Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1646 - 1011: Sky Cloud Yang Family (Part 2)

Yang Zhenshan paid no attention to his apprentice trying to act innocent, one who’s already over sixty years old, yet still startled like a child.

"How are things going with the Ancient Relic Array?" he asked Ning Yun.

Ning Yun replied, "Everything’s settled. We can now control that Great Array. Ziwei Tower has also arranged a large workforce inside the array, preparing to construct some buildings!"

Since the Spirit Origin has control of the Ancient Relic Array, naturally, we can’t waste this Relic Array.

That Ancient Relic Array is a Third-tier Great Array. Although time has caused many vulnerabilities to appear in the array, it can still exert great power after a bit of repair.

Moreover, within the relic array, there’s a Third-stage Spiritual Vein and a lot of spirit fields.

With just a bit of development, the relic array could become the headquarters of a sect.

"What’s Ziwei Tower’s plan?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"They plan to have Lingxi Yang Family manage the interior of the relic array, and it will be Lingxi Yang Family’s headquarters!"

"Lingxi Yang Family?" Yang Zhenshan nodded, "Letting them manage it is fine."

Today’s Lingxi Yang Family isn’t the small family it used to be. Eighty years have passed since Yang Zhenshan came to the Sea of Spirit, during which the Lingxi Yang Family has rapidly developed under his guidance.

Initially, there were only a bit over one hundred members, but now there are over four hundred. Secondly, in terms of strength, Yang Xiangheng’s cultivation has reached the Golden Body Realm.

Though the numbers and strength of Lingxi Yang Family are insignificant compared to the Spirit Origin, within the Sea of Spirit, Lingxi Yang Family is now considered a major family.

"Why not move Wuzhen Taoist Palace over there?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

The cultivation environment of the Ancient Relic Array is even better than the Sea of Spirit, making it entirely suitable for Wuzhen Taoist Palace’s future headquarters.

Ning Yun thought for a moment, then said, "Ziwei Tower is likely planning to use the Ancient Relic Array as their external headquarters!"

Yang Zhenshan immediately understood her point.

Ever since Wuzhen Taoist Palace was established in the Sea of Spirit, its reputation slowly overshadowed the Yang Family’s.

Though Wuzhen Taoist Palace is a subsidiary sect of the Yang Family, both externally and internally, the Yang Family should take precedence over Wuzhen Taoist Palace.

Yang Chengmao probably didn’t want all the recognition to rest solely on Wuzhen Taoist Palace, hence the idea to establish a new Yang Family within the Ancient Relic Array.

Lingxi Yang Family is also part of the Yang Family. Lingxi Yang Family is merely managing the relic array, while true control still lies with the Twelve Floors.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t mind this much. Since Yang Chengmao desired this, he let him proceed.

"Since matters with the relic array have been settled, you all should go to True Yang Immortal City in a few days."

"Purchase some shops in True Yang Immortal City and start up our business there!"

Yang Zhenshan said.

Ning Yun and the others heard this and all seemed invigorated.

"Master, what sort of business are we doing?" Ning Yun asked.

"Whatever you wish to do, whatever you can do."

"And what name should we use?"

"Sky Cloud Yang Clan!" Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and smiled.

From now on, the Yang Family was an Immortal Clan. Having established Sky Cloud Sword Sect, the Yang Family was certainly a sect’s Immortal Clan, so calling themselves Sky Cloud Yang Clan was completely appropriate.

"Sky Cloud Yang Clan! Haha, sounds quite imposing!" Li Janning said with a smile.

"It must not only sound imposing but truly showcase the might of our Sky Cloud Yang Clan!" Yang Zhenshan stated.

A good horse is ridden by others, a good man is bullied by others.

True Yang Immortal City is not a rural area; it has many powerful forces active within.

If the Yang Family wants to gain a foothold in True Yang Immortal City, they must showcase some strength.

"How does Master plan to showcase this?" Li Janning asked, excitedly.

"Don’t we have a large flying boat? Just take that and fly over, bring more manpower, and make a big show of it!"

"Also, do not establish a teleportation array in True Yang Immortal City in the future, dismantle the Wuzhen Taoist Palace’s teleportation array, and only set one up in the Ancient Relic Array!"

Yang Zhenshan remembered the issue regarding the teleportation array and said.

The teleportation array is linked to the secrets of the Spirit Origin. Although the Spirit Origin’s existence doesn’t need to be concealed, it shouldn’t be casually exposed to outsiders, especially Golden Core cultivators.

True Yang Immortal City harbors Golden Core cultivators and Third-level Demon Kings. If a teleportation array is set up within the city, it could easily be discovered by them.

Therefore, it’s better not to freely arrange teleportation arrays outside.

Most Third-tier Arrays have the function of isolating the Void and blocking spiritual sense investigation. Placing the teleportation array within the Ancient Relic Array can reduce exposure risks.

"Alright, I’ll arrange this matter!" Ning Yun said.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, saying, "Handle this as you see fit. I won’t be involved; you must rely on yourselves!"

Sky Cloud Sword Sect intends to compete for the council seat in True Yang Immortal City, so he must first consider the Sky Cloud Sword Sect’s affairs.

As for entering True Yang Immortal City for business, the Wanhua Demon Court hasn’t restricted various forces from entering it, as long as they don’t violate the city’s rules, no one will be expelled.

Simply put, matters between Golden Core cultivators should be settled by them, and others by the respective level.

Golden Core cultivators may target Foundation Establishment cultivators, although generally speaking, Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t stoop to bully the weaker.

"Master, rest assured, anyone daring to provoke us will surely meet their end!" Li Janning said confidently.

"Haha, you better not be too reckless; with your limited power, be careful not to end up victimized yourself!" Yang Zhenshan rebuked without mercy.

The current circumstances differ from the past. Previously, when the Yang Family in the Sea of Spirit ventured out, they’d at most visit White Cloud Immortal City, and having Foundation Establishment cultivation was considered formidable. Yet now, heading to True Yang Immortal City, Foundation Establishment isn’t enough.

True Yang Immortal City boasts a Demon King, mixed with many expert forces.

Late-stage Foundation Establishment and Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators are abundant. Li Janning, with her initial Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, isn’t really notable in True Yang Immortal City.

After being chastised by Yang Zhenshan, Li Janning deflated like a punctured balloon, looking resentfully at Yang Zhenshan.

Meanwhile, Li Jian’an was secretly chuckling, with no intention of helping her sister.

Yang Zhenshan turned to Hong Fuxiu and said, "Daoist Hong, please pay more attention to this matter."

"True Monarch, rest assured!" Hong Fuxiu smiled warmly.

At this time, Hong Fuxiu was less glamorous than before and had gained a certain maternal glow.

Just a year ago, Hong Fuxiu had given birth to a son, and Ma Qiuyan’s method was effective, allowing Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu to have their own child.

Upon learning of this, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but consider having one more with Yu Qingyi.

The grand achievement of Yang Mingzhao was deemed wasted, mainly because without a spiritual aperture, it’s challenging to keep pace. If Yu Qingyi could bear another one, it would surely have a spiritual aperture.

However, Yang Zhenshan was only thinking; he was now a Golden Core cultivator, and having a child wasn’t something a few Yin Yang-regulating elixirs could resolve.

"Alright, go attend to your tasks. I need to check on things in White Cloud Immortal City!"

Yang Zhenshan waved his hands to dismiss the four, then returned to the courtyard in White Cloud Immortal City, or rather accurately, the courtyard of Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

White Cloud Immortal City remained as such, and Sky Cloud Sword Sect remained its own.

Sky Cloud Sword Sect occupied the central region within the immortal city, incorporating the original White Cloud Dao Field, Thousand Array Alliance, Cloud Wild Alliance territories into its sect domain, creating an inner sect outer city structure.

...

The following morning.

White Cloud True Monarch, Que Lingyu, Jian Changhe, Yang Zhenshan, and Yun Xiao gathered once more in Jade Sky Hall to discuss the council seat competition in True Yang Immortal City.

However, upon arriving at Jade Sky Hall, Yang Zhenshan sensed something amiss in the atmosphere.

"Why are you all staring at me like that?"

White Cloud True Monarch, Que Lingyu, and Jian Changhe were all fixated on him, yet Yun Xiao seemed rather cheerful.

"The Divine Skill you’ve comprehended, is it really the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power?" White Cloud True Monarch asked with complex emotions.

Previously, he wasn’t aware of what Yang Zhenshan had comprehended and hadn’t paid much attention, as he assumed it wouldn’t be stronger than his.

He never expected Yang Zhenshan’s comprehension to be the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power, hence his past sense of crisis upon meeting him.
