Chapter 193 News of the Battle Between Good and Evil

As Jiang Yucheng's coffin was slowly placed in the ancestral tomb, an era of the Jiang family came to a quiet end.

But looking at the entire Sanqing Sect, this is another insignificant day. What about the entire cultivation world?

The atmosphere at the Jiang family's ancestral tomb is solemn and dignified.

The sun shines through the clouds, casting a soft glow, but it cannot dispel the sadness and heaviness that permeates the air.

Everyone stood quietly, watching Jiang Yucheng, the head of the family, leave for the last time.

The first person to kneel was not his granddaughter Jiang Zhiyun, but the next head of the family Jiang Zhiping.

Jiang Zhiping was wearing a solemn white robe. The first-grade top-grade sword of the family head was shining coldly under the sunlight, and he firmly inserted it in front of the grave.

Jiang Zhiping slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Behind Jiang Zhiping, Jiang Yude and other elders watched the scene quietly.

When Jiang Zhiping finished bowing and stood up, Jiang Yude and other elders looked at each other, and then announced in unison that Jiang Zhiping would be the successor to the head of the family.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the clan. In the Jade Valley, a dinner party was held. It was hard to tell whether it was lively or solemn, but it was probably not much different from a banquet in the mortal world.

Ye Yunqi stood in the corner, watching all this quietly, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

With the replacement of the old and new patriarchs, he always felt that his sense of identity and belonging to the Jiang family had diminished a lot.

Now, he is already a foundation-building master, and has a certain strength in this world of immortals. He feels that he should look for opportunities to establish his own family.

Ye Yunqi's eyes fell on Duanmu Ya who was not far away. Duanmu Ya stood beside Ye Yunqi, wearing a blue dress with white patterns embroidered on it, looking fresh and refined.

She stood there quietly, her eyes cold but with a hint of curiosity, looking at the others like an outsider.

Ye Yunqi stepped forward and said softly, "Daoyou Duanmu, I want to establish my own family. What do you think?"

Duanmu Ya turned her head slightly and looked at Ye Yunqi, but she was not too surprised. She had known Ye Yunqi's thoughts for a long time, otherwise he would not have only served as a guest official in the sect.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I don't know much about the Zili family, but the deacons in charge of secular affairs in the Sanqing Sect should know more. Let's find a time to go back to the Sanqing Sect and ask them!"

Ye Yunqi nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait until things here are over."

Duanmu Ya blinked, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes. If she followed Ye Yunqi and observed how he established a new family, she would probably gain a greater understanding of the ways of the world, right?
The Jiang family’s affairs soon came to an end.

Ye Yunqi was just about to go to Sanqing Sect with Duanmu Ya, because Jiang Zhiping had to report to Sanqing Sect, so the three of them went together.

As an immortal cultivation family under the jurisdiction of Sanqing Sect, any changes in the head of the family must be reported to Sanqing Sect.

The three of them came to the area where the Sanqing Sect was responsible for secular affairs.

There are people coming and going here, and it’s very lively.

Immortal cultivators shuttled back and forth among them, handling various affairs. Except for the deacons and disciples on errands in the sect, the rest were people from the major immortal cultivation families outside the Sanqing Sect.

When they saw Jiang Zhiping's figure, a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes. Now, the nearby immortal cultivation families already knew that the head of the Jiang family had passed away. It seemed that the slightly immature foundation-building master in front of them might be the future head of the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhiping took Ye Yunqi and Duanmu Ya to find the corresponding deacon. Jiang Zhiping respectfully explained the purpose of his visit to the deacon, and then began to report the change of the head of the Jiang family. The deacon recorded what Jiang Zhiping said and asked for some details.

After the report was completed, Jiang Zhiping hurriedly said goodbye and left. As the new head of the family, he still had a lot of things to do.

After Jiang Zhiping left, Ye Yunqi asked the deacon how to start a new family.

The deacon was busy and had a bit of irritation on his face, but when he saw Ye Yunqi wearing the Sanqing Sect's deacon robe and Duanmu Ya behind him, his eyes instantly cleared up and he revealed a cordial smile.

He explained in detail: "Brother, it is like this. To establish a new family, the most important thing is to have a spiritual vein. But now almost all the spiritual veins in the Sanqing Sect's territory have owners. However, if a family declines, you can obtain the spiritual vein from the other party's remnants, and then you can establish a family. Or find a new spiritual vein."

Ye Yunqi asked curiously, "Since all the spiritual veins have owners, how do we find new ones?"

The deacon explained: "The spiritual veins in the world are unpredictable, and new spiritual veins will occasionally be born. Also, in the process of occupying the land of the Monster Mountain Range, new spiritual veins will occasionally be discovered."

Ye Yunqi bowed to thank the deacon and began to think about how to find a new spiritual vein.

He thought of the Yu family. The Yu family had offended him because they wanted to divide the Jiang family, and were later punished by the elders of the Danding Sect.

Later, the nearby immortal cultivation families saw that he was becoming more and more powerful and that the Yu family had offended him, so they gathered together invisibly and wanted to divide up the Yu family.

I don’t know what the situation is now. If the Yu family declines, I can take the opportunity to obtain the Yu family’s spiritual vein.

Ye Yunqi was about to go down the mountain to inquire about the situation, when Duanmu Ya suddenly pulled Ye Yunqi and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, come with me. We have something to discuss."

Ye Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then followed Duanmu Ya to Duanmu Ya's yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Ye Yunqi saw a familiar person. Duanmu Qingyuan was sitting in the yard, brewing a pot of tea and drinking it by himself, looking quite graceful.

Duanmu Qingyuan seemed not to notice the person coming in and just drank his tea.

"Father." Duanmu Ya called out.

Ye Yunqi also bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Elder."

Duanmu Qingyuan looked like he had come to his senses: "Yaya, you're back? Deacon Ye, have you adapted well recently?"

Duanmu Ya pulled Ye Yunqi to sit down and said, "Father, you called me here in a hurry, what's the important matter?"

Duanmu Qingyuan seemed a little helpless. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Duanmu Ya pick up the teapot, first pouring a cup of tea for Ye Yunqi, and then pouring a cup for herself.

"..." Duanmu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment. He always felt that his little cotton-padded jacket was becoming less and less caring. He had finished the tea in his cup, so why didn't he add some tea for his old father?
But Duanmu Ya immediately added tea into Duanmu Qingyuan's teacup, and Duanmu Qingyuan's mood instantly improved. After all, his daughter was on his side.

Then he said, "There is important news. Normally, I shouldn't tell you two yet, but considering that you two have made contributions, I will tell you in advance. Don't tell others." "The battle between good and evil has been decided."

Ye Yunqi took a sip of the tea. The tea prepared by the Yuanying ancestor for him was truly wonderful. It was just a cup of tea, but the fragrance was profound. After drinking it, he felt the essence of Taoism. The effect was comparable to that of the third-level divine water.

With the spiritual energy surging throughout his body, his cultivation has improved slightly.

Before he had time to marvel at the extraordinary nature of the tea, Ye Yunqi suddenly heard Duanmu Qingyuan's words, and his mind immediately focused on the battle between good and evil.

Duanmu Qingyuan continued, "But don't worry, this battle between good and evil will be different from the one three hundred years ago. The seniors above me have already decided that those above the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to participate in this battle between good and evil."

"We have found evidence that the demons are colluding with monsters to plot evil, and we have received support from our predecessors. They support us in recovering the lost territory and avenging our previous humiliation."

Duanmu Qingyuan seemed to be a war advocate, and he said to us, "You also contributed to this. The three wolf demons colluded with the demons and escaped."

Ye Yunqi nodded. This was really a coincidence.

Just to recover the lost territory, Ye Yunqi was suddenly stunned, the lost territory, Ningcheng.

In other words, if the lost territory is recovered, then the former territory of the Blood Spirit Sect will also return to the rightful territory, right?
Duanmu Ya nodded and said, "If we recover the lost territory, Fellow Daoist Ye's affairs will be easier to handle."

Duanmu Qingyuan cast a puzzled look at him, and Ye Yunqi explained: "I am trying to establish a family, but I can't find a suitable spiritual vein."

Duanmu Qingyuan laughed: "If you recapture Ningcheng, there will be a lot of ownerless spirit veins. If you have made achievements, I can fight for you."

Then, he said in a tempting voice, as if to encourage others: "An ordinary family only has one first-level spiritual vein. After the lost territory is recovered, Ningcheng will have a change of righteousness and evil. Not to mention first-level spiritual veins, there will be many vacant second-level spiritual veins, and even third-level spiritual veins. However, forget about third-level spiritual veins, but you can fight for second-level spiritual veins."

The second-level spiritual vein. The ordinary Jindan sects, such as the Tieyun Sect, the Qingyue Sect, or the earliest Xueling Sect, are just built on a second-level spiritual vein.

Ye Yunqi has not seen any family occupying the second-level spiritual vein in the territory of Sanqing Sect!

However, I have also heard people mention that the place where the Sanqing Sect is located is considered to be the front line of the battle between good and evil in the world of cultivation, so it is relatively barren.

The reason, it is said, is that in ancient times, there were powerful forces of good and evil fighting on the front line, and the world was almost shattered, so that the spiritual veins on the front line were dispersed, and then slowly nurtured after years, but compared to the rear, the spiritual veins on the front line are fewer and of lower level.

In the wealthy areas in the rear, even the immortal cultivation families occupy the second-level and even third-level spiritual veins, and are superior to the Jindan and Yuanying sects.

There are even some ancient families that seem to be involved in areas above the Nascent Soul stage, but these are areas that ordinary people find difficult to tell the truth from the false based on hearsay.

Ye Yunqi's mind was full of thoughts. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, elder. However, the battle between good and evil involves a wide range of things. I am only just beginning to build my foundation..."

Before Ye Yunqi finished speaking, Duanmu Qingyuan said, "In this battle between good and evil, those above the Nascent Soul stage did not participate, and both sides are familiar with the Nascent Soul ancestors at this level, so they are just restraining each other."

"As a skilled craftsman, you still have a chance to make meritorious contributions, even though you are below the Golden Core level."

Ye Yunqi nodded, and Duanmu Ya asked, "When is this battle between good and evil scheduled to take place?"

Duanmu Qingyuan calculated and said, "It's still early. If the time was close, they would have notified you two earlier, and not just you two."

Ye Yunqi was a little puzzled. Since the war had been decided, why was it still so early? Shouldn't they attack with speed and surprise the enemy?

Duanmu Qingyuan seemed to see the confusion in Ye Yunqi's eyes and explained, "The war between immortal cultivators is different from that of ordinary people. There is a new world for each realm. Now that the world above the Nascent Soul has been settled, it's us, the Nascent Soul ancestors, who will have to fight next."

"There's no rush."

Ye Yunqi nodded. For a cultivator, realm is everything.

There is no point in playing the game of speed and surprise. It is meaningless when a golden elixir meets a primordial infant.

Duanmu Qingyuan didn't seem to want to continue to elaborate, and just said: "You guys go and prepare. By the way, Duanmu Ya, you should stay in the sect for the time being and practice more. There is no rush to comprehend the mortal world. When you reach the Golden Core Yuanying stage, you will have time to comprehend it."

Duanmu Ya hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Yunqi bowed and said, "Sorry for disturbing you. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay." Duanmu Qingyuan raised his teacup, "No need to see you off."

Ye Yunqi turned and left, thinking to himself, why did he feel that there was a hint of satisfaction in the eyes of this ancestor? It must be an illusion.

After Ye Yunqi left, Duanmu Qingyuan chuckled, as if an old father had driven away a yellow-haired man, and showed a triumphant smile. He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: "Yaya, you should practice well. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

Duanmu Ya nodded, thinking secretly in her heart: If I can reach the perfect foundation building stage, or the golden elixir stage before the great battle between good and evil, it will be able to help Fellow Daoist Ye to achieve great achievements. It shouldn't be difficult for Fellow Daoist Ye and I to work together to obtain a second-level spiritual vein, right?
Ye Yunqi left the yard and flew towards the Jiang family on his sword.

Back at the Jiang family, Jiang Qingzi, Su Muyao, and Jiang Zhiyun were drinking tea in their own yard.

However, Jiang Zhiyun looked a little dazed, as if she had not yet recovered from her grief.

Jiang Qingzi, on the other hand, although she felt a little sentimental, she had just returned from outside and had not spent much time with Jiang Yucheng, so she had now calmed down.

Su Muyao and the other concubines were naturally complete outsiders. They could only sigh at most, but when they thought that their master Ye Yunqi was still in his prime and had a promising future, they even felt a little happy.

Ye Yunqi stepped into the courtyard, and Su Muyao was the first to say, "Master, you are back."

Ye Yunqi nodded: "Yes, by the way, Qingzi, how do you feel about your training in Tieyun Sect these few days? Are you ready to build your foundation now?"

Jiang Qingzi: "The courtyard over there is naturally full of spiritual energy, and the progress of cultivation is extraordinary than ever before. But when it comes to building a foundation, I feel that I am still a little behind."

"Then I'll take you there again."

Speaking of foundation building, Jiang Zhiyun's somewhat dazed expression moved, and she bit her lip, as if she remembered that she had rashly built her foundation, which resulted in her lack of strength and inability to break through.

Jiang Qingzi quickly winked at Ye Yunqi, then stood up and patted Jiang Zhiyun on the back.

Ye Yunqi sighed and was about to change the subject.
