Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1151: Chapter 774: Pocket World Gate

As his spiritual sense deepened, he quickly felt a strange sensation, his perception continuously elevating, with everything around gradually revealing itself within his spiritual awareness.

Initially, it was only thirty zhang in range, but as time passed, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, then ten thousand zhang, until his spiritual sense enveloped the entire Spirit Source Land.

Everything within the Spirit Source Land was presented in his mind.

He saw Yu Qingyi meditating amidst the Spiritual Fruit Trees, Yang Mingcheng planting Jade Spirit Peaches at Moon Bay, Yang Chengmao handling various affairs in the study within the Clan Hall, and Yang Wanqi training two fledgling eagles at the academy in Longevity City.

He saw a spotted giant tiger leading three tiger cubs hunting in the mountains and forests, saw the Green Wolf King napping atop a mountain, saw the edge of the Spirit Source Land marked by a strip of dark land.

Everything was displayed in his mind, and even houses couldn’t escape the perception of his spiritual sense.

Gradually, a realization surged in Yang Zhenshan’s heart!

This was his Spirit Source Land!

No!

Yang Zhenshan suddenly froze.

He found something amiss, and the peculiarity lay in his Divine Soul.

His Divine Soul seemed inherently fused with the Spirit Source Land!

Or rather, his Divine Soul was already fused with the Origin Core of the Spirit Source Land.

There was a sense of ’I am the Spirit Source Land, and the Spirit Source Land is me.’

According to the description in the "Void Refining Scripture," only when control over the Grotto Heaven reaches the fourth level would the Divine Soul fuse with it, achieving the state where the Grotto Heaven remains unscathed, and the Divine Soul becomes indestructible.

But he felt that he was already fused with the Spirit Source Land.

It seemed that even if his body vanished, he would still exist within the Spirit Source Land.

Suddenly, Yang Zhenshan recalled something.

This Spirit Source Land was initially with him, and at first, it seemed that only his soul could enter here, and later he could enter with his physical body, as well as bring items along.

If that’s the case, it indicates that from the very beginning, his Divine Soul was fused with the Origin Core of the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhenshan was a bit stunned, and also somewhat delighted.

If this was true, then doesn’t it mean he has become an indestructible Divine Soul?

Yang Zhenshan’s heart pounded wildly; an indestructible Divine Soul, such an extraordinary existence.

However, he quickly suppressed his excitement.

Having the ability where the Grotto Heaven remains unscathed and the Divine Soul indestructible is indeed formidable, but it doesn’t mean this ability is invincible.

Since the Ancient Relic Array contains the "Void Refining Scripture," it indicates that the Ancient Sect from ten thousand years ago had cultivated this technique, suggesting that the Ancient Sect had such a Grotto Heaven of their own.

But that Ancient Sect vanished, disappearing ten thousand years ago.

The Grotto Heaven vanished, perhaps hidden within the Void, or maybe it was destroyed.

If it’s merely hidden within the Void, that’s one thing; but what if it was destroyed?

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t comprehend what power could destroy a small world like the Spirit Source Land, but that didn’t stop him from imagining how strong such a destructive power would be.

Even a Martial God couldn’t achieve it, and likely not even a Martial Immortal.

So what kind of existence could accomplish this?

Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts swirled, various notions surged in his mind.

"It seems that I need to be more cautious in the future; this world seems to harbor even more terrifying existences."

At this moment, he suddenly realized he had been too naive before.

He naively believed that the Three Sects of the Sea of Spirit were already very powerful, and thought the Nether Prison Sect, being able to contend with the Three Sects of the Sea of Spirit, was an overwhelming force.

But upon careful consideration, is that really the case?

Has the Immortal Path really declined?

Has Martial Arts truly thrived?

It seems so in the Sea of Spirit, but what about elsewhere?

How vast is this world?

The Yunxiao Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, but what lies to the east of the Yunxiao Mountain Range?

To the south of the Sea of Spirit lies the Southern Wilderness, but what is beyond the Southern Wilderness?

The Southern Wilderness is merely the Southern Wilderness of the Sea of Spirit, just as the East South Sea Domain is only Da Rong’s East South Sea Domain, when in fact the East South Sea Domain is just a part of the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Domain, and the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Domain is just a drop in the ocean.

And if the Grotto Heaven can reside in the Void, then how many Grotto Heavens exist in the Void? How many small worlds? Even how many large worlds?

Then what is the Void?

Yang Zhenshan gazed blankly at the sky. He hadn’t grasped the Dao of Nothingness, nor could he comprehend the existence of the Void.

Retracting his wandering thoughts again, Yang Zhenshan turned to attempt control over his Spirit Source Land.

The results left him somewhat disappointed.

His Divine Soul, though fused with the Origin Core of the Spirit Source Land, seemed to have reached the fourth level of controlling a Grotto Heaven. In reality, he was merely fused with the Origin Core, unable to control everything within the Spirit Source Land.

Simply put, he possessed part of the fourth-level abilities, but he was still at the first level of controlling a Grotto Heaven, which is refining the Grotto Heaven Core.

Having not comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, he naturally couldn’t control everything within the Grotto Heaven. Without understanding the Dao of Nothingness, he couldn’t utilize the Grotto Heaven to enter the Void, nor could he embed the Spirit Source Land within the Void.

"Indeed, controlling a small world is not that easy. Even if I possess this ability now, my Divine Soul cannot support such abilities!"
