Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1713 - 1046: The Army Sets Out
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
The Life Realm Immortal Palace consists of thirty-six palaces, divided into twelve palaces and twenty-four halls. Each palace has a front and rear hall, along with accompanying courtyards, side rooms, rear rooms, and so on, enough to accommodate hundreds of people living and cultivating.
The twenty-four halls are much smaller, having only one main hall, with accompanying courtyards and side rooms, but they are much smaller than the twelve palaces.
Currently, only three palaces in the Immortal Palace are in use: Yang Zhenshan’s Longevity Hall, Yun Xiao’s Yunxiao Palace, and Ding Qiu’s Saber Hall; the rest are all sealed.
Old Niu is a Demon King, so naturally, he must choose one from the twelve palaces.
Looking at the luxurious palaces, the Green Bull Demon King couldn’t help but feel a bit apologetic and said, "Mr. Yang, just arrange a guest room for me, no need for such a grand palace!"
His previous residence was just a mountain, using it as a bed and the sky as a blanket. He didn’t have a palace, not even a straw hut.
Yang Zhenshan smiled and said, "It’s customary; the twelve palaces are the residences for Golden Core Cultivators, the twenty-four halls are for Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists, and the one hundred and eight buildings are for Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"
"Brother Niu, honored as a Demon King, naturally needs to reside in one of the twelve palaces!"
"If Brother Niu feels uneasy, when you have time, you can go to the Spirit Source Land below to guide my descendants and juniors!"
"The Spirit Source Land is an expansive Grotto Heaven; I have transplanted many Spirit Plants there, among them are Second and Third-Order Spirit Plants!"
Upon hearing this, the Green Bull Demon King’s round eyes lit up and he confidently patted his chest, saying, "Mr. Yang, I may not be much help with other matters, but when it comes to cultivating Spirit Plants, in the entire Wanhua Mountain Range, if I say I’m second, no one would dare claim to be first!"
"Mr. Yang, rest assured, in the future, I will assist you in cultivating more Spirit Plants, haha~~"
Yang Zhenshan also laughed and said, "That’s perfect; my Alchemy skills are pretty good too. If Brother Niu needs any Elixirs in the future, feel free to come to me, and I’ll help with Alchemy!"
The Green Bull Demon King’s eyes revealed a sudden realization, now understanding why Yang Zhenshan invited him here.
"So that’s the reason, haha, Mr. Yang, you should have said so earlier, haha~~"
Yang Zhenshan wants him to cultivate Spirit Plants, which is not only not a bad thing for him but a good thing. It indicates that Yang Zhenshan needs him, making his stay here comforting, eliminating any sense of unease.
"Brother Niu, don’t blame me; I didn’t mean to deceive you, but if you hadn’t agreed, it would be difficult for me to speak more!" Yang Zhenshan didn’t hide his thoughts.
Old Niu is already here, and from now on, he should be treated as family, allowing him to feel the warmth of home so deception and concealment are inadvisable, treating Old Niu sincerely is essential.
Only this way can emotions be cultivated, allowing Old Niu to truly integrate into the Life Realm Immortal Palace.
"Haha, such an Immortal Realm is just what Old Niu seeks; how could I blame Mr. Yang? I must instead thank Mr. Yang for taking me in!" said the Green Bull Demon King.
While talking, the relationship between the two became closer, and the previous barriers disappeared.
Yang Zhenshan then helped Old Niu choose a palace, located behind Yunxiao Palace, which Old Niu named Qingniu Palace; henceforth, the Green Bull Demon King had established himself in the Immortal Palace.
Afterward, Yang Zhenshan called Yun Xiao out, letting him familiarize himself with Old Niu and substitute himself in welcoming Old Niu.
As he still needed to oversee Cloud Peak, he couldn’t accompany Old Niu consistently, so he entrusted Yun Xiao to show Old Niu around the Life Realm Immortal Palace and get familiar with its situation.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhenshan also planned a welcome ceremony for Old Niu in the Immortal Palace, so everyone could meet Old Niu.
After handling these tasks, Yang Zhenshan finally returned to Cloud Peak.
Just as Yang Zhenshan was returning to Cloud Peak, his soul crow also arrived at Cangyu Mountain.
Beneath the sprawling treetops that pierce the clouds and the canopy formed by thousands of dry branches.
The cawing of crows echoed among the branches and leaves; the charming Que Lingfei stood respectfully before the soul crow and said, "Little Demon Que Lingfei respectfully welcomes True Monarch!"
Cangyu Mountain naturally holds Que Lingyu in esteem, and beneath Que Lingyu are the two top Second-Order demon beasts, Que Lingfei and Que Lingyun, who are truly the rulers of Cangyu Mountain.
Que Lingfei was not unfamiliar with Yang Zhenshan’s soul crow; since the founding of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, Yang Zhenshan had expressed that the soul crow was his means of communication.
Of course, not just any soul crow can represent Yang Zhenshan, as the Soul Crow Divination Skill is also not uniquely owned by Yang Zhenshan.
Within the sect, from the Sect Master and Hall Master to the many Elder Peaks, all can recognize the aura of the soul crow.
"The northern Wanhua Mountain Range is in turmoil, causing the Ten Thousand Demons to flee west. Both White Cloud Immortal City and the eastern Yunxiao Mountain Range have suffered continuous demon beast disturbances. Hence, this True Monarch’s decree commands Cangyu Mountain, Hidden Sword Mountain, and the illustrious Yang family to dispatch elite cultivators to support the eastern Yunxiao Mountain Range and repel the demon beast invasion!"
The soul crow opened its beak, emitting a voice identical to Yang Zhenshan’s.
The soul crow is Yang Zhenshan’s Divine Soul clone; however, Yang Zhenshan’s primary consciousness isn’t in the soul crow, making it more akin to mimicking Yang Zhenshan’s words to transmit them to Que Lingyu.
Que Lingfei was initially startled upon hearing this, then bowed and said, "I respectfully comply with True Monarch’s decree!"
"I wonder how many troops our Cangyu Mountain should dispatch?" she further inquired.
The soul crow said, "The more, the better. The turmoil in the Wanhua Mountain Range may persist for a long time, so you must prepare for a prolonged stay in the eastern Yunxiao Mountain Range!"
