Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1395: Chapter 887: Preparing to Ambush Mo Xuanyu

Yang Zhenshan was also very happy. Yang Jizhen’s successful foundation establishment represented that the Yang family had successors, meaning the Yang family had gained a stronger force on the immortal path and had a more solid foundation.

At the same time, it also meant Yang Zhenshan had gained a helper.

Xuan Zhen was an outsider. Although Yang Zhenshan trusted him, he could not entrust the authority of the Spirit Source Land to him.

Everyone else was a martial artist, even Golden Body Realm martial artists would appear inferior in front of Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivators; they couldn’t stand straight before Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which prevented them from participating in many matters.

All along, it was Yang Zhenshan alone who supported the development of the Spirit Source Land in the immortal cultivation world.

Now with Yang Jizhen, Yang Zhenshan could relax a lot, and could entrust many matters to Yang Jizhen.

“First stabilize your cultivation; once your cultivation is stable, have Ziwei Tower organize a foundation establishment ceremony for you!” Yang Zhenshan said happily, patting Yang Jizhen’s shoulder.

The foundation establishment ceremony is a custom in the immortal cultivation world, where after a cultivator successfully establishes their foundation, they gather friends and family to celebrate, partly to share insights on foundation establishment, and partly to showcase their strength.

Therefore, holding a foundation establishment ceremony in the immortal cultivation world is very common.

However, it was the first time for the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhenshan was not one to care for mundane ceremonies, for things like accepting disciples, he just had his disciples offer a cup of tea.

As for foundation establishment ceremonies, he didn’t hold one when he established his own foundation, wanting to hold one for Yang Jizhen now was mainly because Yang Jizhen was about to formally enter the ranks.

Once the foundation establishment ceremony concluded, Yang Zhenshan planned to hand over the Immortal Hall of Taiwei Tower and the Jingxuan Hall of Ziwei Tower to him.

The Immortal Hall of Taiwei Tower was the Elder Hall of the Spirit Source Land, currently only having Yang Zhenshan and Xuan Zhen, more like a formality.

But Jingxuan Hall of Ziwei Tower was different; it governed all immortal cultivators of the Spirit Source Land and was responsible for all immortal cultivation industries of the Spirit Source Land.

Of course, the majority of the affairs of the immortal cultivation industries were managed by the Commerce Department of Tianquan Tower, with Jingxuan Hall only assisting and not leading.

The elixir shop and talisman shop in Qingli Immortal City, though managed by Zhang Hexuan and Cui Yang, had shopkeepers and clerks from the Commerce Department.

Jingxuan Hall was actually more inclined towards production, responsible for producing low-grade elixirs, talismans, and magic artifacts.

Their cultivation levels were relatively low; aside from Yang Zhenshan’s disciples and Xuan Zhen, the highest cultivation in Jingxuan Hall was only at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

…

Ten days later.

The usually quiet Taiwei Tower suddenly became lively.

Lanterns were hung between the pavilions and towers, flowers clustered, clouds misted—an immortal family scene.

A festive atmosphere enveloped the entire Taiwei Tower.

Today was Yang Jizhen’s foundation establishment ceremony, gathering all the high-level members of the Spirit Source Land to celebrate Yang Jizhen’s successful foundation establishment.

Inside and outside the tower were filled with delicacies, with everyone sitting together, clinking glasses in high spirits.

Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi also attended the ceremony, but they only showed their faces briefly before leaving, because today’s protagonist was Yang Jizhen, and Yang Zhenshan would overshadow the event by being there, making it difficult for the atmosphere to remain lively.

Now, Yang Zhenshan’s authority in the Spirit Source Land was quite significant; even others felt somewhat reserved in front of him, including Yang Mingcheng and Ding Qiu.

The essence of it was due to Yang Zhenshan’s century-long accumulated prestige and his reclusive nature in recent years, rarely showing himself in Jade City.

Although Yang Zhenshan had always been amiable in character, over time, everyone’s reverence for him grew daily.

Returning to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, Yang Zhenshan stood on the cliff, looking down at the bustling scene in Taiwei Tower, gently stroking his long beard.

“Idle clouds pool reflections as days pass, things change over the years.”

“Ah, in the blink of an eye, even your great-grandson has established his foundation!”

Xuan Zhen approached and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenshan chuckled, “When did you become so sentimental?”

“Returning once made me feel things changed while people did not!” Xuan Zhen was slightly desolate.

He had just returned from Da’an Dynasty not long ago, and it had been nearly fifty years since he left Da’an.

Fifty years was enough for things to change.

Yang Zhenshan felt the same. If he returned to Da’an now, he wouldn’t find that old familiarity.

Many of his old friends had passed away, like Ji Zhen, Lu Baishu, Zhang Luan, all long departed.

If he went back now and looked around, he probably wouldn’t find a familiar face.

Of course, this was also why he brought most familiar faces to the Spirit Source Land.

“Haha, our journey ahead is long; isn’t it too early to lament changes over time?” Yang Zhenshan wasn’t troubled by sorrows; instead, his heart still brimmed with passion.

“Path ahead? Golden Core?” Xuan Zhen was thoughtful.

“Indeed, the Golden Core path, I’ve been anticipating it for a long time!” Yang Zhenshan nodded.

Now he should start preparing for solidifying the pill.

With the Demon Essence Pill, improving his cultivation was no longer a problem; perhaps he wouldn’t take long to raise to late-stage Foundation Establishment, and then his focus and time should be spent on Core Formation.

Before achieving Core Formation, he had many things to do.

First, refine Lifebound Magical Treasures, the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, and the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron.

Yang Zhenshan wanted both Lifebound Magical Treasures, so he must prepare in advance for the refining.
