"Husband~"
"Husband~ I knew Husband was the most capable."
"Husband, how did you ascend to this remote region?"
The old teleportation array of Xuan Yin City reactivated, and the first batch of passengers it welcomed were Yang Hong's family and friends, along with some disciples from Qing Feng Mountain Villa and the spirit plant demon immortals he had cultivated and ascended.
His request to the Immortal Emperors through Yin Caiwei was to help Yang Hong find these relatives and send them to the Xuan Yin Immortal Domain.
Ascended immortals from the lower realm, upon ascending, generally undergo registration. Those with influence would request upper realm immortals to send them to their affiliated forces. Those without influence would find a force to cultivate slowly.
Therefore, finding people was not difficult.
The premise was not to ascend to a place like the Black Ant Wilderness, where they would register you, then use you as a cauldron, or even eat you.
Fortunately, Yang Hong's relatives and friends in the Tai Yuan Realm had all ascended to safe areas.
However, not many were willing to come to this Xuan Yin Immortal Domain.
His seven Dao companions: Zhu Yu Yan, Wan Wan, Li Li Zhi, Song Yu Zhi, Jia Yuan Chun, Zhou Feng Zhi, and Li Xue Feng all came.
Only a small portion of the spirit plant demon immortals he cultivated arrived: Yu Ke Wei, Hua Xin Lei, Mu Xiu Hui, Xiao Kui, and Xiao Pu.
The vast majority of disciples who ascended from Qing Feng Mountain Villa had also arrived, totaling 621 people. Over a thousand years, the disciples of Qing Feng Mountain Villa had been quite diligent.
From the Great Sui Dynasty, 283 Yang family disciples also arrived. They had also been diligent in their cultivation, but the Yang family had fewer resources, resulting in fewer disciples ascending.
Yang Hong had not asked for everyone he knew to be sent over, but had instructed Immortal Venerable Yan Zhou to consult them. Those willing to come could come, and those unwilling could stay.
However, one unexpected person did arrive.
"Big brother, I didn't expect you to come."
"Heh heh~ I also didn't expect to see Sixth Brother again. I was worried Sixth Brother might have an accident in the Tai Yuan Realm. I never imagined Sixth Brother could already influence an Immortal Venerable."
Yang Hong hugged his elder brother Yang Yong tightly, his eyes reddening slightly.
They were truly blood relatives, and after over a thousand years apart, they felt immense kinship.
"Does big brother know Eighth Sister's whereabouts?"
"Yes, I do. Before coming to the Xuan Yin Immortal Domain, I met her once. She has excellent talent and was taken as a disciple by a Golden Immortal. She is currently cultivating in the Central Immortal Domain and is in no danger."
"Well, that's good."
Yang Yong, clad in a grey monk's robe, had also arrived.
After a long period of reunion and pleasantries among them, Yang Hong introduced Yin Caiwei and the other two, explicitly stating they were his Dao companions.
This made everyone admire Yang Hong with awe-inspiring reverence:
'Holy crap, Husband/Sixth Brother/Sect Master is amazing!
Eating soft rice all the way up to a Great Luo Golden Immortal!'
It was not that they were thinking so unreasonably; they simply could not comprehend Yang Hong's cultivation. He was already at the third level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
All of them were at the Human Immortal level, with the highest, Li Li Zhi, only at the third level of Human Immortal. Even if they were certain Yang Hong's cultivation had advanced rapidly, they would not have expected it to be this high. They imagined the eighth or ninth level of Human Immortal to be their limit.
"Greetings, sisters. Sisters, please follow me. As for the others, please have Husband make arrangements."
Hearing Yang Hong admit their identities as his Dao companions for the first time, Yin Caiwei's heart was filled with sweetness, like eating honey. She kindly led Zhu Yu Yan and the others towards the floating island.
"Husband, please let me train these disciples for you. I guarantee I will train them into qualified warriors."
Seeing Yin Caiwei lead Zhu Yu Yan and the others away, Lu Shao Shi's eyes darted as she pointed at the Qing Feng Mountain Villa disciples like Gu Bo Ji, Ran Bo Ren, Zhang Zheng Yan, and Zhong Cheng Feng, and said.
She was also very excited. Although they had been de facto Dao companions for the past three hundred years, Yang Hong had refused to acknowledge it, which had caused some unease in their hearts.
Now, her Dao companion had acknowledged them in front of other Dao companions and relatives and friends. It seemed her three hundred years of love had received a response, making her immensely excited.
Yang Hong nodded in agreement to Lu Shao Shi's request. He knew of Lu Shao Shi's capabilities. This loli-faced girl, over ninety thousand years old, was proficient in various battle formations, magic, and physical techniques, making her a qualified general.
Having her train the disciples for him was indeed the correct choice.
Du Yu Jing, standing beside Yang Hong, watched Lu Shao Shi excitedly lead away the Qing Feng Mountain Villa disciples with a face full of melancholy. She was too reserved and had missed her chance to speak.
However, she did not want to leave so casually. She followed behind Yang Hong and Yang Yong, acting like a tour guide, explaining the forest named "Creation Forest" to Yang Yong.
"Sixth Brother~ As expected, you still enjoy farming, and you've truly cultivated a great opportunity."
Looking at the lush "Creation Forest," Yang Yong couldn't help but sigh.
"Heh heh~ Perhaps interest is the best teacher."
Yang Hong did not reveal his cultivation, which had surpassed Yin Caiwei's. He remained low-key.
With more manpower, and everyone except Yang Yong knowing the art of spirit plant cultivation, Yang Hong led everyone to start planting again.
Planting formations!
Even the lowest-level formations in the Immortal Realm used Dao Rhyme-level rules, and their power was greater than formations in the lower realm.
A Human Immortal controlling a first-grade immortal formation could rival a Earth Immortal; a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the eighth level of Immortal controlling a seventh-grade immortal formation could even directly kill an Immortal Lord at the ninth level of Immortal!
Yin Caiwei had once confidently stated that if given control of a ninth-grade immortal formation, she would dare to seal an Immortal Emperor!
Unfortunately, Yin Caiwei had no chance to come into contact with a ninth-grade immortal formation. Let alone ninth-grade, she hadn't even qualified to see an eighth-grade immortal formation; those were controlled by the true upper echelons of the Immortal Realm.
Even Immortal Lords at the ninth level of Immortal could only learn up to seventh-grade immortal formations at most!
The seventh-grade immortal formation that Yang Hong and the others were currently planting was the "Vast Sky Endless Distance Formation," a top-tier seventh-grade immortal formation that combined illusion, confinement, and support.
The only drawback of this formation was its complete lack of offensive power. However, its advantage was that it had no attribute restrictions for the base points of deployment; any attribute could be used for its setup.
While the formation itself lacked offensive power, the base points of deployment could possess it.
Golden and silver intertwined lights continuously lit up throughout the "New Creation Forest," and immortal flowers rapidly grew.
After imparting the "Yin Yang Creation Spirit Plant Technique" to others, Yang Hong stopped using spirit plant techniques himself and instead focused on imbuing his chosen spirit plants daily.
Amidst a golden light, a first-grade immortal flower, the Moonlight White Tea Tree, rapidly surged in aura. In just one hour, it advanced from a first-grade immortal flower to a seventh-grade immortal flower.
Not even a rocket could ascend that fast.
After the imbuing concluded an hour later, a Heavenly and Earthly Immortal Qi, twice as powerful as the previous imbuing into the Moonlight White Tea Tree, rushed into Yang Hong's body through the spot where he was pressing the tea tree, lasting for two hours.
The "System" was almost shattered during the previous tribulation. After Yang Hong spent three hundred years repairing it, it was functional again, but new changes had occurred.
The cultivation poured out and returned was no longer calculated by time but directly by cultivation level and quantity. The returned immortal qi was also fixed at double.
However, after deducting the losses he incurred, it effectively meant a doubling of the cultivation he outputted.
This made it convenient for Yang Hong to rapidly cultivate immortal flowers.
It only took an hour for a first-grade immortal flower to be elevated to a seventh-grade immortal flower.
"Alas~ what a pity."
