Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 471 – Wing

Since Lao Yang had already announced his return, then Yang Junshan naturally wished to become the person in charge of this operation. After returning to the Western Mountain, he didn’t even bother with matters regarding the Wasteland Town, and directly went into closed-door training to begin his cultivation.

There were still three months until the Adept Qing Shu’s Tiangang Banquet, so Yang Junshan actually wanted to use this time to train properly. Just like what the bear demon said during the battle, Yang Junshan had indeed already advanced to the realms of life and had condensed the original Nine Innate True Handle in his dantian. However, the reality was that the spirit energy in his body had yet to completely transform into the astral energy.

When a cultivator condenses his first strand of True Divine Force in his dantian, it can be considered as having advanced into the realms of life, and the entire first level of Astral Transformation Realm in the realms of life, is actually the process of transforming all the spiritual energy in the body into True Essence Qi after the birth of the first strand of True Divine Force.

With his newly advanced Astral Transformation Realm, he could easily defeat a second stage True Demon cultivator, who was merely at a disadvantage. If he were to transform a large portion of the True Divine Spirit Qi in his body, or even all of it, would he be able to gain the upper hand when facing this bear demon, and might even be able to defeat it by himself?

Yang Junshan held in his hand a Spirit Sealing Bottle that was made of spirit jade. This kind of Spirit Sealing Bottle was originally valuable, and if used to make a Spirit Sealing Bottle, it would be even more precious. However, inside such a jade bottle, waill the size of a longan.

There were less than thirty of these Spirit Sealing Bottles in the Yang family. According to the number of bullets sealed within each Spirit Sealing Bottle, there were only less than thirty of these pills in the entire Yang family.

And the pellet Yang Junshan poured out from the Spirit Sealing Bottle was called the Astral Transforming Pill, a low-grade precious pill that cultivators who had just advanced into the realms of life often used. Its direct function was to assist cultivators in speeding up the process of converting their True Essence astral energy.

This kind of Gale Pellet, was nothing special in the Yang family. In the Yang family, there were less than thirty pellets, a total of six of them, almost a fifth of the total.

The moment the precious pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a surging torrent that flowed through his entire body, causing the circulation speed of the true essence in his body to double. The rate at which the spirit energy in his dantian condensed into true essence astral energy suddenly accelerated, and an endless flow of true essence condensed in his dantian.

However, the condensation of the True Divine Light was extremely slow, and even with the assistance of the Gale Pellet, Yang Junshan would usually need to circulate the Art of Nine Revolving Mountain several hundred times in his body before being able to condense one pellet.

Even so, this pellet still supported Yang Junshan’s cultivation for three months. When he was about to come out from closed door cultivation on the eve of the Heavenly Dipper Banquet, he had already transformed nearly half of the spirit energy in his body into the Nine Flying True Handle.

This speed could be said to be extremely fast, but Yang Junshan knew that this was not only because of the Gale Pellet, but also because the speed at which the cultivators gathered at the early stages of the realms of life was extremely fast. This was because of the profound strength the cultivators accumulated, and also because of the cultivation techniques they cultivated, but that was all.

No matter what, these three months of cultivation had an obvious increase in Yang Junshan’s own strength. The more True Divine Art that was converted in his body, the more powerful the spell that would be used would be. Yang Junshan thought to himself, if he were to meet that Demonic Bear, their fight would at least be on par.

Leaving the seclusion chamber, looking down from the west mountain, one could see the Xishan Village villagers, under the command of the Madame Yang clansmen, and also bustling within a radius of five miles with the west mountain as the center. Carts after carts of supplies were transported down the mountain from the west mountain, but they were placed in different directions and locations of the Xishan Village, and then, under the command of a Madame Yang clansman who held a blueprint, different spirit materials were placed in different positions, either to be buried, or strengthened.

Thanks to the previous west exploration of the surrounding terrain environment of the Western Mountain, Yang Junshan had long since completed his deductions of the entire array layout of the Five Elements Lightning Light’s treasure formation.

Although Yang Junshan levelling up the original Five Elements Lightning Light Circle this time would allow him to save as much material resources as possible, but it was naturally impossible for Yang Junshan to do it alone.

Therefore, Yang Junshan gave them different blueprints for the simple parts of the array. Every Madame Yang clansman only had a very small portion of the array blueprint, which could greatly shorten the time for setting up the array.

Furthermore, the blueprints that every clan member had were all the shallowest of items, furthermore, they were all different. Even if all the scattered blueprints were gathered, it would not have any substantial impact on the array, thus, Yang Junshan was not afraid of these items leaking out.

However, even with the help of the entire Madame Yang, if everything went well, the great formation would most likely be set up successfully in three to five years.

The only pity was that without the Five Elements Lightning Light Gem, the Five Elements Lightning Light Spirit Formation that was supporting the village was activated with a Five Elements Crystal that had already consumed more than half of its source energy. Although Yang Junshan still had a Five Elements Crystal in his hand, the Five Elements Crystal did not contain the essence of lightning, so it was naturally unable to unleash its full power.

In Yang Junshan’s opinion, for the current village protection formation to be able to only use eighty percent of its original power was already pretty good. But once the Five Elements Lightning Light Treasure Formation was set up, the power of the village protection formation would greatly increase.

It seemed that he had to think of a way to obtain a batch of Five Elements Crystal, preferably a Five Elements Lightning Light Gem. However, that item was even rarer than the Five Elements Crystal.

He did not know what kind of attainment Ouyang Xulin had now, but once he advanced to the realms of life, he would definitely be able to become a Master Refiner. Perhaps, he should seek his help.

Yang Junshan estimated that there were still three days until the Heavenly Dipper Grand Banquet. After choosing two decent treasures as gifts, Yang Junshan bid farewell to Lao Yang, who was still in Wasteland Town, and headed towards the direction of Jinyu County.

However, what Yang Junshan did not know was that the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Heavenly Dipper Banquet this time around was not as simple as it seemed.

The flying shuttle under Yang Junshan’s feet was still the same low grade flying magic tool that he had obtained from him back then. However, Yang Junshan was now the Adept Realm Cultivator, so he was able to circulate the True Divine Art slightly.

In the past when he was at the martial arts realm, although Yang Junshan could also use his flying magic tool to fly for a short distance, this method of escaping which used a lot of Spirit Qi would usually only be used when cultivators were running for their lives.

Wasteland Town was close to the Jinyu County to begin with, so it would not take long for them to arrive at the magnetic field villa.

Ten-odd years ago, the scene of him taking advantage of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s annihilation to sneak into the Primary Magnetic Mountain was still fresh in his mind. However, the current Primary Magnetic Mountain had already changed greatly in appearance.

The dense spirit energy, the verdant and vibrant forest, the great formation with bright lights, the entire huge magnetic mountain had already been rebuilt intuge fortress by the Heaven-Shaken Sect. It might not be comparable to the Heaven-Shaking Peak, but compared to the other sects in the Yuzhou, other than the majestic atmosphere, which could not be revealed after a few years of operation, the rest were not lacking at all. This caused people to sigh in admiration at the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s heritage.

“Is it Western Mountain Taoist Yang in front of us?”

A gentle voice pierced the air and slowly sounded out by Yang Junshan’s ear.

Yang Junshan stopped outside of the magnetic mountain, turned around, and looked up into the sky. A flash of light could be seen, and then, a young cultivator, whose feet were on a flying sword, had already arrived several tens of meters in front of him.

The man also stopped to hover in mid air. Seeing Yang Junshan, he cupped his hands and laughed: “So it is Brother Yang. Brother Yang, are you here to participate in the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Heavenly Dipper Banquet?”

The person who came here was the head disciple of the Jade Sword Sect who obstructed him and Yan Qinxi outside the Yu Cheng in order to explore the ruins of Heaven-Shaking Peak with them. Currently, Ying Leishang was surrounded by the cold aura of the sword, as though she had already advanced to the realms of life.

Towards Ying Leishang’s familiar tone, Yang Junshan only smiled faintly and said: “Brother Ying Wu is so fast, is it not the top five sword escape technique you’re using?”

“Hahaha,” Ying Leishang laughed, and said: “Earlier, I saw a person flying far behind me, but his back was extremely similar to Brother Yang, and never thought that it really was Brother Yang. Brother Yang who rose to the top as a disciple of a sect, killing a bunch of bears and chasing a bunch of Demonic Bears, this battle record is not something that we admire.”

Yang Junshan continued to laugh: “Brother Ying Wu, you flatter me, killing Xiong Mantao is only using the power of the formation, and expelling the Demonic Bear was also done in by us two, I am lucky enough to advance to realms of life, how can I compare with a genius like you?”

Yang Junshan paused for a moment, and then said: “I am here precisely for the Adept Qing Shu’s Tiangang Banquet, but I didn’t expect that Brother Sheng would also return.”

Ying Leishang laughed when he heard this: “Brother Yang is too modest, indeed, the collapse of the Heaven-Shaking Peak was caused by the alliance of all the sects in the Yuzhou, and logically speaking, the Heaven-Shaken Sect should have a deep grudge with all of the sects here, but this time, I won because I was ordered by my clan’s elders to come, and according to what I know, the ones participating in the Adept Qing Shu’s Heavenly Handle Feast are not only the Jade Sword Sect that I represent, but also the Yuxiao Sect’s Dongfang Pearl, the Tan Xi Sect’s Yan Dazhi, and other sects. All of them are young warriors who are participating in this conference, and there are even rumors that say that outside the Yuzhou’s sect is not here, it is not simple at all.”
