Yang Zhenshan explores the potential of his Thunder Fire Spear, integrating Wood Divine Thunder and True Sun Fire with his unique Spear Intent. He reflects on the neglected Spear Dao and its potential compared to the Sword Dao, detailing why it's less prominent in Immortal Cultivation. He then uses a Nine-striped Bodhi Seed to further comprehend Spear Intent, aiming to master a third Divine Dao Intent.

Sensing the surging Void aura, Yang Zhenshan could no longer suppress the excitement within his heart and a brilliant smile bloomed on his face.

"This spear can break through the realm barriers, let’s call it the ’Void Breach Spear’!"

Excited, he hurriedly extended his hand to block the deep hole.

This was a Void Rift, without the obstruction of space barriers, the spiritual energy of Spirit Source Land would continuously be swallowed by the Void. You must know that the spiritual energy of Spirit Source Land is limited, losing even a part is equivalent to losing a large number of Spirit Stones. If too much is lost, the concentration of spiritual energy in Spirit Source Land will decrease.

As the master of the Life Realm Immortal Palace, Yang Zhenshan naturally didn’t want the spiritual energy concentration of Spirit Source Land to decrease.

He reached out to block the hole and then connected his Heart Spirit to the Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus, urging the Void power contained within the Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus to repair the hole.

"Void Breach, Void Breach, if this spear were to strike an enemy, it would definitely pierce a large hole in them at the very least!"

"But in the future, I must not use this move in Spirit Source Land, for in just this little moment, the loss is equivalent to that of hundreds of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Hundreds of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones may not matter much to Yang Zhenshan now, nor is it significant to the vast Spirit Source Land, yet casually losing them still makes Yang Zhenshan feel distressed.

While Yang Zhenshan was still practicing spear techniques, the skies above the Longevity Hall were suddenly filled with a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex.

Rich spiritual energy surged from all directions, converging above the Longevity Hall, forming a vast array of seven-colored splendor.

The sudden change alarmed many cultivators within the Immortal Palace, starting with Hongyun, Qingxia, and others in the Longevity Hall. They quickly exited the Longevity Hall and took up vigilant positions around it.

Of course, they were not guarding against enemies, but simply preventing anyone from recklessly entering the Longevity Hall to disturb Yu Qingyi’s breakthrough.

Subsequently, Xia Yunshu, Yang Qingyu, Yang Qinghua, and Lin Pingyang, all recently advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators, flew out from their respective mansions and approached the vicinity of the Longevity Hall.

"Aunt Hongyun, has Qingyi Ancestor had a breakthrough?" Yang Qingyu stepped forward and inquired.

Hongyun replied with a joyful smile, "That’s right!"

Yang Qingyu nodded happily and then stood together with the others awaiting.

Xia Yunshu appeared to be in her thirties; her looks weren’t extraordinarily beautiful, but she carried a certain heroic aura. Perhaps due to years spent among the lower levels of Lotus Heart Valley, her entire being exuded a tenacious quality from inside out.

Years ago, when Yang Zhenshan had brought her back from Lotus Heart Valley, she was merely at Qi Refining Second Level, but now she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, marking such an encounter as deeply blessed.

Her fortune was none other than Yang Zhenshan, or perhaps the Yang family.

Yang Qinghua was Yang Chengze’s fifth-generation descendant. He was part of the continuation of a plan originally laid out by Yang Zhenshan called the Spiritual Acupoint Plan.

The Spiritual Acupoint Plan involved absorbing individuals with spiritual apertures from the Da’an Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Domain, allowing them to live, cultivate, and marry in Spirit Source Land.

Those with good qualifications were taken as disciples by Yang Zhenshan and Xuanzhen, whereas those with lesser aptitude remained in Jingxuan Hall for cultivation.

Over seventy to eighty years, Spirit Source Land had absorbed several hundred Spiritual Acupoint individuals from the outside world, with many getting married and having children within Spirit Source Land.

Yang Qinghua’s mother was one such Spiritual Acupoint individual from the Da’an Dynasty; though her mother’s aptitude wasn’t very high, Yang Qinghua possessed a spiritual aperture and his aptitude was truly remarkable.

Another, Lin Pingyang, was Lin Zhan’s fourth-generation descendant, but Lin Pingyang had no connection to the Spiritual Acupoint Plan, being a spiritual aperture holder appearing naturally.

The Spiritual Acupoint Plan led to the absorption of hundreds of Spiritual Acupoint individuals, who lived in Spirit Source Land, married, had children, and nurtured offspring, thereby increasing the number of newborn Spiritual Acupoint individuals in recent years compared to before.

Thus, the Spiritual Acupoint Plan that Yang Zhenshan devised years ago can be considered a success.

Everyone remained silent, merely hovering quietly in mid-air, awaiting Yu Qingyi’s breakthrough.

At that moment, Yang Zhenshan sensed the return of spiritual energy fluctuations within the Immortal Palace.

"Greetings, True Monarch!" everyone saluted.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, without speaking, but shifted his gaze towards the Quiet Chamber inside the Longevity Hall.

His Spiritual Sense pierced through layers of walls and arrays, enveloping the Quiet Chamber.

Seeing Yu Qingyi in the Quiet Chamber with a serene expression and orderly aura, only then did he feel relieved.

"It’s fine with me watching here. You all can go back to your tasks!"

Yang Zhenshan then spoke.

"Yes!"

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Hongyun and Qingxia also withdrew.

In truth, they didn’t have much else to occupy them, but all remaining there served no substantial purpose.

Roughly two hours later, the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky gradually dissipated, and Yang Zhenshan directly arrived in the Quiet Chamber.

Yu Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, looking at Yang Zhenshan in front of her with a serene gaze, "Husband!"

"Hmm, how do you feel?"

"Great! It couldn’t be better!" Yu Qingyi beamed with a radiant smile.

Yang Zhenshan used his Spiritual Sense to check Yu Qingyi’s body; finding no abnormalities, he could finally relax.

"You should first stabilize your cultivation, and after a couple of days, let’s have everyone host a banquet to truly celebrate."

"Alright!"

Yu Qingyi was different from Ding Qiu; though Ding Qiu also had a breakthrough worthy of celebration, his status could never compare to Yu Qingyi’s.

Yu Qingyi was indeed the matron of the Yang family, reigning as the mistress within the Life Realm Immortal Palace.

Were this in a mundane Dynasty, she would be akin to the mother of the nation, the esteemed Empress.

Normally, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t fond of hosting banquets, nor would he typically attend those held by others under him, but this time he absolutely had to host a banquet.
