Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1758: Chapter 1069: White Jade City in the Heavens, Five Cities and Twelve Towers

Inside the Life Realm Immortal Palace.

Yang Zhenshan led Lin Qihe first on a tour around the Spirit Source Land, then arrived at the Immortal Palace.

Gazing at the magnificent immortal palace shrouded in auspicious mist and dazzling with brilliant light, Lin Qihe was still unable to recover from the shock.

The Yang family having a Grotto Heaven is nothing extraordinary; he was merely surprised, not overly impressed. However, the vastness of the Spirit Source Land truly amazed him.

He had been to the Sun Cave Heaven, but it spanned only a thousand miles, whereas the Spirit Source Land stretched over ten thousand miles.

Thus, while he followed Yang Zhenshan through the Spirit Source Land earlier, he was overwhelmed with amazement.

Yet the impact of the Spirit Source Land was far less compared to the exquisite and translucent Immortal Palace before him.

Golden rays poured out like a rolling red rainbow, auspicious mist gushed as purple fog. The Golden Palaces and Silver Carriages alongside the Purple Mansions, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and gem-like blooms.

Such a breathtaking sight might only exist in the legendary Taoist Palace.

"Within the Immortal Palace, there are twelve palaces, twenty-four halls, and one hundred and eight pavilions. If Lin wishes to join, you may choose a palace as your cultivation abode!"

"Lin has also seen it, the dense spiritual energy forming mist, the Dao Rhyme pervasive like a rosy glow. Cultivating within the Immortal Palace achieves twice the result with half the effort."

"Moreover, the Immortal Palace directly connects to the Spirit Source Land. If Lin wishes to rebuild the Lin family, you could also place it in the Spirit Source Land!"

"Although the primary force here is my Yang family, we do not exclude others, as long as you are loyal to the Immortal Palace, we are the same sect, same lineage, same family!"

"Even the Demon Clan and ghostly beings, our Yang family can accommodate. Lin shouldn’t doubt my sincerity!"

Yang Zhenshan sincerely persuaded.

The greatest leverage for recruiting others is twofold, one is benefit, and the other is sincerity.

Benefits are self-explanatory; an alliance without benefits is just a mirage.

And sincerity is the foundation for gaining trust. Yang Zhenshan may bluff, may deceive, but after bluffing and deceiving, he must offer genuine sincerity.

What is the greatest advantage of the Life Realm Immortal Palace?

Apart from a good cultivation environment and abundant resources, it is its broad embrace of all things.

The reason Yang Zhenshan has developed the Spirit Source Land to its current state and allowed millions to genuinely integrate into it is not because of his powerful means, nor because he can offer everyone vast resources, but because he is willing to accept everyone’s inclusion and uphold principles of fairness and equality.

In the Spirit Source Land, disciples of the Yang family and those from other families receive the same treatment and bear the same responsibilities. Although the Yang family holds an absolute leadership role in administration, in terms of resource distribution, everyone must adhere to the same rules.

From the initial recruitment of those families in the Da’an Dynasty, to later enlisting the Green Wolf Clan, fostering the Golden Feathered Fire Crow Clan, and now drawing in the Green Bull Demon King and Lin Qihe, Yang Zhenshan’s attitude has always been the same—the willingness to join meets the willingness to provide fair and equal treatment.

This is one reason why internal strife is rare in the Spirit Source Land.

Lin Qihe took a deep breath, then gazed intensely at Yang Zhenshan.

"Yang, you truly surprised me today!"

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, "In the past, my cultivation was low, and my strength was weak. To safeguard this place, I naturally had to keep things under wraps, but perhaps we won’t need to in the future."

"Both of us are still young. In a thousand years, perhaps we can also establish a powerful force as strong as the Ten Thousand Treasures Store or the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"

"To contend with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, we must oppose them with a top-tier force. Lin alone would be far from sufficient to combat the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!"

He knew what Lin Qihe wanted most—the revenge for the annihilation of his family was an irreconcilable hatred.

Although the masterminds behind the Lin family’s downfall, Zhang Mo and Duan Qiankun, were long dead, Lin Qihe’s hatred for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect had not abated; it had even intensified.

As for whether he should oppose the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, there was no doubt, as he also had irreconcilable conflicts with them.

He had many entanglements with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect since the days of the Soul-breaking Blade.

The Soul-breaking Blade was an external power established by Mo Xuanyu, and Mo Xuanyu was the person Xuanzhen most despised. Ultimately, Mo Xuanyu met his end at the hands of him and Xuanzhen.

But this is something the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is unaware of.

In the Sun Cave Heaven, he had snatched Lin Daoyuan and Yue E from Duan Qiankun.

And now, with Chi Yuan Ancestor and Yellow Springs Old Ghost having joined the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, their conflict had become overt.

Currently, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect doesn’t trouble him because they are preoccupied and uninterested in a trivial person like him.

If the Unpredictable Ghost Sect could conquer the Wanhua Demon Court and seize the entire Wanhua Mountain Range, Chi Yuan and Yellow Springs would surely not spare their enemy, him.

The hatred of shortening one’s life is equally irreconcilable.

"Against the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!" A fierce gleam flashed in Lin Qihe’s eyes.

During this time, he had not been idle. In fact, unknown to the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, he had eliminated quite a few Yin Soldier Blood Puppets constructing White Bone Pillars in the northern Wanhua Mountain Range.

He had been covertly and stealthily targeting the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

To be able to stand against the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, Lin Qihe gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I’ll join you, but I have one condition!"

"What condition?"

"Destroy the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!"

Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily, "Haha~~ I can’t guarantee that. I can only say that in the future, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect will be our common enemy!"
