Chapter 24: Immortal Sect Talisman
"I know!" Yang Jiuli bowed and said.
"Very good!" Yang Xuan nodded slightly, then asked, "Why did the Ancestor suddenly disappear during the battle just now?"
He was worried.
There was no ancestor to oversee things.
If Grandmaster Wei were to launch a surprise attack, things would be very bad!
"Our ancestor has been gone for too long, and his blood and qi have been depleted too much, making it difficult for him to continue fighting!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Can't sustain a prolonged war? Then how are we going to deal with Grandmaster Wei?" Yang Xuan frowned, his mind filled with worry.
"Father, rest assured, I have already made up my mind..." Yang Jiuli said.
"You've already made a plan? You don't mean to..." Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Not bad!" Yang Jiuli said with a clear smile.
"This isn't a good idea!" Yang Xuan frowned, feeling somewhat guilty.
"It's alright," Yang Jiuli said. "If Grandmaster Wei doesn't die, he will eventually become a menace. He is seriously injured right now. If we don't take this opportunity to kill him, it will be too late once he recovers his strength. At that time, our three families will surely suffer annihilation."
"My son is absolutely right!" Yang Xuan nodded slightly. He was also worried. The power of a Grandmaster still made him tremble.
"Father, you should focus on healing your injuries. Leave the rest to me!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Okay!" Yang Xuan nodded.
"Father, do we have that 'Black Abyss' ancient token?" Yang Jiuli asked Yang Xuan.
"Yes!" Yang Xuan said, "The patriarchs of Tang Family Fortress and Famous Sword Manor each obtained one. If the three ancient tokens are gathered together, they can open the Primordial Ancient Palace of the 'Black Abyss'..."
"May I take a look?" Yang Jiuli asked.
Yang Xuan nodded, then went to a hidden compartment in a side room, took out a box, and handed it to Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli opened the box.
A token made of purple-gold appeared inside.
The plaque is engraved with intricate patterns, resembling talismans or incantations.
At the center, two characters are engraved:
In the beginning...
"This is a talisman from the Immortal Sect... specifically for opening cave dwellings or ancient palaces!" Yang Jiuli's eyes flashed as he stared at the ancient talisman.
At this moment, his heart was pounding, and he felt a surge of excitement.
Although he had seen this edict in Yang Xiangru's life, he never actually held it in his hands, so it was ultimately unreal.
Now he is certain that his ancestor truly had a destiny with immortals.
"The Ancestor's 'Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique' was obtained from the small world within the 'Black Abyss' Ancient Palace," Yang Xuan said.
"With both the 'Azure Jade Mushroom' and the palaces of an immortal sect, the 'Black Abyss' must be the site of an ancient immortal sect's ruins!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself, "Perhaps even a very high-level immortal sect."
In his previous life, he had also witnessed many immortal sects.
Those who possess a grotto-heaven are already dominant immortal sects!
He's clearly going to take a trip to the 'Black Abyss'!
Perhaps, there lies the key to his path of cultivation.
"You want to go to the 'Black Abyss'?" Yang Xuan asked, seeing his son holding the token with a burning gaze.
"Our ancestor once obtained an opportunity in the 'Black Abyss,' and as his junior, I naturally want to go as well," Yang Jiuli said with a smile.
"The 'Black Abyss' is more dangerous than before!" Yang Xuan stroked his short beard and said with concern.
"What dangers does the 'Black Abyss' hold? Please tell me, Father..." Yang Jiuli said.
"Strange hurricanes often appear in the 'Black Abyss,' and once you fall into it, you will disappear!" Yang Xuan said.
He explained the situation of the "Black Abyss" to Yang Jiuli in detail.
"In some places, where there was nothing originally, once you step on it... light patterns bloom out of thin air on the ground, sucking people in and making them disappear."
……
Yang Jiuli's eyes grew brighter and brighter after hearing this.
"The hurricane... it must have triggered the 'Wind Restriction Technique'!"
"The ground rippled with light... engulfing people... it must be the 'Earth Abyss Technique'."
"The Great Wei was undoubtedly a level nine cultivation nation!" Yang Jiuli murmured.
After confirming that the 'Black Abyss' was a miracle site, his mood improved considerably, and he felt more hopeful for the future.
He then asked his father many questions about the "Black Abyss".
He didn't return to his mountainside residence until the bright moon hung high in the sky.
……
nightfall.
Snowdrift Manor, a secluded garden within the inner compound.
After four hours of recuperation, Tang Yuan's injuries finally stabilized.
Tang Yifan and Tang Xiao remained by his side to protect him.
Tang Yuan straightened his clothes and got off the bed.
"Father, how are you?" Tang Yifan immediately stepped forward to support Tang Yuan and asked.
"He's out of danger!" Tang Yuan exclaimed. "This Grandmaster is truly extraordinary!"
In the previous battle, the three of them were completely powerless against Wei Wuji's sword shadows.
This horrified Tang Yuan.
As he spoke, Tang Yuan walked outside.
"Grandmasters are indeed terrifying!" Tang Yifan said.
Tang Yifan helped Tang Yuan up.
Tang Xiao followed beside him.
Upon entering the courtyard, the moonlight illuminates the distant mountain peaks, making them appear as bright as day.
"The night view of Snowdrift Manor is so beautiful!" Tang Yuan said, looking into the distance.
"It's beautiful!" Tang Yifan nodded slightly and looked into the distance.
The distant mountain peaks are covered in snow, which, under the moonlight, can be seen to glow faintly white, like jewels shining.
"My Tang Family Fortress has its own unique charm!" Tang Yuan said.
Tang Yifan nodded slightly.
"It's a pity that without a Grandmaster to oversee things, I don't know how many more years my Tang Family Fortress can remain glorious!" Tang Yuan said worriedly.
"Grandmaster..." Tang Yifan frowned, knowing in his heart that his father must have been greatly affected by the battle during the day.
"How is your relationship with Jiuli?" Tang Yuan asked his son beside him.
"Not bad!" Tang Yifan said, scratching his head. "Actually, Ninth Brother reminded me yesterday that something big was going to happen today."
"A master strategist, eliminating the traitor without leaving a trace... truly a young hero!" Tang Yuan exclaimed. "Snowdrift Manor has a worthy successor!"
"Ninth Brother is indeed incredibly intelligent, with the demeanor of a great general!" Tang Yifan said.
"What's even more remarkable is that their ancestor can actually manifest his spirit to protect his clansmen. It's truly enviable!" Tang Yuan said.
"What does Father want?" Tang Yifan nodded slightly, then his eyes lit up as he looked at his father.
I understand why my father said all that; he was waiting for him here!
"If possible, I would like you to go and ask Yang Jiuli about this secret technique... My Tang Family Fortress is willing to give up half of the county's assets... no, the entire county's assets in exchange!" Tang Yuan said, his mouth watering at the secret technique.
With the help of a grandmaster, he would have no fear of a great enemy!
"I'll try talking to Ninth Brother," Tang Yifan said, "but this kind of secret technique is the foundation of his livelihood, and I'm afraid he won't change it."
"If that doesn't work out, then you should spend more time with him, study hard, and try to build a good relationship with him," Tang Yuan said, stroking his beard.
"I understand!" Tang Yifan said. "I will definitely take Ninth Brother as my role model!"
Tang Yuan glanced at Tang Yifan, thinking to himself, "You don't know anything..."
However, seeing his son like that, he sighed softly.
They only thought that their children and grandchildren would have their own blessings.
Sometimes, when it comes to friendships, being too deliberate can actually make things less beautiful.
"If the exchange doesn't work out, then we'll have to resort to intermarriage for generations!" Tang Yuan whispered.
His mind was racing as he pondered the future of Tangjiabao.
