My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 598 Rotten Flowers Grow on Fertile Soil
"Isn't this just a complete beast?"

Yang Keun-suk was shocked!
He only knew that after 100 years, the Yang family's merits had decreased to a negative number, but he didn't know how they had decreased!
He originally thought that the decline in family merit was caused by the fact that the Yang family members, like Yang Qiangwei, had been using the "Reverse Flow Technique" to steal souls and control puppets for many years.

All of this is understandable; sometimes, people resort to any means to gain power. Yang Genshuo isn't a perfectionist; he'll use what's necessary, as long as there's a limit.

For example, back then they needed the people from the Shangguan family, so he persuaded Yang Qiangwei to use the "Reverse Flow Technique" to enslave them.

Now that the Yang family is out of danger and seems to be doing well, there's no need to make this the only path. Besides, he really finds Yang Qiangwei's attempt at a female emperor's restoration quite distasteful.

He believed that the Yang family's rule was based on leading everyone toward a common goal, rather than using force to suppress others and make them work for them.

The road is narrow.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it; neglecting those below is the mark of an unhealthy empire.

Of course, these are all problems that Yang Genshuo will have to solve later.

There's something even more infuriating right now.

"Yang Zhushuang is just a Foundation Establishment stage kid with mediocre talent, but he has quite the air about him. Even Yang Shi didn't have such an air about him back then, bringing so many followers and taking pleasure in toying with the lives of mortals."

"Good! Very good! I'd like to see whose child this little beast is!"

Open the character card for [Yang Zhushuang].

[The son of Yang Minrui and Zhong Bixia.]

"How could Yang Minrui raise such a child?"

Zhong Bixia was definitely an outsider cultivator, and Yang Genshuo had no recollection of her, while Yang Minrui and Yang Genshuo did have some impression of her.

To talk about Yang Minrui, we have to go back 100 years.
He was a very special child in the fourth generation of the Yang family.

While the other children dared not disturb the ancestor, fearing they might say the wrong thing during ancestral worship, Yang Minrui was the one who dared to take the initiative to communicate with the ancestor, requesting the ancestor's attention and saying that he would definitely cultivate diligently to become a pillar of the family.
Yang Genshuo offered a few words of encouragement and bestowed some blessings, but didn't think much of it afterward.

"Yang Minrui is a rather outgoing kid who dares to fight for what he wants. Is he... a person?"

Yang Genshuo quite likes this kind of personality; if you want something, you go for it and create the conditions to achieve your goals.

In comparison, Yang Minke, another civil engineering senior in the fourth generation who left some impression on him, was rather dull and not good at speaking. He only knew how to practice asceticism and get things done.

"If I remember correctly, Yang Minke is the fourth oldest in the fourth generation, and Yang Minrui is the eighth oldest. They are the two most talented people besides their eldest brother, Yang Min."

Previously, apart from Yang Min, born to Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, the other fifteen children were born to Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan. Both of them had ordinary talents, and their Daoist partners were only of average talent. Most of their children also had mediocre talents.

Yang Minke and Yang Minrui were two exceptionally talented individuals, which naturally left an impression on Yang Genshuo.

"No? Yang Minrui, how did you raise your child? You used to seem quite capable and ambitious, how did you end up with such a spoiled brat?"

Yang Genshuo looked at Yang Minrui.

He was riding on a female nun and writhing wildly.

"Am I better than my brother, huh? Tell me, am I the best among the 'Min' generation? Tell me!"

The female cultivator below chimed in enthusiastically, "You're amazing! You're the most amazing! Yang Min is only fit to carry your shoes! Ahhhhhh!"

After the dragon's breath subsided, Yang Minrui lay down contentedly to the side, took out the memory stone on the wall, and examined it carefully.

A moment later, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he stroked the hair of the female cultivator beside him.

"She does have some of my sister-in-law's charm."

“Brother! How could you do such a thing to your sister-in-law? I’m going to tell your brother.”

The female cultivator, with three parts allure, three parts anger, and four parts feigned reluctance in her eyes, acted even more realistically, catching Yang Minrui's eye and starting a new round of observation.
"Sister-in-law, don't look up, I'm my brother."

Yang Genshuo, who happened to turn his gaze over, was speechless.

What plot is this?
Is Yang Minrui fantasizing about his sister-in-law?
Ah? ? ?
Yang Genshuo originally thought that Yang Zhushuang had already shown him the diversity of species, but he didn't expect there to be another expert!

His father was even more of a beast.

Each beast is more cunning than the last!
"Then I understand."

"Write them down in your little notebook."

Yang Genshuo felt that his blood pressure was a bit high.

“When I was alive, the Yang family never produced one of these things. I haven’t looked at them for 100 years. How did they all change like this?”

"The power of time, huh?"

"Has the Yang family changed now?"

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

The mental state of Yang Minrui and Yang Zhushuang likely indicates that problems have arisen within the Yang family.
Yang Genshuo never dared to look at Yang Qiangjing, the most important person in his life.

The person he once placed high hopes on was the one who had inherited modern knowledge most deeply, possessed a vast knowledge system, and was exceptionally intelligent.

Yang Genshuo believes that if he were not around, Yang Qiangjing and Yang Fu would definitely be able to support the family.

Yang Fu, needless to say, is the most stable link in the family. He is always prepared, daring to fight and win.

He was the pillar of the entire family, essentially Yang Shi's high-level successor, and the person Yang Genshuo trusted most.

Yang Qiangjing is the smartest, most talented, and most strategic person in the family. With the two of them working together, the future of the entire family is bright.

As for Yang Fujian, he at least trusts Yang Qiangjing; she is capable, decisive, and won't cause trouble.

He was a good general.

In addition, a cultivation prodigy like Yang Feng holds the position of the Yang family's highest combat strength.

Yang Genshuo felt that even if 100 years passed, the Yang family would be no worse off.

And that's exactly what he saw when he opened his eyes.

The Yang family experienced a massive population explosion, establishing three top-tier cities situated within three major dynasties, guarding the frontiers.

Apart from the fact that his merits have decreased significantly, things have basically progressed as he had originally planned.

But as he gradually paid attention to the details of each family member, he discovered that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

Out-of-control Yang Qiangwei, missing Yang Feng, Yang Qiang who has lost his sight, non-existent Yang Min'an, Yang Zhu who survives alone in another world, and the morally corrupt Yang Zhu Shuang and his son Yang Minrui.
The situation of the Yang family is not optimistic.

Yang Genshuo needs to figure out exactly how things turned out this way.

Now he needs to find Yang Qiangjing, the most key figure in the Da Nai Empire.

Danai Empire, New Light City.

If Zhenbian City is a majestic tower, then New Bright City is a vast technological world of cultivation.

Once you enter Bright City, the entire art style changes!
Exquisite formations are embedded in every corner of the city, usually invisible, but can unleash the power of a top-tier formation at any time in the event of an attack.

Yang Genshuo even saw a fifth-grade array affecting the entire city!
He didn't know how it came about, but this fifth-grade grand formation was capable of withstanding the Nascent Soul stage.

This shows just how strong the defenses are outside Bright City!

Not only the grand finale of the fifth-grade array, but also countless fourth-grade arrays in Bright City. These include not only defensive arrays, but also various spirit-gathering arrays that are interconnected, raising the concentration of spiritual energy in Bright City to several times that of the outside world.

In addition, numerous towering buildings stand within Bright City, creating a visual impact reminiscent of modern urban skyscrapers. Moreover, these dozens-of-story buildings are all constructed from spiritual materials from the cultivation world, with a wood-based base combined with various metal-based materials. They are not only natural cultivation rooms but can also be used directly as war fortresses. Even if the external array is completely destroyed, retreating into these towering buildings and opening the internal array transforms them into top-tier fortresses.

It can be described as a good thing that can be used for both military and civilian purposes; it is not only visually appealing and functional, but also capable of being used in combat.

The design is very advanced.

"This is exactly what we envisioned. It can be powered by electricity to use modern appliances and lighting, and can also be used to aid in cultivation and for defense. Even if the enemy manages to infiltrate the city again, at least we will have a place to stay."

If there had been a few of these war fortresses when Liu Changqing came in back then, it would have been a piece of cake to defend against the Liu family members. We could have easily held them off without incurring many casualties.

The deaths of hundreds of Heavenly Dragon soldiers and hundreds of demon soldiers grieved the Yang family for a long time. They were all brothers who fought alongside the Yang family to conquer the world, just like their own sons and nephews, and they died in that war.
This was also their original design intention: to prevent any possibility of intrusion.

Skyscrapers, electricity coverage, and an aura of spiritual energy—this forms the tone of the new Bright City.

In addition, there are many other lifestyle designs that imitate modern cities, which I won't go into detail about. In short, in Yang Genshuo's view, this city is the best and most successful city!
"However, upon closer inspection, something seems a bit off."

Yang Genshuo realized that if he looked closely, he would definitely find a problem.

This was the ironclad rule he discovered within a single day of waking up.

Everything seems fine on the surface, but upon closer inspection, there are problems everywhere.

"New Bright City has electricity, but most of it still uses cultivation materials to generate light, while the electricity seems to be only used in the [Thunder Pool Training Ground]."

This city has a well-developed power grid, and every household has electricity, but... it doesn't use electricity.

On the contrary, the large-scale comprehensive training ground for lightning cultivators in Bright City, the Thunder Pool Training Ground, consumes electricity generated by the power plant to supply a portion of the lightning cultivators.

A small number of wires are used for home telephones.

"Wait a minute. Why is there a landline? I didn't give Yang Qiangjing this old thing."

Yang Genshuo discovered that the city's power grid actually contained a complex and sophisticated telephone line network!

Almost every household had a landline telephone, which became the only use of the power grid for most residents of Bright City.
At that moment, Yang Qiangjing was sitting on the top floor of the complex, transmitting orders via landline.

"Where's the cell phone?"

"hiss!"

Yang Genshuo suddenly realized something.

"What phone can last 100 years? Even the Redmi K60, a once-popular cost-effective phone, can't keep up. The first phone I gave Yang Qiangjing is probably broken by now, not to mention other appliances, which I haven't even had a chance to send over yet."

Yang Genshuo recalled his thoughts before he went into seclusion.

The hydrogen bomb completely destroyed Bright City, and reconstruction would take a long time. Even with a large number of cultivators working there, it would still take several years to build the super city they wanted.

Yang Genshuo thought he would eat the [Wisdom Fruit] first, and it would take him two or three days to absorb it. Then he would check if the city was built yet. Once it was almost finished, he would send in all kinds of electrical appliances and industrial equipment.

The mobile phones and micro base stations responsible for communication are also a key component. The demon race has been driven away, and they want to achieve signal connectivity throughout the entire Da Nai Empire.

There are also some large-scale automated mechanical equipment, and the high-precision scientific instruments that Yang Qiangjing needs all need to be sent in.

As a result, Yang Genshuo didn't have time to send anything before 100 years passed.

This has led to the fact that the new Bright City, which was originally a comprehensive city combining modern and cultivation elements, has now become a modern building with only an external appearance, while in reality it is all about the cultivation world.

The electricity was useless; it could only be used to give Lei Xiu electrotherapy.

All the city's designs were rendered useless and became mere decorations.

Yang Qiangjing's landline phone... Yang Genshuo probably already knew what was going on.

I glanced at the information about landline phones in the [Records].

"When the first batch of mobile phones began to gradually break down and become ineffective, Yang Qiangjing realized that the Ancestor might not appear. She wanted to make mobile phones herself, but failed. However, based on the principles of physics, she replicated a landline telephone that relied entirely on telephone lines, replacing the mobile phone as the main means of communication in Bright City."

"That represents a technological regression of 30 years."

Yang Genshuo sighed helplessly.

However, these are not too difficult to handle. Yang Genshuo only needs to help the Yang family make up for this part during the ancestral worship ceremony a month later.

The real challenge is dealing with people.

After listening to Yang Qiangjing's various phone calls and information processing for a while, Yang Genshuo realized that she was already the boss and no longer subordinate to anyone, and that the entire empire was obviously functioning well.

"Yang Qiangjing is now the leader of the Da Nai Empire, what about Yang Fujin?"

The perspective shifts again, and we arrive at the Spirit Continent.

Yang Fujian walked alone on the road with his sword, while Yang Chang floated behind him as the two chatted idly.

"Brother Jian, we didn't find what we're looking for in the Sacred Land. Where do we go next?"

"Let's go to another legendary place."

“But we’ve been searching for so many years to find one. Isn’t this too much trouble? You look exhausted. Why don’t we find a city to rest for a while and wait for others to find one before we follow them?”

"How can I lie down if I haven't broken through to the Nirvana Realm? Let's go. I have a feeling that the next legendary land will hold what I need."

Yang Fujian looked much older, with a full beard, and he looked like a weary, ordinary swordsman, without any trace of the aura of a powerful figure.

Standing next to Yang Chang, he always looked like a bodyguard.
It should be noted that Yang Fujian is the second most handsome man in the Yang family, after Yang Qiangyou.

The word "handsome" was designed for him.

He had by then become a weathered middle-aged man.

Upon opening his character card, Yang Genshuo roughly understood what Yang Fujin was looking for.

"Yang Fujian had been at the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm for some time. He wanted to break through to the Nirvana Realm and reach a new realm where he could contend with the Nascent Soul stage. So he left the Da Nai Empire and sought an opportunity to break through on his own."

"And Yang Qiangjing then took over the entire Da Nai Empire."

I understand the logic.

That means that under Yang Qiangjing's management, two beasts appeared in the Yang family.

"This isn't really like Yang Qiangjing."

Just then, a phone call came in.

The person opposite appears to be Yang Qiangjing's subordinate.

“Master, Lady Yang Qiangyuan wants me to arrange for her grandson Yang Zhushuang to work in the Ministry of Law, but he has never studied any related majors, and I have heard that Young Master Yang Zhushuang’s reputation is not very good.”

Speak of the devil and he appears. Yang Genshuo just saw this kid, a beast who plays with ordinary people. He even wants to join the Ministry of Justice.

"If Xiao Jing finds out what you've done, she'll put you on trial and lock you up in jail for decades!"

Yang Qiangjing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Let her have her way."

Yang Genshuo: "Huh?"
