Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1384: Chapter 882: True Monarch Above

Master Yun Ge saw that everyone was present, walked to the front, and said kindly, “On behalf of my master and White Cloud Immortal City, I welcome all Daoist friends to Lotus Heart Valley!”

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, and Yang Zhenshan followed suit, bewildered.

Then everyone bowed in the direction of the east, saying, “True Monarch above!”

Yang Zhenshan did not know there was such a ceremony here, but thinking about it, he understood the meaning behind it.

Since Yun Ge mentioned representing White Cloud True Monarch, it was natural for everyone to show respect to the White Cloud True Monarch, and a bow from a distance was appropriate.

After everyone was seated again, Master Yun Ge continued, “The reason I invited all Daoist friends here today is to discuss two matters with you regarding Dao Intent!”

“The first matter concerns the Yin Ghost Department of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. The Unpredictable Ghost Sect, defies the Heavenly Dao, using living people as bait, conducting blood sacrifices to refine Blood Puppets, polluting spirit veins, and bringing disaster to all beings, causing all living creatures to be in terror.”

“The Immortal Path is vast; how can we allow such evil spirits to run rampant?”

“At White Cloud Immortal City, we hope that cultivators around the world will take up the sword to eradicate evil! Slay the Blood Puppets to uphold the path of humanity, extinguish the Ghost Sect to honor the souls of the heroic, do not let evil arts sully this bright and clear world!”

Master Yun Ge spoke with righteous indignation, but Yang Zhenshan felt puzzled, as Master Yun Ge only accused the Unpredictable Ghost Sect without stating any specific measures to deal with them.

In simple terms, Master Yun Ge was just making a rally cry, without any intention of taking action against the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Yang Zhenshan discreetly observed the people from the Qingli Six Factions; their expressions were not pleasant either, but none stood up to demand a specific plan from Master Yun Ge.

Looking at this, although White Cloud Immortal City was dissatisfied with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, they did not intend to break all ties with them.

Of course, it’s not to say that Master Yun Ge’s words had no effect. At the very least, they made clear White Cloud Immortal City’s stance on the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

However, without White Cloud Immortal City taking the lead, these forces present would likely only mind their own business and not unite against the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

After pondering briefly, Yang Zhenshan understood why White Cloud Immortal City acted this way.

White Cloud Immortal City surely dislikes the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, but the sect is powerful, and White Cloud Immortal City does not dare to confront them directly, so they can only voice their complaints.

As for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect harming other forces, what does that have to do with them?

As long as the trouble doesn’t fall on them, they naturally would not provoke the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Moreover, the sphere of influence of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is east of the Wanhua Mountain Range, and White Cloud Immortal City is not afraid of them taking root and developing in the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

There’s also the fact that what the Yin Ghost Department of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is doing is not entirely without benefit to White Cloud Immortal City.

At the very least, they have now taken over Lotus Heart Valley, extending their influence into the western region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

In short, White Cloud Immortal City just doesn’t want to exert effort but wants to reap benefits.

Yang Zhenshan could see this, and others were no fools either; most likely, they also guessed this, but except for the Qingli Six Factions, no one felt discontent because of it.

As the saying goes, if the stone falls and doesn’t hit you, it’s not your concern.

As for the saying “when the lips perish, the teeth will be cold,” everyone understands the logic, but no one is willing to step forward at this time to avoid retaliation from the Yin Ghost Department.

Master Yun Ge’s gaze swept over everyone; seeing their calm expressions, his smile became even more amiable.

“The second matter concerns Lotus Heart Valley. White Cloud Immortal City definitely intends to use Lotus Heart Valley as a base to build an Immortal City in the Qingli Dynasty, Qingli Immortal City.”

“In the next hundred years, White Cloud Immortal City will gradually enhance the spirit vein rank of Qingli Immortal City until it is raised to third-stage lower grade.”

“With the initial construction of Qingli Immortal City, White Cloud Immortal City welcomes all forces to settle in. For the next three months, shops and residences in Qingli Immortal City will be sold at half price, so if you wish to purchase, you must act quickly!”

“Also, to demonstrate White Cloud Immortal City’s welcome to various forces, we will give away some shops and residences to you for free!”

As soon as these words came out, people began to discuss.

Qingli Immortal City!

Third-stage spirit vein!

This is very attractive to various forces.

Enhancing a spirit vein is very difficult, but not impossible.

Using an array and altering the earth veins, the spirit vein rank can still be improved, but this requires a lot of time and human and material resources.

Indeed, there are third-stage spirit veins in the western Yunxiao Mountain Range; both Cangyu Mountain and Hidden Sword Mountain have third-stage spirit veins.

But those places are claimed, making it difficult for others to seize them.

If White Cloud Immortal City can truly elevate the spirit vein of Lotus Heart Valley to third-stage, then the future Qingli Immortal City will surely become the largest Immortal Cultivator workshop and gathering place in the western Yunxiao Mountain Range.

At this moment, Yang Zhenshan once again marveled at the grand plans of White Cloud Immortal City while being impressed by their means of amassing wealth.

Look at them, enhancing the spirit vein rank and then selling residences and shops; isn’t this essentially developing a real estate project?

So should an investment be made in Lotus Heart Valley next? Yang Zhenshan’s answer is affirmative.

As long as the price from White Cloud Immortal City is not too outrageous, Yang Zhenshan does not mind purchasing a few residences and shops in Lotus Heart Valley.

The future is unpredictable, but the current state of Lotus Heart Valley is visible.

With the support of White Cloud Immortal City, Lotus Heart Valley will not only restore its previous prosperity but may even develop further.

Even just investing in the current Lotus Heart Valley is worthwhile, not to mention the future prospect of Qingli Immortal City as a selling point.
