Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1588: Chapter 980: Divine Pill Battle (Part 2)

This Bodhi Tree is over three zhang tall, but its crown is huge, nearly seven or eight zhang wide.

With this strike, Yun Xiao effectively destroyed this rare Bodhi Tree.

He wasn’t aiming to destroy the Bodhi Tree; he was aiming to seize the Bodhi Seeds.

Just as he chopped down the trunk of the Bodhi Tree, Kou Ta rushed forward and grabbed the trunk with his six Vajra arms.

“Yang Pill Master, catch!”

Kou Ta hurled the massive tree crown towards Yang Zhenshan’s position, and Yang Zhenshan quickly moved in to receive it.

“Pocket World Gate, open!”

Instantly, a light gate more than ten zhang high enveloped the Bodhi Tree, and in the blink of an eye, both the light gate and the Bodhi Tree vanished without a trace.

Yang Zhenshan felt the Bodhi Tree smoothly entering the Spirit Source Land, which made him sigh with relief.

This was his plan.

Time was pressing, and to avoid wasting it, he chose not to pick the Bodhi Seeds one by one but to toss the entire Bodhi Tree into the Spirit Source Land.

Though digging up the Bodhi Tree was impossible and would waste even more time, Yun Xiao’s sword strike made it simple.

While this could be seen as trying to fish by draining the pond, they couldn’t afford to worry about that now.

Securing the Bodhi Tree successfully, Yang Zhenshan felt relieved at heart.

Their initial target was achieved; now they would see if there could be more gains.

The four of them didn’t separate but rushed inside the grand hall.

Just then, Yun Ge opened the Pill Furnace, and the round Nine Tripod Divine Pill inside exploded with brilliant light and rich pill fragrance upon the furnace’s opening.

Yang Zhenshan took a single breath of the fragrance and felt his whole body tremble, as if all his cells were activated.

They entered, and Yun Bi and Yun Fan instantly became vigilant.

But Yang Zhenshan ignored them and rushed to the nearby shelf, taking everything on it and throwing it into the Spirit Source Land.

Though he coveted the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, he suppressed his greed at this moment and didn’t fight Yun Ge for it.

As for taking things from the shelf, it was because he had noticed some Jade Scrolls there earlier.

Compared to one Nine Tripod Divine Pill, he naturally wanted its elixir recipe more.

Having the recipe could mean possibly refining Nine Tripod Divine Pills in the future.

Thus, these seemingly inconspicuous items on the shelf became his second target within the array.

“Why haven’t you secured the Divine Pill yet? What are you waiting for?” Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but scold seeing Yun Ge hadn’t secured the Nine Tripod Divine Pill.

Yun Ge’s face looked very unpleasant, with his round face dark and gloomy like lead powder, his deep eyes venomous.

“It has spirituality!”

“What do you mean?”

Yang Zhenshan was a bit puzzled, but then saw Yun Ge pulling at the Nine Tripod Divine Pill.

The hand he conjured tightly gripped the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, yet the Divine Pill struggled vigorously.

“Darn it, Divine Pill has a Spirit!”

None of them expected this; the Divine Pill having spirituality was an old myth, but none there had seen it before.

Having spirituality means having independent consciousness, and independent consciousness means it won’t willingly be consumed or controlled.

Just like Spiritual Artifacts, their spirituality makes them hard to tame.

Yun Fan and Yun Bi hurried forward to restrain this Divine Pill.

However, despite their combined efforts, they couldn’t suppress the Divine Pill.

“Darn it!”

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but curse quietly.

Time was running out; they had no more time left.

As Yang Zhenshan thought of helping, a piercing laughter echoed, “Haha, what kind of treasure is this!”

Then, a dark gray spell light rushed straight for the center of the pill furnace in the hall.

Caught off guard, Yun Ge and the others failed to block that spell light, watching helplessly as it impacted the pill furnace.

The pill furnace trembled, the forces restraining the Divine Pill intensified, and the Divine Pill broke free from Yun Ge and the others’ control in no time.

“Courting death!”

Yun Ge cursed in anger, controlling the giant palm to grab at the Divine Pill again.

Meanwhile, Yun Fan and Yun Bi charged at the figure outside the hall doors.

Soon, chaos erupted inside the hall.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression shifted, and he suddenly appeared beside the pill furnace, quietly sending it into the Spirit Source Land.

This pill furnace was undoubtedly a Spiritual Artifact, but its Spiritual Power was exhausted, leaving only a bit of incomplete power to barely suppress the Divine Pill.

Yang Zhenshan ignored the pill furnace earlier, but he didn’t mind taking advantage of it now.

Yang Zhenshan swiftly took the pill furnace, while the others flipped over the crumbling grand hall.

The one who acted earlier was none other than Zhang Mo.

The appearance of the Divine Pill, the pillar of light shooting into the sky, captivated everyone’s attention.

Zhang Mo was the first to act, but outside the hall, dozens had their eyes on this Divine Pill.

They might not know what this Divine Pill was, but they recognized it as a rare treasure.

“Catch it!”

“It’s a spiritual elixir, quick, catch it!”

“Kill!”

Yun Ge raged, madly attacking the enemies vying for the Divine Pill.

Another chaotic battle erupted.

“What do we do?” Yun Xiao leaned towards Yang Zhenshan and asked.

Yang Zhenshan kept his eyes on the Divine Pill, with its Spirit, dodging attacks left and right, leaving everyone unable to subdue it.

The current situation made aiding Yun Ge in capturing the Divine Pill nearly impossible.

He suddenly looked at Yun Xiao.

“Do you want to form a Golden Core?”

“What do you mean?” Yun Xiao was stunned.

Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu showed confused expressions.

“Just swallow it!” Yang Zhenshan’s eyes flashed with madness.

Aiding Yun Ge in capturing the Divine Pill was impossible, but helping Yun Xiao seize it might be achievable.

“Swallow it, and I’ll send you away! Whether you succeed depends on your luck!” Yang Zhenshan said.

At present, Yang Zhenshan faced two choices. The first choice was directly sending the Nine Tripod Divine Pill into Spirit Source Land, a choice full of risks. Primarily, he couldn’t guarantee that the Divine Pill could safely enter Spirit Source Land, it could likely be torn by the spatial distortion and enter the Void.

More energy means more pull from spatial distortion.

Yang Zhenshan had sent many things into Spirit Source Land without spatial distortion affecting them; that’s because the things he sent contained little Spiritual Power.

However, the Nine Tripod Divine Pill was different; it was a Divine Pill comparable to a Golden Core. Watching its darting evasion showed its terrifying Spiritual Power.

Thus, if Yang Zhenshan forcibly sent it into Spirit Source Land, it would likely vanish into the Void.

The second choice was to swallow the Nine Tripod Divine Pill himself, or let another swallow it.

Yang Zhenshan wanted to form his own Core through cultivation, unwilling to use the Fake Pill method now, as forming a True Pill was a longer-term path.

So he could only choose someone else to swallow the Nine Tripod Divine Pill.

Yun Ge wouldn’t work because he couldn’t send Yun Ge to Spirit Source Land; he didn’t trust Yun Ge.

Only Yun Xiao fit the bill.

Of course, if Yun Xiao chose to swallow the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, there would be many risks.

Firstly, they still couldn’t confirm the Nine Tripod Divine Pill’s effects, whether or not it could truly facilitate Fake Pill Core formation.

Even if Yun Xiao swallowed the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, Yang Zhenshan would face great risks in sending him into Spirit Source Land; Yun Xiao might end up in the Void.

Finally, there’s the Fake Pill’s drawbacks; after forming a Core, cultivation would hardly progress, and its increased difficulty in comprehending Divine Skills would often make a Fake Pill cultivator weaker than most Golden Core cultivators.

“Not to mention what happens after consuming the Divine Pill, but if you swallow it now, I have only a thirty percent chance to safely send you off!”

“Do you want to take the risk? It’s your call!”

Yang Zhenshan solemnly stated.

Yun Xiao’s face changed again and again as he gazed at the Divine Pill darting in the air, his mind swirled with thoughts.

Is there a choice?

In fact, he had no choice.

Even now, he’s over two hundred and eighty years old, meaning his lifespan would only last another twenty or thirty years.

Twenty to thirty years!

He actually had no chance left for Core Formation!

This might be his best opportunity now.

Even a Fake Pill is a Golden Core; it could extend his lifespan by over two thousand years.
