Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1220: Chapter 805: Sword Dao Immortal Cultivator, Sword Dao Martial Cultivator (Part 2)

At the very least, Yang Zhenshan knows that some Martial Artists can still contend with Immortal Cultivators.

Take Ding Qiu, for example; he poses a significant threat to Yang Zhenshan.

Without using the Green Glow Sword and the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace, Ding Qiu could almost fight him to a draw.

Ding Qiu’s blade intent far surpasses his sole gun intent.

This is normal, as Yang Zhenshan is no longer focused on gun intent, putting more energy and time into the Immortal Path.

Meanwhile, Ding Qiu has been meticulously refining his blade intent, and his sword exudes extreme danger.

Yang Zhenshan feels threatened, while Zhou Tianci and others don’t even have the courage to make a move in front of Ding Qiu.

According to Yang Zhenshan’s estimate, Ding Qiu’s current strength in the Spirit Source Land should rank just below Yang Zhenshan and may have even surpassed Yu Qingyi.

Honestly, this surprised many people, and even Yang Zhenshan did not expect Ding Qiu’s growth to be so terrifying.

The sword Qi exhibited by the woman ahead contained elements akin to Ding Qiu’s blade intent.

Of course, this woman’s strength is far greater than Ding Qiu’s, far beyond Ding Qiu’s current capabilities.

Just as Yang Zhenshan was gazing at the woman in green, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards Yang Zhenshan.

Her sharp gaze slammed into Yang Zhenshan’s heart like sword Qi, startling him.

The next moment, he returned directly to the Spirit Source Land.

“Damn, what terrifying perception!”

He had hidden well, completely concealed within the tree trunk, not leaving a trace of his aura.

Moreover, he was more than forty li away from that woman in green, yet she still sensed his presence.

Chu Lingxiao gazed at the inconspicuous mountain peak in the distance, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but then her brow relaxed, and she turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the battlefield not far away.

Earlier, she had perceived someone spying on her, but the feeling was vague, leaving her unsure whether her perception was accurate.

Yang Zhenshan watched from the Spirit Source Land for a while, confirming that the mountain peak he was on had no abnormalities, then stepped out of the Spirit Source Land again to observe the battle in the east.

The battle continued, and the sky was filled with waves of colliding auras everywhere. Although the most intense waves came from battles between Immortal Cultivators, the combat vibrations from those in the Martial God Realm were also extremely terrifying.

The winds surged. Although Yang Zhenshan was far from each battlefield, he could still feel the strong gusts of wind.

Yang Zhenshan observed each battle carefully, matching the figures he saw with the strong individuals he had heard about.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many people he could identify.

Martial God Realm experts and Innate Realm Martial Artists are entirely different tiers. Although Yang Zhenshan had heard of many Martial God experts in the Sea of Spirit, the information gained from hearsay varied greatly from reality.

This allowed him to identify few people.

Ultimately, he barely identified six people.

Duan Qingyun from the Xuanqing Sect, Yue Su from the Illusion Moon Sect, and Lu Fusheng from the Lu family—he knew these three, so he confirmed their identities immediately.

Then there’s Shan Yuan, Master of the Wuxiang Sect; his image is too distinctive—a bald old monk, recognizable at a glance.

Next is Sun Bugu from the Sun family; his sharp Gold sword Qi is quite distinctive, and since Yang Zhenshan knows a fair amount about the Sun family, he could recognize him.

Lastly, there’s Master Yuqian, the ancestor of the Beishi family; this person is reputed as the foremost below the Immortal in the Sea of Spirit, famous throughout. Yang Zhenshan recognizes his name immediately.

As for others, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t identify them.

The battle lasted a day, finally settling by the following morning, ending with the retreat of the Nether Prison Sect.

Yang Zhenshan wasn’t very clear on the specific result.

He only knew at least four Martial God Realm experts died in this battle, but regarding anything else, he was unaware.

Some Martial God experts disappeared amidst the fight, rendering observation impossible.

The battle between Immortal Cultivators should have seen a Sword Cultivator from Hidden Sword Mountain achieve victory.

Precisely because two Immortal Cultivators from the Nether Prison Sect were defeated, the battle came to an abrupt end.

With the great battle over, the area extending hundreds of li around the Ancient Relic Array lay in ruins; among the rolling hills, more than a dozen mountain tops were leveled, and many places were so pitted and uneven, you couldn’t discern their original appearance.

After witnessing the entire battle, Yang Zhenshan felt no fear but rather surging passion.

The stronger these powerful figures prove to be, the broader his future path becomes.

As for the impact of this battle, it would surely be immense.

The Three Sects and Twelve Families battled the Nether Prison Sect, with Hidden Sword Mountain emerging, but regardless of the outcome, the Sea of Spirit’s situation would undergo profound changes.

Of course, this presently has little to do with Yang Zhenshan and isn’t his concern.

The Ancient Relic Array had closed, and now it was time for him to clear out the Ancient Array.

Yang Zhenshan first entered the Ancient Relic Array, retrieved the Jade Token, left his aura, and then used the Pocket World Gate to arrive at the Yang family’s vineyard in Snow Valley Town. He left the Jade Token with Zhen Tao and retrieved the Pocket World Gate.

Then he followed his aura back to the Ancient Relic Array.

He already tested that even using the Divine Soul Seed and the Pocket World Gate to leave the Spirit Source Land, he could return from the Spirit Source Land to his initial entry point.

It’s a matter concerning the anchor points of the Spirit Source Land.

The connection anchor points between the Spirit Source Land and the outside aren’t the Pocket World Gate and Divine Soul Seed, but Yang Zhenshan himself.

Previously, Yang Zhenshan could only exit where he entered because his location served as the connection anchor between the Spirit Source Land and the outside.

Now, with the Pocket World Gate and Divine Soul Seed, Yang Zhenshan can traverse in and out of the Spirit Source Land using these, yet the anchor he leaves behind remains.

In simple terms, Yang Zhenshan himself is a passage connecting the Spirit Source Land and the outside. He can set the passage’s entry and exit at one place, then use the Pocket World Gate and Divine Soul Seed to go in and out of the Spirit Source Land without affecting his established passage.

Upon returning to the Ancient Relic Array, Yang Zhenshan’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at the lush forest and those ruined palaces.

“From now on, all of this is mine! Hahaha~~~”

Yang Zhenshan shouted with some excessive excitement.

He had prepared for years, and now finally entering the Ancient Relic Array again, a bit of excessive excitement was understandable.

However, he was only excited for a short while before calming down quickly.

With a thought, eighteen Green Wolves appeared before Yang Zhenshan.

The six wolf pups from ten years ago had now grown; although their strength didn’t match their predecessors, their prowess was equivalent to that of Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists.

Speaking of Mutant Beast growth, it also has advantages; once mature, they possess formidable strength.

Mutant Beasts like the Red Cloud Horse and Flying Slave Eagle, once mature, have strength comparable to Innate Realm Qi Sea Stage Martial Artists.

Upon maturing, Green Wolves possess strength comparable to Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists.

Yet for their strength to further enhance, they face much more hassle, necessitating consuming copious amounts of Spiritual Objects, making it harder than human cultivation.

Of course, this refers to Mutant Beasts, not demon beasts.

Mutant Beasts must cultivate a Cultivation Method to become demon beasts, while demon beasts can absorb sunlight and moonlight as well as Spiritual Energy from nature for cultivation.

Thus, there’s a fundamental distinction between the two.

Eighteen Green Wolves possessing Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artist strength, although lacking the Green Wolf King, still form a formidable force in the Ancient Relic Array.

“Split into three groups and kill all the humans here for me!”

Yang Zhenshan commanded coldly.

Although the Ancient Relic Array had closed, some might remain within the array.

To occupy the entire array, Yang Zhenshan must first clear out these people.

As for whether these people should die, sorry, that’s not a question Yang Zhenshan will consider.

To those harmless, he may approach with goodwill, but to those obstructive, sorry, whether you’re innocent or not is irrelevant.

Seizing the Ancient Relic Array and clearing it out concerns whether Yang Zhenshan can establish a foundation, whether everyone can obtain Spiritual Objects for breakthroughs, and the future development of the Spirit Source Land.

Even if facing a group of innocent, Yang Zhenshan would still raise his butcher’s knife without hesitation.

Humans need clearing, Mutant Beasts as well.

Everything obstructing his path must be cleared first.
