Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1864: Chapter 1121: Life and Death Dao, Half-step Enlightenment

Chang Buzai’s eyes were like the Netherworld, dark and unfathomable.

He looked at Zhong Mingshou, his voice distant as he asked, ”Is there any conclusion on the death of Xiang Yuan?”

Zhong Mingshou’s voice was somewhat hoarse, ”Replying to the Island Master, we have confirmed that the force attacking Yellow Springs Hall is indeed the Yun Xiao Yang Family.”

He knew that Chang Buzai was surely unaware of what kind of force the Yun Xiao Yang Family was, so he continued to explain, ”The leader of the Yun Xiao Yang Family, Yang Zhenshan, gained fortune a hundred years ago in the Sun Cave Heaven, successfully forming his core and stepping onto the Golden Core Path. Later, Yang Zhenshan, along with White Cloud True Monarch, Jian Changhe - the master of Hidden Sword Mountain, and Que Lingyu - the Demon King of Cangyu Mountain, founded the Sky Cloud Sword Sect!”

”In the battle of True Yang Immortal City, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect suffered a tragic defeat. White Cloud True Monarch was killed by An Wusheng, and thus, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect disbanded.”

”However, during the attack on the Yunxiao Mountain Range by the Soul Control Hall, Yellow Springs led an army to attack the Yang Family Blessed Land and was repelled by the Yang Family. Yellow Springs disappeared, and the Ghost Army of Yellow Springs Hall scattered!”

”It seems that this attack on Yellow Springs Hall by the Yang Family is their retaliation!”

Zhong Mingshou briefly recounted the rise of the Yang Family and the entanglements between the Yang Family and the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

After listening, Chang Buzai’s expression was very calm, and he asked casually, ”So how strong is this Yun Xiao Yang Family now?”

Zhong Mingshou glanced at the Soul Concubine beside him and said solemnly, ”According to investigations, there were a total of three Golden Core cultivators who attacked Yellow Springs Hall this time. Among them, one was a former member of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, a sword cultivator named Yun Xiao.”

”The other two are relatively unfamiliar. One once defeated the Ghost Army of Yellow Springs Hall outside the Yang Family Blessed Land, but we haven’t found much information on him.”

”As for the last one, they should have just formed their core recently, and their exact identity still needs to be thoroughly investigated.”

”Additionally, the Yang Family deployed over a thousand Divine Generals this time. These Divine Generals are all Yin Souls, possessing strength comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators and Ghost Generals, but unlike ghost cultivators, their aura is very peaceful!”

Chang Buzai’s expression shifted, ”Divine General, Golden Armor Divine General?”

”Yes!”

”That’s the Yang God Technique! I didn’t expect such a technique would still exist in the world!” Chang Buzai said.

”Yang God Technique, what is that?” Zhong Mingshou asked in confusion.

Chang Buzai explained, ”What you cultivate is the Yin God Technique, which leans towards the Yin attribute, whereas the corresponding one is the Yang God Technique.”

”These two Divine Soul cultivation methods originated from the Ancient Times, created by the Divine Soul Daoist.”

”The only difference between them is the attribute; their essence is not greatly different.”

Both the Eight Divine Spells and the Divine General Chessboard actually came from the Divine Soul Daoist of ten thousand years ago; it could even be said that the path of ghost cultivation was created by the Divine Soul Daoist.

Of course, today’s Eight Divine Spells and Divine General Chessboard have vast differences compared to the Yang God Technique originally created by the Divine Soul Daoist due to the improvements made by countless predecessors over ten thousand years.

The Wanhua Domain is a realm with a long history, thus many mystical cultivation techniques exist in this world. Although these techniques might not be well-known, they possess deep foundations.

Once someone can cultivate these techniques to the Golden Core Realm, they will shine brilliantly.

The lineage of the Eight Divine Spells is very ancient and was not initially created by the Divine Soul Daoist; the Divine Soul Daoist merely established his own path based on his predecessors’ work.

Chang Buzai didn’t elaborate on these matters, as they weren’t important.

What limits the development of a force is never the cultivation technique, but resources.

In this world, there is no single divine skill or secret technique that can suppress everything; only strong individuals and forces built from countless resources.

”Since this Yang Family likes to create disturbances so much, find them and eradicate them!” Chang Buzai ordered calmly.

Just a small Yang Family wasn’t worth his attention.

Though the Unpredictable Ghost Sect had lost many troops over the years in the Wanhua Mountain Range and Yunxiao Mountain Range, these losses hadn’t reached the point where they were debilitating the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

The foundation of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is not just a few Golden Core cultivators, but the endless Corpse Sea and the mysterious Ghost Island.

No one, including Chang Buzai, is very clear on exactly how many ghost soldiers reside in the Corpse Sea, or how many unknown ancient ghosts exist in Ghost Island.

It’s not that Chang Buzai doesn’t care about these things, but some entities existed long before him, having not showed themselves for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

”Understood!” replied the Soul Concubine.

Ghost Island has few channels to the outside world, and the Soul Hooking Hall serves as the intelligence agency for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, responsible for collecting much intelligence information.

This time, the task of finding the Yang Family’s base fell to the Soul Hooking Hall.

...

At this moment, Yang Zhenshan was unaware that the Yang Family had drawn attention from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. Previously, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect had not really cared about the Yang Family, neither when Yang Zhenshan was in the Sky Cloud Sword Sect nor when Yang Zhenshan killed the Yellow Springs Ancestor, did the higher-ups of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect concern themselves with the Yang Family.

But it’s different now; Chang Buzai had already taken notice of the Yang Family and had even ordered its extermination.

Finding the Yang Family was not difficult for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. Although Yang Zhenshan had placed the Pocket World Gate in Spring Valley, the Spirit Source Land still left many traces outside.

For example, the trade interactions with the Hengshan Sect; as long as someone keenly notices this aspect, they can easily follow the trade ships and find Spring Valley.

At this time, those in White Jade City were not aware of these elements, hence they hadn’t made any defensive preparations.

Meanwhile, Yang Zhenshan remained in seclusion, having been in retreat for ten years, showing no signs of awakening from his enlightenment.
