Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1352: Chapter 867: Aren’t You Jealous That I Have a Grotto Heaven? (Part 2)

"Can that make you immortal and become a god?"

"Of course not."

"Can that make you live forever?"

"No, it can’t!"

His divine soul merges with the Origin Core of the Spirit Source Land, which ensures that his divine soul can share its fate with the Spirit Source Land. As long as the Spirit Source Land is not destroyed, his divine soul will not perish.

However, an immortal divine soul and living forever are not the same. Living forever means having both the divine soul and the physical body, while an immortal divine soul only retains the divine soul. There’s a big difference between the two.

"What am I supposed to envy? Your vast expanse of spirit fields? Or your multitude of spirit medicine and spiritual fruit?" Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhenshan thought about it and realized Xuanzhen’s point of view might not be wrong at all.

The Grotto Heaven has brought him many benefits, allowing him to acquire more resources more easily, and it also provides him with a safe place to rest.

But to say the Grotto Heaven is heaven-defying, it’s not quite so, because the Grotto Heaven itself has no direct effect on cultivation.

Of course, this is not to say the Grotto Heaven is bad; quite the opposite, Yang Zhenshan owes his current achievements to the benefits brought by the Grotto Heaven.

"I was worried you would be envious of my Grotto Heaven!" Yang Zhenshan chuckled.

"Envious, my foot! This poor Daoist only wants to kill Mo Xuanyu now. As for the others, humph, this poor Daoist also has his opportunities!" Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhenshan got interested, "What kind of opportunities do you have?"

"What about the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade?" Xuanzhen didn’t answer but instead asked.

"Hey, I’ve shared my secrets with you, you can’t keep yours hidden from me!" Yang Zhenshan protested.

Xuanzhen rolled his eyes and said, "This poor Daoist’s opportunity is the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade and this remnant scroll!"

"Ah~ I see!" Yang Zhenshan looked at the remnant scroll in his hand.

This remnant scroll had a layer of dark fog, appearing somewhat sinister, but given that it was Mo Xuanyu’s thing, the sinister aspect was quite normal.

Actually, many things do not inherently possess sinister attributes.

Such as the Devouring Spirit Blood Jade; in itself, it is a rare spiritual material, but in the hands of the Yin Ghost Department, this Devouring Spirit Blood Jade turns into the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade. If placed in the hands of a cultivator who practices orthodox cultivation techniques, it might turn into a normal magical treasure instead.

Similarly, this remnant scroll might have originally been a serious thing, only becoming improper through Mo Xuanyu’s meddling.

"The body of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade is the Devouring Spirit Blood Jade. I want to refine the Blood Evil Qi off it to restore the Devouring Spirit Blood Jade to its original form!" Yang Zhenshan pointed to the Pill Furnace not far away.

Xuanzhen got anxious and quickly said, "Don’t refine it, I need the Evil Qi inside!"

"Uh!" Yang Zhenshan looked at him, "You’re not planning to cultivate those wicked cultivation techniques, are you?"

"What are you thinking? This poor Daoist cultivates the authentic Taoist Palace inheritance! Stop the fire for now, don’t ruin the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade!" Xuanzhen said somewhat impatiently.

Seeing he appeared not to be lying, Yang Zhenshan let the Golden Crow put away the True Sun Fire and took the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade out from the Pill Furnace.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade emerged, it once again emitted a dense Blood Evil Qi.

"Keep your distance from me!" Xuanzhen, with the divine soul restriction of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade still on his divine soul, couldn’t be too close to the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade.

Using Heart Hand, Yang Zhenshan moved the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade more than a hundred zhang away and asked, "What needs to be done now?"

"You refine it, then unlock the divine soul restriction on me!"

"I won’t!" Yang Zhenshan shook his head immediately.

He had always had an aversion to things tainted with Evil and Blood Evil. Anything with this connection that came into his hands was thoroughly destroyed.

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen; the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade is a magical treasure that you can completely refine. After you unlock the divine soul restriction on me, you can eliminate the divine soul power on the blood jade, then I’ll handle this thing!" Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the blood jade beside him and finally nodded to proceed as Xuanzhen suggested.

The Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade was Mo Xuanyu’s item, with his divine soul power on it. To refine the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, Yang Zhenshan first needed to eradicate Mo Xuanyu’s divine soul power.

Even though Yang Zhenshan’s divine soul was relatively strong, it would take some time to refine the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade.

Luckily, Yang Zhenshan and Xuanzhen decided to settle down directly on this barren mountain.

Meanwhile, as Yang Zhenshan was refining the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, Mo Xuanyu rushed in panic to the mountain beneath the Blood Pool cave.

The collapse of the Blood Pool cave caused quite a commotion, and Lotus Heart Valley, not far away, had long since noticed the anomaly and sent many people to investigate.

Mo Xuanyu hid in the mountain forest, looking at the collapsed hillside, his expression couldn’t have been darker.

"What’s going on? What the hell is going on?"

His face was pale, his lips trembled slightly as he muttered softly.

At this moment, he couldn’t sense the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, couldn’t sense the remnant scroll, nor could he sense his laid-out Evil Blood Killing Array; he could only faintly feel the dense Evil Qi and Blood Evil Qi.

Undoubtedly, his lair, arranged painstakingly over ten years, had been swept away.

This person not only cleaned out his lair but also took his foundational magical treasures and great arrays, completely severing his connection to the treasures and the array.

"Who is it? Who the hell is it?" He growled, his eyes reddening, full of resentment and anger.

Whether it was the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade, the remnant scroll, or those three White Bone Pillars, none were ordinary magical treasures; they were the foundation set by the Yin Ghost Department for laying the Evil Blood Killing Array and the blood pool.

Without these three things, he could no longer set up the Evil Blood Killing Array nor rebuild the blood pool.
