Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1740 - 1059: Newly Emerged Ancient Fossil (Part 2)
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
Take Yang Zhenshan for example; previously, Yang Zhenshan could use the Spirit Source Land to teleport, but now he uses Body Transformation to teleport. Both are considered teleportation, but the differences between the two are significant.
In the past, Yang Zhenshan could only teleport once in the time now needed for five teleportations.
An Wusheng lowered his gaze, staring at the blood pool below, "Do you not know the opponent’s identity?"
"Can’t tell!" Yu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Haha, well, well!" An Wusheng was so angered that he laughed.
Having his home robbed is one thing, but not knowing who did it is simply humiliating!
Moreover, he had left so much power at home: one Golden Core Cultivator, two Yin Ghost Soldiers with Golden Core strength, and thousands of Yin Soldier Blood Puppets; yet still couldn’t touch even a shadow of the opponent.
This is simply a joke of cosmic proportions!
If this matter gets out, who knows how many people would laugh until their teeth fall out!
"Hall Master, could this person be an ancient cultivator just out from hibernation?" Yu Yuan asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, An Wusheng’s eyes flashed coldly, revealing a contemplative look, "Those ancient cultivators... quite possibly."
"Ancient cultivators" naturally refers to those who have lived a long time, while those just out from hibernation are those awakening from their slumber.
Even Master Jing Shui can use the Turtle Breath Pill to sleep for decades, so those ancient cultivators who have reached Golden Core Peak or even Half-step Enlightenment surely have ways to suspend their lifespan, spending millions of years in sleep.
Moreover, such ancient cultivators are not few in number.
As the power struggle draws nearer, more of such ancient cultivators will wake.
"Then~~" Yu Yuan hesitated, actually wanting to ask what to do next but was afraid An Wusheng would reprimand him.
An Wusheng glanced at him but didn’t punish him, instead taking out a Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade to toss to him, "Immediately restart the Blood Evil Array and first control these brainless trash!"
"Yes!" Yu Yuan responded promptly.
Yang Zhenshan was mistaken about one thing; he thought after stealing the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, An Wusheng would need to refine a new one. In reality, An Wusheng had more than one Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade and could replace the old one with a new one at any time.
Of course, this replacement process takes time, to reset restrictions and reintegrate into the Blood Evil Array—it can’t be done in less than three or five years.
However, this is no longer Yang Zhenshan’s concern; he merely aimed to add some trouble for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, and now his goal has been achieved, so he naturally wants to keep his distance.
After returning from the depths of the Void to the Life Realm Immortal Palace, Yang Zhenshan immediately summoned Xuanzhen to purify the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade with the Purify Heaven and Earth Divine Spell.
Xuanzhen looked at the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, the wrinkles on his face deepening with laughter.
"Haha, such dense Blood Evil Qi, True Monarch, where did you acquire this?"
Yang Zhenshan chuckled, "Naturally snatched from the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool; it’s An Wusheng’s Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade!"
"An Wusheng?" Xuanzhen did not know who An Wusheng was.
"Hall Master of the Soul Control Hall of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, a great power with Golden Core Peak cultivation!" Yang Zhenshan explained.
Upon hearing this, Xuanzhen’s eyes immediately brightened, "A Golden Core Great Power, and True Monarch can rob items from a Golden Core Great Power, tsk, tsk, True Monarch is truly remarkable!"
He gave Yang Zhenshan a thumbs-up, sounding as if he was praising him, but Yang Zhenshan detected sarcasm.
"Enough nonsense, do you want it or not?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I want it!" Xuanzhen replied eagerly; were it not for the intense Blood Evil Qi emanating from the jade, he would have wished to hug it now.
For him, it’s immensely nourishing; once purified, it can provide him with substantial pure mana and even elevate his cultivation.
He estimated purifying this Blood Jade could raise his cultivation to the Peak of Foundation Establishment; with a few more years of preparation, he could attempt Core Formation.
"Then purify it slowly!"
Yang Zhenshan directly threw the Blood Jade to him and left the Life Realm Immortal Palace.
He intended to visit the Sky Cloud Sword Sect to inquire about the status of the Xiaxian Sect, primarily to check if the Wanhua Seal had fallen into An Wusheng’s hands.
Soon after, he arrived at the Jade Sky Hall of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, where Que Lingyu, Jian Changhe, and Yun Xiao were present, though White Cloud True Monarch hadn’t returned—wherever he had gone, he’d been away for four months without coming back.
Seeing the three were all present in the Jade Sky Hall, Yang Zhenshan asked, "Senior Sister, what’s the situation with the Xiaxian Sect?"
Que Lingyu greeted Yang Zhenshan with a radiant smile, "Didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"
"None!" Yang Zhenshan replied.
"That’s good! The Xiaxian Sect has already been wiped out by An Wusheng!" Que Lingyu said.
"What about the Wanhua Seal?" Yang Zhenshan asked.
Que Lingyu shook her head, then took out a feather fan; it was composed of twelve tail feathers, each about 1.5 feet long, fading from pale gold at the root to a flowing rosy hue down the shaft, with the tips shimmering in silver, resembling stars.
"In the end, Chi Xia threw away his three spiritual artifacts along with the Wanhua Seal. My luck was unfortunate; I didn’t obtain the Wanhua Seal, only snatched Chi Xia True Monarch’s Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Flowing Rosy Perch Feather."
Que Lingyu seemed downcast, lamenting such a good opportunity slipping away without securing the Wanhua Seal.
Yang Zhenshan was slightly taken aback, not expecting such an outcome.
He didn’t ask who possessed the Wanhua Seal, only felt for Que Lingyu’s disappointment.
Because aside from the person who obtained it, no one knows who holds the Wanhua Seal now.
"That’s indeed quite a pity!"
Yang Zhenshan gently shook his head, then asked, "Did the Demon Court not make a move?"
"No!" Que Lingyu replied.
"What on earth is the Wanhua Demon Court doing, waiting till now without making a move?" Jian Changhe queried.
Considering for a moment, Que Lingyu replied, "They’re probably consolidating their forces; the Wanhua Demon Court never managed those demon clans before, and now, preparing to battle the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, naturally requires first integrating those demon clans!"
Yang Zhenshan nodded in agreement, understanding that ultimately the Wanhua Demon Court had been inactive. Being the largest force in the Wanhua Mountain Range and its master, they had never established dominion over it.
Now faced with the situation, trying to consolidate the demon clans’ power would likely require substantial time and effort.
"Until they fully consolidate the demon clans’ strength, they probably won’t take the initiative!" Yang Zhenshan remarked.
Rising and gesturing dismissively, Que Lingyu said, "Let’s not worry about them; during this period, we need only keep an eye on the Unpredictable Ghost Sect; as long as they don’t target us, we need not deal with them!"
"You all remain at the Sect; I’m going to keep watch over the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!"
She spoke, then her form transformed into a stream of light, vanishing from the grand hall.
Thereafter, Yang Zhenshan, Jian Changhe, and Yun Xiao also dispersed.
