Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1611: Chapter 992: Immortal Hall Master (Part 2)

He could guess that it was certainly Yang Zhenshan who brought him here and provided him with a safe cultivation environment.

Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "The Tower Master is currently in seclusion!"

"Oh!" Yun Xiao wasn’t concerned and continued walking towards the hall.

"True Monarch, please take the seat!" Xuanzhen waved his hand, brought out some chairs, and placed one in the central position.

The Qi Hall was his place for cultivation, so there were no tables or chairs arranged; the hall had only a mat.

Yun Xiao glanced at the main seat and then sat in the lower position.

"This is your Dao Field; you should sit in the main seat!"

He looked at Xuanzhen with a meaningful expression.

Xuanzhen touched his nose, "With a True Monarch here, how dare I take the main seat?"

Saying so, he sat down next to Yun Xiao.

In truth, this seat was his test, to probe whether Yun Xiao would develop improper thoughts after achieving Core Formation.

However, Yun Xiao apparently saw through his test.

"Everyone, please sit down. Xuanzhen Daoist, why not introduce each of your Daoist friends to this old man!" Yun Xiao smiled.

Most of the people here he had met before, but there were a few he hadn’t met.

"Junior Yang Jizhen pays his respects to the True Monarch!" Yang Jizhen bowed in greeting.

"Yang young friend, no need for such formalities. I dare not accept your bow!" Yun Xiao stood up, speaking courteously.

Yang Jizhen, he naturally knew. His Pure White Flying Sword was refined by Yang Jizhen.

He had also seen Ma Qiuyan, Cui Yang, and Ning Yun.

"This is my fifth junior brother Zhang Hexuan, and this is my sixth junior sister and seventh junior sister Li Janning and Li Jian’an."

"This is Bai Xiaoyun, Bai Daoist, who used to be the Guest Elder of the Yang family and is now an elder of our Immortal Hall!"

"This is Li Shangyuan, Li Daoist, also an elder of our Immortal Hall!"

Yang Jizhen took the initiative to introduce.

The group once again stepped forward to greet.

After some polite exchanges, everyone sat down again.

Yun Xiao then asked, "You haven’t told me yet where this is?"

Xuanzhen looked at Yang Jizhen, who smiled and said, "This is the Yang family’s Spirit Source Grotto Heaven!"

"Grotto Heaven!" Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment and then unconsciously looked up.

Of course, he wasn’t looking at the palace ceiling but sensing the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

"It’s really a Grotto Heaven! No wonder I felt something strange earlier!"

"Your family’s Grotto Heaven? The Yang family actually has a Grotto Heaven?"

"That’s right, this is White Jade City!"

He suddenly recalled the old rumors about the Yang family.

"This place is Jade City!" Yang Jizhen said, "True Monarch, would you like to go out for a stroll?"

"That sounds good!" Yun Xiao became interested.

Immediately, everyone left Qi Hall together, flying towards Jade City.

Although Wuzhen Taoist Palace was also in Jade City, it was not located in Jade City’s core area.

The core area of Jade City is on the south side of the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, the location of Ziwei Tower and Taiwei Tower.

However, the most prosperous area of Jade City used to be the Longevity City region.

The group flew from Wuzhen Taoist Palace to the air above the disciples’ residence.

Just as they stopped, someone flew up from below.

"Jizhen, has something happened?" Qingxia asked.

Yang Jizhen quickly greeted her and said, "Aunt Qingxia, True Monarch Yunxiao has achieved Core Formation successfully!"

"Core Formation!" Qingxia was startled, then looked towards Yun Xiao, the most unfamiliar among them.

"Who is this?" Yun Xiao asked curiously.

"Aunt Qingxia is a disciple of the Yang family’s old madam!" Yang Jizhen explained.

Yun Xiao was a bit puzzled about who this old madam referred to.

But it didn’t matter, as Yu Qingyi had already noticed the situation and flew over.

"This humble self, Yu Qingyi, pays respects to the True Monarch!"

After another round of introductions, Yu Qingyi greeted Yun Xiao.

"No need, so it’s Yang Daoist’s wife. This old man greets the madam!" Yun Xiao bowed in return, his attitude extremely humble.

With his status, he naturally didn’t need to be so courteous to Yu Qingyi, but he felt it wasn’t too much to be polite.

He understood that without Yang Zhenshan’s assistance this time, he would not have been able to ingest the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, nor could he succeed in Core Formation after consuming it.

Although he had now become a Golden Core True Monarch, he never forgot Yang Zhenshan’s kindness.

Seeing this, Xuanzhen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He truly feared that Yun Xiao was a despicable person and that if Yun Xiao had ill intentions, the Spirit Source Land could be in real trouble.

However, he only loosened a bit, not completely relieved.

Yang Jizhen, on the other hand, appeared calm and unperturbed.

Later on, the group accompanied Yun Xiao on a stroll around Jade City, introducing him to the situation of the Spirit Source Land.

Once Yun Xiao understood the situation, everyone arrived at Taiwei Tower together.

Taiwei Tower is above Ziwei Tower, located below the Spiritual Spring Waterfall.

The nine-story building is about ten zhang high, with the roof only four or five zhang lower than the cliff edge of Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.

In the Immortal Hall of Taiwei Tower, Yun Xiao invited Yu Qingyi to the main seat, and Yu Qingyi did not decline, naturally sitting in the prime position.

The Spirit Source Land belongs to the Yang family; with Yang Zhenshan not present, she, as the Yang family’s first lady, holds the highest status and position.

"The True Monarch has succeeded in Core Formation. What are your plans next?" Yu Qingyi asked softly.

"Uh, I need to stabilize my cultivation. I’m unaware of Yang Daoist’s plans before he went into seclusion," Yun Xiao replied.

He didn’t know what to do now; in fact, he should stabilize his cultivation, but he still wanted to see the situation here, so he planned to stabilize it later.

Yu Qingyi glanced at Yang Jizhen, who spoke up: "If the True Monarch is willing, you can join our Spirit Source Land. Our Spirit Source Land would appoint you as Hall Master!"

"Hall Master?"

"Yes, as the Hall Master of Taiwei Tower’s Immortal Hall, a position second only to the ancestors!"

Among the Twelve Floors, Taiwei Tower holds the highest status, with the Immortal Hall, Demon Hall, and Martial Hall inside, followed by Ziwei Tower.

Yang Zhenshan holds dual roles as the Tower Master of Taiwei Tower and the master of Spirit Source Grotto Heaven.

"Alright, from now on, I am the Hall Master of the Immortal Hall!"

Yun Xiao did not hesitate and readily agreed.

Although his understanding of Spirit Source Land was still shallow, since it was Yang Zhenshan’s arrangement, he naturally would not refuse.

Seeing him agree so readily, everyone smiled.

From now on, they were family, and their relationship immediately grew closer.

They all shared their curiosity with Yun Xiao, mainly about Golden Core Cultivators.

Yun Xiao patiently explained his condition to them.

He didn’t know what differences he had compared to genuine Golden Core Cultivators, so he just discussed his feelings and experiences.

For a time, the atmosphere appeared very harmonious.

However, Yun Xiao needed to stabilize his cultivation, so after chatting with everyone for over two hours, he expressed his intention to go into seclusion.

Xuanzhen helplessly ceded his Qi Hall to him once again.

Once Xuanzhen led Yun Xiao away, Yu Qingyi appeared thoughtful.

"Ancestor, what do you think?" Yang Jizhen asked softly.

Yu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn’t be a problem; the True Monarch still remembers the master’s kindness!"

"That’s good; I was truly worried about him being ungrateful!" Yang Jizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Such worry wasn’t only Xuanzhen’s concern, but others’ concern as well.

After all, Yun Xiao was an outsider, and he was a newly achieved Golden Core Cultivator, making everyone concerned about his intentions towards the Spirit Source Land.

"Don’t relax yet; what needs guarding should still be guarded!" Yu Qingyi advised.

"Yes!" Yang Jizhen responded.

Yang Zhenshan naturally considered the possibility of issues with Yun Xiao before going into seclusion. Though he didn’t believe Yun Xiao was ungrateful, he knew the importance of being cautious.

Thus, before entering seclusion, he entrusted the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace to Yang Jizhen.

With the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace in hand, Yang Jizhen did not claim to be capable of confronting Golden Core Cultivators, but he could at least manage to some degree.

Moreover, Yun Xiao had just formed his core and his cultivation was not yet stable, so the extent of his combat power was still uncertain.

Yun Xiao continued to go into seclusion, and Spirit Source Land was not greatly affected by this; though everyone was concerned, they were not overly anxious.

Everyone continued with their tasks as usual, everything remained normal.
