Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 928 – Lan Family

This family could be considered a rather powerful force in the overseas cultivation world. Even when the human cultivators of the Far Sea cultivation world were being forced to move back due to the repeated advances of the overseas demon race, the Sea Cliff Island Lan Family still chose to hold on to their former territory.

It had already been seven days since Yang Junshan arrived at Sea Cliff Island, and these seven days were enough for him to take a look at the strength of Lan Family on the surface.

From the interactions he had with the other cultivators on the island, he found out that there werotal of eight cultivators above the realms of life. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was the old patriarch of the Lan Family, Taihang Realm Cultivator Lan Haiya, followed by the patriarch of the Lan Family, Lan Ruifang, and his brother, Lan Ruiyang. These two were of Heavenly Dipper Realm, and other than the eight cultivators of the Lan family, there were also three or four guest elders who were attaching to the Lan Family, all of them being of the realms of life.

It was said that there were seventeen alchemists in the entire Lan Family, of which four were Grand Masters and above. Among them, the Old Patriarch of the clan, Lan Haiya, was rumoured to have participated in the refinement of the Dharma pill before, and he was a well-known alchemist master in the overseas cultivation world. There were even some that said that Spiritual Master Lan Haiya had long since reached the Grandmaster Realm of alchemy.

Other than the “clan guarding treasure”, there were two other Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns of Lan Family, Lan Ruifang and Lan Ruiyang, who were only ordinary alchemists. The other two masters were obviously the Lan Family’s Profound Constellation Realm Priestess, Lan Ruting, and the Lan Family’s Gangli Accumulation Realm genius, Lan Heyang. Other than these two, there was also a guest elder attached to the Lan Family who was also a grandmaster alchemist.

Yang Junshan admitted that his Yang family’s development in the past few years was not bad, but after understanding his background, he now clearly understood the differences between his Yang family and a genuine clan’s background.

When Yang Junshan had rushed to the Sea of Bluegrass seven days ago, just as the Shanghai Demons were besieging the Sea Cliff Island, most of the cultivators who had rushed to the Sea Grass Sea had settled down on the Sea Cliff Island due to the news of the appearance of the Tiancheng. Furthermore, when the Sea Demons had appeared on a large scale in the Sea Grass Sea, only the Sea Cliff Island had the advantage of being able to resist the Sea Demon’s attack. Aesult, as long as the cultivators of the Tiancheng had illusions, they would have no choice but to stay behind and assist the Sea Cliff Island in its defense.

The Sea Cliff Island’s Lan Family was the biggest power in the surrounding thousands of miles of the Azure Grass Sea. Since he had already come to the Azure Grass Sea, Yang Junshan had no other choice but to join in the battle with the Sea Demons.

Although Yang Junshan’s sudden entrance would not change the entire situation of the battle, it would also help the cultivators on the island repel the demonic cultivators who were already on the island.

However, because Sea Cliff Island was too vast, a single formation was unable to completely cover the entire island. Therefore, the Lan Family divided the entire Sea Cliff Island into four areas with four important strongholds as the center, and set up four large protection arrays.

Not long after Yang Junshan joined in the battle, the Great Guardian Formation in his region was broken through due to the strong assault of the Sea Demons. A Lan Family Daoist who was guarding the formation was bitten by a Sea Serpent Demon that had hidden himself within the formation, of course, the poison died, and the detoxification pill from the Lan Family did not even work.

Seeing that this area was about to fall due to the collapse of the protective formation, many cultivators of the Lan Family who were guarding this area and those who had rushed to the Sea Cliff Island to help the Lan Family defend against the invaders of the spirit demons had already chosen to break out. At this time, Yang Junshan, on the other hand, faced the sea demons and rushed to the heart of the formation, and under the encirclement of many spirit demons, activated the residual array who was on the verge of collapse once again.

When the human cultivators regained their senses, they relied on the residual array to resist the sea monster’s attacks. Only then did they realise that although the residual array still had loopholes, in the areas that had already been activated, the defense of the formation had greatly increased. Furthermore, the activated residual array could even agilely make changes to the formation according to the needs of the cultivators.

There was an expert directing the formation!

This kind of control and level of reaction power over formations was not something that the Lan Family cultivator who only knew how to use formations to defend himself could compare to. Moreover, they also discovered that as they managed to withstand the attack from the Siren, a portion of the array that was already destroyed or destroyed was actually being restored!

In this intense battle of defense, the cultivator in charge of the array still had time to repair the array!

“A formation master has made his move!”

It wasn’t that there weren’t any knowledgeable cultivators among the cultivators, but they were able to immediately guess from the formation changes the person in charge of the formation’s general knowledge, so they immediately shouted out.

The morale of the cultivators in this region immediately surged. The cultivators who had intended to flee all returned and guarded this region once more, until the demon race cultivators that had besieged the island all retreated back into the sea.

Regardless of his identity as a Adept Tai Gang, or his master-level formation skills, Yang Junshan immediately received treatment from the Lan Family, and established his prestige right after arriving at the chaotic Sea Cliff Island.

The most important full moon formation was located in the center of the island. This was the encampment of the Lan family, and it was also the most important place on the entire island. The other three formations were located in three different directions of the island.

In the next few days of battle, Yang Junshan, as a formation master, relied on his powerful cultivation to travel between the four great protective formations of Sea Cliff Island, assisting the cultivators of Sea Island in resisting the endless sea demons. No matter how fierce the battle was, none of the four great formations collapsed, and even though the human side was injured, the sea demons had never succeeded on the island again.

This was one of the three protective formations that protected the full moon. The other two were the crescent formation and the half moon formation, ever since Yang Junshan had saved the Crescent Moon Formation from collapse, although the Lan Family had sent their cultivators to reinforce the Crescent Moon Formation, they did not manage to take over the formation from Yang Junshan. As for the other powers on the island, they had also expressed their respect towards Yang Junshan, the formation master, so no one came to question his qualifications to control the formation.

“Senior, this is the Origin Replenishing Pill and some crystal stones that the clan bestowed to Senior. Senior, please accept them.”

A martial arts realm youngster from a Lan Family offered up a storage bag with both hands.

Although the cultivators who came to look for the Tiancheng were forced to gather at Sea Cliff Island out of helplessness, without these cultivators, it would be very difficult for the Lan Clan to resist the continuous onslaught that would last for many days. Therefore, the Lan Clan was not stingy at all;

Yang Junshan had already received the third gift from the Lan Family for the pill crystals. In these few days of battle, the contributions of the four great protective formations on the island were not small, but he did not have much to show for it. Aesult, he did not consume much cultivation resources.

“Lan Xianming, how is your father doing in the future?”

Yang Junshan asked after he received the storage bag and scanned it casually with his soul consciousness.

After the Sea Serpent Demon sneaked an attack on Yang Junshan and poisoned his father, Lan He Ming was also almost killed by the Snake Demon. Fortunately, Yang Junshan had arrived in time and heavily injured and repelled the Snake Demon, saving Lan He’s life.

“Now that Sea Cliff Island has been surrounded by Siren, the clan is in imminent danger, so my father is only hastily cremated. The patriarch said that after the Siren has left, a funeral will be held for my father, and the memorial tablet will be placed in the clan’s ancestral hall. My father has already lost a second Adept.”

Yang Junshan patted the young lad’s shoulder, and said: “Don’t be discouraged, I can see that you still have some foundation. Although your cultivation is low now, as long as you continue to train hard, you might be able to advance to the realms of life in the future.”

“It’s easier said than done. After my father died, the eldest uncle of the clan immediately took back what was on my father’s body. My family was originally small in number, and my father was the one in charge, but now that my father has fallen, there is no one left to protect my family. There are at least twenty or thirty children like me in Lan Family, so how could my family waste resources on me?”

The young man’s expression was dejected, and his words contained a sense of anger and resentment towards the Lan Family. It was obvious that after his father had fallen, he had suffered an unfair treatment from the family.

Yang Junshan comforted the teenager for a while, then changed the topic and asked: “You said that Lan Family has lost two Dao Masters? Who else but your father? In the past few days, I haven’t heard any news of any Dao Masters in Lan Family perishing, have I? ”

“He Yang’s cousin. He’s the greatest genius of our Lan Family. Not only is his cultivation the strongest amongst our generation, his alchemy skills are also top-notch. He’s already mastered grandmaster alchemy as soon as he stepped into the realms of life.”

Yang Junshan said in shock: “Does that mean that out of the four great pill refiners in Lan Family, one is already missing? “When did this happen?”

Lan Xianming nodded his head and said, “It was before you came. At that time, the Siren Empire attacked our Sea Cliff Island. Cousin He Ming encountered a Siren and was unable to escape. Soon, the Siren Empire attacked Sea Cliff Island.”

Yang Junshan nodded when he heard it, and asked again, “Your Lan Family has lived in the Azure Grass Sea for generations, and your Tiancheng has appeared in the Azure Grass Sea.

Lan He Ming nodded. “Of course, cousin uncle Rui Yang was the first to discover the Tiancheng’s Mirage.”

“Oh?”

Yang Junshan said in surprise: “So the news of Tiancheng appearing in the Sea of Cyanwood was spread by your Lan Family first?”
