Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1673 - 1025: Chi Xia True Monarch

Ning Yun briefly described the situation of True Yang Immortal City, and Yang Zhenshan then let her leave.

Although True Yang Immortal City has seven directors, the ones who actually handle the city’s affairs are Foundation Establishment cultivators and Second-Order demon beasts. Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t waste their time on these mundane tasks.

As for the situation in True Yang Immortal City, Yang Zhenshan doesn’t really care, as long as no one touches his interests, he won’t bother with the changes in True Yang Immortal City.

Yang Zhenshan continued to wander aimlessly with Yu Qingyi in the Spirit Origin land, sometimes scattering seeds among the mountains, sometimes diving into the deep sea to observe the ocean floor’s ecosystem. The two of them did as they pleased, playing however they wanted.

Time quietly passed by again for two months, and Yang Zhenshan felt that he had played enough and it was time to return to Sky Cloud Sword Sect for a look.

After all, he is the Supreme Elder of Sky Cloud Sword Sect. Although he can be a carefree shopkeeper, he can’t stay absent forever.

White Cloud Immortal City was still the same, neither becoming more prosperous nor more desolate, almost no different from ten years ago.

However, Sky Cloud Sword Sect had changed significantly. Ten years ago, Sky Cloud Sword Sect seemed somewhat disorganized, but now it was orderly and structured.

Yang Zhenshan stepped out of his cave dwelling, and two disciples immediately came up to greet him.

"Welcome True Monarch out of seclusion!" the two disciples greeted respectfully.

Yang Zhenshan looked at them, "Who are you?"

"We are disciples of Chenji Hall, specifically responsible for guarding True Monarch’s cave dwelling!" one of the tall and thin disciples replied respectfully.

"If the True Monarch has any instructions, we can relay them on your behalf!"

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, these were the assigned attendant disciples for him.

"Have the other True Monarchs come out of seclusion?"

"White Cloud True Monarch has not gone into seclusion."

"Alright, you may carry on with your tasks, I’m going to see White Cloud True Monarch!"

With that, Yang Zhenshan flicked to Jade Sky Hall.

When he arrived at Jade Sky Hall, White Cloud True Monarch was talking with Yun Ge about something.

"Junior Brother Yang is out of seclusion, hehe, just in time, I was about to send you a message!" White Cloud True Monarch looked very delighted upon seeing Yang Zhenshan.

"Greetings to True Monarch!" Yun Ge bowed respectfully.

Yang Zhenshan nodded at Yun Ge, and then turned to White Cloud True Monarch, "Is there something you need, Senior Brother?"

"Yes, there is something, have a seat!" White Cloud True Monarch invited him to sit, and two young female disciples promptly came forward to serve tea.

Once Yang Zhenshan was seated, White Cloud True Monarch continued, "Junior Brother, do you know about the Immortal Fate Trading Conference?"

"What is that?" Yang Zhenshan asked in confusion.

"It’s a trade conference for Golden Core cultivators! Held once every hundred years, it takes place on Immortal Fate Mountain in the Wanhua Mountain Range," White Cloud True Monarch explained.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression shifted slightly, "Senior Brother, is the Immortal Fate Trading Conference being held soon?"

"That’s right, it’s in three months. I was just about to ask everyone if they wanted to participate, and here you are!" White Cloud True Monarch laughed.

Resources valued by Golden Core cultivators are basically Third-stage and Fourth-order Spiritual Objects.

Whether Third-stage or Fourth-order Spiritual Objects are exceedingly rare, it’s not an exaggeration to say they are treasures that can only be chanced upon rather than sought.

Some Golden Core cultivators might acquire some Third-stage or Fourth-order Spiritual Objects, but those objects aren’t always useful to them.

Therefore, Golden Core cultivators need a trading conference to exchange what they have. Many Golden Core cultivators come together to barter, trading their unusable resources for useful ones.

"I definitely have to go and see, don’t forget to take me with you, Senior Brother!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

White Cloud True Monarch laughed, "No problem, but let me tell you in advance, one needs to conceal their identity at the Immortal Fate Trading Conference. Do you have the means to conceal your identity? If not, I can lend you a Spiritual Artifact!"

Conceal identity?

Yang Zhenshan’s mind shifted, and he understood that this trading conference might not be safe.

"No need, I have a way!"

For Golden Core cultivators to conceal their identity, the first step is to change their appearance. This is simple, as Golden Core cultivators possess an extremely terrifying level of control over their bodies, allowing them to change their appearance effortlessly.

However, appearance is not the symbol of a Golden Core cultivator’s identity; their aura is. So, in order to conceal their identity, Golden Core cultivators must also hide their aura, including their mana and Divine Soul aura.

In the past, Yang Zhenshan didn’t have a way to conceal his aura, but now he has methods.

The Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower can restrain his Divine Soul aura. As long as he doesn’t actively use his Divine Soul power, others won’t easily lock onto his Divine Soul aura unnoticed.

As for mana aura, the Jade Gourd can mask his mana aura.

The main function of the Jade Gourd is to use Green Mist Hidden Dust to conceal the Qi Mechanism in the Void, but it also has several unremarkable minor functions.

For instance, storing liquids, as the inside of the gourd has a large space that can store a significant amount of liquid.

Additionally, it has an aura-masking function which, compared to masking Qi Mechanism, isn’t much.

Even without the Jade Gourd, Yang Zhenshan can hide his own aura.

Body Transformation allows him to even transform into a non-existent existence, let alone his aura.

"How many people are expected to attend this Immortal Fate Trading Conference?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"Many, possibly more than a hundred, or at least sixty to seventy participants. It’s not only Immortal cultivators, but Ghost Cultivators and Demon Cultivators will also attend."

"And it’s not just people from Wanhua Western Region and Wanhua Mountain Range who will attend, but many from other regions will travel great distances to participate."

"In any case, once there, proceed with caution, and remember not to actively cause trouble!"
