Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1435 - 906: Birth, Aging, Sickness, Death—Human Nature. The Immortal Path Is Treacherous, a Road Against Heaven.

"Hmm, go ahead, I will wait for your return!"

Yang Zhenshan carried Red Cloud’s body and flew toward Anxi Mountain.

Anxi Mountain is the cemetery of Jade City, located to the west of the Spirit River. Today, Anxi Mountain is home to many graves.

Yang Zhenshan found a spot at the foot of Anxi Mountain, dug a simple pit, and buried Red Cloud there.

He didn’t hold a funeral for Red Cloud, he quietly, by himself, sent Red Cloud off, but he didn’t forget to erect a tombstone for Red Cloud.

...

In a tranquil courtyard in Yang Family Town.

An Yuxing and Liang Shengze were sitting under a tree playing a game of chess.

As the game ended, An Yuxing casually tossed the chess piece in his hand onto the board and then picked up a wine gourd, throwing his head back to take a large gulp.

"The martial path is long and arduous, let’s toast to our lofty ambitions with fine wine."

"Haha, good wine, good wine!"

With the wine in his belly, An Yuxing laughed heartily.

Liang Shengze looked at him with some envy in his eyes, "I’m not as good as you!"

"Not as good in what?"

"Not as open-minded as you are!"

"Haha, what’s there not to let go!" An Yuxing laughed.

Liang Shengze shook his head, "It’s been thirty years since I entered the Golden Body Realm, but my cultivation hasn’t progressed at all."

An Yuxing poured him a bowl of wine, "One must be content; reaching the Golden Body Realm is already a great fortune!"

These years, they’ve all experienced some setbacks. The Immortal Path is difficult, the martial path is also difficult, and once reaching the Golden Body Realm, progress is even more challenging.

Neither Liang Shengze nor An Yuxing had made any breakthroughs after entering the Golden Body Realm thirty years ago. It could even be said they had stagnated.

In fact, this is the normal situation.

People in the Spirit Source Land could repeatedly break through to the Golden Body Realm because they benefited from the Spiritual Spring Water.

Spiritual Spring Water has the effect of enhancing potential, and even ordinary people without any martial aptitude can become Innate Martial Artists with enough effort and the help of Spiritual Spring Water.

And if one’s aptitude is somewhat better, then there’s a chance to break into the Golden Body Realm.

However, once reaching the Golden Body Realm, trying to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, the Spiritual Spring Water’s effect becomes negligible.

Although the Spirit Source Land provides many other resources, these resources are not enough for everyone’s cultivation to continuously improve.

Not just An Yuxing and Liang Shengze, but others as well.

Currently, the highest cultivation among the martial artists in the Spirit Source Land is Yu Qingyi, who is at the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm.

But Yu Qingyi is different from others. The resources Yu Qingyi has received are incomparable to others.

Yu Qingyi is an exception, while An Yuxing and Liang Shengze are the normal case.

In all likelihood, they will remain in the Golden Body Realm for life. In the future, they might manage to break through to the mid or late stages of the Golden Body Realm, but that would be the extent of it.

Breaking through to the Divine Soul Realm is almost impossible.

"Indeed, reaching the Golden Body Realm is already fortunate! I never thought before that I could break through the Innate limit!" Liang Shengze nodded slightly, smiling.

For their generation to have such cultivation is already extremely lucky.

If it weren’t for Yang Zhenshan taking them away from Da’an, if it weren’t for Yang Zhenshan letting them reside in the Spirit Source Land, they would have long turned to dust.

As the two spoke, An Yuxing suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the eastern sky.

"What’s wrong?" Liang Shengze asked in confusion, turning his head to look eastward as well.

Only to see the eastern sky suddenly explode, a clear sky turning into a gilded furnace. Countless streams of red-gold light cascaded down from the Ninth Heaven, clouds twisting into a spiral-shaped golden vortex.
