Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1186 – Internal conflict

Yang Junshan and Yang Junqi were overjoyed at Yang Junshan’s sudden return, even the usually cold Yang Junqi revealed a rare expression of excitement.

However, it was clear that there was one more matter he needed to settle. Regarding the Deep Earth Puppet’s request to return, Yang Junshan did not comment.

At first, when Yang Junshan took the Deep Earth Puppet away from the Immortal Palace, he had only agreed to thirty years, but the time limit had already passed. Since the Deep Earth Puppet wanted to return, the Yang Family could not stop it any longer, in fact, the Deep Earth Puppet itself was not lying, and the reason why he was willing to stay in the Yang family for a few more years, was because the environment of the West Mountain was beneficial to him.

However, when Yang Junshan took out the “Earth Core” that he refined from the top-grade spirit garden in the Stellar Cliffs’s dimensional realm, the Deep Earth Puppet instantly changed its mind.

Yang Junshan turned his head and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“That, give it to me, thirty years!”

The Deep Earth Golem seemed to want to speak a bit faster, but it was unable to speak in a coherent manner. Fortunately, its meaning was expressed very clearly.

“Are you saying that if I give this to you, you are willing to stand guard for the Yang family in the West Mountain for another 30 years?” Yang Junshan asked.

“That’s right!” The word ‘Deep Earth Golem’ was spoken with determination.

“Too little!” Yang Junshan rejected it without thinking.

“Fifty years!” The Deep Earth Golem immediately revealed the urgency of his needs.

Yang Junshan laughed, extended his hand, and another “Earth Core” that was similar in size to the previous one actually appeared in his hand. Following the movement of the nine man true energy in his palm, a layer of dust that was rarely seen by the naked eye started to be removed from the “Earth Core”.

Yang Junshan was refining the land within the spirit garden in the Stellar Cliffs’s dimensional realm. Because of the time that he had gone through the “refinement”, he was able to refine a large portion of the [Earth Core] element within the Ling Tian into the two “Earth Cores”. But what was happening now was refining the earth cores further, stripping the magazines inside away as much as possible, returning the “Earth Core” to its true state.

As the refinement continued, the “Earth Core” became a size smaller and the color changed from a grayish-black color ture-black color. The life force contained within it could make one salivate, and even the thick and heavy Earth Golem couldn’t help but take two steps forward.

“How long can you stay in the West Mountain?” Yang Junshan asked with a smile.

A hint of a struggle seemed to surface on the originally expressionless face of the Deep Earth Puppet, before saying, “I want to stay, are you really going to give me that?”

Yang Junshan threw the recovered land into the hands of the Deep Earth Puppet, and said: “Staying in the Yang Family foundred years, this land shall belong to you, and if there is nothing else, you can continue to sleep in the Earth Vein. I’m afraid that at that time, forget about a hundred years, in thirty to fifty years, your strength will probably reach Qingyun Realm.”

The Deep Earth Puppet obviously did not expect that Yang Junshan would actually give it to it first. After hearing Yang Junshan’s words, it raised its head and looked at Yang Junshan, then looked at the land in its hands. Then, its entire body sank into the ground, and towards Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan nodded towards the Earth Puppet whose head was left at the bottom of the Western Mountain. Then, he turned his head and smiled to Yan Qinxi. But what happened? When I just got back to the Immortal Palace, someone already told me that you were the mastermind! ”

Yan Qinxi immediately laughed upon hearing this, and said: “Looks like Great Divine Cultivator is indeed worthy of being Great Divine Cultivator. I originally thought that you had done it in secret, but I didn’t think that you would still be unable to completely hide it.”

Speaking of which, after Daoist Jia Bofang had mysteriously fallen at the borders of the eastern side of Tuo Wu Shan, the entire Zichu had fallen into an internal strife.

The original composition of the Zichu was extremely strange, it was mainly composed of members from the two great clans of the Yao County. The two great clans controlled close to 80% of the sect’s cultivation resources, as well as almost all of the high order cultivatobove the realms of life. They occupied the territory of Qi Yao and Chu Yao two counties.

Especially after Jia Bofang had advanced into the Daoist Realm, the entire Zichu had nearly already been under the control of the three Jia brothers. The later three brothers had secretly made changes within the Zichu on the surface, and it could even be said that they had gone all out.

Under the reforms of the Jia brothers, the first thing the Zichu did was to open up a wide range of gates and recruit talented cultivators from the Yao County. It was no longer limited to the Qi and Chu Families.

Moreover, it did its best to be fair and equal. Aesult, it similarly gave the cultivators with a different surname a way for them to rise in power, at least during the period when the three brothers were in power, the number of cultivators with a different surname and cultivation level in the Zichu increased by three or four, greatly increasing the power of the other two sects. At the same time, some of the secrets which the cultivators with a different surname and cultivation level in the previous two sects suffered suppression by the two clans, and even some of the secrets which the Qi and Chu Families hid were exposed, causing the Qi and Chu Families to be under a huge pressure.

The reform of the Zichu unavoidably touched upon the interests of the Qi and Chu Families. However, under the absolute power of the Jia brothers, even if the Qi and Chu Families secretly made small moves, they did not dare to openly go against them. This caused the reform of the Zichu families to have some twists and turns, but they continued to carry it out deeply.

To be fair, Jia Bofang’s reforms had an active impact on the growth of the Zichu’s power, and the direction of his reforms was to push the Zichu towards a completely diverse sect, not just an alliance of the loose families that the Qi and Chu Families took turns to control. At least, during the past few years of Jia Bofang’s reign, the number of high order cultivator’s high order cultivatoad been increasing.

However, just as the transformation of the Zichu was nearing success, for some inexplicable reason, Daoist Jia Bofang was killed without warning on his way back from a visit to the Tan Xi Sect. Furthermore, the culprit’s corpse had not been destroyed, nor had he been found.

However, it was just the beginning, and it was just like the prelude to the internal strife in the Zichu. Just as the cultivation world was discussing the reason behind the fall of Daoist Jia Bofang, Jia Shu Zhi, who was severely injured by Yan Qinxi after she had escaped from the Buried Sky Ruins, suddenly died in front of the sect gate.

In less than a month, the last remaining of the Jia Clan brothers, Adept Tai Gang Jia Zhongyi, who was the additional son-in-law of the Chu Family, suddenly escaped with his wife and children. The Qi and Chu Families combined their powers to attack and chase the six people, and in the end, the six realms of life cultivators chased after them at the border of the Yuzhou, and a huge war broke out between the two sides. In the end, the venomous and injured Jia Zhongyi, who was wary of his wife and son, was killed by the combined forces of the Chu and Qi families, and not a single one of his wife and son survived.

After wielding power in the Zichu for dozens of years, the Jia family’s three brothers, who were renowned in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, had disappeared into thin air. The reforms that they had worked for in the Zichu were also forced to a standstill due to the retaliation of the two great clans, Qi and Chu. However, their reforms were not without results.

However, the moment Zichu fell into a state of internal strife, the surrounding sects didn’t hold back at all. fire valley, Western Mountain Madame Yang and Opening Spirit School, all started to follow the direction of Zichu and expand their scope of influence.

When Yang Junshan returned, the Zichu was already on the brink of death due to the joint attacks of several sects. The Qi and Chu Families could only gather in the sect’s hall, struggling to survive.

On top of the Western Mountain, Yan Qinxi roughly described the changes that had occurred in the structure of the entire Yao County after the fall of Daoist Jia Bofang.

Yang Junshan sighed: “So that means that Jia Bofang’s secret visit to the Tan Xi Sect was caused by someone within the Zichu who intentionally leaked the news. After you found out about it, you secretly verified it in the Tan Xi Sect, and someone in the Tan Xi Sect also leaked the news of Zichu’s alliance with the Tan Xi Sect as well as Jia Bofang’s trip. In the end, you informed Hu Niu that the three of them ambushed and killed Jia Bofang at the eastern border of the Tuo Wu Shan.”

Yan Qinxi said: “I cannot allow Tan Xi Sect to form an alliance with a force that has enmity with the Western Mountain Madame Yang. This is not because I am afraid that if they form an alliance, it will harm the Madame Yang, but rather, I am worried that the Tan Xi Sect will be dragged into it.

Yang Junshan smiled and did not speak.

Yan Qinxi asked again: “Since you’re back, then what should we do next, Madame Yang?”

Yang Junshan muttered to himself for a moment, then said: “As for the details, you can decide for yourself, I have stirred up some trouble when I returned from the foreign land, although this trouble will not affect you guys, but I plan to stay in seclusion foeriod of time, during this period of time I can ask the cultivators of the clan to restrain themselves a little, and Yao County will do as you see fit, who exactly is in charge of Yao County?”

Yan Qinxi did not ask him what trouble it was, but hearing Yang Junshan’s question, she replied: “It was chosen by Old Thirteen, but Ning Bin was the one who helped him with the details. Oh right, Yu’er went with him, his cultivation has now reached the peak of the Astral Transformation Realm.”

When Yang Junshan heard this, he laughed: “His cultivation did not rise too quickly, it seems like he did not just take decisions on his own, he must have a solid foundation too. Then, when we return, send him to the Immortality Peach Mountain in the Coldjade mountain range, see if he had the chance to find the Immortality Peach.”
