Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1860 -1119: Divine General’s Path (2)

“Where is it?” An Nianjiu frowned.

Xuanzhen chuckled, “It’s on you!”

“On me?”

An Nianjiu examined his own body; naturally, he wasn’t looking at the outside, but the inside.

The Divine General belongs to the Yin Soul, and his body is actually a soul body.

“Ghost Cultivator?”

“It could be, but it might not be!”

“Not?”

Xuanzhen assumed a profound and mysterious appearance, and said, “Golden Light Divine Spell!”

An Nianjiu was taken aback, then fell into contemplation. After a while, he lifted his head suddenly, “You want to use me as an experiment?”

“How can you say that? I just want to help you find a path belonging to the Divine General!” Xuanzhen grinned, but his expression was full of ill intent.

Xuanzhen certainly wouldn’t harm An Nianjiu; he genuinely wanted to help An Nianjiu find a path belonging to the Divine General. Of course, he also wanted An Nianjiu to help him verify some ideas.

The foundation of these Divine Generals is the Golden Light Divine Spell, and they have two cores: one is the soul body, and the other is the soul seed nurtured by the Golden Light Divine Spell. The two merge into one, thus becoming the Divine General, a special existence.

An Nianjiu also knew that Xuanzhen wouldn’t harm him, so he seriously considered Xuanzhen’s idea.

Most Divine Generals have relatively thin thinking. Although they have self-awareness, their thinking seems to be restricted, much like the Ghost Soldiers of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, who also have self-awareness but are weak, mostly following orders and acting rigidly.

Divine Generals are similar, but they are different in that the limitation of their thinking is not a shackle—it can be opened and expanded.

An Nianjiu actually lacked fundamental knowledge and understanding of the path of cultivation, because he had lost the memory of An Yuxing, retaining only some instincts and habits.

“The Golden Light Divine Spell is the foundation of the eight Divine Spells, and also the root of the other seven Divine Spells. If you want to understand the Golden Light Divine Spell, you must first understand the origin of the eight Divine Spells!”

“Just in time, I have nothing better to do, so I’ll teach you how to cultivate the Golden Light Divine Spell!”

Xuanzhen explained the basics and esoteric meanings of the Golden Light Divine Spell, pouring his understanding of the Golden Light Divine Spell into An Nianjiu.

At first, An Nianjiu listened with bewilderment, but as Xuanzhen explained, he began to understand a little.

Whether he can cultivate the Golden Light Divine Spell is still unknown.

But he truly was considering whether he could find a path belonging to the Divine General in the Golden Light Divine Spell.

And that is exactly what Xuanzhen wanted—the result he desired was a method for a Divine General to self-improve, so he wouldn’t have to spend his energy and time on nurturing Divine Generals anymore.

…

Yellow Springs Hall is not just a palace; it refers to a vast Earth Abyss, and this Earth Abyss is where ghost cultivation takes place.

Just as Xuanzhen and others were heading to Yellow Springs Hall, a new master was also arriving there.

Xiang Yuan, the Vice Island Master of Ghost Island in the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, now appointed as the Hall Master of Yellow Springs Hall.

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect has three halls, but in addition to the three halls, the sect also has other institutions, such as Corpse Sea, Ghost Island, and Inconstant Land.

Inconstant Land, Corpse Sea, and Ghost Island actually refer to Grotto Heaven; Inconstant Land is the main Grotto Heaven of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and its core.

The Soul Hooking Hall, Soul Refining Hall, and Soul Control Hall are these three great halls within Inconstant Land.

Corpse Sea, as the name suggests, refers to Grotto Heaven specifically used for storing Yin Soldier Blood Puppets, much like a warehouse for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, with countless Yin Soldiers inside the entire Grotto Heaven.

Similarly, Ghost Island also has countless ghost cultivators. The Unpredictable Ghost Sect is named as such not because they have many Yin Soldiers, nor because they cultivate all Yin Attribute Cultivation Techniques, but because they were once a ghost cultivation sect.

Ghost Island is truly the origin of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and its most mysterious place.

Each of the three major halls has a Hall Master, but the Island Master of Ghost Island is only one—the one and only Unpredictable Island Master, also the Sect Master of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

In other words, Ghost Island is an institution directly managed by the Sect Master of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, with a status even greater than the three major halls.

However, Xiang Yuan, as the Vice Island Master, couldn’t compare to An Wusheng, the Hall Master of the Soul Control Hall, because Ghost Island doesn’t have just one Vice Island Master but four, and Xiang Yuan ranks last among them.

Inside Yellow Springs Hall, Xiang Yuan sat on the main seat, looking down at the crowd of ghost cultivators below.

The doors of Yellow Springs Hall are made of gloomy wood, with ghost and god entangled vine patterns, black threads shimmering with eerie blue phosphorus glow. The pillars inside are covered in Mystical Iron, flanked by bronze candelabras with ghostly green flames. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, with seams oozing Yin energy, condensing into thin, weak ghost fires roaming around. Amidst the sinister atmosphere of the hall lies a three-part solemnity.

In front of the main seat, there is a black jade table, with a bronze cauldron on top, a swirling soul smoke within, forming a banner shape.

Currently, besides Xiang Yuan, there are over twenty ghost cultivators in the hall, all possessing the cultivation of Ghost General, each exuding a formidable aura.

These ghost cultivators are the executives of Yellow Springs Hall. However, half of the higher-ups of Yellow Springs Hall were buried outside the Yang Family Blessed Land when Xuanzhen captured thousands of ghosts, focusing on capturing Ghost Generals with deep cultivation.

Therefore, when the executives of Yellow Springs Hall followed Yellow Springs Ancestor to the expedition, most became prisoners of Xuanzhen, with only a small number escaping back.

After returning, they lived in fear day by day, afraid the Yang family might come seeking revenge.

For this reason, they continuously sought help from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, which ultimately sent Xiang Yuan to preside over Yellow Springs Hall.

Since Yellow Springs Hall has already joined the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and become its fourth hall, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect naturally would not abandon it.
