Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  "I'm sorry to have worried everyone." Yang Lei looked at the concerned expressions of the crowd and felt deeply moved.

  "It's good that you're out, it's good that you're out."

  Yang Lei looked at Yang Yue and Yang Qingshu, both of whom had made great progress in their cultivation. Yang Yue had already entered the fourth stage of Wu Wang, while Yang Qingshu had stepped into the first stage of Wu Wang. This made Yang Lei feel that the Kong Xuan Cave was indeed powerful.

  "Xiao Kai, what exactly did you encounter in there? Why did it take you so long to come out?" Yang Wudi asked.

  This is a topic of great concern to everyone.

  "Kong Huan Shu."

  "What? You've encountered the Illusory Mouse?" Yang Wudi was shocked. Encountering the Illusory Mouse meant that he had already entered the deepest part of the Illusory Cave, a place where only the founding ancestor of the Yang family had ever been before.

  Yang Lei nodded: "Now that the illusion of the Empty Fantasy Cave has disappeared, there is no need to worry about exhausting one's spiritual energy and dying when entering the Empty Fantasy Cave."

  "You... you broke the illusion array inside? This... how is this possible, even a martial god wouldn't be able to do it." Yang Wudi was shocked. The illusion array deep within the Empty Illusion Cave meant something, and as the eldest of the Yang family, he understood its significance more than anyone else. This array was incredibly powerful, and without its interference, the Yang family would have been much stronger than they were now. Once the array's interference was lost, the Empty Illusion Cave would become a true sacred place for cultivation, allowing the Yang family disciples to advance by leaps and bounds.

  Yang Lei rolled his eyes, he couldn't tell him that he possessed the Eye of Reality, all illusions couldn't escape his legal eye, so he broke through the illusion array. These things, and that Illusion Annihilation Pearl, absolutely cannot be said.

  "Because I am not affected by the illusion, I can break through the illusion array." Yang Lei could only explain it this way, and as for other things, there was no need to say more, saying too much would easily reveal flaws, and the fact that he was not affected by the illusion was indeed true.

  "Not affected by illusions, it was like this from the start."

  Although it is unclear why Yang Lei was not affected by the illusion, the only explanation for Yang Lei's dispelling of the illusion can be understood in this way.

  "What did you see inside the empty cave? What's in there?" This is what everyone was curious about.

  Yang Lei looked at everyone: "This is probably not good to say, in case it gets out, the impact on our Yang family will be great."

  "Xiao Kei come with me." Yang Wudi only then remembered that this matter was of great importance, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. The Hollow Cave could be said to be the foundation of the Yang family.

  Yang Yue and others wanted to know what was going on, but they also knew it was a big deal and didn't say anything.

  Yang Lei followed Yang Wudi to a quiet room and saw that Yang Wudi had set up an array, only then did he feel at ease.

  "Grandpa, this time our Yang family is going to rise up."

  "Xiao Kai, tell me honestly, what did you see in the Empty Illusion Cave?" Yang Wudi asked seriously.

  "Lingquan."

  "What?" Yang Wudi almost fell to the ground, Lingquan, what is that? Yang Wudi naturally knew it all too well. A spiritual spring, even some small sects didn't have one. Only large sects and major schools could have a spiritual spring. One spiritual spring can cultivate countless experts, making a sect prosperous for generations. Although this statement was somewhat exaggerated, if a school had a spiritual spring, they would absolutely be able to rise to prominence within a few hundred years.

  If the Yang family's Hollow Spirit Cave really has a spiritual spring, then within fifty years, the Yang family will absolutely become the true masters of the Qingyuan country, and the other three major families and the imperial court will inevitably be suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe.

  "You're not joking, do you know what a spirit spring is?"

  Seeing Yang Wudi's skeptical attitude, Yang Lei also expressed understanding, after all, Lingquan was too important.

  "Grandfather, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go in and see for yourself. Otherwise, do you think our Yang family's Empty Spirit Cave would be so full of spiritual energy?"

  "If what you're saying is true, then our Yang family has indeed been blessed by the heavens." Yang Wudi saw that Yang Lei didn't seem to be lying and believed him too.

  "Xiao Ke, this matter is of great importance and must not be leaked out. If those major sects find out, our Yang family will definitely suffer a great disaster." Yang Wu Di said seriously and solemnly. This Lingquan is a treasure, and it's also a heaven-defying treasure that can make the Yang family soar to new heights, but it may also bring about the downfall of the Yang family. As the saying goes, "Disaster and fortune are intertwined", this is exactly what it means.

  If the Yang family's possession of the spiritual spring is exposed, it will definitely stir up a bloody storm.

  "Don't worry, Grandpa, I understand these things." Yang Lei nodded.

  "Now let's go to the Empty Illusion Cave and see if it's really a spiritual spring. If it is, we must set up an array to protect it and can't let it leak out, or else there will be big trouble." Yang Wudi was clear in his mind that this spiritual spring was a treasure, but it could also be a huge disaster.

  "Good." Yang Lei nodded.

  "Lao Wu, let's open the Void Illusion Cave." The two of them arrived in front of the Void Illusion Cave once again, with Yang Wuhuan standing off to the side.

  Yang Wuhen nodded, although he didn't know what to do with the empty cave again, but he also guessed some of it, probably related to Yang Lai's experience inside.

  "Void Hollow, Open."

  Three people enter together.

  "Be careful." Yang Wuheng was quite tense, it wasn't his first time entering the Illusory Cave. The scenes he encountered the first time were still vivid in his mind, and every time he entered, he had to go through a severe test.

  Yang Lei smiled and said: "Fifth Grandfather, no need to be so tense, the illusions in here have all been broken by me."

  This Illusory Pearl is the core of the Empty Fantasy Cave's formation. Without it, the illusions within the cave naturally disappear as well.

  Although the illusion array is gone, there is still pressure here, and the deeper you go, the greater the pressure. However, for Yang Lei, it's nothing, of course, the pressure that Yang Wudi and others encountered was different from what Yang Lei encountered. This empty fantasy cave also has a characteristic: the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the pressure encountered.

  Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhen are both in the realm of martial sainthood, so the pressure they face is naturally not something that Yang Lai can compare to.

  After walking for a while, Yang Wudi and Yang Wuheng were both sweating profusely, almost unable to hold on, while Yang Lei was still the same as before, without any signs of fatigue.

  "I'm telling you, Xiao Hui, how much further can we go? This is really exhausting, the pressure is too great. If we go in any further, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to hold on," Yang Wuhen panted, saying that as they progressed, the pressure was extremely high and the consumption was also extreme. Every step forward would increase the pressure by a fraction, but it wasn't like the previous illusion.

  "It's not much further, we've already walked about half the way." Yang Lei estimated and said.

  "What did you say, we've only walked a short half of the journey?" Yang Wudi was also stunned, having only walked less than half, and at this rate, they would be exhausted before reaching their destination. "Are you sure you're not intentionally messing with us?"

  Yang Lei heard this and couldn't help but cry with laughter: "Great grandfather, Fifth Grandfather, I'm telling the truth, it's really that far from here. It took me almost three days to get there when I went."

  "You little brat, you're not even breaking a sweat or panting, are your internal energies more powerful than ours?" Yang Wuhuan simply sat down and slowly regulated his breathing.

  Yang Lei nodded, his true energy was indeed more majestic than that of ordinary people. The Great Perfection of the Martial King was absolutely stronger than the mid-term of the Martial Emperor, and more majestic.

  "Big brother, I think we should just forget it. In our current state, it's impossible for us to make it there." Yang Wuhen said after catching his breath, "We'd better head back. Even if there are some incredible treasures inside, we wouldn't be able to take them out anyway. Besides, no one can even bring anything out from in there."

  Yang Wudi nodded in agreement, the illusion was gone, but the pressure remained. It was unrealistic to think of entering that place, and now every step was difficult. The pressure inside was getting bigger and bigger. If what Yang Lui said was true, and there was still a long way to go before reaching the Spirit Spring, then it was simply impossible to hold on.

  "What's wrong, two grandpas? Are you going to retreat with your tails between your legs?" Yang Lei said, looking at the two of them.

  "It's no good, the pressure here is too great, and I don't know how you little brat can be so abnormal, not worrying about the pressure here at all." Yang Wuhuan said with some envy.

  Yang Lei looked at Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhen, and also felt that his own pressure was not too great. There were two possibilities: one was that he had a special physique and had practiced the Iron Shirt, making his body strong; the second was that he had obtained the Illusion Pearl, which had a great effect on him and could withstand the pressure here.

  "Those two old men, are we going back now?" Yang Lei said again.

  "Go back, if that thing really exists, there's no need to set up any formation protection anymore. Although the illusion is gone here, the pressure is still there. Unless they're all as abnormal as you, they can't get in." Yang Wudi waved his hand and said.

  "Oh."

  After the three of them had rested, they headed back along their original route.

  "Remember this, kid. This matter must not be leaked out, or else the Yang family will be in danger." Yang Wudi reminded him once again as they parted ways.

  "I know, Grandpa, you've said it many times already." Yang Lei said helplessly.

  "This isn't serious at all."

  After seeing Yang Lei leave, Yang Wuhen asked: "Big brother, what's going on?"

  "It's better if fewer people know about this matter. In short, if outsiders find out, our Yang family might be in danger of being exterminated, so you'd better not ask."

  Seeing his elder brother not speaking, Yang Wuheng also had no way out and left in a huff.

  …………

  Out of the empty cave entrance, Yang Lei walked on the main street.

  It had been a long time since Yang Lei went to Master Zhang Yi's place, and he walked towards Zhang Yi's store.

  At this moment, a luxurious carriage drove by.

  Yang Lei took a glance and found that the person in the car was actually Wei Wu Wang Yang You, his cheap father in this world.

  He's back, didn't he go into seclusion? Has his cultivation broken through? I remember Yang You's cultivation had already reached the realm of Martial Saint Great Perfection before, has his cultivation broken through again and entered the realm of Martial God?

  What attitude will he have towards himself after he comes back? Will he try to win himself over and clear his own name, or will he continue to ignore him? If he really wants to win himself over, what should he do? Should he agree or disagree? For a moment, Yang Lei's emotions were complicated.
