Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1822: Chapter 1002: The Tree Wishes for Stillness, Yet the Wind Will Not Cease

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Ten Thousand Treasures Sect did not immediately erupt in war, although Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion repeatedly denounced Treasure True Monarch of Ten Thousand Treasures Sect, even declaring that Treasure True Monarch must pay with his life, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion consistently exercised restraint and did not engage in actual conflict with Ten Thousand Treasures Sect.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion also understood that now was not the time to go to war with Ten Thousand Treasures Sect; if these two major forces went to war, the only beneficiaries would be other forces.

However, the seeds of animosity between the two sides have already been sown, and their future relationship is bound not to be as harmonious as it was in the past.

Ten Thousand Treasures Sect originally belonged to a neutral force, not participating in the disputes among various factions, but this time they had developed animosity with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and in the future, they are very likely to be dragged into the depths of war because of this.

Yang Zhenshan’s concern for this matter was only superficial; it’s not that he didn’t want to know more detailed insider information, but he was far away in the Western Regions, unable to keep up with the real-time changes in the situation in the Central Region.

Nevertheless, he still perceived that Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Ten Thousand Treasures Sect had no intention of going to war, which reassured him quite a bit.

If Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Ten Thousand Treasures Sect went to war, the impact would be enormous.

Even though the Yang Family Blessed Land resides in the Western Regions, it would still be considerably affected.

Currently, Yang Zhenshan hopes to maintain a relatively stable situation, at the very least ensuring that Jade Capital remains in a stable environment, and as much as possible prevents Jade Capital from becoming involved in chaos.

Time flows like water.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

In the quiet chamber of Longevity Hall, Yang Zhenshan sat cross-legged on his mat, chanting the Golden Light Divine Spell, with golden light swirling around him, like waves lapping one after another, each wave stronger than the last.

In front of him, the Divine General Chessboard was also enveloped in golden light, with golden shadows of Divine Generals visible across its two-foot-wide surface.

Over the past five years, nearly a hundred Golden Armor Divine Generals have been added to the Divine General Chessboard. Now, he possesses two hundred and twenty-one Golden Armor Divine Generals, although the number is still not large, all these Golden Armor Divine Generals are Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The most significant aspect is that Divine Soul Hall has already nurtured the first Yin Soul Ghost General, who, in life, was Bai Xiaoyun, the unfortunate one who died during the battle at True Yang Immortal City, besieged to death by the army of Ghost Soldiers. Fortunately, before her death, she managed to escape onto the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat, and afterward, her Divine Soul was brought back to Spirit Source Land.

Her Divine Soul was placed within Divine Soul Hall, and after over ten years of nurturing with Yin Qi, it finally transformed into a Yin Soul Ghost General.

The first Yin Soul Ghost General bred by Divine Soul Hall holds some special significance, representing Spirit Source Land’s capability to nurture Yin Soul Ghost Generals, also signifying that Yang Zhenshan will, from now on, have a path to continually acquire Yin Soul Ghost Generals.

Along with the Golden Light Divine Spell Array of Wuzhen Taoist Palace, it implies that he can continuously cultivate Golden Armor Divine Generals in the future.

Bai Xiaoyun is just the first, but with the first, there will be a second, a third, all the way to the ten thousandth, the hundred thousandth.

The rest is a matter of time.

Spirit Source Land does not lack Divine Souls; everyone possesses it, simply understood as soul.

Ordinary people without any cultivation have only a soul, whereas Immortal Cultivators and Martial Artists who have cultivated the soul possess a Divine Soul.

Approximately, it’s Golden Body Realm Martial Artists and late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators who possess Divine Souls.

Ordinary souls can also be transformed into Yin Souls, but the transformation probability is not high; in comparison, the probability of Divine Souls transforming into Yin Souls is much higher—the stronger the Divine Soul, the more powerful the Soul Power after transformation.

Like Bai Xiaoyun, who was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in life, hence after death, her Divine Soul only needed over ten years of nurturing to become a Yin Soul Ghost General.

If it were ordinary souls transforming into Yin Souls, it might take over a hundred years to evolve into a Ghost General, possibly never becoming a Ghost General at all, owing to the yin lifespan limitation of Yin Souls.

The population of Spirit Source Land is only a few million, but Spirit Source Land boasts a large number of Martial Artists and Cultivators, who will inevitably face death sooner or later.

It’s now the spirit source year one hundred seventy-nine, meaning from the time Yang Zhenshan began mass migrating populations to Spirit Source Land, over one hundred fifty years have passed.

The earliest group of people entering Spirit Source Land are now nearing two hundred years old.

Many among this group have long died for Spirit Source Land, and quite a few have died during Spirit Base Casting and Golden Body Formation, while others’ cultivation has consistently remained at Innate Realm, resting in peace after living out their lifespan.

It’s not just other individuals; even An Yuxing, Qu Changkong, Liang Shengze, and others have reached the end of their tenure, with time set to successively take them, but their Divine Souls will remain in Divine Soul Hall, ultimately becoming Yang Zhenshan’s Golden Armor Divine Generals.

Concerning this, they have no objections whatsoever; they are even very willing to extend their lives through such means.

For cultivators, being buried isn’t the best conclusion; regardless of how advanced their cultivation is, irrespective of what level they have reached, they refuse to pass into oblivion in the world just like that.

Even after becoming Golden Armor Divine Generals, they are no longer themselves; they are still willing to exist in the world in this way.

Yang Zhenshan’s mind is absorbed in the Divine General Chessboard, sensing each Divine General’s Divine Thought, feeling an extremely chaotic sensation.

The essence of these Divine Generals is actually similar to Ghost Soldiers; they are all a kind of existence akin to puppets.

However, they differ greatly from Ghost Soldiers, possessing their own thoughts, having self-awareness.
