Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1379 - 880: Mutant Beast, Flying Boat
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, eight Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, and over a dozen Second-Order Mutant Beasts.
Upon advancing to the Second-Order, Mutant Beasts typically balloon in size by several times. For instance, the Green Wolf measured just over one zhang in length during the First-Order, yet it surges past three zhang long at the Second-Order.
The Golden Feathered Fire Crow follows suit—its wingspan barely reached four chi at First-Order, but in the Second-Order, it spans more than four zhang.
This isn’t some mere crow; it’s essentially a Peng Bird!
The Cloud Tiger Cub matches this pattern too; at Second-Order, it towers over two zhang tall at the shoulder, a genuine behemoth.
As this fearsome horde of massive beasts emerged, silence gripped the entire Yang Family Town, their overwhelming aura sending shivers through every heart.
"What’s going on?"
"That many mutant beasts!"
"All of them Second-Order mutant beasts!"
"Heavens! Where did these mutant beasts even come from?"
Countless folks fought the impulse to bolt, stumbling backward, while others stood rooted like statues, pale as ghosts.
Panic spread, yet no full chaos erupted, thanks to the Yang family guards and those hired by Yang Family Town who swiftly restored order.
Yang Zhenshan guided the group skyward onto the mutant beasts’ backs, ignoring the crowd’s shock, and declared steadily: "Let’s go!"
He and Yu Qingyi perched on the Green Wolf King’s broad back, spacious enough for sitting or even reclining comfortably.
The rest mounted Second-Order mutant beasts too, some solo, others in small groups per beast.
The Cloud Tiger Cubs, for example, each carried a single rider—huge yet perfectly built as battle mounts.
One by one, these colossal beasts soared aloft, grandly charging toward the Illusion Moon Sect.
The moment they vanished beyond the horizon, Yang Family Town burst into frenzy.
"Those were pure Second-Order mutant beasts! Utterly horrifying!"
"The Yang family wields such immense power!"
"No surprise folks call the Yang family the top clan—those claims hold true!"
"Did anyone catch that? A few looked like Martial Gods!"
Shock, thrill, and relief washed over the onlookers.
In the Sea of Spirit, the Yang family enjoyed solid fame, mostly riding on Yang Zhenshan’s exploits, especially his bold slap to the Xuanqing Sect at their gates.
Thus, the Twelve Families treated the Yangs with respect, steering clear of provoking this Spiritual Artifact-wielding Immortal Cultivator.
Still, that glory belonged solely to Yang Zhenshan; the family as a whole lacked broader prestige.
Folks often dismissed the Yangs as upstarts with thin roots, no match for ancient lineages.
So admiration aimed squarely at Yang Zhenshan himself.
But the commotion didn’t stop at Yang Family Town; every settlement the beast-riding group passed overhead ignited in similar pandemonium.
Upon reaching the Illusion Moon Sect, the sect itself detonated in uproar.
Yue Qing waited outside the Illusion Moon Sect, gaping at the Second-Order mutant beasts and Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, utterly dumbfounded.
"Master Yang, you’ve delivered an enormous shock!" she told Yang Zhenshan, her face a mix of emotions.
She’d once questioned White Jade City’s reality, but now belief was absolute.
More than ten Golden Body Realm Martial Artists alongside over ten Second-Order mutant beasts—this lineup was downright fearsome.
Even the Illusion Moon Sect couldn’t muster such might.
Raising Second-Order mutant beasts proves as tough as forging Golden Body Realm Martial Artists.
The Illusion Moon Sect possesses just three Second-Order Illusion Moon Foxes currently.
Does the sect avoid breeding more Second-Order Illusion Moon Foxes?
No—resources simply fall short.
How does Spirit Origin Land rear so many Second-Order mutant beasts? Yang Zhenshan pours in the necessities.
Spirit medicines and spiritual fruits go without saying, plus the essential Spiritual Spring Water.
Crucially, Beast Blood Pills refine mutant beast bloodlines, while Mixed Grain Pills boost their spiritual energy uptake.
Along with various other elixirs, these swiftly boost the growth of mutant beasts in Spirit Origin Land.
Leaving aside the rest, even the Beast Blood Pill alone is something the Illusion Moon Sect cannot afford to use so generously, as they lack the means to refine it.
Although the Beast Blood Pill counts as just a First-order elixir, it serves Immortal Cultivators and was originally crafted by them to nourish spirit beasts.
Back in the day, Yang Zhenshan acquired some Beast Blood Pills from Feather Tower. Soon after, he took to refining them personally. Then Zhang Hexuan succeeded in producing them too, allowing Spirit Origin Land to stockpile plenty for raising mutant beasts.
Beast Blood Pills hold modest value, yet they remain crucial for nurturing mutant beasts.
Throughout the Sea of Spirit, only Spirit Origin Land possesses the ability to mass-produce Beast Blood Pills.
Yang Zhenshan chuckled and said, "Sect Master, should we set off?"
Yue Qing cast a glance toward Yang Zhenshan’s group, then at her Illusion Moon Sect followers behind her, abruptly sensing how sparse her own sect appeared.
On this trip, Illusion Moon Sect had mobilized a solid contingent too, led by Yue Qing herself, with Liu Yue overseeing matters, flanked by Elders Yue Ming and Yue Su, and three Second-Order Illusion Moon Foxes.
Such a lineup held real strength, but set against the Yang family’s team, it came off as rather meager.
"Let’s go!" Yue Qing had no other words; she had beheld the prosperity of Spirit Origin Land.
Truth be told, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t trying to flaunt riches either—Spirit Origin Land had surged through a boom phase in recent years, with Martial Arts and Immortal Cultivation both leaping forward rapidly.
