Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1082: Breakthrough, New Divine Skills

The three thousand great paths, each one contains many dao intents, and each kind of dao intent possesses several divine skills.

For instance, Body Transformation is considered a divine dao intent of the Path of Void.

Similarly, Lin Qihe’s Void Shuttling is also a divine dao intent of the Path of Void.

How many dao intents are there in this world? No one can say clearly, not even the Taoist Master could estimate.

The depth of the Dao is immeasurable, unimaginable, invisible.

The Path of Void is the same.

Yet Yang Zhenshan still feels he has touched the core dao intent of the Path of Void.

”I am the Void!”

Yang Zhenshan waved his sleeve, fingers like white jade gently tracing in front of him, and the next moment, a three-foot-long Void Rift appeared before them.

It’s truly unbelievable that he could create a Void Rift out of thin air.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Golden Core Cultivators can shuttle between the real world and the Void, but they cannot create Void Rifts.

Back when the Sun Cave Heaven fell, it created many Void Rifts.

A vast and spacious grotto heaven fell, squeezing against the real world, which caused the creation of numerous Void Rifts.

Golden Core Cultivators, though powerful, are far less substantial than a vast and spacious grotto heaven.

Shuttling between the Void and the real world is akin to having a door that one can enter and exit, Golden Core Cultivators only need to open the door and do not need to manufacture a door.

Creating a Void Rift is equivalent to making a door, or more accurately, it is like forcibly smashing out a door on a wall.

Yang Zhenshan not only can smash out a door but also can seal the door back up.

He simply reached out, and the Void Rift disappeared.

”Sealing Void, haha~~ quite an impressive ability!”

”But what surprises me even more is the Immortal Palace! I didn’t expect the Immortal Palace to have such an ability!”

Yang Zhenshan’s mind moved, and his heart spirit immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, where now a round and smooth bead appeared.

The bead is tiny, yet large.

It’s small because in front of Yang Zhenshan’s divine soul, it’s like a glass bead.

It’s large because it is the Life Realm Immortal Palace, with its Spirit Source Land spanning thousands of miles and the Immortal Palace suspended above the nine heavens.

At this moment, Yang Zhenshan truly understood the might of the Life Realm Immortal Palace.

The greatest power of the Life Realm Immortal Palace isn’t what it contains within, but its ability to seal the Void.

In the real world, it can seal the world barriers, preventing entry into the Void.

In the Void World, it can form enclosed spaces, preventing escape from these spaces.

The Life Realm Immortal Palace isn’t merely a Spiritual Treasure; it’s a Void Treasure.

The last time, Yang Zhenshan comprehended Body Transformation from the Life Realm Immortal Palace, and this time, he comprehended Sealing Void.

Both realizations came from the Life Realm Immortal Palace, not because it granted Yang Zhenshan these insights, but because he understood his divine dao intent through the characteristics of the Life Realm Immortal Palace.

Upon sensing the Void Dao Intent contained within the Life Realm Immortal Palace, Yang Zhenshan shook his head lightly.

”It’s a pity with my current mana, I can’t fully wield the power of this Spiritual Treasure, only grasp a bit of its energy!”

The rank of the Life Realm Immortal Palace is too high, its scale too large, beyond his current ability to control.

”But the harvest this time is already extensive, so extensive I almost can’t believe it!”

Yang Zhenshan grinned widely.

Not only did he comprehend the divine skill of Sealing Void, he also gained deeper insights into the Path of Void, and his cultivation has advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

In truth, he almost can’t believe it at this moment.

Before entering seclusion, he intended to try enhancing his cultivation, sensing he might be close to a breakthrough, but had no assurance on when it would occur.

Yet after entering seclusion, he unexpectedly immersed himself in the comprehension of dao intent.

It wasn’t the Withered and Flourishing Dao Intent, but the Path of Void.

Strangely enough, everything happened so suddenly, without any preparation.

Cultivation is like this, full of incomprehensible coincidences, yet these coincidences beneath are utterly reasonable.

Yang Zhenshan was unprepared, because he hadn’t foreseen this aspect.

But the fact is his comprehension and accumulation in the Path of Void granted him this epiphany, and his sixty years of cultivation provided the opportunity for breakthrough.

Sixty years is brief for Golden Core Cultivators but long for Yang Zhenshan.

Others may cultivate for sixty years with only slight improvement, whereas Yang Zhenshan’s sixty years have repeatedly surpassed limits.

Yang Zhenshan closed his eyes again, began operating his Golden Core.

Having just broken through, he also needs to stabilize his cultivation.

Furthermore, since he comprehended the divine skill Sealing Void, perhaps he should take some time to re-evaluate his understanding.

...

As Yang Zhenshan was stabilizing his cultivation, within the Immortal Palace, another wide array of Spiritual Energy Vortexes began to form.

The Spiritual Energy Vortexes surged mightily, covering the sky, and almost completely obscured the area above the Immortal Palace.

The crowd within the Immortal Palace rushed out to observe, though this time they were somewhat puzzled.

”Who is forming the core?” Yun Xiao asked.

The crowd looked confused.

They were aware when Xuanzhen was forming the core, but it’s been just three years, and someone else is forming the core, they aren’t certain who it is.

As the crowd was bewildered, a low voice sounded.

”It’s my grandfather!”

Luo Fengxia said.

Yun Xiao looked at him, slightly stunned, then lightly sighed, asking no more.

The Spiritual Energy Vortex continued, appearing similar to the scene when Xuanzhen formed the core, yet the contained downturn was now hard to conceal.

As expected, two hours later, the Spiritual Energy Vortex began dissipating, yet the thunderclouds hadn’t gathered.

Evidently, it failed.

Luo Cheng couldn’t even last until the thunderclouds formed.

”Enough, go tidy up,” Yun Xiao said to Luo Fengxia.

”Yes!” Luo Fengxia said with a nasal tone.

”Why did it fail?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, shaking everyone’s heart spirit.

Yun Xiao looked towards the sound, seeing Yang Zhenshan appear not far behind him.

”It’s Luo Cheng!” He explained.

Yang Zhenshan paused, ”What about Xuanzhen?”

He had just finished his cultivation, preparing to walk out of the Quiet Chamber, sensing someone forming the core.

Upon coming out, he witnessed the dispersal of the Spiritual Energy Vortex.

He thought it was Xuanzhen who had failed at forming the core.

”Xuanzhen successfully formed the core three years ago, now stabilizing his cultivation!” Yun Xiao said.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes brightened, nodding slightly.

He felt truly happy for Xuanzhen, yet the current occasion wasn’t one for joy.

Luo Cheng failed to form the core, resulting in death and destruction; he if laughed, it would disrespect Luo Fengxia.

”It’s Luo Senior, Fengxia, accept my condolences!” Yang Zhenshan spoke to Luo Fengxia.

”Thank you, True Monarch, for your concern!” Luo Fengxia bowed.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, ”Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to see Luo Senior.”

With that, he led Luo Fengxia into the Luo family’s pavilion.

Inside the Quiet Chamber of the pavilion, Luo Cheng had long lost his breath, leaving a hunched body and remnants of a soul.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the corpse, waved his hand to gather the remnants of the soul.

”I’ll take the remnants, perhaps in the future they can be converted to a Ghost Cultivator.”

Without intervention, this remnants of soul will dissipate shortly; but placed in the Divine Soul Hall, they might become a Ghost Cultivator.

Yang Zhenshan has no means to allow a divine soul to retain the True Spirit while converting into a Ghost Cultivator, yet it doesn’t hinder him from nurturing Ghost Cultivators.

Luo Cheng, after all, was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, his remnants of soul still strong, and if converted to a Ghost Cultivator, surely would be of the Divine General rank.

”I understand, True Monarch, as you please!” Luo Fengxia replied softly.

Although taking away the remnants might seem disrespectful to the deceased, Luo Fengxia didn’t mind, as for Immortal Cultivators, death and destruction are the ultimate end.

Regarding posthumous matters, Immortal Cultivators aren’t greatly concerned.

Immortal Cultivators only care about living longer, not what happens to their corpse and divine soul after death.

Conversely, descendants care more about the remains and remnants of their ancestors.

No one wishes for their ancestor’s remains to turn into Corpse Ghosts, hence descendants properly inter the remains.

Luo Fengxia knew Yang Zhenshan wasn’t harming his grandfather’s remnants of soul, thus he allowed Yang Zhenshan to take them.
