My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 604 A Century of Traces
Yang Qiangjing was the same as usual today, nothing special.

She is constantly harassed by two older men and women with children, yet she continues to maintain the dignity of this empire.

"Arrange a meeting with the noble demon clan of the Demon Realm. They must give us an explanation for the vicious demon attack incident last time."

"Have Little Bear Qiqi go to the local market in the Demon Realm to buy a batch of [Demon Qi Crystals]. He's clever and good at bargaining."

"The noble demon race has become increasingly greedy; they've been getting more and more unruly lately."

After making a phone call with the front line, Yang Qiangjing had roughly completed one-tenth of the tasks that needed to be handled today.

I glanced at my schedule.
[Cultivate for one hour]

Yang Qiangjing shook her head and crossed it out with her pen.

"Definitely tomorrow."

Then she continued to deal with her countless official duties.

At times like this, Yang Qiangjing always thinks that it would be better if she were only the second or third child.

She can then focus on doing her own things instead of having to handle everything.

"Those were truly happy times, with my father and uncles supporting me, and also my great-grandfather."

The ancestor would help them make many decisions and give them clear directions. I didn't realize it when I was communicating with the ancestor often, but now that I've lost him, I know how easy it was to have him around.

Everyone is very ambitious!

Everyone believed that as long as their ancestor was alive, the Yang family would never lose!

Even after Bright City was taken away, Yang Qiangjing remained confident and continued to offer advice and strategies.

Now, she can only rely on herself.

Although Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan repeatedly offered to help her handle some of the government affairs and take on the role of administrator of the empire, Yang Qiangjing politely declined.

She felt she could still hold on.

"Although their methods are a bit naive, their children are no pushovers."

Besides matters concerning the empire, Yang Qiangjing also had family matters on her mind.

In comparison, it was her family matters that troubled her more.

The many children of the Yang family helped her firmly control the empire, bringing strong cohesion and binding the surrounding dynasties together. This was their achievement.

However, they also became a chronic problem for this empire.

When the crisis passed, many people did not have such a high level of awareness, but instead began to enjoy themselves and squander their wealth, causing a lot of damage to the Great Nai Empire.

Yang Qiangjing now wants to manage them, but she will need to put in a lot of effort.

"There wasn't a good opportunity to make a move."

drop drop~
Just as she was thinking, the phone rang.

The operator next to him said, "Master, an envoy from the Silver Land Dynasty's Zhenbian City has arrived. He says he has a message from Senior Yang Fu and requests an audience."

"Okay, I understand. Tell him to wait for me in the reception area. I'll be there in a bit."

Yang Qiangjing looked rather unwell and muttered, "Grandpa, Grandpa, are you unwilling to go home even once these days? You have to send someone to run errands just to say a few words."

"The ancestral worship ceremony is in a month, and you don't even care about it?"

Yang Qiangjing's eyes held a hint of resentment.

But after tidying up his clothes, he prepared to meet the envoy.

Just then, Yang Qiangjing suddenly trembled and looked up at the sky in disbelief!
Then, large tears rolled down my cheeks!
"Ancestor."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Ancestor, could you say one more word to me?"

Yang Qiangjing, who had always been calm and confident, became anxious and even afraid that the voice in the sky was just her hallucination when she heard it.

The Yang Qiangjing of the past would never have been like this.

Yang Genshuo was somewhat emotional.

"It's me. I'm back."

A large golden hand slowly descended from the sky, stroking Yang Qiangjing's head.

Yang Qiangjing burst into tears immediately.

"Waaaaah~ I knew you would come back!"

Time flies, and a century has passed. Yang Qiangjing heard the voice of her ancestor once again.

Overwhelmed with surprise and joy, tears welled up in his eyes. He lost all his leader's authority and became like an abandoned child who had finally found his grandfather.

"Ancestor, I have so much to say to you."

"Perfect, I have a lot of questions too."

In the long river of time, many things will change, but many things will never change.

Although 100 years have passed in the world of cultivation, Yang Qiangjing has grown from a young girl into a female leader, and her temperament has undergone tremendous changes. However, the bond between her and the ancestor has never changed.

The two are not only grandfather and grandson, but also close friends.

Only Yang Qiangjing could fully understand what Yang Genshuo was saying.

Only Yang Qiangjing could pull off that method of integrating modern science with the cultivation world.

She has accumulated a wealth of modern scientific knowledge.

Even if she loses her cell phone, she can still build a basic landline phone herself.

The two admired each other.

If Yang Genshuo were to choose the strongest or most trustworthy person from the Yang family, it might not be Yang Qiangjing. If he were to choose the person who understands him best and the person he most wants to communicate with, it would definitely be Yang Qiangjing.

Yang Genshuo used to be able to talk about anything with her.

Looking at Yang Qiangjing, who was now reserved and exhausted, Yang Genshuo felt a pang of sympathy.

"I've been away all these years. You've had a tough time."

It felt like yesterday to him, but for Yang Qiangjing, a full 100 years had passed.

Yang Qiangjing remained unmoved when others said this, but the old ancestor did.
Yang Qiangjing, who was usually taciturn, felt her tears flowing uncontrollably down her face.

"It's all what I should do."

In an instant, Yang Qiangjing said with some distress, "Ancestor, I didn't do a good job."

“You have done a very good job. I have observed the Yang family these past few days. Although there are some local problems, they have been doing very well in the overall direction. Very good.”

In fact, when Yang Genshuo first saw Yang Zhushuang and Yang Minrui, he was really angry and couldn't help but question Yang Qiangjing: How did she become the leader? How could she let her family members run wild like this?
They've ruined the Yang family's reputation!
Yang Qiangjing even agreed to let Yang Zhushuang enter the Ministry of Justice! This is utterly ridiculous!

But the anger gradually subsided after three days of observation.

Because he saw two words: balance.

Yang Minrui fantasizes about his sister-in-law, but the new equipment he's in charge of developing in the department is actually based on real ideas and is full of imagination. He doesn't stick to any fixed form, and his various mechanical creations are incredibly imaginative.

His unique "Bean Scattering Soldiers Mechanism Array" can instantly deploy the array and arrange the puppets to form an extremely powerful mechanical array. The specially made puppets are very strong, and in a battle between Golden Core cultivators, one array can turn the tide of battle!

Moreover, whether Yang Minrui was faking it or genuinely had a broad mind, he was a very approachable person who was extremely good at listening to others' opinions and was well-loved by the people.

Yang Genshuo was also greatly surprised when he observed it.

He had to admit a fact: people have two sides.

Although Yang Minrui fantasizes about his sister-in-law and is good at scheming, he is approachable, knows how to use people well, and is the most prestigious person in the fourth generation of the Yang family!
Moreover, he was quite strict in disciplining Yang Zhushuang. However, because he was often busy with social engagements and rarely went home, he was unaware that Yang Zhushuang frequently committed various despicable acts outside.

This really surprised Yang Genshuo.

After reading through the history of Yang Minrui, I finally understood the past of this fourth-generation eighth son. I can only say that he's got something special about him.

As for Yang Zhushuang, Yang Genshuo also read it thoroughly. Pure beast.

As a child, he bullied the neighbor's kids. As an adult, he roared in class and talked back to his teachers. His uncle, Yang Min, kicked him out of Xuanwu Academy. Even after leaving, he didn't cultivate properly. Instead, he spent his days gathering a few lackeys to go around causing trouble. He was a notorious beast among the fifth generation of the Yang family.

Many fifth-generation members of the Yang family do not like to play with him.

Of course, there were also a few like-minded people, and Yang Genshuo wrote them down in his little notebook.

Although Yang Qiangjing is the leader of the Da Nai Empire, she is not the head of the family. She does not want to be too ruthless to her family members. She relies on the Yang family and needs the support of the entire Yang family.

Therefore, she manages with a balanced approach, using anyone who can get things done, even if they have some bad habits.

This is the foundation upon which she, with her young body and cultivation only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, now governs the vast Da Nai Empire and unites the four surrounding dynasties.

She had to use the Yang family.

Even if there are some bad things about her, they won't pose a threat to her or the Yang family.

No matter how despicable Yang Zhushuang is, he will not harm the Yang family; instead, he will firmly uphold the ruling class of the Yang family.

This is what Yang Genshuo has observed these past few days: the way of balance.

Therefore, he was able to appear now and calmly discuss the family with Yang Qiangjing.

"Grandpa, are you alright? I've been very worried about you all these years."

Yang Qiangjing had some doubts in her eyes.

The clever girl realized around the third year that her ancestor might be in trouble.

Given the ancestor's usual meticulous care, it's impossible that she would leave the Yang family unattended for so long. However, she told the other members of the Yang family that the ancestor had told her that she was going to travel the world to comprehend the Dao of Immortality and might not be able to see them for a while.

The other members of the Yang family naturally believed it, because Yang Qiangjing had communicated with the ancestor the most.

The old ancestor was used to entrusting things to Yang Qiangjing.

This kept it a secret for a very long time.
But Yang Qiangjing knew for a fact that her ancestor must have encountered a problem.

"Hmm, very clever. I have indeed encountered some troubles in my cultivation these days."

"Is it the Immortal Path? It's a pity that Xiao Jing's knowledge is limited and she can't help you."

Yang Qiangjing felt very guilty. When the Yang family was in trouble, their ancestor always looked after them, but they couldn't help their ancestor when he encountered difficulties.
All they know is to demand from their ancestor.

Yang Genshuo felt a surge of joy.

That would be so helpful!
If I had talked to you before my promotion and you had taught me how to steadily advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, this whole mess might have been avoided.

"It's nothing, just a minor matter, it's already resolved. It's just that the flow of time is different in the Immortal Realm and here. One day in the Immortal Realm is a year here, what is only a hundred days for me is a hundred years for you!"

"Our ancestor's cultivation is boundless and profound, so there should be nothing that can stump you. It's only been a hundred years, and we are all still alive. We are relieved that you have returned."

Yang Qiangjing's concern touched Yang Genshuo deeply.

"Enough of these sentimental words. Too much has happened in the last hundred years. I haven't sorted it all out yet, but you're wrong about one thing."

"Ok?"

"Not everyone is here."

Yang Qiangjing immediately said, "Are you talking about Yang Feng?"

"It's not just him, there are many others who have gradually disappeared from my sight. But tell me about Yang Feng first, this matter is still very much related to you."

Yang Genshuo read Yang Qiangwei's "records" and discovered that Yang Feng had stepped down as the head of the Feng family 40 years ago and left the Feng family, and had never returned since.

Just by looking at Yang Qiangwei's records, Yang Genshuo still couldn't grasp the crux of the matter.

The real reason is known only to those inside the company.

The most important record that Yang Genshuo saw was
After discussing it with Yang Qiangjing, Yang Feng told Yang Qiangwei about his decision to leave the Feng family, and Yang Qiangwei did not stop him.

The inside story is perhaps only known to Yang Qiangjing.

She was probably the last person to see Yang Feng.

And that happened 40 years ago.

Yang Qiangjing naturally knew that the ancestor had the ability to trace back to the past, and she recited it as if it were a treasure trove of memories with almost no effort in recalling it:

"Back then, Yang Feng and Sister Weiwei were already estranged. Rather than forcing them to stay together awkwardly, it was better to let them each pursue their own path. Yang Feng could have already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but he had been suppressing his cultivation for Sister Weiwei's sake."

The detailed story was told by Yang Qiangjing.

The seemingly perfect couple, Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, had already developed cracks before Yang Genshuo went into seclusion.

Yang Feng did not want to use the evil arts in "Reverse Flow Technique" to enhance himself, and he was against the demonic arts of seizing souls and controlling minds. Therefore, he had been hesitant to take action against the Shangguan family's prisoners. Yang Qiangwei, however, did not hesitate and, without discussing it with Yang Feng, directly turned those people into her puppets.

That was the first time a crack appeared in their relationship.

Yang Qiangwei said she was following the advice of the ancestor and Xiao Jing, and that everything was for the sake of the family. Without those nine late-stage Golden Core musicians, they would not have been able to control the demons and have the nuclear bomb cut them off.

At the time, Yang Feng could only acquiesce, thinking it was a helpless move. However, with Yang Genshuo's departure, the rift between the two widened.

Yang Qiangwei has tasted the sweetness of success.

The six top-tier puppets were already top-tier combat power, and the feedback from the [Soul Absorption Technique] allowed her to directly break through to the Golden Core stage!
She becomes stronger on her own, and even without relying on Yang Feng, she has the strength to succeed.

So she not only controlled six puppets for a long time, but also refined the chapter on "Soul Capture" and practiced all the evil techniques in the first volume, "Reverse Flow Technique".
Yang Qiangwei said she didn't want to see Yang Feng arrested and then helplessly watch her husband wait for someone to rescue him. She wanted to become strong, as strong as Yang Feng!
When both people's cultivation levels improve simultaneously, the "Reverse Flow Technique" will also exert a more powerful effect.

Yang Qiangwei wants to become stronger, but Yang Feng opposes this method, leading to increasing conflict between them.

As time went by, Yang Qiangwei's cultivation level grew stronger and stronger, while Yang Feng gradually drifted further and further away from her.
"Until 40 years ago, Sister Vivi opened a door."

"She made a deal with the Reverse Flow Sect."
