The Return of the Lineage Members and Jinyun Temple's Scheme

With the arrival of Muyunzi, many cultivators whom Yang Tianyou had befriended in Golden Pool City also came to offer their congratulations. This group of people who had won the great victory in Golden Pool City had, to some extent, formed an alliance, with Muyunzi as their leader.

Among them were three Nascent Body Integration Cultivators from the Three Origin Hall, who all stepped forward with smiles on their faces to offer their congratulations.

The atmosphere was harmonious when suddenly a loud shout drew everyone's attention, "Master Yunchu of Jinyun Temple has arrived!!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou, along with Yunhua, stepped forward to greet them.

Before the arrival of the Yang Household, Jinyun Temple was the sole overlord of Blackstone Prefecture, boasting four Body Integration Cultivators. Among them, the strongest, Monk Yunkong, was Body Integration Middle Stage cultivator with a great reputation, even surpassing Heavenly Origin Zi, and possessed extraordinary combat power.

The establishment of the Yang Household family clan in Blackstone Prefecture will inevitably affect the development of Jinyun Temple. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, let alone Blackstone Prefecture, a region with such scarce resources.

From Jinyun Temple's perspective, why did you, Yang Tianyou, choose to come to my Blackstone Prefecture to cause trouble when there are so many other good places to go? Are you deliberately targeting me?

Therefore, Jinyun Temple had a bad attitude from the very beginning. When Yang Tianyou first arrived at Nine Refinement Mountain, Jinyun Temple didn't even send anyone to meet him. This was blatant hostility.

Now that the Yang family of Purple Moon Yang Household is holding its founding ceremony, if they don't come soon, it will be a complete falling out. Jinyun Temple doesn't want to be in such a hurry. They want to test Yang Tianyou's strength first, so they sent a Body Integration Old Ancestor with two or three disciples and some gifts to offer their congratulations.

Throughout the entire process, Monk Yunchu Chu maintained a cold expression, as if someone owed him millions of Spirit Stones. After leaving his gifts and exchanging a few brief words, he turned and left.

Watching the man's departing figure, Yang Tianyou narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

The clan founding ceremony lasted for three months.

There were Dharma assemblies for exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao, as well as fairs for exchanging treasures and duels among low-level Cultivators, making it quite lively.

After the ceremony, the cultivators departed, and the name of the Purple Moon Yang Household spread far and wide. Due to Yang Tianyou's outstanding combat prowess and extensive network of connections demonstrated in the great victory at Golden Pool City, the Purple Moon Yang Household was regarded as Lineage at the Body Integration Level by other forces and was highly valued.

In a tavern in a Perilous Land in the Sixth Heaven, a middle-aged swordsman dressed in gray, carrying a long sword and with a weathered face, was sipping wine. He overheard the storyteller mention the Purple Moon Yang Household, and his previous laziness vanished instantly. He tossed out a Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone and asked, "Tell me more about this Purple Moon Yang Household."

Upon receiving the Spirit Stone, the storyteller's eyes lit up. He was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and this Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone was an absolute treasure to him.

So the storyteller poured out everything he knew to the middle-aged man, like spilling beans.

After listening patiently, the man turned and left the tavern, transforming into a streak of sword light that traversed the heavens and earth, disappearing into the vast sky.

The Eighth Heaven, the Divine Immortal Dao Divine Martial Dao, is a powerful and influential lineage of Earth Immortals, boasting a large number of Bandit Cultivator within its ranks.

As the Martial Ancestor's Personal Disciple and the junior brother of Dao Master Tantai Ling, Yang Xuanwu held a lofty position in the entire Divine Martial Dao. He possessed an entire Ninth-Tier Spirit Vein, had countless servants, and had an abundance of resources such as Pills and Spirit Stones, making him a veritable super second-generation.

On this day, Yang Xuanwu was meditating on the cliff as usual. Amidst the rising clouds and swirling purple qi, he absorbed it. His Apertures shone like stars, making his aura appear divine and unapproachable.

A pretty maidservant trotted over and respectfully reported, "Reporting to the Old Ancestor, news has arrived from below."

Yang Xuanwu slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot straight towards the Dipper, piercing two large holes in the rolling clouds in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, the Jade Slip flew from the maid's palm and landed in his hand. A quick scan with his Divine Sense brought a wealth of information about the Purple Moon Yang Household into his mind. "Nineteenth Uncle, we've finally found you."

A smile appeared on Yang Xuanwu's lips, then vanished.

Yang Xuanwu waved for the maid to leave, then closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation. It seemed he had no intention of joining up with Yang Tianyou.

This wasn't because Yang Xuanwu wanted to break away from his Lineage; it was a strategy he had already devised in the lower realm.

As Martial Ancestor's Personal Disciple, Yang Xuanwu possesses a noble status and can easily mobilize immense power. He conceals his identity as a trump card of his Lineage, releasing it at crucial moments to achieve remarkable results.

The Cultivation World is turbulent and unpredictable; no one knows what they will encounter next. It is essential for powerful forces to hold some hidden trump cards to survive.

With the Purple Moon Yang Household's name reappearing, the Yang Household Members who had been paying close attention to related intelligence finally had a target.

Yang Tiankang, Yang Yuqi, Yang Yujin, Yang Xuangang, Yang Tianjiu, Yang Xuanyang...

Clan members gathered from all directions, like streams flowing into the sea, and the Yang Household's strength began to expand at an extremely rapid pace.

Although there are no Body Integration Cultivators on the surface, the number of Void Refinement cultivators has increased by a full forty or fifty in just thirty years.

These disciples did not all come alone; some brought their families, and some, like Yang Tianjiu, had already established their own Chamber of Commerce, which, although small in scale, were developing well.

Others brought valuable intelligence, including information on Secret Realms and unknown cave abode, which greatly enriched the Yang Household's resources.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The enemies that the clansmen had made were naturally inherited by the Yang Household.

However, the current Purple Moon Yang Household, when gathered together, is even comparable to Jinyun Temple in terms of Void Refinement combat power alone. They also secretly possess a High-Grade Spirit Treasure, the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace, to suppress the Lineage's foundation, and are not afraid of any enemies.

The Yang Household's side is thriving and developing well, but the Jinyun Temple side is gripped by fear.

What's the meaning?

Void Refinement cultivators are popping up like dumplings in a pot, one after another. Is your Lineage really only a few decades old?

In the main hall of Jinyun Temple, several Body Integration Old Ancestor with solemn expressions sat in a somewhat somber atmosphere.

"Amitabha, the Purple Moon Yang Household is developing too fiercely. I wonder what fellow disciples think we should do?" The speaker was Monk Yun Hai. He was extremely burly, with a body three zhang tall, piled with fat, and faint Buddhist patterns on his skin, appearing and disappearing, exuding a fierce and domineering aura.

"What does Junior Brother Yun Hai mean?" Yunchu Chu asked, frowning.

"Reduce their number of Void Refinement cultivators!" A red light flashed in Monk Yun Hai's eyes; he didn't look like a monk, but rather like a butcher.

"How do we do it?" Yunchu asked again.

"Several of us, fellow disciples, launched a surprise attack and killed them one by one. The Yang Household and Muyunzi have close ties, and a full-scale war would be disadvantageous to us. A slow, insidious approach, like a dull knife grinding away at flesh, is the best method!"

Upon hearing this, Yunchu was somewhat tempted, but the important matters of Jinyun Temple ultimately had to be decided by Yunkong. The monks focused their attention on Monk Yunkong.

Yunkong was a withered old monk with a faint, almost nonexistent aura, sitting there like a piece of rotten wood.

However, the other three Body Integration showed him exceptional respect. Even the arrogant and domineering Old Ancestor Yun Hai unconsciously bowed slightly in front of Yunkong to show his respect.

"Senior Brother Yunkong, what do you think of Junior Brother Yun Hai's proposal? Do you agree?" The speaker was the last Nascent Body Integration Cultivator, Monk Yunqi. Among the four Body Integration Cultivators, his cultivation was second only to Yunkong. He had already reached the peak of the Body Integration Early Stage, and his next step was to break through to the Body Integration Middle Stage.

Upon hearing Yunqi's words, Yunkong slowly turned his neck, the movement was very slow, as if his neck was about to break at any moment.

All that could be heard was Yunkong slowly saying, "No!"

The other junior disciples were puzzled, but they didn't dare to interrupt and continued to listen attentively.

Yunkong explained, "In the Battle of Jiangbei City, Grand Marshal Ji Chengwu was defeated and killed. Taking advantage of this, the Zhao Kingdom advanced its troops to the walls of Fushan City, and the border is in dire straits. Although my Blackstone Prefecture is not a strategic location, it is still a border region. Once a serious internal strife breaks out, it will inevitably attract the intervention of the imperial court."

"Therefore, we at Jinyun Temple cannot deal with the Purple Moon Yang Household."

"What can we do? The Yang Household is developing too fast. We can still deal with them now while they don't have any Nascent Body Integration Cultivators. But once that Daoist Great White breaks through, given the combat power he showed in the great victory at Golden Pool City, my Jinyun Temple will have no hope left!" Yun Hai said anxiously, even subconsciously standing up. His massive body cast a large shadow under the illumination of the night-shining pearl, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

However, the old monk Yunkong only glanced at him indifferently. Monk Yun Hai, like a child who had done something wrong, quickly put his hands together, apologized, and sat down obediently.

"If we can't make a move ourselves, then let's use their strength against them!" A terrifying glint flashed in the old monk Yunkong's murky eyes, which had been like a stagnant pool of water.

Using someone else's strength against them? The other three seemed to be deep in thought.

Yunkong flipped his hand and took out a pale yellow incense stick.

"This is the Beast-Attracting Incense. Once lit, Savage Beasts within a radius of tens of millions of miles will go berserk, rushing Beast-Attracting Incense towards its location."

Upon hearing Yunkong's explanation, Yunchu Chu's eyes lit up. "Senior Brother means..."

"Heh heh, let's see if the Purple Moon Yang Household can withstand the endless tide of Savage Beasts in the Kuanglong River!" Yunkong's voice was cold and eerie.

Yun Hai laughed heartily and flattered, "Senior Brother really knows how to handle things. With the Savage Beast tide approaching, the Purple Moon Yang Household must take the lead to protect their Mortals and other small and medium-sized forces. If they try to escape, hmph, we'll report to the Court and have their Nine Refinement Mountain fiefdom revoked."

As soon as the Beast-Attracting Incense was released, the atmosphere in the main hall became lively. Several old monks seemed to see the end of the Purple Moon Yang Household. Even the usually stern Yunkong old monk had a slight smile on his lips in this atmosphere, and he seemed to be in a very pleasant mood.

On Nine Refinement Mountain, Zhiming was lying on the ground basking in the sun when suddenly his ears twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes.

"Just as Master predicted, these monks are really not honest. This Beast-Attracting Incense is quite rare. I wonder how old man Yunkong got it?" Zhiming muttered as he floated to Yang Tianyou's side and told him about Jinyun Temple's plan in detail.

Yang Tianyou stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Yunhua, standing beside her, smiled faintly and said, "husband, since Jinyun Temple has such a plan, it saves us a lot of trouble."

"Oh? Does Madam have a good plan?" Yang Tianyou asked curiously, turning his head.

"It's not a brilliant strategy, it's just giving them a taste of their own medicine."

"I possess a Pill Formula called the Miraculous Strange Refining Unification Pills, which can enhance the effects of other Pills. Let's use this to our advantage. After the Jinyun Temple properly placed the Beast-Attracting Incense, we can move it to their vicinity and then use the Strange Refining Unification Pills to amplify its effects. Doesn't the Jinyun Temple intend to use our strength against us, letting the Savage Beast tide engulf our Yang Household? Very well, let them taste the power of the Savage Beast tide too!!"

After Yun Hua finished speaking, Yang Tianyou and Zhiming exchanged a glance and both saw pity in each other's eyes. Jinyun Temple had really asked for death, and it just so happened that it ran into Yunhua's hands.

"Alright, let's do as Madam says!" Yang Tianyou nodded slightly in agreement.

The materials for the Strange Refining Unification Pills were not difficult to find, and they were quickly gathered. Yunhua started the furnace to Alchemy and obtained three light red Pills.

After that, they kept a close eye on the movements of Jinyun Temple, preparing for action.

With Zhiming around, Yang Tianyou could not hide anything from Jinyun Temple.

He first had the Void Worm leave its remains somewhere around Jinyun Temple as a location coordinate. After Monk Yunchu secretly infiltrated the Yang Household's territory with the Beast-Attracting Incense, he and Yunhua followed it.

Nine Refinement Mountain, at the confluence of the Qingjiang River and the Kuanglong River, Yunchu Chu dived alone into the riverbed. Just as he finished setting up the Beast-Attracting Incense, a somewhat dilapidated furnace fell down on him. The raging Demon-Refining Demon-Refining Divine Fire transformed into a ferocious True Dragon, which with a gentle grab pulled him into the furnace.

Inside the Nine-Dragon Heaven-Burning Furnace, Monk Yunchu around in terror and said tremblingly, "I don't know which senior you are. If I have offended you in any way, I am willing to serve you like a dog to atone for my sins. I hope that you, senior, will forgive this humble one this time!"

"Senior? Brother Yunchu, do you still recognize me?" A clear laugh rang out, and the figures of Yang Tianyou and Yunhua appeared. On the latter's shoulder sat a Divine Qi little baby wearing a bright red bib, with big, bright eyes that sparkled. It was the Artifact Spirit of the Fencang Furnace.

"Daoist Great White? You... you... how could you be here?" Yunchu's eyes widened as a terrifying thought surged into her mind.

"What do you think?" Yang Tianyou asked with a half-smile.

"This High-Grade Spirit Treasure is yours?" Yunchu gritted her teeth, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her.

"Hey, old man, how dare you call my master by his Daoist name?" Fencang jumped up, waved his small hand, and flames transformed into a long whip that lashed out at Yunchu, leaving the latter with torn flesh.

"It really is you..." Yunchu felt a wave of despair. The strongest person in Jinyun Temple was only at the Body Integration Middle Stage. How could he possibly defeat Yang Tianyou, who possessed High-Grade Spirit Treasure? Thinking of this, he wanted to plead for mercy, but Yang Tianyou did not give him the chance. His Heavenly Eye opened, and a clear light shone out. This was the Mirror Spirit Divine Light that he had not used for a long time!
