These days, Yang Genshuo has observed everyone in this Gongyang Sixteen Clans city, and it has broadened his perspectives.
Both are Legendary Lands; the White Grain Warehouse uses various Heavenly Mechanism Restrictions to obscure investigation, but here, itâs almost defenseless, open for observation.
Yang Genshuo listened to them speak and examined various traces, discovering that this city has actually existed for thousands of years!
The people of the Gongyang Sixteen Clans have been living here all along, and according to them, other Gongyang Family clans are living further upstream from the Star Sand Falls, with higher status and power.
And this Sixteen Clans seems to be... a small clan at the base of the falls.
Their strength is also incredibly high.
Yang Genshuo dares to say that, in terms of high-level cultivators, this Sixteen Clans can rival any of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
Such power, yet it is the weakest among the clans here.
Itâs hard to imagine what kind of strength those living upstream in the Star Sand Falls, in that sacred land with celestial music, possess.
"If the previous speculation is correct, this is the hidden dwelling of the Gongyang Family from the Ancient Immortal Clan, the scale and power of the Gongyang Immortal Clan... unprecedentedly great."
"Going out to unify the world wouldnât be a problem at all."
"Yet there seems to be little about the Gongyang Immortal Clan outside... Yang Fushuo only found mentions of them appearing in a small dynasty under the Immortal Martial Sect; are they really this low-key?"
"Or is it that... this place of the Ancient Immortal Clan restricts them somehow?"
"Is this really the Legendary Land?"
Yang Genshuo was somewhat puzzled, but from the current perspective, it wasnât a bad thing for Yang Zhu.
His level of cultivation wouldnât alert the Gongyang Family; too weak, but itâs actually a safe matter.
Because a person might deceive a child, but wouldnât deceive an ant... Just do whatever you want directly.
Yang Zhuâs status here is akin to an ant, aside from that Immortal Mushroom, he hardly has anything to show, nor anything desirable.
The Immortal Mushroom is hidden pretty well; Yang Genshuo does not think others can discover it.
"So, Yang Zhuâs luck actually played a part here... encountering two good people from the Ancient Immortal Clan?"
"Oh right! Instead of speculating here, why not let Yang Zhu try himself, his foreseeing ability is quite strong."
Yang Genshuo explained the situation to Yang Zhu.
Yang Zhu cheerfully said, "Ancestor, I feel the light here is very warm, very reassuring."
"Then thereâs no problem."
Yang Zhuâs prediction ability has always been very effective.
"Ancestor, I have another matter..."
"Speak."
"I feel that the Teleportation Mushroom inside my heart seems to be somewhat hungry and wants to eat something, but I donât know where to find it."
"Oh... right, a weakened Teleportation Mushroom canât be used, you should quickly repair it to see if you can unlock more useful abilities, what kind of things does it need to eat?"
"Something with mushroom power, like the mushrooms Iâve eaten before, Iâve fed it all the Spirit Power Mushrooms I had saved up, but itâs still hungry."
"Then you have to find them in the Mushroom World... Actually, Spirit Power Mushrooms are a type of mushroom-like spirit plant, thereâs an alternative on the Spirit Miao Continent, wait."
Yang Genshuo immediately got in touch with Yang Fushuo, letting him purchase mushroom-like spirit plants.
"Whatâs the effect? What grade?"
"Anything will do, buy as much as you can, we need a lot!"
"Alright..."
Yang Fushuo didnât understand, but it was a trivial matter for him, he casually ordered people to purchase them from the Treasure Pavilion.
"The nearest Treasure Pavilion is only half a dayâs journey, it will be back tomorrow."
"Good, go quickly and return quickly."
"Uh... Ancestor, whatâs this for? A new alchemy formula?"
"To save someone."
"Hmm? Who? Who is in danger? On the Spirit Miao Continent?"
"No, in a place we all canât reach... Oh, by the way!"
Yang Genshuo suddenly remembered, regarding Yang Zhuâs lineage, he asked many Yang Family members, and still hasnât found out who Yang Zhuâs father Yang Minâan is.
But he forgot to ask Yang Fushuo!
He hadnât figured out how to broach the topic then; now, it reminded him.
"Fushuo, Iâve got a question for you; all these years, have you ever heard of someone in Yang Family called Yang Minâan?"
"Yang Minâan... the Familyâs fourth generation, Dingâer is yet to marry, and I havenât returned home in years, never heard of him."
"Alright..."
Yang Genshuo was a bit disappointed, but this outcome was within his expectations.
Yang Fushuoâs family relationships are simple; itâs just him, Du Yuyan, and Yang Qiangding; no other family bloodlines.
Yang Fushuo isnât promiscuous either.
"Ancestor, does this person have anything special about them?"
"Very special... Heâs like a ghost, I only know the name, but Iâve never seen any trace of his existence..."
"Even you, Ancestor, canât see him... thatâs very mysterious, sigh, speaking of, Iâve always had a hurdle I canât get over; Iâve been looking for him for years to no avail."
"Who?"
"Yang Feng."
"Hmm???"
Wait a moment!
"Youâve seen Yang Feng?"
"Yes, exactly eleven years ago, Xiao Feng came to me saying he wanted to go to a Legendary Land and to buy some Fifth-grade Elixir; I gave him the three Fifth-grade Elixirs I had, saying he should come back to me once he got out, but so many years have passed and he still hasnât returned... I sent people to the place he mentioned to look for him, but they couldnât find him anywhere."
"Iâve always been worried about Xiao Feng, but I know heâs not blood-related to the Yang Family, Ancestor you canât see him, so I havenât asked you about it these days."
Hearing Yang Fushuoâs words, Yang Genshuo seemed to have connected some dots.
"You mean... eleven years ago?"
"Yes, I remember that day, Xiao Feng after all is my nephew, when he came to me, I surely gave him the greatest help."
Yang Fushuo claims to not be in touch with the family, but when Yang Feng came asking for a favor, he offered the best.
Yang Genshuo hadnât realized this intersection before.
Eleven years ago was precisely when Yang Feng and Yang Qiangyou jointly entered the Legendary Land, and Yang Qiangyouâs fortune led him to bring treasures out.
Yet thereâs been no word from Yang Feng.
A year later, Yang Zhu was born in some unknown Legendary Land.
"Considering the time and place, Yang Feng must have a significant relation to Yang Zhu!"
According to Yang Zhuâs description, he lived with his mother since childhood in a dangerous place; wandering was their life norm, the father left, and he and his mother were trapped in that world.
"Finding Yang Feng absolutely must reveal the secret of Yang Zhuâs birth... Given the time and place, he might likely have had interactions, perhaps even fought side by side with Yang Zhuâs biological parents!"
"And then thereâs Yang Qiangyou; once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage, maybe weâll learn more details from him."
According to Yang Qiangyouâs recording, after he entered the Legendary Land, he parted from the others, came to a unique place, and received great fortune.
This is also why he can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
But this implies he must have separated from Yang Feng.
To truly unravel the mystery of Yang Zhuâs biological father, finding Yang Feng is the key!
"Right, Ancestor, I remember something... When Xiao Feng came, he had a female cultivator with him, she seemed to be Xiao Fengâs friend, their relationship wasnât ordinary, Xiao Feng even bought some Golden Core Stage elixirs for her."
"Hmm? You... do you remember what that female cultivator looked like? What was her name?"
"Her appearance was somewhat exotic, unlike people from our side; her name... I remember Xiao Feng calling her... Miduo."
Yang Genshuo: "!!!"
Miduo!
Yang Zhuâs mother!
So she was friends with Yang Feng and very likely entered the Legendary Land together!
"How did you see that their relationship wasnât ordinary? How specifically was it unusual?"
"Uh... that female cultivator often watched Xiao Feng with a coy smile, the light in her eyes wasnât fake; I guess she liked Xiao Feng, but they didnât do anything inappropriate."
"This..."
