Chapter 597: Peeling off the cocoon
In addition to bestowing blessings upon Yang Zhu's mother, Mi Duo, Yang Genshuo also bestowed a series of blessings upon Yang Zhu.

Help him improve his current abilities.

In order to cope with this unknown world overgrown with mushrooms.

When Yang Genshuo bestowed the blessing [Blessing: Stimulate Bloodline]...
[Ding~ Your descendant Yang Zhu has had his bloodline as a child of light awakened, gaining the state of 'Believe in the Light'. As long as he is in a place with light, his strength will be enhanced in all aspects.]

A pretty good buff.

"But it's no use, it's like there's no light in this world."

Yang Zhu has been gone for a while now. Not to mention light, we haven't even seen a living person. All we see are rotting trees and various kinds of mushrooms.

Among them are some harmful mushrooms that can devour enemies.

Yang Genshuo originally wanted to remind Yang Zhu, but when he realized that Yang Zhu was using the same cheat code as him, he avoided the question.

You won't fall into those mushroom traps at all.

Just now, Yang Zhu bypassed another [Bone Mushroom] and carried his mother onto a safe path.

Then he noticed an inconspicuous black mushroom under the golden leaves, and his eyes lit up!
Here, Yang Genshuo needs to explain. When we describe someone's eyes lighting up, it's usually a metaphorical reference, referring to a change in their expression. But Yang Genshuo is referring to a physical eye light.

A beam of light flashed out and locked onto the black mushroom buried under the leaves.

"It's really bright."

It's quite easy to expose it.

Yang Zhu carried his mother on his back and ran over, digging out a whole mushroom from under the leaves.

【Full-feeding mushrooms】

[It possesses extremely high nutritional value; a small piece can provide a day's worth of spiritual sustenance, and a single large piece can sustain a person's vital signs for a considerable period.]

This mushroom is extremely fragrant and delicious, making it a top-grade ingredient for culinary arts.

Yang Zhu looked at it carefully, then nodded and took a bite.

Smack smack~~~
Bah, bah, bah~
Master Yang ate with great relish. Underneath the black outer skin were large chunks of snow-white mushroom flesh, tender and juicy. Master Yang ate with complete satisfaction.

"Wow, it can not only avoid the poisonous ones, but also accurately eat the beneficial mushrooms. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but so many times, it must be a miracle."

Yang Genshuo couldn't help but appear and ask:
"Master Yang, how do you know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are edible?"

Yang was somewhat surprised.

"Ancestor, are you still watching me?"

Then we ate a little more politely, without the wildness we had before.

"Yes, you're in a rather dangerous situation. I'll watch over you to help you get out of danger."

Yang Genshuo hasn't yet figured out all the things that have happened to the Yang family over the years, so he doesn't plan to communicate with the other members of the Yang family or reveal that he has woken up. Instead, he wants to observe what the Yang family is like without him.

Although his ability is powerful, allowing him to see a person's cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and physical condition, it cannot see into a person's heart.
Just as he could never have imagined that Yang Qiangwei would become an empress who manipulates puppets, she had always been a very polite person.

Yang Qiangwei is now a key figure in the Yang family's current negative balance of merit.

She has abandoned all morals in her pursuit of becoming stronger.

Yang Genshuo had to figure out what was going on and where Yang Feng had gone.
Now that he has sorted out the affairs of the Yang family, he can pay attention to this child he picked up for free. Yang Zhu's talent and his situation are just right for Yang Genshuo to manifest his spirit.

Anyway, outsiders don't know what's going on here.

Yang Zhu seemed uncomfortable with someone constantly watching him from the sky, and after hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Ancestor, my eyes have been able to see the light and darkness of objects since I was a child. Light is beneficial to me, and darkness is harmful to me. When I see dark mushrooms, I stay away from them. This one is bright and delicious."

Yang Zhu held up his [Full-Fed Mushroom], shook it, and was very satisfied with his spoils.

Yang Genshuo gasped.

"What kind of Sharingan is this, that it can see through cause and effect directly?"

"Awesome."

Saint-level talent cannot be measured by common sense.

Both eyes have been enhanced.

Yang Zhu isn't very good at communicating; he just answers whatever Yang Genshuo asks, and otherwise finds his own way to survive.

He is also very good at surviving.

He doesn't look like a 10-year-old child.

"Where did you and your mother live before? Why are you so skilled at survival?"

“My mother said we were in a secret place, but I don’t know what it is. My mother has been taking me to different places to live. Sometimes we don’t have a bite to eat for several days. I’m used to it.”

"A secret realm...that's not easy to find."

This put Yang Genshuo in a difficult position; the secret realm was essentially devoid of any clues.
Is it a secret realm on the Lingmiao Continent, or a secret realm that appeared during the Twelve Dynasties?

Or is it a secret realm that appeared in a dynasty under another immortal sect?
The secret realm is inherently bizarre and unpredictable, making it extremely difficult to find.

"Do you remember who injured your mother? What were their characteristics? Were they even human?"

"They were all people, and they were very domineering. They chased us away as soon as they saw us. My mother was severely beaten after saying just a few words."

Yang Genshuo chatted with Yang Zhu for a while longer.

According to his description, they used to live in a secret realm, had never seen a human city, had never left, and had never seen his father.

We've been each other's only support for as long as I can remember.

Here, Yang Genshuo specifically asked about it. Yang Zhu had memories from the age of 1. He was also the kind of child who developed intelligence early, so he is not ignorant at the age of 10. He already has some of his own thoughts.

"In other words, Yang Min'an abandoned you when you were less than one year old. He deserves to die!"

What kind of father could be so irresponsible?

After Yang Zhu finished eating and drinking, he used his spiritual power to melt the food, fed some to his mother, and then began his cultivation for the day.

The cultivation technique he practiced was called "Guangdian," a Saint-level technique that he was born with. Yang Genshuo originally wanted to copy this technique to see if it could be practiced by other family members.

As a result, I was discouraged after reading the very first point of the introduction to the exercise.

[One must possess at least one wisp of the Law of Light before cultivating this technique.]

"Where would I get you to learn the laws of nature? Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't get one!"

"Never mind, the Yang family doesn't have any spiritual roots anyway, so they can't cultivate."

Seeing that Yang Zhu was cultivating by himself, Yang Genshuo stopped talking to him and instead looked at the other fifth-generation members of the Yang family.

Most of them are in the Great Nai Empire.

Besides Yang Zhu, there was also a member of the fifth generation of the Yang family who had a two-character name: the eldest daughter, Yang Zhu.

Daughter of Yang Minke.

"Oh, I remember him, Civil Engineering."

Yang Minke is very similar to Yang Min, both possessing two conflicting elements in their Five Elements spiritual roots. Yang Min's are Earth and Water, while Yang Minke's are Earth and Wood. Earth overcomes Water, and Wood overcomes Earth.

It is very difficult to cultivate these two kinds of spiritual power, as they will be constantly depleted.

Yang Min, due to his talent, was able to master it, but Yang Minke was not. He directly chose to abandon the wood spirit root and specialize in earth magic, mastering the "Mountain Moving Technique" to an extraordinary degree.

Yang Genshuo's biggest impression of him is that he is down-to-earth and hardworking.

Almost every time I saw him, he was diligently cultivating, unlike his other brothers and sisters.

It should be noted that after the fifth generation of the Yang family was born, there was no pressure to survive, and their living environment was quite good. As a result, they had less motivation to cultivate. Everyone was cultivating, but it was difficult to find that feeling of dying if they didn't cultivate anymore.

Under these circumstances, Yang Minke's down-to-earth and diligent self-cultivation qualities are truly commendable.

Yang Genshuo really likes this kid.

At this time, Yang Minke was the second-in-command of the Construction Department of the Da Nai Empire. Yang Genshuo looked at his biography and found that he had made a great contribution to the construction of the new Bright City.

At this time, Yang Minke was still cultivating, and his strength had reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm. He could be considered the best of the fifth generation of the Yang family.

"And he listened to my advice about early marriage and childbirth, so he was a good kid."

Yang Minke found a Daoist partner early on, and now they have three children.

Among them, the eldest is Yang Zhu, the fifth-generation eldest daughter of the Yang family. She is 80 years old this year and her strength has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"If you calculate it that way, Yang Minke got married and had children when he was in his thirties. Not bad, not bad."

Yang Genshuo glanced at Yang Zhu, the true fifth-generation eldest daughter.

"Huh? Why is her field of vision so narrow too?"

Yang Zhu's field of vision was only 300 meters, which was completely different from the field of vision that Yang Genshuo could currently achieve.

"Could it be that Yang Zhu no longer acknowledges my existence as his ancestor?"

This situation is not unique to Yang Zhu; in fact, it is not limited to Yang Zhu and Yang Genshuo. When they pulled out the largest number of fifth-generation members of the Yang family, they found that most of the fifth-generation children had a narrow field of vision of less than 1 li.

Yang Genshuo roughly understood at this point.
“100 years is too long. They have never seen the ancestor since they were born, nor heard my voice, nor seen the blessings I have bestowed. How can they have faith?”

"The reason this has remained is probably because the elders in the family have kept mentioning and teaching it. Otherwise, when they no longer believe that the Yang family has an ancestor, that would be the time when I lose their sight."

Most of the old acquaintances in front of the Yang family maintained a normal perspective. They had fought alongside Yang Genshuo for the rise of the family and naturally would not forget the help of their ancestor.

Those are all part of the Yang family's unforgettable history.

Yang Genshuo now has a new goal.

"I need to make the new generation of Yang family members believe in the existence of our ancestor and worship me again."

"We can't have another person like Yang Min'an."

"We must not allow the Yang Qiang incident to happen again."

Speaking of Yang Qiang, Yang Genshuo felt a pang of sadness.
"You've silently dedicated yourself to the family for so many years. Because of my mistake, you've been completely assimilated by the Heavenly Mystery Sect and lost your memories of family. I will definitely help you find them back."

Yang Qiang must return to the Yang family, even if it means being expelled from the Tianji Sect.

Yang Qiang has done enough for the family; it's time for the family to do something for him.

Yang Genshuo looked at Yang Qiang's "records" with a mixture of emotions.

"Back then, Yang Qiang left messages in the Earth's Core Region many times, but he never managed to meet with the Yang family members, nor did he receive any replies. After losing me as a link, why did the other members of the Yang family also disappear?"

"Logically speaking, the Yang family regularly goes to the Earth's Core Region to collect fire-type spiritual materials every year, so it's impossible that they didn't see it, right?"

"Something must have prevented the Yang family from entering the Earth's Core Region back then."

Yang Genshuo felt that he needed to unravel the complexities step by step and correct some of the wrong paths.

Just as he was checking the history, a strange message came through.

[Yang Zhushuang trampled and killed civilian Li Ergou without cause, resulting in a -5 point deduction from his family's merit.]

Yang Genshuo: "?"

He didn't react at first, thinking that someone else had trampled civilians to death, so why did the news get to him? Then it suddenly occurred to him that it was done by someone from the fifth generation of the Yang family.

His gaze immediately shifted to Yang Zhushuang, a dashing young man in fine clothes.

His attire was extremely ostentatious, his entire body adorned with a dazzling array of magical treasures, and he rode a large golden tiger, with several cultivators following behind to protect him. One look at him and you knew he was not someone to be trifled with.

At that moment, a woman was wailing and sobbing on top of a burly man.

"Ergou, Ergou, wake up, Ergou!"

"Hmph~ Be careful in your next life, don't block my way. My spirit beast is very sensitive, and it treated your man like an assassin."

"An assassin? He's just a mortal! How dare he disrespect an immortal? You did this on purpose! I'm going to report you to the City of Light!"

Although the woman was not very educated, she knew that when the Heavenly Dragon Army of Bright City came to recruit them, they had talked about the laws of the empire, among which the first ironclad rule was that cultivators and martial artists must not harm mortals without cause.

"Oh ho~ Sue me? Listen to this. She's going to sue me? Are you going to my dad? Or my grandma? Or should I show you the way to my uncle's? My uncle's in charge of the jail, hahaha~"

Yang Zhushuang's arrogant laughter made the woman's face turn red with anger, and she couldn't speak as she pointed at him.

When the other villagers saw her, they all pressed her to the ground.

"Quickly, kowtow to the immortal, and this matter will be over."

"Stop fooling around. The immortal must have had a reason for intervening. It's just that your man is unlucky."

"Where can we go to Bright City? Only people of high status can enter there."

Some villagers who were out hunting and transporting were well-informed and immediately realized that this was the Yang family, the Yang family that stood at the top of the Da Nai Empire.

They made all the laws.

What can I do?
It's just one life. We can't send so many living people in for the sake of a dead one, can we?

Seeing the villagers kneeling in a row, begging for his forgiveness, Yang Zhushuang clicked his tongue and said:
"Your attitude is excellent, I appreciate it. These elixirs of immortality are a reward to you!"

Yang Zhushuang threw out a handful of pills, and the villagers rushed over to grab them, quickly turning into a brawl, all for the chance to get one elixir.

Soon, the ground was covered in blood.

Seeing this ridiculous yet bloody scene, Yang Zhushuang laughed even more heartily.

He said to those around him, "Hey~ look at these people. Don't they look like a pack of dogs?"

"I can just throw some random things at them and they'll start chewing on them. Isn't that much more fun than spirit beasts?"

"Hahahaha~"

As Yang Zhushuang chatted and laughed, two more mortals were trampled to death while vying for the pills.

Yang Genshuo watched as his anger surged to the top of his head.

"This is fucking my Yang family's offspring???"
