Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 458 - Cinnabar



Chapter 458 – Cinnabar

The fact that Yang Junshan had managed to advance to realms of life and kill Xiong Mantao shocked everyone. The father and son from the Yang family in the Western Mountain could be considered as legendary in the entire Yuzhou, but what was even more astonishing was that after the father and son duo advanced to the realms of life, they used the same method to kill the father and son duo from the Xiong Family.

Not to mention the waves that he caused in the cultivation world because of Yang Junshan, Yang Junshan had currently gone through half a year of closed door cultivation, and with the help of the precious pellet Song Wei gave him, which was especially used to strengthen his cultivation, he had finally consolidated his cultivation. As for the news of Yang Tiangang’s survival, other than Yang Junshan, the entire Xishan Village knew nothing.

After Song Wei left the Xishan Village, he did not return to the guard post of the Wasteland Town, but instead went straight back to the Jinyu County, and after finding out that Yang Junshan had levelled up to the realms of life, the Heaven-Shaken Sect also moved extremely quickly, transferring a batch of cultivation resources over to the Wasteland Town. After Yang Junping received and checked, he discovered that the amount of materials was much more than what he had promised.

When Yang Junping told this to Yang Junshan, he only chuckled, and did not say much about it. Yang Junping understood what he meant, and accepted all the treasures.

In order to break through the realms of life, Yang Junshan had exhausted nearly half of the middle and low level cultivation resources that the Yang family had saved up over the years. If not for this timely arrival of this batch of resources, the resources that the Yang family had at their disposal would have been depleted in another one to two years.

Opening Spirit School had lost several Adept Realm Cultivator s in a row, although the Xiong father and son duo were cultivators from families that were subordinate to the Opening Spirit School, it was still a heavy blow to the powers of the Opening Spirit School.

In these past half a year, it was said that the number of cultivators stationed in Wasteland Town had decreased, and even Spiritual Master Yuan Fei rarely appeared in Wasteland Town. If not for the fact that Opening Spirit School was still on a routine patrol around the border between Wasteland Town and Wasteland Town, he would have thought that the entire Wasteland Town was about to be abandoned by him.

Just as Yang Tiangang and his son were discussing about the reason that caused Opening Spirit School to suddenly shrink, a message from Heaven-Shaken Sect made the two of them understand.

Three days ago, a large wave of snakes from the Nanxuan swamp poured into Chenyu County’s Ore Stone Town, causing the entire town to become hell on earth. A large portion of the people from the town were killed, with Chenyu County’s powerful Ma Clan cultivators coming to save them, but they were still massacred by the wave of snakes.

“It’s the Alien Cultivator. Since this Taoist Master Taize is able to control a group of snakes, he must be a cultivator from a demon clan himself. Furthermore, it’s very likely that he’s a serpent demon!”

Yang Tiangang survived the Buried Sky Ruins, and at the same time, found out a lot of secrets about the Alien Cultivator. Now that the seal on the Buried Sky Ruins had broken, a large number of Alien Cultivator had descended onto the Yuzhou, and although they had chosen to hide, it did not mean that the Alien Cultivator were harmless.

Of course, Yang Junshan knew that this Taoist Tai Ze was a Snake Demon, and an extremely tyrannical one at that. In his previous life, this “Great King Tai Ze” had dominated the entire Nanxuan swamp, and he often drove his snakes into the villages near the swamps.

At first, Yang Junshan did not think that way. Upon hearing Yang Tiangang say this, he immediately thought of that day when the Alien Cultivator descended, and the flowing light that landed on the Sandtown and knocked over a mountain, and said: “So the reason Spirit Opening Realm reduced the protection of the Wasteland Town, was it to reduce one’s strength, or perhaps it was to exterminate the Alien Cultivator that had landed within the boundaries of the Opening Spirit School?”

Yang Tiangang nodded his head, and said: “It should be so. I think not only the Opening Spirit School, but also the various sects and powers of the various families and sects in the Yuzhou are trying to exterminate those Alien Cultivator, or at the very least, all of the Alien Cultivator within their sphere of influence.”

Yang Junshan naturally knew that this was impossible, because other than those who had not become True Demons and were unable to take human form, the other races, whether it was Shi nationality, Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, or Shaman Clan, were all like ordinary people without using any abilities or techniques. It was extremely difficult for the cultivators of the various sects to discover many of them, and they were also extremely easy to be killed by the Alien Cultivator.

Pausing for a moment, Yang Tiangang suddenly asked about Wasteland Town’s situation. Yang Junshan laughed: “Father, are you worried that Wasteland Town will also be hiding Alien Cultivator?”

“It’s not that we’re worried, it’s that it’s always there. Wu Shuo, Jiu Li, the tiger you’re raising, and the little girl who can become invisible. Which one of them isn’t Alien Cultivator?”

Yang Junshan laughed awkwardly, and said: “Wu Shuo and Jiu Li are noroblem, Father, you were saved by the Witch Clan in Buried Sky Ruins, wasn’t it also because our Yang Family had won the friendship between Wu Shuo and Wu Shuo? As for Hu Niu and Bao Yuer, they had always been monitoring the situation of the beasts in the entire Wasteland Town for their son.

“Okay, okay. It’s not that I don’t trust them, it’s just that I’m afraid that after their identities are revealed, they’ll become an excuse for the other sects to attack us. In short, we have to be careful.”

Seeing that Yang Tiangang was not truly targeting the identity of the Alien Cultivator, Yang Junshan was relieved and asked: “Father, tell me about the situation inside the Buried Sky Ruins!”

Yang Junshan’s question seemed to have piqued Lao Yang’s interest. Lao Yang thought for a moment, then said: “Actually, the entire Buried Sky Ruins is just a sealed spatial maze, it blocks off the way to enter this world. However, this seal isn’t completely locked, there are still some hidden tunnels in the depths of the maze that have yet to be discovered, or have been reopened.”

“Sincunnel has appeared, then there are some lucky Alien Cultivator s who are able to enter the great maze through these hidden spatial passages. Thus, after a period of time, the cultivators above realms of life of various sects in Yuzhou will gather in the Buried Sky Ruins and exterminate the Alien Cultivator in the maze, and at the same time, reseal the secret space entrance they discovered. If the Yuzhou still has the existence of a Daoist Realm cultivator, they would most likely need to reinforce the spatial seal in the maze.”

Yang Junshan said as if he had comprehended something, “I believe that every time the various sects in the Yuzhou gather and exterminate the Buried Sky Ruins s, they might not be able to kill all of them. I think that there might be a fish that escaped from the net, and it is very possible that these fish that escaped from the maze in the Buried Sky Ruins, and entered this world to hibernate.”

Yang Tiangang nodded his head: “Yes, but the truth is, the Alien Cultivator is not really a secret to the Adept Realm Cultivator. There are even many cultivators who, after killing the Alien Cultivator and obtaining their inheritance, would learn from and improve their own abilities. It is rumored that the ancestors of the Sirius Gate have once borrowed the cultivation methods of other races.”

“These Alien Cultivator s who barge into the Buried Sky Ruins usually carry treasures that don’t exist in this world with them. In addition, they also carry treasures, divine abilities, and legacies that can be used for reference, thus, every time the Buried Sky Ruins opens, the Adept Realm Cultivator s of the various sects would flock over like a flock of ducks. This is also the reason why Spiritual Master Shi Tai invited me to the Buried Sky Ruins back then.”

“I never expected that after entering the Buried Sky Ruins this time, the seal of the entire space maze would suddenly loosen, forming a huge space channel. When the Alien Cultivator s surged in, the various sects and Spiritual Masters of the Yuzhou could not withstand it, and many cultivators even fell, causing them to eventually be forced to break out of the encirclement. It was also at that time that father accidentally fell into Wang Qian’s trap, and he almost died on the spot.”

Hearing that, Yang Junshan immediately asked: “Then, has the spatial passageway in the Buried Sky Ruins ever opened before?”

Yang Tiangang was startled for a moment, and said: “It should be sealed, otherwise wouldn’t the Alien Cultivator be able to enter this world endlessly?”

Speaking to here, Yang Tiangang laughed and said, “Speaking of which, we have been engaged in a bitter battle with the Buried Sky Ruins since the beginning, but we have not completely lost anything. Other than obtaining a batch of high level cultivation resources from the slain Alien Cultivator, we have also found two other inheritances.”

Yang Tiangang said, he took out two inheritance jade platnd said: “One of the inheritance stone tablets has a set of ice attribute cultivation technique, our Yang family has a vein of Frigid Mountain Stone in our hands, if there are any suitable descendants, we can let them try to cultivate.”

The most important foundation for a faction was the diversity of their inheritance. Only by doing this would they be able to teach and use their greatest potential among the younger generation, so that no matter what the circumstances, a faction’s inheritance would be able to form a model of being in charge of their own. This way, they would be able to maintain a faction’s long-term prosperity as much as possible.

Just like the Yang family back in the days, because they only had a single spirit rank cultivation technique, every disciple of the Madame Yang could only choose to cultivate this technique. Even people like Yang Junqi, who had good talent, were unable to advance their martial arts realm.

And with the help of Yang Tiangang’s change in cultivation of the Changchun Spiritual Art, not only had his cultivation increased rapidly, in just a short span of two to three years, it had also increased to the second level of the martial arts realm. This waypical example of the incompatibility between cultivation methods and cultivators themselves.

As for the second inheritance jade plate, it recorded the inheritance of a spirit art and divine ability. Yang Junshan scanned it with his spirit sense and was immediately surprised.

Yang Tiangang “hehe” laughed, and said: “What, you also think it’s strange, right? When I obtained this jade board, I was also very surprised, a Overcast and a Sky Seal, such a matching spirit art couldn’t help but cause others to not suspect that there’s a connection between the two.”

Yang Junshan was also a little curious, and said: “That Overlapping Earth Seal was obtained from the ruins of the Inheritance Pavilion in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, where did this inheritance come from, the Alien Cultivator?”

Yang Tiangang shook his head: “No, it’s a Yuzhou cultivator, and even though there is no evidence, I suspect that the corpse was a Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator when he was alive.”

It was normal for a corpse to not be discovered for several hundreds of years after it had fallen. However, Yang Tiangang’s luck was obviously not bad, when he was clearing the Alien Cultivator’s space maze, he discovered a corpse that he did not know when he had left behind, and obtained the inheritance of the “Heaven Seal” set of spirit arts on the corpse.
