Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1185: Chapter 790: Hidden Sword Mountain, Lingxiu Three Sects, Nether Prison Sect

"Perhaps the relationship between Hidden Sword Mountain and the Three Sects is deeper than we imagined!" Yang Zhenshan said.

"Hidden Sword Mountain is too mysterious, it’s very difficult for us to gather accurate information!" Li Chang replied.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "That’s not surprising, I suppose even the Twelve Families are unaware of Hidden Sword Mountain!"

He always felt there should be an Immortal Dao Sect here.

Not just those with some Immortal Dao inheritance or a few Immortal Cultivators, but a sect truly dominated by Immortal Dao cultivators.

The concept of the Immortal Dao within the Sea of Spirit began a thousand years ago, with the decline of the Immortal Dao and the rise of Martial Arts. But is this really true?

Why did the Immortal Dao decline?

Is it simply because Martial Arts are easier to cultivate?

Even if this is the case, Immortal Dao should not have declined to the point where few people cultivate it.

At the very least, Yang Zhenshan believes that the Immortal Dao holds more advantages and promises than Martial Arts.

While the two were talking, Yang Zhenshan suddenly felt a slight stir in his heart spirit and slowly stood up.

"Family Head!" Li Chang cast an inquisitive look.

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, "A distinguished guest has arrived!"

With that, he directly walked towards the door.

Moments later, he arrived at the plaque, gazing at the burly man who arrived riding an eagle.

"Yang Zhenshan of Lingxi Yang Family welcomes the Master!"

Lu Fusheng jumped down from the Golden Feathered Eagle and landed in front of Yang Zhenshan.

He curiously examined Yang Zhenshan, just as Yang Zhenshan found him interesting when he first saw him in the Ancient County city.

"Haha~~ Interesting, interesting!"

Lu Fusheng first expressed surprise, then couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "I am Lu Fusheng, greetings to the Family Head of Yang!"

Seeing him laugh so heartily, Yang Zhenshan also couldn’t help but smile, "Please, Senior Lu!"

The similarity in appearance intrigued both of them, without any negative feelings, instead suggesting a shared interest.

Yang Zhenshan was not surprised by Lu Fusheng’s arrival.

After all, Lu Jianghua is his dear grandson, and Yang Zhenshan sheltered Lu Jianghua; it is only natural for the grandfather to visit and express gratitude personally.

The two entered the ancestral home, Wang Lei immediately invited Lu Jianghua and Lan Xuanyu over, and then Lu Jianghua recounted the events of the past few days to Lu Fusheng.

After Lu Fusheng listened, his gaze towards Yang Zhenshan turned peculiar.

In the main hall, Lu Fusheng scrutinized Yang Zhenshan, and suddenly his expression turned solemn.

"Is the Family Head of Yang an Immortal Cultivator?"

Yang Zhenshan, sipping tea, paused slightly, "How did Senior discern it?"

He did not deny it, as there was no point in denial.

Actually, his identity as an Immortal Cultivator was not necessary to hide, especially since even the Soul-breaking Blade possessed Immortal Dao cultivators. Lingxi Three Sects must also be cultivating Immortal Dao cultivators.

"Golden Body Realm Martial Artist begins soul training. Though I’ve just entered the Golden Body Realm recently, I’ve already begun soul training." Lu Fusheng explained.

Yang Zhenshan realized that the first step in soul training is awakening spiritual sense, and once one possesses spiritual sense, one can perceive the flow of energy within others, thus accurately assessing the cultivation level of others.

In fact, Yang Zhenshan was also observing Lu Fusheng’s internal energy earlier. Though Lu Fusheng wasn’t the first Martial God expert he’d encountered, he was the first he interacted with after acquiring spiritual sense.

Under his spiritual sense perception, Lu Fusheng had a mass of raging flames within him; his Qi Sea was entirely occupied by fire, and flames flowed through his meridians, every inch of his body seemed to be bathed in fire.

Those flames exuded a fierce aura, yet within Lu Fusheng’s body, they softly circulated like a gentle current.

Spirit Base casting focuses on making the Dantian Qi Sea’s spirit base capable of containing denser attribute True Yuan.

Golden Body sculpting involves using elemental spiritual energy to wash over the body, enabling it to endure True Yuan’s impact.

This is quite similar to the Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment, except Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment works from inside to outside, whereas Martial Arts Golden Body works from outside to inside.

The difference lies in Immortal Cultivators, due to possessing spiritual apertures, can master spiritual sense earlier, thus having stronger control over internal mana, making internal to external transformation possible.

Meanwhile, Martial Artists aiming to cast Spirit Base, due to inability to precisely control internal True Yuan changes, must first sculpt the Golden Body, allowing the body to endure elemental True Yuan’s impact, enabling Spirit Base casting.

Therefore, Spirit Base casting for Martial Artists is easier, but Foundation Establishment for Immortal Cultivators is more challenging.

However, regarding Divine Soul, Immortal Cultivators’ Foundation Establishment results in a transformative Divine Soul, whereas Martial Artists’ Spirit Base casting allows connection to the Divine Soul without transformation.

"Why is it called Golden Body Realm? Isn’t it Martial God Realm?" Yang Zhenshan asked, focusing on Lu Fusheng’s earlier words.

"Hehe, Martial God Realm is just a colloquial term, Golden Body Realm is the precise name of the realm!"

"And what about Martial Immortal Realm?"

"Divine Soul Realm!"

Yang Zhenshan revealed a look of realization.

He thought so, terms like Martial God and Martial Immortal were overly arrogant.

Lu Fusheng looked at Yang Zhenshan, "I just didn’t expect the Yang Family Head to be an Immortal Cultivator?"

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly, explaining, "Actually, I was once just a Martial Artist; it was due to a fortunate encounter in the Ancient Relic Array that I obtained an Immortal Dao skill and thus switched to cultivating the Immortal Dao."

There’s nothing to hide. His venture into the Ancient Relic Array is no secret.

Rather than let Lu Fusheng speculate on the origin of his cultivation technique, it is better to clarify it, preventing excessive speculation from Lu Fusheng.
