Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1404: Chapter 891: Cultivating the Devouring Spirit Body (Part 2)

All things can be devoured!

This has already transcended the simple path of cultivation, seemingly reaching the realm of rules.

In the world, the number of divine wonders is beyond measure!

How can one instantly devour?

Let alone a cultivator, even the divine beasts of ancient times dare not claim they can devour everything.

As mighty as True Sun Fire is, it cannot burn everything.

Moreover, the records in the Jade Scroll regarding the fourth stage are very vague, without detailed cultivation methods.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan believes this fourth stage is likely the imagination of the creator of the Cultivation Technique.

However, this is not important; the first three stages are already sufficient for his cultivation, and he estimates reaching the third stage may require cultivation at the Golden Core level.

As for the fourth stage, whether it’s a false imagination or higher realm divine skills, it’s somewhat distant from him now.

Now, what he needs to do first is body refining and spirit devouring tempering. This is simple, merely devouring nature’s spiritual energy and spiritual energy from spiritual objects.

The reason Yang Zhenshan finds this Cultivation Technique compatible with the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill is because this stage almost mirrors the cultivation method of the third and fourth stages of the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill.

The Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill similarly requires devouring the spiritual energy of Spirit Fruits, integrating the spiritual energy of Spirit Fruits into every inch of the body to grant it powerful vitality and life force.

The body refining of the Devouring Spirit Body is almost the same, the difference lies in that the Devouring Spirit Body can devour spiritual energy of any attribute, not limited to a single attribute.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment, thinking he should continue cultivating the Devouring Spirit Body based on the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill, which means he will only devour wood attribute spiritual energy, preferably from Spirit Fruits.

In doing so, he can not only enhance the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill but also cultivate the Devouring Spirit Body.

If he wants to refine a Spirit Realm, he can choose a spiritual fruit tree forest in the Spirit Source Land as the Spirit Realm, and when the time comes, he can plant more Spirit Fruit Trees, or other Spirit Trees and ancient trees.

He is different from Mo Xuanyu, Mo Xuanyu’s aim in cultivating the Devouring Spirit Body is to gain immense combat power, while his purpose is merely to enhance the strength of his physical constitution, setting a solid foundation for future Core Formation.

With his mind made up, Yang Zhenshan began cultivating immediately.

He took out a large amount of Spirit Fruits, starting to devour the spiritual energy within them, reshaping the foundation of his flesh body.

Now he no longer has to devour only Spirit Fruits of the same root and source like when he first began cultivating the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill; he can choose to devour those Spirit Fruits rich in wood attribute spiritual energy.

And the Spirit Source Land does not lack Spirit Fruits, allowing him to devour to his heart’s content.

With the cultivation of the Devouring Spirit Body, Yang Zhenshan made some changes in his cultivation.

He raised the Devouring Spirit Body to the same level as the Qingmu Longevity Scripture and the Void Refining Scripture, regularly and periodically cultivating. If any event interrupts the cultivation of these three techniques, he would make up for it later.

Besides these three techniques, the Qinghua Thunder Skill also requires regular and periodic cultivation; Yang Zhenshan continues nurturing new thunder pearls as the foundation for using Wood Divine Thunder. As for the first thunder pearl, he will nurture it, but not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Then there’s alchemy, the Demon Essence Pill still needs to be refined and as much as possible.

Because after cultivating the Devouring Spirit Body, Yang Zhenshan’s efficiency in consuming Demon Essence Pills improved, ensuring no waste of the pill’s potency.

The combination of Demon Essence Pill with the Devouring Spirit Body allows for faster improvement in cultivation.

The cultivation of the Devouring Spirit Body proceeded smoothly, within just two years, Yang Zhenshan completed the first stage of cultivation, allowing him to cultivate the second stage, refining the Spirit Realm.

This is also thanks to the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill as a foundation, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly.

However, Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation of the second stage went even more smoothly. He chose a piece of Spirit Fruit Garden in the Spirit Source Land as his Spirit Realm, yet when he began transforming this garden into the Spirit Realm, he surprisingly realized he didn’t need to refine the Spirit Realm because the entire Spirit Source Land was already his Spirit Realm.

Indeed, he could directly use the Spirit Source Land as the Spirit Realm and directly channel the Spirit Source Land’s spiritual energy into himself, achieving the creation of the law body.

This discovery left him both surprised and shocked.

The surprise was he didn’t expect the Spirit Source Land could serve as the Spirit Realm for the Devouring Spirit Body, and the shock was if the Spirit Source Land could become the Spirit Realm, wouldn’t that provide him with immensely abundant spiritual energy?

It’s known the spiritual energy concentration in the Spirit Source Land is very high, with the Spirit Vein centered around the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau nearly reaching the third-rank middle grade, while the spiritual energy concentration elsewhere is approximately equivalent to the level of second-rank middle grade Spirit Veins.

Throughout a thousand miles of territory, the lowest spiritual energy concentration is equivalent to second-rank middle grade Spirit Veins, the magnitude of spiritual energy contained therein needs no further explanation.

If he could extract the spiritual energy from the Spirit Source Land, how powerful would his law body become?

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t imagine!

Of course, he couldn’t do that.

If he dared channel all the spiritual energy from the Spirit Source Land into his body, his body would instantly burst apart.

"This is truly an unexpected joy!"

On the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, Yang Zhenshan transformed into a giant three zhang tall, feeling the strength of his body, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

His law body was not as grotesque as Mo Xuanyu’s; it didn’t differ much from his original appearance, still bearing the likeness of an immortal with a dignified bearing, except his beard had become a lot shorter. It wasn’t that the beard itself shortened, but his body had grown, yet the beard didn’t change, making the original fine beard look similar to that of a goat.

Yu Qingyi stood before him, looking like a tiny figure.

"This vestment robe is quite good, it can grow with your body size!" Yu Qingyi looked up at Yang Zhenshan, smiling with brows curved.

"Naturally, this is a vestment robe personally sewn by Madam, how could it not be good?" Yang Zhenshan’s voice turned rugged.

Yu Qingyi giggled, "Oh, stop it, I merely did the sewing; the array on it wasn’t my work!"

The vestment robe has a Ruyi Formation that can expand and contract, Yu Qingyi naturally can’t set up arrays, this array was done with the help of Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun.

Yang Zhenshan returned to his original size, embraced Yu Qingyi’s soft waist, and laughed, "We should still thank Madam!"

Yu Qingyi laughed lightly and followed him along the lakeside for a stroll.

As their cultivation level increased, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi found themselves spending more and more time in cultivation, needing two to three days for a single session, and if in seclusion, three to five months.

Especially Yang Zhenshan, refining a Demon Essence Pill takes half a month.

Thus, the time they spend together has, instead, diminished significantly.

Yet, their relationship hasn’t cooled down; compared to their long lifespans, days, or months, are just momentary passing.

Yang Zhenshan would regularly find time to accompany Yu Qingyi, spar with her, show her his cultivation achievements, or take a walk with her, or go out together.

"I’m planning to make a trip to White Cloud Immortal City, do you want to come?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Yu Qingyi gently shook her head, "I’ll pass, I’ve heard White Cloud Immortal City isn’t very friendly to martial artists!"

In truth, it’s not that White Cloud Immortal City is unfriendly to martial artists, rather the stronger the Immortal Cultivation Forces, the less they regard martial artists.

Because as the cultivation realm ascends, the gap between martial artists and Immortal Cultivators widens increasingly.

Gold Body Realm Martial Artists are far inferior to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the gap between Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists and Golden Core Cultivators is vast; they are simply not in the same league.

Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists’ combat power may exceed Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but facing Golden Core Cultivators, Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists are just novices, not comparable at all.

White Cloud Immortal City is home to Golden Core Cultivators, naturally not paying much attention to Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists, let alone Gold Body Realm Martial Artists.

In the Sea of Spirit, Gold Body Realm Martial Artists are experts, but in White Cloud Immortal City, they can only serve as attendants to Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
