That scene immediately awed everyone present.

Especially some of the younger crowd, who cast envious and admiring glances, for that was a cultivator of the Transcendent Void Realm. In this world, aside from the handful of True Immortals and True Demons, they stood as grand figures at the pinnacle of the world.

Facing the imposing celestial might of Jiang Zhencang, akin to the descent of a divine being, the Enlightened One Yunyang instantly wilted, his expression changing faster than one could flip a face, as he rushed forward and kowtowed, tears streaming from his aged eyes, “Master, your disciple’s travels in the Immortal Dynasty were fraught with endless dangers, countless times skirting the edge of life and death. In every crisis, your years of earnest teachings always echoed in my heart.”

“Yunyang, this lengthy path of a cultivator is all about cultivating the true self and tempering one’s will.”

This? Jiang Zhencang’s expression hesitated slightly. Had he ever said such a thing?

Alright, alright. He had taken on many disciples in his lifetime, and said many things, so let’s just assume he had said it. At least Yunyang’s attitude was somewhat comforting.

“You, you just can’t keep your composure, and you’re prone to overthinking the minor details. I don’t even know why you ran off to Longzuo Academy back then?” Jiang Zhencang asked with a slight frown. “Anyway, it’s all in the past now. You’ve finally made it, stepping into the Divine Power Territory.”

Jiang Zhencang was indeed quite pleased with this. He was originally from the Taiyi Jinyang Branch, and after becoming a Saint, he switched to cultivating the Transcendent Cloud Codex. Naturally, he paid close attention to this lineage.

However, the fate of the Taiyi Jinyang lineage was quite tumultuous, with two previous Divine Power Territory leaders perishing on the outer realm battlefields.

Thus, from the next generation, the Taiyi Jinyang lineage had two disciples of decent caliber. Intending to support this lineage, Jiang Zhencang took Lang Ya and Yunyang as disciples.

Lang Ya mainly cultivated the Taiyi Gengjin Sword from the Taiyi Jinyang True Method, entering the True Method through the Sword Dao. Yunyang had a fire attribute, and so he primarily cultivated the Taiyi Urgent Solar Palm.

In Jiang Zhencang’s view, the Taiyi Jinyang lineage was the most powerful among the nine veins of the Sacred Land. If there were a disciple with exceptional bloodline talent who could merge Geng Metal and Urgent Solar, they could truly leverage the combat power of the Taiyi Jinyang True Method.

And they could continuously improve the Taiyi Jinyang True Method, gradually elevating it to the level of a Codex.

Of course, to evolve the Divine Skills True Method into the Transcendent Void Codex was no simple task. It required generation after generation of inheritors to continuously relay and gradually carve out a path to the Void Realm.

This?

The conversation between Jiang Zhencang and the Enlightened One Yunyang also shocked the young attendees. Who would have thought that the two had a mentor-disciple relationship, and their personalities seemed so drastically mismatched?

Especially Gong Yang Ce, who was extremely astonished. This Elder Yunyang was actually his grand-uncle? The contrast between his master and his grand-uncle seemed so vast; they appeared to be from entirely different worlds.

“Lici, come and pay your respects to your grandmaster,” Yunyang prompted, eager to distract from the awkward honorifics for his own master.

Then, Wang Licui buzzed up in excitement, imitating her master’s kowtow, “Licui pays her respects to Grandmaster.” Despite appearing naive and food-obsessed, in reality, she was the most astute in perceiving the situation.

Stumbling into claiming a Transcendent Void big shot as her grandmaster was like unexpectedly enlarging her circle of connections, wasn’t it? Her master was right, the more one progressed in the Profound Martial path, the more crucial connections became.

The proverb is timeless: “At home, one relies on family; outside, one relies on friends.”

“Are you Lici?” Jiang Zhencang regarded Licui with a somewhat complex mindset. Logically, she was his grand-disciple, but Master Jiang had lived for three thousand years and had innumerable disciples and grand-disciples.

Now, his mind was pondering over his “grand plan” of enabling his true chosen successor Wang Ying Xuan to become the heir of the Lingyun Holy Ground and then smoothing out her path for the mid-late stages of the Void Realm.

If the plan proceeded smoothly, in two to three thousand years, the Lingyun Holy Ground would unconditionally surpass the Yinsha Sect. Faced with the combined high-end combat power of one against two or even three, how could South Qin and West Jin possibly stand in opposition?

If, during this time, Da Qian were to further grow and strengthen, and with the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty containing the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, it’s conceivable that South Qin and West Jin could be annexed.

By then, Da Qian could at least become a Half-step Immortal Court, while the Lingyun Holy Ground could become a Half-step Sacred Land.

Two to three thousand years may seem very long, but when it concerns the rise and fall of empires, what are two to three thousand years? By then, it would only be ten thousand years since the founding of Da Qian.

Under the “grand plan” within Jiang Zhencang’s heart, he could only offer Lici a consolatory gesture, “Little Licui, your grandmaster is a bit strapped for cash right now, so here’s a million Immortal Crystals as a welcoming gift to help you on your way to the Road of Divine Power.”

A million Immortal Crystals was not a small sum, but compared to the investment Jiang Zhencang had placed on Wang Ying Xuan, it was merely a drop in the bucket. In the future, all nine veins of the Sacred Land would become his tools, all to ensure that Wang Ying Xuan could reach the mid or even advanced stages of the Void Realm.

Wang Licui’s eyes sparkled, her smile as bright as a blossom, “Grandmaster, you’re really a good person. No wonder my master always speaks so highly of you in private.” Her master was right; connections truly mattered.

Beside her, the Enlightened One Yunyang thought with a hint of trouble brewing, “This Licui girl is going to stir up a storm.”

Sure enough.

Jiang Zhencang’s gaze swept Yunyang, “Girl, you’re exaggerating. My disciple Yunyang has always been one to hold grudges, and he left in a huff back then. If he doesn’t furtively curse me for being unfair, then I consider that he’s made some progress.”
