Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

”Then why do we still need to invade the heartland of the Nether Prison Sect?” Jian Changhe asked.

”Naturally, it’s for the negotiations later!”

Yang Zhenshan said, ”We’ve already won this battle, but it’s not enough. We need to completely make the Nether Prison Sect feel the pain, to make them realize they must submit to us!”

”We can negotiate with the Nether Prison Sect, but they must pay a sufficient price!”

”Does the Mountain Master not want to see the Nether Prison Sect suffer a huge loss?”

Jian Changhe looked at Jian Guyun, whose brows relaxed as he said, ”Elder Yang is right. The Nether Prison Sect must compensate us for our losses!”

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, ”Exactly. Whatever the Mountain Master wants, I don’t care, but if the Nether Prison Sect doesn’t give the Yang family one million Spirit Stones, the Yang family will not let it go easily!”

Jian Changhe was amused by his shamelessness, ”You only want Spirit Stones?”

Yang Zhenshan laughed, ”I’m afraid if I ask for too much, the Nether Prison Sect will fight to the death!”

”True, we can do without the rest, but we must have the Spirit Stones!” Jian Changhe said.

”And also Xianling City!” Yang Zhenshan added.

”Xianling City!” Jian Changhe’s eyes flickered.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, ”Although Xianling City is not a Blessed Land, it does have a First-order mid-grade Spirit Vein, enough to support two families!”

”By occupying Xianling City, we can advance and attack, or retreat and defend when facing the Nether Prison Sect in the future.”

We can do without the rest, but Xianling City must be taken.

Only this way can we ensure that Wuxiang City will not be the first to suffer due to the war between the two sides.

”The Mountain Master can support two families in Xianling City.” Yang Zhenshan added.

Jian Changhe looked at him in surprise, ”The Yang family doesn’t want Xianling City?”

”No need, the Yang family has the Wuxiang Sect and Wuxiang City, that’s enough. Having more would be inappropriate!” Yang Zhenshan looked at him frankly.

The Spirit Source Land doesn’t need to occupy too much territory externally, only two types of land are needed by the Spirit Source Land.

The first is a base of operations, such as the previous Yang Family Town, which can serve as a hub for the Spirit Source Land’s trade and exchange with the Sea of Spirit.

The second is a true Blessed Land, like the Wuxiang Sect’s base, which is an already developed Blessed Land, with a Second-Order mid-grade Spirit Vein, a large Spirit Fruit Garden, Medicinal Garden, and protected by an Array, with all kinds of buildings complete.

No need for the Spirit Source Land to invest much, and it can harvest a large number of resources.

If the Spirit Source Land needs investment, then it’s better to invest in the Spirit Source Land’s development, since there are still many undeveloped areas in the Spirit Source Land now.

Thus, the Spirit Source Land doesn’t need a lot of territories externally. Besides the Wuxiang Sect, even Wuxiang City doesn’t hold much value for the Spirit Source Land.

And Xianling City has even less value for the Spirit Source Land.

Jian Changhe nodded slightly, ”Then let’s do as Elder Yang suggests, first invade the heartland of the Nether Prison Sect, forcing the Nether Prison Sect to negotiate with us!”

After the decision was made, Qu Changkong led three thousand Yujing Guard soldiers away from Wuxiang City, pursuing in the direction of the Illusion Moon Sect’s detachment.

Thus, two armies began to conquer and seize territories within the domain of the Nether Prison Sect.

And the outcome of the Battle of Wuxiang City also spread quickly.

In Qingli Immortal City, inside Cave 1, Unit A.

A middle-aged cultivator reported the outcome of the Battle of Wuxiang City to Master Yun Ge.

”The Green Gold Sword, ah, that is the Spirit Sword left by the Heavenly Sword True Man. Not to mention the Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists, even Golden Core Cultivators would keep a respectful distance from the Green Gold Sword!”

Master Yun Ge couldn’t help but sigh after hearing it.

The middle-aged cultivator asked in confusion, ”The Green Gold Sword is so powerful, why isn’t True Monarch interested?”

For cultivators, a Magic Artifact, Magical Treasure, Spiritual Artifact, or Spiritual Treasure is an indispensable Protective Treasure.

Golden Core Cultivators naturally overlook Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures, and might not even care for some ordinary Spiritual Artifacts, but Golden Core Cultivators should be eager to acquire a Spiritual Artifact like the Green Gold Sword.

If White Cloud True Monarch were to obtain such a Spirit Sword, his strength would surely increase, so the middle-aged cultivator couldn’t understand why White Cloud True Monarch could tolerate Hidden Sword Mountain.

Master Yun Ge glanced at him, ”The Master cannot move against Hidden Sword Mountain!”

”I don’t understand!” The middle-aged cultivator was even more confused.

Master Yun Ge sighed wistfully, ”Because the Heavenly Sword True Monarch likely hasn’t perished yet!”

The middle-aged cultivator was stunned, staring at him in astonishment.

”I don’t know the specifics either. I only know that the cultivation of the Heavenly Sword True Monarch far surpassed the Master’s, his cultivation had already reached the late-stage Golden Core, not just in the Yunxiao Mountain Range, but even in the Wanhua Mountain Range, he was a top existence!”

”Back then, the Heavenly Sword True Monarch indeed transcended, but for Golden Core Cultivators, transcendence only means physical death, not the destruction of the soul.”

”You’ve heard of soul reincarnation, right?”

Master Yun Ge said.

The middle-aged cultivator nodded, ”Soul reincarnation, soul possession, you mean the Heavenly Sword True Monarch may have reincarnated?”

Master Yun Ge got up and walked to the front of the hall, looking at the ethereal white clouds in the sky.

”I don’t know!”

”Perhaps!”

The Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Refinement Realm are not of the same level; the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm are also not of the same level.

He is only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and cannot truly understand the mysteries of the Golden Core Realm.

Regarding many things, he only has a partial understanding.

”In that case, why didn’t we intervene to mediate between Hidden Sword Mountain and the Nether Prison Sect before?” The middle-aged cultivator was even more puzzled.

Master Yun Ge chuckled, ”Didn’t I already say? Someone hopes for a great battle between the Sea of Spirit and the Nether Prison Sect!”

”Who? Could it be True Monarch? Does he want to test Hidden Sword Mountain?” the middle-aged cultivator speculated.

Master Yun Ge smiled and shook his head, ”How is that possible? Right now, the Master has no interest in dealing with the matters of Hidden Sword Mountain!”
