My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 660 White Granary, Capital City
What seems like an insurmountable obstacle in the Qi Refining stage is nothing more than a piece of cake in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Just like the giant scorpion that Yang Zhu brought back to the mushroom world.

Three days ago, it was the tyrant of the desert oasis, but now it has been easily subdued by Master Yang.

"Ancestor, what is this thing? I can't see anything special about it. It looks no different from other poisonous insects."

While collecting [Entangled Mushrooms] to replenish the [Leap Mushroom's] power, Yang Zhu was carrying the half-dead, 3-meter-long scorpion.

"This thing doesn't look special at all, but its identity is different."

In Yang Genshuo's eyes, this giant scorpion had a character card, while those little poisonous insects didn't even deserve one.

Desert Scorpion

[Identity: Legendary Soul]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 1]

[A scorpion born in the legendary land of 'Five Gods Play' gained sentience and ascended to the status of a legendary soul after absorbing a trace of the Earth God's overflowing power. It is blessed by the Earth God, and by capturing and killing it, one can obtain a trace of the Earth God's power.]

[Abilities: Bite, tail stinger, poison implantation.]

This giant scorpion proves that the Ram World is indeed a legendary place.

Oh no, it should be called the Five Gods Playing in the World.

And they possess a special identity.

"What exactly is this earth god?"

"If I kill this scorpion in the Mushroom World, will I still receive the Earth God's blessing?"

"Won't it become ineffective if we're in different worlds? After all, many special items and abilities from legendary lands only work in that specific place."

"Lord Yang, spare its life, until we go up again."

Yang Zhu didn't understand, but he carried it out anyway.

"Ancestor, the Leap Mushroom has replenished its mushroom power. Shall we continue leaping?"

After advancing to the third level of Foundation Establishment, Master Yang dealt with these weak entangled mushrooms as easily as tearing away ivy from a wall.

All 60 twining mushrooms were caught in less than an afternoon.

"Don't rush up. Someone will be coming soon. Their cultivation level is Golden Core, so they'll definitely be able to find you. What if they're curious about you but can't find you?"

"Should we continue searching?"

"That's right! He'll most likely continue searching and gradually expand the search area until he loses patience. So we shouldn't go out now, because you can't pinpoint the location of the warp mushrooms. What if we're unlucky enough to land near that guy and get caught?"

"Our ancestor was right; I was just too impatient."

Master Yang's cultivation level has increased significantly, and he is now very interested in cultivation.

"Don't rush to practice. Your cultivation level has just been raised, and your foundation is not stable. You need to hone your abilities through practice. Do you remember those two Earth-level mushroom spirits you encountered on the way?"

"Ancestor, you're right! Now that I'm stronger, catching mushroom spirits will be much easier! I'll go right now!"

Yang Zhu descended the mountain and headed straight for the regional mushroom essence.

"A single [Wisdom Fruit] can break the deadlock. After Master Yang captures the Earth-grade Mushroom Spirit, keep the useful ones for yourself and feed the useless ones to the Leap Mushroom. I believe that after a while, the Leap Mushroom will be able to recover, and then the full power of the Immortal Mushroom will be revealed. This may be the opportunity for Master Yang to escape from here."

There are still too many and too powerful people in the Gongyang family. If it's not necessary, Yang Genshuo doesn't want Yang Zhu to live in the same world with these people all the time.

However, the question now is not whether he wants to or not, but whether the warp mushroom can escape the "Five Gods Play" world and be transported to another world.

If it's truly impossible to skip this step, Yang Keun-suk has also prepared another option.

Within the Immortal Martial Sect's domain, there are twenty dynasties.

It also floats in the void outside the Lingmiao Continent, but its structure is quite different from that of the Twelve Dynasties.

Many invasions by alien races also occurred during this period.

Fortunately, these places still cannot accommodate Nascent Soul stage cultivators moving around freely, so with the help of the Immortal Martial Sect, the Twenty Dynasties have held on until now and have not yet fallen.

The war between humans and other races is just like it was a hundred years ago, a constant back-and-forth struggle, with neither side able to completely conquer the other.

Traces of ancient immortals have also appeared here.

The sect leader of the Immortal Martial Sect issued an order forbidding his disciples from becoming enemies with the ancient immortal race.

It also said that "the resources of the Immortal Martial Sect will be used to win the favor of the ancient immortal race," providing numerous conveniences to the cultivators of the ancient immortal race.

The Immortal Martial Sect has specially designated areas for the ancient immortal cultivators to rest and live in.

They also frequently hold auctions and trade fairs to exchange goods with them.

The Immortal Martial Sect also has several treasure ships specifically for transporting disciples of the ancient immortal race, traveling between the twenty dynasties. These ships are not to be used by anyone other than cultivators of the ancient immortal race.

Thanks to these 'friendly policies,' the number of ancient immortal clan disciples in the Immortal Martial Sect is quite large.

It was much more lively than the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, where everything was neither contentious nor easily angered.

"Young Master, we've been inquiring here for three days, but we still don't know where the Gongyang family members went. Should we continue waiting?"

Yang Qiangding, leading 10 Golden Core cultivators, arrived at the Immortal Martial Sect, a place teeming with all sorts of people.

His goal was to find the members of the ancient immortal clan, the Gongyang family.

But after arriving for many days, not only have I not seen the Gongyang family member, but I have also inquired with so many cultivators from the Immortal Martial Sect and the lower dynasties, as well as other ancient immortal clans' trainees, and none of them have ever heard of a cultivator with the surname Gongyang.

“Young Master, this surname is very rare. Anyone who achieves something will definitely be remembered. It’s not like there’s no news about them at all. Is it possible that the information we received from the beginning was wrong?”

The two cultivators in Yang Qiangding's team were getting agitated.

Yang Qiangding sat casually in the teahouse, shaking his leg and shouting:
"Boss, give my two guys two pots of the finest iced strawberry tea to cool them down."

"Okay~"

The small spiritual teahouse became a gathering place for many cultivators to gather information in this chaotic place.

Yang Qiangding and his group often met here.

The two Golden Core cultivators were slightly embarrassed when they heard that Master Yang had ordered tea.

"Young Master, I was too hasty."

"But we can't just stay here, can we? If all else fails, why don't we stop wasting our time here and go to the Twentieth Dynasty? We can travel around and see what's going on. Maybe we can find some news about them?"

Yang Qiangding waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

"The source of the information is Ghost Shadow Tower. Although those people are ruthless, they are trustworthy and won't sell us false information."

"So there's no use in rushing. Just keep doing what you need to do. As long as they're still in the Twentieth Dynasty, they won't be too far away from us."

"As for searching through the Twenty Dynasties one by one, that would be too slow."

"Moreover, what we need to do now is not to find the Gongyang family members, but to find a clue that points to the Gongyang family members."

Although Yang Qiangding was young, he was the most composed among them, unhurried and always adhering to his own set of principles. Hearing this, the ten Golden Core cultivators nodded, seemingly understanding.

After finishing two pots of iced tea, feeling refreshed, Yang Qiangding clapped his hands:
"Let's get back to our work, do what we need to do, see you here tomorrow."

Just as they were about to split up to gather information, a cultivator suddenly burst into the teahouse and whispered a few words to one of the senior cultivators inside. After that, it seemed that everyone received a secret telepathic message.

For a moment, the teahouse was filled with uneasy commotion.

The teahouse owner, whose information was also readily available, immediately used his spiritual power to shout:

"Gentlemen, according to reliable sources, a legendary site has recently been discovered in the Moonrise Dynasty."

The news spread throughout the Immortal Martial Sect in an instant.

Yang Qiangding's lips curled up slightly: "We've finally waited for this. Let's go."

"Shall we go to the legendary land, young master? Aren't we going to find the Gongyang family anymore?"

"I bet if the Ram family gets the news, they'll also go to the Moonrise Dynasty."

Yang Qiangding was waiting for a grand event that could attract a large number of people to participate.

That way he can find the tail of the ram's family.

"Hopefully, the people from the Gongyang family are polite and it would be best if the matter could be resolved with money."

As Yang Fushuo's most beloved eldest son and the young master of Qidanlou, Yang Qiangding knew a simple and profound truth from a young age: a problem that can be solved with spirit stones is not a problem.

The spirit stone would allow him to have 10 Golden Core stage cultivators as bodyguards.

Soon, the group of 11 boarded the treasure ship bound for the Moonrise Dynasty.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, Qiangding needs your help."

Yang Qiangding immediately called out to the ancestor.

"I'm here, go ahead and speak."

Yang Genshuo happened to be looking at Yang Qiangding, preparing to ask about the progress.

The two of them happened to be thinking the same thing.

"Ancestor, I would like you to check if there are any members of the Gongyang family on the treasure ship?"

Yang Qiangding knew that his ancestor could see other people's names and identities, so he naturally made sure to take advantage of it.

If the Gongyang family heard about such a major event in the city, they would most likely follow him and travel there on the fastest treasure ship.

Yang Genshuo glanced at the thousands of cultivators on the ship and shook his head:

"Qiang Ding, there's no one with the surname Gongyang on this ship."

"Yes, as expected. When we arrive at the Moonrise Dynasty, I will need to trouble the Ancestor to keep an eye on whether there are any members of the Gongyang family nearby. I need to stop them before they enter the legendary land."

"no problem."

Since the Yang family in Bailiangcang merged, Yang Genshuo's sense of pressure has been greatly reduced.

They could easily spare some of their attention to Yang Qiangding's side.

Half a day later, Yang Qiangding and his group arrived at the Moonrise Dynasty.

Many cultivators have already arrived here. The earlier arrivals have even started setting up stalls, making it look like a market day.

"Take a look! This all-powerful magic weapon was specially crafted to conquer legendary lands. It can move mountains, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress monsters, command gods, pluck stars, sever rivers, destroy cities, and even open the heavens. It's the same weapon used by sword immortals! You won't regret buying it!"

"I'm offering one [Heavenly Secret Talisman], which can save your life in a critical moment. Its value is self-evident. There's only one available, and the highest bidder wins."

"Fellow Daoists who frequently visit legendary places know that many of these places prohibit bringing personal belongings into them. Therefore, it is extremely important to consume a high-quality Bigu Pill before entering. One Grade 4 Bigu Pill can last for half a year!"

"A well-trained tiger demon is incredibly strong. Having one is like having a partner who will never betray you. Produced by the Great Nai Empire, it's guaranteed to be top-notch. Only those who know what they're doing should come; those who don't shouldn't force themselves on."

The opening of the legendary land has attracted not only many cultivators who want to take a gamble, but also many cultivators who want to sell their loot.

After all, when a person enters an unknown place, what they fear most is death. Once they die, all their opportunities and savings will be for naught.

Therefore, cultivators are most generous when they make a move at this time.

That [Heavenly Secret Talisman] would normally sell for 700 mid-grade spirit stones, but today it fetched a high price of 2000 mid-grade spirit stones at auction.

The cultivators who had made the purchase seemed to have gained more confidence and went straight into this newly opened legendary land.

Nobody knows what's inside; we'll just have to go in and find out.

"I've noticed something: most of the first batch of cultivators who entered are elderly. Do you know why?"

Yang Qiangding asked the cultivators behind him with a smile.

"I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you mention it, it's true. We older folks seem to have more courage, while many young cultivators are hesitant and indecisive."

"Could it be that my resolve to follow the Dao has become even stronger?"

"Because I am about to die, there is no other way but to take a chance. Without opportunity, all that awaits them is a slow death, but by taking a gamble, they may have a chance to prolong their lives."

A Golden Core cultivator pointed it out.

Yang Qiangding nodded: "That's right. They have no choice but to go in or die.

No one can face their end without fear.

"On the contrary, young cultivators tend to overthink things. They always feel that there is still plenty of time and opportunities, but they also feel that they would be letting themselves down if they didn't do something. As a result, they spend a lot of time in hesitation."

Yang Qiangding's words struck Yang Genshuo as quite philosophical.

"This Yang Qiangding is interesting. A philosopher from the cultivation world, right?"

Yang Qiangding continued, "If I were from the Gongyang Immortal Clan, I would most likely be young people. Even if they are extremely confident in their strength, they probably wouldn't rush in headfirst. We can set up a stall selling pills and wait for them to arrive here."

"If they don't come to events of this magnitude, they've probably already left. We'll have to go and get some new intelligence."

The logic is flawless and impeccable.

Yang Genshuo agreed.

For the next week, Yang Qiangding waited there, and also sold some of the Qidanlou pills he was carrying, earning a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Cultivators came and went, but Yang Qiangding never saw the person he was waiting for.
Meanwhile, Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min's team made rapid progress, advancing triumphantly all the way.

With absolute unity, they achieved a devastating defeat of the smaller forces in Bailiangcang!
Places we dared not explore before are now being directly pushed forward.

Kill any wandering corpses, little ghosts, bandits, or monsters that aren't at the Extraordinary Phenomenon Realm or Nascent Soul Realm!

Moreover, with numerous puzzle solvers offering advice and control over demonic slaves and puppets as cushions, the main force survived; only a few unlucky puppets died during the expedition.

They seized a lot of grain along the way, which not only made up for the batches of goods that Zhong Yi had taken from some of their groups in Guangning City, but also had some left over.

After a week of forced march, towering and majestic deep red city walls appeared ahead.

The group exchanged glances and realized where they were from the flags hanging on the city wall.
"We've arrived in the capital."
