Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

53: Chapter 53 Great Harvest, Turbulent Times Rise at the Ruins!When Yuan Feng arrived at the Gu Family’s location, he saw three figures hovering in mid-air, their mana surging, each holding a Magical Artifact, continuously bombarding the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation, causing the surrounding area to rumble and shake.

These three figures were none other than Zhang Wenmin, Tang Xiangqian, and Tang Weibin.

These three fellows were also sly; upon seeing the Lin Family Old Ancestor display the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment Peak, they ran away without a word.

In their eyes, the Gu Family’s two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were already in dire straits, as the Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator of the Frost Path was extremely skilled at trapping enemies.

And to them, the Gu Family, having lost two of its clan-guarding Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, was just a piece of fat meat that could be torn apart at will.

However, they were cautious enough; they stayed outside the Gu Family’s residence for quite a while, ensuring that Gu Yannian and Gu Feng truly could not return before choosing to make their move.

When the Gu Family activated their clan-protecting grand formation and the Cultivators inside panicked, Zhang Wenmin and the other two knew they had it in the bag—the Gu Family’s Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were gone!

Thus, the scene Yuan Feng witnessed occurred.

But a starving camel is still bigger than a horse; the Gu Family was, after all, an established Foundation Establishment Family, and they still possessed some foundation.

The clan-protecting grand formation alone was of the Medium Grade Tier 2 level, even stronger than the Lin Family’s Frost Array, preventing Zhang Wenmin and the other two from breaking it for a while.

Seeing Yuan Feng arrive, a flash of joy crossed Zhang Wenmin’s eyes.

If they added Yuan Feng, this Foundation Establishment Great Demon with powerful combat ability, the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation would certainly not last long.

Delays lead to changes; they were all afraid that after the Lin Family Old Ancestor killed Gu Yannian and the other, he would turn around and come over to exterminate the Gu Family.

Therefore, they were eager to break the clan-protecting grand formation immediately, loot the Gu Family’s wealth, and then run back to Liming Town.

As for the affairs of the Lin Family, what did it have to do with them?

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; they were just ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, and their weak shoulders could not carry much of a burden.

”Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan, come quickly and lend us a hand,” Zhang Wenmin hurriedly transmitted his voice.

Yuan Feng glanced at him and nodded slightly; his intentions were similar to theirs.

They all wanted to take advantage of the gap before news of the Gu Family losing its Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators and the Lin Family’s great upheaval spread completely, to fish for some benefits.

As for the Gu Family, one could only say they were unlucky.

In the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak; if you don’t go to rob and compete, there are plenty of others who will.

Boom!

Immediately, Yuan Feng activated his Size As Desired Divine Ability, transforming to a hundred zhang in size, his yao power rising like flames around him, as if he had donned a suit of pitch-black Dou Zhan armor.

One after another, massive fist imprints carrying the might to destroy mountains and shatter peaks slammed continuously onto the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation, causing the Medium Grade Tier 2 array to tremble incessantly.

Zhang Wenmin also unleashed his Life-Bound Magical Artifact at this moment, which was a circular disk engraved with one hundred and twenty patterns, entirely dark cyan, carrying a thick aura of Jia Wood.

He was a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator of the Jia Wood Path, and the Cultivation Technique he cultivated was the 《Green Cypress Long-Endurance Art》; the immortal foundation he forged was the Rank 4 Jia Wood immortal foundation [Long-Endurance Cypress].

It took the meaning of the cypress tree being evergreen and dense, enduring drought and bitter cold; its superior immortal foundation was the [Proud Cold Pine], and it could be sublimated to the highest Rank 6 Jia Wood immortal foundation, the [Evergreen Tree].

Hum!

The Void Realm trembled, and the dark cyan disk vibrated, causing cypress trees to rise from the ground one after another like giant pillars bursting through the surface, with dragons and snakes rising in their path, slamming fiercely against the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation.

Tang Weibin followed closely behind, using the Mount Tai Dragon Transformation Art to manifest a central Mount Tai, which then gained sentience and transformed into a dragon; a massive dragon several hundred zhang long swung its tail and slammed down.

”Bing Fire roaring, light infinite!”

Tang Xiangqian shouted, and ten-zhang high Bing Fire ignited around him; a phantom of a fire bear appeared behind him, roaring at the sky.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, he held a crimson cauldron, his Blood Qi roaring and transforming into a stream of essence that shot out from his crown; the cauldron slammed down repeatedly, shaking the grand formation below.

Yuan Feng scanned the three of them, and he already had a calculation in his heart; among these three, the strongest was likely Tang Xiangqian, whose cultivation in the Bing Fire Path was very high.

Subsequently, he looked at the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation, which had dimmed significantly; his black yao power boiled, and he unleashed the Legacy Spell, Holding Up the Heavens and Shaking the Mountains, once again.

An Ancient Mountain, entirely pitch-black as ink, manifested in mid-air, held up by Yuan Feng, and pressed down upon the grand formation.

The other three also used their Spells at the same time; in an instant, a river of mana surged, and earth-yellow, crimson, and dark cyan lights illuminated the sky, all falling together.

Bang!

In the end, the Gu Family’s clan-protecting grand formation collapsed with a roar under the combined efforts of the three men and one ape; magnificent and imposing buildings shattered, and gullies crisscrossed the ground.

The massive Gu Family was almost reduced to ruins, no less than an extermination of the clan.

Yuan Feng took the lead, utilizing Leaping Mountains and Striding Peaks to head straight for the Gu Family’s treasury, with the other three following closely behind.

A quarter of an hour later, four rainbows shot out of the Gu Family, each flying in a different direction.

Yuan Feng flew for quite a while before choosing a secluded place with few people to stop.

This trip to Liquan Town could be said to have been very rewarding.

First, he looted the Lin Family’s treasury, and then he looted the Gu Family’s treasury; the resources on his person were overflowing with wealth.

”Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, talismans, Magical Artifacts, and some Cultivation Techniques.” Yuan Feng checked the spoils he had obtained in his Storage Ring and nodded with satisfaction.

With these things, the Chen Family would usher in a period of rapid development in the short term; he could almost already see the scene of clan destiny points pouring in.

It is worth mentioning that there were a few Cultivation Techniques in the Storage Ring that could reach the Foundation Establishment stage; after returning, Yuan Feng would hand them over to Chen Fufeng to become part of the Chen Family’s Legacy.

These Cultivation Techniques were the Rank 4 Cultivation Technique of the Frost Path, the Proud Snow and Frost Layering Art, the Rank 4 Cultivation Technique of the Ding Fire Path, the Ding Fire Burning Origin Art》, and the Rank 4 Cultivation Technique of the Gui Water Path, the 《Xingming Transformation Swamp Record》.

Among them, the Proud Snow and Frost Layering Art could forge the Rank 4 Frost immortal foundation, the [Ling Frost Snow], which was the exact Cultivation Technique practiced by the Lin Family Old Ancestor, Lin Siyuan; once used, snow would drift in all directions, and frost would fill the sky.

The Ding Fire Burning Origin Art》 could forge the Rank 4 Ding Fire immortal foundation, the [Burning Origin Fire]; this fire had the power to burn Lifespan and injure the Divine Soul, making it extremely vicious.

As for the 《Xingming Transformation Swamp Record》, it could forge the Rank 4 Gui Water immortal foundation, the [Nether Xing Swamp], which could transform Gui Water into a dark swamp, connecting to underground rivers, capable of corroding a Cultivator’s mana and damaging their Physical Body and Divine Sense.

The Chen Family’s Scripture Pavilion had a Rank 4 Gui Water Cultivation Technique, the 《Li Water Nourishing Things Sutra》, which forged the [Li River Water] immortal foundation; it was far from this 《Xingming Transformation Swamp Record》, and could be called two extremes.

The former had the effect of benefiting all things and nourishing living beings, while the latter pushed the Yin attribute of Gui Water to the extreme; when the mana was activated, a dark swamp seemed to manifest around the user, and its Dou Zhan ability was extremely powerful.

Excluding these three Cultivation Techniques that could reach Foundation Establishment, there were also three Tier 2 Magical Artifacts in the Storage Ring.

One was a Low Grade Tier 2 Frost Magical Sword, suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators following the Frost Path or the Gui Water Path.

One was a Medium Grade Tier 2 Soul-Burning Candle; when activated, it could manifest the Ding Fire Soul-Burning Flame, specifically for burning a person’s Divine Soul, but unfortunately, it was incomplete and could not exert much power.

The last one was a Medium Grade Tier 2 Profound Evil Great Halberd, forged from Profound Iron Stone Essence mixed with a strand of Medium Grade Tier 2 Fire Evil, which had already been pocketed by Yuan Feng to be used as his own weapon.

With this Medium Grade Tier 2 Magical Artifact Great Halberd, Yuan Feng’s attack ability had reached a new level.

If he were to face that Xue Wujiu again, he would use the Profound Evil Great Halberd and utilize the fire evil’s continuous burning ability to kill Xue Wujiu without needing to expend too much effort.

The latter’s entire repertoire of methods was used to buff himself; he possessed absolutely no offensive Magical Artifacts, and that string of twelve blood beads was merely an auxiliary type of Magical Artifact, capable of providing him with a continuous supply of Blood Qi.

It was just that, in the end, he was unable to outlast Yuan Feng; he was a move behind, and ultimately died miserably.

Just as Yuan Feng was checking his spoils, daring Cultivators walked into the Lin Mansion ruins one after another, all seeing the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect ruins beneath the Lin Mansion.

Consequently, the news that an ancient ruin had appeared in the ruins of the Lin Mansion in Liquan Town was spreading at a terrifying speed; in less than half a day, the entire Liyuan Commandery had heard of it.

One Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator after another descended, standing above the Lin Mansion, their Divine Sense constantly scanning, and the conclusion they reached left them stunned.

The area of the ancient ruins below was astonishingly large; the area occupied by the Lin Mansion was merely a drop in the ocean, likely not even one-thousandth of it.

”Could this be what remains after the destruction of a Golden Core Upper Sect?” A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator said with a trembling voice.

A Tier 3 Spiritual Vein could transform a region into a Blessed Land, classified as Low Grade, corresponding to the Purple Mansion level, sufficient to radiate for thousands of li.

A Tier 4 Spiritual Vein could upgrade a Low Grade Blessed Land into a Medium Grade Blessed Land, corresponding to the Golden Core level, with a radiation range of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of li.

As for the even higher Tier 5 Spiritual Veins, it is said that they can give birth to Innate living beings and can transform a Blessed Land into a High Grade level, with at least a million li of width, where the speed of cultivation can be said to be a thousand li in a single day.

Above a High Grade Blessed Land is the legendary Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven, which is no longer something that can be created by a Spiritual Vein.

It requires an existence with a sufficiently high status to merge their body with the heavens and earth, holding up the Blessed Land to rise into the Nine Heavens, experiencing the Nine Heavens tribulation, and only then can the Blessed Land finally be transformed into an Immortal Heaven, enduring for ten thousand generations without falling.

And the vast area of the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect ruins below was at least the scale of a Golden Core Upper Sect, and perhaps it was a major Sect that had produced an Immortal Dao Venerable, with a status even higher than that of a Golden Core Upper Sect.

In the current Great Qi, except for the top three Sects, the other Sects no longer have Immortal Dao Venerables to suppress their Luck, but they do have Golden Core True Monarchs in existence, sufficient to protect the Sect for ten thousand years.

”Everyone, we had better explore quickly; if a Purple Mansion True Person descends, I fear we won’t even be able to drink the soup,” one Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator said with an unreadable tone, waving his hand as his figure escaped into the ancient ruins below, beginning to explore.

Following his lead, one Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator after another transformed into rainbow light, escaping into the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect ruins, some in groups of two or three, and some alone.

Among the crowd of Qi Refining Cultivators watching from the periphery, there were also those who could not hold back; it was a Peak Qi Refining Cultivator.

He gritted his teeth, transformed into a streak of light, and flew into the ruins.

Now that a massive Opportunity had appeared before his eyes, he had to consider whether this was his only chance to reach Foundation Establishment in this lifetime; he was unwilling to miss it, and he wanted to give it a try.

After the first Qi Refining Cultivator entered the fray, in an instant, countless streaks of light appeared, a massive swarm of them, all rushing into the ancient ruins.

The Lin Mansion in Liquan Town had become the center where the winds and clouds gathered.
