Yang Junshan didn’t know the purpose of the Taoist Eastflow, and only said: “This junior doesn’t know either, I expect that at that time, he would come looking for me.”
Although Yang Junshan did not inform the two Dao Ancestors about the records of the lung, since Sang Wuji had even passed the Heaven Constitution Finger to him, then he naturally had other purposes for entering Tiancheng, which was comparable to the Heaven Constitution Finger. However, since it was related to the other Dao Ancestor, if Yang Junshan did not tell them, the two Dao Ancestor would not be able to inquire too.
The recording of the lung was an extremely important matter, even if it was his two closest Dao Ancestors, Ziyuan and Dong Liu, he did not dare to reveal anything about it.
However, there was no need for Yang Junshan to hide anything when Taoist Eastflow asked him about Sang Wuji’s whereabouts. Sang Wuji indeed did not say how he should contact him, and Taoist Eastflow himself knew that Sang Wuji’s identity was sensitive to such things, hence, he had expected it long ago. He only said: “If he comes to find you, then you might as well tell him that this old man wants to meet him.
Yang Junshan nodded and agreed.
Before long, the group of five arrived at Mengyu County. Not far away was the Yang family’s encampment, where everyone stopped.
With a flip of his hand, a multicolored stone the size of a human head appeared in his palm, and said: “This is the Origin Stone, take it and arrange it as soon as possible. This old one’s tribulation lightning probably won’t be able to wait much longer, and the key to success or failure lies with you.”
Yang Junshan received the treasure with both hands, and with a glint flashing in his eyes, he laughed: “May I ask Senior, then this Origin Stone belongs to this junior?”
Taoist Eastflow looked at him with a funny expression. Adept Jiangxin, who was beside him, impatiently stared at him and asked: “What do you think?”
Yang Junshan laughed awkwardly, and said: “Even if Senior does not mind sucreasure, I’m afraid Flying School will not agree to it!”
The Taoist Eastflow nodded his head, and said: “Once the Origin Stone is used as the base of the formation, it will continuously transform into an invisible source of power, and use a little less. This old man knows that you want to use it to raise the Yang family’s protection array, but the Origin Stone cannot stay in the Yang family, and the Flying School will definitely not allow that to happen. Once the lightning tribulation passes, no matter if this old man succeeds, the Origin Stone will be kept back, so how much you can use it will depend on your own ability.”
“In the end, time is still too short!”
It was easier said than done. Even with the help of the two Dao Patriarchs, Yang Junshan had not been able to gather enough five elemental earth meridian s for all these years. Although the Origin Stone could communicate with the five elements, it was only for the time being, and after completing the task, the Origin Stone would have to be taken back by the Flying School. As for the other method to use the Five Elements Lightning Light technique, Yang Junshan had only acquired the two Thunder Ability s, Yi Mu and Sunflower Water.
However, what no one noticed was that after Yang Junshan took out the Origin Stone, his eyes shone with an abnormally deep light. No one knew what he was planning in his heart at this time.
“Kid, what are you planning now?”
Seeing that Yang Junshan had not spoken for a long time, Daoist Ziyuan could not help but ask.
Yang Junshan was slightly startled, then laughed: “I forgot to ask, when will Senior communicate with thunder tribulation?”
Daoist Ziyuan was startled, and said, “It should be not long after fellow Daoist Eastflow has experienced his tribulation.”
Yang Junshan laughed: “Senior has the body avatar assisting you, you should be able to overcome the thunder tribulation.”
Daoist Ziyuan shook her head with a bitter smile, and said: “Under the lightning tribulation, no one can say for sure that they will be able to get through it, not to mention that this noble one’s true danger is not at the time of the thunder tribulation, but even more so after the lightning tribulation!”
immediately understood the meaning behind Daoist Ziyuan’s words. Although thunder tribulation wahreat to every single Taoist Hua Gai, as a rogue cultivator, without the support and protection of a top sect like the Taoist Eastflow, even if she managed to survive the thunder tribulation, she would have to face the enemy of the past. Whether it was the Purple Wind Sect or her enemies, they would not let go of this opportunity.
“Here’iece of advice for you!”
What Daoist Ziyuan said caused Yang Junshan to be slightly stunned, but she quickly focused her mind, and heard her say: “Your cultivation has risen extremely fast, and your power is so tyrannical that it would not even reach the second place amongst cultivators of the same cultivation level. Your family is flourishing because of you, and the famous Madame Yang s are now even more powerful in the cultivation world.
Yang Junshan did not understand the meaning behind Daoist Ziyuan’s words, and could only listen attentively.
Ziyuan paused for a moment, then continued, “Whether it is the Purple Wind Sect or the Heavenly Spirit Sect, they are both sects guarded by the Dao Realm Patriarchs, and you have heard the words of the Jiu Si Ancestor, whether I or I can pass through the thunder tribulation, we will head towards the Extraterritorial Space, and at that time, the situation in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou will change again. “Therefore, I suggest that you keep it in check for a few years, until you advance to the Dao Realm.”
The cause and effect on Yang Junshan was not small, no matter if it was because he had suppressed Liu Xunqing’s life treasure, asked the Purple Wind Sect for his mountain breaking mace s’ remnants, or had previously become unscrupulous and hostile towards the Heavenly Spirit Sect, or even had a terrible relationship with the Mystic Yuan Sect, Ling Yizong and the other sects, in the eyes of Daoist Ziyuan, it was probably because he had her supporting Taoist Eastflow behind him, coupled with Yang Junshan’s young and infamous pride, that caused him to act rather unrestrainedly.
However, the moment he lost the backing of the two Dao Patriarchs, Yang Junshan and the Yang family behind him would find it difficult to move under the suppression of the various powers.
This was also why Yang Junshan had been so helpful to Daoist Ziyuan, and also why Daoist Ziyuan was so grateful. Otherwise, if the two of them only used each other’s powers, with Daoist Ziyuan’s status, the Dao Realm experts and below would be nothing more than ants in their eyes. As long as it did not involve his own interests, what did his life or death have to do with him?
After the two Dao ancestors left, Adept Jiangxin also followed Taoist Eastflow. Yang Junshan brought Lan Qiaoming back to Wasteland Town, and silently entered the Xishan Village.
Yang Junshan’s return very quickly alarmed the core cultivators of the Yang family. Yan Qinxi was the first to rush over, and the moment she saw him, she threw herself into his embrace with tears in her eyes.
“Grandpa passed away!”
Yang Junshan patted her shoulder and comforted her, “I know that I know that the Dao Realm is a natural chasm, that it is to do one’s best to obey the heavens’ will. Moreover, the old man had enjoyed for more than four hundred years, so it is not considered a premature death.”
Yan Qinxi cried sorrowfully, and said: “Grandfather treats me the best, but I can’t send him off on his final journey after he passed away!”
Yang Junshan said: “People who cultivate with me already have a different view on life and death. Moreover, you are still in sixth place, so your strength is not even thirty percent of your original strength. How can you go out?”
“You already know about the Xi’an County?” Yan Qinxi asked.
Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “One of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s wolf cavalry troops has been blocked by me, but Gray Wolf has advanced into the Dao Realm, and after the Heavenly Spirit Sect mastered the secret beast training technique, their strength has greatly increased, I am afraid that they will not give up on attacking the Xi’an County.”
Yan Qinxi nodded her head, and said: “Father asked me if I wanted to help, but Mystic Yuan Sect and Heaven-Shaken Sect both had plans for the Madame Yang, and I suspect that there is some sort of connection between them, so I advised father not to act rashly. However, Father made the arrangements at the Tuo Wu Shan and the Huyao County, and controlled a portion of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s power.”
Yan Qinxi’s actions had obviously taken into account the Yang family’s interests, as this would cause her to gain the approval of everyone in the entire Yang family. Of course, more importantly, Yan Qinxi understood that in a situation where Yang Junshan was not in his clan, the power that the Yang family could unleash was limited.
“Then what is Tan Xi Sect planning to do next?” Yang Junshan asked.
Even though Old Daoist Yan did not pass the Dao Realm, Yang Junshan did not believe that the Tan Xi Sect would be helpless as the Tan Xi Sect’s power reserves were much deeper than the Madame Yang’s. Furthermore, Yang Junshan believed that Old Daoist Yan would not place all his hopes on him breaking through to the Dao Realm, and would definitely leave behind a corresponding backup plan to maintain the strength of the Tan Xi Sect.
As expected, Yan Qinxi said, “It’s been a long time since Senior Master Li has shown up for the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s invasion. He should be making a breakthrough in his Taihang Realm soon.
“Shortcut secret techniques?” Yang Junshan frowned and asked: “Will it have an impact on how I advance to the Dao Realm in the future?”
The Dao Realm legacies of the Tan Xi Sect may be intermittent, but the Dao Realm legacies below that level have sufficient reserves to maintain.
Yan Qinxi said: “It’s said that it won’t affect me, but after I advance to Taihang Realm, my cultivation will continue to remain stuck at the level of a hundred years. Grandfather originally delayed this secret technique for too long, otherwise, I would have accumulated for an extra hundred years.
A hundred years of cultivation and no progress, how could this not affect him?
Yang Junshan was a little speechless, but compared to those secret techniques which could reduce the lifespan of cultivators by a hundred years or even cause them to sustain seven to eight injuries, the secret techniques passed down by the Tan Xi Sect were truly mild, and did not destroy the hope of breaking through to the Dao Realm.
Even if Old Daoist Yan passed away, with the Tan Xi Sect’s resources, he would not be annihilated by the Heavenly Spirit Sect. If the Adept Chang Li were to successfully advance into the Supreme Force, then the power of the Tan Xi Sect would not be reduced greatly, but being suppressed by the Heavenly Spirit Sect was already a foregone conclusion. Even Yan Dazhi would not be able to reverse this trend in the short term, unless someone from the Tan Xi Sect advanced into the Dao Realm.
In the cultivation world, a strong individual could definitely play a decisive role, but it was not to the point of killing and taking everything by force. Even if the Taoist Greywolf advanced to the Dao Realm, the Heavenly Spirit Sect could only gradually expand on the fundamental stage of being the sole ruler of the entire Zhang County. Even if they joined forces with the Sirius Gate and the Seven Spirit Sect, their power and potential would not be comparable to the Heaven-Shaken Sect at all.
