Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 793 – Palm (1)

From the time the Bluestone Town was formed, after seventy to eighty years of development, from the original two to three hundred families having a population of less than two thousand cultivators, to now having a population of close to two thousand families witopulation of more than ten thousand cultivators, the Yang family had grown to a scale close to a thousand.

In short, the men from Madame Yang were extremely popular in the entire Mengyu County. Forget about the ones who were married to send off their daughters, there were more than one or two women from the Madame Yang beside them who were slightly capable, and even the women from Madame Yang were not worried about marrying, and there were also quite a few who came to take over their family.

To put it in an exaggeration, out of the seven to eight thousand people that had grown in Yang family over the past few decades, abouhird of them had come from wives, concubines and additional husbands.

Not to mention the various small clans, small powers, and other relatives that had formed an alliance with the rise of the Madame Yang all these years.

Of course, the real main body of the Yang family was not the over ten thousand strong tribe, but the core of the nearly one thousand Madame Yang cultivators.

Amongst the thousand or so Madame Yang cultivators, nearly eighty percent of them were at the Mortal Realm realm and less than two hundred of them had actually reached the martial arts realm realm.

But even so, the Yang family’s growth in strength was just as unbelievable, and all of this was built on the Yang family’s years of constant growth and progress.

Currently, the Yang family was filled with almost the entire Mengyu County and Huyao County. The entire Tuo Wu Shan Vein occupied a quarter of the western end and could support such a large group of cultivators, allowing them to progress even further.

Other than the area of influence he had under his control, the Yang family now had a more perfect family inheritance system than before. The disciples under the third generation could be divided into three ranks, namely the ordinary family disciples, elite disciples and core disciples, according to their cultivation potential.

Most of the cultivation techniques that ordinary disciples used were either the skills that the Yang family had accumulated over the years, or the skills that had yet to advance into the Spirit Stage passed on. If a normal disciple’s cultivation advanced to their martial arts realm, they would still have a chance to choose a Spirit Stage power from their clan’s inheritance grounds.

To be able to become an elite disciple, at least in terms of cultivation, they had to reach the level of martial arts realm. To become an elite disciple, at least in terms of cultivation, they had to reach the level of martial arts realm.

Compared to ordinary disciples, elite disciples had at least two chances to choose a Spirit Ranking Divine Art. The first time was after they advanced into the martial arts realm, and the second time was after the baleful qi realm.

Core disciples of the Yang family required a cultivation at least at the third level of martial arts realm or above. Other than a few high-grade precious rank inheritances, they could basically access most of the legacies of the Yang family and even had three or more times to choose from.

However, the internal competition in the Yang family was extremely strong, so it was normal for ordinary disciples to be considered ordinary disciples as long as they could be included in the competition. However, becoming an elite disciple was not easy at all.

Other than the hard condition that one had to have martial arts realm to become an elite disciple, the normal way to become an elite disciple was through the annual Small Competition and the Large Competition that was held every three years in Yang family.

However, Yang family’s Large and Small Competitions were much stricter, and the number of disciples they accepted were also very few. Normally, the annual Small Competition would only accept the first two elite disciples, and the Large Competition that happened every three years was comparable to the first eight places.

In other words, every three years, there would only be twelve elite disciples in the entire Yang family, and in these two years, only the Madame Yang would participate in the Small Competition, and only the Yang’s Diciples would be admitted, while every three years, the Large Competition would only allow non-Madame Yang cultivators to participate.

Every three years, from the influence of the entire Madame Yang, a total of twenty-eight outstanding cultivators from other families would be selected from the six towns and cities of the Mengyu County to participate in the Madame Yang Tournament. If someone could enter the top eight, they would be treated equally with the other Yang’s Diciples and would be groomed as the elite disciples of the family.

As for the other disciples from the other clans that were not chosen, they would also receive the treatment of being an ordinary disciple of the Yang family. In the future, they would be a vassal force of the pro-Yang family.

It could be said that the great competition between the elite cultivators in the Yang family, which was held every three years, was the biggest gathering under the control of the famous sects in the entire Madame Yang.

As for the selection of the most important Core Disciples in the Yang family, it was a lot more low-profile and secretive. Furthermore, in order to becomore Disciple, one had to go through the consent of the five core disciples in the clan. Until now, only the members of the Madame Yang and a few of the core disciples such as Yang Tiangang, were able to become a Core Disciple.

After Madame Yang and the Tan Xi Sect obtained the twelve true demon peaks’s great victory, the Yang family welcomed the grandest gathering of elite disciples in the past few decades. Furthermore, it was said that the gathering would be hosted by the patriarch of the Yang family, the Profound Constellation Realm cultivator, Spiritual Master Yang Tiangang!

Furthermore, it was said that other than Spiritual Master Yang Tiangang, it was also possible for the two Spiritual Masters Yang Junshan and the others to appear at this gathering. Even the current heirs of the Flying School, who had great fame in the cultivation world of the entire Yuzhou, the Spiritual Masters Xia Yuan, could come to the Xishan Village to challenge the Spiritual Master Jun Shan.

At that time, the cultivators who came to Wasteland Town would very likely see a battle between Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators. It was a grand occasion that most cultivators would never be able to witness in their entire lives!

The twenty-eight elites that had come from the twelve cities of Mengyu and Hu Yao counties had already arrived at the Wasteland Town and were about to compete with the fifty-three Martial Realm Cultivator s for the remaining eight elite disciples spots.

Other than these elites, a large number of spectating cultivators from the Wasteland Town came. Most of them were cultivators from the Mengyu County s and Huyao County s under the jurisdiction of the Yang family, and there were also cultivators from other regions of the Yuzhou that came when they heard the news.

The more there were, the more accidents happened. In these few days, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, the Yang family was led by elite disciples, and took turns patrolling throughout the entire Wasteland Town, day and night. In addition to that, the high order cultivator had been active in various big events in the cultivation world for a long time.

Although everything in the entire Wasteland Town was still firmly under the control of the Madame Yang, Yang Tiangang still did not dare to be careless. Other than the martial arts realm patrols led by the elite disciples of the Madame Yang on the surface, they would occasionally send out Jun Shan, Jun Ping and Jun Qi.

And on this day, Yang Junshan coincidentally had nothing to do, so on a whim, he turned and left the Xishan Village after greeting Lao Yang.

Currently, outside of the Xishan Village, all the cultivators had gathered in a bustling corridor. This year’s competition would be held once every three years, making it even more prosperous.

Yang Junshan felt that the crowd was noisy, and casually walked in a random direction. After a while, he realised that he had already walked to the side of the Qinshui, and was walking more than 10 li southeast from the Qinshui.

It was at this time that Yang Junshan suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He suddenly discovered that there was a gathering of spirit energy on the surface of the Qinshui River not too far away, and it was emitting a regular pattern of fluctuations.

“What a coincidence, someone is actually practicing a spell here!”

If Yang Junshan sensed nothing as he walked towards the place where the Spirit Qi was congregating, he would see Qinshui flowing past a bend in the road, where the river was flowing rapidly, and the Spirit Qi of the water in the air was congealing without dispersing, showing that the cultivator’s cultivation was already aigh level, and furthermore, the cultivator was standing at the bottom of the water, looking like he had endured under the impact of the water flow for a long time, it was evident that his body had been tempering itself quite well.

Yang Junshan swept the water with his spirit sense, and noticed that the cultivator was very bold, he had actually immersed himself in cultivation at the bottom of the river without any protection, if there was someone around to disturb him, even if it was jusrank, throwing a stone at the bottom of the river, it could break the atmosphere of the cultivator, and might even cause him to go berserk, so Yang Junshan decided to stay by the river to protect him.

No one knew which clan this cultivator came from, to be so careless!

Just as Yang Junshan was about to stand at the riverside, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the reeds in the distance. A voice said: “That Ding Rulan is usually trained in the water, and today, Qinshui is the only place near to her. As long as we follow along Qinshui and search, we will definitely be able to find her trace.”

At this time, another voice sounded out: “Brother Ma, is this appropriate? No matter what, Ding Rulan is also one of the two Seeds that our Wilderness Town has chosen to participate in this year’s Madame Yang’s famous elite gathering. Furthermore, her name has already been truthfully reported to the public, even if we defeat her now, she will most likely not be able to obtain the qualifications to participate in the gathering.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelFɪre.net

The voice from before said: Hmph, that Ding Rulan is extremely arrogant, as long as Brother Tang can defeat her, she will definitely withdraw from this year’s Elite Tournament. At that time, even if Brother Tang does not have the qualifications, the Village Head’s various villages will request for Yang Zhen to add your name, don’t forget, if Brother Tang has the chance to become an Elite disciple of the Madame Yang, then the entire Wilderness Town will benefit as well.

“I feel that it was done in a despicable manner, after all, Ding Rulan had already recorded the list of elites to be selected.”

“Isn’t that all because you missed the selection, Brother Tang? If you had been present at that time, would Ding Rulan still have been able to obtain one of the two spots?!”
