Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 998 - 580: Aftermath, City Building, and... Hidden Dangers

Chapter 998: Chapter 580: Aftermath, City Building, and... Hidden Dangers

After the battle, what was left for the Danai Empire was the remnants of the Life Divine Tree and the ruined Bright City.

The area is filled with high levels of radiation, making it unsuitable for the survival of the Human Clan.

The culprits behind all this are Liu Changqing and Feng Yi. Feng Yi has already been executed, leaving only Liu Changqing...

"The evil of the Liu Family has surpassed Feng Yi. They destroyed our city, murdered many of our citizens, soldiers, and allies, and... harmed Aunt Fuqing and Li Fan. Death... would be too merciful for him."

Yang Qiangjin held a strand of withered Blue Silver Grass in her hands, her eyes reflecting the time when the two met, got to know each other, and fought together for the Danai Empire... and she couldn’t help but tear up.

"Husband... I will make Liu Changqing pay a hundred times more than you did!"

Li Fan once held Liu Changqing in high regard, treating him as a master, but Liu Changqing exploited him... planting their Liu Family’s cultivation technique inside the Life Divine Tree to steal its power.

Li Fan forced out this power with his death, delaying Liu Changqing for a long time. Even his self-burning Blue Silver Grass tightly locked the essence of the Life Divine Tree, until it used up the last bit of spiritual power... Finally, the nuclear bomb from the ancestors sealed the deal.

[Manifestation]

"Li Fan was a man who stood tall among men... Place his memorial tablet at the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, and let him enjoy the offerings of our descendants. The Li Family will become a part of the Yang Family, and the Li descendants will be friends with the Yang Tiger descendants, enjoying the same treatment. All Yang descendants must remember... Li Fan’s contribution."

Listening to the ancestor’s voice resonating from the air, Yang Qiangjin couldn’t hold back her tears, which flowed uncontrollably.

"Husband... I... I will take good care of our children."

Yang Qiangjin placed the dried Blue Silver Grass into the coffin. It was the only proof of Li Fan’s existence in this world...

Everyone buried the Blue Silver Grass coffin on the untouched mountain of Xuanwu Academy.

This was Li Fan’s favorite place to stay.

Yang Qiangjin held Li Fan’s memorial tablet, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

"Ancestor, our ancestral hall... has been blown away. Where should we rebuild it?"

The Yang Family Ancestral Hall used to be in a large courtyard not far from the Life Divine Tree, a crucial area for Yang Family’s activities and ancestor worship, now destroyed along with Bright City.

Fortunately, Yang Shi’s remains are buried on Xuanshi Mountain, which once belonged to the Xuan Stone Sect, and were not affected; a small blessing amidst misfortune.

Bright City is destroyed, as is the Yang Family’s courtyard.

Now the ruins of Bright City are filled with radiation, and everyone needs to activate a Spiritual Power Shield to enter.

Cultivators with low cultivation can’t withstand the radiation; it’s now a death zone.

"We’ll rebuild a new city."

Yang Genshuo and Yang Qiangjing almost spoke simultaneously.

Yang Genshuo: "Qiangjing, what do you think?"

"Although Bright City is destroyed... it might not all be bad news because the city’s planning was done by my grandfather and others. Initially, it was just to develop the Devil Wind Forest, providing a resting place for cultivators of the Danai Dynasty. Gradually, it was built into a city by my grandfather, undergoing five large expansions and numerous minor modifications to become the Bright City we know today. However..."

Yang Qiangjing paused and continued, "However, from our current perspective, the layout and defense capabilities of Bright City are no longer sufficient, and there are too many security loopholes. To prevent such events from happening again... we need a better city!"

"A city that can stand the test of time."

"This city... will become the base camp for Yang Family’s great achievements."

Yang Qiangjing, with pain and determination, decided to completely rebuild a city.

Yang Genshuo also fully agreed.

"What Xiao Jing said is exactly what I wanted to say, without destruction there can be no construction!"

"Besides these, in the early stages of Bright City’s construction, we didn’t envision the establishment of power stations and signal bases. Now we need to reserve space for technological development, which not only needs strong defensive capabilities but also progress in lifestyle aspects!"

"A comprehensive metropolis integrating technology and immortal cultivation!"

These days, besides negotiating with the officials about the nuclear bomb handover, Yang Genshuo learned many real secrets through Elder Xue—some human top-notch technologies... which are rarely reported externally.

However, limited by the breakthroughs in material science... these technologies are not yet mature, needing a catalyst to drive forward.

The abundant spiritual power materials in the Immortal Cultivation World will fill this gap and rocket the technological development!

In future cooperation with the officials, Yang Genshuo will help realize these technologies, which formerly existed only in science fiction novels, using cultivator methods, and then make them available for Yang Family use.

The nuclear bomb is just a starting point... If the officials can continue cooperating, they will together create new miracles.

And all these will become the foundation of the Yang Family.

This new city will be a future city that integrates the cultures and powers of two worlds!

This plan was directly approved under the promotion of Yang Genshuo and Yang Qiangjing.

As for the specific location and design drawings, a lot of time is needed to create.

"Sister, we’ll do this slowly. Now, how should we deal with these two guys? Everyone is waiting."

Yang Qiangyou reminded.

It was his first time seeing Yang Qiangjing, praised endlessly by the ancestor. Her flawless appearance aside, her calm yet confident demeanor was uniquely captivating—an aura that made people involuntarily want to believe and follow.

Yang Qiangyou only saw this aura on one other person... his father, Yang Fu.

Especially at this time, with Yang Fu and Fujian absent, and the ancestor saying nothing, everyone awaited Yang Qiangjing’s words.

Yang Qiangjin’s sole wish is... Liu Changqing must not die so easily.

Yang Qiangjing surveyed the surroundings, pondering for a long time...

So long that Shangguan Yixin thought, like before, he might be spared, and some conditions exchanged for his freedom.

"I can work for you, we sign a contract... I’m familiar with this!"

Shangguan Yixin regretted being so hasty. If he had consistently helped the Yang Family... things might have been different now.

But he also harbored some resentment toward fate.

Who could have thought, with Yang Family seemingly at its end, a Dragon Tamer would emerge?

Even if the Book Sect dared to write this, I wouldn’t believe it!

Reality is more screwy than fiction!

Seeing Yang Qiangjing still lost in thought, Shangguan Yixin anxiously said:

"Xiao Jing... Fellow Yang cultivators, I’ve truly understood, I’m brainless. I’m not good at making decisions. Every decision I’ve made since leaving home is wrong. I need a good brain, hence this desperate move. From today... we are allies. I will have all Shangguan family’s people obey your arrangements. I believe in you, I concede."

Shangguan Yixin felt his entrustment was simply perfect.

Yang Qiangjing would prioritize interests. As long as cooperative interests outweigh separation, she would definitely choose to cooperate.

Otherwise, what’s the use of killing him?

Adding a strong enemy, what’s there to gain?

Seeing no response from the Yang Family, he continued trying to ease the tension:

"Yes, I acted rudely and was two-faced this time, but weren’t you at fault too?"

Yang Family: "?"

"If you had said earlier that the Yang Family had a Dragon Tamer, making me truly understand your Yang Family’s power, I wouldn’t have acted this way, and our relationship would be stable. As the saying goes... a weak clan has no diplomacy. By showing your strength, I’ll maintain good relations with you."

"Isn’t that right?"

"Let’s not say more, responsibility lies on both sides. Let’s each take a step back, sign a contract, and from now on, my people are your people. Together we’ll grow strong, with the Feng Family, Yang Family, and my Shangguan Family’s might... what can’t be settled? Demon Clan? They’re mere clowns!"

Shangguan Yixin had secretly taken a high-grade healing elixir, his body recovering significantly enough to stand.

"No time to delay. Trial Town is still surrounded by the Demon Clan. Let’s go rescue them together, afterward, we’ll be like family brothers."

The Yang Family was stunned.

Yang Feng directly said, "Shangguan Yixin, you have such a thick skin. If I were you... I wouldn’t manage this, but you said one thing right."

"Oh? Which one?"

"Mere clowns."

"..."

Seeing Yang Feng’s expression, Shangguan Yixin couldn’t help but want to play him a tune of "Lullaby," directly making him shut up.

But Yang Genshuo believed... a phrase Shangguan Yixin said was indeed reasonable.

"The Demon Clan surrounding Trial Town hasn’t retreated yet. We need to quickly handle things here and then help Murong Ziyuan and the others."

Only the brothers of Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect have been truly reliable, always dependable.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Qiangjing finally seemed to have reached a decision.
