The Meeting
At Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Tianshi and Yunhua were upgrading the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation. All the Formation Masters of the Yang Household Formation Hall also took to the field at the same time, accepting their command and each taking charge of a different area, gradually raising the level of the Formation.
Because a foundation had already been laid, and with the assistance of the power of the Fourth Tier Spirit Vein, the Formation was quickly upgraded and reached the Fourth Tier level.
With the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation at its core, along with various other Defensive Formations, it forms a massive Spiritual Qi Defense System supported by Fourth Tier Spirit Veins and dozens of other Spirit Veins of various levels.
If any Nascent Soul Cultivators were to invade again, as long as their cultivation level had not reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the power of the Formation alone would be enough to suppress them on the spot, greatly enhancing the safety of the Lineage.
More than a month has passed since the Clan-Guarding Formation was upgraded.
On this day, the messenger from the Luochuan Sect arrived.
His purpose in coming here was to inform the Yang Household to send someone to Luochuan City to attend a meeting and discuss the specific plans for this Cold Tide War.
After a brief discussion with the patriarch, Yang Tianyou and his wife and Old Ancestor wife boarded the Flying Shuttle together and headed to Luochuan City.
The Third-Tier Supreme-Grade Flying Shuttle was very fast, and before long, Luochuan City came into view.
Inside the magnificent hall, sparkling pearls shone brightly. Well-known Golden Core Cultivators from Luochuan Commandery gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.
Among these people were cultivators from the Golden Core Force, such as True Person Yunxia and Seven Absolutes True Person.
There were also Rogue Cultivators like Lingfeng True Person and True Person Xuanling, who were all old acquaintances.
As soon as Yang Tianyou and his wife entered, everyone's eyes turned to them, and then they greeted them warmly.
Today, the Yang Household's strength ranks at the top among all the Golden Core Forces in Luochuan Commandery, comparable to the Seven Absolutes Sect, and even surpassing it in terms of wealth.
Other Golden Core Force have earned a considerable amount of Spirit Stones through their cooperation with the Yang Household's Purple Moon Trading Company over the years.
Under such circumstances, how could they not treat the highest levels of the Yang Household with great enthusiasm?
Moreover, in terms of strength alone, Yang Tianyou and his wife are among the most prominent figures in this hall.
Cultivators value strength above all else, which is another major reason why they express such enthusiasm.
If the attendees at this meeting were Golden Core Cultivators Golden Core the Yang Household, such as Yang Dangmo or Yang Lihe, they probably wouldn't have behaved this way.
While chatting with Daoist Friends he knew, such as True Person Yunxia and Seven Absolutes True Person, a powerful pressure soon spread out, filling the entire hall.
Sensing this familiar aura, Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately stood respectfully in place, as if to welcome them. The other Golden Core Cultivators did the same.
A moment later, True Person Beigong emerged from the right-hand passage with a gentle smile on his face, instantly winning people's favor.
"We greet True Person Beigong!" Dozens of Golden Core Cultivators bowed in unison.
True Person Beigong chuckled, his gaze sweeping across the hall, lingering particularly on Yang Tianyou and his wife for a moment, before he said, "Please, everyone, no need for such formalities, please take your seats!"
As the voice faded, an invisible force lifted everyone up.
Before long, all the Golden Core Cultivators had taken their seats.
Yang Tianyou and his wife were seated in the chief seats on the left, with True Person Beigong above them, Seven Absolutes True Person opposite them, and True Person Yunxia to their right.
"The purpose of this meeting is probably already known to everyone. With the arrival of the Cold Tide of the Jiazi Cycle, a great war with the Foreign Races is inevitable. Are you all prepared?" Master True Person Beigong gaze.
"We are willing to obey the orders of the Upper Sect!" the Golden Core cultivators said in unison once again.
True Person Beigong nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Very well, since that's the case, I won't say any more. According to the rules of previous years, the Three Counties do not need to send anyone to Luochuan Pass to participate in the battle; they only need to provide war supplies. All the major forces in the other counties must obey orders and send their capable men to Luochuan Pass to fight against the Foreign Races!"
After speaking, True Person Beigong looked at Yang Tianyou and his wife, True Person Yunxia, and Feng Yuezhi, and said gently, "In this war, the Foreign Races have amassed a force far greater than ever before. The battle at Luochuan Pass is intense, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to send too many people to support you..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou remained calm and said, "With passes like Crouching Ox Pass and Barrier Mountain Pass in place, we are capable of defending ourselves and will certainly not allow the Foreign Races to invade our Luochuan Commandery."
True Person Yunxia Feng Yuezhi nodded in agreement, without saying much. In fact, Yang Tianyou had already informed them in advance.
There's no need to be nervous about this war; the Yang Household will take care of everything.
True Person Beigong glanced at them with slight surprise. He had expected them to ask for some support, but he hadn't anticipated this reaction.
However, this is good, as he doesn't need to waste any more words. He continued, "That's excellent. Rest assured, our Immortal Dao Path has been preparing for this war for a long time and will take the initiative to launch attacks against the Foreign Races in both Mo Province and Xuan Province."
As time goes on and their advantage expands, the pressure on our side will be greatly reduced.
"At that time, Luochuan Pass will seize the opportunity to launch an attack on Iron Lion Ridge. Your side doesn't need to seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes. As long as you hold the three major passes of Lan Mountain, Crouching Ox, and Suppress Evil, everything else will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou nodded slightly, but did not inform True Person Beigong of the Yang Household's strategic plan to directly wipe out the major Foreign Races Golden Core Forces.
After comforting the Three Counties, True Person Beigong addressed all the Golden Core Cultivators, saying, "During the last Cold Tide, Devil Cultivators caused chaos, resulting in heavy losses for our Immortal Dao. In this Cold Tide War, the higher-ups have decided to first eliminate unstable factors such as the Orthodox and Demonic Paths. Each county is responsible for clearing out the Orthodox and Demonic Paths within its jurisdiction; this must be done swiftly and decisively. Do you understand?"
"We understand!!"
The Luochuan River Conference lasted for more than two hours, finalizing various details regarding the war.
For example, questions such as how many Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment each faction should contribute, how much War Resources they should contribute, and how Merits should be distributed were all determined before everyone dispersed.
Upon returning to Purple Moon County, Yang Tianyou instructed the family head Yang Dangkai, to summon the Foundation Establishment Lineage under his command.
The Yang Household also needs to hold a pre-battle meeting.
Not long after, the meeting was convened, and Yang Tianyou personally presided over it.
Sitting in the main seat, he surveyed the more than one hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators below. Although his expression was calm, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression.
Below, among the many Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Sitting at the very front were two Foundation Establishment from the Liu Household family of Qianmu Town, Liu Changsheng and Liu Siyu.
Liu Changsheng, the Old Ancestor of the Liu Household, is already over two hundred years old, and is not far from the lifespan limit of two hundred and twenty years for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
However, because he practiced Wood-Attribute Cultivation Method, his condition did not decline; he just looked much older, with wrinkles all over his face, and his former rosy complexion had disappeared.
As for Liu Siyu, over the decades, her cultivation level has reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
The reason they were able to cultivate so quickly was partly because after the marriage alliance with the Yang Household, the Liu Household received considerable support from the Purple Moon Trading Company, and their business flourished.
As she earned more and more Spirit Stones each year, she had ample Cultivation Resources and improve her cultivation level.
On the other hand, there is Liu Siyu's own talent. Her title of Fire Spirit Fairy is not for nothing. Her understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is quite profound.
In addition, he was deeply attached to his beliefs and practiced with exceptional diligence, so his cultivation went smoothly. At only seventy years old, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage.
At this moment, she was still dressed in red, with a hot figure and light makeup. Her delicate face held a touch of tenderness as she looked at Yang Tianyou, who was sitting on the stage.
She never regretted falling in love with the man in front of her.
As it turns out, her judgment was excellent; now, who doesn't know the name of the Blade Venerable Great White?
Such an outstanding man, not to mention Purple Moon County, countless female cultivators throughout Luochuan Commandery would be captivated by him. Yet, in his eyes, there was only Fairy Yunhua, and no one else could be accommodated.
Just like Liu Siyu, she couldn't accept any other man in her heart...
The falling flowers yearn for the flowing water, but the water remains indifferent. All the deep affection can only be buried deep in my heart, standing alone in the distance, watching the other slowly drift away...
