After a cup of tea, Han Changming's tears wet his lapel. He wiped his tears, took two steps back, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Han Daohe's body.
"Grandfather, I will not let you down. I will work hard to cultivate and will definitely go further on the path to immortality."
Han Changming said solemnly, his eyes firm.
Han Daohe regards Han Changming as all his hope, and hopes that Han Changming can go further on the path to immortality. Han Changming will definitely not let Han Daohe down.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out.
"Come in and pay respect to Grandfather. Don't tell anyone about Grandfather's existence. This involves our family's secrets. Those who violate this will be severely punished."
Han Changming's tone was stern. If Han Daohe had not been concerned about the spies lurking in the dark, he would not have had to hide in Qianhu Peak all the time.
Ye Xin and four others walked in, knelt down, and kowtowed three times towards Han Daohe's body.
Han Changming cremated Han Daohe's body, put the ashes into an urn, and enshrined them in the mourning hall.
After seeing Han Daohe off, Han Changming was very sad. His parents were mortals and were old. They would pass away sooner or later. He had to experience the pain of losing a loved one again.
"Husband, why don't we go visit our parents and relax!"
Ye Xin saw that Han Changming was in a depressed mood and suggested.
In Han Changming's current state, it is difficult for him to practice, let alone make pills.
"Let's go visit our parents together! Let's spend more time with them now!"
Han Changming sighed and said that Han Benfu had already entered the foundation-building stage and he didn't need to worry about her. Han Benzhi and Han Benyong had been training in the market town for three years and had matured a lot.
Han Changming's family of six left Huludao and headed for Qingluo Island.
As soon as they left Huludao, Wang Yunzhong arrived with a team of monks from Tinghai Pavilion, and Han Daojing received them personally.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I am following the orders of our head brother to recruit three foundation-building cultivators from your Han family to follow us to the front line."
Wang Yunzhong spoke straight to the point, his expression serious.
"The front line? What's going on?"
Han Daojing was slightly stunned and confused.
Wang Yunzhong recounted the whole story in detail. The conflict between Taixu Sect and Qingyun Sect became increasingly serious. In the beginning, disciples of the two sects frequently clashed with each other, and the leaders of both sects did not take it seriously. However, the friction between the two sects grew greater and greater. When Lin Xuan, the only son of the leader of Qingyun Sect, was out, he was ambushed by disciples of Taixu Sect and was seriously injured.
What is even more terrifying is that there is intelligence that the Taixu Sect, the Lu family and the Huoyun Sect are going to join forces to deal with the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun Sect asked the Tinghai Pavilion for help. If the Tinghai Pavilion is unwilling to help, the Qingyun Sect will turn to the three major forces of the Taixu Sect and jointly deal with the Tinghai Pavilion.
Tinghai Pavilion had no choice but to agree to join forces with Qingyun Sect. While the three major forces of Taixu Sect had not yet taken action, Qingyun Sect and Tinghai Pavilion planned to strike first and recruit a group of cultivators from the affiliated forces to attack the affiliated forces of Taixu Sect.
"What? Attack the affiliated forces of Taixu Sect?"
Han Daojing looked embarrassed. This incident happened too suddenly and he didn't receive any news at all.
He knew that there were frequent frictions between Taixu Sect and Qingyun Sect, but he did not expect that people from Taixu Sect would ambush Lin Xuan. This was simply unbelievable.
Why would the disciples of Taixu Sect ambush Lin Xuan when there are so many other options? Isn't this deliberately provoking trouble? If they really wanted to attack Qingyun Sect, why would they ambush Lin Xuan and alert the enemy? It's illogical.
"The original intention of Taixu Sect was not to ambush Fellow Daoist Lin. It's just that Fellow Daoist Lin was unlucky and mistakenly fell into the ambush circle. The current situation is urgent. You must immediately send three foundation-building cultivators and ten Qi-refining cultivators to follow me. This is my order."
Wang Yunzhong explained while taking out the Tinghai Order.
The Tinghai Order is the certificate for Tinghai Pavilion to mobilize its affiliated forces, and it cannot be forged by outsiders.
If they disobey orders, the Han family will not be able to stay in the red algae sea.
Han Daojing hesitated for a moment, took out the communication disk, and typed in a spell: "De Ling, notify De Biao and De Lei to come to the meeting room. There is something important to deal with."
After a while, Han Debiao, Han Deling and Han Delei arrived. Han Deling was in the late stage of foundation building and had rich experience in fighting. Han Debiao was in the middle stage of foundation building and Han Deling was in the early stage of foundation building.
Among the Foundation Establishment clan members of the "Chang" generation, only Han Changming is good at fighting. Han Changjiong, Han Changxin, Han Changying, Han Changwu, Han Changshuo, and Han Changlu are not good at fighting.
Han Daohe had just passed away not long ago, and Han Daojing did not plan to send Han Changming to go. Moreover, Han Changming could refine the foundation-building pill, and Han Daojing would not let Han Changming take risks easily.
Han Daojing briefly explained the whole story and solemnly warned, "You three must obey orders and don't be impulsive. De Ling, you lead the team. De Biao, you must obey De Ling's orders, understand?"
This incident exposed a problem. The "eldest" generation of the Han family had not been well trained and did not have strong enough combat power. No matter how sophisticated their skills were, they were still little fat sheep in the eyes of others.
After passing this test, Han Daojing plans to train the clan members of the "Chang" generation.
"Yes, Uncle Daojing."
Han Deling and the other two agreed in unison.
Wang Yunzhong frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, isn't Fellow Daoist Han Changming here? It would be great if he could show up."
Since Han Changming entered the foundation-building stage, he has rarely lost. Wang Yunzhong is more optimistic about Han Changming. Han Deling and the other two are far less famous than Han Changming. Their strength may not be comparable to Han Changming.
"Changming's relatives have passed away. He has been a little depressed recently and is not suitable for fighting."
Han Daojing explained that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of becoming fat. Han Changming's performance in the past was too eye-catching, and Wang Yunzhong still remembers Han Changming to this day.
"Alright! We have to rush to the Chen family before the three major forces of the Taixu Sect take action and catch them off guard."
Wang Yunzhong said in a deep voice, his face full of murderous intent.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a flying boat with a shining yellow light flew out of Huludao and disappeared into the sky.
······
Qingluo Island, a vast manor.
In a spacious courtyard, Han Shan's family of dozens of people gathered together to drink tea and chat.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue sat in the first seat, while Han Changming's brothers and sisters sat beside them, their eyes filled with awe. The youngest brother was only one year old.
Han Shan currently has one wife, seven concubines, forty-three sons, and twenty-one daughters. The oldest son is sixty-five years old, and the youngest is only one year old.
He had always wanted to have another child with spiritual roots, but unfortunately he was unable to do so because of Han Changming. Han Shan became the mayor, and if all his grandchildren were counted, Han Shan's family had two hundred people.
Han Changming entered the foundation-building stage, and Han Shan no longer had to go out to sea to fish, so he had no worries about food and clothing.
Han Changming looked at his unfamiliar brothers and sisters, feeling a little amused and helpless. Han Shan was too fertile. After not seeing him for decades, Han Changming had dozens of brothers and sisters, as well as a large number of nephews and grandchildren.
"Chang Ming, Ye Xin, Ye Xue, we are all fine. Just take care of yourselves. You don't have to visit us often and delay your cultivation."
Han Shan spoke cautiously, with a hint of restraint in his tone. Han Changming left him when he was very young. Strictly speaking, he was somewhat unfamiliar with his son Han Changming. Especially when he learned about Han Changming's achievements, Han Shan became even more in awe of Han Changming.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa is gone."
Han Changming sighed softly, a look of sadness on his face.
After hearing this, Han Shan was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and burst into tears.
Han Changming's brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces all started crying. They were crying just for the sake of crying. Many of them had never met Han Daohe, so how could they have any feelings for him
In fact, it is a good thing that the cultivators and mortals of the Han family live separately. Otherwise, according to the reproduction rate of mortals, in a few decades, Han Changming would lose a brother or sister every now and then, and he would be busy attending the funeral and would have no time to practice.
Cultivators of immortality emphasize a clear mind and few desires. Having few desires does not mean having no desires. Immortality is the greatest desire of cultivators of immortality. On the road to pursuing immortality, cultivators will experience many things. Watching their loved ones pass away one after another while they are powerless to do anything about it is a very painful thing, but it is something that must be accepted.
Han Changming looked at the clumsy performances of his brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces and sighed softly. He did not want to be like them and die at the age of a hundred. He must go further on the path of immortality and master more powerful powers so that he can protect those he loves and those who love him.
Han Changming stayed on Qingluo Island for three days. He mainly chatted with Han Shan and Li Xue, and tried to show more filial piety to his parents while they were still around.
Three days later, Han Changming and six others left Qingluo Island.
After returning to Huludao, Han Changming was called by Han Daojing, who told him about Wang Yunzhong's visit.
"A war breaks out? Is the Red Algae Sea going to be in chaos?"
Han Changming frowned and said, "It's really a rainy day when it rains. Not long after Han Daohe passed away, unrest broke out in the Red Algae Sea. Are the five major forces going to go to war?"
Three years ago, he went to the Mu family to celebrate birthday. At that time, some guests talked about the conflict between Qingyun Sect and Taixu Sect. Unexpectedly, three years later, the situation has deteriorated to the point where it is difficult to control.
The outbreak of this war was somewhat inexplicable, and there were several suspicious points. How could Tinghai Pavilion trust Qingyun Sect so easily? The intelligence of Qingyun Sect must be correct? If the intelligence was wrong, Qingyun Sect and Tinghai Pavilion took the initiative to attack the affiliated forces of Taixu Sect. Wouldn't this give people something to blame
In other words, Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect deliberately found an excuse, and Lin Xuan being ambushed by Taixu Sect disciples was just an excuse, and this excuse was even fabricated.
To be honest, Han Changming was not surprised at all when the five major forces started fighting. Originally, the four major forces were in a state of balance, but then the Fire Cloud Sect suddenly appeared and became the five major forces. The balance had been broken. The Fire Cloud Sect had the support of the Lu family, and the other forces were unwilling to fight to the death with the Fire Cloud Sect. If the Fire Cloud Sect developed, it would definitely compete with other forces for the resources for cultivating immortals.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to take action first.
If the Han family had not acquired a small spirit stone mine, their development would not have been so fast.
"It's possible! The Red Algae Sea has been peaceful for too long. Four hundred years ago, a war broke out among the four major forces. Tinghai Pavilion took the upper hand and gained a lot of territory. Our Han family also took this opportunity to rise. It's still unknown whether this war will be a blessing or a curse. Changming, you guys should work harder and go to guard a few remote islands."
Han Daojing was not optimistic about this war. Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect joined forces to fight against the three major forces of Taixu Sect. They did not have much advantage and could at most gain some advantage. The longer the war lasted, the smaller the chances of winning for Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect.
Han Changming nodded solemnly, and after chatting for a while, he went back to rest.
He explained the matter in detail to Ye Xin and the other four, and ordered them, "Ben Fu, Ben Zhi, you will stay with me on Red Scorpion Island. Ye Xin, Ye Xue, and Ben Yong, you will stay on Qinghu Island. Things are a bit uneasy during this period, so be careful."
He hopes to use this opportunity to train his children. Of course, it would be best if there is no war.
The next morning, Han Changming's family of six split into two groups and flew towards different islands.
······
There is a deserted island over a hundred miles in size, with dense vegetation and a large number of trees growing on the island.
In a hidden cave, hundreds of monks gathered together. Ten foundation-building monks surrounded a yellow animal skin, discussing something in a low voice.
Han Debiao's face was gloomy. This time the two factions joined forces. The Han family sent three foundation-building cultivators, the Chen family sent Chen Yuanhua and Chen Yufeng, and the other five foundation-building cultivators were affiliated with the Qingyun Sect. The Mu family sent three foundation-building cultivators, led by Mu Guobin, and the other two foundation-building cultivators were from a family with the surname Wang.
The one with the highest cultivation level is Han Deling, who is in the late stage of foundation building, and the one with the lowest cultivation level is Chen Yuanhua, who is in the early stage of foundation building.
Over the past decade, many foundation-building cultivators of the Chen family have died, and their vitality has been severely damaged. Chen Hongming has not yet recovered. This time, when he heard the call from Haige, he could only send Chen Yufeng and Chen Yuanhua to fight.
According to the negotiation results between Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect, they were going to attack two immortal cultivation families, which were the die-hard affiliates of Taixu Sect.
"According to the map, one hundred and fifty miles to the east is the territory of the Yu family. According to intelligence, the Yu family controls twenty-five small islands and has five foundation-building cultivators. We have ten foundation-building cultivators. I suggest concentrating our forces to attack the Yu family's home base, Green Snake Island."
Han Deling pointed at the topographic map and analyzed slowly.
If they dispersed their forces, they could certainly plunder a lot of immortal cultivation resources, but it would alert the enemy. The Yu family would strengthen their defenses, which would make it more difficult for them to attack the Green Snake Island, which would not be a good thing.
"Green Snake Island is the home of the Yu family. The Yu family has been passed down for more than 500 years, so they must have some unknown means. I think we should just attack a few small islands and plunder some immortal cultivation resources. We should stop when we are ahead and not take risks."
An old man in a green robe with a goatee suggested this. His surname was Wang, his name was Zijiang, and he was in the early stage of foundation building.
The Wang family is no more powerful than the other three families. Wang Zijiang does not want to take too much risk. If it were not for the order from Qingyun Sect, the Wang family would not be willing to send troops!
"They are in the open, and we are in the dark. This is our advantage. I agree with Fairy Han. We should concentrate our forces and attack Green Snake Island. The Yu family has been developing for more than 500 years, and they must have accumulated a lot of treasures."
Mu Guobin disagreed and agreed with Han Deling's opinion.
Chen Yufeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree with Daoist Fellow Mu and Daoist Fellow Han. It is better to concentrate our forces. If we disperse our forces, we will be easily divided and annihilated."
