Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1221: Chapter 806: The First Step to Emptying the Ancient Array

After receiving the order, eighteen Green Wolves howled twice, then dispersed skillfully in all directions.

Zhengshan was not worried about their safety because this was their home ground.

After releasing the Green Wolves, Zhengshan returned once more to the Spirit Source Land.

In Longevity City, inside the training grounds of the Protection Hall.

The five hundred fully armed soldiers of the Guardian Army had assembled, standing neatly in the training ground, awaiting Zhengshan’s orders.

The Spirit Source Land has two thousand Guardian Army soldiers, but only these five hundred are equipped with spiritual weapon-grade bows and arrows.

It’s not that Zhengshan didn’t want all the soldiers to have spiritual weapon-grade bows, but making them is truly too troublesome.

Under the leadership of the chief Artifact Refiner of the Spirit Source Land, Yang Chengzhen, the Artifact Refining Workshop could only produce thirty spiritual weapon-grade bows and arrows each month.

Over three years, a total of just over five hundred have been made, all of which are now equipped on the Guardian Army soldiers.

“Greetings, Family Head!”

Upon seeing Zhengshan, the soldiers immediately saluted.

Zhengshan nodded slightly, “At ease, everyone!”

“Yes!”

The resounding voice echoed, and the imposing aura spread out.

Zhengshan nodded in satisfaction.

“I won’t say much, just one thing: the Ancient Relic Array is fraught with danger. Once you enter, you must proceed with utmost caution.”

“Our goal this time is to acquire more cultivation resources, but I don’t want you to lose your lives in the array.”

The dangers of the Ancient Relic Array don’t need to be elaborated on. It covers an area of a hundred miles, with over ten thousand mutant beasts, each possessing Innate Realm cultivation, and many that rival the Green Wolf King of the past.

Besides mutant beasts, the array also has many poisonous insects and plants.

Even after thousands of years, despite dozens of attempts by the Three Sects and twelve families, they still couldn’t eliminate the dangers in the array.

It’s important to know that each time, 120 Heavenly Gang Stage Warriors were sent into the array.

Currently, the Spirit Source Land cannot gather 120 Heavenly Gang Stage Warriors.

However, the Spirit Source Land has a collective action advantage, allowing them to cooperate wholeheartedly, unlike those Heavenly Gang Stage Warriors who have to guard against and fight each other in the array.

“Very well! Next, we need to act according to the plan. You must prepare yourselves, as I will first go set up the Pocket World Gate!”

Zhengshan looked at Yu Qingyi, Zhou Tianci, and the others beside him.

Currently, the Spirit Source Land has nine Heavenly Gang Stage Warriors: Yu Qingyi, Zhou Tianci, An Yuxing, Liang Shengze, Qu Changkong, Ding Qiu, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Minghao, and Wang Mingzhe.

The first six are considered top-tier among Heavenly Gang Stage Warriors, while Yang Mingcheng, Yang Minghao, and Wang Mingzhe have only recently broken through to the Heavenly Gang Stage.

Especially Wang Mingzhe, who has rapidly advanced to the Heavenly Gang Stage after taking several Jade Marrow Pills, which was somewhat rushed.

Therefore, this time entering the Ancient Relic Array, Zhengshan didn’t let Wang Mingzhe go with them but rather had him stabilize his cultivation.

Zhengshan hopes Wang Mingzhe can grow quickly, ideally to break through to the Martial God Realm soon, because Wang Mingzhe is the most accomplished Pill Master in the Spirit Source Land after him.

If Wang Mingzhe’s cultivation reaches the Martial God Realm, he will be able to use Spiritual Sense and thus refine some Immortal Cultivator Elixirs.

As such, Wang Mingzhe is a key focus for Zhengshan’s training.

Once everyone was ready, Zhengshan entered the array again.

Prior to this, Zhengshan had already divided the array into regions, which he separated into seven areas.

The first area, the mine vein and caverns, is Zhengshan’s first target. The caverns harbor many gold and fire attribute mutant beasts, and if the Spirit Source Land wants to mine this vein on a large scale, they must first deal with the mutant beasts inside.

The second area is the lake in the southeastern part of the array. The lake contains many water attribute spiritual objects but is also home to numerous water attribute mutant beasts, making it one of the most dangerous areas in the array. Zhengshan has made it the second target.

The third area is the Immortal Cultivation Residence in the southwestern part of the array, which was the main activity area for Zhengshan last time. The danger level there is relatively low, and there are over a hundred residences with intact Guardian Arrays. Zhengshan aims to open all of them to see if there are any other treasures inside.

The fourth area is the Scripture Hall, which is also Zhengshan’s primary target. If it is possible to dismantle the hall’s array, it would be ideal; if not, then they will try to obtain as much cultivation technique from inside as possible.

The fifth area consists of seven Herb Gardens. These gardens used to be protected by arrays, but those have since been destroyed. The first people to enter the array always targeted these gardens.

Now, whether Zhengshan can gather the materials needed for Foundation Establishment Pills depends on how many materials remain in these gardens.

These gardens also contain many dangers; wherever there are Spiritual Medicines, there are mutant beasts guarding them.

Each of the seven Herb Gardens is guarded by either a powerful mutant beast or a group of mutant beasts.

The sixth area is the Sect Ruins, which are dilapidated palaces and towers. Zhengshan doesn’t have high hopes for these areas, as they have been looted numerous times, leaving mostly ruins with likely no treasures left.

The seventh area is the northern part of the array, where the Three Sects opened the array. This region, comprising a dense forest, has a complex environment with many mutant beasts and spirit grass and plants. Although it’s not as valuable as the Herb Gardens, there should be quite a few good things.
