Becoming a true immortal through my descendents praying

Chapter 293: Chapter 281 Yang Shi’s Hundredth Birthday Banquet (Two in One)_2

“Hehe, speaking of unparalleled talent, one must mention the elder from the Yang Family, Yang Fujian, who created the Heavenly Level Swordsmanship, ‘Yang Family Sword’. He is currently a leading figure among martial cultivators and his future achievements will be no less than Vice Sect Master Yang.”

“The Yang Family also has Elder Yang Fuqing, who dominates the Devil Wind Forest with the Beast Taming Sect. The spirit beasts they control… releasing them could bring disaster to a dynasty.”

“Not to mention the two elders who have already reached the territory of the Upper Sect. I wonder what terrifying level of cultivation they possess now…”

“Sss~ Why does it feel like every member of the Yang Family is a person of great talent? Is this the legendary family protected by immense Qi Fortune?”

“It must be so!”

“Is it about time? Why hasn’t Vice Sect Master Yang appeared yet?”

While all the cultivators were gathered together to celebrate this grand occasion, Yang Shi, the star of this longevity feast, was not particularly jubilant.

Dressed in robust clothing, he stood tall.

Standing on the highest tower of Bright City, he gazed into the distance without joy or sorrow.

The cold, crisp wind blew, and strands of white at Yang Shi’s temples danced in the breeze.

“A century of lifespan has passed… and I have yet to find the next realm in martial cultivation.”

“Master, how exactly should I accomplish the rebuilding of the body…”

Yang Shi’s eyes were deep, reminiscing the words said by the Martial Saint before his demise.

“Yang Shi, there is great fear between life and death. If we martial cultivators want to enter the next realm, breaking the limits of lifespan, we must face death head-on and reconstruct a body like that of a cultivator!”

Last year, Yang Shi had reached Great Perfection in the Divinity Realm.

His strength was terrifyingly formidable; even demon beasts at the Foundation Establishment Stage were mere toys in his hands.

But Yang Shi had reached a bottleneck, and his strength was no longer growing at all.

He learned in battles, sought various treasures, and still he did not know how to rebuild his body.

All his strength lay in this body, and to abandon it would mean instant demise.

A mortal without a Spirit Root, if not blessed with special talent, has a maximum lifespan of only a hundred years.

Yang Shi was not afraid of death but he feared dying in vain.

“This body is no longer as stable as it was in my youth… Daily rigorous cultivation is needed to maintain my current strength.”

“I need to find the way to the next realm soon.”

A century lifespan… For Yang Shi, it was a curse; he had to admit he was aging… his bodily functions were declining.

His golden age was no more.

Yet even so, Yang Shi’s determination in seeking the Dao remained unwavering!

Just as he encouraged the young cultivators of the Danai Dynasty,

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Hu~

An elder efficiently leaped up from below and shouted:

“Old master, everyone is waiting for you.”

Yang Shi turned around, looked at Yang Hu whose face was layered with wrinkles, and gently patted his shoulder.

“I know, Hu Zi… let the youngsters call me from now onward.”

“They are too hasty in their actions, I don’t feel assured, I can still serve you for another twenty years!”

“Hahaha~ you, you never like to accept old age.”

“Old master, I’m only a year younger than you!”

“Alright, alright, if you prefer, you may stay by my side.”

“Hehe~”

Old man Yang Hu laughed as innocently as before.

His talent was average, his strength had plateaued at the innate grandmaster level, and now with declining vitality, he no longer had the power to advance, with only 20 more years to his lifespan.

“Old master, are you not happy today?”

“Just some thoughts.”

Hu~

Warm golden rays of light descended from the sky.

[Blessing: Vitality]

[Blessing: Gathering Spirit]

[Blessing: Calming Heart]

[Blessing: Concealing Heaven’s Secrets]

[Blessing: Bloodline Activation]

Yang Genshuo sprinkled multiple blessings on Yang Shi, and upon feeling them, Yang Shi’s face lit up with a pure smile like when he first witnessed the divine might of the ancestor at the age of eighteen.

Indeed, with the care of his ancestor, what couldn’t he achieve?

“Thank you, ancestor, for your blessings. Yang Shi will surely succeed! To extend another century of lifespan!”

“Keep smiling, and go down with Hu Zi, everyone is waiting for you.”

“Yes!”

With blessings from the ancestor, Yang Shi was once again filled with strength!

The white hair at his temples could not hinder his heart’s pursuit of the Dao!

Seeing Yang Shi converse with the ancestor, Hu Zi also hurriedly bowed deeply.

“Yang Family branch member Yang Hu pays respects to the ancestor!”

Yang Genshuo, looking at Yang Shi, had a face full of a loving smile.

“Seeing you grow from a youth to an elderly man… I feel time has passed so quickly.”

This speed of passing time gave Yang Genshuo a sense of the world’s impermanence.

Whether Yang Shi achieves a new realm no longer mattered… it filled Yang Genshuo with strength just to see the first Family Head of the Yang Family persisting in his beloved pursuits as he reached the age of a hundred.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Go for it, Yang Shi!”

At that moment, a notification appeared on the screen.

[Yang Shi has only mortal bloodlines, the effect of Bloodline Activation is weak, Comprehension +5, effect lasts one year.]

This was the new blessing acquired by Yang Genshuo, from Yang Qiang.

This child, who had been going with his two masters to other minor worlds for tasks for 20 years, witnessed an ability in a mysterious place… and thus unlocked this blessing.

[Blessing — Bloodline Activation: Activates the bloodlines within the body to unlock potential, stronger bloodlines awaken rarer abilities, effect lasts one year, 100 incenses per use.]

This blessing consumes a considerable amount of incense, and it is typically not used on members of the Yang Family without extra bloodlines, but today, being Yang Shi’s centennial, Yang Genshuo still offered these congratulations to this diligent first generation Family Head.

“Yang Qiang is now the top producer of [Incense] for the Yang Family.”

The primary source is—opening new maps, which has broadened the Yang Family’s horizons.
