My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 621 The Ancestor Appears
Yang Qiangjing has now left everyone confused.

Who are you asking?

Whether or not to start is not up to you.

Wasn't our ancestor always our pillar of support?

Why wait for him to participate in major decisions?

Many people didn't understand, but they didn't say much. After all, you have to put up with your boss, no matter how inexplicable he is.

This is a basic quality of an excellent employee.

On the day of ancestor worship, no one would dare to provoke Yang Qiangjing.

At this moment, Yang Minrui, with his exceptionally keen eyesight, seemed to sense something was amiss. He recalled that Yang Qiangjing had specifically instructed everyone to come yesterday, saying that there was an important announcement to be made today.

His mind, honed by decades of political experience, began to work at lightning speed!
'As the leader of an empire, my aunt never speaks nonsense; there must be a deeper meaning behind her saying this.'

"Next, we'll discuss the slots for the legendary lands. The four dynasties have been distributing them equally for years. With so many people here, the competition is fierce every year. Could it be..."

'Could it be that Auntie is planning a divine right of kings? Is she falsely claiming to be acting on the ancestor's orders to take more of our spots?'

His eyes lit up, as if he had deduced the truth.

'Hiss... As expected of my aunt, she's definitely on par with me in terms of strategy.'

Yang Minrui had already imagined what would happen next, and a faint smile played on his lips.

The people surrounding him were confused, glancing at Yang Qiangjing and then at Yang Minrui.

"Mynah, what's wrong? Do you have any news?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Auntie is about to say that she has received a message from the Ancestor."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Qiangjing addressed the crowd below:

"The reason why everyone must come today, no matter what, is because I received a message from the Ancestor a few days ago."

Wow~~~
There was an uproar below.

Yang Qiangjin and Yang Qiangwei also looked at her, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Jing, has the Ancestor returned?"

"Where is our ancestor? Will he still speak to us?"

Both sisters habitually looked up at the sky, hoping to see the golden lettering that had been absent for a century.

Yang Minrui chuckled:
"See? Everything is just as I said."

His people all praised him, saying, "Brother Ba's information is indeed one step ahead!"

"But speaking of which, has the Ancestor really returned? What does the Ancestor look like? I heard that the Ancestor can bless children and make them more gifted. My wife is newly pregnant. Can we ask the Ancestor for a blessing now?"

"That's just a legend, who's actually seen it?"

“My mother said that I was born after the ancestor bestowed a blessing upon me.”

"Then your talent is just average."

"Uh, better than our parents."

Most of the fourth generation are children of Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan. Their talents are not too good, but not too bad either. Most of them have three spiritual roots, and a few have four spiritual roots, such as Yang Minrui and Yang Minke. These two are the most talented in the fourth generation, both being geniuses with two spiritual roots.

Overall, he is definitely much stronger than Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan, two low-level cultivators with four spiritual roots.

Yang Minrui smiled but remained silent.

"Let's wait and see. I guess the ancestor is probably only mentioned in Aunt's words. But we must believe him, we must believe him. Only by believing him can we maximize our benefits."

The others nodded, seemingly understanding.

Although I don't understand it, I feel it's impressive.

Yang Minrui often gave them that feeling.

This is also the main reason why they follow Yang Minrui.

As for Yang Minke, he was simply excited!

"Ancestor is back! Ancestor, can you hear me? When I was a child, you praised me and blessed me when I was cultivating."

No one replied.
Yang Minke was somewhat disappointed. He looked at Yang Qiangjing, wondering what his aunt meant by this.

Others were also discussing it.

Those of Yang Min and the others who had heard the ancestor's teachings naturally believed it and wanted to know if it was true.

Most of the people present today have never heard the ancestor speak and have been in a state of doubt.
Some even believe that the ancestor never existed at all.

All living beings have their own characteristics.

Meanwhile, Yang Genshuo, who was observing at the time, was shocked to discover a huge misconception!

"Wrong, wrong. Everything is wrong. There's a problem with my statistics."

His previous calculations showed that a hundred years later, the Yang family would have 105 more members than before.

Ninety of them are descendants of Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan's families.

There are only 15 children in Li Minsi's lineage and other families.

Yang Genshuo originally thought that the Yang family had many more people than before, and he was quite satisfied with the result.

Regardless of the quality, at least the quantity has increased.

And there are indeed quite a few promising talents.

One of them, Yang Zhu, whose origins are completely unknown, is a true prodigy with extraordinary talent.

Although we still don't know whose child his father, Yang Min'an, is, having more children is definitely not a bad thing.

Although Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan lacked great talent, they were adept at getting married and having children, a skill that no one in the Yang family's more than two hundred years of history could match.

"But I still underestimated the two of you."

Well, the 105 newcomers that Yang Genshuo saw were the Yang family members he could see.

The vast majority are fourth and fifth generation.

The only third generation is the son born to Yang Fushuo, who cheated on his teacher.

But Yang Genshuo forgot one thing: what about the Yang family members who weren't even in his sights?
What about some of the Yang family descendants who have no faith at all?
Among the people he saw, some were good, some were bad, and some were complete scoundrels.

But there's another group of people he can't see!
The new generation of the Yang family consists of more than 105 people!
At today's ancestral worship ceremony, Yang Genshuo saw many more members of the Yang family who lacked vision!
When they heard that Yang Qiangjing had received a message from the ancestor, they all looked incredulous and showed no respect for the ancestor whatsoever.

"What? Are you pretending again? If you were, you would have shown up already."

"If making offerings to the ancestor were useful, I wouldn't have been ambushed by the demon race and lost an arm back then!"

"Look at them, they actually believe it exists, they're all idiots."

"The older people are, the more likely they are to believe in gods and ghosts. We cultivators rely entirely on ourselves for our cultivation, so why would we need to pray to gods and Buddhas!"

"If he shows up today, I'll use [Sea Devouring Technique] to suck the public toilet dry!"

These people had absolutely no concept of the ancestor and simply believed it to be fake. They were absolutely convinced of it.

So they have absolutely no faith, and Yang Genshuo can't see them!
There are quite a few of these people; Yang Genshuo can see 52 of them here.

In other words, the number of people in the Yang family increased by not just 105, but 157 over the past 100 years!
"Managing the family, managing the family. I always thought that dealing with scum like Yang Zhushuang would be enough, but I didn't realize that it's these people who really need to be dealt with. If I can't see their vision, then I'll be completely blind."

Yang Genshuo observed it carefully.
Most of these people have one thing in common.

They are the fourth generation of the Yang family, descendants of the fifteenth son, and their own children.

"I see. I understand now."

"The fifteenth son was the last child I blessed. I was still alive at that time and saw him. The children born after I went into seclusion never existed from the time they could remember. Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan didn't know how to teach children. So these people had a very weak concept of me, and their children had absolutely no teachings about the ancestor."

This is a group that Yang Genshuo had previously overlooked.

A tradition can be broken in just two generations.

"Looks like I'll have to make a big splash today. My return must be remembered by everyone, and make even the doubters start to believe!"

Yang Genshuo is going to rebuild his faith today!

He wants to become the ancestor of the Yang family again and receive offerings from the Yang family once more!
Today is the day!
Yang Qiangjing has prepared a grand ceremony for him, which will begin soon.

"It's a pity Yang Fu couldn't come, otherwise today would have been even more perfect."

Yang Fu cannot move at the moment. If he makes a move, it will cause this space to tear apart, and at that time, he will have to leave the Twelve Dynasties.

If Yang Fu really has to take action, he only has one chance.

He is the Yang family's biggest trump card. Within the Twelve Dynasties, Yang Fu's Nascent Soul power can directly suppress everything without any logic.

After he facilitated the conversation between Yang Qiangjing and Yang Fu that day, the three of them reached a consensus.

Yang Fu will use this move when the Yang family faces a life-or-death crisis or a major opportunity.

When that day comes, Yang Fu will go to the Lingmiao Continent and may never return.

After waiting for everyone to calm down for a while, Yang Qiangjing remained unhurried, a faint smile on her face.

"The Ancestor has really returned?"

Yang Qiangwei was observant, and she knew that this was Yang Qiangjing's extremely confident state. Then, Yang Qiangwei narrowed her eyes slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Some people are already getting impatient.

"Hurry up, the progress this year is too slow. We're going on a spring outing later."

"Yes, we have an appointment, and it's almost time."

"I think they'll talk for a while longer. Anyway, it's not our business. Should we head out first?"

Yang Zhu and her younger siblings said this.

One of the young male cultivators, who had no faith whatsoever, was named Yang Zhudang. He was the one who had just mentioned using the [Sea Devouring Technique]. He was a water-type cultivator with exceptional talent. He possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root, a rare combination of Heavenly, Earthly, and Mortal talents, all of which were related to the water element. In the past, he would have been considered one of the Yang family's main prodigies and a key talent for cultivation.

He kept urging Yang Zhu to leave quickly.

"It's all just a charade. I've known it since I was a kid. Every year they say the ancestor might see it. How many years has it been? Today is the big day we predicted. If we miss this opportunity, wouldn't we be at a huge loss? Let's go, they're looking at Grandma Jing right now, so no one's watching us."

The other three nodded in agreement.

“What my brother said is right. Such an opportunity is hard to come by. Even if the ancestor knew, he wouldn’t blame us.”

“The competition for family resources is fierce now. If we can’t make something of ourselves, we won’t have any status in the future. The spots in the legendary land are not for us at all.”

"They're going to divide up the spots for the Legendary Land next, why are we listening to that, sis?"

Yang Zhu listened to what the four of them were saying, and glanced up. She noticed that her father, Yang Minke, was excitedly waiting for Yang Qiangjing to continue, and had no time to pay attention to her.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Zhu quietly left with four people.

With over a hundred descendants of the Yang family and a large number of collateral relatives, nothing unusual would be noticeable without careful searching.
Yang Qiangjing noticed this, and she frowned slightly, as if she wanted to call them back.

The old ancestor's voice came from beside his ear.

"No need to call them, they have important business to attend to; this is just a small opportunity."

The girl named Yang Zhuxin is right. If the ancestor knew, he wouldn't blame them; instead, he would appreciate them.

"To diligently seek opportunities and secure one's future is simply what a cultivator should do."

He helped others achieve their goals.

"Yang Zhu and the others have set off, let's follow them!"

"There's definitely something fishy about that parchment they found before; they've been keeping it hidden from us."

"Luckily, I was more skilled. My father retrieved a [Heavenly Secret Talisman] from the treasury and figured out their plan. Otherwise, they would have really snatched the opportunity away."

"That should have been half of us all along! That old hag Yang Zhu wants to take it all for herself, she's not worthy of being called a woman!"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; today we'll outmaneuver them!"

Yang Zhushuang, along with four fifth-generation brothers from the Yang family, quietly followed. As they passed outside the ancestral hall, Yang Zhushuang pointed at a few people with his chin, looking at Yang Hu and the collateral descendants of the Li family.

"You, you... and you, all ten of you come with me."

They were all cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage, much stronger than the five of them. If this were a normal era, they would probably have slapped Yang Zhu so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

But this is the Yang family.

Yang Zhushuang is a direct descendant of the Yang family and the son of Yang Minrui, the fourth generation who currently holds the highest position in the empire.

To the collateral relatives, his words were the master's orders, which they had to obey!
The elders all nodded in agreement, allowing their children to follow Yang Zhushuang.

When the main family recruits, how can the collateral branches disobey?
Yang Zhushuang was prepared; after affixing high-grade [Invisibility Talismans] to all of them, the group of 15 followed Yang Zhushuang away.
"Huh? What's he going to do?"

As a junior student whom Yang Genshuo was paying close attention to, Yang Zhushuang's actions quickly caught Yang Genshuo's attention.

Yang Zhu and the others encountered an opportunity that started today, but Yang Genshuo didn't know exactly what it was. However, Yang Zhushuang had actually sent so many people to follow Yang Zhu, and judging from what they were saying, it definitely wasn't anything good.

Especially since he brought so many people, their fighting power completely overwhelmed Yang Zhu and her group of five.

Yang Genshuo frowned as he recalled Yang Zhushuang's ruthless and bloodthirsty acts.

"No, we can't let him ruin Yang Zhu and the others' opportunity."

"Xiao Jing, you..."

Just as he was about to have Yang Qiangjing call people to bring Yang Zhushuang and the others back.

"Ancestor, please show yourself!"

At that moment, Yang Qiangjing's voice came through!
Yang Qiangjing had already paved the way for him; now, it was time for the ancestor to appear.

Everyone stared intently at the sky, hoping that the mysterious golden letter would appear again!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Genshuo had no choice but to swallow his words for the time being.
[A miracle]

"Kids, I'm back!"

Seven words floated across the sky, and the entire Yang family was in an uproar!
