Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1028: Chapter 715: Dazhao in Utter Chaos

Three more days had passed, and the sea had become calm and tranquil. The sun was wantonly pouring out its scorching rays, covering the azure surface of the sea with a layer of golden scales. The gentle sea breeze softly caressed everyone’s face like tender hands.

The sailors and guards lazily sunned themselves on the deck, enjoying the gentle sea breeze.

They had now left the Stormy Sea Area, and according to the information provided by Zhou Tianci, they had entered the Dazhao Dynasty’s sea domain. However, since they still didn’t know their exact location, they could only head east until they saw islands or land.

The three days had allowed everyone to recuperate; their faces no longer looked so pale, showing more color, and their spirits, no longer so fatigued, had become energetic.

Yang Zhenshan was in the mood to play chess with Xuanzhen, while Li Shangyuan pulled Lv Hua to have a drink.

They had crossed the Stormy Sea Area together; they could be considered life-and-death companions. Li Shangyuan and Tang An, the master and disciple duo, completely integrated into Yang Zhenshan’s group and gained everyone’s approval.

Even Lv Hua’s attitude towards him had softened significantly, taking off the mask when facing him. The two sat together, chatting and drinking.

While everyone was experiencing this peace and leisure, the lookout on the lookout tower suddenly shouted, "Family Head, there’s land ahead?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenshan stood up without a word and quickly walked to the bow, gazing eastward.

In the process of standing up, he accidentally bumped the chessboard, causing the pieces to scatter.

About to make his move, Xuanzhen saw this and his mouth twitched slightly, "Shameless bastard!"

Though Yang Zhenshan stood several yards away at the ship’s bow, he could still hear the curse.

Yet, he looked eastward in earnestness, showing no sign of embarrassment.

Another one less loss, haha~~

Sure enough, the outline of the land appeared in the east, faintly visible with towering mountains.

Finally reached the Dazhao Dynasty?

A joyful expression appeared on Yang Zhenshan’s face.

He was full of anticipation for the Dazhao Dynasty, no, for the world east of the Stormy Sea Area.

Legend has it that the world east of the Stormy Sea Area has more powerful Martial Arts, an incredibly wondrous Rune Way, and many supplementary cultivation skills far surpassing Da’an and the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Domain, like Alchemy, tool forging, tea making, wine brewing, etc., in all aspects surpassing Da’an’s craftsmanship and technology.

Especially the Rune Way, it’s said to have the power to transform the rotten into the miraculous, allowing ordinary things to possess various magical effects and abilities.

Regarding the Rune Way, Yang Zhenshan had only heard snippets and wasn’t completely clear, as the area west of the Stormy Sea Area had no Rune Way legacy, nor any Rune Way items.

Even Zhou Tianci had only heard of the Rune Way and hadn’t encountered any items related to the Rune Way.

Actually, Zhou Tianci was quite incompetent; he had been in the Dazhao Dynasty for six years but hadn’t deeply understood many things about it.

This was mainly because Zhou Tianci hadn’t truly integrated into the Dazhao Dynasty. He went to become a pirate, didn’t thoroughly delve into the Dazhao Dynasty, nor deeply explored it. His sole aim was to seize Spirit Fruit and cultivation resources.

Of course, Zhou Tianci wasn’t entirely at fault; when he came to the Dazhao Dynasty, it was at its most chaotic stage, where every side was fighting fiercely. As an outsider, Zhou Tianci found it hard to gain the local forces’ trust or acquire resources from them, forcing him into piracy.

Looking at the nearing land, Yang Zhenshan felt slightly relieved.

The land ahead was not an island; it seemed to be a vast mainland, very likely the main territory of the Dazhao Dynasty.

Moreover, it didn’t seem to be a prosperous area but a stretch of wild hills.

Upon arriving here, landing in such a place was beneficial for Yang Zhenshan.

Because according to Zhou Tianci’s failed experience, outsiders like them were not suited to settle in bustling places right away.

Finding a sparsely inhabited place to settle, gradually learning and integrating into this new world is the best beginning.

"Family Head, should we land?" Li Chang approached and asked.

Yang Zhenshan nodded and said, "Let’s land!"

In front was a range of rolling mountains with no sign of human habitation.

The coastline had cliffs unsuitable for docking ships.

However, none of this mattered; since they had landed, they wouldn’t need the ship for a while.

After all, Yang Zhenshan had no intention of becoming a pirate.

The ship slowly approached the cliffs. Xuanzhen first flew up the cliff, then threw down a rope. The sailors and guards climbed up one after another.

When everyone had ascended, Yang Zhenshan looked up, seeing no one gazing down at the cliff. He simply stored the ship in the Spirit Source Land.

Once he jumped up the cliff, everyone was already surveying the surroundings.

It was just ordinary mountainous terrain, nothing special.

After some discussion, they headed into the depths of the forest.

This mountain range was far more expansive than they anticipated. Even after traversing the forest for six or seven days, they hadn’t emerged from the mountains, making Yang Zhenshan suspect whether they had strayed off course, wandering in circles in the same place all along.
