Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 596 - 399: Space Channel Closed, Moving Towards 5,000 Merit!

"No, Lei Zhen practices the Demon Path to do good deeds, so he has no obstacles in his heart."

"I’m already doomed, without heaven’s favor, what else can I do?"

"But we can’t handle it like this, the family’s merit will be ruined!"

Never mind what Ding Zhen thought, Yang Genshuo did not agree with Yang Shi’s plan.

Previously, when Yang Feng was in the Demon World stealing treasures and killing that Thousand-legged Demon Worm, Yang Qiangwei stepped in to assist, providing some auxiliary magic, and the Yang Family was docked 10 points of merit.

If Yang Shi sends the Demon Clan over to be devoured by Lei Zhen... the merit will really plummet.

"This method is only applicable to the Demon Clan that harms the Human Clan; indiscriminate killing is not acceptable, it damages the family’s merit."

Yang Genshuo said to Yang Shi.

Because from the current perspective, the Demon Clan... is not harmonious, with internal chaos, some coming with purposes, some mistakenly entering the transmission channel, and some little demons... purely coming as refugees in the Demon Realm.

They cannot be treated equally.

If the Demon Clan were united, they might have besieged Bright City long ago.

Upon hearing the ancestor’s concerns about ’merit’, Yang Shi nodded.

"Ancestor, I understand, I will be careful when I take action."

Yang Shi obviously still had his own set of ideas.

Yang Genshuo did not say much, as long as Yang Shi did not harm the Yang Family’s merit.

Currently, the Yang Family’s merit has reached 4895, just 105 points short of 5000.

"According to the previous game logic, there will be new gains upon reaching a whole number."

The Yang family continues to do good deeds, and merit will slowly increase, even without significant good deeds like enlightening an Innate Demon Seed, they can accumulate about 50 points a year.

Helping the poor and doing some charity work.

Yang Fushuo on the Spirit Miao Continent utilizes a portion of the profits from the Strange Pill Tower to specifically do good deeds, rescuing some loose cultivators or orphans of destroyed families, earning a little each year.

But these are minor paths, and even if done well can only change the fate of a few people.

Yang Shi’s merit is so high because he directly changed the fate of the cultivators and mortals of the entire Danai Dynasty.

Gaining 50 points a year, if unnecessary deaths of several Demon Clan members occur, causing a merit deduction, Yang Genshuo would be troubled.

Even though Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei as a combination are so suitable for the "Reverse Flow Technique", Yang Genshuo did not have them practice it, for fear of reducing the family’s merit.

He certainly knows that Yang Qiangzheng’s talent is more suited for the "Blood Soul Great Method", Lei Zhen taking him as a disciple, the two are simply a perfect match.

But... it’s against the heavenly order.

"For the accumulation of merit, our Yang family... still needs to be a benevolent family."

Small amounts add up, and once merit reaches a certain height, he can benefit greatly in the modern era as well.

Yang Genshuo recently adjusted the time between modern times and the game to be one month in the modern era, one year in the game.

To avoid missing some important information due to the rapid passage of time.

These years still require caution.

The Demon Clan and Night Demon Palace are coming aggressively, while the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect inexplicably shut itself off, making the current situation of the Danai Dynasty extremely difficult, one wrong step could lead to big problems.

Yang Genshuo steadily cultivated in the modern era, consolidating the strength of his newly advanced first layer of Qi Refinement for a month, before planning to consume the [Wisdom Fruit].

This is his divine item for rapidly increasing strength, more precious than any treasure.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan is too stingy, having picked all the fruit of the tree to feed that proud little Red Dragon, without giving a single fruit to the Yang family, you can’t even buy it.

"Hmph! Having a Life Divine Tree is so great?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I’ll plant one too!"

"Daoist... it’s all up to you!"

The laboratory over there had already been accelerated by his [Hand of Vitality] to grow some differentiable tissues, it depends on whether the Daoist can cultivate seedlings.

The time in the game flowed swiftly.

Yang Fujian convinced the Golden Core fifth layer Ancient Elephant brother to go with him, to spar with other Demon Clan, and secretly searched for information on the Flood Dragon Demon and the Giant Claw Demon.

Yang Fuqing and her disciples used their Spirit Beasts to survey the Demon Clan throughout the dynasty, roughly understanding some of their movements.

In this, she received one bad news and one good news.

The good news is that the space channel to the Demon Realm has finally closed.

The bad news is... there are far more Demon Clan members than she had estimated.

The detected large and small demons numbered in the tens of thousands, while the undetected ones were unknown.

The once Devil Wind Forest... is now truly living up to its name.

Every day demonic winds billow, all kinds of Spirit Plants are tainted with demon energy, undergoing some peculiar mutation.

This news caused great distress to the cultivators of the Danai Dynasty.

Because most of the Demon Clan’s little demons... are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, while the Human Clan does not have that many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This puts the Danai Dynasty’s Human Clan at a distinct disadvantage not only in high-level combat but also at the Foundation Establishment Stage and even in the Qi Refinement realm compared to the Demon Clan.

The disparity in strength is immense.

The only advantage held by the Human Clan is Bright City, but now... it’s almost becoming an isolated city, and cultivators have to venture out in groups.

Fortunately, not all demon clans have to oppose the Human Clan, but now it’s hard to distinguish between good and bad demons, so they can only adopt a mindset that if one isn’t of our race, their heart is certainly different.

Yang Shi takes advantage of the intelligence gathered by Yang Fuqing, and with Cat Soul Feather, secretly leaves the city to capture those who commit evil among the demon clans, then sends them into the space channel...

Of course, these are all Foundation Establishment Stage or lower-level demons. As for Golden Core Stage demons... he and Cat Soul Feather can only avoid them.

It’s not that Cat Soul Feather is weak, but at this level... it’s hard to determine a winner in a short time.

If Cat Soul Feather gives its all, and Yang Shi uses a Fourth Grade Talisman to assist in slaying a Golden Core demon... but if they are too far from Bright City, they might be snatched by other hidden Golden Core demons if they become exhausted.

Cat Soul Feather still has 8 lives, so it can afford to be a bit reckless, but Yang Shi... doesn’t have many years left in his life span.

The two have a Heavenly Mechanism Talisman warning while they are outside, which has allowed them to avoid many powerful Golden Core stage demons.

Yang Shi’s actions have obviously been very effective, and the Yang Family has not only not lost merit but has also gained some merit by doing good deeds.

Meanwhile, Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, who stayed in the Sky Garden Dynasty, occasionally go to observe Lei Zhen Taoist of the space channel. They find that compared to the first time they saw the huge and chaotic Blood Sea, the Blood Sea is now even larger and highly concentrated, showing that those manipulating it are becoming more adept.

Evidently, Yang Shi’s strategy here has paid off, providing Grandmaster Lei Zhen with a significant surge of energy.

Since Lei Zhen refined that color-changing demon and brought it back to life, there have often been disputes between the Feng Family and the demon clan, but no one dares to forcibly break through Lei Zhen in the current state.

Especially the Feng Family, which has lost Feng Zhong and another family Golden Core cultivator over the years, as the son of the family head Feng Yi also died on Spirit Miao Continent.

The hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of Feng Lian were brought down by the unique magic artifact of Bright City, with the family’s divine beast being slashed down by Thunder Technique... the losses are extremely severe.

They have become more cautious in their actions.

Through the detections of Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei, Yang Genshuo has now identified a new faction: the Sky Garden Feng Family.

"The Feng Family is extremely large, with both direct and collateral lines spread throughout the entire dynasty, and among them, there are many talented and powerful family members."

"For the top strength in the Feng Family, those currently visible and regularly involved in decision-making are three Golden Core stages: Feng Yi and his wife Ye Liyue, and his brother Feng Lian, but it’s not ruled out that there are other Feng Family Golden Cores elsewhere."

"The Feng Family has deep foundations, using transmission arrays to profit from multiple worlds and obtain cultivation supplies, which is why they can nurture waves of experts even in the relatively spirit energy-scarce Sky Garden."

"In the collateral lines of the Feng Family, there are human-demon hybrids... but no hybrid experts have appeared yet, so some caution is needed."

Among the entire Feng Family, Yang Genshuo is most wary of Feng Yi and his wife Ye Liyue.

Two Heavenly Spirit Root top cultivators.

Feng Yi is at the ninth layer of the Golden Core, Ye Liyue at the eighth layer.

Two top geniuses, which is why they could have a son like Feng Xun.

"Yang Feng’s high talent is also related to these two people."

Yang Genshuo is actually a bit troubled now because Yang Feng clearly knows he is the son of Feng Xun, the grandson of the Feng Family head, but he is working for the Yang Family.

Fortunately, Yang Feng doesn’t mind, believing himself to be Yang Family’s member.

However, Yang Genshuo tries not to let him take action against the Feng Family, so as not to affect Yang Feng’s cultivation mindset.

Moreover, Yang Feng is now well hidden, and the Feng Family doesn’t know that Feng Xun left a son who was entrusted to Yang Fu before he died.

The human-demon hybrid also helps Yang Feng greatly conceal his identity.

"But... who exactly is Feng Ji looking for these days? Their divination on the True Dragon Ascension... is indeed a bit intimidating."

Yang Genshuo truly fears that the Feng Family might suddenly rise up and take down Grandmaster Lei Zhen, making it even harder for the Yang Family.

Facing the simultaneous assault from human, demon, and monster, the defense like Bright City is also difficult to withstand.

"I have to say, when Yang Shi originally invited Grandmaster Lei Zhen to guard, it was a brilliant move... after encountering constant setbacks over there, the Feng Family and the demon clan are no longer so harmonious."

It’s difficult to see them fighting amongst themselves, but by delaying the Feng Family and the demon clan’s progress, the Yang Family can find a way to straighten out the current situation in the Danai Dynasty.

The disunity among the demon clans provides many opportunities for the Yang Family.

In this stalemate, life suddenly entered a kind of... peculiar tranquility.

The demon clans don’t offend Bright City, Yang Shi hunts secretly, Yang Fuqing observes the dynasty in the shadows, Yang Fujian searches for other demon clans to practice swordsmanship, while Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei enjoy rare moments of peace in Sky Garden.

The Feng Family pours all their energy into whatever divination of the True Dragon Ascension they are pursuing, the demon clans are studying how to deal with Lei Zhen, and the demon clans... each governs their own affairs.

Just like that, half a year passed.

Yang Shi’s strategy of capturing bad demons unexpectedly increased the Yang Family’s merit significantly, and Yang Fushuo and Yang Qiangjin also gained considerable merit in Spirit Miao Continent this year.

It has now reached 4970 points.

"Just 30 points short... looks like they’ll reach 5000 this year!"

On this day, Yang Shi and Cat Soul Feather once again disguised themselves as demon clan members, following Yang Fuqing to capture bad demons...

This time they were hunting a demon clan known as the Earth-shattering Martial Ape, highly capable and extremely agile, perfected at the Foundation Establishment stage, almost reaching the Fake Pill realm, just one step away from Golden Core.

It is causing chaos in a mortal city.

This was an ordinary event, where some demons behave erratically, and such occurrences of demons disturbing mortals are frequent; they are the targeted objects for Yang Shi and Cat Soul Feather.

Last year, Ding Zhen had already started having the disciples of Xuan Stone Sect evacuate mortals to the Fierce Sun Dynasty, with some mortals already evacuated, although many are reluctant to leave.

Leaving one’s native land is difficult.

Especially for the elderly or toddlers, ensuring safe passage to the faraway Fierce Sun Dynasty is challenging, so many mortals still remain.

"Where do you think you’re running!"
