Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1355: Chapter 868: Taoist Palace’s 8 Divine Spells (2)

”Sir, there’s news from Lotus Heart Valley!”

At this time, a Foundation Establishment Ghost Soldier came behind Zhang Mo and reported.

”What news?”

”Deacon Mo’s array seems to have been destroyed by someone!”

Zhang Mo frowned slightly, ”Destroyed by someone? What do you mean?”

”Now the array and the Blood Pool have fallen into the hands of the Qingli Six Families. The Qingli Six Families are clearing the remaining arrays and Blood Pool sludge! Deacon Mo is also missing!”

Zhang Mo’s frown deepened.

”Did Qingli Six Families discover Mo Xuanyu?”

He wasn’t worried about Mo Xuanyu; he was afraid that Mo Xuanyu’s exposure would affect his plan to infiltrate the Qingli Dynasty.

”We are not sure yet!”

”Go investigate, we must find out what’s going on!”

”Yes!”

The Ghost Soldier withdrew, Zhang Mo’s brow was tightly locked. Although the situation with Mo Xuanyu was unclear, it would certainly affect his plan.

Mo Xuanyu’s exposure of the Blood Pool and Array would certainly alert the Qingli Six Families.

And he originally planned to act in the next one or two years, but had to postpone the action.

Although his strength far exceeded Mo Xuanyu’s, the Qingli Six Families weren’t pushovers, with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, among whom several were late-stage Foundation Establishment, possibly even more powerful than him.

Therefore, he must be extremely cautious when dealing with the Qingli Six Families to avoid an unexpected defeat.

”This useless waste!” Zhang Mo cursed Mo Xuanyu in his heart.

...

On the northern peaks of the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhenshan and Xuanzhen naturally had no idea that Mo Xuanyu blamed Zhang Mo, nor did they know Zhang Mo was cursing Mo Xuanyu.

After five days of refining, Yang Zhenshan finally dispelled Mo Xuanyu’s Divine Soul Power from the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade and infused it with his own Divine Soul Power.

After refining the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, Yang Zhenshan felt even more repulsed by the thing.

Because the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade was filled with Yin Souls and Blood Evil Qi, which not only were of no benefit to him but could corrode his Divine Soul over time, potentially affecting his mind.

The Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade contained numerous Yin Soul Restrictions, scattered with hundreds of them, but most seemed ineffective, with only two Divine Soul Restrictions still active.

”It’s refined, what should I do next?” Yang Zhenshan asked Xuanzhen from afar via transmission.

”Just wipe out the restrictions on it!” Xuanzhen replied.

Yang Zhenshan sensed the two restrictions inside the Blood Jade, but not knowing which was Xuanzhen’s, he decided to remove them all.

As for who the other one was, he could only say it was someone relatively fortunate.

Removing the restrictions was easy; Yang Zhenshan controlled the Blood Jade to strip the restrictions away, and once separate from the Blood Jade, they quickly dissipated on their own.

While Yang Zhenshan was eliminating the restrictions from the Blood Jade, in a hidden cave within the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

The Ghost Woman, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes. The cave was dim, yet her eyes were extraordinarily bright.

”My Divine Soul Restriction is removed? Haha~~”

She laughed freely and wildly, her laughter echoing in the narrow cave.

After escaping from the Ancient Relic Array, she discovered that Mo Xuanyu hadn’t punished her Divine Soul Restriction, so she hid in the Yunxiao Mountain Range with a lucky mindset.

Her thinking was simple. With the Mystic Yin Soul Silence Scripture and the Three Yin Weaving Net in hand, her future was bright. Why continue following Mo Xuanyu around? It would be wiser to find a place to elevate her cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

So, she hid in the mountains for some ten years, and Mo Xuanyu, busy with setting up the Evil Blood Killing Array, had no time to bother with her since she was merely a Qi Refinement cultivator, not yet in the Foundation Establishment Stage, thus not worthy of his concern.

When Yang Zhenshan removed Xuanzhen’s Divine Soul Restriction, it happened to free hers as well.

”Hahaha~~~ I can reach Foundation Establishment now! Haha~~”

The Ghost Woman’s unrestrained laughter echoed in the cave.

On the other side, Xuanzhen also felt his Divine Soul lighten, as if an invisible shackle had disappeared.

Xuanzhen relaxed as if relieved of a heavy burden.

His feelings were not much different from the Ghost Woman’s; no one likes being controlled, nor having something that could annihilate their Divine Soul at any moment.

But his emotions were more restrained; no matter how happy he was, he wouldn’t show it.

Over thirty years of endurance, now he was finally free again.

Xuanzhen approached Yang Zhenshan, his expression rather solemn as he said, ”Thank you!”

Yang Zhenshan sensed his unusual demeanor but casually replied, ”We’ve been friends long enough; there’s no need for such formalities!”

”Haha~~” Xuanzhen laughed heartily.

The term ”old friends” from Yang Zhenshan stirred Xuanzhen’s heart anew.

The word ”friendship” was sometimes very worthless, as if it was meant for betrayal.

Yet other times, it was extraordinarily precious, just like Xuanzhen felt now, valuing Yang Zhenshan as more precious than anything he had ever encountered.

”So, how do you plan to deal with this thing?”

Yang Zhenshan withdrew his Divine Soul Power from the Blood Jade and handed it to Xuanzhen, curious about how Xuanzhen would handle the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade.

Xuanzhen grabbed the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade directly, but a layer of crystalline white light covered his hand, and once it was in his hand, the Blood Evil Qi it emanated was immediately sealed within, without leaking a trace.

”Weren’t you curious about my fortuitous encounter? Haha, today I’ll show you the greatest chance from my Taoist Palace!”

He said loudly, then sat cross-legged on a rock, placing the Blood Jade before him.

”Heaven and earth naturally, filthy qi disperses, mysterious emptiness in the cave, dazzling grand origin, the eight directions awe-inspiring gods, make me natural, spiritual treasure talisman command, universally informing the nine heavens, Qianluo Dena, dwelling in the mysterious void, cutting demons and binding evil, saving countless people...”

His voice like ancient bells resounded, leaving only the spell sounds buzzing through the heavens and the earth.

Yang Zhenshan felt his Divine Soul tremble,

Then golden runes emitted from Xuanzhen’s mouth, swirling around him and exploding into light points, like a shattered galaxy.

Subsequently, a golden wheel condensed behind him, radiating light so that the stubborn stones formed patterns and old trees sprouted branches.

Finally, with a ”swift!” the wheel gathered on his sword fingers, pointing at the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade in front of him.

For a moment, the resonance lingered between his fingers, and golden glimmers formed a ring around Xuanzhen’s feet, as though the heaven and earth were listening, dispelling all filth.

The Blood Evil Qi on the Blood Jade melted away like snow, turning into wisps of green smoke.

Yang Zhenshan watched the wisps of smoke rise, then enter Xuanzhen’s breath, vanishing without a trace.

Yet, Xuanzhen did not stop. He threw the purified Blood Jade to Yang Zhenshan, flew up, and the spell sound resonated in the world again, the sound like rolling thunder crossing the cloud sea.

The golden wheel condensed once more, radiating light so that distant mountain mists cleared, near trees shed old leaves for new green, and even moss within stone crevices glowed with glaze.

The wheel slammed against the sky with a bang, where countless golden rays leaked, casting the Daoist as if on a divine altar, with robes billowing as though ascending on clouds.

Yang Zhenshan was dumbfounded!

What the hell is this?

Did the old Daoist ascend to immortality?

Of course ascending immortality wasn’t possible; as the countless golden rays fell, the three White Bone Pillars emitting Evil Qi in the distance made creaking sounds.

The Evil Qi dissolved, the White Bone Pillars collapsed, and wisps of green smoke swirled toward Xuanzhen.

Xuanzhen opened his mouth and inhaled forcefully, and instantly all the smoke was drawn into his abdomen.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he gazed at Xuanzhen, noticing that Xuanzhen’s aura had strengthened significantly, seemingly boosting his cultivation by leaps and bounds.

”How was it?” Xuanzhen returned, floating, asking with a smile.

”What is this?”

”One of the Eight Great Divine Spells of the Taoist Palace, the Purify Heaven and Earth Divine Spell, can purify Evil Qi and Blood Evil Qi, saving thousands, redeeming thousands, pardoning thousands of ghosts!”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes widened slightly; this Divine Spell sounded quite formidable.

Wait a minute?

This is the Taoist Palace’s inheritance?

Isn’t the Taoist Palace only supposed to have the Myriad Phenomena Skill?

Oh, this old Daoist is really cunning, even guarding against me!
