Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1651 - 1014: Duel of Dao Techniques
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
Yang Zhenshan locked his Spiritual Sense onto that Square Seal, his heart sank to the bottom.
This is a top-grade spiritual artifact.
After being tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, his Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword was already a mid-grade spiritual artifact, and the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron also advanced to a low-grade spiritual artifact.
But compared to that Square Seal, the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword was far inferior.
"If this is all you can do, then don’t blame me for being merciless! Ha ha~~"
The person laughed mockingly, his tone full of disdain and ridicule.
Yang Zhenshan glanced towards Jian Changhe’s direction and saw that he was handling the demon beast without too much difficulty, which allowed him to relax a little.
The strength of that demon beast was clearly inferior to the person before him, perhaps Jian Changhe was not a match for that demon beast, but he could at least hold on.
In contrast, the pressure on his side was much greater, the person before him was terribly strong.
Given this!
Yang Zhenshan ignored the person’s sarcasm and turned to flee in the opposite direction of Jian Changhe.
Of course, he wasn’t planning to abandon Jian Changhe and run away; he wanted to lead this person away.
With each escaping separately, Jian Changhe should be able to avoid the demon beast’s pursuit, and he could be assured to shake off this person’s harassment.
"Trying to run!"
The person threw the Square Seal again, and instantly it transformed into more than a yard wide, crashing towards Yang Zhenshan, without any hesitation, Yang Zhenshan flashed and passed directly into the Void.
At this time, they were still inside the Wanhua Mountain Range, coming out from the Void led to overlapping mountains.
After identifying the direction, Yang Zhenshan headed straight southeast.
"Since this person is targeting Huaxian Sect, I’ll go to Huaxian Sect; if Chi Hua True Man takes action, he should be able to stop this person!"
Yang Zhenshan made up his mind and flew straight to Huaxian Sect.
But as he just flew out a little distance, a terrifying pressure bore down on him.
This almost knocked him out of the air.
He carefully looked behind, and saw an elder pursuing him from a hundred feet away.
This person looked somewhat elderly, with knife-like deep wrinkles on his forehead, but unlike the usual elders’ slackness, they resembled the mountain ridges, carrying the weight of years accumulated. His temples were snow-white under the Jade Crown, with strands of silver hair hanging by his cheeks, accentuating the deep set of his eyes filled with a calm pressure like a boulder.
He wore a robe of dark yellow Cloud Brocade, embroidered with red gold thread depicting the mountain shapes, amid the peaks’ rise and fall, the patterns of Earth Veins faintly circulated, the collar and sleeve edges trimmed with purple mink fur, the garment billowing as he moved, the gold thread reflecting a flowing sheen under the light, yet not seeming ostentatious, instead like the earth adorned with rosy clouds, carrying its own stately grandeur.
Though slightly hunched in form, yet like an old pine clinging to a cliff, the aura on him seemed to resonate with the mountains; the luxurious robe covering him, exuded a grounded energy field in sync with the earth.
"This is bad!" Yang Zhenshan’s expression slightly changed, without any hesitation, he once again entered the Void.
And just as he entered the Void, the dark yellow Dao patterns spread from beneath that person’s feet, causing the sleeping mountains they passed to slowly awaken.
From afar, peaks rose up as faint golden phantoms, like giant beasts lifting their heads, hundreds of mountain contours overlapping in the air, finally condensing into an illusion of ten thousand mountains revolving around him.
These phantoms were not static but shifted according to his will, all collectively flying towards Yang Zhenshan’s location.
Luckily, he ran swiftly, otherwise, he surely would’ve been harmed by these mountain phantoms.
"Youngster, playing such tricks with an old man, you are still too green!"
Yang Zhenshan had just entered the Void, that Qi Mechanism reappeared not far from him.
"Damn it, such speed!" Yang Zhenshan cursed in his heart.
Traversing the Void requires skill, and Void Dao Intent is an exceptionally mysterious Dao Intent. Yang Zhenshan had only recently formed his Core, naturally behind these veteran Golden Core cultivators in Void traversal.
As for Void Dao Intent, Yang Zhenshan had touched upon a tiny bit, but it was far from what these veteran Golden Core cultivators had achieved.
Golden Core cultivators aren’t limited to understanding only one Dao Intent; many veteran Golden Core cultivators have grasped several, even dozens of Dao Intents. Of course, they excel in only one or two, since Divine Skills Dao Intent isn’t about the quantity but the depth of understanding.
But this doesn’t mean they wouldn’t comprehend Void Dao Intent; in fact, most Golden Core cultivators wish to gain a deeper understanding of Void Dao Intent because fighting inside the Void with Void Dao Intent offers a terrain advantage.
However, the majority of Golden Core cultivators are unable to grasp the Void Dao Intent.
In both experience of traversing the Void and understanding the Void Dao Intent, Yang Zhenshan had a considerable gap with the person before him.
"Where did this bastard come from, damn!"
Yang Zhenshan fled hastily, while the person unhurriedly followed behind, seemingly not afraid of Yang Zhenshan escaping.
The Square Seal attacked again, its heavy power delivering another strike to Yang Zhenshan, fortunately, this time Yang Zhenshan had the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron for protection, sparing his Daoist Body from injury.
Yang Zhenshan dashed relentlessly, continuously traversing between the main world and the Void, trying to shake off the person’s pursuit, but no matter how he fled, the person followed him leisurely.
"I told you, you can’t escape!"
"Ha ha, you want to go to Huaxian Sect! Such little tricks cannot fool me!"
The person occasionally uttered a word of mockery.
As his words entered Yang Zhenshan’s Spiritual Sense induction, Yang Zhenshan had to emerge from the Void again, but as soon as he came out, he saw thousands of mountain phantoms swarming towards him.
Yang Zhenshan was appalled, and had no choice but to enter the Void once more.
