Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1246: Chapter 817: Changes in the Spirit Source Land

He didn’t know how long had passed, his Dantian was covered in cracks after repeated impacts.

"Crack!"

A crisp breaking sound came from the Dantian, a sound only Yang Zhenshan could hear.

At the same time, the Spiritual Energy around Yang Zhenshan seemed to be stimulated, madly rushing towards him.

The Spiritual Energy storm on the Spiritual Spring Lake stirred up waves, with faint spiritual essence drifting from the lake, ethereal glimmers gathered above Yang Zhenshan’s head.

Yang Zhenshan was unaware of the changes outside, all his Heart Spirit was focused on the shattering Dantian.

After the Dantian shattered, profound Mana began to surge into the meridians, acupoints, organs, and bones and flesh, causing a pricking pain throughout his body.

However, this pain did not last long. Once a drop of extremely pure Spiritual Liquid seeped into his body through a spiritual aperture, Yang Zhenshan felt completely at ease.

The Spiritual Liquid began to repair Yang Zhenshan’s body, filling the shattered Dantian.

Droplets of Spiritual Liquid fell into the new Dantian, like a gentle drizzle, nourishing Yang Zhenshan’s body inside and out.

The new Dantian was broader, able to hold more profound Mana, and withstand greater pressure.

At this moment, Yang Zhenshan’s Dantian could be called a Qi Sea, transforming the Dantian into a sea, capable of accepting all rivers, and this is the foundation of the Immortal Path.

The Mana at the bottom of the Dantian Qi Sea was like a deep green tranquil pool.

"Foundation Establishment achieved!"

Yang Zhenshan opened his eyes, two beams of green light shot from his eyes.

He released his Spiritual Sense to carefully understand the changes after achieving Foundation Establishment.

His body was stronger than before, filled with invigorating vitality, as if he had boundless life energy.

His Divine Soul was more solid than before, the Sea of Consciousness that was vague before now appeared entirely in his perception.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the shadow of the Divine Soul resided, a wisp of invisible Divine Soul extended out, through the spiritual aperture, connecting to the Origin Core of the Spirit Source Land.

"So this is my Divine Soul!"

Yang Zhenshan experienced a spiritual illumination, feeling the power of the Spirit Source Land’s origin.

It was a magical feeling, like the soul leaving the body, overlooking the entire Spirit Source Land, and also as if I was the Spirit Source Land, and the Spirit Source Land was me.

Besides the changes in the Divine Soul and body, there were also changes in the Mana within the Dantian Qi Sea.

Thirty-six droplets of liquid Mana gathered at the bottom of the Dantian Qi Sea, as emerald as jade.

"Unprecedented power!"

Yang Zhenshan felt the dense wave of Mana within himself and couldn’t help but exclaim in enjoyment.

This strength was far beyond the Qi Refinement Realm, with a world of difference compared to the Mana during the Qi Refinement Realm.

However, Yang Zhenshan’s delight quickly faded because he discovered something that left him somewhat frustrated.

Indeed, the Mana of Foundation Establishment far exceeded that of the Qi Refinement Realm, but the difficulty of advancement in Foundation Establishment was also much higher than in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Yang Zhenshan operated the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture" to feel it slightly, and discovered shockingly that without external aids in cultivation, it would take at least a century to advance from the initial Foundation Establishment Stage to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The Lifespan in the Foundation Establishment Stage, like the Martial God Realm, was three hundred years, but to raise a small realm needed a century, and this was just from the early to the mid-stage. What about from mid-stage to late-stage?

"Resources, resources, it’s all about resources, without sufficient resources, the path of longevity is a mere illusion!"

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly and then slowly stood up.

He walked out for two days, looking up at the azure sky.

With his successful Foundation Establishment, the Spirit Source Land experienced another radical transformation.

The sky was higher, the land broader.

The Divine Soul linked with the Origin Core, elevating Yang Zhenshan’s perspective into the sky, overlooking the entire Spirit Source Land.

At this time, the Spirit Source Land appeared very peculiar. Surrounding the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau was lush greenery, with mountains, grasslands, farmlands, and towns, but beyond a hundred miles, there was a vast expanse of desolation: dark plains, azure and yellow mountains, and large sunken gray areas.

"A thousand miles? The radius expanded tenfold, this Spirit Source Land could be called a small world!" Yang Zhenshan observed the changes in the Spirit Source Land, pondering in his heart.

With a radius of a thousand miles, the area was about eight hundred thousand square kilometers.

In terms of terrain, the Spirit Source Land was still higher in the north and lower in the south. The north had many mountains, layer upon layer, higher and higher, the highest exceeding two thousand zhang, while the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau was only three hundred zhang.

The south was still a large plain, but five hundred miles south of the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, there now appeared a basin. No, now it looked like a basin, but once the Spirit River water flowed into it, that basin would turn into a huge lake, even worthy of being called a sea.

But right now, the river had not yet flowed over, so it appeared as a basin.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t care much about the terrain of the Spirit Source Land, because the terrain was original and not something he could control.

Compared to the terrain, Yang Zhenshan was more concerned about what kind of resources the expanded Spirit Source Land might have.

"Eight Spiritual Springs, three mineral veins, hmm, and one is a Second-Order vein, with dual attributes of Jin and Huo."

"The Earth Veins are very rich, there’s also a Second-Order Fire Vein."

"Hmm, it seems the Spirit Vein level of the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau has improved! Is it Second Rank Top Grade or Third Order?"
