Foundation Establishment Great Perfection

Yang Tianyou was naturally unaware of what had happened in the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm. After finishing all his current affairs, he began to concentrate on seclusion to improve his cultivation.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With the support of the Lineage's vast resources, the Lineage's strength, which was originally lost to evil spirits such as the Dwarf Child, has been largely restored.

Within two years, the Yang Household produced eight new Foundation Establishment Cultivators and thirty-eight children with Spirit Roots, injecting fresh blood into the Lineage.

Meanwhile, in the fierce clashes with the Goldwater Sect, the younger generation of the Yang Household gradually began to show their talents, with Yang Tiankang, Yang Xuanwu, Yang Xuanyang, Yang Xuanting, and others all achieving remarkable results.

Of course, with victory comes defeat. During this period, quite a few Yang Household Members perished at the hands of the disciples of the Goldwater Sect, including two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The conflict between the two sides intensified, and gradually, it became no longer under the control of the higher-ups.

The power struggle between forces is influenced by various factors, among which hatred is the most direct and also the most difficult to resolve.

There are conflicts and confrontations, but there are also cooperation and win-win situations.

Following the marriage alliance with the Feng Household, the Yang Household, leveraging the connections they had made with several Golden Core Forces in the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, sent clansmen to negotiate cooperation with them.

Finally, through Yang Tianjiu's skillful maneuvering, the Cloudglow Sect, the Wang Household, the Corpse Yin Sect, the Yi Sword Sect, and the Seven Absolutes Sect —all Golden Core Forces —established deep cooperative relationships with the Yang Household.

The relationship between the Flamefrost Sect was relatively neutral, although they did engage in some degree of cooperation.

Thus, the Yang Household's business empire and influence were gradually established throughout Luochuan Commandery, and the name of the Purple Moon Trading Company became increasingly well-known.

In addition to the great strides forward in external development, the various departments within the Lineage have also made tremendous progress.

The Gu Insect Masters of the Agriculture Hall spent two years meticulously studying the Thousand-Foot Fire-Pincer Centipede and the Mountain-Binding Spider, two Exotic Insects on the [Exotic Insect Ranking], and finally found a method to cultivate Subordinate Individuals.

Although this method was still in its infancy and imperfect in many aspects, it laid a solid foundation for the Lineage's method of cultivating Gu Insect.

Besides the Agriculture Hall, the newly built Beast Taming Hall is the fastest-growing department in the Lineage.

It relies on the Spirit Beast Hall, a precious Grotto-Heaven Law Treasure, and the numerous books and facilities contained therein for cultivating Spirit Beasts.

Under the leadership of Hall Master Yang Tianwang, the Beast Taming Hall has not only properly arranged thousands of Spirit Beasts in the past two years, but also selected and trained several special Spirit Beasts according to the needs of the Lineage.

Transporting goods, guarding Spirit Fields, tracking enemies, transmitting information... their abilities vary, but they can play a huge role in their respective fields, which has greatly alleviated the predicament of insufficient numbers of Lineage cultivators.

For example, cultivators who used to be in charge of managing the Spirit Medicine Garden can now delegate some of their work to the Cloud-Rain Beasts, giving them more time to cultivate and improve their cultivation level.

In addition, the departments of the Pill Hall, Artifact Hall, Talisman Hall, Formation Hall, and Spirit Cuisine Hall have also made great progress.

The improvement of Hundred Arts of Cultivation depends not only on the cultivator's own comprehension, but also on the supply of resources.

Just like an Alchemist, even if he has exceptional talent, how can he improve his Alchemy skills without enough spirit medicine to practice with? Does he expect to improve by dreaming?

This is why there are abundant Cultivation Resources for Alchemists and Artifact Refining Master to practice their skills, resulting in remarkable progress for the Lineage in various fields of Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

Currently, the Yang Household has four Tier 2 Alchemists, three Tier 2 Talisman Makers, five Tier 2 Formation Masters, four Tier 2 Spirit Cuisine chefs, and the most Tier 2 Artifact Refining Master, totaling eleven.

The abundant talent pool allows the Yang Household's development potential to increase at an extremely rapid pace.

In the foreseeable future, a hundred years from now, it is estimated that various Third Tier talents in the Lineage will emerge one after another like an explosion, just like they are now.

On this day, above Yang Tianyou's courtyard, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi condensed into a vortex, flowing down in wisps. A faint Blade Cry sound rang out, and all the phenomena dissipated.

Seclusion Chamber, the tall and handsome young man slowly opened his eyes. A dazzling light flashed in his pupils, and the aura of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection spread out.

Thanks to the pure Spiritual Qi fed back from his two Bonded Spirit Beasts as they broke through to the Third Tier, Yang Tianyou's cultivation reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment a year and a half ago.

He then spent a great deal of time honing his cultivation, making his Spiritual Power as clear and translucent as jade, and naturally reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

After several more months of cultivation, Yang Tianyou's Spiritual Power cultivation had reached its limit; the only way forward was to break through to the Golden Core.

However, there are still three years left, which will be the day when the Four Symbols Nine Trials open, a time he has been waiting for for twenty-one years. How could Yang Tianyou possibly choose to break through?

Therefore, for the next three years, he will focus on Blade Dao training, striving to achieve Major-Completion Blade Intent and then further improve it to see if he can reach the threshold of Perfected Blade Intent.

Furthermore, some time should be allocated to comprehending the Star Dao and the Metal Element Dao. Although the three Ways of Dao of Heaven and Earth cannot be pursued simultaneously, the other two should not be too far behind, otherwise some problems may arise when condensing the Great White Spirit Body in the future.

"There are only three years left until the opening of the Four Symbols Nine Trials. The Chaotic Sea is too far from Dragon Valley County, and the entrance to the Four Symbols Sect's Secret Realm is located in the very center of the Chaotic Sea. We need to set off early..."

While pondering, Yang Tianyou stood up and stepped out of the Seclusion Chamber.

Upon arriving at the Purple Moon Mountain, the Old Ancestor was busy in the Spirit Medicine Garden, holding a small copper pot from which clear, special Spirit Liquid flowed, watering the roots of the spirit medicine.

Upon seeing Yang Tianyou arrive, Yang Haoyu smiled slightly and put down the copper kettle in his hand. "Your cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?"

"Yes!" Yang Tianyou nodded.

"So you've come here this time to set off for the Chaotic Sea?"

"Yes, there are only three years left until the Chaotic Sea opens. I think it would be good for me to go there sooner and find out what's going on!"

"Furthermore, if our Lineage wants to develop, we must continuously expand outwards. The Chaotic Sea is the largest gray area in the Lu Wu Realm, where we can gather all kinds of intelligence from the Southern Sea."

"My plan is to send some of the Shadow Hall cultivators with me to the Chaotic Sea to establish a secret base, preparing for future expansion of the Lineage!"

Send men to the Chaotic Sea...

Yang Haoyu stood with her hands behind her back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. After a moment, she nodded. "I will inform Dang Long about this matter and have him arrange for thirty Shadow Hall cultivators to secretly accompany you to the Chaotic Sea."

"Besides the Shadow Hall, I also want to bring a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Lineage along, firstly for training, and secondly to broaden their horizons."

"The stage in Dragon Valley County is ultimately too small. The future of the Lineage is in the hands of the younger generation. Let them go out and see more of the world, broaden their horizons, which will greatly benefit their future cultivation and also contribute to the stable development of the Lineage!" Yang Tianyou suggested again.

"Who do you want to bring?" Yang Haoyu asked thoughtfully.

"Yang Qiongchuan, the twelfth uncle of the Qiong Generation; Yang Tianxue, the Fourth Sister of the Tian Generation; Yang Tiankang, the Sixth Brother of the Tian generation; Yang Xuanyang and Yang Xuanwu of the Xuan Generation —that's all!"

"Five Foundation Establishment Cultivators... Alright, let them accompany you to the Chaotic Sea. You're right, a strategic perspective can't be cultivated by simply studying behind closed doors."

"The spirit of Cultivators is also related to the vast world they have seen. It is indeed very beneficial to let the younger generation go out and explore more."

"However, your trip is to attend a grand event that will affect a large part of the Lu Wu Realm. There will be all sorts of people there, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators will be as numerous as carp crossing a river. You must not be careless and must be very careful in your actions," Yang Haoyu reminded him with concern.

"Grandson understands, please rest assured, Old Ancestor!"
