Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1632 - 1003: Flame Sun Flying Boat, Mystic Iron Stele of Passing on Arts
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
"I choose this one!" Yun Xiao pointed at a palace not far away.
This palace was built with mystical jade, with jade bricks engraved with runes that breathed spiritual energy mist. The entire palace was enshrouded in flowing purple mist, looking like a glazed illusion from afar.
Thirty-six red gold dragon columns entwined with vermilion supported the flying eaves, the scales on the dragon bodies were clearly defined, dragon whiskers hung with luminous pearls, and hollow star-patterned copper ornaments dangled from the eaves, giving off a sound like a gentle star chime as the wind blew through.
The palace roof was covered with seven-colored glazed tiles mixed with phoenix feather marrow, reflecting halos that brightened the clouds and mist under the sunlight. The white jade plaza in front of the hall was warm and smooth, with a semi-transparent water curtain around the edge, within which star trails moved, and occasionally, a shooting star would fall, turning into light smoke, spreading a refreshing fragrance throughout the hall.
"Give it a name!" Yang Zhenshan said.
"Let’s call it Yunxiao Palace!" Yun Xiao said with a smile.
Yang Zhenshan nodded, waved his sleeve, and wrote the three characters ’Yunxiao Palace’ on the archway in front of the hall. The strokes intertwined with flowing light, resembling a swimming dragon from a distance, and concealing the starry sky upon close examination, capturing the hearts and spirits of those who beheld it.
"Red Cloud, Qingxia, from now on, you will serve as the Director and Vice Director of the Immortal Government, as per the regulations of the Immortal Palace!"
Yang Zhenshan handed a jade scroll to them.
The specific regulations were just as he had imagined before: Immortal Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage and Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists could reside in the Immortal Palace, in addition to the establishment of the Immortal Government and Heavenly Guards.
Everyone could also bring a few family members, with several attendants around them, etc.
Yang Zhenshan had set all the rules one by one.
Such policies were necessary, for without them, if everyone could bring family members freely, the Immortal Palace would soon become overcrowded.
After entrusting matters to Qingxia and Red Cloud, Yang Zhenshan casually refined some tokens for entering and exiting the Immortal Palace, and then he and Yu Qingyi returned to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.
These tokens for entering and exiting the Immortal Palace were not merely restriction tokens; they contained his aura.
Without a token, one could not pass through the Nine Heavens Gate to enter the Immortal Palace.
Currently, the Immortal Palace was still empty. Next, they would have to prepare some necessary living supplies and plant some flowers and plants, which would take some time, so Yang Zhenshan still needed to reside at the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.
Additionally, some Foundation Establishment Cultivators moved to the Immortal Palace, and the Twelve Floors also had to undergo some changes, mainly the Taiwei Tower.
In the future, Taiwei Tower would cancel the settings of the Immortal Hall, Demon Hall, and Martial Hall. The entire Taiwei Tower would solely serve as an office and meeting place for the Martial Arts elders, with the original meeting hall of Ziwei Tower directly moved to Ziwei Tower.
The Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators and unevolved demon beasts would all be under the jurisdiction of Jingxuan Hall, which was directly subordinate to Ziwei Tower.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Second-Order demon beasts would still serve in positions within the Twelve Floors, focusing mainly on supervision, not on specific tasks, preferably dedicating their time and energy to cultivation.
In simple terms, the operation and development of the Spirit Source Land were all delegated to the Golden Body Realm Martial Artists.
However, some matters required Foundation Establishment Cultivators to handle, especially external affairs concerning Immortal Cultivation Forces; Golden Body Realm Martial Artists were not qualified for these.
With responsibilities clearly divided, numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators moved into the Immortal Palace one after another.
Daoxuan, Kou Ta, Hong Fuxiu, Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, and others, including Green Wolf King, Daqing, and Jin Yun, three Second-Order demon cultivators, could all choose a pavilion within the Immortal Palace as their cultivation place.
Their residences in the Spirit Source Land would also be retained because the pavilion’s area was relatively small, suitable for secluded cultivation, but not for alchemy or artifact refining.
Besides, Daoxuan still had to manage the Wuzhen Taoist Palace, the Green Wolf King and Daqing had to instruct the wolves, and Jin Yun had to take care of the Golden Feathered Fire Crows; they couldn’t stay in the Immortal Palace indefinitely.
Within a month’s time, everyone moved happily into the Immortal Palace.
The Immortal Palace not only had abundant spiritual energy but also contained an elusive Dao Rhyme.
What is known as Dao Rhyme is essentially an expression of Dao Intent, emanating from the accumulated Dao Intent that cultivators manifest through long-term cultivation.
If a place hosts numerous powerful cultivators and they cultivate there over hundreds or thousands of years, that place would be filled with Dao Rhyme.
Moreover, some high-grade spiritual objects also contain Dao Rhyme.
Dao Rhyme cannot be directly absorbed, but it can greatly aid in meditation and immersion in cultivation, offering twice the results with half the effort.
As everyone moved into the Immortal Palace, they began to transform it.
They transplanted some rare flowers and exotic grasses into the Immortal Palace’s garden, kept some spirit beasts within the palace, and chose some gentle water beasts to inhabit the lake.
Yang Zhenshan also named the lake Longevity Lake.
What he sought was the essence of longevity, so he intended to reside in the Longevity Hall by the Longevity Lake.
Soon, the previously empty Immortal Palace was brimming with vitality, full of life, thriving and prosperous.
Inside the palace pavilions, various essential living supplies were also fully prepared.
Simultaneously, the Immortal Government and Heavenly Guards were established.
The Immortal Government consisted of more than ten Immortal Officials, each responsible for a specific duty, over forty Immortal Clerks served as assistants to the Immortal Officials, and more than two hundred Immortal Servants took charge of cleaning and tending to the plants and trees.
These were the main personnel of the Immortal Government, and apart from these, the Immortal Government was also responsible for managing everyone’s attendants.
The Heavenly Guards consisted of forty-eight people who alternately guarded the Nine Heavens Gate, predominantly made up of Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists at present; once the number of Golden Body Realm Martial Artists in the Spirit Source Land increased, they would be replaced by Golden Body Realm Martial Artists.
After everything was arranged, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi also moved into the Longevity Hall.
The Longevity Hall was vast, featuring a front hall, rear hall, and side halls, with outer courtyards and rear gardens, as well as twelve pavilions and side rooms in the left and right corridors.
