Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1627: Chapter 1000: Vast Miles, Roaming the Void (Part 2)

Yang Chengmao didn’t feel troubled by this; on the contrary, he was filled with ambition for this expanded territory.

The larger the domain of the Spirit Source Land, the greater the potential for development, the more resources can be cultivated in the future, and the larger population it can support.

Vast for ten thousand miles, even larger than the Da’an Dynasty, enough to sustain hundreds of millions of people.

Unfortunately, the population of the Spirit Source Land currently barely reached two million.

…

Yang Zhenshan didn’t concern himself with the reactions from Jade City nor did he know the thoughts in Yang Chengmao’s mind. After releasing all the spaces of the Life Realm, he began to study the situation of the Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus of Taixu.

The Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus is the core of the Life Realm Immortal Palace. At this moment, the lotus has thousands of leaves, covering the entire lake surface. In the future, the Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus will also nurture flowers and seeds.

Both the flowers and the seeds are rare Spiritual Objects.

However, it requires hundreds to thousands of years to nurture the flowers and seeds.

Therefore, what Yang Zhenshan researched wasn’t this, but the Dao Rhyme and power contained within the Twelve Golden Crystal Lotus, which is the power of Taixu.

The entire Life Realm Immortal Palace is a Magical Treasure containing Taixu’s power,

Taixu’s power exists between “being” and “non-being,” neither a physical entity nor pure void, its form is like non-matter, its essence like Taixu, yet it can incubate all things and connect Yin Yang.

With three thousand Great Daos, Taixu’s power forms the foundation of many, like creation, Yin Yang, reality and illusion, reincarnation, etc.

Both the main world and the small world of the Grotto Heaven are essentially incubated from Taixu.

“Taixu exists between being and non-being, it is the origin of creation, the foundation of Yin Yang, the hidden image of reality and illusion, the extension of space!”

“The Life Realm Immortal Palace derives from Taixu, and my mastery of it shall be based on the Path of Void!”

“But comprehending the Path of Void is too difficult!”

“Indeed, I haven’t delved deeply into Taixu, so how can I comprehend the Path of Void?”

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenshan’s figure flashed and he arrived in the boundless Taixu.

Yet, the Taixu he perceived this time was entirely different than before.

Previously, he felt Taixu was a void, but in fact, it contains a lot of substance.

Yet these substances lie between existence and non-existence; a strong Spiritual Sense can allow him to perceive these substances.

More accurately, it’s not substances, but a Qi Mechanism.

All things have a Qi Mechanism, Taixu can also be understood as a type of Qi. The denser Qi Mechanisms are very conspicuous in Taixu, while those sparse are not noticeable in Taixu at all.

Of course, this is the feeling Yang Zhenshan had after advancing to the Golden Core Realm; previously, he couldn’t perceive these breaths at all.

Hence, being in Taixu allows one to accurately capture the main world’s position and judge its specific location through the density of the Qi Mechanism.

Furthermore, traversing in Taixu is much easier than in the main world; a Golden Core Cultivator can easily travel thousands of miles in the main world by shuttling through Taixu in an instant.

Just like Yang Zhenshan’s teleportation ability before; its essence is also similar to the Golden Core Cultivator traveling thousands of miles. It’s just that he relied on Spirit Source Land before, and now he doesn’t need to rely on it anymore.

Yang Zhenshan sat cross-legged in Taixu, releasing his Divine Soul Spiritual Sense to perceive everything from Taixu.

A profound and mysterious feeling emerged in his heart. Although it couldn’t let him understand the Dao Intent of the Path of Void, it gave him a lot of understanding of Taixu.

After a long while, he suddenly stood up; his eyes flashed with golden light, gazing at the concentric Qi Mechanisms rippling like water waves.

His figure roamed in Taixu, and his thoughts searched within the Qi Mechanism.

Places with dense Qi Mechanisms are lands rich in Spiritual Energy; the denser the Qi Mechanism, the slower the speed of shuttling through Taixu. Conversely, the sparser the Qi Mechanism, the faster the speed through Taixu.

After just a few breaths, Yang Zhenshan had already arrived deep within the Wanhua Mountain Range, feeling those dense Qi Mechanisms.

The Wanhua Mountain Range is indeed the blessed land of the Wanhua Domain, with countless hidden Spirit Veins.

He circumvented those Spirit Veins and wandered for a while but suddenly stopped.

Because he discovered someone was watching him, in Taixu.

This~~

Yang Zhenshan released his Spiritual Sense, searching for the slight Qi Mechanism that just appeared.

Golden Core Cultivators can achieve having no leaks, meaning they cannot let others discover their existence in Taixu.

No leaks mean not exposing any Qi Mechanism; without any Qi Mechanism leaking, it is naturally impossible to perceive their presence.

However, achieving no leaks doesn’t mean one can perfectly hide oneself. Once any action is taken, a Qi Mechanism will be exposed, no matter how weak it is, it can make others aware of it.

Yang Zhenshan noticed a Qi Mechanism had just appeared nearby. It was a very weak Qi Mechanism, but it didn’t escape his Spiritual Sense perception.

“I humbly ask the senior to reveal yourself!” Yang Zhenshan bowed and said politely.

Indeed, as he perceived, not far in front of him, a phantom slowly emerged.

A phantom, not a real image.

Because in Taixu, one cannot see with the eyes nor hear with the ears, making it impossible to clearly see the other’s appearance or hear their voice.

What Yang Zhenshan used to speak earlier wasn’t sound, but Spiritual Sense transmission of thought.

It was expressed using Divine Soul Power.

Not being able to see the real appearance isn’t important; the external image of the Qi Mechanism can equally determine a person’s identity, sometimes even more reliably than appearance.

“Who are you?”

“Uh, I am Yang Zhenshan, may I ask the senior’s esteemed name?” Yang Zhenshan felt a bit awkward, like being caught in the act of doing something illicit.

In truth, he wasn’t doing anything illicit, just curious, wandering around the Wanhua Mountain Range to see how many strongmen were hidden within.

Unexpectedly, he encountered an unknown Golden Core Strongman so soon.

“Yang Zhenshan!” The person was slightly stunned, “Why are you wandering around my Dao Field?”

“Dao Field!” Yang Zhenshan gazed at the rippling Qi Mechanisms, which were very dense, likely a Blessed Land with a Spirit Vein possibly reaching Third-rank Middle Grade.

“I just entered the Taixu for the first time after forming my core, so I was curious and wandered around. If I disturbed the senior, please forgive me!”

This matter was indeed his fault. Someone roaming around one’s domain would surely prompt one to check and inquire.

Upon hearing this, the person said, “Since that’s the case, why not come over to my place for a visit?”

“This doesn’t seem appropriate!” Yang Zhenshan hesitated to decline.

An unknown Golden Core Cultivator inviting him, he didn’t dare readily agree.

“I am Zhongli Yue, you should have heard of me as Heavenly Treasure True Monarch, Guest Elder Yang?”

Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts turned, astonished: “Heavenly Treasure True Monarch!”

“That’s right, now do you dare to come over for a visit?” Zhongli Yue said.

Yang Zhenshan laughed, “So it’s Heavenly Treasure True Monarch, I apologize for my rudeness! With the senior’s invitation, it would be my honor to follow.”

“Then come along!”

Subsequently, Zhongli Yue led the way out of Taixu, with Yang Zhenshan closely following behind.
