Twenty Years in the Blink of an Eye
Relying on the abundant resources gained from the Cold Tide War, the Yang Household began to enter a period of rapid development, growing stronger and more powerful every moment.
It is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that a powerful force with great vitality and potential is slowly rising in the border region of Qin Province.
During this process, Luochuan Sect was both afraid of the existence of the Eight Desolations Saber Saint and relaxed its vigilance due to the Heavenly Dao Contract. Therefore, it did not take drastic action against the Yang Household, but simply watched it grow stronger.
Needless to say, the other Golden Core Forces in Luochuan Commandery also held the Yang Household in high regard due to the existence of Ice Pool County, leading to closer cooperation between them.
Even forces like the Feng Household and the Cloudglow Sect have gradually begun to follow the Yang Household's lead in secret.
In the midst of this peaceful development, twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Above the Cangji Plateau, a Fourth-Tier High-Grade Flying Boat was flying at high speed. On the side of the Flying Boat, the Falling Star Emblem was engraved, indicating that its affiliation was the Falling Star Pavilion.
Since witnessing the potential of the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island during the war with the Lin Household twenty years ago, the Pavilion Master of Falling Star Pavilion has been ordering people to collect relevant intelligence about the Yang Household.
Purple Moon Mountain naturally came into her view.
Only then did the Pavilion Master of Falling Star Pavilion realize that the Yang Household Coiled Snake Island was merely a branch of the Purple Moon Mountain Yang Household.
"The Cold Tide War expanded our territory by thousands of miles; several Nascent Soul have emerged, demonstrating immense potential for development..."
This crucial information led the Pavilion Master of Falling Star Pavilion to decide to establish trade relations with the Purple Moon Mountain Yang Household.
She sent someone to the Yang Household on Coiled Snake Island to inform them of this matter, and the latter then reported the news back to Purple Moon Mountain.
Upon learning this, Yang Tianyou agreed without hesitation.
From then on, every year, Fourth Tier Flying Boat from the Falling Star Pavilion would land in Purple Moon City, bringing back a large quantity of the Chaotic Sea specialties and countless Northern River Region specialties.
Both parties made substantial profits from the transaction, achieving a win-win situation.
The Yang Household gained another solid and reliable partner. Relying on the continuous flow of unique resources from the Chaotic Sea, they gradually opened the doors of more and more powerful forces, further enhancing their influence in Luochuan Commandery and gradually spreading to the entire Qin Province.
Inside the Fourth Tier Flying Boat, in a spacious room by the window, a group of teenagers were playing and frolicking. They were all the new generation of the Yang Household from Coiled Snake Island.
These young people, led by Yang Xuanwu, traveled to Purple Moon Mountain on the Falling Star Pavilion's Flying Boat to pay homage to their ancestors, receive Lineage training, and participate in the family's Decennial Lineage Grand Competition.
To prevent the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island from gradually drifting apart from the main branch of Purple Moon Mountain due to the great distance.
Yang Tianyou established a rule that every young man from the Yang Household on Coiled Snake Island must live in Purple Moon Mountain for three years before the age of eighteen to receive Lineage training and instruction and to worship their ancestors.
This is to make them understand where their roots are, and that the core of their Lineage will always be Purple Moon Mountain, not Coiled Snake Island.
At this very moment, a handsome boy of about twelve or thirteen years old was peering out from the glass window at the vast, majestic plateau below, his bright eyes filled with intense curiosity.
The boy's name was Yang Yuhao, the son of Yang Xuanye. This was the first time he had seen the Eastern Continent.
Once upon a time, Yang Yuhao thought that Coiled Snake Island was the largest landmass; as he grew older, he thought that Sea Abyss Island was the largest landmass.
Only now, after witnessing the majestic and expansive Cangji Plateau and the even more boundless Eastern Continent, does the young man understand the meaning of the saying "there are mountains beyond mountains" that his elders often spoke of.
"Yuhao, what are you looking at?" A gentle voice came from behind, and Yang Xuanwu walked over with a smile on his face.
"Seventh Uncle, I'm looking at the Cangji Plateau. I've never seen anything like it since I was born," Yang Yuhao said softly, his voice still slightly childish.
"Hehe, when you grow up, you'll see a much wider world." Yang Xuanwu gently stroked the boy's soft hair and said with a smile.
Yang Yuhao turned around, his face full of curiosity, and asked, "Seventh Uncle, could you tell me more about Nineteenth Uncle? I'd like to hear more about his deeds!"
"Seventh Uncle, Seventh Uncle, I want to hear it too!"
We want to hear it too!
The boys gathered around, like little sparrows, staring wide-eyed at Yang Xuanwu.
The latter smiled faintly, sat down on the ground, and began to recount how Yang Tianyou was born with the Divine Ability Prototype when he was fifteen years old.
Like snatching teeth from a Zhao Household's grasp and seized the Dragon Valley Hall inheritance, laying the foundation for the Lineage's initial rise to power.
To avenge his brother, he relentlessly pursued and slaughtered the Darkblood Old Devil in the sky.
He infiltrated deep behind enemy lines, using his Qi Refining Foundation Establishment level to kill multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators, making great contributions to his Lineage;
Hidden in the shadows, he broke through to the Foundation Establishment, eradicated the Lineage feud, and then pursued the remaining enemies for thousands of miles, completely eliminating them in Ba Commandery.
Sweeping through the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, cleverly seizing Coiled Snake Island in the Chaotic Sea, slaying the Demon King in the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm, and annihilating the Nascent Soul Flood Dragon Purple Moon Mountain...
Although Yang Xuanwu spoke of each incident in a calm tone, the little ones listening nearby would occasionally gasp in surprise, their bright eyes filled with intense admiration.
The Flying Boat sped along and soon crossed the Cangji Plateau.
A few days later, the magnificent Purple Moon City came into view. The thick, towering city walls, the dense crowds, and the Flying Boats coming and going dazzled the young people.
Twenty years later, Purple Moon City has expanded again, and its population has increased to two million, making it the most powerful city in the Yang Household's territory.
The enormous size of the Fourth Tier Flying Boat naturally attracted the attention of many Cultivators in the city. After seeing the emblem on the Flying Boat, they immediately understood.
At the Purple Moon Restaurant, many diners peered through the windows at the Flying Boat slowly descending outside, discussing it animatedly.
"So it's the Falling Star Pavilion's Flying Boat. No wonder it's so impressive!" A slender Qi Refining cultivator said knowingly.
"Of course! They are a major power on par with the Luochuan Sect, so of course they have a grand presence!" The speaker was a large man who sat opposite the thin cultivator.
"If you ask me, the Yang Household has more influence. Look at the dozen or so Golden Core Forces in Luochuan Commandery, which one can have Fourth Tier Flying Boat landing here every year?" A young cultivator at the next table said, shaking his head.
"Who can argue with that? If you look closely, the Falling Star Pavilion, the Gold and Silver Alliance, the Sea Abyss Sect, the Eight Desolations Arena, the Spiritvoid Pavilion... quite a few major powers at the county level or above have sent Fourth Tier Flying Boats to Purple Moon City."
"Hiss... I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out. Now that I think about it, the Yang Household's connections are terrifying!"
"Otherwise, do you think the Luochuan Sect would tolerate the Yang Household's unchecked development?" The thin cultivator, his cheeks flushed and eyes raised, said meaningfully.
His companion quickly covered his mouth, put his index finger to his lips, and whispered, "Shh, it's best not to discuss these things. It's said that the Yang Household Lineage Grand Competition is approaching, and the Luochuan Sect has specially sent disciples to exchange skills. If they overhear us, wouldn't that cause more trouble..."
The thin, frail cultivator immediately snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said, "Thank you for reminding me, Daoist Friends. I misspoke. My brain has gotten muddled after just a couple of drinks..."
