Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 772 – Competing

Yang Junshan returned to the Mengyu County with an uneasy feeling. Just as he returned to the Yuzhou, the news about the Soul Splitting Gourd chasing Daofather Ziyuan had already spread throughout the large sects and high order cultivator.

As for the little cultivator from the realms of life who followed Daofather Ziyuan and helped her remove the barrier, although she did enter the eyes of some Daoists, even many sects were paying him some attention and understanding.

After all, the number of array masters in the cultivation world was simply too few compared to alchemists and blacksmiths, and high ranked array masters were naturally more eye-catching. No one would suspect that the Soul Splitting Gourd was in Yang Junshan’s hands, and no one would look for trouble with him because of that.

Therefore, the first thing Yang Junshan did after he returned to the Western Mountain was to secretly gather all of the spirit cultivators of the Madame Yang and roughly tell them how he went on this trip to the Sangzhou.

then broughortion of the clan’s elites to guard the Sunset Ridge, while Yang Tiangang similarly brought a portion of the elites to the Wilderness Town. The Adept Zhou Yi was still in the Huyao County, so Yang Junxiu and Bao Yuer did not reveal their identities.

When Yang Junhao was on his way out on a tour, he took away the Icy Plains Giant Hawk that Yang Junshan gave him. Earlier, the giant hawk had just returned with a message, saying that Yang Junping wanted to travel to the Yanzhou, so Yang Junshan immediately wrote a secret letter to ask the Frigid Eagle to send him, allowing him to not have to return a year or two ago.

Originally, Yang Tiangang wanted to replace Yang Junshan as the leader of the Xishan Village, to let him travel or hide, to avoid this mess. However, Yang Junshan knew that if someone really went to look for the Yang Family, then there might be a chance for him. If he did not appear, not only would he not be able to escape from the pursuit of others, even if he could escape, the entire Yang Family would also be implicated.

As of now, all the most elite disciples of the younger generation of the Xishan Village had already been sent out, and were stationed at all the borders of the Madame Yang. Once the situation developed in the worst possible direction, the other Madame Yang clansmen would all be organized and flee in different directions.

Aside from Yang Junshan, the only one left in the Xishan Village was Yang Junqi.

Yang Junqi had started cultivating in seclusion before Yang Junshan left the Western Mountain. Ever since Su Baozhang failed to forcefully advance to the realms of life, all the cultivators in the Madame Yang had simultaneously slowed down their cultivation growth. Not only did none of thttempt to break through the bottleneck of the realms of life, even the number of cultivators who advanced to the late stage of the martial arts realm and the Great Perfection Stage had decreased.

However, Yang Junqi was not one of these people. While the others were hesitating, Yang Junqi resolutely stepped into the secluded cultivation room.

This time, Yang Junqi’s breakthrough was initially opposed by the Yang family’s few Spiritual Masters. Due to her previous relationship with Su Baozhang, the elders of the Yang family did not know if her closed-door cultivation had truly reached a breakthrough, or if it was due to anger.

All these years, everyone in Madame Yang knew that Zhang Yi had worked hard for her, and Yang Junqi was not blind either. These few years, she had wandered around Su Baozhang’s home who knows how many times, but she had held back from going to see him once. Although Su Baozhang’s vitality was severely injured, he was not so heavily injured that he had not fallen asleep, and the person who took care of him was also someone who had not come out to see Yang Junqi once. These few years, he had also not come out to see her again.

The rift between Su Baozhang and Zhang Yi’s husband and wife started to close a lot due to Yang Junqi. At least, the tense father son relationship between Su Baozhang and Su Changan had become more harmonious.

Yang Junqi was originally a cold and beautiful woman, who spoke very little, suddenly choosing to go into seclusion to attack the realms of life at this time. No one knew if she was being stimulated to the point of seeking death, even if it was in order to advance to the realms of life, it would still cause people to feel uneasy when she went into seclusion with suceart.

Every single seedling with the potential to enter the realms of life wareasure. In terms of aptitude, Yang Junqi could be said to be second only to Yang Junhao, and no one was willing to see her choose to go into closed door cultivation at this time.

However, Yang Junqi was still a stubborn person, it was extremely difficult to stop something that she had set her mind on. Since others did not agree, she decided to not discuss with others and locked herself in the secret room.

Two years of time passed by in a flash, but nothing happened in the Madame Yang at all. The news about the appearance of the Sangzhou had also long since spread to the cultivation world of the Yuzhou.

Of course, among the various sects in the Yuzhou, the thing that was spread the most was the matter of finding treasures on the outskirts of the everlasting dense forest, this was something that the powerful sects in the Yuzhou had once sent their disciples to the Sangzhou before. The news that they had brought back was mostly about the sect in the forest who found the treasures and such, and the hustle and bustle of the trade in the forest afterwards, as well as the battle with the Alien Cultivator in the forest and so on.

However, they did know that Yang Junshan had participated in this matter as well. It was only when the various great sects asked the Yuzhou about the cultivation world later on that they finally realized that the reason that Daofather Ziyuan was able to snatch the Soul Splitting Gourd in the middle of the secret area ahead of the rest of the other Great Divine Cultivator s was because he had a young formation master by his side helping him.

As for the identity of that young formation master, almost every sect in Yuzhou could guess that he was the newly promoted Yuzhou, Western Mountain Madame Yang Heavenly Gale Spiritual Master Yang Junshan!

What was important was not the attention paid to Yang Junshan by the sects other than the Yuzhou, but rather that Yang Junshan actually hooked up with the Ziyuan Daofather without making any noise!

The various sects in Yuzhou had already confirmed one thing, as long as Daofather Ziyuan did not fall, then this Madame Yang would not be easy to offend, and would even need to make the necessary arrangements, and even if Daofather Ziyuan was not able to escape this crisis, the Madame Yang would probably not move easily, because from the voices of the various factions outside of the Yuzhou, after hearing Yang Junshan’s background, they seemed to hold admiration and surprise, not to mention that the current Yang family was nolace where anyone could move just because they wanted to.

Yang Junshan actually wanted to find out more about Daofather Ziyuan, but Daofather Ziyuan had always deliberately concealed her presence, and had only heard a few reports that were suspected to be a battle between him and the Taoist Eastflow, but some of the information was fake and true, while some were inside the Yuzhou, and some even came from outside the Yuzhou, making it even harder for people to find out where she was. However, from these fake and true information, it was clear that at least the Taoist Eastflow did not catch up to him, and she was not killed or her Soul Splitting Gourd stolen.

However, it was said that Taoist Eastflow had brought a disciple from the Flying Sword Sect with him. After he followed his ancestor into the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, he quickly found the Jade Sword Sect and picked out the few true disciples that had advanced to realms of life s from top to bottom. This disciple had suppressed his cultivation to the point where it was as if he was a Jade Sword Sect cultivator fighting with every one of them.

On the contrary, all of them were overjoyed. It was said that the true disciples of the realms of life would often take the initiative to spar with the true disciple of the Zephyr Guild, and there were even some elders of the Jade Sword Sect who were shameless enough to make a move, but there was only one reason for that, and that was because maybe it was because the Jade Sword Sect accompanied his own junior disciples from top to bottom in their sword practice.

What status did the Taoist Eastflow have? A dignified first class sect Flying Sword Sect like the forefather of the Dao, a sword cultivator with Huagai’s field, a sword practitioner with unparalleled sword skills, and a rare opponent under the Thunder Tribulation Dao. With just a few words, every single sentence from him could be considered as the golden law of sword cultivation.

However, it was said that this Successor Disciple of the Flying School, Xia Yuan, had gotten tired of staying in the Jade Sword Sect and wanted to travel around the Yuzhou. After hearing the news, the Yuxiao Sect couldn’t sit still any longer and sincerely invited the Xia Yuan to exchange pointers.

Second, it was said that the sword techniques of the Successor Disciples in the past two years had improved greatly, and as Yuxiao Sect s who were neighbors with the Jade Sword Sect in the same county, there was naturally a lot of pressure. Yuxiao Sect also wished to exchange pointers with this Successor Disciple, allowing their own disciple to gain some pointers from the Eastern Flowing Dao Ancestor.

In these few years, the growth of Tan Xi Sect’s power was extremely fast, but the pressure he faced was also increasing by the day. Firstly, the foreign forces within Xi’an County were gradually gaining a foothold, and secondly, they were being forced by the foreign forces.

Maybe it was because of the guidance that she had received from the Taoist Eastflow, or maybe it was not easy for her to be used by others, she had spread the word that she wanted to spar with the various factions in the Yuzhou, but she did not stay in any of the factions for long, this time’s challenge was just to hone her sword techniques, she was even looking forward to sparring with the Tan Xi Sect’s Spiritual Master Yan Dazhi, the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Spiritual Master Zhang Yueming and the’s Spiritual Master Jun Shan.
