would be an external expansion, and the store certainly wouldn’t assist them further.

The reason is simple: the Ten Thousand Treasures Store in White Cloud Immortal City has over thirty Guest Elders, each supported by their family forces. So, if some Guest Elders’ families wanted to enter the Sea of Spirit, who would the store support?

Yang Zhenshan doesn’t believe his position in the Ten Thousand Treasures Store can overrule all the Guest Elders.

Should conflict occur among the families behind the Guest Elders, at most, the Ten Thousand Treasures Store would set rules to prevent heavy blows against its Guest Elders. They wouldn’t care about the life or death of the families behind them.
